Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period from 1 May 2025 to 30 June 2026

General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital incorporated in England. The registered office address is as shown on page 1.

The principal place of business is:

Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A Small Entities and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are presented in pound sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest pound.

Disclosure of long or short period

The previous accounting period represented the 12 month period from 1 May 2024 to 30 April 2025. For the current period, the accounting period was lengthened to represent the 14 month period to 30 June 2026 to align it with its parent undertaking's accounting reference period. Therefore, comparative amounts presented within these financial statements, including the related notes, are not entirely comparable.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Turnover

Turnover represents income, net of value added tax, from providing golf facilities and sale of food and drinks to customers.

Tax

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

Metro Driving Ranges Limited

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period from 1 May 2025 to 30 June 2026

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all significant timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that the recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against suitable future taxable profits.

Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Goodwill

Purchased goodwill is capitalised, classified as an asset on the balance sheet and amortised on a straight line basis evenly over its useful economic life. It is reviewed for impairment at the end of the first full financial year following the acquisition and in other periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Amortisation

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, on a straight line basis over their useful life as follows:

Asset

Asset life

Goodwill on purchase of business

5 years

Business name

5 years

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on tangible assets so as to write off the cost of assets on a straight line basis evenly over their expected useful economic lives as follows:

Asset

Asset life

Long leasehold land and buildings

55 - 62 years

Machinery, equipment, fixtures and fittings

4-5 years

Motor vehicle

5 years

Financial instruments

Financial liabilities and equity are classified according to the substance of the financial instrument's contractual obligations, rather than its legal form.

The company's cash at bank and in hand, trade and other debtors, trade and other creditors are measured initially at transaction price, and subsequently amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Cash at bank and in hand

This comprises cash at bank and deposits repayable on demand.

 

Metro Driving Ranges Limited

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period from 1 May 2025 to 30 June 2026

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for facilities, goods and services provided in the ordinary course of business.

A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Operating leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Dividends

Final dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid.

Pension costs

Contribution to the company's defined contribution pension scheme, being the Workplace Pension contributions, are charged to profit or loss in the year they are payable. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independent administered fund.

3

Employee information

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors and company secretary) during the period, was 14 (2025 - 15).
