The directors of the company have elected not to include a copy of the profit and loss account within the financial statements.true

These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

Boxpark Croydon Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Diplocks Yard, 73 North Road, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 1YD.

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 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

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 £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

As at the statement of financial position date the company had net liabilities however the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have considered relevant information, including the annual budget, forecast future cash flows and the impact of subsequent events in making their assessment. The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing economic shutdown has had a significant impact on the company’s operations. In March, November and December 2020, the UK government ordered nationwide lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in the closure of the company’s trading site for a significant period of time. Between the lockdown periods the company reopened and trading performance was strong across the group that it is a part of. The directors anticipate this performance to continue after the current lockdown period ends. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the directors have performed a robust analysis of forecast future cash flows taking into account the potential impact on the business of possible future scenarios arising from the impact of COVID-19. This analysis also considers the effectiveness of available measures to assist in mitigating the impact.

Despite the levels of uncertainty in the hospitality sector, the directors are confident that the strength of the group's underlying business and reserves can survive the pandemic period. The company has not charged rent and service charges to tenants who have been closed in these lockdown periods provided that their payments were up to date and has utilised the government's job retention scheme during these periods. The directors of the group have also confirmed that the group will provide support to the company over the next twelve months if required.

Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty in relation to the appropriateness of continuing to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
