STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
The directors present the Strategic Report for the year ended 31 March 2026 and are pleased to acknowledge another successful year despite challenges following continuing inflationary and cost pressures in the economy.
The Company continues to invest in its properties to strengthen its position which resulted in a small EBIT loss in the year despite EBITDA being positive. The Company is proud to be championing local food and drink, continuing to support local suppliers and employing a local labour force. The first year’s trade of the new café, Deck 1853, on the Ha’penny Pier was good with turnover of £262k. The Company’s investment in the joint venture at Kesgrave Hall Limited continues, details of the share in the loss and net assets held by Milsom Hotels is set out in note 15. The Company considers it key financial performance indicators to be growth in turnover, gross profit margin and net margin. Turnover has decreased by 0.6% to £12,401,432 (2025 - £12,476,863). The gross margin has increased to 76.1% (2025 - 75.5%). Overall, the Company has made a loss before tax of £10,205 (2025 - £81,193) and has net assets of £9,862,611 (2025 - £10,053,523). The financial position at year end was considered satisfactory by the directors of the Company to enter its operations for the following year.
The principal risks to the Company are shown below:
UK economy and interest rate risks: A sudden deterioration in the UK economy or a steep and sudden rise in the interest rates represent the key risks to the business. The directors have many decades of experience in this sector of the hospitality industry and recognise the importance of continued investment alongside a cautious approach to cost control and debt reduction.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
The Company's principal financial instruments comprise a bank loan, a bank overdraft, other creditor loans and amounts due from participating interests. The primary purpose of the above is to raise finance for the Company's operations. In addition, the Company has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade debtors and trade creditors arising directly from operations.
The Company's approach to managing the principal risks and uncertainties is shown below. Interest rate risk: Whilst the Company is exposed to interest rate risk by virtue of movements in the Bank of England base rate in respect of its borrowings, its exposure is limited by reference to the Company's low gearing. Liquidity and cash flow risk: The Company manages its cash and borrowing requirements in order to maximise interest income and minimise interest expense, whilst ensuring the Company has sufficient liquid resources to meet the operating needs of the business. Credit risk: The Company has minimal exposure to credit risk due to the nature of the trading activities. For customers who wish to trade on credit terms, they are subject to credit verification procedures. Price risk: The Company reviews its sales prices on an annual basis to ensure it remains competitive. Any fluctuations in the price of importing food and drink are a risk but these are closely monitored by the Company.
The directors monitor the financial health of the business through the review of monthly management accounts
and review of key performance indicators, such as turnover growth and gross margin. The Company considers its key performance indicator to be its focus on its gross profit margins, and in doing so the directors continue to monitor the costs of the Company closely.
The Company is investing in consolidating its position in the market by continuing to deliver exceptional customer service and its locations being great places to eat, drink and stay.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MILSOM HOTELS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Milsom Hotels Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 March 2026, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, 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).
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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
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.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MILSOM HOTELS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

MILSOM HOTELS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MILSOM HOTELS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 an Auditor's Report 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial experience and through discussions and enquiries of directors and management. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the Company. The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the Company: • Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements including UK financial reporting standards, UK Company Law and UK tax legislation; and • Those laws and regulations considered to have an indirect effect on the financial statements including licencing requirements, food hygiene, employment law and the Health & Safety Act 1974. Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the company complies with such regulations; enquiries of management and those charged with governance concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims, inspection of relevant legal documentation, review of board minutes, testing of journal entries, performance of analytical review to identify any unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
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 Auditor's Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Milsom Hotels Limited (the "Company") is a private company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 5th Floor, 167-169 Great Portland Street, London, England, W1W 5PF. The principal places of business are the locations of the Milsom hotels and restaurants.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The functional currency is sterling (£). The Company has not prepared consolidated financial statements on the basis that its subsidiaries are not material and have been dormant for the current and preceding periods.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
In making their assessment the directors have noted that as the 31 March 2026, the balance sheet shows a net current liability position. This is not uncommon for a hospitality business and represents the usual balance sheet position for the Company. Consequently, the directors do not believe that the net current liability position impacts their overall assessment of going concern as outlined hereafter. The Company meets its working capital requirements through a number of separate funding arrangements, as set out in note 19. The directors have made enquiries and prepared forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate, based upon the facilities the Company has available to it, the Company has adequate resources to continue to trade and settle its liabilities as they fall due for 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements.
On this basis, the directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The Company has the following revenue recognition policies:
Food and drink sales are recognised on the date that goods are supplied to customers. Hotel sales are recognised on the date that customers stay in the accommodation. Function sales are recognised on the date that the event takes place. Turnover excludes income received in advance of events that take place after the balance sheet date. These amounts are recognised in deferred income and released to the profit and loss account when the event takes place.
Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis over 10 years to the statement of comprehensive income over its useful economic life.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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 cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis.
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 or loss.
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 in the Company's Balance Sheet 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
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for

impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Basic 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 Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation on freehold property Depreciation is not charged on freehold property because the directors are of the opinion that the depreciation charge and accumulated depreciation are immaterial as the expected residual value of the properties are not significantly different to the carrying value and the company maintains all its properties in a good state of repair. Recoverability of amounts owed by a joint venture The directors have performed an assessment with regards to the amount outstanding from a joint venture. From this assessment, no concerns have been identified with regards to it being recoverable. Furthermore, it is not anticipated to be recovered within 12 months of the balance sheet date and hence the classification of the debt is shown as falling due after more than one year.
