STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 1 -

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

Fair review of the business

The financial year ended 31 December 2025 saw a slight increase in revenues compared to the previous year.Turnover for the year was £7,669,828, representing a 2.02% increase compared to the prior year. Despite

continued inflationary pressure on wages, utilities, and supplies, the company successfully maintained a largely flat cost base year-on-year through disciplined management, cost control and operational efficiencies.

 

Food and beverage revenue was impacted by a significantly lower number of Manchester United home fixtures at Old Trafford, which negatively affected premium demand days. This negative effect is expected to continue into the

first half of 2026 but it is expected to be reversed in latter part of 2026 now that the football club has once again qualified for European cup games.

 

While during the year overall occupancy was maintained at broadly similar levels to the prior year, there was a slight increase in administration expenses. Although the company implemented effective cost control measures as

mentioned above, the increase in administration expenses is mainly due to increased fixed asset depreciation costs of £247,561, representing a 53.81% increase compared to the prior year. The resulting impact was an operating

loss for the year of (£78,012), compared to an operating profit of £109,262 in the previous year.

 

After interest charges of £2,528,574, which include a non recurring one time loss on financial instruments of £772,800 and re financing related costs of £588,000, and the exceptional group debt provision of £1,745,052, the company has incurred a loss for the year after tax of £4,238,574.  This has resulted in the company being in a net liabilities position of (£3,663,777). At the balance sheet date, the company has significant group financial support, which includes group liabilities by way of shareholder loan balances of £11,867,375. This group debt is included within creditor amounts payable within one year on the basis that there is no formal group funding agreement, although there are group assurances that repayment will not be sought until cash flow permits.

 

The Directors are satisfied based on the continued group financial support and following the bank refinancing, that the company has sufficient resources to continue to trade as a going concern. Further details are provided in the going concern accounting policy per note 1.2.

 

During the year, Hotel Football continued to deliver very strong guest satisfaction results, consistently ranking amongst the leading hotels in the Marriott Tribute Portfolio and receiving excellent feedback across multiple guest-experience platforms. Employee engagement also remained very high, underpinning service delivery and operational stability.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Supply chain and cost disruption

The hospitality sector remains exposed to inflationary pressures, particularly across wages, energy, and consumables. The outbreak of the conflict in the middle east is also causing concerns around the cost of utilities as a result of the surge in oil prices. The Directors recognise that not all cost increases can be fully offset through pricing strategies although concerted efforts in this regard are continuing and the company continues to mitigate this risk through proactive procurement practices, cost discipline, and a focus on operational efficiency, without compromising service quality.

Financial risk management

The company maintains policies to ensure that appropriate and cost-effective financing arrangements are in place to support both current operations and future activities. The objective is to minimise exposure to financial risk while maintaining adequate liquidity. To this effect, during the financial year the company refinanced its debt base.

Liquidity and funding

The company is financed through committed bank facilities. Cash flow is monitored closely to ensure that the company can meet all foreseeable obligations as they fall due. During the year, the company refinanced its banking facilities. In connection with this refinancing, the company incurred one‑off costs of approximately £588k, which are reflected within finance costs in the P&L. While these costs had a material adverse impact on the results for the year, they are non‑recurring and relate solely to the execution of the refinancing.

Interest rate risk

Exposure exists to fluctuations in base interest rates which could affect borrowing costs. The renewal of banking facilities in mid-2025 mentioned above is expected to place the company in a position to benefit from potentially lower interest rates in the forthcoming financial period.

Credit risk

The company is exposed to credit risk from trade debtors. Credit limits are established using a combination of trading history and independent credit references, with balances monitored regularly by the Directors.

Key Performance Indicators

The company reviews and monitors its performance against a number of key performance indicators both financial and non-financial. The principal measures include turnover, improvement of profit margins, average room revenue against market average, guest satisfaction and team engagement score. These are reviewed by the management team and reported to the Board on a monthly basis.

The Board have and will continue to monitor all of the KPI’s and daily operating controls and maintain a strong focus on increasing performance in all aspects of the business.

The main KPI’s and corresponding results are as follows:

 

2025

2024

Turnover

£7.67m

£7.52m

Gross profit margin

78.57%

79.33%

 

 

 

Guest satisfaction

86%

89%

Team engagement score

88%

89%

 

The Directors are pleased with the level of room revenue increase during the year, the overall level of guests satisfaction, and the high level of team engagement achieved within the hotel.  The hotel has also hosted some very important events during the year with a high degree of success.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 4 -

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Principal activities

The principal activity of the company continued to be that of the operation of a hotel in Manchester branded as 'Hotel Football'. Hotel Football forms part of the Tribute collection, one of Marriott’s soft brands.

Results and dividends

The results for the year are set out on page 10.

No ordinary dividends were paid. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.

Directors

The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

G A Neville
R J Giggs
L H Chan
(Resigned 3 February 2025)
W K Lim
(Appointed 3 February 2025)
Future developments

Looking ahead, trading in the first half of 2026 has been broadly in line with 2025. Management remains focused on attracting new customer segments to mitigate the impact of reduced match-day-related revenues while Manchester United are not competing in European competitions, promoting hotel rooms, food, and beverage sales to corporate clients, leisure visitors, and local groups to maintain steady occupancy and revenue.

Auditor

The auditor, Sumer Auditco Limited, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

Statement of directors' responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report 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:

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 of disclosure to auditor

Each of the directors in office at the date of approval of this annual report confirms that:

 

Going concern

The financial statements of the company have been prepared using the going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons:

 

 

 

 

The directors have approved profit and loss budgets to December 2026 as well as cash flow forecasts until December 2027.

 

These forecasts indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. In addition, these forecasts show that the company will remain within the covenants set under its external banking facilities for the foreseeable future.

 

The company refinanced in June 2025 with BNF Bank Plc for the amount of £14,450,000. This amount will be due in 3 years with an option for two additional 12 month extension options subject to bank consent. The loan is secured with fixed and floating charges over the assets of the company.

 

These cash flow forecasts are dependent on the company's immediate parent company, Orchid Leisure Limited not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due to the group, which on 31 December 2025 amounted to £11,867,375 (2024: £10,877,025). Orchid Leisure Limited has indicated that it does not intend to seek repayment of these amounts for a period of 12 months from 31 December 2025.

 

In addition to the above, the Company has received a letter of support from its ultimate parent company RSP Holdings PTE Limited stating that it will continue to provide such funds as they are needed by the company for at least 12 months after the date the financial statements are signed.

 

As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue, although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so.

 

Based on the above, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least the next 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Medium-sized companies exemption

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the medium-sized companies exemption.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF OLD TRAFFORD SUPPORTERS CLUB LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Old Trafford Supporters Club Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including 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:

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 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 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

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 directors' report.

 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, 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 is 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.

Auditor's 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 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 and sector experience, and through discussions with the directors (as required by auditing standards) and discussed with the directors the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.

 

Firstly, the company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation and taxation legislation. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and

regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

 

Secondly, the Company is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect; laws related to Health and Safety, Employment, UK Companies Act, Pension Legislation and Tax Legislation.

 

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Through these procedures we did not become aware of any actual or suspected non-compliance.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

 

We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outline below to detect material misstatement due to fraud:

 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

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 an auditor's report 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.

Company information

Old Trafford Supporters Club Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Hotel Football, 99 Sir Matt Busby Way, Manchester, M16 0SZ.

1.1
Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:

 

 

The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of RSP Topco PTE Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, 20 Collyer Quay, #11-07, Singapore 049319.

Going concern

The financial statements of the company have been prepared using the going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons:

These forecasts indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.

1.3
Turnover

Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts, and volume rebates. The company recognises revenue from the following major sources:

 

 

The nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms of the company’s major sources of revenue are as follows:

 

Hotel room stays

The company generates revenue from the provision of hotel accommodation services, which includes the rental of hotel rooms to customers for stays. Revenue from the rental of hotel rooms is recognised at the point in time when the customer occupies the room, as the performance obligation is satisfied on the delivery of the service to the customer.

 

Food and beverage sales

The company generates revenue from the sale of food and beverages in the hotel restaurant and bar. Revenue is recognised at the point in time when the customer receives the food or beverage, typically at the time of consumption. The performance obligation is satisfied at this point, and revenue is recognised based on the amount billed to the customer.

 

Room hire for events

The company generates revenue from the provision of room hire services for corporate or other large events. Revenue from room hire is recognised over time, as the service is performed. The company satisfies the performance obligation as the event takes place, which may span over one or more days. The revenue recognised is based on the agreed booking price and is recognised in accordance with the timing of the event or rental period.

 

Revenue is recognised only when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

 

Where services are invoiced in advance, amounts are deferred and recognised as revenue over the period to which the services relate.

Other income

Other income is recognised at fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services provided for rental services, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair vale of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates. Rental income is recognised for the period it relates to.

1.4
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

 

Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.

Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Development Costs
5 years
1.5
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Buildings
50 years - straight line basis p.a
Plant and machinery
4 to 15 years  - straight line basis p.a
Fixtures, fittings & equipment
7 years - straight line basis p.a

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

1.6
Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

 

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.7
Stocks

Stocks comprising mainly food and beverages are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in-first-out method.

 

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and estimated costs to make the sale.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

1.8
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9
Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ 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 debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Trade debtors, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as 'loans and receivables'. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 

Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating the interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the debt instrument to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

 

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

 

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of 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 deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Other financial liabilities

Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.

 

Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as being measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

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 deducting all of its liabilities.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.11
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax

Deferred taxation is recognised in respect of all timing differences which have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and the results as stated in the financial statements which arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised for tax purposes.

 

A net deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised only when it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of underlying timing differences can be deducted.

 

Deferred tax is not recognised when fixed assets are revalued unless by the balance sheet date there is a binding agreement to sell the revalued asset and the resulting gain or loss has been recognised in the financial statements. Neither is deferred tax recognised when fixed assets are sold and it is more likely than not that the taxable gain will be rolled over, being charged to tax only if and when the replacement assets are sold.

 

Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates which are expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws which have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis.

1.12
Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.13
Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Leases
As lessee

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

1.15
Foreign exchange

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

Depreciation

Tangible assets are depreciated over their useful economic lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of tangible assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In reassessing asset lives, all relevant known factors are taken into account but there is inherent uncertainty in making this assessment.

 

During the year, a depreciation charge of £707,641 (2024: £460,080) was calculated based on accounting policies applied.

 

Refer to note 11, showing the tangible fixed assets carrying values impacted by the key accounting estimate.

Freehold property

Tangible fixed assets includes freehold property that is recognised at fair value. The freehold property is professionally valued periodically. In the interim the directors assess the fair value of the freehold property using publicly accessible average land value data and similar buildings in the local area to consider whether there has been a change in value.

 

During the year, no fair value adjustment has been processed (2024: £9,908,792).

 

Refer to note 11, showing the tangible fixed assets carrying values impacted by the key accounting estimate.

Recoverability of group and related debts

Group and related company debtors are recognised to the extent they are judged recoverable. Management reviews are performed to estimate the level of provision required for irrecoverable debt. Provisions are made specifically against invoices where recoverability is uncertain.

 

During the year, a full provision of £1,745,052 for non-recovery of group company debts has been recognised.

 

Refer to note 14 showing the amounts owed by group undertakings balance impacted by the key estimate.

Prior period adjustment

Reclassification of long term other borrowings

 

During the year, it was identified that the company does not hold formal agreements for certain related party and group loans previously classified as long-term. As a result, these balances have been reclassified as amounts falling due within one year, including related party creditors of £174,349 and loans from fellow group undertakings of £10,877,025.

 

Following this reclassification, creditors due within one year increased to £26,391,704 (previously £15,340,330), with a corresponding reduction in creditors due after more than one year of £11,051,374. This resulted in an increase in net current liabilities from £12,397,106 to £23,448,480 as restated.

 

This reclassification has no impact on the company’s reported profit or loss or net assets for the prior year.

Deferred tax

 

During the year, it was identified that deferred tax assets arising on carried forward tax losses had not been appropriately offset against deferred tax liabilities arising on taxable temporary differences in the prior year.

 

As a result, the comparative balances have been restated to reflect the appropriate offset of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The adjustment reduced the deferred tax liability by £1,530,221. This has improved both previously reported profit and loss and net assets by £1,530,221.

The freehold property was revalued at £24,000,000 on 23rd October 2024 by D Hossack, RICS Registered, of Colliers International Property Consultants Limited as independent valuers not connected with the company on the basis of market value. The valuation conforms to International Valuation Standards and was based on recent market transactions on arm's length terms for similar properties. The directors believe this represents fair value as at 31 December 2025 and therefore no revaluation is required for 2025.

Included within bank loans and overdrafts is a bank loan of £14,450,000 (2024: £13,398,400) which is secured by way of a fixed and floating charge over all assets of the company. The prior year facility was due for repayment in October 2028 but was fully settled in June 2025, following a refinance.

 

In June 2025, the company refinanced obtaining a term loan facility of £13,700,000 and a revolving credit facility of £750,000. Interest is charged based on the aggregate of the applicable margin and SONIA daily rate. The debt is due for repayment by June 2028 with an option for two additional 12 month extension options subject to bank consent. The facilities are secured by a fixed and floating charge over all assets of the company.

Included within other loans is a loan from Orchid Leisure Limited (a fellow group company) totalling £11,867,375 (2024: £10,877,025). There are no repayment terms for this loan and therefore is deemed due on demand, though due to ongoing financial support, confirmation has been obtained that this will not be recalled for repayment within 12 months of the year end. This is reviewed annually. Interest of 2.5% per annum is charged on £500,000 (2024: £500,000) of this balance, the rest is interest free.

The deferred tax liability set out above predominately relates to future tax payable on expected property revaluation gains arising on fair value professional valuations obtained. This deferred tax liability is predominately extinguished by the offset of trading losses carried forward, as tax losses will be utilised against future taxable gains or profits. It also includes accelerated capital allowances that are expected to mature over the associated fixed assets useful economic life. Pension contributions and interest rate derivative movements will attract tax relief in the year paid.
