The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The principal activity of the company during the year under review was a hotel.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The results for the year show revenues generated of £6,104,561 (2024 - £5,818,851) and a loss before tax of £(90,807) (2024 - £(35,221)). Further details of the company's financial performance can be found in the annexed financial statements.

The directors are pleased to note customer demand remaining strong and occupancy levels continued to improve. Meanwhile, the company continues to work closely with its suppliers and associates, to ensure its delivery continues to meet or exceed expectations.

Given the nature of its business structure, rising employment costs squeeze the company's available margins, although the directors look to mitigate that where possible.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The principal risk to the business is inadequate occupancy of its available rooms and therefore an inability to generate sufficient revenues to service operations. The directors closely monitor the company's performance against similar businesses operating in comparable markets and respond accordingly.

Similarly, the company carefully monitors its compliance with brand standards, and regularly compares its performance against other (local and national) hotels to ensure it remains competitive.

The company is also susceptible to any loss in key members of operational staff and therefore operates a number of performance reward and incentive programmes to mitigate these risks.

Finally, the company is as susceptible to economic fluctuations as any other. The UK economic climate therefore poses a further risk to the company, and its customer base, of which the directors are very aware. As above, ensuring sufficient demand is key to combatting the threats this poses.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT

Stakeholder engagement

The board of directors have a legal responsibility under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 to act in the way we consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the company's success for the benefit of its members as a whole, and to have regard to the long-term effect of our decisions on the company and its stakeholders. This statement addresses the ways in which we as a board handle this responsibility.

Decision making

Regular operational and strategic meetings are held by the directors and general managers. This ensures the board has access to the key factors affecting all areas of the business' decision making, shorter term or longer.

Furthermore, the company is in constant communication with various industry specific news sources. This enables the directors to keep abreast of, and address, all longer-term shifts in the company's operating markets.

Employee engagement

The company maintains a diverse workforce of local employees spanning all aspects of the hotel delivery, supplemented by outsourced staff and suppliers where necessary. Staff are rewarded in line with comparable local markets, provided with specific training relevant to their needs and have access to wider industry opportunities as a result of the same.

Business relationships

The company actively maintains strong relationships with its key suppliers and support functions, to ensure it has access to the resources it needs to operate effectively.

Community and environmental impact

The directors remain ever conscious of the impact their business has on the local community and environment.

Business conduct

The directors closely monitor the company's service delivery to ensure at all times the business is honest, fair and professional in its conduct with all stakeholders.

Shareholder engagement

The company is actively managed by its shareholders, who are all represented on the board of directors.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 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 company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Goldwyns Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

J D Levy - Director

25 September 2026

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Tankersley Hotels Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its 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 company 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.

Conclusions relating to going concern

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.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the 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 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 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 company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-	the 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 four, 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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.

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.

In order to address the risks of misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud, we have:

-

obtained an understanding of the key laws and regulations applicable to the company, including the Companies Act 2006, its Mercure franchise agreement and applicable taxation legislation;

-

assessed the company's own internal controls and systems for the prevention and detection of irregularities and particularly the control environment within which they operate;

-

determined a materiality level and audit approach sufficient to identify most irregularities, including fraud, that may occur;

-

considered our own involvement in the preparation of the company's statutory financial statements and taxation returns;

-

conducted audit verification work, on a sample basis, on the key audit areas and risks we have identified; and

-

reflected on the outcome of our work, and the likelihood that conclusions drawn may be indicative of other areas of potential irregularity.

We therefore consider our audit approach has been sufficient to detect material irregularities, including fraud.

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.

TAXATION

Analysis of the tax charge

No liability to UK corporation tax arose for the year ended 31 December 2025 nor for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Reconciliation of total tax charge included in profit and loss

The tax assessed for the year is higher than the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK. The difference is explained below:

Loss before tax

(90,807

Although historically deferred tax assets have not been recognised, the company does benefit from trading losses (£5.55m) carried forward, significant ongoing capital allowances (£1.9m) and capital losses (£3.7m) which will reduce its exposure to future taxable profits accordingly.

On 16 November 2018 the company entered into agreement to sell and then leaseback the property from which it trades, over a period of 175 years. This lease substantially amounts to a financing lease, as the company will derive benefit from the property throughout a major part of its useful life, and has been recognised accordingly.

The disposal event created an accounting loss which has been recognised as an intangible fixed asset (above) and is being written down over the same period as the property.

Fixed assets, included in the above, which are held under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are as follows:
