STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019
- 1 -

The director presents the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Principal activities
The principal activity of the company continued to be that of retail of clothing and accessories. At 31 December 2019 the retail activity is conducted in 39 retail corporate stores (2018: 39).

Since February 2017 Mango UK also started to distribute garments and accessories online through the Mango website.
Fair review of the business

During the year, turnover (a key performance indicator) increased by £3,781,460 (2018: increased by £5,982,873) from £54,836,598 to £58,618,058 and gross margin decreased to 42.72% (2018: 42.99%). See the key performance indicators section of this strategic report for an analysis of these movements.

 

The directors hope for growth in the future as well as to improve the financial results of the company. It is expected that the introduction of the online activity contributes to improve this result due to its consolidation during the next financial year.

 

The current economic conditions create uncertainty, particularly over the level of demand for the company’s products, as evidenced by poor trading in the retail sector generally. The company mitigates this risk by monitoring the business plan in order to control any possible deviation and achieve the annual sales target, by optimising logistics processes, and by supervising marketing actions in coordination with the overall strategy of the Group.

 

The inevitable culmination of Brexit process and the unknown conditions that will arise from the process of the UK leaving the European Union create uncertainty in the marketplace and of its future effects on the business. Nevertheless, the company has considered the possible scenarios and has introduced the necessary changes to mitigate the possible risks derived from Brexit.

 

There are plans to open four new stores in the UK in the next year; with this the company will continue with its business strategy and reach the objectives of growth.

 

Notwithstanding the above the directors believe that the company is in a position to successfully manage its business risks and are satisfied with the company’s strategy for continued trading in the UK.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Other than those risks noted above, the directors of the company report on the principal risks and uncertainties in the accompanying directors’ report.

The key financial highlights are set out below, further analysis of which by the directors is contained in the fair review of the business above.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019
- 2 -

The increase of the overall turnover and the gross profit are mainly explained by the growth of the online activity. It is expected that the online activity proportion, respect to the overall turnover, will continue to grow in the next years.

 

Despite the increasing sales volume, the company continues recording losses. A strategic plan has been designed and implemented to remediate the non-profitable activities.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019
- 3 -

The director presents his annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Director

The director who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements was as follows:

Miguel de la Capilla Brustenga
Results and dividends

The results for the year are set out on page 8.

No interim ordinary dividends were paid. The director does not recommend payment of a final dividend.

Qualifying third party indemnity provisions

As permitted by the Articles of Association, the Director has the benefit of an indemnity which is a qualifying third party indemnity provision as defined by Section 234 of the Companies Act 2006. The indemnity was in force throughout the last financial year and is currently in force. The MNG Group has on behalf of the director of the company purchased and maintained throughout the financial year Director' and Officer' liability insurance in respect of itself and its Director.

Financial instruments
Market risk

The company’s activities are managed within an integrated function under the control of the parent company. The company’s risk management policy requires the management of certain short-term exposures and any potential risks are managed in combination with other trading activities.

Liquidity risk

The company actively maintains a mixture of equity and short-term debt finance that is designed to ensure the company has sufficient available funds for operations and planned expansions.

 

In respect of bank balances, when necessary, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between the continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts at floating rates of interest. The company makes use of money market facilities where funds are available.

 

Trade creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts when they fall due.

Interest rate and cash flow risk

The company has both interest-bearing assets and, if required, interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-bearing assets include cash balances, which earn interest at a floating rate. The company maintains debt finance that is designed to ensure the company has sufficient available funds for operations and any planned expansion. The directors will revisit the appropriateness of this policy should the company’s operations change in size or nature.

Credit risk

The company’s principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade creditors and trade debtors. The main purpose of these instruments is to finance the company’s operations.

 

Due to the nature of the financial instruments used by the company, there is no exposure to price risk.

Disabled persons

Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the aptitudes of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment within the company continues and that the appropriate training is arranged. It is the policy of the company that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees.

Employee involvement

The company has a policy of equal opportunities and non-discrimination in all aspects of employment.

 

Employees are kept informed of matters of concern to them in a variety of ways, including newsletters circulated to stores. These communications help achieve a common awareness among employees of the financial and economic factors affecting the performance of the company.

 

The company is also committed to providing employees with opportunities to share their views and provide feedback on issues that are important to them. It is important to us that we encourage and maintain effective communication and consultation between employees and their direct supervisors. Employees are also provided with briefings by senior management on important issues such as our strategy, performance and health, safety and environmental matters.

 

The policy of the company is to consult and discuss matters with employees and resolve any problems in this manner. The company has developed good labour relations with employees and any matters have always been conducted in accordance with relevant legislation.

 

The company is committed to employment policies, which follow best practice, based on equal opportunities for all employees, irrespective of gender, race, colour, disability or marital status. The company gives full and fair consideration to applications for employment from disabled persons, having regard to their particular aptitudes and abilities. Appropriate arrangements are made for the continued employment and training, career development and promotion of disabled persons employed by the company. If members of staff become disabled the company continues employment, either in the same or an alternative position, with appropriate retraining being given if necessary.

 

The company systematically provides employees with information on matters of concern to them, consulting them or their representatives regularly, so that their views can be taken into account when making decisions that are likely to affect their interests. Employee involvement in the company is encouraged, as achieving a common awareness on the part of all employees of the financial and economic factors affecting the group plays a major role. The company encourages the involvement of employees by organising periodical meetings with them.

Future developments

The company's future prospects are dependent upon the general nature of the economy as it affects the fashion industry.

Auditor

In accordance with the Company's Articles, a resolution proposing that Alliotts be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put at a General Meeting.

Statement of director's responsibilities

The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Director's Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

 

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is satisfied that he give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to:

 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

 

The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Statement of disclosure to auditor

Each of the persons who is a director at the date of approval of this report confirms that:

 

(a) so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware, and

 

(b) the director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF MNG-MANGO U.K. LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of MNG-Mango U.K. Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2019 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

  •     give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2019 and of its loss for the year then ended;

  •     have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

  •     have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

  • the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or

  • the director has not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Other information

The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

 

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

  • the information given in the strategic report and the director's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

  • the strategic report and the director's report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report and the director's report.

 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

 

  •     adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

  •     the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

  •     certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or

  •     we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of director

As explained more fully in the director's responsibilities statement, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

 

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to him in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019
- 11 -
1
Accounting policies
Company information

MNG-Mango U.K. Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is .

1.1
Accounting convention

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.

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.

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 4 ‘Statement of Financial Position’ – Reconciliation of the opening and closing number of shares;

  • 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’ – Carrying amounts, 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 Mango MNG Holding S.A.U. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office.

1.2
Going concern

The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements though its group facilities. The current economic conditions continue to create uncertainty over the level of demand for the company’s products and the availability of the group finance for the foreseeable future. The company’s forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.true

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 12 -
1.3
Turnover

The company sells clothes and related products through its retail outlets and online through its website.

 

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT, trade discounts and refunds paid or payable in respect of returns.

 

Turnover is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products have transferred to the customer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. For retail sales this is usually at the point of sale in the retail outlet.  For online sales this is usually at the point of despatch of the products from the Mango Group warehouse.

Sales are made to retail customers with a right to return within 30 days, subject to certain conditions regarding the usage. Accumulated experience is used to estimate value of returns that will be made in respect of sales recognised on or before the accounting date.

Other operating income represents amounts for marketing contribution or similar, receivable from the parent company.

1.4
Tangible fixed assets

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

Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Depreciation is provided at annual rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Land and buildings Leasehold
10% - 33.33% straight line per annum on cost
Plant and machinery
10% - 33.33% straight line per annum on cost
Fixtures, fittings & equipment
10% - 33.33% straight line per annum on cost

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.

1.5
Impairment of fixed assets

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.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

 

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 13 -

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.6
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.7
Financial instruments

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

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.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

 

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

 

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of financial liabilities

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

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors 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.

Other financial liabilities

Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.

 

Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as being measured at fair value though profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.8
Equity instruments

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.

1.9
Taxation

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

Accounting policies

- 15 -
Current tax

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 period end date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date, where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occured at the balance sheet date.

 

A net deferred tax asset is recognised as recoverable and therefore recognised only when, on the basis of all available evidence, it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits against which to recover carried forward tax losses and from which the future reversal of underlying timing differences can be deducted.

 

Deferred tax is measured at the average rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis.

1.10
Employee benefits

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.

1.11
Retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of certain employees. Contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account in the year they are payable. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company.

1.12
Leases

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.

1.13
Foreign exchange

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting period end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting period end date. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in the profit and loss account for the period.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the director is 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.

Critical judgements

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Useful economic lives of tangible assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.

 

There are no other critical accounting judgements.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Judgement is required to determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company’s tangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability of the store in which the assets are located and the expected future plans and financial performance of the store.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

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.

Sales returns

Determining the amount of sales returns is a critical estimate in the accounts as the provision for returns of sales needs to take into account the differing rates of returns for different revenue streams such as store sales and online sales, and considering whether seasonal sales were likely to change the returns rate. The provision recognised is management's best estimate of the expected level of sales returns that relate to the accounting period at the end of the reporting.

Capital contribution

Determining the period of which income recognised from capital contributions for new stores is a critical estimate as the useful life of each store can be difficult to reliably estimate. The policy to defer this contribution over a period of 7 years is management's best estimate given the typical length of an operating lease agreement of a retail store.

The UK corporation tax rate is 19% (effective from 1 April 2017) and was reduced to 18% (effective 1 April 2020) when legislation was substantively enacted on 26 October 2015. An additional reduction to 17% was announced and substantively enacted on 6 September 2016 (effective 1 April 2020). This will reduce the company's future tax charge accordingly and been used in calculating the deferred tax asset on the company's unutilised tax losses.
