NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
BXTR Ltd (company number SC469497), is a private company limited by shares and is incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is House Of Gods, 233 Cowgate, Edinburgh, EH1 1JQ.
The principal activity of the company continued to be that of hotel and hostel operations.
2.Accounting policies

Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
In order to align cost of sales and administrative expenses with current year allocation (which management considers is a more appropriate guide to performance) a transfer of £573,543 has resulted in an increase to cost of sales and a decrease to administrative expenses in the prior year. The overall does not impact upon the results for the prior financial year.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
In the year ended 31 January 2026 the business had net current liabilities of £4,623,677 and net liabilities of £3,293,745, with a loss in the year of £960,108.
The company is in the business of hotel and hostel operations, supported by the wider group, and ultimately external organisation financing.
The directors have undertaken a detailed assessment of the company’s financial position, including an analysis of cash flow forecasts based on future trading and support from the wider group as the company is supported by an intercompany balance of £7,093,835 from BXTR Services Limited. Following the completion of a post year end fixed asset sale within the wider group, the directors have considered the availability of resources for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements at the BXTR Services Limited group level and the ability of that company to provide support to the group’s subsidiary entities. With external financing in place at a group level; cash received post year end from the sale of a group asset; further expected sale of fixed assets in the coming months to align the Group’s core strategy; and historic recent and anticipated future trading which is cash generative; it has been determined that BXTR Services Limited is able to provide financial assistance to the group’s subsidiary entities on the basis of future group profitability and cash generation. Thus, with a letter of support from BXTR Services Limited, and positive post year end trading, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, the directors consider that the use of the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements is appropriate. However, the current economic climate gives the potential for a shortfall in trading revenues and together with the uncertainty on the further asset sale, this creates a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the group and this company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
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.
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Short term employee benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
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 tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred
tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing
difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a
transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to
the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part
of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in
the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in
the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in
which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset
when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the
deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Impairment of fixed assets and goodwill
|
Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are assessed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication that the assets are impaired. Where there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit to which the asset has been allocated) is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's (or CGU's) fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGUs). Non-financial assets that have been previously impaired are reviewed at each balance sheet date to assess whether there is any indication that the impairment losses recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the Statement of Financial Position date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following judgements and estimates have had the most significant effects on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Assessing impairment for tangible fixed assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Management consider each period whether there is any indication of impairment in relation to fixed assets. No such indicators have been identified in the current or prior period. There is no requirement to perform a full impairment review unless such indicators exist.
Critical accounting judgements in applying the company’s accounting policies
In the opinion of the directors there are no other critical accounting judgements made in applying the company’s accounting policies that require disclosure in the financial statements.
Key source of estimation uncertainty
In the opinion of the directors there are no other key sources of estimation uncertainty that require disclosure in the financial statements.

In their report, the auditors emphasised the following matter without qualifying their report:
We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company is reliant upon financial support from its ultimate parent undertaking (BXTR Services Limited), and future profit and cash generation from trading. As stated in note 2.2 these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
