2	Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' including Section 1A and the Companies Act 2006. There are no material departures from FRS 102.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

The functional currency of Backwell House Limited is considered to be pounds sterling because it is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates.

Going concern

On 31 March 2022 the hotel began to wind down its operations. As required by UK accounting standards, the directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the company is no longer a going concern. No material adjustments arose as a result of ceasing to apply the going concern basis. The company's parent, Hobbs Properties Limited, will continue to support the company as required in meeting its liabilities as they fall due. The directors do not currently plan to wind up the company.

Revenue recognition

Turnover represents the fair value of consideration receivable, excluding value added tax, in the ordinary course of business for goods and services provided. Turnover in respect of accommodation and events such as weddings is recognised at the date of stay or the date of the event; deposits received in advance are shown in other creditors until that date. Other sales are recognised at the date of delivery.

Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company's obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.

The company holds the following financial instruments:

• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Cash and bank balances; and
• Amounts owed to the parent company.

All financial instruments are classified as basic.

Such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment judgements.

8	Audit report

The Independent Auditors' Report was unqualified. We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statements which explains the hotel began to wind down its operations on 31 March 2022 and therefore the directors do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern as described in Note 2. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. The name of the Senior Statutory Auditor who signed the audit report was Tom Beable FCA, who signed for and on behalf of PKF Francis Clark on 9 December 2025.
