Strategic Report
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Principal Activity
The company's principal activity continues to be that of the retail of souvenirs, gifts and other high quality products in cashmere and lambswool.
Review of the Business
On 31 January 2025, the entire share capital of the company was acquired by Gold Brothers Group Ltd. The directors believe that this acquisition strengthens the company’s strategic position within the wider Gold Brothers group and provides opportunities for future growth.
The sales in stores increased by 10% to £16.435 million (2024: £14.911 million). This was fundamentally due to an increase in tourists and visitors to Edinburgh.
Gross margins of 65.2% (2024: 65.0%) in the year improved when compared to the previous year and are now well above pre pandemic levels (2020: 53%) due to an ongoing strategic change in pricing policy and a move away from selling high volumes at heavy discounts.
A significant improvement in trading activity resulted in an increase in operational costs. The operating cost were £8.915 million (2024: £7.094 million), being an increase of 25%. 
During the year all staff were transferred to SGD Management Ltd. This has led to a reduction in direct staff costs but has contributed to an increase in the management fees payable to other companies in the group. 
The increase in revenues has also led to an increase in rents where there is turnover element to the lease.
Operating profits of £2.218 million (2024: £2.677 million) were reported in the year.
Since the year end, like for like sales in the period to 30 September2025 increased by a further 7.3% to £11.1 million (2024: £10.4 million) with the company reporting a consistently profitable position.
The company's key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows:

Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The principle risks and uncertainties for GL Attractions business relate to:
  • Impact on UK consumer spending from monetary, fiscal policy and consumer confidence.
  • Brexit and its impact on import/export of goods and human resources.  
  • Events that impact the level of travel to the UK, such as the Covid-19 pandemic and Russian aggression in Europe.
  • Currency fluctuations.  
  • Cyber-attacks and general threats to information security.
Despite the non-domestic risks, the company has seen a consistent increase in tourists and visitors from around the world throughout the year to March 2025. 
Further, despite the domestic risks, the company has seen a significant increase in consumer spending leading to an increase on revenues and net margins.

Directors' Report
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Financial Instruments
The company's exposure to the price risk of financial instruments is not considered significant and therefore the
directors do not believe there is any requirement for the use of financial instruments. Its policy is to finance
fixed assets and working capital through retained earnings and other borrowings at prevailing interest rates.
Directors
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Mr D Singh
Mr G Singh
Mr S Singh
Going concern
The directors have considered the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
In making this assessment, the directors have reviewed the Company’s financial forecasts, cash flow projections and sensitivity analyses, which reflect the Company’s current trading performance, anticipated levels of demand, and forecast operating margins. The Company continues to trade profitably and generated positive operating cash flows during the year.
During the year, a dividend of £7,250,000 was declared and settled by way of offset against intercompany balances. Following this distribution, the Company remains solvent and continues to operate with the ongoing financial support of its parent undertaking, Gold Brothers Group Ltd. The directors note that the Company is part of a wider group and benefits from group and operational support.
The directors have considered the principal risks and uncertainties facing the business, including changes in consumer demand, inflationary pressures, and dependency on group funding arrangements. They have concluded that these risks do not give rise to a material uncertainty that would cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report 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, comprising FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', 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 of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
  • state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS102, 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement of Disclosure of Information to Auditors
Each director has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of
any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. The
directors confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditors are
unaware.

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of GL Attractions Limited for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes of Equity, Cash Flow Statement 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
In our opinion the financial statements:
  • give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its profit/(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 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 Auditor's 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 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 entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 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 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. 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 Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the Strategic Report and Directors' Report 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 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.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
  • adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
  • the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records or 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 Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3—4, 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 is 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 7
Auditor's 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 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 financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 
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,
ncluding fraud.
In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud and
non compliance with laws and regulations we considered the nature of the company and the industry and the
company's control environment.
We identified specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the
financial statements or the operation of the company such as the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation,
employment laws and health and safety regulations.We assessed the extent of compliance with laws and
regulations identified through making inquiries of management and discussing their policies and procedures
regarding compliance with laws and regulations; inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or
regulatory authorities.
We evaluated the directors and management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the
financial statements, including the risk of management bias and override of controls.
Our audit procedures to respond to the risks identified included but not limited to the following:
• Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships and testing
  appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments. 
• Assessing whether judgements and assumptions made in determining accounting estimates were indicative
 of potential bias; and evaluating business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside
  the normal course of business.
• Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
  and related disclosures made by the directors.
• Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
  disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
  manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
   activities within the company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the
   direction, supervision and performance of the company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
  opinion.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the
prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there
remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
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 www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
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 that 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.

The directors have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3. Significant judgements and estimations
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to exercise judgement and make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets, liabilities, income and expenses. These judgements and estimates are derived from historical experience and other factors that are considered reasonable and relevant in the circumstances. However, because they involve an element of uncertainty, actual results may differ from those estimates.
All estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively—either in the period of change, if it affects only that period, or in the period of change and future periods if the revision affects both current and future results.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or those in which assumptions and estimates have a significant effect on the financial statements, are summarised below:
Tangible fixed assets: The company depreciates its tangible assets over their estimated useful economic lives. These useful lives are reviewed annually and adjusted if expectations differ from previous estimates. Factors such as levels of usage, asset condition and the effectiveness of maintenance programmes are taken into account when reassessing useful lives. Following review, the directors concluded that the existing depreciation policies and estimated lives remain appropriate.
Inventory valuation: Stock is reviewed across all retail outlets and to ensure that it is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Management assess the condition, age and turnover of inventory and make appropriate provisions for damaged, slow-moving or obsolete items to reflect their recoverable amount.
Intangible fixed assets: Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives. These lives are reassessed annually, taking into consideration the directors’ expectations of its future economic benefits. The directors have reviewed these factors and determined that the existing amortisation policies and estimated useful lives remain appropriate.

2.4. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods.
Rendering of services
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
2.5. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Goodwill
Goodwill is the difference between amounts paid on the acquisition of a business and the fair value of the separable net assets. It is amortised to profit and loss account over its estimated economic life of 10 years.
2.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold 2% on cost
Leasehold Over the period of the lease
Plant & Machinery 25% on cost and 15% on cost
Motor Vehicles 20% on cost
Fixtures & Fittings 15% on cost
2.7. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.

Page 18
2.8. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.
Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Work in progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses.
At the end of each reporting period stocks are assessed for impairment. If an item of stock is impaired, the identified stock is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell and an impairment charge is recognised in the profit and loss account. Where a reversal of the impairment is required the impairment charge is reversed, up to the original impairment loss, and is recognised as a credit in the profit and loss account.
2.9. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
2.10. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they related to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
