During the year the company was assigned loans totalling £31,300 (2025: £0) from Hatters HM Limited, a company of which Mr Vincent Stevenson, a director and shareholder of the company, is also director and shareholder. The loan was unsecured, interest-free and had no fixed repayment terms. Subsequent to the year end, Hatters HM Limited has entered liquidation and the loan is not expected to be recovered. The full balance of £31,300 has therefore been written off and charged to the profit and loss account in the year. The amount owed to the company at 31 January 2026 was £31,300 (2025: £0), against which full provision has been made, giving a carrying value of £0 (2025: £0).
