1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

ARE Broadway Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Scotland. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

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 the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern

On 29 September 2025, the company's 100% subsidiary Oval Properties 901 Limited approved Heads of Terms for the sale of their investment property following a structured marketing process. The sale of the property completed on 10 October 2025. Following the sale of the property, it is the intention of the directors to liquidate the company. As at the date of approval of these financial statements, no formal timetable for the liquidation has been established, however, in view of these circumstances, the directors do not consider the going concern basis of accounting to be appropriate.

Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared in a basis other than going concern. The loan between the company and its 100% subsidiary has been written down to its estimated net realisable value. At the reporting date, the outstanding amount due on the loan and accrued interest has been waived in full by the lender. The loan has been assessed for recoverability as at the reporting date and an impairment provision has been recognised.

Debtors

Trade debtors and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due with appropriate allowances for any irrecoverable amounts when there is objective evidence the asset is impaired.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash in hand and bank overdrafts.

Creditors

Trade creditors and other creditors are recognised where the company has a present obligation resulting from a past event and are recognised at the settlement amount due after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2023 - NIL).
