STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 MARCH 2020

Introduction
 
In accordance with section 414c (11) of the Companies Act, included in the Strategic Report is the review
of the business, principal risks and uncertainties and key performance indicators. This information would 
have been required by schedule 7 of the "Large and Medium sized Companies and Group (Accounts and 
Reports) Regulation 2008" to be contained in the Directors' Report.

Business review
 
This business review covers the wider Aubaine group, of which Bravespirit is the main trading company. This period we had a steady performance despite the challenging market conditions in the UK. Our optimization plan started giving positive results, strengthening the business position within the wider market. In the past twelve months we continued our heavy investment in branding, Social Media, digital marketing, menu development, team training, tight operational controls, and out of restaurant sales have galvanized the business, with guest reviews scores increasing across the estate. Although challenging market conditions look likely to continue, the company remains committed to profitable growth. 
Performance for the group this year had been "mixed", with good growth in few restaurants and less positive in others. 
The group, headed by our parent entity Aubaine Limited, now operates seven restaurants and a deli in central London; including Brompton Road, Selfridges, Marylebone, Notting Hill, Kensington High Street, and Covent Garden. 
The wider group continues to demonstrate that there is an increasing demand for All day modern French offering that deliver on quality food, drink and ambiance. With customers increasingly busy schedules and demand for convenience and customization, it’s no surprise that all-day dining is growing in popularity. Our restaurants are expanding their menu offerings beyond traditional dayparts to take advantage of new habits and trends.
 We will continue to invest in our existing Restaurants and Bakery to ensure our offer remains relevant and differentiated in this competitive and fragmented market

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 MARCH 2020

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
Given the nature of the company's business, the principal business risks relate to the following:
   
Supply chain pressures
Current economic change
Qualified staff shortage
Digital & Social Media reach
Utilities price volatility
Covid 19 Restrictions
 
Various factors above are linked to Brexit and COVID19 Pandemic, the full impact of which is yet to be seen, although the initial indications are that it is not necessarily beneficial to the sector. For example trading decline, supplier pricing , recruitment and retention of workers and the influence of uncertainty depressing consumer spending are all increasing demands on resources across the casual dining industry.
The above risks are partly mitigated by the following key measures:
 
Continuous supply chain improvement through discerning sourcing and skilled negotiation with suppliers and the favourable effect if economies of scale across the group
Continuous focus on delivering an enjoyable experience to our customers at excellent value for money
Competitive reward structures alongside a comprehensive training and development programme
State of the art Digital and Social Media platforms
Implementing new technologies that improve both operational efficiencies and guests experience
Covid secured Environment (restaurant set up, staff training, PPE etc)
 

Key performance indicators
 
The directors consider the key indications of the performance of the company to be turnover, gross profit
percentage and EBITDA (earnings from restaurant operations before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation
and new restaurant pre-opening costs).

Financial Risk Management
The financial requirements and associates risks of the business are regularly reviewed by the directors. The group does not use complicated financial instruments or trade in financial instruments. The operations of the group are mainly financed through shareholder equity, shareholder loans and bank facilities

Liquidity Risk
The group seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet forseeable needs. Primarily this is achieved through close management control of working capital and utilisation of
a bank overdraft facility of £450,000.

Post balance sheet events

The Company continues to monitor the effects of COVID-19 outbreak which has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The outbreak has not only prompted widespread health concerns, but has caused recent deteriorations in global market conditions. The eventual outcome is highly uncertain and is largely dependent on how successful authorities are at containing and managing the outbreak. 
 
The Board of Directors considers the emergence of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic to be a non-adjusting post balance sheet event and hence any future impact is likely to be in connection with the assessment of the fair value of assets and liabilities affected, in future periods investments at future valuation dates. 
 
There are no other significant subsequent events that need to be disclosed or reflected in the annual accounts.

Auditors

The auditorsWellerswill be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

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.

Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 4, the directors are 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 directors determine 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 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.


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.

2.2

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A;

2.3

Going concern

The company made a profit for the year of £2,161,284 (2019: loss of £3,440,913) and has net liabilities of £12,062,058 (2019: £14,223,342) as at the period end. The company relies on a loan from its immediate parent company, Aubaine Limited, to fund its permanent capital requirements. The directors have received an undertaking from Aubaine Limited that it will not call for repayment of this loan made at the balance sheet date and will provide any financial assistance to support the business and its plans for future growth for a period of a least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

Aubaine Limited is reliant on its shareholders loans for its permanent capital requirements. The directors have received an undertaking from the shareholders of Aubaine that they will not call for repayment of loans made at the balance sheet date and will provide any necessary financial assistance to support the business and its plans for the future for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

On the basis of the above, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

 
2.4

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

 
2.5

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.6

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 MARCH 2020

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.7

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss 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.

 
2.8

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

 
2.9

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company contributes into 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 profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.10

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

 
2.11

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis to the Statement of income and retained earnings over its useful economic life.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

 
2.12

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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 MARCH 2020

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.12
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Long-term leasehold property
-
Straight line over the unexpired lease term
Plant and machinery
-
20 - 33
Fixtures and fittings
-
20 - 33
Office equipment
-
20 - 33
Computer equipment
-
20 - 33

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 profit or loss.

 
2.13

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

Investments in unlisted Company shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment.

Investments in listed company shares are remeasured to market value at each Balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss for the period.

 
2.14

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first outbasis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 
2.15

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.16

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.

 
Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.


Corporate voluntary arrangement

The company entered a company voluntary arrangement on the 18th November 2020 to enable the company to continue trading. 

 
2.17

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the Statement of Financial
Position date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature
of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. On this background, the
directors consider there to be judgments applied only on depreciation policy of the fixed assets and the
depreciation rates are based upon the expected useful life of the assets. There are no other judgments in
any other accounting policies that might have a material effect on the balances held at the Statement of
Financial Position date.


4.


Turnover

The whole of the turnover is attributable to the sale of food, beverages and sundry items which fall within the company's ordinary activities.

Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability with regards to the lease dilapidation provisions have been considered in detail, however a reliable estimate has not been arrived at nor adjusted in the accounts. Due to the nature of the lease works the directors do not expect these to represent significant costs to the company.

Pension commitments

The Company contributes into a defined contributions pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company to the fund and amounted to £53,721 (2019 - £45,208). Contributions totalling £8,934 (2019 - £7,166) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date.
