GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The principal activity of the company continued to be that of management consultancy services. The principal activity of the group continued to be that of hotel management across Europe and Asia.
The directors are satisfied with the performance of the company for the year 2024, which has traded in line with expectations. 2023 benefited from the surge in travelling that happened post COVID-19. In 2024, the growth was more moderate for the hotel operations. Turnover from hotel operations in Bali and Madrid grew by 16% from 2023 but fell by 7% in Amsterdam. The group accounted for revenue of €1.25m from hotel operations in Phuket in the first quarter of 2023 but as a result of the reorganisation that took place later in the year, Phuket was no longer part of the group in 2024. Therefore, the total revenue reported from hotel operations decreased from €8.74m in 2023 to €7.46m in 2024. The level of property sales in each year can be variable. The directors are pleased that these amounted to €5.96m in 2024. The equivalent amount in 2023 was €7.39m. During the year, the group has recognised exceptional expenses of €4.59m in relation to one development site. This relates to a review of previously capitalised items which no longer met the criteria for capitalisation. It is to be noted that the group reports an ‘other finance expense’ of €3.05m. This expense mainly relates to foreign exchange differences arising from revaluation of intragroup current accounts and is an unrealized exchange loss. The group is satisfied with the total revenue of €13.4m and adjusted net profit of €4.03m (net profit for the financial year excluding the exceptional administrative expenses and other finance expense). Following a good year of 2024, going forward, the focus for the group remains on operating hotels in Bali, Amsterdam and Madrid and on property sales in Niseko.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The group’s operations expose it to a moderate level of financial risk that includes the effects of the following specific items noted below.
Given the size of the group, the directors determine the financial risk management policies and procedures and delegates responsibility for their implementation to the group's finance department. The group's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, current asset investments and trade debtors and creditors. Due to the nature of the business, there is no significant exposure to price risk or credit risk. The group's approach to managing other risks applicable to financial instruments is shown below. Liquidity, cash flow and interest rate risks The directors monitor bank and current asset investments to ensure that the group has sufficient available funds for the group's ongoing expenditure, and to evaluate the return on cash balances held. Foreign exchange risk The group is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. These rates are monitored and appropriate action taken where necessary. Competitive risk The group operates in a market where there is significant competition from other hotel operations. Ongoing monitoring of services offered as well as diversification of revenue streams through property sales, are essential to maintaining a competitive position in the market and therefore growth.
We consider that the group’s financial key performance indicators are those that demonstrate the financial performance and strength of the group as a whole. These included but are not limited to, turnover, gross operating profit, the level of fixed assets and inventory and the balance sheet total. These are reflected in the primary statements in the attached financial statements and show improving financial performance and equity position, together with positive operating cashflows in 2024.
Total turnover has decreased from €16.1m to €13.4m, primarily due to Phuket not being part of the group anymore (2023: turnover of €1.25m from Phuket), as well as a lesser value of properties sold in Niseko (€5.96m vs €7.39m in 2023). The group reported a loss of €3.6m for the financial year (2023: loss of €7.49m). However, the result of the group, when excluding the exceptional administrative expenses and other finance expense, was a profit of €4.03m. During the financial year, the net cash generated from operating activities amounted to €4.78m and the net cash and cash equivalents increased by €2.88m to €11.39m at year end. The total net assets value of the group was €55.46m at year end (2023: €55.09m).

The other non-financial key performance indicators include occupancy rates across the group hotel operations. The directors are mindful of the impact of occupancy and therefore deem it a significant indicator of performance, with rates being regularly reviewed and investigated.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
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;
∙state whether applicable UK 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 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 AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VIVAR GLOBAL LIMITED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
We have audited the financial statements of Vivar Global Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the consolidated profit and loss account, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated balance sheet, the company balance sheet, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the company statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the 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 Auditor's 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 AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VIVAR GLOBAL LIMITED (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditor's 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VIVAR GLOBAL LIMITED (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
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 auditor's 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:
∙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 company and group through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector in which the company and group operater;
∙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 company, including the Companies Act 2006 and taxation legislation;
∙we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management; 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 company’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; and
∙considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
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 a sample of journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
∙assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in note 3 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 tax authorities.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
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. 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 auditor's 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 auditor's 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.
