Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
J & B Hospitality Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in Scotland, registered number SC719806 . The registered office is 10 Beckram Terrace, Aberdeen, AB15 8LW.
The presentation currency of the financial statement is Pound Sterling (£).
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. For the year ended 31 January 2026 the company made a loss of £47,705 and at that date had net current liabilities of £87,647 and net liabilities of £84,430.
The directors have assessed the company's ability to continue in operation for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. They expect that action taken to reduce costs and improve trading will return the company to profitability. They have also confirmed that they will continue to support the company and will not seek repayment of amounts owed to them until the company is able to make such repayments. The directors have further confirmed that no further advances will be made to directors from the company until its financial position allows.
The company depends on the achievement of its forecasts and on the continued support of its directors and creditors, including HMRC. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The company may therefore be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the company were unable to continue as a going concern.
2.3. Significant judgements and estimations
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.
2.4. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an 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 the asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. 
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Plant & Machinery 25% on cost
Fixtures & Fittings 25% on cost
Page 4
Page 5
2.6. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to profit and loss account as incurred.
2.7. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Work-in-progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses.
2.8. Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are measured at transaction price including transaction costs.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to cash flows from the asset expire or are settled or when the company transfers the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors and bank loans payable within one year are not amortised and is recognised at transaction price. 
Debt instruments are initially recognised at transaction price plus transaction cost and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations are discharged.
Equity instruments 
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. 
2.9. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and 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 end of the reporting period.
2.10. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
3. Average Number of Employees
Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was: 23 (2025: 23)
