Group Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
FAIR REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The group's results for the year and the financial position at the year end were considered satisfactory by the directors. |
The Group remains focused on maximizing the value of second-hand products and remaining the leader in each of its 26 trading locations as a go to establishment for technology and entertainment products. |
Product warranty, brand awareness and our online presence remain the distinct advantages amongst local competitors and larger national brands, we expect to continue to lean on these areas to leverage our position in the market. |
The reduction of cost above store level to enhance profitability remains a focus and work is taking place to deliver more on this front with improved efficiencies in operations through technology and the revision of operational procedures. These efficiencies are expected to deliver gains and improvement in stock and people management, labour cost and stock shrinkage. |
These efficiencies are expected to deliver gains and improvement in stock and people management, labour cost and stock shrinkage. |

Group Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
There are number of potential risks and uncertainties which could impact group's performance. The board of Directors consider the risks of all significant business decisions and changes in the external environment and group operations. These risks are assessed by the board on a regular basis to ensure they are identified and appropriately managed. The principal risks arise from inaccurate assessment of the products, inappropriate staff and managers training and inefficient internal controls assessment. |
Financial risk |
The group's financial risk is arising primarily from adjusting buying and selling prices of the products to match demand and supply at a given time. |
However, the group is mainly dealing in the second-hand electronic products which are highly technical and the risk has been mitigated by setting fixed prices across the whole franchise. |
Competitive risk |
UK's franchisee market is competitive, particularly in the high street retail sectors where our business is focused. Many companies have entered the market and are offering similar products which gives rise to competitive pricing structures. The impact of technology has been enormous, and it is essential that we keep abreast of advances in this area. Our Franchisor is one of the leaders in the market, continuous training improvements and product selection criteria has helped us to control competition risk. |
Taxation risk |
The group is exposed to financial risks from increase in tax rates and changes to the basis of taxation including VAT and corporation tax. Principal controls to mitigate this risk include regular monitoring of legislative proposals and use of experienced sector specific professional advisors to mitigate the impact of changes. |
Liquidity risk |
The group manages the liquidity risk by ensuring there are sufficient funds to meet the operating needs of the business. |
In respect of bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a positive balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through an agreed payment policy. Given the maturity of bank loans, the group is in a position to meet its commitments and obligations as they become due. |

Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The group's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade debtors, trade creditors, balances due to and from related companies and bank borrowings.. The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds for group's operations and to finance group's trading activities. |
Due to the nature of the financial instruments used by the group there is no exposure to price risk. The group's approach to managing other risks applicable to financial instruments concerned is shown below. |
In respect of bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between the continuity of funding. |
Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by regular monitoring of amounts outstanding. |
Trade creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring funds are available to meet amounts due within agreed terms. |
Interest rate risk - The Group borrows from its bankers using term loans whose tenure depends on the nature of the asset and management's view of the future direction on interest rate. |
In respect of loans due to related entities, these are interest-free and repayable on demand. This allows the group to maintain sufficient funds to meet its payment to creditors. |
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), 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 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. |

Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
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 ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
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 |
GDMP Investments Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of GDMP Investments Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Company Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statements, 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 the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of the group's profit 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 opinion |
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 UK, including the FRC'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. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
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 group's and the parent 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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
GDMP Investments Limited |
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. |
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 Report of the Directors. |
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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page six, 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 |
GDMP Investments 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: |
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 identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to UK taxation, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to management override of controls. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: |
- Discussions with those charged with governance; |
- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims; |
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and |
- Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and testing accounting estimates (because of the risk of management bias). |
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentation, or through 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. |

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
GDMP Investments Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. |
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company Monetary amounts in those non statutory financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. |
Basis of consolidation |
In the parent company financial statements, the cost of business combination is the fair value at the acquisition date of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. The excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill. The cost of the combination includes the estimated amount contingent consideration that is probable and can be measured reliably and is adjusted for changes in contingent consideration after the acquisition date. Provisional fair values recognised for business combinations in previous periods are adjusted retrospectively for final fair values determined in the 12 months following the acquisition date. Investment in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. |
The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of GDMP Investments Limited and all of its subsidiaries (i.e. entities that the group controls through its power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefits). Subsidiaries acquired during the year are consolidated using the purchase method. Their results are incorporated from the date that control passes. |
All financial statements are made up to 31 December 2023. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the group. |
All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. |
Going concern |
Management has considered the post balance sheet events, and other conditions, and it has determined that they do not create a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt upon group's ability to continue as a going concern. Improving operating results and financial position after the balance sheet date indicates the going concern assumption is still appropriate. |

Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows : |
Sales of goods |
Turnover from sale of electronics is recognised when significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the cost incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. This is usually when goods are processed through the Company's outlet till and handed over to the customers or processed through internet and goods are dispatched. Sales are recognised in the accounts at the earlier of money received or point of sale. |
Turnover for the group also includes restaurant sales, sell of cakes and rent receivable from investment properties. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years. |
Patents and licences |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Franchisee fees are being amortised over their estimated useful life of 5 - 10 years. |
Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 5 years. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Freehold property | - |

Improvements to property | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss. |
Impairment of fixed assets |
At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). |
Investment property |
Investment property which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss account. |
Stocks |
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Stock includes unsold electronics and unused raw materials at the year end. |
Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss. |

Financial instruments |
The group has elected to apply the provision of Section 11 `Basic Financial Instruments` and Section 12 Other Financial Instruments Issues` of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
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 arrangements constitute 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. |
Impairment of financial assets |
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. |
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
Classification of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity is any contract that evidences are residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. |
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities include creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitute a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. |
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 group'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. |
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. |
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. |
Exchange liabilities |
The group purchases second hand electronic goods from the general public for a non-cash consideration by issuing 'Exchange Voucher'. The exchange vouchers are redeemable in exchange for other goods from any shop operated by the Franchisor but can not be redeemed for cash. The vouchers have no expiry date. Exchange liability vouchers are recognised at transaction price. |

3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCER |
In the application of the group'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. |
Exchange liabilities |
The group purchases second hand electronic goods from the general public for a non-cash consideration by issuing 'Exchange Voucher'. These vouchers have no expiry date. Based on the knowledge of the industry, the company keeps the exchange liability for last 4 years as amounts due within one year and the balance is written off profit or loss account. |
