| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| 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 operating under the Delta Marriott franchise. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The results for the year show revenues generated of £4,291,342 (2024 - £3,992,592) and a resultant profit before tax of £1,490,633 (2024 - loss before tax of £429,237). |
| However, the directors took the decision to market the business for sale and on 8 September 2026 finalised an agreement to sell its leasehold property interest and, consequently, discontinue its primary operations. As such, it is no longer appropriate to prepare the company's accounts on the presumption it remains a going concern - this is a fundamental change to the way in which the figures are presented, and on which details can be found in the accompanying notes. |
| Although it was a difficult decision to make, the directors express their thanks to the many employees, stakeholders, customers and suppliers who have supported the company during their tenure. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| Given the discontinuation of the company's activities, the directors do not consider it necessary to set out further details on the principal risks and uncertainties applicable to the business. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| DRAGONGLASS MILTON KEYNES LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06398416) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2025. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 December 2025. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2025 to the date of this report. |
| 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: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| DRAGONGLASS MILTON KEYNES LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Dragonglass Milton Keynes 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 profit 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. |
| Emphasis of matter |
| We draw attention to note 2 of the financial statements, which describes their departure from the going concern presumption and the consequential presentation of the company's figures. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this change of basis. |
| 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| DRAGONGLASS MILTON KEYNES LIMITED |
| 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 three, 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 Delta Marriott 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| DRAGONGLASS MILTON KEYNES LIMITED |
| 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. |

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Dragonglass Milton Keynes Limited is a |
| The company trades from its leased property in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
| The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption 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 Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Turnover represents the income receivable by the company from its trading activities as a hotel. Sales encompass room hire, food and beverage income and all other associated ancillary hotel and guest services. Turnover is recognised in the period in which the physical goods are sold, as services are performed or otherwise as entitlement accrues to the company. |
| Other income |
| During the year ended 31 December 2024 the company received £400,000 of income from its franchiser. The amounts have been deferred and are being released evenly over the life of the franchise agreement. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Amortisation policy - over a period of 175 years |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Long leasehold | - |
| Fixtures, fittings and equipment | - |
| 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 balance sheet date. |

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
| The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Going concern |
| On 8 September 2026 the company entered into an agreement to sell its leasehold property interest and, consequently, discontinue its primary operations. As such it is no longer appropriate to prepare its accounts on the presumption it remains a going concern. |
| The company's fixed assets have therefore been reviewed and impaired to their realistic anticipated recoverable value. The assessment of that impairment is supported by external valuations the company has received and the final amounts agreed in its subsequent property sales contract. That valuation likewise includes the purchaser taking responsibility for the ongoing rentals due under the company's property lease, so these accounts reflect an unwinding of the balance of that finance liability as an obligation taken up by a third party. However, both the previous valuations and the actual circumstances of the sale (which had not been exchanged at the year end itself) demonstrate that it realistically would take the company up to 12 months to realise such proceeds, so a provision for 12 months' rental liability remains on the balance sheet. |
| The company has also assessed its likely costs for terminating its other finance liabilities early, exiting its franchise agreement and other ongoing operative contracts, and making its workforce redundant. These have been recognised as additional costs where appropriate. |
| The company's other operative assets and liabilities - e.g. stocks and outstanding debtor balances - have generally been recognised at their recoverable amounts. As no binding contract existed at 31 December 2025 and many operative activities continued for some time thereafter, the directors assess there is generally no change in the recognition of those balances (albeit a more prudent view has been taken, where recoverability requires a longer period of time to realise). |
| The consequential effects on the company's profit and loss figures primarily represent exceptional items, and have been presented accordingly. |
| Given the significance of these changes, please note the comparability of these figures to the preceding years' figures is also impaired. |

| The group's bankers hold legal charges over all of the company's property in support of the group's financing facilities. |
| On 8 April 2019 the company entered into agreement to sell and then leaseback the property from which it previously traded over a period of 175 years. This lease substantially amounted to a financing lease, as the company would derive benefit from the property throughout a major part of its useful life, and had been recognised accordingly. |
| The finance lease has been derecognised further to the change in accounting basis - see note 2 for further details. |
| The disposal event created an accounting loss which had been recognised as an intangible fixed asset (above) and was previously being written down over the same period as the property. |

| On 8 April 2019 the company entered into an agreement to lease the property from which it traded for a period of 175 years. This transaction amounts to a finance lease and had been recognised accordingly. The company was liable for an annual rent of £214,398, adjusted for changes in the retail price index but subject to a minimum of 1% and a maximum of 4% increase per year. |
| Throughout the initial period of the lease the annual interest arising exceeded the rental payments due and therefore the company's recognised finance liability continued to increase. |
| When the company ceased to apply the going concern basis (above), it also derecognised the majority of its finance lease liability outstanding as part of its assessment of the carrying value of that leasehold interest - see note 2 for further details. |
