Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 May 2020

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

A & J Inns Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address are as below:

Registered number: 03372375

Registered office: New Hold Industrial Estate
Aberford Road
Garforth
Leeds
West Yorkshire
LS25 2HL

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern
The Directors have considered the risks and uncertainties arising from the coronavirus pandemic which began to take effect on a global scale in February 2020, and which directly impacted the company in the current reporting year as a result of the original mandatory UK lockdown which commenced 23 March 2020.

Throughout the remainder of 2020 the company continued to be affected by government-imposed lockdowns and the continuing restrictions on social distancing. The third and most recent national lockdown commenced on 5 January 2021 is now being eased in accordance with the UK Government roadmap out of lockdown, which has from 12 April 2021 allowed some of the company's venues to reopen where outdoor hospitality can be provided, and from 17 May 2021 allowed indoor hospitality to recommence, and more critically the UK is moving towards the date from which nightclub venues can reopen (June 21).

The company has had sufficient financial resource throughout the period from March 2020 to date to see it through these very difficult times. To assist the company in this respect, the company has taken advantage of all of the Governmental financial support available to it, and has been supported by its bankers, who agreed to significant capital repayment holidays as described in note 13 to the financial statements (subsequent events).

Consumers are already demonstrating a strong willingness to return to venues which provide hospitality, and the company can only now see this accelerating when indoor hospitality recommences. On the basis of such strong evidence of the return of consumer demand in the UK, and an assessment of the current financial position of the company, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore the company continues to adopt the going concern basis of preparing these financial statements.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when goods are delivered and legal title passes.

Goodwill
Goodwill is amortised over a period of 5 years.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Freehold property - 2% on cost
Leasehold improvements - 2% on cost
Improvements to property - 20% on cost
Plant and machinery - 20% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

Tangible fixed assets held for the company's own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
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.

Stocks
Stocks of consumable trading stock in the licenced public premises and storage warehouse are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Banking facilities
The company's bankers agreed on 30 September 2020 to extend the capital repayment holiday originally agreed in March 2020 for a further 6 month period as a result of the continuing impact of COVID 19 on the hospitality sector. On expiration of the capital repayment holidays the company arranged a CBILS loan which was used to (a) repay the bounce back loan and (b) provide working capital.

The company entered into a binding settlement agreement with HMRC in relation to the historic use of Employee Benefit Trust arrangements. The settlement figure agreed is £113,347 and this has been recognised as a liability at the financial reporting date (and prior year financial reporting date - see note 5). The terms of the settlement arrangement are such that payment is by instalments over a period of 10 years.

Settlement of legal claims
The company entered into binding settlement agreements in respect of legal claims which arose prior to the financial reporting date. Provision for damages and legal costs in relation to these settled claims has been provided for in the sum of £102,921.
