Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2025

1.Accounting policies
Statutory information
The company is a private company limited by shares and registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102 Section 1A as it applies to the financial statements for the period and there were no material departures from the reporting standard.
Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in sterling and this is the functional currency of the company.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company is a non-trading holding entity and therefore relies on financial support from its trading subsidiaries to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The trading subsidiaries continue to generate positive cash flows and have confirmed that they will provide financial support to the Company for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors have reviewed the Group’s cash flow forecasts and budgets, including sensitivities, and have considered both current performance and future trading expectations. Based on this review, and on the continued availability of financial support from the trading subsidiaries, the directors believe that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Revenue from rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
Employee benefits
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets as follows:

Straight line (years)
Office Equipment3
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value where the difference between cost and fair value is material. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account.
2.Average number of employees

20252024
Average number of employees during the year00
3.Further information regarding the company's income
During the year, the Company incurred certain central administrative and support costs on behalf of the Group. These costs are recharged to the relevant subsidiaries through annual management charges, determined with reference to the underlying expenditure and the expected level of support provided. Where timing differences arise between the incurring of expenditure and settlement of management charges, the amounts are recognised within intercompany loan accounts. Intercompany balances are unsecured, interest-free, and repayable on demand unless otherwise stated. The directors consider these balances to be recoverable. The Company had no revenue during the year and relies on recoveries from subsidiaries via management charges and intercompany settlements to cover its operating costs.
