SWANFIELD_LIMITED - Accounts

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.

Swanfield Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is QN House, Loughton Business Centre, 5 Langston Road, Loughton, Essex, IG10 3FL.

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, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:

- Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures;

- Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues’: Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for each category of financial instrument; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;

- Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Compensation for key management personnel.

The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Q.N Holdings Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, QN House, Unit 4 Loughton Business Centre, 5 Langston Road, Loughton, Essex, IG10 3FL, or from Companies House.

The company has had a government contract in place to provide social housing throughout the year which has provided guaranteed revenue, this has been confirmed to be in place until at least December 2023. The results for the year, and post year end, show that the company is profitable and the directors expect profitability to continue for a period of more than 12 months. Therefore the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis in these financial statements.true

Turnover is derived from hotel operations, and arose wholly in the United Kingdom. Turnover is recognised when services have been rendered. The turnover of the hotel is derived primarily from the rental of rooms, conference and banqueting, food and beverage sales. Turnover is all rendering of goods and services.

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

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The residual value of the buildings is considered to equal to the carrying value and so no depreciation is charged.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans and loans from fellow group companies, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable.

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.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme under the automatic enrolment legislation for the benefit of its employees. Contribution payable are charged to the profit and loss accounts in the period they are payable.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

Government grants, which includes those relating to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.

For CJRS grants, as this scheme involves a transfer of resources from government to the company, it meets the definition of a government grant. The scheme is designed to compensate for staff costs, so amounts received or receivable are recognised in the income statement as part of other operating income over the same period as the costs to which they relate. Government grants are accounted for under the accrual model.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

The company has adopted the revaluation model in respect of land and buildings. The fair value of the freehold property has been determined using a multiple of 2.33 applied to turnover, which the directors consider is the appropriate method to use due to the nature of the company’s operations. The method is based on a widely applied method by surveyors. The valuation is subjective due to, among other factors, the individual nature and condition of the buildings and their location. As a result the valuation is subject to a degree of uncertainty and is made on the basis of assumptions which may not prove to be accurate. The business has traded profitably during the year and the directors do not consider the value of land and buildings to be impaired.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was as follows:

The company's freehold property was revalued by the directors using a multiple of turnover, which the directors believe is appropriate. This basis is consistent with an open market valuation for a similar asset held by a group undertaking, carried out in May 2017 by a firm of Chartered Surveyors, and multiples achieved on the sale of similar assets.

All other tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost.

Land and buildings are carried at valuation. If land and buildings were measured using the cost model, the carrying amounts would have been approximately £1,369,019, being cost £1,534,773 and depreciation £165,754.

A prior year adjustment was recognised to reverse excess depreciation accounted for. Please see note 12 for reconciliation.

As the income statement has been omitted from the filing copy of the financial statements, the following information in relation to the audit report on the statutory financial statements is provided in accordance with s444(5B) of the Companies Act 2006:

The auditor's report was unqualified.

The company forms part of a cross company guarantee securing the bank borrowings of Q N Hotels Limited. At 31 December 2021 these borrowing amounted to £6,319,858 (2020: £6,590,769).

The bank has fixed and floating charges over the freehold property and other assets of the company in respect of borrowings.

As at 31 December 2021, an amount of £1,000 (2020: £1,000) was due from a connected company.

The immediate parent company is Q.N. Hotels Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales.

The results for the year ended 31 December 2021 are included in the consolidated accounts of the ultimate parent company, Q.N. (Holdings) Limited. The address of Q.N. (Holdings) Limited's registered office is QN House, Unit 4 Loughton Business Centre, 5 Langston Road, Loughton, Essex, IG10 3FL.

The prior year adjustment to depreciation is a result of the company previously charging depreciation on certain fixtures, fittings and equipment at a rate in excess of it's depreciation policy.
