GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 |
The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 July 2024. |
Review of business |
Sales and Profit were higher compared to last year. Gross margins improved but Administrative expenses increased during the period. The Balance Sheet remains strong. |
Staff morale and well being continue to be at the forefront of management actions. |
Key performance indicators |
2024 | 2023 |
£ | £ |
Turnover | 191,960,041 | 183,478,208 |
Gross Profit | 25,813,102 | 25,712,886 |
Net Assets | 22,766,838 | 21,904,618 |
Principal risks and uncertainties |
Our sourcing offices continue to work closely with all local manufacturing and logistics suppliers to ensure quality, compliance and delivery standards are maintained. The offices also ensure that local government and environmental standards are adhered to by all associated with our supply and delivery. |
The reliance on overseas production means the company purchases and sells products in different currencies. In general both purchases and sales are in the same currency, thus minimising risk but exchange rate exposure, where it does arise, is limited by utilising systems which minimise risk. |
Section 172(1) statement |
Each director of the company continues to be mindful of their statutory duty to promote the success of the company for the benefit of the members as a whole and, in so doing having regard (amongst other matters) to those factors set out in sector 172( 1) (a)-(f) of the Companies Act 2006. |
The company constantly liaises with suppliers, customers and Licensors to maintain close working relationships to monitor both current and future developments for the benefit of all parties. |

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 |
Streamlined energy and carbon reporting (secr) |
Reporting period |
1st August 2023 to 31st July 2024 |
The Group's main trading entity continues to be B.M. Fashions (UK) Ltd. |
Global Licensing Ltd and Fashion-UK Germany both operate from office locations with shared energy facilities which give no facility to separate our proportion of energy consumption and carbon footprint. |
At these sites staff are encouraged to save power as much as possible and use resources of heat and light as efficiently as possible. |
The table below relates to B.M. Fashions (UK) Ltd. |
Energy and Carbon calculation |

Scope 2 | Electricity | 234,424 | 48.54 | 42.11 |
Scope 3 | Grey fleet | 16,286 | 3.93 | 3.41 |
Total gross consumption and emissions | 549,077 | 115.27 | 100% |
Metric used - Employee headcount - 202.00 |
Intensity ratio -Tonnes of CO2e per employee headcount - 0.57 |
GHG emissions and energy consumption |
This is the third year of SECR reporting for the company. |
- | B.M. Fashions (U.K.) Limited operate 5 company cars, none of which accrued business mileage during the data period. |
- | Natural gas consumption increased markedly from July 2023 to July 2024. This increase is due to gas consumption at the Loughborough site, occupied from 1/5/2023 onwards. The previous report captured just 3 months' gas consumption, 26,108 kWh. This report captures an entire year of increased consumption, 311,950 kWh. In addition, gas-powered units at this site (two gas powered drying machines (to cure print on garments), and five gas heaters used to heat the warehouse areas) are now fully operational. |
- | The net effect of the above was to increase tCO2e per employee from 0.45 to 0.57, despite an increase in staff headcount from 146 to 202. |
Intensity ratio |
It was decided that the most meaningful intensity metric (i.e. one which would allow stakeholders to quantify B.M.Fashions (U.K.) Limited's environmental impact relative to a given amount of goods and/or services provided) would be one based on average employee headcount during the reporting period. The resulting intensity ratio of tCO2e peremployee will best illustrate improvements in real energy efficiency over time. |
Efficiency narrative |
The company continues to monitor its energy usage and take all necessary actions to minimise use and work as efficiently as possible. |
Quantification and Reporting Methodology |
The methodology used in this report is The GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard combined with 2013 UK Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines (updated March 2019). We have used the DESNZ |
(Department for Energy Security & Net Zero) GHG conversion factors for Company Reporting and Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers ('CIBSE') 2021 conversion factors where metered energy consumption was not available. |
The energy efficiency narrative methodology has been created based on energy management best practice. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 July 2024. |
Dividends |
The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 July 2024 was £4,420,809 (2023: £845,270). |
Events since the end of the year |
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements. |
Directors |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 August 2023 to the date of this report. |
Financial instruments |
The company utilises various financial instruments including loans, cash and various items such as trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these is to raise finance for the group's operations. The existence of these financial instruments exposes the group to a number of financial risks, which are described in more detail in the Strategic Report. |
Political donations and expenditure |
No political donations were made during the year (2023: £nil). |
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; |
- | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
- | 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 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. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 |
Auditors |
The auditors, Haines Watts Audit EM 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 |
B M FASHIONS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of B M Fashions (Holdings) Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 July 2024 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 and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, 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 July 2024 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. |
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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
B M FASHIONS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, 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. |
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: |
- | Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual, potential or suspected litigation, claims, non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations and fraud. |
- | Enquiry of entity staff in tax and compliance functions and external advisors to identify any instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. |
- | Performing audit work over the risk of management override, 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. |
- | Reviewing of financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. |
- | Discussions with the engagement team in relation to how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. |
- | Reviewing any minutes for meetings during the year. |
Despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit, and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularity likely to involve collusion, forgery, intentional |
misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. |
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. |
Use of our 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |

After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources and support to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial information. The directors therefore believe the Group has the ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. |
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). |
Functional and presentational currency |
The company's functional and presentational currency is GBP. |
Basis of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 July 2024. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Profit and Loss Account from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the group. |
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised is recorded as goodwill. |
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full. Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. |
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. |

Turnover |
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: |
Sale of goods |
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied: |
- | the Group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer; |
- | the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
- | the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
- | it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and |
- | the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made. |
Intangible assets |
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. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Improvements to property | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Equipment | - |
Tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
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 balance sheet 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. |
Exemptions for qualifying entities under frs102 |
The Company has taken advantage of the following exemptions: |
(i) from preparing a statement of cash flows, on the basis that it is a qualifying entity and the consolidated statement of cash flows, included in these financial statements, includes the Company's cash flows; and |
(ii) from the requirement to disclosure intra-group related party transactions, under FRS102 paragraph 33.7. |
Foreign currencies |
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. |
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non- monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined. |
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges. |
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'. |
On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into Sterling at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rate ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at opening rate and the results of overseas operations at actual rate are recognised in other comprehensive income. |
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. |
Exceptional items |
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Group but are presented separately due to their size or incidence. |

Debtors |
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at transaction price, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. |
In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management. |
Creditors |
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at transaction price, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Financial instruments |
The Group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in 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 net of transaction costs and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, 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 in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan. |
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 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. |
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. |
Provisions for liabilities |
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Group a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. |
Provisions are charged as an expense to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year that the Group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet. |

3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below. |
(i) Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill |
The Group considers whether intangible assets and/or goodwill are impaired. Where an indication of impairment is identified the estimation of recoverable value requires estimation of the recoverable value of the cash generating units (CGUs). This requires estimation of the future cash flows from the CGUs and also selection of appropriate discount rates in order to calculate the net present value of those cash flows. |
(ii) Useful economic lives of tangible assets |
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. |
(iii) Stocks provisioning |
The Group continues to design and manufacture of licensed apparel and is exposed to changes in the market prices of clothing. As a result it is necessary to consider the recoverability of the cost of stocks and the associated provisioning required. When calculating the stocks provision, management considers the nature and condition of the stocks, as well as applying assumptions around anticipated saleability of finished goods and future usage of raw materials. |
(iv) Impairment of assets |
The Group makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. |
(v) Accruals |
The Group provides for liabilities from customers in proportion to the risk they are exposed. |
4. | TURNOVER |
The turnover and profit before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the company. |
In the opinion of the directors, the disclosure of turnover by geographical location would be seriously prejudicial to the interests of the reporting entity and therefore this information has not been disclosed. |
