STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

Introduction
 
The directors present their Strategic Report on the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Business review
 
The Company achieved gross transactional turnover of £46.36 million in the year, 3% lower than previous year. Although the gross profit margin on transactional turnover increase by 12%, mainly due to the extraordinarily strong relationships with our suppliers, some direct costs increased more than turnover: advertising increased by 26%; merchant fees increased by 31% and salaries increased by 3%.  This resulted in an overall decrease of margin from 11% to 6.5%.
 
The main reasons for these variations were our entry into the USA market as well as an increased presence on the UK Travel Zoo platform.  
Subsequent to the change in PTRs in July 2018, there was a shift from agency bookings to Tour Operator activity, resulting in an increase in accounting Turnover.
In 2019 we noticed a significant reduction in fraudulent sickness claims due to the effective, collaborative efforts of the Travel Industry.  This resulted in a reduction in legal costs of £150K (80% of previous costs). The indicators are that fraudulent claims will cease to an insignificant level in 2020.  
There was some extraordinary expenditure in the year that impacted our profitability, but these investments are for the future benefit of the company.  For example, ongoing website development costs that are critical for the business (and which will continue to be expended in 2020). 
The Company’s short-term strategy is one of consolidation and cost saving and in 2020 we will continue with our strategy which is to increase our margins by reviewing and adjusting direct costs. 

Geo-political events and natural disasters
The nature of our business means that we continually face the risk of geo-political events or natural disasters. It is for this reason we continue to operate with a flexible business model to minimise reliance on any one destination.  COVID-19 is proof that this has been the correct strategy, historically and in the future. 
Commercial relationships
The management team meets regularly with current suppliers to maintain good working relationships, whilst simultaneously developing new routes to market. 
Information technology
Creating unique package holidays remains our principal USP. Improving Customer Service and maintaining customer loyalty is an important part of our strategy.
Flexibility in destinations is key to protect our business from the vagaries of geo-political events, natural disasters and adverse weather conditions worldwide.

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

Covid-19
 
All indicators are that any meaningful return to normal from the disastrous impact of COVID-19 will not happen until Q2 2021.  But, we believe that there will be an entirely new “normal” and it is foolhardy to think that things will be the same as before COVID for a considerable time to come.  
Because COVID has impacted some 2019 bookings that subsequently cancelled in 2020, we have ensured that adequate cancellation provision has been made to take this into account.

Ongoing risks and uncertainties
 
Due to the continued uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 we closely monitor, on a daily basis, the ever-changing situation.  Rapid response is key, as proven in the recent opening and closing of travel corridors.
Our ongoing strategy will be based on fewer staff, working smarter and more efficiently; deal-led advertising rather than mass-marketing; closer alliances with key suppliers and development of direct contracts providing exclusive deals.  It is our intention to reduce turnover (and associated expenses) without reducing profitability.  i.e. The unprecedented circumstances that have compelled this streamlining should result in a positive, rather than a negative position.
Our rationale, which has always been to avoid any commitment to suppliers, will apply even more so at this unpredictable time.  We have always considered it a risk that is not necessary when you have strong supplier relationships and can negotiate favorable rates.  All of our commercial arrangements are agreed on a non-financial commitment basis, but based on solid, proven historic relationships.
We applied for, and received, a CBILS loan which is stabilising our cash-flow position.  The loan is more than sufficient to cover our anticipated deficit in 2020 due to COVID cancellations.  We have also successfully applied for all Government and Local Government reliefs.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JETLINE TRAVEL LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Jetline Travel Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2019, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of cash flows, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 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 Auditors' 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or

the directors have 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.



Following the year end, in common with many travel companies, the Company has experienced a reduction in bookings due to concern over the Coronavirus. While the effect of the Coronavirus cannot currently be predicted with any certainty, the directors have prepared forecasts taking into account their assessment of the potential reduction in sales and are confident that the company will be able to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for a period of not less than 12 months from the date these accounts are signed.




Other information


The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JETLINE TRAVEL LIMITED (CONTINUED)


in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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 statementsour 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.


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

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


the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

the Strategic report and the Directors' 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 or the Directors' report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

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

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are 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 directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JETLINE TRAVEL LIMITED (CONTINUED)


Auditors' 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 Auditors' 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: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.

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 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

1.Accounting policies

 
1.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

General Information
Jetline Travel LImited Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales, United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is given in the Company Information page of these financial statements. 
The principal activity of the Company continued to be that of travel agent and tour operator.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 2).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

  
1.2

Going concern

Following the year end, in common with many travel companies, the company has experienced a reduction in bookings due to concern over the coronavirus. While the effect of the coronavirus cannot currently be predicted with any certainty, the directors have prepared forecasts taking into account their assessment of the potential reduction in sales and are confident that the company will be able to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for a period of not less than 12 months from the date these accounts are signed

 
1.3

Revenue

Turnover represents amounts receivable for commission and similar earnings receivable in respect
of travel agency activities and gross revenue derived from tour operations carried out in a principal
activity net of VAT and trade discounts. Turnover is recognised on a booking date basis.

  
1.4

Cancellation

Provision is made for liabilities arising in respect of expected cancellations on holidays booked during the year but not yet departed and those cancelled as a result of Coronavirus

 
1.5

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

 
1.6

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to the Statement of comprehensive income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

Page 13

 
JETLINE TRAVEL LIMITED
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

1.Accounting policies (continued)

 
1.7

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they are incurred.

 
1.8

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of comprehensive income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
1.9

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Statement of financial position date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

 
1.10

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Page 14

 
JETLINE TRAVEL LIMITED
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

1.Accounting policies (continued)


1.10
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property
-
Over 30 years on buildings only
Fixtures and fittings
-
25% reducing balance
Computer equipment
-
25% reducing balance

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.

 
1.11

Revaluation of tangible fixed assets

Individual freehold and leasehold properties are carried at current year value at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the Statement of financial position date.
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers.

Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss.

 
1.12

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

 
1.13

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management.

 
1.14

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.

JETLINE TRAVEL LIMITED
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

1.Accounting policies (continued)

 
1.15

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to the Statement of comprehensive income in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of financial position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of financial position.

 
1.16

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.


2.


Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

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 recognised 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 statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Cancellation provision
In formulating a provision for the estimated value of revenue that will subsequently be canceled,
management makes judgments that are based on expected turnover variations as a result of the Coronavirus and historic cancellation data.


3.


Turnover

The total turnover of the company for the year has been derived from its principal activity wholly
undertaken in the United Kingdom.
