STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 25 FEBRUARY 2024
The Directors present the strategic report and financial statements for the period ended 25 February 2024.
The comparative period is from 28 February 2022 to 26 February 2023. The principal activity of the Company is the operation of four sports pubs and kitchens in London.
For the period ended 25 February 2024 the Company reported turnover of £12.7m (vs £13.2m in 2022/23, -3.7%). Gross profit margin on sales was remained strong at 77.2% compared with 77.7% in 2022/23.
As a result, the business reported EBITDA of £1.1m (vs £1.6m in 2022/23). Despite the above, the company shows net liabilities of £0.3m (vs net assets of £0.3m in 2022/23) as a result of the loss for the year of £0.5m (vs £0.3m profit in 2022/23).
The Company recognises the potential market, operational and financial risks that it faces in the current economic environment. The Board regularly considers the key risks facing the Company in turn, to ensure that they are mitigated as far as possible. As part of this process, the Company undertakes a regular and robust review of its business plan and will adjust it if deemed necessary.
The continual focus on innovation, both in technology and menus, along with the customer satisfaction surveys and reviews, helps diminish business risks. The Directors remain committed to delivering a relevant and unique customer experience which combines a very high-quality product and a distinctive experience with a competitive price point. The key risks facing the Company in the opinion of the Board are: Macro-economic pressures including:
∙Rising inflationary driven cost base
∙Falling consumer confidence in light of cost of living and interest rate increases
∙Further transport strikes
In order to retain margins and attract customers, the business continues to innovate, re-align pricing, simplify menus, and optimise processes and procedures.
Changes in working patterns: The move to more working from home reduces footfall in the City that in turn impacts revenue. The Company has successfully pivoted in its business to optimise weekends and increase spend per head. Staff recruitment and retention: In order to recruit and retain staff, pay rates and benefits are continually reviewed and adjusted to be industry leading, alongside the implementation of key development, cultural and training initiatives. Changes in customer tastes: The Company regularly conducts research, monitors UK and global trends and reviews customer satisfaction surveys to ensure we stay relevant and contemporary and can predict customer tastes.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 25 FEBRUARY 2024
Liquidity risk:
The Company’s commitment to repay loans and comply with its borrowing covenants is carefully monitored to ensure sufficient operational cash flows will be available to both meet the existing liabilities and provide funds for future growth. The Directors consider that the Company is well placed to manage both of these. Expansion risk: The Directors are aware of the risks associated with expansion and the opening of new bars and restaurants. Any new venture is thoroughly considered to reduce any associated risks. Financial risk management: The Company’s activities expose it to financial risk that include liquidity and cash flow risk. The Directors monitor these on a regular basis through cash flow modelling and forecasting.
The Directors have a wide range of management information to monitor the performance of each site, and regularly review the output to ensure the Company is in a good financial position. They consider the principal KPIs to be:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ETM PREMIUM SPORTS BARS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of ETM Premium Sports Bars Limited (the 'Company') for the period ended 25 February 2024, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ETM PREMIUM SPORTS BARS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the 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 Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

ETM PREMIUM SPORTS BARS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ETM PREMIUM SPORTS BARS 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 have identified the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations, particularly in respect of minimum wage legislation and alcohol licencing regulations, and we have 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 preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, income tax, payroll tax and sales tax. 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 posting inappropriate journal entries and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
∙Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
∙Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
∙Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
∙Identifying and testing all journals, in particular journal entries posted with keywords, unusual or round sum values and backdated; and
∙Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates, particularly in respect of the estimated useful lives of tangible fixed assets and the recoverability of debtors.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 25 FEBRUARY 2024
Useful lives of tangible fixed assets The estimated useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets are based on management's judgement and experience. When management identifies that actual useful economic lives differ materially from the estimates used to calculate depreciation, that charge is adjusted prospectively. Due to the significance of property, plant and equipment investment to the Company, variations between actual and estimated useful economic lives could impact operating results both positively and negatively, although historically few changes to estimated useful economic lives have been required.
The Company bears the cost of the audit fees incurred by other companies within the group that it is part of.
