STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
We aim to present a balanced and comprehensive review of the performance and development of the business during and at the end of the year, consistent with its size and complexity; and in the context of risks and uncertainties that we face.
DHP achieved a turnover of £33.98 million and a profit before tax of £2.97 million, reflecting a robust performance despite the inflationary pressures and economic challenges presented by the cost-of-living crisis in the UK during 2023. This financial outcome underscores the company’s resilience and the effectiveness of its strategic management in navigating a difficult economic landscape.
The business faces risks in the forthcoming years, primarily due to the competition within the late-night hospitality sector. Principal risks include regulatory compliance, which we manage through robust in-house risk management strategies to ensure the protection of our licenses across all venues.
The business experienced sustained cost pressures due to the high inflation rates in the UK throughout 2023. These pressures were particularly pronounced in the events sector, where the number of suppliers has decreased compared to pre-pandemic levels, despite a high demand for festivals. This reduction in supplier availability has exacerbated cost challenges, as the limited supply chain options have led to increased prices for essential goods and services required for event operations. Consequently, the business has had to navigate these financial constraints while maintaining the quality and scale of its offerings.
Turnover was up in 2023 by £3.3 million, driven in part by extra gig and festival sales. Cash balances were £9.89 million at the end of 2023. Cost of sales as % of turnover has risen 1.7%, highlighting the inflation pressure on cost lines.
During the year we managed to increase turnover to offset the rise of staffing costs, with wages versus revenue percentage staying the same.

Stakeholder engagement
At DHP Family, we recognise our legal obligation under Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 to act in a manner that we, in good faith, believe would most likely promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole. In fulfilling this duty, we are committed to considering the long-term consequences of our decisions on the company and its stakeholders. This statement outlines how the Board of Directors endeavours to uphold this responsibility. Since the opening of our flagship venue Rock City over 40 years ago, DHP Family has grown to become a leading name in the live music industry with a deserved reputation for our innovative and creative approach to music production and promotion. We’ve established ourselves as one of the biggest independent promoters in the UK, earning a credible reputation within the live industry and winning Music Week’s ‘National Promoter of the Year’ in 2019 and Live UK’s ‘National Concert Promoter of the Year’ multiple times. At DHP Family, we take immense pride in our extensive capabilities, comparable to those of a large corporation, while remaining true to the original ethics that have driven our success. We are committed to delivering an exceptional experience in event promotion, overseeing all aspects of major indoor and outdoor festivals, national tours, and standalone shows throughout the United Kingdom. We engage with our key stakeholders as outlined below: Our employees We have many skilled and experienced team members working for DHP, many with years of experience in the industry. We pride ourselves on being a “family” and treat team members as such. The recruitment and retention of staff is key and we engage with them as follows; • Remuneration is set at market levels, rewarding performance of team members with a bonuses structure; • We provide different forms of training to meet the needs of the departments, this comes in the form of a 12-day management training package which the whole Senior team has done. We aim to put all our managers through this training, and it has now run for 10 years. Further to this, we also provide training to departments and team members within departments where needed, to further their experience and gain knowledge. • Further to this, we held bi-weekly senior management and team leader meetings throughout 2023 to ensure all departments are involved in significant business decisions. This is in addition to our twice-yearly Senior Manager/Team Leader meetings and the two Venue Manager conferences we hold annually. Our customers and suppliers We have worked for many years with lots of our suppliers so we can get equipment and stock at short notice as required. Over recent years we have brought in more local suppliers for craft beer as this is something we have a passion for and is shared with our customers. We enhance our reputation with suppliers by paying them on standard terms and paying on time as we understand a smaller company needs to be paid quickly. Examples of this include 7-day or 14-day payment terms for selected suppliers which we meet. Our Community DHP is dedicated to fundraising annually for community projects. Notably, the Beat the Streets Festival supports the Framework Charity for the Homeless providing £250k in in-kind support over the past three years. Since 2018, DHP has also organized and funded the annual Women in Music Conferences. These conferences aim to encourage more women to join the music industry, offering a space to share success stories and discuss challenges. In 2023, DHP continued its charitable efforts with Framework, raising £81k for the local homeless charity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DHP FAMILY LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of DHP Family Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, 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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DHP FAMILY LIMITED (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:
Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identify the key laws and regulations affecting the company. We identified that the principle risk of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations related to: • Management bias in respect of accounting estimates and judgements made; • Management override of control; • Posting of unusual journals or transactions We focussed on those areas that could give rise to a material misstatement in the Company financial statements. Our procedures included, but were not limited to: • Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims, including instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud; • Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance where available; • Reviewing legal expenditure in the year to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud. • Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. • Performing audit work over the risk of management override controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias. It is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.
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.

1.Accounting policies (continued)
The sale of wet and dry goods within the company's venues is recognised at the point of sale, when payment is made by the customer. Door receipts are recognised on entrance to the venue. Sales of tickets are usually recognised when the event; for which consideration has been received, actually occurs. Sponsorship income and hire of facilities income is recognised in line with the period to which it relates. Lease incentives are recognised over the lease term on a straight line basis.
Defined contribution pension plan
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and contributions to the scheme are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period in which they become payable. Current tax liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method and is calculated using rates of taxation enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date which are expected to apply when the asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1.Accounting policies (continued)
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life.
No depreciation is provided in the year of acquisition whilst a full year of depreciation is provided in the year of disposal.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in Statement of comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1.Accounting policies (continued)
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration, expected to be paid or received. However if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost. Investments in non-convertible preference shares and in non-puttable ordinary and preference shares are measured: - at fair value with changes recognised in the Profit and loss account if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably; - at cost less impairment for all other investments. Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Profit and loss account.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1.Accounting policies (continued)
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance sheet when there is an 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.
