GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

INTRODUCTION
 
The Directors present their strategic report for the group for the year to 31 December 2024.

BUSINESS REVIEW
 
In common with other businesses in the holiday park sector, we faced a number of challenges in 2024; continuing inflation, competition with national and international tourism, and poor weather.

Inflation has been reduced slightly from 4.2% in the 12 months to December 2023 to 3.5% in the 12 months to December 2024, however, the continued effect has resulted in consumers continuing to cut back on discretionary spending and has tightened profit margins within the industry. Additionally, adverse weather has deterred individuals from booking holidays within the UK has driven consumers to look overseas for holidays reducing staycations.

Turnover in the year to 31 December 2024 grew by 8% (2023 – 8%). This continued increase has been benefited by the inclusion of Galtres Retreat & Lodge Park Ltd for the first whole year. The primary driver of the turnover increase is the improvement to unit sales during the year.

However, the cost of goods and services remain significantly higher than in previous year, this has resulted in a slight decrease to the Gross Margin to 33% (2023 - 39%) and lead to Operating Profit to fall from £3,067,672 to £1,887,274.

Despite these difficulties the group has managed their cash flows to enable the cash at bank to increase by £709k to £3,193,389 (2023 - £2,483,908). Due to the nature of the group's business of operating residential and holiday parks, the group enjoys a short debtor days period of 15 days (2023 - 13 days).

Although liquidity has fallen during the year to 104% (2023 – 137%), this is from the Group utilising longer credit terms available from suppliers. The Group continues to make good on its debt repayments.

In the previous year additional loans were used to fund the acquisition of Galtres Retreat & Lodge Park Ltd. This increased the gearing of the group to 56% for 2023. In the current year the group has repaid £1m of their outstanding finance, as finance costs represent a significant outgoing for the group this will benefit overall performance of the group into the future.

Despite the repayment of finance during the year gearing has increased further to 58% in the year. However, this has been driven by the use of hire purchase to finance the acquisition of fixed assets, showing the groups commitment to further improvement of their existing sites. This is further evidenced by applications for additional planning permission to increase the development of various parks.

The directors continue to be very pleased with the performance of the group in such challenging conditions. The business model is resilient and Prestige has good quality assets and a strong management team which have taken advantage of the rebounding selling environment.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
The directors continually review all aspects of risk in the business and the hospitality market. The group faces all the usual risks facing a major hospitality business and considers the main risks to be:

Liquidity risk
The group manages liquidity risk by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet foreseeable costs. The directors consider that the cash reserves are sufficient to finance short to medium term operations and has sufficient security to acquire additional loan financing to fund larger projects as required to meet the group's growth objectives.

Price risk
At the date of this report, there is still uncertainty as to the long term impact of various global and national events, such as Brexit and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. All these events have the potential to have a long lasting impact on the future economy and affect everything from fuel prices, exchange rates, interest rates, material prices, staff costs and availability, and future changes to tax rates. However, the directors continually monitor the group's costs and will take action wherever necessary to protect its stakeholders should any period of uncertainty continue for longer than expected.

Credit risk
The group's principal financial assets are cash and trade debtors. The credit risk associated with cash is limited as the group only uses reputable financial institutions. In order to manage credit risk on trade debtors the group secures the debts over the plots held by its residents, while turnover for holiday lets are collected in advance.

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
 
The directors consider that the group's key performance indicators (KPIs) are those that communicate the financial performance and strength of the group as a whole to its members. The KPIs comprise revenue growth, gross margin and net margin.

OTHER KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
 
The directors monitor other performance indicators such as occupancy rates and staff turnover to assess the success of the group and are satisfied that these KPIs are within expectations.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PRESTIGE COUNTRY PARKS LIMITED
 

OPINION


We have audited the financial statements of Prestige Country Parks Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Analysis of Net Debt, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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's 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 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.


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 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.

OTHER INFORMATION

The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur 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.


OPINION 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 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.


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 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 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 Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3, 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PRESTIGE COUNTRY PARKS LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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 an Auditors' 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:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

1. The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
2. Reliance on external financing and the need to meet bank covenants;
3. Enquiries with management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.

As a result of these procedures, the audit team considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for irregularities and identified the greatest potential for fraud in terms of misstatements in the financial statements was in relation to sales revenue.  In common with all audits under ISA's (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. The assessment of the risk of fraud in terms of misappropriation of assets highlighted fraudulent supplier/bank payments as a focus area.

In addition we considered the legal and regulatory framework that the group operates in, focusing on provisions of these law and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Key laws considered include the UK Companies Act and UK Tax Legislation  We also considered those laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the companies ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty, these include Health & Safety Legislation.

Audit response to risks identified:
• Substantive testing was undertaken on the completeness of revenue by way of tracing the purchase of holiday units through to being invoiced/included in the financial statements.
• Standard procedures were used to test management override including the review of year end journals and whether the judgments made in making accounting estimates are indicative of potential bias.
• To cover the assessed risks in relation to fraudulent payments, we have undertaken an extended substantive test to cover purchases occurrence and also non-purchase ledger payments.
• We also perform analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationship that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud or other irregularities, these procedures also include the review of profit margins.
• We remained alert to any indications of fraud or non compliance throughout the entire audit process.


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 Auditors' Report.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company is the parent of the Prestige Country Parks Limited Group.

1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
1.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.

The Company's functional and presentational currency is Pounds sterling.

The level of rounding is to the nearest £.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
1.2

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance Sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

 
1.3

GOING CONCERN

The directors have considered the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. They have concluded that the going concern basis is appropriate because sufficient funds will be generated from future trading for a period of at least twelve months from the date of the approval of these financial statements to enable the company to meet its liabilities as they arise.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
1.4

REVENUE

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue 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 revenue is recognised:

Unit sales
Sales of mobile homes are recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to
the customer, usually on occupation when the park home agreement is signed or legal completion
takes place.

Non-Refundable Deposits
Non-refundable deposits are recognised when it becomes certain that the sale of a unit will not be
completed.

Recharges of expenses, Maintenance fees, Commissions and Membership fees
Recharges of expenses, Maintenance fees, Commissions and Membership fees are recognised on an accruals basis in the period to which they relate.

 
1.5

OPERATING LEASES: THE GROUP AS LESSEE

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
1.6

LEASED ASSETS: THE GROUP AS LESSEE

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase 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 creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

 
1.7

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
1.8

FINANCE COSTS

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
1.9

PENSIONS

Defined contribution pension plan

The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss 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 Group in independently administered funds.

 
1.10

CORPORATION AND DEFERRED TAXATION

The tax expense for the year comprises corporation and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits;
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
1.11

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

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 the Group's share 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 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over its useful economic life.

Other 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.

Goodwill is amortised over a period of 10 years. Website Development is amortised over a period of 3 years.

 
1.12

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.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property
-
Not depreciated
Plant and machinery
-
20% reducing balance and 20% - 25% straight line
Motor vehicles
-
25% straight line
Fixtures and fittings
-
20% - 25% straight line
Office equipment
-
20% reducing balance and 20% - 25% straight line
Other fixed assets
-
25% straight line

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.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

No depreciation has been provided on freehold property as the property is maintained in such a state of repair that its residual value is at least equal to its net book value. As a result the corresponding depreciation would not be material, and therefore is not charged to the profit and loss account.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
1.13

REVALUATION OF TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Individual freehold and leasehold properties are carried at current year value at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date.

Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers.

Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss.

 
1.14

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
1.15

STOCKS

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. 

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.

 
1.16

DEBTORS

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are
measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised
cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
1.17

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

 
1.18

CREDITORS

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank
loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.19

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

The Group has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Basic financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

 
1.20

DIVIDENDS

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results ultimately may ultimately differ from those estimates.

As described in note 14, land and buildings are stated at fair value based upon the valuation performed by an independent professional valuer. The valuers have recent experience in the location and category of the property valued. The valuer used observable market prices adjusted as necessary for any difference in the future, location or condition of the specific asset.
