| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Related party exemption |
| The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
| Going concern |
| The primary activity of the company was that of a holding company, holding an investment in the share capital of Tarak Retail Limited. The company is a trading subsidiary of QUIZ Limited, a company based in Jersey. |
| Post year-end, the trading activities of Tarak Retail Limited have been wound down. Tarak Retail Limited has incurred losses in the year to 31 March 2025 and it continues to incur losses. Accordingly, the investment in Tarak Retail has been fully impaired in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| QUIZ Limited has confirmed that it will provide financial support as required by the company to ensure that it will continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of the signing of these financial statements. |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. Any impairments losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss. |

| Financial instruments |
| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS102, in full, to all of its financial instruments. |
| Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument, and are offset only when the company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
| Financial assets |
| Other and inter-company debtors |
| Inter-company debtors which are receivable within one year and which do not constitute a financing transaction are initially measured at the transaction price. Inter-company debtors are subsequently measured at amortised cost, being the transaction price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses. |
| Where the arrangement with a debtor constitutes a financing transaction, the debtor is initially measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently measured at amortised cost. |
| A provision for impairment of inter-company debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the amounts due will not be collected according to the original terms of the contract. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss for the excess of the carrying value of the trade debtor over the present value of the future cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate. Subsequent reversals of an impairment loss that objectively relate to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, are recognised immediately in profit or loss. |
| Financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities and equity |
| Financial instruments are classified as liabilities and equity instruments 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. |
| Equity instruments |
| Financial instruments classified as equity instruments are recorded at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. |
| Trade, other and inter-company creditors |
| Trade, other and inter-company creditors payable within one year that do not constitute a financing transaction are initially measured at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, being the transaction price less any amounts settled. |
| Where the arrangement with a trade, other or inter-company creditor constitutes a financing transaction, the creditor is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar instrument. |
| Derecognition of financial liabilities |
| 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 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 statement of financial position date. |

| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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. |
| Dividends |
| Dividends are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the Company. |
