GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

INTRODUCTION
 
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 May 2021.

BUSINESS REVIEW
 
The principal activity of the company is that of a holding company.
The main activities of the significant subsidiaries in the group are set out below:
John Baylis Limited holds a headlease of The Mall Regional Shopping Centre at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol from which it receives a share of the net rents. It also owns a freehold office investment property at Cribbs Causeway.
John Baylis Leisure Limited holds a headlease of The Venue Leisure Park at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol from which it receives a share of the net rents.
Baylis Ventures Limited owns the freehold of a motor dealership at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol. 

We consider the key performance indicator to be rents receivable.
Rent receivable in the year was £7.2m, down from £7.6m in 2020.
Due to adverse trading conditions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, the Group has seen reductions in turnover from £7.6m in 2020 to £7.2m in 2021, and subsequent reductions in gross profit from £5.5m in 2020 to £5.1m in 2021. 
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the valuation of the group's investment property now valued at £65m, down from £87m in 2020.
Despite this, at 31 May 2021, the Group has continued to have a strong financial position maintaining a profit before fair value movements and associated deferred tax of £3.4m (2020: £3.7m), translating to an operating cash net inflows of £3.3m (2020: £4m).
If necessary the Group can decide to withhold distributions of surpluses to shareholders to maintain an adequate level of working capital cover. 

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
The group operates within the commercial property investment market with a high exposure to the retail and leisure sectors. The principal risk to the group is the impact any economic downturn may have on both footfall and sales at The Mall and The Venue, leading to potential tenant failures, voids and rent reductions. The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus in early 2020 saw the start of this decline that has continued throughout the financial year ending 31 May 2021. 
The directors have considered the short-term impact on the group and although there has been and will continue to be a reduction in net rents receivable the group has sufficient resources to continue trading.
The loss of footfall has had a significant financial impact on the tenants, many of whom are seeking to re-negotiate lease terms, which is likely to result in a long-term reduction in rental revenues for the group. 
With the current uncertainty in the economy, the directors are aware that any plans for the future development of the business are subject to evolving circumstances, particularly as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, which may involve unforeseen events outside the directors’ control. The directors will continue to monitor events and react in order to sustain the group.
Further details are included in note 2.3 to these financial statements.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group strategic report, 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 2006They 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF J.T. BAYLIS & COMPANY LIMITED
OPINION


We have audited the financial statements of J.T. Baylis & Company Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 May 2021, which comprise the Group Statement of comprehensive income, the Group and company Statements of financial position, the Group Statement of cash flows, the Group and 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 May 2021 and of the Group's loss 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 other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and  our Auditors' report thereon.  The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report.  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. 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.




J.T. BAYLIS & COMPANY LIMITED
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF J.T. BAYLIS & COMPANY LIMITED (CONTINUED)

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 , 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.




J.T. BAYLIS & COMPANY LIMITED
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF J.T. BAYLIS & COMPANY 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:

We have considered the following:
The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
Results of our enquires of management and directors in relation to their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities within the Group and Company; and,
Any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Group and Company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to: identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations.

As a result of these procedures, we have considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the areas of high risk to be in relation to revenue recognition. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK) we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We have also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Group and Company operates in, focussing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures within the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act, Financial Reporting Standard 102 and UK tax legislation. In addition we considered the provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental for the Company’s ability to operate or avoid a material penalty. These included safeguarding regulations, health and safety regulations; employment legislation; and data protection laws.
Our audit procedures performed to respond to the risks identified included, but were not limited to:
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess the recognition of revenue;
Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
Reviewing board minutes;
Identifying and testing journal entries, evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud; and,
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates.

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
 


J.T. BAYLIS & COMPANY LIMITED
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF J.T. BAYLIS & COMPANY LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.


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.


USE OF OUR REPORT
 

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in 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 company and the company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

1.


GENERAL INFORMATION

The principal activity of the company and its subsidiaries are set out in the strategic report. The company is a private limited company, incorporated in the United Kingdom and registered in England & Wales. Its registered office is at Churchfields, Westbury Hill, Westbury on Trym, Bristol, BS9 3AA.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
2.1

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 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 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 financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the company.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the group 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.

 
2.3

GOING CONCERN

As described further in the strategic report, the directors have considered the current COVID 19 situation. The group operates from a low fixed cost base that is resilient to changes in turnover. The nature of the group is to generate a surplus which can be distributed to the J.T. Baylis Discretionary Settlement. The J.T. Baylis Discretionary Settlement will not request any distribution that the group is unable to afford.
After reviewing the group's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

 
2.4

TURNOVER

Turnover represents rents receivable and development and management services provided during the year. It is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

 
2.5

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.



J.T. BAYLIS & COMPANY LIMITED

 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


2.5
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 methods noted below.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Short-term leasehold property
-
20% straight line basis
Fixtures and fittings
-
10-25% reducing balance 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 profit or loss.

 
2.6

INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 
2.7

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.8

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.

 
2.9

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.

 
2.10

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.

 
2.11

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.

 
2.12

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

2.13

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.

 
2.14

OPERATING LEASES: THE GROUP AS LESSOR

Rental income in respect of property subject to operating leases is credited to the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income in accordance with the specific terms of the lease.

 
2.15

OPERATING LEASES: THE GROUP AS LESSEE

Rentals in respect of property held under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income in accordance with the specific terms of the lease and, in the case of other assets, on a straight line basis over the lease term.

 
2.16

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 Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

 
2.17

INTEREST INCOME

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

 
2.18

BORROWING COSTS

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.



J.T. BAYLIS & COMPANY LIMITED

 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
2.19

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION

The tax expense for the year comprises current 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 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 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 reporting 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 reporting date.


3.



JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.


4.


TURNOVER

All turnover arose within the United Kingdom.

FACTORS AFFECTING TAX CHARGE FOR THE YEAR

The tax assessed for the year is higher than (2020: higher than) the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK of19% (2020:19%). The differences are explained below:

TOTAL TAX CHARGE FOR THE YEAR
(2,891,448)
(5,866,314)


FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE TAX CHARGES

The UK corporation tax rate will rise from 19% to 25% in 2023 and this was substantively enacted on 15 June 2021. Accordingly, this rate will be used to measure any deferred tax assets and liabilities in future reporting periods.
A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in respect of tax losses carried forward in the parent company and group of £1,169,000 (2020: £1,169,000) on the grounds that it is unlikely that sufficient taxable profits will be recognised in the near future in order to utilise the losses.

At 31 May 2021 the group had further commitments under two non-cancellable operating leases for land and buildings. The leases are due to expire in 474 and 476 years. The commitments are dependent upon the amount of rent received from sub-tenants, being a total of £30,000 per annum plus one-third and one-quarter respectively of the net rents received under each lease. As the rents received are variable, it is not possible to exactly quantify the commitment. In the current year this amounted to £2,011,004 (2020: £2,131,959).
