NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025
BXTR Ltd (company number SC469497), is a private company limited by shares and is incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is House Of Gods, 233 Cowgate, Edinburgh, EH1 1JQ.
The principal activity of the company continued to be that of hotel and hostel operations.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
In order to correctly allocate costs within the Statement of Financial Position, a number of balances have been reallocated within debtors and creditors. The directors consider this provides a more appropriate guide to performance and aligns the statutory financial statements with internal performance indicators. This has resulted in a reallocation of £87,209 between other debtors and prepayments and accrued income, £60,000 between bank loans and other creditors, and £605,639 between other creditors and accruals and deferred income.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
In the year ended 31 January 2025 the business had net current liabilities of £4,112,024 and net liabilities of £2,333,637, with a loss in the year of £1,216,907.
The company is in the business of hotel and hostel operations, supported by the wider group, and ultimately external organisation financing.
The directors have undertaken a detailed assessment of the company’s financial position, including an analysis of cash flow forecasts based around future trading and support from the wider group. The wider group is anticipating proceeds from a post year end fixed assets sale which will allow the wider group to invest that cash in future profit and cash generating opportunities. This investment, external debt financing and existing trading is expected to generate cash. The directors have therefore considered the availability of resources for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements at the BXTR Services Limited group level and the ability of that company to provide support to the group’s subsidiary entities. With external financing in place at a group level; cash expected from the sale of the fixed asset allowing increased profitability and cash generation in the group; and anticipated future group trading; it has been determined that BXTR Services Limited is able to provide financial assistance to the group’s subsidiary entities. Thus, with a letter of support from BXTR Services Limited, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, the directors consider that the use of the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements is appropriate. However, the group is reliant upon the proceeds from the future sale of the property and future profitability and the resulting cash generation which creates a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes.
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Short term employee benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the Statement of Financial Position date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following judgements and estimates have had the most significant effects on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Assessing impairment for tangible fixed assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Management consider each period whether there is any indication of impairment in relation to fixed assets. No such indicators have been identified in the current or prior period. There is no requirement to perform a
full impairment review unless such indicators exist.
Critical accounting judgements in applying the company’s accounting policies
In the opinion of the directors there are no other critical accounting judgements made in applying the company’s accounting policies that require disclosure in the financial statements.
Key source of estimation uncertainty
In the opinion of the directors there are no other key sources of estimation uncertainty that require disclosure in the financial statements.

The average monthly number of employees, including the directors, during the year was as follows:

During January 2024 (in the prior financial year), the company ceased trading from its nightclub and pub/bar attached to the House of Gods Hotel, Edinburgh. Both the nightclub and pub/bar have been loss making over a period of time and a corporate decision was taken to curtail such underperforming venues financially in an attempt to improve the company’s overall trading performance going forward in future years.

Obligations under finance leases were represented by hire purchase contracts and were secured on the assets to which they related.
The company does not have a bank overdraft. OakNorth Bank PLC loans were secured by a floating charge over the assets of the group and specific security against the freehold and leasehold properties in the group. A share pledge was also in place whereby the shares of BXTR Holdings Ltd were held by the lender until the loans were repaid in full. The company's loan notes were secured by way of a fixed and floating charge created on 19 June 2023 by BXTR Services Limited in favour of Imbiba Growth LLP as trustee for the Note Holders. BXTR Services Limited is the company's ultimate parent company.
The loan with OakNorth was fully repaid on 6 December 2024.

Profit and loss account
The profit and loss account includes all current period retained profits or losses.
Due to an accounting error, cost of sales and administrative expenses have been understated in previous periods. As such, both cost of sales and administrative expenses have been restated through the 2024 accounts. This has resulted in a restatement of £122,485 to the statement of comprehensive income for the year to 31 January 2024, a decrease in debtors of £2,180 and an increase creditors of £120,305.
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in independently administered funds. The pension costs and charges represent contributions payable by the company to the scheme in the period and amounted to £15,771 (2024 - £13,040). Contributions due to the fund at 31 January 2025 were £3,622 (2024 - £3,628) and are included in other creditors.

The company has taken advantage of the disclosure exemption from the requirement of FRS 102 Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7 from disclosing transactions with group undertakings on the basis that consolidated financial statements are available.
Transactions with directors
During the year, loans were extended to directors of £91,662, and payments were made against these loans of £314,923. Amounts totalling £50,000 were written off against directors loans, with a further provision of £95,335 processed. At the year end date, the total amount due from directors was £nil (2024 - £368,596).
