Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 July 2022 |
The director presents his strategic report for the year ended 31 July 2022. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
Exultant Limited is a company registered in England and Wales and a franchisee of Pizza Hut (UK) Ltd. A store count over England of 18 locations in the course of the reporting period. The management is headed by Mizan Syed having a vast experience in the QSR sector and take away food industry. |
The company has continued to perform with in management expectations and the company continues to maintain a healthy balance of working capital to meet its liabilities. The company has managed the challenge mostly driven by the accelerated growth of third party aggregators like Deliveroo, Just Eat & Uber Eats. Pizza Hut's e-channel managed to claw back a lot of it's customers through the on line portal via Pizza Hut Digital Ventures customer ordering platform. |
Improvements in marketing, establishing a more frictionless customer journey, providing deals that offered a stronger value proposition and partnering with the third party aggregators saw sales and profit rise significantly in the second half of the trading year. |
Furthermore, the business continued to position itself for sustained long-term growth by investing in the staffing structure and providing developmental training across the company. The company is closely working with its Franchisees and has invested in new available technology e.g. Pizza Hut Digital Ventures, Pizza Hut Loyalty Scheme, Just Eat, Deliveroo and other Third Party Aggregators, Dragon Tail systems, Zonal EPOS systems and Fourth labour scheduling tools. All this new technology will help increase the customer experience, reflecting on higher top line growth, enabling more efficiencies in key cost lines and hence leading to better overall financial results. |
Post year end, the company has performed broadly in line with the Director's expectation and continues to grow despite increasing cost of sales and reducing margins. |

Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 July 2022 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The management of the business and execution of company's strategies are subject to risks, the key risks being the competition in the market place, operational risk and liquidity risk. |
The Director regards the following as the principal risks and uncertainties for the company: |
Financial risks |
The exposure to credit risk is not high as all the consumer sales are paid for by the customer at the point of order with the payment being made by the major online payment providers typically within 3 days. The rapid receipt of cash from customers also reduces the exposure to risks surrounding cash flows allowing the company to maintain sufficient cash reserves to meet its payments as they fall due. The company monitors the financial risks carefully and has strategies in place to manage these effectively. |
Competitive risks |
The fast food market is a competitive and over-crowded market, however due to a strong brand and established position in the market place Pizza Hut is able to mitigate these risks. Performance is carefully monitored across all stores via a daily review of a specific range of KPIs. |
Commercial risks |
The principal activity within the company is managing the Pizza Hut branches. The main commercial risks facing the business is ensuring the procedures and standards required by Pizza Hut are satisfied, so the customer journey is consistent across all the franchisees. The business has policies and procedures in place to ensure that on an ongoing basis its commercial risks are carefully monitored and mitigated against. The business has procedures in place to ensure its Franchise agreement is being adhered to. |

EMPLOYMENT OF DISABLED PERSONS |
The company gives full consideration to applications for employment from disabled persons where the requirements of the job can be adequately fulfilled by a disabled person. where existing employees become disabled, it is company's policy wherever practicable to provide continuing employment under normal terms and conditions and to provide training, career development and promotion to disabled employees wherever appropriate. |
EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT |
The directors consider that the involvement of employees is important to the success of the company, employees are regularly informed of the company's performance and progress at both formal and informal meetings. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The director is 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 enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |

Report of the Director |
for the Year Ended 31 July 2022 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, RA Audit Services Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Exultant Limited |
Qualified opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Exultant Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, 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). |
In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements: |
- give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 July 2022 and of its profit for the period 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 qualified opinion |
The evidence available to us was limited because we were appointed as auditors during the period and we have been unable to carry out auditing procedures necessary to obtain adequate assurance regarding the opening balances and comparative figures because the financial statements for the period ended 31 July 2021 were unaudited. Any adjustments to the opening balances would have a consequential effect on the profit for the year. |
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 Auditor's 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 UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe 1hat 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Exultant Limited |
Other information |
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors 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 statements, 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 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. |
Opinions 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 Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director 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 Report of the Director. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of director |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page five, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Exultant Limited |
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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
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. |
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: |
The client partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify and recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. |
1) We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors, key management personnel and from our commercial knowledge and experience. |
2) We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct effect on financial statements or the operations of the company including Companies Act 2006, current taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery and money laundering, food safety, employment and health and safety legislation. |
3) We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management. |
4) Identified laws and regulations were communicated with 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; |
1) Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud and |
2) Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
1) Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual and unexpected relationships, |
2) Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions, |
3) 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: |
1) Agreeing financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation. |
2) Enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims and |
3) Reviewing correspondence with HMRC, enquiring of management over health and safety. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Exultant Limited |
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identifying 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 Report of the Auditors. |
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 2006. Our 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Turnover comprises the fair value of the sale of goods to external customers, net of value added tax, and returns. Turnover is recognised on the sale of goods when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have passed to the buyer and the amount of turnover can be measured reliably. Turnover on goods delivered is recognised when the customer accepts delivery. |
Intangible assets – goodwill |
Goodwill arising on acquisitions, represents any excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, and is capitalised and written off on a straight line basis over its useful economic life, up to a maximum 10 years. In estimating the useful economic life of goodwill, account has been taken of the nature of the business acquired and the period over which the value of the business will remain in excess of its tangible assets. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at the end of the first full year following the acquisition and in other periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
Intangible assets - franchisee fees |
Franchisee fees are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, they are measured at cost less and accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Franchisee fees are being amortised over its estimated useful life of ten years. |

Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |

Financial instruments |
The company 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 in the company's balance sheet when the company 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 debtors 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 transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
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 creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, 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. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Taxation |
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks and bank overdraft. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. |
Equity instruments |
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they no longer at the discretion of the company. |

3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCER |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgments estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
Key Sources of estimation uncertainty |
The following judgements have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
Useful lives of intangible fixed assets |
Intangible fixed assets consist of goodwill and fanchisee fees. The annual amortisation charge depends on estimated useful economic life of the asset. The directors regularly review the remaining useful life of these assets. Changes in asset's useful economic life can have a significant impact on amortisation charge for the period. Detail of the useful economic life is included in accounting policies. |
Useful lives of tangible fixed assets |
The costs of tangible fixed assets less their residual value are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives which are estimated by the director. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact on the useful economic lives of these assets; therefore, further depreciation charges could be revised. |
4. | TURNOVER |
The turnover and profit before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the company. |
