Chairman Robert Peel said 'Our challenge is to control our overall costs of doing business in line with modest overall turnover growth. Revpar growth is key to increasing our profits and we have made solid progress in this area albeit at the expense of volume. It is difficult to be certain post Brexit but a low pound certainly should encourage incoming volume as well as serving as an incentive for British residents to spend more of their leisure time at home. Net debt continues to fall with the consequential reduction of finance costs on an ongoing basis. We look forward to another year of progress.'

Hotel gross profit before depreciation and Group administration increased 2.7% to £1,771,160 (2015: £1,724,721). Over the same period EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax and depreciation) increased 4.2% to £1,394,871 (2015: £1,338,073) and operating profit increased 9.1% to £880,119 (2015: £806,605)

Administration expenses decreased 2.7% and depreciation decreased 3.2% to £514,752.

Financial charges decreased by 7.1% to £287,312

Corporation tax has been provided at an effective rate of 20%. Basic earnings per share were 3.4p compared with 2.8p in the comparative period on a weighted average of 14,012,123 (14,012,123) shares in issue.

Finance

 

On 14 August 2016 net debt stood at £9,402,002 representing loans totalling £9,990,747 less £588,745 cash at bank. Gearing on Shareholders' funds was 39.2% with interest covered 3.1 times. Net debt decreased by £732,854 compared with the previous year end.

The balance of the Company's loan currently £8,557,422 becomes due on 31 August 2017 and we will begin the process of negotiating a suitable long term solution over the coming months.

Capital expenditure

 

We spent £421,216 in the period (2015: £387,522), mainly on the restructuring of certain bedrooms at the Crown & Mitre Hotel in Carlisle and on the completion of Bistro George at the George Hotel in Wallingford. We plan to spend a total of £700,000 in this Financial Year on our continuing strategy of improving the standards offered in our portfolio of hotels and maintaining the fabric of our buildings. This sum is in addition to a significant sum expensed to the Income Statement.

The Future

 

Our challenge is to control our overall costs of doing business in line with modest overall turnover growth. Revpar growth is key to increasing our profits and we have made solid progress in this area albeit at the expense of volume. It is difficult to be certain post Brexit but a low pound certainly should encourage incoming volume as well as serving as an incentive for British residents to spend more of their leisure time at home. Net debt continues to fall with the consequential reduction of finance costs on an ongoing basis. We look forward to another year of progress.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM RESULTS

for the period ended 14 August 2016

 

1. Basis of accounting

The interim financial information has been prepared on the basis of the recognition and measurement requirements of adopted IFRSs as at 14 August 2016 that are effective (or available for early adoption) at 29 January 2017. Based on these adopted IFRSs, the Directors have applied the accounting policies, which they expect to apply when the annual IFRS financial statements are prepared for the year ending 29 January 2017.

 

The group has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 (Interim Financial Statements) in preparing these interim financial statements and therefore the interim financial information is not in full compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

 

The financial information set out in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in sections 434 and 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The figures for the year ended 31 January 2016 have been extracted from the statutory financial statements which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) and 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The group's accounting policies remain as stated in the group's full annual accounts for the year ended 31 January 2016.

 

2. Taxation

Tax has been provided at a rate of 20% which represents the expected effective rate for the full year.

 

3. Earnings per share

Earnings per share are based on the profit after taxation and on the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.
