GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 |
The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2020. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Credit risk |
The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its corporate trade debtors. Credit risk is managed by running credit checks on new and existing customers and by closely controlling payments against contractual agreements. Significant income is also generated from individual guests and private events. In these cases deposits are taken in advance and payment made without extending credit. |
Commodity pricing risk |
The Group is exposed to the risk of variations in pricing of energy, laundry and food and beverage products. Where appropriate the group enters into forward contracts and fixed pricing with suppliers to manage this risk. |
Cash flow |
The Group monitors cash flow as an important part of its day-to-day control procedures. The board considers cash flow projections on a monthly basis and ensures that appropriate facilities are available to be utilised for both working capital and capital expenditure needs. |
Market risk |
Chartridge Venues Group is pursuing a strategy of spreading its customer base across a broad spectrum of clients, both corporate and private in order to manage any risk of exposure to dominant clients or business sectors |
FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
The directors consider the following to be the key performance indicators of the Group: |
2020 | 2019 | Variance |
Revenue | £852,533 | £4,187,331 | (80%) |
Operating Loss | (£3,696,961) | (£3,018,965) | (22%) |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
VYNETT LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07354439) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2020. |
DIVIDENDS |
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 December 2020. |
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2020 to the date of this report. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 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 directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and 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 the group 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 directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Bradshaw Johnson, 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 |
VYNETT LIMITED |
Qualified opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Vynett Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, 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 possible side effects of the matter described in the Basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements: |
- give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent Company's affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of the Group's loss for the year 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 |
With respect to cash and credit card catering and bar income for the year ended 31 December 2020, owing to the nature of the Group's records, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the completeness, existence and accuracy of this revenue. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment was necessary. |
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. |
Material uncertainty relating to going concern |
In forming our opinion on the financial statements, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in note 2 in the financial statements concerning the group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Group incurred a net loss of £3,735,520 during the year ended 31 December 2020 and, at that date, the group's total liabilities exceeded its total assets by £4,758,476 and it has net current liabilities of £15,005,732. |
These conditions indicate that financial support from the ultimate owner is required to enable the Group to continue trading. In addition, as the result of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the impact this has had on the UK hospitality sector, significant uncertainty over the continued viability of the trading operations of the business exist. |
As stated in note 2, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter, and the circumstances noted above upon which the financial statements have been qualified do not impact on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, 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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
VYNETT LIMITED |
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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors 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 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. |
Arising solely from the limitation on the scope of our work relating to Catering and Bar revenue, described above: |
- we have not obtained all the audit information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and |
- we do not consider that adequate accounting records have been kept. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- 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 directors' remuneration specified by law are not made. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, the directors are 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 directors determine 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 directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent 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 directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
VYNETT 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: |
We considered the nature of the Company's industry and its control environment, and reviewed the Company's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities. |
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the Company operates in, and identified the key laws and regulations that: |
- had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. These included the UK Companies Act and tax legislation; and |
- do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. |
We discussed among the audit engagement team including relevant internal specialists such as tax specialists regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements. |
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following: |
- reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements; |
- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; |
- enquiring of management and external legal counsel concerning actual and potential litigation and claims, and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and |
- reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance, reviewing internal audit reports and reviewing correspondence with HMRC. |
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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |

Vynett Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the Group will continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Group incurred a net loss of £3,735,520 during the year ended 31 December 2020 and, at that date, the Group's total liabilities exceeded its total assets by £4,758,476 and it has net current liabilities of £15,005,732. |
These conditions indicate that financial support from the ultimate owner, Mohd Muda, is required to enable the Group to continue trading. It has been confirmed that continued support for the Group will be provided for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements through Zetro Services Sdn Bhd a Malaysian entity owned and controlled by Mohd Muda. |
The Directors are of the opinion that with the continued support of their ultimate owner and controlling party, the Group can meet its liabilities as they fall due. |
In addition to the above considerations around the availability of suitable financing arrangements, as the result of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the impact this has had on the UK hospitality sector, significant uncertainty over the continued viability of the trading operations of the business exist. |
There can be no certainty in relation to these matters. However, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to continue as a going concern. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
