STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2023
The directors present their strategic report together with the audited financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2023.
The principal activity of the Company during the period was managing the administration of the investment opportunity for our bond-holders.
The investment is provided to Golfbreaks Limited under an intra-company loan agreement to underpin investment required for new markets and an increased focus on digital improvements to the customer journey.
Whilst there are no key performance indicators relevant to the Company, the directors set and review policies for managing each of the other trading entities within the Group which are explained in detail in the Group strategic report of Golfbreaks Limited.
The Company is required to be informed six months prior to the four-year anniversary date of issuance, or any subsequent anniversary date thereafter, if any individual bond-holder wishes to redeem their bond. Otherwise, as per the terms of the bond instruments, the bond will automatically rollover on an annual basis.
For Golfbreaks Bond 1, the next notification date is 15 January 2024 for redemption in July 2024. At the period end, the liability is contractually due after more than one year and is classified as due after more than one year. Prior to the period ended 30 April 2023 and by the January 2023 deadline for the redemption of bonds in July 2023, the Company had received notice for redemptions totalling £77,000 (2022: £47,000), as a result the majority of the bond has rolled over. For Golfbreaks Bond 2, the next notification date was 16 May 2023. At the year end the liability is contractually due within 12 months as redemption is for November 2023. However, as at the signing of these financial statements, redemptions in respect of Bond 2 were known and amounted to £96,000 (2022: £47,000). £96,000 has been classified as due within one year and the rest classified as amounts owed after more than one year.
The Golfbreaks Limited group reported profit for the year of £2,933,165 (2022: 1,383,879) and has a Net Surplus in Shareholders' Funds of £443,925. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the directors have prepared sensitised forecasts for the Group and having undertaken a review of the future financing requirements for on-going operations of the Group, are satisfied that sufficient cash facilities are secured to meet its working capital requirements, which includes Golfbreaks Bonds Plc, for at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. Further details of the directors' assessment of going concern are given in note 2.3 to the financial statements.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2023
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2023.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company'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;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements and other information included in Directors' Reports may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £7,670 (2022 - £2,769).
The directors did not recommend the payment of dividend in the period (2022: £Nil).
The directors who served during the year were:

A consideration of the Company's relationship with wider stakeholders, including suppliers and customers, is disclosed in further detail in the financial statements of the parent company, Golfbreaks Limited.
There have been no significant events affecting the Company since the year end.
The auditors, White Hart Associates (London) Limited, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 489 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GOLFBREAKS BONDS PLC
We have audited the financial statements of Golfbreaks Bonds PLC (the 'Company') for the year ended 30 April 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 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 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.
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 GOLFBREAKS BONDS PLC (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 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.
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.

GOLFBREAKS BONDS PLC
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GOLFBREAKS BONDS PLC (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 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:
- We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit; - We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the deliberate override of internal control; - We obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control; - We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made; - We assess the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business; - We request and review the minutes of management meetings, and assess any matters identified not already provided for or disclosed that may materially impact the financial statements; - We conclude on the appropriateness of the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. if we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The directors have assessed the going concern basis of the preparation of the financial statements at a Group level. The Golfbreaks Limited Group reported profits for the period of £2,933,165 (2022: £1,383,879) and has a Net Surplus in Shareholders’ Funds of £443,925. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the directors have prepared sensitised forecasts for the Group and having undertaken a review of the future financing requirements for on-going operations of the Group, are satisfied that sufficient cash facilities are secured to meet its working capital requirements, which includes Golfbreaks Bonds Plc, for at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements.
Bond Redemption At 30 April 2023 the group has net current liabilities of £853,476 excluding bond redemption repayments of £173,000 due in the next 12 months from the balance sheet date. As part of their review, the directors have made certain estimates about the redemption of bond 1. The next potential notification date for bond 1 holders to request redemption of bonds is in January 2024, for redemption in July 2024. The directors have used an anticipated redemption rate based on the historic redemption experience of bond 1, since the first redemption window in January 2018, when forecasting. In the event of a 100% redemption requirement in July 2024 in respect of bond 1, the Group will still have sufficient headroom to meet its working capital requirements over the next 12 months. The next potential notification date for bond 2 holders to request redemption of bonds is in May 2024, for redemption in November 2024. Recovery Post Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic and Cost of Living Crisis The uncertainty as to the rate of recovery of the Group from the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential impact of the cost of living crisis on the recovery has also been considered as part of the Group's adoption of the going concern basis. Downside sensitivities were applied to the base case cashflow model to understand the potential impact of further deferred bookings or refunds, based on extended trading restrictions, future prospects, performance and an assessment of the economic environment. The parent company directors continue to responsibly manage cash reserves and take the required commercially reasonable steps (including, options to pursue further financing) to mitigate any downside scenarios and ensure sufficient funds are available to satisfy anticipated bond redemptions over the 12 month period following the signing of these financial statements. For this reason, the directors of Golfbreaks Bonds Plc continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
