Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
HGC Investments Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 11656088 . The registered office is 100 Boldmere Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B73 5UB.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is in the Pound Sterling (£).
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
As at 30 November 2025, the balance sheet reflects net current liabilities amounting to £11,271,057. However, included within creditors due within one year is £2,789,387 due to the parent company and £6,154,500 due to a fellow subsidiary. Both the parent company and the fellow subsidiary have given their assurances that they will continue to support the company and will not request repayment of the balance until other creditors have been settled.
Based on this continued support and the directors’ assessment of the company’s future cash flows and available resources, the directors consider that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
2.2. Turnover
Interest income is recognised in the income statement in the period to which it relates. Dividend income is recognised as the company's right to receive payment is established.
2.3. Foreign Currencies
Monetary 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 the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
2.4. 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.

2.4. Taxation - continued
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the 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.
2.5. Investments
Investments are recognised initially at cost, which is normally the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, investments are measured at fair value through the income statement if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.
The investment in the Prudential Investment Plan is valued by reference to the unit price at the year end, with the fair value adjustment recognised in the income statement.
The investments in the Barclays Advisory and Discretionary portfolios comprise of a number of investments in cash, short term maturity bonds, developed government bonds, investment grade bonds, high yield and emerging market bonds, developed market equities, emerging market equities, commodities, real estate, alternative trading strategies and multi class and other investments. The cash balances are reflected under cash at bank and are recorded at transaction price. The other classes of investment are reflected under other investments. The portfolio is valued by reference to the market values provided in the investment report at the balance sheet date with the fair value adjustment recognised in the income statement. Deferred tax is reserved accordingly on the Barclays investments fair value gains.
