DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
2018 continued the strong growth of previous years; the growth has been achieved through continued expansion of the product portfolio, and we now sell tailor-made holidays to 24 countries. As well as increasing the product range, we also increased our capacity to ensure we’re in a position to handle the growing demand. Mid-way through the year we moved into new premises, taking on substantially more space than we required immediately in order to give us space to continue to grow.
We continue to invest for growth, increasing headcount to a) continue increasing the product range, b) continue to improve our capacity, and c) to bolster the central functions to support continued growth. Our order book is in excellent shape, with a 41% increase year-on-year. Investment in our staff remains high, with substantial amounts spent on wellbeing and training. This is part of our strategy to attract and retain the best talent. Profit levels, whilst low, are entirely as expected, due to the continued investment in growth. Profitability will improve as the incremental costs of growth begin to decrease relative to the overall size of the business, and as we fill currently vacant office space staff either selling, or driving down costs in our central functions. If the costs associated with growth are stripped out, then the net profit on our existing, core products is around 6%. The management team continue to invest in improving our digital presence, through partnerships with third party providers and expanding the marketing team. The company has gone through a rigorous internal audit by the newly appointed finance team. All our investments are geared towards continuing to drive growth, whilst also improving efficiency and productivity.
The directors who served during the year were:

2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
Transactions and balances
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. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company 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:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of income and retained earnings on a straight line basis over the lease term.
In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. The capitalised development costs are subsequently amortised on a straight line basis over their useful economic lives, which range from 3 to 6 years.
If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.
Interest income is recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings using the effective interest method.
Finance costs are charged to the Statement of income and retained earnings 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.
Defined contribution pension plan
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 Statement of income and retained earnings 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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
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:
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 the Statement of income and retained earnings.
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.
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.
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.
