GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
The directors present their group strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2023.
The directors are satisfied with the results for the year and the financial position at the year end. Turnover increased to £12.7 million from £10.6 million in 2022. Profit before tax for the year was £283,969 compared to £1.3 million in 2022. The results for 2022 include £1.2m of interest payable waived.
Going concern Having secured new funding arrangements, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group has the ability to withstand possible downside scenarios should they arise. Therefore, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least the 12 months following the date of their approval of the financial statements.
The assessment of risks faced by the Group and the development of strategies for dealing with these risks is achieved on an ongoing basis through the way in which the Group is controlled and managed. The risk management process seeks to enable the early identification, evaluation and effective management of the key risks facing the businesses at an operational level and to operate internal controls, which adequately mitigate these risks. The Group regularly assesses its risk management activities to ensure good practice in all areas.
The principal risks and uncertainties are as follows: - Competitive Landscape: London is known for its vibrant restaurant scene, and the competition among upscale restaurants can be fierce. - Economic Factors: The current economic climate has impacted consumer spending habits, including the effect of fluctuations in currency exchange rates on overseas visitors. - Cost Management: The company has implemented systems and procedures to help mitigate the impact of increases in operating costs, including staff wages, quality ingredients, and maintaining an elegant atmosphere. Ensuring effective cost management through efficient procurement, stock control, and optimisation of staff numbers is crucial for maintaining profitability. - Staffing and Training: Hiring and retaining skilled staff, including chefs, sommeliers, and waitstaff, can be a challenge. There is a risk of staff turnover, which can impact service quality and customer satisfaction. Providing competitive salaries, creating a positive work environment, and investing in staff training and development can help mitigate this risk. - Regulatory and Compliance: The restaurant industry is subject to various regulations and compliance requirements, such as health and safety standards, food hygiene regulations, licensing, and employment laws. Failing to comply with these regulations can result in penalties, reputational damage, or even closure. Staying updated on the relevant regulations and maintaining strict compliance is essential. - Customer Preferences and Trends: Consumer preferences and dining trends can evolve rapidly, and it is important to adapt to changing customer demands, such as dietary preferences, sustainability, or technology integration, to maintain relevance and a strong customer base. - Online Reputation Management: In today's digital age, online reviews and social media presence play a significant role in shaping a restaurant's reputation. Negative reviews or poor social media management can harm a restaurant's image and deter potential customers. Actively managing customer feedback and reviews is essential to maintaining a positive reputation.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
In line with our operating objectives, we use both financial and non-financial KPIs. Where relevant, KPIs are used as our primary measure of whether we are achieving our objectives. However, the scale and size of our operations means that we use many other detailed performance measures in addition to KPIs. We also use KPIs to measure performance against our primary objective of growing our business to create value for the shareholder. We use qualitative assessments to judge progress against our objectives in areas where numerical measures are less relevant.
The KPIs used to measure performance include turnover growth year on year, gross profit margin and adjusted EBITDA margin. We benchmark these measures against the appropriate industry competitors and make the necessary controls to ensure that we achieve our target ratios.
The directors consider the number of future bookings of the private dining area and reviews by customers on third party websites as their key non-financial performance indicators.
This report was approved by the board on 11 September 2024 and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £184,083 (2022 - £1,263,404).
The directors do not recommend a dividend for the year (2022 - £Nil).
The directors who served during the year were:
S Pakula was appointed as a director on 24 August 2023.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and 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 for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments 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 Group will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KNBY (UK) LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of KNBY (UK) Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 30 June 2023, which comprise the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group and Company Statements of Financial Position, the Group Statement of Cash Flows, the Group and Company 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 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.
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 or 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KNBY (UK) LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the 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.
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:
∙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.
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3, 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 is 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KNBY (UK) 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 Group 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:
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 engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Group through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the hospitality sector;
∙we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Group, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;
∙we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Group’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
∙making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
∙considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
∙understanding the design of the Group’s remuneration policies.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
∙performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
∙tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
∙assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
∙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:
∙agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
∙enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
∙reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the Group’s legal advisors.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KNBY (UK) LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify 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 Auditors' 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 an Auditors' Report 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
KNBY (UK) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales, with its registered office and principal place of business at Bob Bob Ricard, 1-3 Upper James Street, London, W1F 9DF.
The principal activity of the Group is that of restaurant operation.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full. Subsidiaries that are no longer under the control of the group are excluded from the group accounts from the date on which control ceased. The results of subsidiaries that are subsequently excluded from consolidation are included up to the date control ceased.
The group meets its day to day working capital requirements through secured bank funding and unsecured, interest-free loan finance provided by L Shutov, a director of the Company. The directors have obtained sufficient assurances from these parties of their ongoing commitment to maintain adequate funding for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. On this basis, and having given due consideration to the Group's forecasts and projections, the directors believe that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. In the absence of this continued financial support the going concern basis may be invalid and adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amount, to reclassify fixed assets as current assets and long term liabilities as current liabilities and to provide for any further liabilities that may arise.
Restaurant sales are recognised at the point of sale.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.
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 amounts and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
The Group 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 and loans to related parties.
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 Statement of Comprehensive Income.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Defined contribution pension plan
The Group contributes to a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds. Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related expenditure. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income. Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Statement of Financial Position date, except that: - The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and - Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Goodwill
Other intangible assets
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
Amortisation is provided on the following bases:
Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss.

a) Determine whether leases entered into by the Group are operating or finance leases. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee on a lease by lease basis. b) Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the Group's tangible and intangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset. In preparing these financial statements, the directors have considered the following key sources of estimation uncertainty: Tangible and intangible assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and estimated disposal values.

At the reporting date the Group had losses of approximately £3.9m (2022 - £1.1m) available to carry forward against future trading profits. No provision has been made for a deferred tax asset in respect of these losses in excess of accelerated capital allowances and fair value movements in view of uncertainty as to when they may prove recoverable.
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements. The loss after tax of the parent Company for the year was £
