STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Introduction
 
The directors present the strategic report of Broadwick Entertainment Limited ("the Company") for the year ended 31 March 2023. The company is a subsidiary of Broadwick Group Limited. Broadwick Group Limited and its subsidiaries together "the Group". The trading name of the Group is "Broadwick Group".
Our Group's heritage is in music. We own and operate a portfolio of award-winning venues and entertainment brands and partner with some of the world’s most influential artists to deliver powerful programming and cultural experiences across the world.
We believe in redefining spaces and how people experience culture. By breaking down traditional barriers, we curate unique narratives, reveal distinct identities and create one of a kind experiences across all of our spaces and venues.
At the heart of Broadwick is a founding belief in the power of ‘live’ with the objective always being to inspire, connect and create massive impact through music, culture and space. With three core divisions; Entertainment, Venues, and Services. Broadwick Group design, build and operate some of the world’s most exciting venue and entertainment brands.

Business review
 
With strong financial management, support from our Group's investors and an active shareholder team leading the business we are poised to capitalise on multiple venue acquisitions, rapidly expanding our portfolio of brands whilst increasing our working capital reserves to deliver strong growth in future years.
At the reporting date, Company turnover for the period was 29,009,829 (2022 - 21,633,642) with a gross profit margin of 18.3% (2022 - 14.5%).

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
In compliance with accounting standards and best practice, we have summarised below the principal risks facing the Company:
a) Commercial risk
Systems and procedures are in place to identify, assess and mitigate major business risks that could impact the Company. Monitoring exposure to risk and uncertainty is an integral part of the Company’s structured management processes. Generally, the principal risks that the Company faces are operational risk, competition, regulatory and legislative impacts, recruitment and retention of staff and maintenance of reputation, as well as financial risk.
b) Liquidity risk
The Company seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably.

Financial key performance indicators
 
The continued success and sustainability of the Company will be determined significantly by the ability to continue to grow revenues more than its costs. Therefore the level of turnover, year on year growth and gross profit margins are key performance indicators (KPIs).
The Group’s KPIs for this period are stated above under “Business review”.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BROADWICK ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Broadwick Entertainment Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, 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 March 2023 and of its profit 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


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BROADWICK ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Other information


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


Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BROADWICK ENTERTAINMENT 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.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the entertainment sector; 
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental, health and safety and licensing laws;
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and 
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: 
 
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; 
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and 
understanding the design of the Company’s remuneration policies. 

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: 
 
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; 
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; 
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and 
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: 
 
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and 
reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the Company’s legal advisors.

BROADWICK ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BROADWICK ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED (CONTINUED)

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.


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.


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 2006Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' 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.

The group that the company is a part of was profitable in the year and the ultimate parent undertaking continues to receive financial support from its investors, has strong cash reserves and expects its profitability to continue. The directors have obtained assurance from the ultimate parent undertaking that funds will continue to be made available to the company so that it will be able to carry on trading and meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due for at least twelve months from the date the accounts are approved. Therefore the accounts have been prepared under the going concern basis.

2.4

Turnover

Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of the staging and operating live music and corporate events, and the hire of venues. The operation of these events includes ticket sales, beverage sales, sale of merchandise, sponsorship and locker hire. 
Revenue is recognised when the events are staged and it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the company. Revenue from beverage sales, locker rental and merchandise sales are recognised at point of sale. All revenue is exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.
Amounts received in advance with respect to events occurring during future periods are deferred and recognised in the period the event occurs. These amounts are shown in deferred income.

 
2.5

Foreign currency translation

The company's functional and presentational currency is £ Sterling.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 
2.6

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.

 
2.7

Leased assets: the company as lessee

Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

 
2.8

Government grants

Grants are accounted under the accruals model. Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related expenditure.

 
2.9

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.

2.10

Pensions

Broadwick Group Limited, the ultimate parent undertaking of the Group, contributes to a defined contribution plan for the Group's employees. The company reimburses Broadwick Group Limited for the pension costs of its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of comprehensive income when they fall due to the parent undertaking. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

 
2.11

Current and deferred taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss 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 reporting 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. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

 
2.12

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.

 The estimated useful lives range as follows:

Website development costs
-
3 years straight line

 
2.13

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.

At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

2.13
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on the following basis:
 
Included within plant, machinery and equipment:

Leasehold improvements
-
over the term of the lease
- Plant and machinery
-
8 years straight line
- IT Equipment
-
3 years straight line
- Assets held under finance lease
-
over the term of the lease

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.

 
2.14

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 
2.15

Basic financial instruments

The company only enters into transactions that result in basic financial instruments such as trade and other debtors, trade and other creditors, cash at bank and in hand and loans with related parties. 
Trade debtors, other debtors and loans to related parties are recognised initially at the transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade creditors, other creditors and loans from related parties are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade and other debtors, and loans to related parties.
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of accounting policies management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The directors have made the following judgments:
a) Determining whether there are indicators of impairment of Company's tangible and intangible assets. Factors taken into consideration include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the assets.
b) Determining whether leases entered into by the group as a lessee are operating or finance leases. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee on a lease by lease basis. 
The directors have made the following key estimates:
a) Intangible and tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and estimated disposal values.

Turnover

The Company has taken the exemption not to disclose the analysis of turnover by class of business where in the opinion of the directors the analysis would be seriously prejudicial to the interests of the Company.

From 1 April 2023 the rate of corporation tax will remain at 19% for companies with an annual profit of £50,000 or less, increase to 25% for companies with an annual profit of £250,000 or more, and increase to a marginal rate for companies with profits between £50,000 and £250,000. These thresholds are divided by the number of associated companies.
