| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Golden Eagle Luxury Trains Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 02567148. The registered office is Denzell House, Dunham Road, Altrincham, Cheshire, WA14 4QF. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements represent the results of the individual entity. |
| The functional currency is £ sterling. |
| Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
| The financial statements contain information about Golden Eagle Luxury Trains Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgement and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include the estimation of the useful lives and residual values of tangible fixed assets. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods and services, excluding value added tax and is recognised at the date of departure. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Train equipment and fittings | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
| At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. |
| 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. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately. |
| Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately. |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Investment in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost, less provisions for impairment. |

| Stocks |
| Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Financial instruments |
| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
| Financial instruments are recognised 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 trade debtors, amounts due from related party, other debtors, amounts owed by group undertakings, directors current accounts 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
| 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, other loans, trade creditors, other creditors, directors current accounts and accrued expenses, that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss, 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. |

| Foreign currencies |
| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at a rate of exchange approximating to that ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
| Pensions |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the profit and loss account. |
| Going concern |
| As in previous years tour activity in 2025 has been significantly impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions that followed. It has not been possible to run the Trans-Siberian programme since the invasion and this situation shows no sign of changing in the immediate future. |
| 2025 was a year of consolidation as the business sought to increase the number of tours operated and to strengthen its order book and charter business. Due to adverse movements in exchange rates and the cancellation of tours due to events outside our control a post tax loss for the year has been recorded |
| The company plans to grow its tour capacity in 2026 Funds are expected to be available to facilitate business growth if required to take advantage of the buoyant market conditions for the luxury train sector. |
| The Directors have the intention to sell Golden Eagle Luxury Trains Limited and Golden Eagle Luxury Trains Direct to a Luxury Trains operator, with the future intention of hiving across all trade of the entity to Golden Eagle Luxury Trains Direct. Therefore the directors believe it to be appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a non-going concern basis |
