| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 November 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The year remained operationally challenging, with changes in senior management and continued disruption arising from failures within the resort's spa and leisure facilities. Despite these challenges, the business delivered an improved financial performance, reflecting the resilience of the core hotel, golf and leisure operations together with continued focus on cost control and operational efficiency. |
| Turnover increased marginally to £5,692,811 (2024: £5,663,814). Although operational issues within the spa and leisure facilities continued throughout the year, improved control of administrative expenses resulted in operating profit increasing significantly to £296,060 (2024: £19,277). Loss for financial year reduced to £180,210 (2024: £479,914). This improvement reflects stronger operational performance, tighter cost management and more stable trading following the significant mechanical failures and facility closures experienced during the previous financial year. Management has continued to monitor departmental performance closely, with particular emphasis on payroll efficiency, energy consumption, maintenance expenditure and the profitability of the hotel, spa, leisure and golf operations. During the year, the company's freehold property was revalued, resulting in an increase in other comprehensive income of £1,516,925. Consequently, total equity increased to £1,034,661 at 30 November 2025 (2024: -£302,054). |
| Whilst profitability has improved, the directors continue to monitor working capital and cash flow closely to ensure the business remains financially resilient. |
| The company's principal objective remains to provide high-quality guest experiences while delivering sustainable, profitable growth. Its policies continue to focus on service quality, staff training and development, customer satisfaction, prudent financial management, effective cost control and targeted investment across the resort. Risk management procedures are reviewed regularly to identify and mitigate operational and financial risks as trading conditions evolve. |
| The company is continuing to invest in improvements designed to enhance the guest experience, strengthen the food and beverage offering and increase utilisation of the golf course and driving range facilities. In addition, preventative maintenance remains a key priority to reduce the risk of future operational disruption following the significant mechanical failures experienced over the last two financial years. |
| The directors will continue to review the operational and management structure to improve efficiency, maintain appropriate cost control and support long-term profitability. They believe that continued focus on preventative maintenance, targeted investment, disciplined cost management and careful working capital control will enable the company to remain resilient and respond effectively to future trading conditions. |
| Cost and pricing risks are managed through regular reviews of selling prices, departmental margins, supplier agreements and operating expenditure. Credit risk is controlled through established credit control procedures and ongoing monitoring of amounts due from customers and related parties. |
| Key performance indicators |
| The directors monitor the performance of the company using the following key performance indicators: |
| - Revenue, to assess overall trading performance across the hotel, leisure, spa, golf and associated operations. |
| - Average room rate and occupancy, to assess accommodation pricing, demand and yield management. |
| - Operating profit and EBITDA, to evaluate underlying operational performance and cost efficiency. |
| - Gross margin, to assess pricing, departmental performance, cost control and supplier management. |
| - Payroll costs, to monitor staffing efficiency while maintaining appropriate service standards. |
| - Cash flow and working capital, to ensure sufficient liquidity to meet operational and capital requirements. |
| - Net debt and covenant compliance, to assess the company's financial resilience and compliance with its banking arrangements. |
| The directors consider these measures appropriate for assessing the company's financial performance, operational efficiency and ability to support future investment. |

| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025 |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The company operates within the hotel and leisure sector and is exposed to changes in economic conditions, discretionary consumer spending and customer demand. These risks are managed through active pricing and revenue management, a diversified offering across hotel, spa, leisure and golf operations, and regular monitoring of trading performance. |
| The company is also exposed to increases in payroll, energy, food, insurance, maintenance and other operating costs. In particular, increases in the National Living Wage and associated employment costs continue to place pressure on operating margins. These risks are managed through ongoing reviews of staffing structures, procurement arrangements, departmental profitability, energy consumption and operating expenditure. |
| The recruitment and retention of suitably skilled employees, particularly within hospitality, spa and leisure operations, remains important to maintaining service standards and supporting revenue generation. The company continues to invest in recruitment, training and employee development. |
| The directors monitor these risks through detailed financial forecasting, regular performance reviews and, where appropriate, targeted investment in facilities and technology. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| 26 August 2026 |
| LQ SPA & GOLF RESORTS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 13695686) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 30 November 2025. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the group is that of running of Ufford Park Hotel, Golf & Spa, comprising hotel, leisure, spa, golf, and associated hospitality facilities. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 30 November 2025. |
| The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for the year ended 30 November 2025. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| At the date of approval of these financial statements, the refurbishment of the golf café was nearing completion, with final aesthetic finishes and furniture installation outstanding. |
| The company's future strategy remains focused on protecting the quality of its assets, enhancing the guest experience and delivering sustainable revenue growth. Investment in staff training, wellbeing and communication will continue to support service standards, employee retention and customer satisfaction. Relationships with key suppliers will also remain under review to ensure value for money, continuity of supply and operational resilience. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors who held office throughout the period from 1 December 2024 to the date of this report were: |
| - Mrs S Bansal |
| - Dr A Bansal |
| - Mr C R Jenno |
| - Mrs P J Walker |
| FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
| The company is exposed to credit, liquidity, interest rate, cash flow and price risks arising in the normal course of business. |
| The directors manage these risks through regular cash flow forecasting, effective working capital management and ongoing review of funding requirements and financial commitments to maintain adequate liquidity. |
| GOING CONCERN |
| Despite these risks and uncertainties, the directors have undertaken a comprehensive assessment of the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. |
| This assessment considered the company's financial position, trading forecasts, cash flow projections, available funding, financing arrangements and anticipated working capital requirements. It also took account of the company's improved profitability during the year, its net current liability position, balances due to and from related parties, and the ability of the company and the wider group to meet their obligations as they fall due. |
| Based on this assessment, the directors are satisfied that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. |

| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025 |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, FWC Advisory Ltd, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| LQ SPA & GOLF RESORTS LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of LQ Spa & Golf Resorts Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 November 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 30 November 2025 and of the group's loss 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. |
| Basis for opinion |
| We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| Material uncertainty related to going concern |
| We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a loss after tax of £180,210 during the year ended 30 November 2025 and, as at that date, had net current liabilities of £7,878,040. Whilst the Group reported net assets of £1,034,661, this includes a revaluation reserve of £1,516,925 arising from the revaluation of the Group's freehold property and does not represent realised profits available to support the Group's day-to-day liquidity requirements. As stated in Note 2, the Group remains reliant on the continued support of its directors, bankers and related parties to meet its liabilities as they fall due. These events and conditions, together with the other matters described in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due with the support of its directors, bankers and other related parties. The net current liabilities include a loan of £4,683,813, which was fully redeemed subsequent to the year end and refinanced to provide additional cash flow funding. Also included in current liabilities are loans from related parties that are not expected to be repaid within 12 months. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| LQ SPA & GOLF RESORTS LIMITED |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - | the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| - | adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
| In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| LQ SPA & GOLF RESORTS LIMITED |
| Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following: |
| - the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the design of the Company remuneration policies, key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets; |
| - results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities; |
| - any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Company documentation of their policies and procedures relating to: |
| - identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance; |
| - detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; |
| - the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
| - the matters discussed among the audit engagement team and involving relevant internal specialists, including tax specialists, regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. |
| As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in relation to valuation of fixed assets. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. |
| We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and tax legislation. |
| In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Company ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. These included compliance with GDPR regulation. |
| Audit response to risks identified: |
| As a result of performing the above, we identified valuation of fixed assets as a key audit matter related to the potential risk of fraud. |
| Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: |
| - reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements; |
| - enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; |
| - performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud and reviewing internal reports; |
| - obtained an understanding of provisions and held discussions with management to understand the basis of recognition or non-recognition of tax provisions; and |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| LQ SPA & GOLF RESORTS LIMITED |
| - in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
| We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members including internal specialists, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. |
| Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
| Use of our report |
| This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| 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 £. |
| Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
| The group has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": |
| • | the requirements of paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c); |
| • | the requirements of paragraphs 12.26, 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A; |
| • | the requirements of paragraphs 26.18(b), 26.19 to 26.21 and 26.23; |
| • | the requirement of paragraph 33.7. |
| Business combinations |
| In the parent company financial statements, the cost of a business combination is the fair value at the acquisition date of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. The excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill. The cost of the combination includes the estimated amount of contingent consideration that is probable and can be measured reliably, and is adjusted for changes in contingent consideration after the acquisition date. Provisional fair values recognised for business combinations in previous periods are adjusted retrospectively for final fair values determined in the 12 months following the acquisition date. Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are accounted for at cost less impairment. |
| Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the value of assets (other than goodwill) and liabilities recognised in a business combination accounted for using the purchase method and the amounts that can be deducted or assessed for tax, considering the manner in which the carrying amount of the asset or liability is expected to be recovered or settled. The deferred tax recognised is adjusted against goodwill or negative goodwill. |

| Basis of consolidation |
| The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company LQ Spa & Golf Resorts Limited together with all entities controlled by the parent company (its subsidiaries). |
| All financial statements are made up to 30 November 2025. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the group. |
| All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. |
| Subsidiaries are consolidated in the group's financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. |
| Going concern |
| The directors have considered the financial position of the group and its ability to continue as a going concern. The Group is reliant on the support of its directors, bankers, and other related parties to meet its liabilities as they fall due. |
| At 30 November 2025, the Group had net current liabilities of £7,878,040 (2024: £3,290,629) and incurred a loss after taxation of £180,210 for the year (2024: £479,914). The net current liabilities includes a loan of £4,683,813, which was fully redeemed subsequent to the year end and loans from related party of £1,649,814 which are not expected to be repaid within 12 months. Although the Group reported net assets of £1,034,661 at the year end (2024: net liabilities of £302,054), this position includes a revaluation reserve of £1,516,925 arising from the revaluation of the Group's freehold property and does not represent realised profits available to support the Group's day-to-day liquidity requirements. |
| The Group's reliance on continued financial support together with its net current liability position indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. |
| Subsequent to the year end but before report date, the Group refinanced its existing borrowings through a new £5.7 million banking facility, with a final maturity date in February 2031. The facility was used principally to refinance existing indebtedness and provide additional funding for the Group. |
| The Group's operating performance has improved significantly, with operating profit increasing to £296,060 in 2025 from £19,249 in 2024. Hence the directors remain satisfied that the Group will continue to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due and, accordingly, have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group were unable to continue as a going concern. |
| Reporting period |
| The financial statements have been prepared for the year ended 30 November 2025. The comparative amounts are for the year ended 30 November 2024. |

| Turnover |
| Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebate. |
| Revenue is recognised as follows: |
| Rooms |
| Revenue is recognised when the rooms are occupied. |
| Food and beverages |
| Revenue is recognised at the point of sale, when the food and beverages have been provided. |
| Golf, health club and spa memberships |
| Revenue is recognised over the period of membership. |
| Golf green fees and shop income, health club and spa treatments and products |
| Revenue is recognised when the goods or service has been provided. |
| Deferred revenue consisting of deposits paid in advance are recognised on the day that the services are performed. |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of a business over the fair value of net assets acquired. It is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is considered to have a finite useful life and is amortised on a systematic basis over its expected life, which is 10 years. |
| For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Property, plant and equipment 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 and buildings | 2% straight line |
| Plant and machinery | 10% - 25% straight line |
| Fixtures and fittings | 10% - 25% straight line |
| Equipment | 10% - 20% straight line |
| 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 recognised in the income statement. |

| Stocks |
| Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. |
| At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of inventories 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. |

| Financial instruments |
| The group 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 group's statement of financial position when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and 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 |
| Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables 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. |
| Other financial assets |
| Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment. |
| 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. |
| Derecognition of financial assets |
| Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the group transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. |
| Classification of financial liabilities |
| 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 group after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Basic financial liabilities |

| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares 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 classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
| Trade payables 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 payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Derecognition of financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities are derecognised when the group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. |
| Equity instruments |
| Equity instruments issued by the group 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 group. |
| Taxation |
| 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 group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date. |
| Deferred tax |
| 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 if, and only if, there is 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. |

| Leases |
| Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases. |
| Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. |
| Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. |
| Employee benefits |
| The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or non-current assets. |
| The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. |
| Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. |

| 3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
| In the application of the group’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| Key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows. |
| Fair value, residual value and depreciation of freehold property |
| Freehold property represents the company's most significant asset and is assessed to have a useful life of 50 years and is carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent depreciation. |
| The value of the freehold property as at 30 November 2025 was determined based on an external valuation,having regards to factors such as current and future projected income levels, location and recent market transactions in the sector. Carrying value is then calculated on the basis of estimates and of useful life and residual value of the company's property which are determined by management and reviewed annually for appropriateness. |
| Goodwill amortisation |
| Goodwill arising from the acquisition of the subsidiary is amortised over its estimated useful life of 10 years. The useful life is determined based on expected duration of economic benefit from the hotel. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. These assessments involve significant estimates and assumptions on projected future cash flows, discount rates and growth rates. Any changes to these assumptions could lead to material adjustments to the carrying amount of goodwill. |
