Group Strategic Report
for the year ended 31 December 2024

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the group to 31st December, 2024 was that of providing amusement and leisure facilities.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
In the year ended 31st December 2024, the group's trading position continued on a positive trajectory, following on from the end of the previous year. We continue with our core activity of providing affordable family entertainment within leisure and retail environments.

During the year the group opened its first location in Northern Ireland, within the Belfast Odyssey scheme. The site includes a Funstation as well as Escape Rooms and a Dessert Bar, which have been added to further our customer experience.

During the year we refurbished both our sites within the Xscape Yorkshire leisure scheme. As part of this, in the Volcano Falls site we have added interactive darts. Again, as with previous years, the new site and refurbishments have been funded entirely through organic growth and existing cash reserves.

Turnover continued to increase year on year whilst being able to maintain relatively consistent gross and net margins. Day to day expenditure is continuously reviewed to ensure margins can be maintained and budgeted for. The group continues to explore cost saving opportunities where possible.

Staff costs have increased due to statutory increases in the National Minimum Wage and due to annual pay increases to help with the rising levels of inflation, ensuring that quality staff are invested in, retained and attracted.

The group's reputation (and brands) continue to be held in high regard within the leisure sector, by the general public and by landlords due to the consistent quality of our offering and ongoing investment within our venues.

The group remains in a strong financial position due to continual expert management of the business and its ability to react to any unforeseen circumstance.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The group does not have significant exposure to foreign currency, credit, liquidity, interest rate or cash flow risks due to the nature of its trade. Exposure to other price risk arises in the normal course of the group's business. This risk is limited by the group's financial management policies described below.

Other price risk
The main risk faced by the business is that sites with long leases will cease to be profitable, whether through the reduction in footfall or the increase in ongoing running costs. We manage these risks by monitoring the impact of new attractions at sites and closing unprofitable sites if necessary.

2. Gross return on sales - gross profit as a percentage of sales revenue.

3. Working capital ratio - total current assets divided by total current liabilities.


KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPI's)

Overstone Holdings Limited (Registered number: 10128202)

Report of the Directors
for the year ended 31 December 2024

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024.

DIVIDENDS
The company paid dividends of £318,000 (2023: £90,000). The directors do not recommend payment of a further dividend.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
At the date of signing, the group has opened two new locations, a Funstation within The Light - Leeds, as well as a site at The Eden Centre - High Wycombe.

Over the next 12 months the group has plans for further growth by adding additional locations and extending some of our current venues. This again will be achieved using existing cash reserves ensuring the stability of the group is not compromised in any way.

The changes announced in the budget in relation to business rates hospitality relief reductions, Employer NICs and National Minimum Wage increases mean that we are facing much larger bills in 2025. This will be managed where possible through efficient staffing.

Later on in the year we also start a multi-year energy agreement through forward purchasing which should result in lower electricity bills over the next few years.

DIRECTORS
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2024 to the date of this report.

J L Miller
Mrs V I Miller

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT
Principal activity, financial risk management objectives and policies, and the exposure to foreign currency, credit, liquidity, interest rate, cash flow and other price risks are set out in the strategic report (as defined by section 414 C (11) of the Companies Act 2006).

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;
- 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.

Overstone Holdings Limited (Registered number: 10128202)

Report of the Directors
for the year ended 31 December 2024


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 or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Clifford Roberts, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





J L Miller - Director


26 August 2025

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Overstone Holdings Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Overstone Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, 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 December 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Overstone Holdings Limited


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 four, 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
Overstone Holdings 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.

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:

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the group and
parent company and the sector in which they operate. We determined that the following laws and
regulations were most significant: the Companies Act 2006, UK Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice and UK corporate taxation laws.
- We obtained an understanding of how the group and parent company is complying with those legal
and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to the management and by observing the oversight of
management, the culture of honesty and ethical behaviour and whether strong emphasis is placed on
fraud prevention, which may reduce the opportunities for fraud to take place, and fraud deterrence,
which could persuade individuals not to commit fraud in the first instance. We corroborated our
inquiries through our review of all relevant available audit information.
- We assessed and understood the susceptibility of the group and parent company's financial
statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Based on this understanding
we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. The audit
procedures performed by the engagement team included:
> identifying and assessing the design and effectiveness of controls management has in place to
prevent and detect fraud;
> understanding of how senior management considered and addressed the potential for override of
controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
> challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting
estimates;
> performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal
entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant
transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
and,
> assessing the extent of compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

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 Report of the Auditors.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Overstone Holdings Limited


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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Overstone Holdings Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

The company's principal place of business is at Portway House, 13 North Portway Close, Round Spinney Industrial Estate, Northampton NN3 8RQ.

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 as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Basis of consolidation
The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to the 31st December, 2024. The results of the subsidiaries acquired or sold are consolidated for the periods from or to the date on which control passed. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by the group. All intra group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. The company, as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, does not include its own profit and loss account in these financial statements although this was approved at the same date as these financial statements.

Significant judgements and estimates
In the application of the group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.

(a) Deferral of monies held on cards and redeemable tickets provision
Almost all locations operate cashless games. Customers preload their funcards and swipe or tap to play games. Tickets can be won on some games and prizes redeemed using them. Both card and ticket balances expire if not used within 12 months.

As such, all balances remaining on cards and the value of tickets still held are deferred into the period in which they expire or are used.

The income deferred was £505,831 (2023 - £443,927) and the value of the tickets provided for was £326,027 (2023 - £315,636).

(b) Determining net book value of tangible fixed assets
In determining the net book value of tangible fixed assets, management estimate both the residual value and the useful economic lives of the assets. Both judgements rely on the experience of management.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Turnover is recognised at the point of use of leisure facilities by customers. Turnover also includes the rental of investment property. All turnover arose entirely within the United Kingdom.

Investment income
Income from listed investments is included in the income statement of the accounting period in which it is received. Fixed income from investments is included in the income statement of the accounting period in which it is accrued.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Leasehold improvements - Over the life of the lease
Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance, 15% on reducing balance, 10% on cost and 10% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

No depreciation is provided on assets in the course of construction.

Investments
Investments comprise of quoted shares and fixed income bonds held as current assets, and investments in subsidiaries held at cost. Investments in shares (other than shares of a subsidiary, associate or joint venture) are required to be carried at fair value through profit or loss, provided that they are publicly traded, or fair value can be measured reliably, for example by using a valuation technique. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, then the investment is carried at cost less impairment. Changes in fair value and impairments are recognised in profit or loss.

Investment property
Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Stocks consist of consumable items such as food and drink, and goods held for redemption using prize tickets.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
Overstone Holdings group enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans, and balances to and from related parties.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable in one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at the present value of future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 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.

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 impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, 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.

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.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

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.

Summertime Leisure Limited ceased trading from their principal place of business, Billing Aquadrome, Crow Lane, Northampton NN3 9DA, on the 2nd June, 2024. As of that date, the company has sold, or is in the process of disposing of, all its fixed assets. Their fixed assets have therefore been reclassified as current assets held for resale.

The transfer to freehold property is in respect of a building owned by one subsidiary and rented to another. It has therefore been reclassified from investment property on consolidation.

Group

All the above assets were held for use in operating leases.

Investment properties were acquired in April 2021, July and August 2024. The directors regard the open market cost of the investments to be an appropriate approximation of the fair value of the property as at the year end, having given due regard to the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset.

Therefore there is no change in value to recognise through the income statement in the current year and no associated deferred tax to provide for.
