Directors' report
For the Year Ended 31 March 2020
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020.
Principal activities
The group's principal activity is to carry on business and activities as may promote, market, advertise and develop nationally and internationally the tourist industry and all the bodies, entities, persons associated and involved therein.
Directors' responsibilities statement
|
The directors are responsible for preparing the directors' report and the consolidated 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments 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 Group 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 the Group and to 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 the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Group's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements and other information included in directors' reports may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The directors who served during the year were:

Directors' report (continued)
For the Year Ended 31 March 2020
Provision of in-kind services
The services which can be reliably measured have been recognised in the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of public benefit entity reporting under FRS102.
In-kind services can not be reliably measured and therefore have not been recognised in the financial statements. These goods and services have been estimated by the directors based on their experience and the market value of similar services received. Goods and Services with an estimated value in the region of £750,000 (2019: £750,000) were provided by a number of private sector investors. The current year in-kind services relate to events that have been deferred as a result of Covid-19.
Visit Kent Limited is grateful to the providers of these services, without which much of the work undertaken could not have been achieved.
Disclosure of information to auditors
|
Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this directors' report is approved has confirmed that:
∙so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company and the Group's auditors are unaware, and
∙the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company and the Group's auditors are aware of that information.
Post balance sheet events
|
Dividends
Post year end the company received dividends of £25,000 from its subsidiary, Go To Places Limited.
Covid-19
At the time of signing the financial statements the directors are aware of the potential economic effects of the Covid-19 virus outbreak. The full impact of the pandemic on the UK economy is yet to be seen and to date the tourism industry has been significantly affected. The company will continue to mitigate this risk by following the UK Government guidelines and adapting its own internal strategy.
In preparing this report, the directors have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the board on 28 October 2020 and signed on its behalf.

Independent auditors' report to the shareholders of Visit Kent Limited
We have audited the financial statements of Visit Kent Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 March 2020, which comprise the Group statement of income and retained earnings, the Group and Company balance sheets and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, 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 March 2020 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.
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
|
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
∙the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
∙the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our auditors' 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.
Page 3

Visit Kent Limited
(A company limited by guarantee)
Independent auditors' report to the shareholders of Visit Kent Limited (continued)
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.
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 directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the directors' report has 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 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; or
∙the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the directors' report and from the requirement to prepare a group strategic report.
Responsibilities of directors
|
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement on page 1, 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 shareholders of Visit Kent 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
∙Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
∙Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the Group or Parent Company's internal control.
∙Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
∙Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group or Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
∙Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
∙Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Independent auditors' report to the shareholders of Visit Kent Limited (continued)
This report is made solely to the Group or Parent Company's shareholders 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 Group or Parent Company's shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Group or Parent Company and the Group or Parent Company's shareholders for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements
For the Year Ended 31 March 2020
Visit Kent Limited is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. Each of the members are liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the company in the event of liquidation.
The group is considered to be a public benefit entity in accordance with the requirements of FRS102. The group acts as a private sector organisation which has won a number of successful tenders to deliver activities for the public good.
The group's principal activity is to carry on business and activities as may promote, market, advertise and develop nationally and internationally the tourist industry and all the bodies, entities, persons associated and involved therein.
The registered office is Franklin House, 10 Best Lane, Canterbury, Kent, CT1 2JB.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
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 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 preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Group has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own statement of income and retained earnings in these financial statements.
The group's functional and presentational currency is Pounds Sterling.
The financial statements have been rounded to the nearest Pound.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its subsidiary ("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 income and retained earnings from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 31 March 2017.

Notes to the financial statements
For the Year Ended 31 March 2020
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The group benefits from core income from private sector investors and local authorities to promote the tourist industry in Kent. The timings of other cash flows can however be unpredictable for the award of grants and income derived from special campaigns. As a result of uncertainties over future cash flows, which are further impacted by Covid-19, the company has obtained funding by way of a loan from Kent County Council.
Based on the current position of the group at the date of signing the accounts and the expected future results, the directors' expect to use any loan drawn down to provide liquidity to enable the business to grow rather than address short term cash flow challenges. The directors' are confident that the company will continue to operate without having to use the KCC loan to support the existing core activities.
Whilst the continued impact of the Covid-19 virus has been assessed by the directors, it is difficult to evaluate the on-going certainty of potential outcomes on the group's trade.
The company’s forecasts and projections show that the group will be able to operate within its level of current facilities. Accordingly, the directors believe that the group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. On this basis, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
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:
Grant income
Grant funding is recognised under the accrual model as prescribed by FRS102. Grant funding is only recognised in circumstances where the Board are confident that the claim will be accepted, in the relevant periods in which the entity recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate.
In-kind services
In-kind services or facilities are recognised when the group has control over the item, any conditions associated with the item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the group of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, in-kind services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the group which is the amount the group would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
In-kind services of which the fair value can not be reliably measured have not been recognised in the financial statements but disclosure has been made of their estimated value.
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.

Notes to the financial statements
For the Year Ended 31 March 2020
2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Tangible fixed assets (continued)
|
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:
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 consolidated statement of income and retained earnings.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
|
|
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.
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Group's functional and presentational currency is Pounds Sterling.
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.
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 the consolidated statement of income and retained earnings except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the consolidated statement of income and retained earnings within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.
|
|
Operating leases: the Group as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statement of income and retained earnings 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.
Interest income is recognised in the consolidated statement of income and retained earnings using the effective interest method.
Tax is recognised in the consolidated statement of income and retained earnings 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 income 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.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The preparation of the financial statements requires the directors to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that can affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities, and the results for the year. The nature of estimation is such though that actual outcomes could differ significantly from those estimates.
The following judgement has had the most significant impact on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Public benefit entity
The group acts as a private sector organisation which has won a number of successful tenders to deliver activities for the public good.
The group receives a number of in-kind services from private sector investors as disclosed in the directors' report. The services which can be reliably measured have been recognised in the financial statements on the basis that the directors consider the group to be a public benefit entity in accordance with the requirements of FRS102.
In-kind services received comprise advertising and publications, event hire, catering, accommodation, trade contracts, entry to attractions and rates reductions. The value of these services has, in part, been estimated by the directors based on their experience and the market value of similar services received.
Recognition of the in-kind services which can be reliably measured are shown within income with a matching cost and there is therefore no effect on profitability. In-kind services of which the fair value can not be reliably measured have not been recognised in the financial statements and the directors' estimate that these services are valued in the region of £750,000 (2019: £750,000). The current year in-kind services relate to events that have been deferred as a result of Covid-19.
Grant income
The group's entitlement to grant funding (see note 2.4) is dependent on it meeting certain "key delivery outcomes" as specified within the grant documentation. In the opinion of the directors the group has continued to meet these "key delivery outcomes".
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 25 (2019 - 27).

The group's entitlement to grant funding (see note 2.4) is dependent on it meeting certain "key delivery outcomes" as specified within the grant documentation. In the opinion of the directors, the group has continued to meet these "key delivery outcomes". Therefore whilst failure to adhere to these requirements could result in an obligation to repay part of the funds, no attempt has been made to quantify the amount of this contingent liability as in the opinion of the directors the likelihood of the group being obliged to make any repayment is negligible.

Post balance sheet events
|
At the time of signing the financial statements the directors are aware of the potential economic effects of the Covid-19 virus outbreak. The full impact of the pandemic on the UK economy is yet to be seen and to date the tourism industry has been significantly affected. The company will continue to mitigate this risk by following the UK Government guidelines and adapting its own internal strategy.
In the opinion of the directors there is no one ultimate controlling party.
