Audit Report |
The Independent Auditor's Report contained a qualified opinion as set out below. The name of the Senior Statutory Auditor who signed the audit report on
Qualified opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Luisa Spagnoli UK Ltd (the ' company ') for the year ended 31 December 2024 , which comprise the Abridged Statement of Financial Position, and Notes to the Abridged 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 FRS 102 Section 1A 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements:
• | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its loss 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 qualified opinion on the financial statements
The company held stock of inventory at 31 December 2024 in two locations. In respect of one location, no physical stocktake was undertaken and thus we were unable to observe the counting of physical inventories held at that location at 31 December 2024. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at 31 December 2024 included in the statement of financial position at £82,077 out of the total inventory at that date of £1,050,468. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount was necessary.
Additionally, in respect of one stock location, no physical stocktake was undertaken for the year ended 31 December 2023, and thus we were unable to observe the counting of physical inventories held at that location at that date. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at 31 December 2023 included in the statement of financial position at £103,515 out of the total inventory at that date of £899,997. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount was necessary. or whether there was any consequential effect on the cost of sales for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These abridged financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).
Basis of preparation
These abridged financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
Going concern
The company made a loss for the year ended 31 December 2024 and had a deficit of net assets at that date of £368,424. At that date an amount of £1,675,499 was due to the parent undertaking who has agreed not to call for repayment until such time as the company has sufficient working capital and to continue to provide further working capital if required.
The director has considered the effect of the current cost of living crisis in the UK and the global economic environment as impacted by ongoing conflicts overseas and believes that there will be no material impact on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.
With the resources that the company has, including funding from the parent undertaking, the director believes that the company has sufficient working capital for a period exceeding 12 months from the approval of the financial statements.
On the basis of the above, and after making enquiries, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the director continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of the company's activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.
The company recognises revenue from the sale of goods at the point of sale when the amount can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
|
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
|
Furniture, fittings and equipment |
5-10 years straight line |
|
Leasehold improvements |
Over the lease period |
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The cost of finished goods comprises direct materials and, where applicable, those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
