STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
INTRODUCTION |
The company provides an image capture product offering to the leisure and experience industry, notably theme parks, water parks, attractions and multi-participant events around the world. The company provides its customers, who are the site owners, with comprehensive services, usually on a revenue share basis, starting with the installation of photographic equipment, employment of personnel, and ending with the printing or downloading of the photos. |
The company is part of a worldwide group which has developed a digital platform that combines innovative technologies for photography, automatically creating content in a cloud environment, distributing and selling it to the end user. This digital platform is being rolled out across the company's sites and forms a growing portion of the company's sales activities. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
Turnover increased by 0.009% to £31,083,321 (2023: £30,783,703). |
The company made an operating profit of £1,677,297 in 2024 (2023: £235,397). |
The turnover and profit of the company does not typically fluctuate significantly year on year, as the customer base is steady and is made up of longer term contracts with customers that the company has developed a relationship with over several years. There have been no gains or losses of major customers in the year. |
KPls are monitored by Pomvom Ltd in Israel, Revenue levels are monitored, and EBITDA is monitored to ensure that is in line with (or better than) the budgeted EBITDA. Similarly, cash flow forecasts are compared to actual cash flow to ensure the cash flow is in line with expectations. |
Bonus targets generally relate to EBITDA, Cashflow and digital revenue |
Future developments |
During the year 2025, the company will continue with the roll out of the digital platform, started in 2022, in the rest of the sites where it operates. This roll out, which is carried out in various stages, is expected to result in the maximisation of sales at site. As the revenues from selling products digitally increase, the cost of revenues will decrease, these being the cost of product used in the print operation, and the labour required to service this operation. |
Updating the technology and increasing the digital element will allow the company to develop in the following areas: |
The transition from image to video - the digital platform makes it possible to produce, distribute and save video capture of the users. |
Sharing in real time - the increasing use of digital media sharing on social networks accelerates the transition to digital photography mainly through mobile phones or photographic means that allow the capture of unique experiences in real time. |
Reducing the use of cash - the use of cash has recently been significantly reduced in the parks. The digital platform, which enables online purchase of media by the end customer, is complementary to this trend. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The critical success factors to this strategy are: |
Economic slowdown and uncertainty |
A global or local economic slowdown may cause a decrease in the number of visitors to the sites where the company operates, resulting in a decrease in demand for the service provided by the company. |
Epidemics, including global and local disasters |
Global and local epidemics and disasters may cause governments to take steps that limit activity, thereby disrupting leisure activities and gatherings. |
Cyber attacks and information leakage |
The company's services to its customers are performed through the use of the cloud. The company makes every effort to maintain a strict information security system and a sufficient set of backups in order to prevent damage to the contents delivered to the company's customers. However, cyber attacks on the company's software or other companies' systems used by the company may prevent the company from providing its services temporarily and may even cause damage to the content transmitted through the company's system. Such damage may lead to the loss of the trust of the company's customers and damage to the company's reputation, which may affect the business performance. The company has dedicated insurance against damages as a result of a cyber attack. At the time of publication of the report, no material event of this type has occurred. |
Regulatory changes |
The company operates in various territories around the world and therefore may be subject from time to time to various regulatory provisions, mainly in the field of privacy protection in the countries in which it operates.Changes in the regulation, as well as the differences in the regulatory provisions between different countries, may require making adjustments to the company's products and lead to a reduction of its activities in different countries or considerable expenses. |
Non-compliance with the provisions of the law |
Failure to comply with the provisions of the law, particularly in connection with privacy protection and GDPR, may expose the company and its officers to sanctions, including civil and criminal proceedings and the imposition of financial sanctions. In addition, failure to comply with the instructions may cause significant damage to the company's reputation and profitability. |
Cash collection |
In some of the sites where the company operates, payment is made in cash for the company's products. Accordingly, the company is required to operate a cash collection operation totalling millions of pounds which is carried out in many transactions with low amounts per transaction. Collecting payments in this manner may lead to theft or loss of funds and damage to the company's revenues. |
Recruitment of operational personnel and changes in labour laws |
The company employs many seasonal workers at the sites where the company provides its services in the UK and Europe who are often employed at minimum wage. Future changes in the minimum wage or other substantial changes in the labour laws in the countries where the company operates affect the wages of these employees and may also affect the company's business results. Difficulty in recruiting suitable personnel may also harm the operative activity of the company. |
Dependence on key employees |
There are some key employees, especially those who have experience and seniority in the company who the company sees as having a significant future contribution to its development due to the extensive knowledge they have gained and their experience in the activity market and the structure of the company. With the loss of any of these employees, the company will need a certain period of time to locate a replacement and there may be an impact, for a short period of time, in relation to the field of activity of that official. |

DIRECTORS |
The directors who have held office during the period from 1 January 2024 to the date of this report are as follows: |
STRATEGIC REPORT |
The company has chosen in accordance with section 414C (11) of the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 to set out in the company's Strategic Report information required by the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 Schedule 7 to be combined in the directors' report. This information includes future developments, the company's financial risk objectives and policies, and the company's exposure to financial risk including price, credit, liquidity and cashflow. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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 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. |
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 company'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 company's auditors are aware of that information. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Melinek Fine LLP, 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 |
POMVOM UK LIMITED |
Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Pomvom Uk Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its 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 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 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 matters |
| Without modifying our opinion, we draw your attention to note 12 regarding the prior year adjustments. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the 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 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 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 |
POMVOM UK LIMITED |
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 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, 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 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 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 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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
POMVOM UK 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. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience; through verbal and written communications with those charged with governance and other management; and via inspection of the company's regulatory and legal correspondence. |
We discussed with those charged with governance and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. |
We communicated identified laws and regulations to our team and remained alert to any indicators of non-compliance throughout the audit, we also specifically considered where and how fraud may occur within the company. |
The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably. |
Firstly, the company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements, including: the company's constitution, relevant financial reporting standards; company law; tax legislation and distributable profits legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. |
Secondly the company is subject to other laws and regulations such as environmental regulations, health and safety regulations, and data protection regulations, where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on the amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines and penalties, or through losses arising from litigation. |
International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) limit the required procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and no procedures over and above those already noted are required. These limited procedures did not identify any actual or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations that could have a material impact on the financial statements. |
In relation to fraud, we performed the following specific procedures in addition to those already noted: |
- Challenging assumptions made by management in its significant accounting estimates; |
- Identifying and testing journal entries during the period and up to the date of signing this report, in particular any entries posted with unusual nominal ledger account combinations and journal entries crediting cash or any revenue account; |
- Performing analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud; |
- Ensuring that testing undertaken on both the performance statement and the Balance Sheet includes a number of items |
selected on a random basis |
These procedures did not identify any actual or suspected fraudulent irregularity that could have a material impact on the financial statements. |
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK)(ISAs (UK)). For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the procedures that we are required to undertake would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remains a high risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these might involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud, and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations or every incidence of fraud. |
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 |
POMVOM UK 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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements are prepared in Sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the company. |
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
As permitted by FRS 102 section 1.12, the company has taken advantage of the disclosure exemptions available under the standard in relation to the presentation of a statement of cash flows and the aggregate remuneration of key management personnel. Where required, equivalent disclosures are given in the consolidated financial statements of Pomvom Ltd. The consolidated financial statements of Pomvom Ltd are available to the public and can be obtained as set out in note 24. |
As the company is a wholly owned subsidiary of a company whose consolidated financial statements include the results of the subsidiary and are publicly available, the company has taken advantage of FRS 102 Section 33.1a exemption from disclosing transactions with group undertakings. |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
| The company is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements by section 401 of the Companies Act 2006. |
| Going Concern |
| At the balance sheet date, the company had a positive cash balance and net current asset position. At the time of signing these financial statements, the directors have considered the going concern position, and consider that this does indicate that the company will continue to trade for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. |
| The directors have prepared detailed forecasts which are based on increasing levels of activity continuing for the foreseeable future. Using these assumptions, the forecasts show that the company will remain profitable and will be able to operate within the facilities available to it. Support from group companies will be available if a shortfall in financial performance is noted. |
| The directors have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis. |

Turnover |
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover 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 turnover is recognised: |
Sale of goods |
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied: |
• the company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer; |
• the company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
• the amount of turnover can be measured reliably; |
• it is probable that the company 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. |
Other operating Income |
Other operating income represents the income received for supply of services to other group companies. |
Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years. |
| The estimated useful lives range as follows: |
| Goodwill - 12 years |
| Other intangible assets - 12 years |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer's interest in the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis to the profit and loss account over its useful economic life. |
| Other intangible assets |
| Other intangible assets are recognised only if certain criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. The other intangible assets are subsequently amortised to on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives. |

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. |
| The company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred. |
| Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. |
| Depreciation is provided on the following basis: |
| Plant and machinery - 1-3 years |
| Fixtures and fittings - 3 years |
| The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. |
| At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the company estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
| If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in profit or loss. |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment. |
Stocks |
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads. |
At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. |
Financial instruments |
| The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other debtors and creditors and loans to and from related parties. |
| All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost. |
| For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date. |

Current and deferred taxation |
| The taxation charge for the year comprises current and deferred taxation. |
| Current taxation is recognised for the amount of corporation taxation payable in respect of the taxable profit for the current or past reporting periods using the taxation rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. |
| Deferred taxation is recognised where material in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date, except as otherwise indicated. |
| Deferred taxation assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred taxation liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred taxation is calculated using the taxation rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
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. |
| Share based payments |
| Certain directors and employees of the company participate in an equity settled share based payment scheme. Fair value is determined by an external valuer using an appropriate pricing model. Participation in the scheme is on a discretionary basis and so amounts are recognised once full shareholder approval has been given and as such the grant and vesting date are the same. The expense is recognised in profit or loss with corresponding entry in equity. The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the date at which they are granted and is recognised as an expense, which is the date the directors and employees are fully entitled to the award. |
Foreign currency translation |
| 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. Nonmonetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. |
| 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 profit or loss in the year in which they relate. |
Pensions |
| The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations. |
| The contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. |
