Directors' report period ended 31 December 2020

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 31 December 2020

Principal activities of the company

The principal activities of the company during the year were the provision of airport transfers, excursions, sightseeing and data processing services.

Additional information

Performance of the business Both the level of business and the year-end financial position were considered satisfactory with the increase in profitability due to the receipt of Government support from the Furlough Scheme, which was included in other income. The directors expect that the level of activity will revert to normal levels when the Furlough Scheme ceases.The retained profit for the year after taxation was £261,126 (2019: £82,879 loss).No dividend was paid during the year (2019: £nil).Principal risks and uncertaintiesThe company uses financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprising borrowings, cash and other liquid resources and various other items such as trade debtors and creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the company’s operations. The main risk arising from the company’s financial instruments is credit risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing financial risks as summarised below.Credit risk is managed by agreeing payment terms in advance and by having in place appropriate credit control procedures. Where credit risk is considered to be higher than acceptable, payment must be provided in advance. The company’s transactions are undertaken predominantly in sterling and therefore the directors do not consider that foreign currency risk is significant, although this will be kept under review. Future developmentsThe directors aim to maintain the management policies which have resulted in the company’s results for the year. The directors believe that there will be reduced levels of operations in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic but there will be a return to normal levels once the effects have reduced.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2020

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Financial Reporting Standard 101

    Turnover policy

    The Company applies the following five step model;1) Identification of a contract to provide administrative services2) Identification of performance obligations within that contract3) Determination of the transaction price as outlined within the contract for the provision of administrative services4) Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations as outlined within the contract and 5) Recognition of revenueFor each performance obligation, the company identifies whether it has been satisfied at a point in time or over time based upon an evaluation of the receipt and consumption of benefits and enforceable payment rights associated with that obligation. The Company's agreements with customers do not contain complex terms or separately identifiable performance obligations outside delivering services to customers. The performance obligation is the supply of services to the customer and therefore the transaction price relates to this performance obligation.Revenue is recognised at the point in time when the service is provided.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.Depreciation is charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows:Leasehold refurbishment - 10% straight line or life if less than 10 yearsFixtures and fittings - 10% to 33% straight line

    Other accounting policies

    Travcorp UK Limited (“the company”) is a company incorporated in the UK. The registered number is 02115531 and the registered address is 15 Grosvenor Place, London, SW1X 7HH. The company financial statements have been prepared and approved by the directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU (“Adopted IFRSs”). The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.Going concernThe Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors believe to be appropriate, notwithstanding the significant challenges posed by the current global COVID-19, for the following reasons.The Company manages its day to day and medium-term funding requirements through cash balances. These cash balances are forecast to provide sufficient liquidity to finance ordinary course of business. The global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is impacting all businesses. As a result of the pandemic, the nature of the Company’s business is such that in the next twelve months, there is expected to be an unpredictable variation in the value and timing of cash inflows. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of severe but plausible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, even in downside cases, through funding from its ultimate parent company The Travel Corporation Limited, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The severe but plausible downside scenario forecast by the directors assumes no return to normally organised tours and related services until January 2022 followed by a period of gradual return. Those forecasts are dependent on Travel Corporation Limited not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due to the group, which at 31 December 2020 amounted to £874,284 and providing additional financial support during that period. Travel Corporation Limited has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company, and that it does not intend to seek repayment of the amounts due at the balance sheet date, for the period covered by the forecasts. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so.Consequently, the directors are confident that the group will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.Use of estimates and judgementsThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.The directors do not consider there to be any significant areas of estimation uncertainty or judgement in relation to these financial statements.Foreign currencyTransactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on the retranslation of monetary items are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising on non-monetary items, carried at fair value, are included in the statement of comprehensive income, except for the differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recorded in equity. For such non-monetary items, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised directly in equity.Non-derivative financial instrumentsNon-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables.Classification of financial assetsThe classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. The three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortised cost, FVOCI and FVTPL. A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions:- it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.The company’s financial assets are in this category. These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.Trade and other receivablesTrade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.Impairment losses represent allowances for expected credit losses over the lifetime of the financial asset (ECLs). Loss allowances for trade receivables and other receivables such as amounts due to related parties are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking informationTrade and other payablesTrade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances.Employee benefitsDefined benefit plansThe company participates in a group defined benefit pension scheme, which was closed to new members from 1 May 2004 and closed to further accrual from 1 May 2011. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in separate trustee administered funds. The pension scheme is a group plan and Travcorp UK Limited is not the sponsoring entity. Consequently, the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme and obligations for contributions are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred. The net defined benefit cost of the pension scheme is therefore recognised fully by the ultimate controlling party.Defined contribution plansFrom 1 May 2004 the company participated in a group defined contribution scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in separate trust administered funds. The company also contributes to a multi-employer, defined contribution occupational pension scheme for certain employees.Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.TaxationTax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit other than in a business combination, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. ExpensesOperating lease paymentsPayments made under operating leases are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as an integral part of the total lease expense.Finance income and expensesFinancing expenses comprise interest payable and are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that takes a substantial time to be prepared for use, are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Financing income comprise interest receivable on funds invested, dividend income, and net foreign exchange gains.Interest income and interest payable is recognised in statement of comprehensive income as it accrues, using the effective interest method.Capital ManagementThe company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The company has no external debt as at 31 December 2019 and is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements; management of capital therefore focuses around its ability to generate cash from its operations.IFRS 16 ‘Leases’At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. As a lessee The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone price and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred (and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located), less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: - fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; - variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date - amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and - the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, - lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and - penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, to the extent that the right-of-use asset is reduced to nil, with any further adjustment required from the remeasurement being recorded in profit or loss.The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in 'property, plant and equipment' and lease liabilities in 'loans and borrowings' in the statement of financial position.
