NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 21 DECEMBER 2025
Bathsheba (Properties) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in Scotland. The Company's registration number is SC330496 and its registered office address is 19 Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow, Scotland, G1 3AJ.
The principal activity of the Company in the year under review was that of a weddings and events venue and property investment company.
These financial statements have been presented in pound sterling, rounded to the nearest pound, as this is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
The accounting period was shortened to 21 December 2025 and, as a result, the current period's results may not be directly comparable with those of the previous period.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
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 requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the Group and Company's current and anticipated financial position, its cash flows, liquidity and forecasted performance alongside potential risks and mitigating factors for its ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of issue of these financial statements. Based on this review, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and thus consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Turnover arises primarily from the provision of wedding and events facilities and the service of food and beverage excluding discounts and value added tax. Revenue from weddings and events is recognised once the service is rendered. Where payment is received from the customer in advance of services provided, the amount is recorded in deferred income and included as part of creditors due within one year. Revenue from food and beverages is recognised at the point of sale and payment is received on the same day.
Rental income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the income can be reliably measured over the period of the lease. Income is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Income is recognised in the period in which the rental service is provided, when the income and the associated costs can be measured reliably and it is probable that consideration will be received in respect of the rental service provided.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 21 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
|
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Freehold property is held under the revaluation model and is stated at fair value less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

|
|
Tangible fixed assets (continued)
|
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
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.
Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by the Directors with reference to external valuations and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
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. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.
At each reporting 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.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Provisions for liabilities
|
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of Financial Position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of Financial Position.
|
|
|
Significant judgements and estimates
|
The preparation of these financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
Judgements and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Investment property estimates and assumptions present a potential risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Freehold and Investment properties
Freehold and Investment property values within the accounts are assessed annually by the Directors. Valuations are based on external valuations and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. There is a degree of judgement involved in that the value of the estate will ultimately be determined by the market.
|
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the period was 50 (2024 - 39).

The 2025 valuations were made by the Directors, on an open market value basis.
The most recent valuation of the properties held by the Company were carried out in March 2023 by Jones Lang LaSalle Limited. Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by the directors with reference to external valuations and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in nature, location or condition of the specific asset. This appraisal provides an indicative value that supports the carrying value of the investment properties presented within the financial statements. The Directors believe the values presented to be an accurate reflection of the fair value of the investment properties as at 21 December 2025.

If the Investment properties had been accounted for under the historic cost accounting rules, the properties would have been measured as follows:
