Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

The director presents her strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Principal activity

The principal activity of the company is an operator of a group of McDonald's restaurant franchises.

Fair review of the business

The results for the year and the financial position at the end of the year are shown in the annexed financial statements.
As an operator of a chain of McDonald's restaurants the director considers the company's key performance indicators to be turnover and gross profit. Turnover for the year increased by 1.94%, with an increase in gross profit of 3.02% compared to the previous year. This resulted in the company achieving a profit before tax of £110,554 (2024 a loss of £20,197).
The director believes the trading environment in which the company operates will continue to be challenging but remains optimistic regarding future trading and is committed to increasing both future turnover and profitability and to continuing the company’s reinvestment program. The company has continued to invest in the business and in the development and training of its employees, as well as continued investment in IT, store equipment and completing a major refurbishment at one of its restaurants.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The company operates in a highly competitive market with high levels of price sensitivity. Consumer behaviour can impact the company's turnover and profitability. The company mitigates this risk by adopting a policy of constantly assessing its pricing strategy with ongoing market research.
The company remains exposed to periods of food cost inflation together with the variability of commodity prices both of which impact on profitability. In addition, the effects of Brexit have the possibility of impacting the business in terms of the access to, and cost of, both food and labour. The company continually assesses any risks identified, with the aim of mitigating the threats these may have on the company's operations and profitability. The company's supply chain is closely maintained by McDonald's, who endeavour to negotiate effectively on behalf of all franchisees to ensure better purchasing terms. This helps as much as possible to protect the company from risks associated with fluctuating food costs.
The company is also inherently exposed to pressures within the labour market and to wage cost inflation. The company mitigates this risk by a policy of adopting remuneration and benefits packages designed to be competitive within the market as well as ensuring full compliance with labour market regulations, with employment policies to allow fulfilling career opportunities for all employees.

Director's Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

The director presents her report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Director of the company

The director who held office during the year was as follows:

Mrs F R Nicholls

Results and dividends
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £47,847 (2024 - loss £49,200).
During the year, dividends paid amounted to £37,000 (2024: £37,000). The directors do not recommend the payment of a final dividend.

Financial instruments

Objectives and policies

The company uses various financial instruments including cash, bank overdraft and trade creditors that arise directly from its operations. The existence of these financial instruments exposes the company to a number of financial risks, which are described in more detail below.
Due to the nature of the financial instruments used by the company there is no exposure to price risk. The company sets its own prices within allowable margins. Cashflow and liquidity exposure is therefore directly related to prices and turnover.
The company's strategy to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that the company has sufficient funds to meet all of its potential liabilities as they fall due. In respect of bank loans, wherever possible monthly repayments are fixed. The liquidity risk is therefore managed by ensuring there are sufficient funds available to meet the monthly repayments. In respect of trade creditors, the liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due for payment on agreed terms.

Price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk

The main risks arising from the company's financial instruments are interest risk and liquidity risk. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
Interest rate risk
The company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is limited to bank loans. The additional requirement for medium to long term debt will be reviewed by the directors based on the company's forecast requirements.
Liquidity risk
The company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash and bank loans.

Director's Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Employment of disabled persons

The company operates an equal opportunities policy in all areas of recruitment and seeks to offer suitable work and training wherever practicable to persons with disabilities. The policy of the company is to ensure that disabled applicants are given full and fair consideration having regards to their particular aptitudes and abilities. Existing disabled employees are given equal access to appropriate training, career development and promotion opportunities within the company. In the event of employees becoming disabled while in the employment of the company, all reasonable means are explored to achieve retention in employment in the same or an alternative capacity.

Employee involvement

The company aims to promote a working environment free from harassment, victimisation, bullying and discrimination. The company regards all of its employees as members of a team, where opinions are valued, and everyone is regarded as equal in status and treated with fairness and respect. The company's recruitment procedures are intended to ensure that employees are selected, promoted, and treated according to their ability and that everyone has an equal opportunity to receive training and development. The company communicates regularly with all employees on matters relating to its performance, with employees encouraged to contribute to the decision-making process through regular staff meetings. In addition, there is a bulletin board in each restaurant where memoranda relating to company policy are displayed. There is also an online portal known as MyStuff, which contains news and information for McDonald's employees.

Disclosure of information to the auditors

The director has taken steps that she ought to have taken as a director in order to make herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. The director confirms that there is no relevant information that she knows of and of which she knows the auditors are unaware.

Reappointment of auditors

The auditors Manex Accountants Ltd are deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

Statement of Director's Responsibilities

The director acknowledges her responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless she is 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 director is required to:

• | select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

• | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• | state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The director is 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 her to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with FRS 102. She is 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.

Finix Restaurants Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Finix Restaurants Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Finix Restaurants Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Income Statement, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows, 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 2025 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 auditor 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 director's 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Finix Restaurants Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Finix Restaurants Limited

Opinion on other matter 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 Director's Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• | the Strategic Report and Director's Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our 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 and the Director's Report.

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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
• | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of the director

As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities [set out on page 5], the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor 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:

Finix Restaurants Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Finix Restaurants Limited

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: The Companies Act 2006/FRS 102, Employment Law and Waste, Health and Safety. We enquired of management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures to obtain an understanding of how the company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks and whether they had any knowledge of actual or suspected fraud. We corroborated the results of our enquiries through our discussions with the directors and management. We did not identify any matters relating to non-compliance with laws and regulations or matters in relation to fraud.
In assessing the potential risks of material misstatements, we obtained an understanding of the company’s operations, including its objectives and strategies to understand the expected financial statement disclosures and business risks that may result in risks of material misstatement;
In assessing the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team the engagement partner considered the engagement team’s :
 Understanding of, and practical experience with, audit engagements of a similar nature and complexity through appropriate training and participation,
 The specialist skills required and
 Knowledge of the industry in which the client operates.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
 Assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
 Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
 Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular manual journal entries made at year end for financial statement preparation; and
 Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement item.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Judgements

In the application of the company's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the critical judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty that the directors have made in the process of applying the company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Income taxes
The company is subject to the corporation tax laws of the United Kingdom. These laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by taxpayers and tax authorities. When establishing corporation tax provisions, the directors make a number of judgments and interpretations about the application and interaction of these laws. Changes in these tax laws or in their interpretation could affect the company's effective tax rate and the results of operations in a given period.

Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Revenue is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.
The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

Finix Restaurants Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of property, plant and equipment includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class | Depreciation method and rate
Plant and equipment | straight line between 3 and 13 years

Goodwill

Goodwill is amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made.

Intangible assets

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the currency of the acquired entity and revalued to the closing rate at each reporting period date.
Licences have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Finix Restaurants Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Amortisation

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:

Asset class | Amortisation method and rate
Goodwill | straight line over the remaining life of the licence
Licence fees | straight line over the remaining life of the licence
Stamp duty | straight line over the remaining life of the licence

Investments

Investments in unlisted company shares, whose market value can be readily determined, are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historical cost less impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Receivables

Receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Receivables are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Inventories

Stocks are stated at the lower of average cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less further costs expected to be incurred prior to completion and disposal.

Payables

Payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Payables are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Finix Restaurants Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the income statement over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Dividends

Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
