Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2025

1. General information

The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 10 Orange Street, Haymarket, London, United Kingdom, WC2H DQ.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

At the year end, the company has net liabilities of £659,664 (2024: £394,973). At the time approving the financial statements, the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future on the understanding that the company has the ongoing support of group entities which have lent money to the company. The company is reliant on its parent company, Lake Merritt Hospitality Holdings Limited, which has confirmed that it will provide the necessary financial support for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The company also has assurances from its ultimate parent company, Lake Merritt UK Hospitality Fund, and the shareholders of said company have pledged their continued support to the Lake Merritt Group. Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty as a result if the factors above and that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the directors' report and accounts.

Revenue recognition

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services rendered net of discounts and value added tax. Revenue corresponds to the value of goods and services sold by the company in the ordinary course of business. Revenues are primarily derived from the sale of hotel accommodation, food and beverage. Revenue from the sale of goods and services is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer (usually on dispatch of the goods or service); the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in equity in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in equity in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property	-	over 50 years
Fixtures and fittings	-	over 5 years
Computer equipment	-	over 5 years

Investments

Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Investments in associates

Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income/profit or loss. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition.

Investments in joint ventures

Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income/profit or loss. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the joint venture arising before or after the date of acquisition.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the costs of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads. At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit and loss.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

4. Employee numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company during the year amounted to 12 (2024: 17 ).

Bank loans are secured against the property and the company's intellectual property rights by way of fixed and floating charges and negative pledge. During the year management conducted a review with regards to the terms in respect of amounts due to group undertakings and reclassified the amounts previously disclosed within creditors falling due after more than one year to creditors falling due within one year. The corrected policy has been retrospectively applied and the comparative figures restated accordingly.

9. Comparative restatement

As disclosed in note 10 to the financial statements, the amounts due to group undertakings, previously classified as "due after more than one year," were reclassified as "due within one year," as these amounts were payable on demand. The effect was to reduce the amount classified as creditors due after more than one year by £3,225,662 and increase creditors due within one year by this amount. There was no effect on profit /loss for the year and no effect on the net liability figure in relation to the comparative year. No adjustments were required with regards to amounts due from group undertakings

10. Other financial commitments

The company has entered into a commitment to guarantee a loan issued to other group companies, supported by a debenture, bond and a fixed and floating charge over the assets of the company.
