In 2023 the company put 23,426.67 behind the two of them.
Elegance opened on 17 December 2023, so 2023 is thirteen trading days plus the
run-up. Of that 23,426.67, 13,830.00 went out as staff loans booked directly in their own
names (1,030.00 of it credited back the same month) and 9,596.67 is their
two-thirds share of costs the ledger books to all three staff — Ikrama, Shakeel and
Azeem — without naming anyone. The loans are recoverable and still being recovered; the
shared costs are real spend and gone.

What the 2023 number is made of
Ledger accounts booked in their own names, plus their share of the three-staff
accounts. Hover any segment.
Year by year — in and out
Out 52,865.01. Back 29,209.00. Outstanding 23,656.01.
"Paid out" is everything the company advanced — cash, bank transfers, rent
paid on their behalf, tickets, the January 2026 visa loan. "Recovered" is almost entirely
commission and salary set against the loan rather than paid across.

The 2023 shared staff costs
14,395.00 booked to three staff, not to names.
These accounts carry no individual attribution in the ledger. Two of the three
narrations say so outright — "(Ikrama,Shakeel,Azeem)" and "3 staff". A per-head split is
the only defensible allocation, so two-thirds is charged to Shakeel and Azeem together.

What to watch
Five things before this number is used anywhere.
These are loans, not wages. Every dirham above sits in a Staff Loan account on the
asset side of the balance sheet — the company expects it back. At 30 June 2026
23,656.01 of the 52,865.01 advanced is still outstanding, which is
45% of everything ever paid out.
Shakeel is the exposure. Azeem has repaid 66% of what he has
taken; Shakeel 43%. Azeem's balance fell from 15,260 to
2,260 across 2025 as his 40% commission was set against it. Shakeel's barely moved and
is now at its all-time high of 13,954.04.
Recovery is bookkeeping, not cash. Almost every credit is "commission paid to…"
or "commission deducted in salary" — the loan is cleared by not paying earned commission
across. If either man leaves, that recovery mechanism stops with him and the balance has to be
collected in cash or written off.
January 2026 put the balances back up. Both accounts jump at the start of 2026 —
Azeem by 7,441.98 and Shakeel by 7,184.89 —
against a 12,510 visa expense in the 2026 P&L. Two years of recovery on Azeem was undone in
one month.
Manoj restated Azeem between two packs. The 6 May 2026 workbook carries Azeem at
8,326.89 for January to April; the June pack carries him at 9,339.89 for the same months and
9,701.97 at 30 June. Shakeel is consistent at 13,954.04 in both. This page uses the later
(June) trial balance. Worth one question to Manoj — roughly 1,013 of Azeem's balance moved
without an explanation on the face of either pack.
Basis and limits. 2023, 2024 and 2025 are transaction-level, taken from Manoj's Tally
account ledgers, and every year ties to the running balance Tally itself printed — 2023
closes at 6,400.00 Dr each, 2024 at 15,260.46 and 11,873.00, 2025 at 2,259.99 and 6,769.15.
2026 is balances only: no transaction-level staff-loan ledger for 2026 exists in the files
here, so the January–June movement is shown as one derived line, being the difference
between the 31 December 2025 closing and the 30 June 2026 trial balance. Ask Manoj for the 2026
account ledger to break that line open. The ledger headers say OMR — that is a template
artefact carried over from the Oman file; the currency is AED throughout.
