Chairman's statement
I am pleased to be reporting on the Group's profitable results of some £1,276,000 (2010 - £244,000). The results are for the 52 week period ended 1 January 2012 and a comparative of the 53 week period ended 2 January 2011. During the year a new Wildwood restaurant was opened, and two Café Pasta restaurants and a Chez Gerard restaurant were acquired. The Group now has eighteen restaurants in operation - 6 DimTs, 9 Wildwoods and 3 others.
Results
Revenue for the year was up 38% on last year to £14,565,000 (2010 - £10,560,000). On a like-for-like basis sales increased by 10%; made up of 5.5% at DimT and 16.7% at Wildwood.
Operating profit before pre-opening costs and non-trading items was £1,164,000 (2010 - £528,000). Pre-opening costs for the period totalled £110,000 (2010 - £294,000). The overall statutory pre-tax profit was £1,066,000 (2010 - £244,000).
The Board does not recommend the payment of a dividend at this stage of the Group's development.
Openings
A new Wildwood restaurant was opened at Canary Wharf in July: and two Café Pasta restaurants were acquired at Shaftesbury Avenue and Stratford-upon-Avon in November; and a Chez Gerard site at Cambridge was purchased in December.
Since the year end we have successfully opened 2 Wildwood restaurants in Epping and Cambridge. Market Harborough is due to open in April 2012 with a number of others already in the pipeline, at various stages of completion and negotiation.
Cash flows
Net cash outflow for the period before financing was £911,000 (2010 - £831,000). This is largely represented by capital expenditure on the expansion of the business through the opening and acquisition of the above sites. Cash flows from operating activities increased to £1,742,000 (2010 - £1,217,000). During the period £nil (2010 - £1,900,000) was raised from a share issue. Net cash and cash equivalents held at the end of the year were £2,008,000 (2010 - £2,919,000).
Review of the business
2011 has proved to be a year of expansion. The Group continually looks to update its menus and for much of the year has successfully offered promotions to encourage growth in sales.
Management have continued to focus on food and labour margins and these continue to be kept under constant review. This has resulted in a considerable improvement in the trading position of the Group despite the continuing challenging economic climate in the United Kingdom.
Pre-opening costs have been highlighted in the income statement as these costs represent revenue expenses, including rent free periods, which give rise to a charge under technical accounting rules, which are necessarily incurred in the period prior to a new unit being opened, but which are specific to the opening of that unit and not part of the Group's normal ongoing trading performance.
Staff
As ever, it is our dedicated staff that have contributed significantly throughout the year to the Group's much improved performance, and I would like to take this opportunity of thanking them for their hard work and effort.
Current Trading
Since the year end trading has been in line with expectations.
AGM
The Company's annual general meeting will take place on 24 May 2012.

4. | Acquisition |
In November 2011, the Group entered into an agreement to purchase two leasehold sites from Café Pasta for cash consideration of £640,000 plus the value of inventory.
In December 2012, the Group entered into an agreement to purchase the leasehold site at Cambridge from Chez Gerard for cash consideration of £400,000, plus the value of inventory.
The Group also took on the previous employees in both situations. The assets acquired continued to trade in their existing state. The rationale for the acquisition was to ultimately expand the Wildwood brand into locations the Group felt it could achieve a return.
These transactions have been treated as a business combination under IFRS 3 (revised). The table below sets out the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, as well as the consideration and consequent goodwill.
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The result for the financial period includes revenue of £213,000 and profit of £1,000, which has arisen from the acquired leases in the period post acquisition.
It has not been possible to calculate the revenue and profit that would have resulted had the acquisitions been completed on the first day of the accounting period due to the limited information available about these sites. The rationale for the acquisitions was to continue the expansion of the Group's brands into new locations.
In the prior period on 7 October 2011 the Group entered into an agreement to purchase 2 leasehold sites from Caffe Uno Brasseries Limited for cash consideration of £450,000 plus the value of inventory. The group also took on the previous employees. The assets acquired continued to trade in their existing state initially, before closing for refurbishment and rebranding. The rationale for the acquisition was to expand the Wildwood brand into locations the Group felt it could achieve a return.
As a result the Group recognised goodwill of £50,000.
