GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 26 MARCH 2022
The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 26 March 2022.
The Covid lockdowns took place just before the start of the 2021 financial year and restrictions continued in one form or another in all our UK and European units throughout the 2 year period ended March 2022.
The board immediately took action to reduce the cost base across all expenditure lines recognising that preservation of liquidity was of paramount importance to survive until business recovered. The group took advantage of the Government Furlough schemes and their equivalents in each of our core Cities of London, Edinburgh, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Barcelona and Bruges. It was always a challenging task to reduce the cost base whilst preserving key skills and personnel within the group both in the UK and Europe, but trade in the first 6 months of the financial year to March 2023 has vindicated our approach. The board is grateful to our sole UK bankers HSBC for granting significant lines of credit including a Recovery Loan Scheme Government backed loan to replace the CBILS loan whilst reducing covenants which gave flexibility to manage resources effectively. We acknowledge the support of our landlords and suppliers who extended terms during the financial year. All are now up to date. Our staff and colleagues have been magnificent and we pay tribute to their flexibility and unfailing commitment during what has been a difficult time for everyone. We start the new financial year with accrued losses for the two years of restricted trade, but pent up demand and the lifting of travel restrictions has ensured a very quick recovery, with the first 6 months to September 2022 far exceeding our forecasts in both revenue and EBITDA. The economic climate in the UK and Europe remains uncertain, with cost pressures mounting and household budgets under strain. Nevertheless, our predominately young clientele still want to experience European travel and we are confident that our business model remains relevant and desirable offering a pan- European experience based on our cornerstones of Safe, Secure, Value and Fun.
The Beds & Bars group has operated in the hospitality industry for 60 years.
The Covid 19 pandemic forced us to close or curtail our business in all our units often for extended periods throughout the year ended March 2022. That risk has receded with the advent of reliable and effective vaccination programmes, but future risk cannot be discounted. The invasion of Ukraine has had an immediate impact on energy and other input costs. The resultant inflationary pressures means that interest rates are rising in the UK, where the bulk of our borrowing is based. The major risk within our control is liquidity risk. The group used all levers to manage the outflow of funds and increase our credit lines whilst maintaining our capacity to retain key personnel and systems within the group .We have continued with our training programmes and are proud to retain IIP Platinum award for the third consecutive time, giving us twelve years at the highest possible standard. As an established player and with the strength of its branded presence and focus on the guest experience Beds and Bars is well placed to protect its unique market position.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 26 MARCH 2022
Beds and Bars has historically funded the development of its business through retained profits and bank facilities. Despite the best endeavours of the board, curtailed trading meant that combined losses of the last 2 years totalled £15.3m which were replaced with both bank and Government backed loans These loans have variable interest rates which track a mixture of UK base rate, and Euribor. Thus any rise in those rates will increase the cost of finance and therefore impact net profit and retentions. The group regularly reviews both its interest hedging and currency risk. Our relationship with HSBC as our sole UK banker remains excellent and they are regularly updated with financial performance, forecasts and KPI’s The Group has the benefit of a number of prime UK freehold properties.
The Group is exposed to short term cancellation of bookings. In mitigation management ensure that a non-refundable deposit is taken at the time of booking and encourages full payment in advance through, amongst other things, the fixing of exchange rates.
Health and Safety is at the core of our business. The Health and Safety Strategy (H&S Strategy) supports the strategic and operational management of the group and looks to go beyond the traditional role of preventing harm. The H&S Strategy commits the group to continually improve the health and safety environment for its staff and customers. The H&S Strategy is not just about achieving compliance, but will assist in realising:
• Efficient, proactive and pragmatic ways of keeping all our staff, customers, sub contractors and visitors safe. • A robust health and safety culture across the group The H&S Strategy describes in broad terms what our approach to health and safety is and what we intend to do which is closely monitored and tested unit by unit and updated on a regular basis. Data Protection. GDPR The Board believes that the group has robust data protection procedures in place. However this is an ever more complex area and the Group continually reviews and upgrades its defences against attack. In addition to its in house team the Directors engage external consultants to ensure that the group is fully compliant with relevant legislation. The Group continues to evaluate its data security policies and procedures in accordance with GDPR regulations. Key Performance Indicators The board use a number of indicators to track the performance of the company (KPIs). These include, amongst others: weekly turnover, no of beds sold per division, accommodation, food and beverage gross margins, revenues by booking channel, EBITDA performance by site and customer review data. The KPIs are reviewed on a weekly and monthly basis and compared to budget and prior years’ performance.

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the period ended 26 March 2022.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the

Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙
make judgments 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;

Beds and Bars and its Stakeholders are committed to minimising the negative impact that our actions have on the environment.

We have completed a full company wide audit that has benchmarked where we currently sit on practices across all areas above. As a result we have set new targets to achieve improvements and a group wide strategy to deliver this. We are committed to regularly reviewing this and implementing new practices to ensure we move closer to becoming carbon neutral. The main Board of Directors are committed to reviewing this plan monthly and investing in the necessary actions to ensure we minimise our impact as well as future risk.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BEDS & BARS GROUP LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Beds & Bars Group Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the period ended 26 March 2022, which comprise the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group and Company Statements of Financial Position, the Group Statement of Cash Flows, the Group and Company Statement of Changes in Equity
and the related notes, 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 Group 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.
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 Group's or the parent 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 BEDS & BARS GROUP LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙
the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙
the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

BEDS & BARS GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BEDS & BARS GROUP LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Group 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:
∙
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims:
∙
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙
Reviewing minutes of meetings and those charged with governance;
∙
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entires and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 26 MARCH 2022
Beds & Bars Group Limited ("the company") is a private company limited by shares and is registered and incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Overlord House, 1D Colet Gardens, Hammersmith, London, England, W14 9DH.
The group consists of Beds & Bars Group Limited and all of its subsidiaries. The company's and the group's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the Directors' Report.

Accounting policies
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 Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Group is not entitled to take the Qualifying Entity exemptions detailed in paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102 however the company in its individual financial statements has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions:
- The requirements of Section 4 Statement of Financial Position paragraph 4.12(a)(iv). - The requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows and Section 3 Financial statements presentation paragraph 3.17(d). - The requirements of Section 11 paragraphs 11.39 to 11.48A and Section 12 paragraphs 12.26 to 12.29A providing the equivalent disclosures required by this FRS are included in the consolidated financial statements of the group in which the entity is consolidated. - The requirement of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

Accounting policies (continued)
The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of Beds & Bars Group Limited and all of its subsidiaries (i.e. entities that the group controls through its power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefits). Subsidiaries acquired during the year are consolidated using the purchase method, except where stated below. Their results are incorporated from the date that control passes.
The company acquired 100% of the ordinary share capital of Beds & Bars Limited in a share for share exchange as part of a group reconstruction on 30 March 2017. As the business combination meets the definition of a group reconstruction, Beds & Bars Group Limited has applied merger accounting under section 19 of FRS 102 where the controlling party was the same before and after the transaction. In line with the requirement of merger accounting the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the group had always been in existence. The requirements of merger accounting state that the difference, if any, between the nominal value of the shares issued plus the fair value of any other consideration given, and the nominal value of the shares received in exchange shall be shown as a movement on other reserves in the consolidated financial statements. Any existing balances on the share premium account of the new subsidiary shall be brought in by being shown as a movement on other reserves. These movements shall be shown in the statement of changes in equity. The directors consider it is appropriate to use merger accounting to present consolidated information for the group as if the new legal structure had always existed. This will be necessary to ensure that the shareholders receive useful information about their investment on an ongoing basis, recognising that there has been no change in the substance of their investment. The directors consider that the alternative approach of acquisition accounting, with the restatement of separable assets and liabilities to fair values, the creation of goodwill and inclusion of post reorganisation results only, would not give a true and fair view of the group results and financial position. The substance of the transaction was not the acquisition of a business but a group reconstruction under which a new holding company has been established with the former controlling party of Beds & Bars Limited having the same control in the new holding company as they had previously held in Beds & Bars Limited. The directors consider that it is not practicable to quantify the effect of this departure from the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. All financial statements are made up to 26 March 2022. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the group. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Outside the requirements of merger accounting, the cost of a business combination is the fair value at the acquisition date of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. The excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill. The cost of the combination includes the estimated amount of contingent consideration that is probable and can be measured reliably, and is adjusted for changes in contingent consideration after the acquisition date.

Accounting policies (continued)
Provisional fair values recognised for business combinations in previous periods are adjusted retrospectively for final fair values determined in the 12 months following the acquisition date.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The Group is financed by HSBC. The directors have prepared a detailed business plan including cash flow projections which indicate that the group will meet the revised measurement requirements of HSBC. Having considered potential risks and the current economic environment, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and company will achieve the forecasted performance and has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The current and future financial position of the Group, its cash flows and liquidity position have been reviewed by the directors. These have been prepared with a very prudent view on the likely gradual recovery in each of the Group's operating locations and have been stress tested to ensure that cash flows and liquidity are sufficiently robust to allow the Group to continue to trade during this period. Having considered potential risks and the current economic environment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Based on the foregoing, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Accounting policies (continued)
On entering an arrangement with the group, a franchisee pays an initial setup fee. This is used to cover the group's cost in the initial setup of the franchisee on the advertising platforms, setup of a website on behalf of the franchisee, and such other initial services as the company agrees. Turnover is recognised by reference to the stage of completion when the stage of completion, costs incurred and costs to complete can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is calculated by comparing costs incurred, mainly in relation to contractual hourly staff rates and materials, as a proportion of total costs. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, turnover is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.
The group charges commission on the bookings made through the group's website within the agent relationship with the franchisee. In the event that a booking is cancelled, the group's commission element is not refundable. Therefore, commission is recognised on the date that the booking is made. The company recognises revenue in respect of management charges receivable from its associated undertakings. Turnover is recognised when the company becomes entitled to receive the revenue under the intercompany arrangement.

Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the reporting 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.

Accounting policies (continued)
The group 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 when the group 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 trade and other debtors, loans to fellow group companies, 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 financial asset is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. 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 trade and other 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Decrecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the group's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire. Equity instruments Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the fair value of proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
The cost 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.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to the income statement so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. 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 affect 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: Lease categorisation In categorising leases as finance leases or operating leases, management makes judgements as to whether significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the group as lessee, or the lessee, where the company is a lessor. 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: Impairment of assets The recoverable amount of goodwill is based on value in use which requires estimates in respect of the allocation of goodwill to cash generating units, the future cashflows and an appropriate discount rate. The key inputs to the value in use calculations are the discount rate and the future earnings growth. Following their review, the directors have determined that no impairment is necessary (2021 - nil). The carrying value of goodwill at the year end was £4,551,371 (2021 - £5,362,593).
