	Going concern
	The company incurred a loss for the year of £222,884 (2024: £174,978) and at the balance sheet date its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by £776,709 (2024: £554,582). Amounts owed to related undertakings of £3,145,911 (2024: £3,140,411) are interest free and repayable on demand. In addition, funds of £338,891 are held by HM Revenue and Customs pending the conclusion of an investigation, as described in the note on funds held by HM Revenue and Customs. The director has represented that the related undertakings will not seek repayment of the amounts owed to them within twelve months of the date of approval of these financial statements other than to the extent that the company has resources to do so, and that he will continue to make available such support as the company requires. On the basis of these representations the director considers it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. These conditions nevertheless indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the company were unable to continue as a going concern.

	Turnover policy

	Deferred tax
	Deferred tax is provided on timing differences, including the revaluation of investment property, at the rates expected to apply when the differences reverse.

	Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
	Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates determined by the director to write off the cost of each asset, less any estimated residual value, over its expected useful life.


		Reducing balance (%)
	Fixtures and fittings	20

	Investments
	Shares in group undertakings are stated at cost.

	Investment property
	Investment property is measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes recognised in profit or loss and, where arising from previous revaluations, held within the revaluation reserve; no revaluation was undertaken in the year and the carrying amount reflects the most recent valuation adopted by the director. No depreciation is provided on investment property.

	Financial instruments
	Basic financial instruments, including loans to and from related parties, are measured at transaction price less any impairment; such balances are interest free and repayable on demand unless otherwise stated.

2.	Staff Costs
	Wages and salaries of £25,140 (2024: £12,570) are year-end provisions in respect of the director and Ms Natalie Watts, credited to their respective loan accounts. Payroll records provided to the company by its previous accountants on 10 August 2026 record that a payroll was operated for the company under the previous arrangements under PAYE reference 120/ZE07825, through which salaries and statutory maternity pay were reported to HM Revenue and Customs; that the final submission under that reference related to the pay period ended 31 August 2024, at the beginning of the year, with no submissions recorded for the remainder of the year; and that statutory maternity payments ceased on 3 September 2024. The amounts recorded in respect of the year are not material to these financial statements, and do not correspond to payments in the company's accounting records. The wages recognised in these financial statements are the year-end provisions described above. An application for the registration of a new PAYE scheme has been made to HM Revenue and Customs; the amounts provided will be reported once registration is complete, and any resulting liabilities to income tax and national insurance will be accounted for at that time. No provision for such liabilities has been made in these financial statements. The reconciliation of the payroll records with these financial statements and the loan accounts will be dealt with in the 2026 review, and any adjustment arising will be made in that year.

	No provision for corporation tax has been made in these financial statements. Loans and advances to the director and to persons connected with the director, as set out in the notes on directors' advances and related party transactions, may give rise to a liability under section 455 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010, together with interest on any amount unpaid from the due date. The director has been advised of the potential liability and of the basis on which it would be computed, and has instructed that the corporation tax position, together with the matter described in the note on tangible fixed assets, be reviewed and, to the extent required, adjusted in the financial statements for the year ending 28 August 2026, which will be prepared by the company's newly appointed accountants. No adjustment has been made in these financial statements, in accordance with that instruction.

12.	Single asset or liability composition
	Other debtors include £338,891 in respect of funds transferred from the company's bank account and held by HM Revenue and Customs pending the conclusion of an investigation which was ongoing at the date of approval of these financial statements. The investigation concerns value added tax repayments made to related undertakings, funds from which were transferred to the company. The company's accountants are aware of the investigation and its subject matter. The outcome of the investigation, and consequently the recoverability of this amount, cannot presently be determined. On the basis of the director's assessment no provision has been made against the balance. Should some or all of the funds prove irrecoverable, a charge would arise in the period in which that outcome is determined.

The amount due from Manchester First Development Limited is secured by a fixed charge in the company's favour, created on 13 June 2024, over properties at 31 to 39 Price Street and 120 to 122 Market Street, which ranks ahead of a subsequent charge granted over the same properties. During the year advances totalling £83,794 were made to connected persons through related undertakings and have been recognised in the balances above and in the connected persons' loan accounts, in accordance with the accounting records and the director's instructions. The balances due to Tithebarn Gateway Ltd and to Lofthaus Developments Ltd arose from transfers to the company of funds received by those undertakings by way of value added tax repayments, which are the subject of the investigation described in the note on funds held by HM Revenue and Customs.
