Lily Five Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Group Accounts Office, Moth Club, Old Trades Hall, Valette Street, London, E9 6NU.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:

• Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures;

• Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues: Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments not measured at fair value; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;

• Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Disclosure of compensation for key management personnel, along with all other required related‑party information.

The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Solitaire Restaurants Holdings Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, Group Accounts Office, Moth Club, Old Trades Hall, Valette Street, London E9 6NU UK

At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. For this reason, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.true

Revenue represents the fair value of consideration received or receivable from the sale of food, drink and other hospitality services, stated net of VAT and discounts.

Revenue from bar sales, soft drinks and food is recognised at the point of sale, when the goods are provided to the customer and the customer obtains control of the goods.

Where the company provides events, venue hire or similar services, revenue is recognised over the period the service is provided, reflecting the stage of completion.

The company does not have material financing components, as sales are typically settled at the time of the transaction.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land is not depreciated.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

The policy is based on the useful life of the asset. Should a revaluation occur, depreciation on the asset would be over the remaining useful life and on the revalued amount. Please refer to Note 7, where the remaining useful life will be disclosed for each asset that has been revalued. The directors are responsible for obtaining the valuations for the buildings, and where third-party valuations have been carried out, this will be indicated in Note 7.

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost

represents the purchase price of finished goods held for resale, together with any costs incurred in bringing

those goods to their present location and condition.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks

over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or

loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and loans from fellow group companies are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, in which case the liability is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities that are payable within one year are not amortised.. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss unless it relates to a transaction recognised as other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement 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 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.

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 income statement, 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.

The Group operates a centralised payroll. All employees are contractually employed by Rose Fifteen Limited and provide services to the Group’s subsidiaries. In the consolidated financial statements, employee benefit costs (including wages and salaries, employer’s national insurance and pension contributions) are recognised in the profit or loss of the subsidiaries (or functions) that receive the benefit of the employees’ services, with a corresponding elimination of intra‑group recharges on consolidation. Therefore the average employee numbers in the subsidiaries will only have the directors. The consolidated financials for the group and Rose Fifteen will have the actual average employee numbers in the respective years.  

Employee benefits are accounted for in accordance with FRS 102 Section 28. Short‑term employee benefits are recognised as an expense as the related service is provided. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognised in the period in which the associated service is rendered.

For the year ended 31 May 2025, lease payments under operating leases, including any lease incentives, are recognised as an expense on a straight‑line basis over the lease term. This reflects the version of FRS 102 that applies to this period, which still distinguishes between operating and finance leases.

For accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, the revised FRS 102 (September 2024 edition) will require most leases to be recognised on the balance sheet as right‑of‑use assets and lease liabilities, except for leases that qualify as short‑term or low‑value. This change does not affect the current reporting period.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

The preparation of 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 revenue and expenses during the period. However, the nature of estimates means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates or judgements. The directors do not consider there to be any significant accounting estimates that would cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The following judgements have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:

The entity makes use of a 4-4-5 financial system for financial reporting and as a result this results a mismatch between the financial year end and the end of the 4-4-5 period , as such there could be minor differences due to timing which the directors expect due to the system used , however this will not impact the overall financial position and performance of the entity.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

The actual charge for the year can be reconciled to the expected charge for the year based on the profit or loss and the standard rate of tax as follows:

Land and buildings were revalued by the Directors based on their estimated market value, determined by reference to recent arm’s length market transactions for comparable properties. The resulting market values were not materially different from the assets’ carrying amounts and, accordingly, no revaluation gain or loss was recognised.

As the income statement has been omitted from the filing copy of the financial statements, the following information in relation to the audit report on the statutory financial statements is provided in accordance with s444(5B) of the Companies Act 2006.

The auditor's report is unqualified and includes the following:

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 May 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Emphasis of Matter – Valuation of Buildings

We draw attention to Note 7, to the financial statements, which describes that the valuation of buildings has been determined by the directors. Such valuations are based on assumptions and estimates regarding future market conditions and other factors, which are inherently uncertain. The directors have not engaged an independent external valuer in determining these valuations.

Therefore, the assurance obtained from audit work performed was based on valuation done by the directors.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

The following amounts were outstanding at the reporting end date:

There are no formal loan agreements or repayment terms in place, and the intercompany loan balance is repayable on demand.

The parent company is Rose Five Limited, a company registered in England and Wales.
