YOUR CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
SIX MONTHS TO 30 APRIL 2019
I am pleased to report on the Company's results for the six months to 30 April
2019. The total turnover for the six-month period to 30 April 2019 was GBP
1,553,553 compared to GBP1,514,627 for the same period the previous year, an
increase of 2.57% (compared to a decrease in the six months to 30 April 2018 of
0.29%).
The gross profit percentage for the period was 0.65% higher than in the six
months to 30 April 2018 and staff costs increased by 6.7% compared to the
figure for the period to 30 April 2018 (2.7% decrease in the half year to 30
April 2018).
Overheads decreased by 15.02% (14.32% increase in the half year ended 30 April
2018). Essential repair work to the fabric of the building was undertaken
during the six months to 30 April 2018. With no comparable repair work carried
out during the period to 30 April 2019, there was a reduction in repairs costs
of GBP103,533 for this period compared to the same period in the previous year.
There is a reduction in the loss for the half year to 30 April 2019 to GBP101,271
compared to GBP199,834 for the half year to 30 April 2018.
The bedroom refurbishment programme continued (12 rooms refurbished in the
period ended 30 April 2019 compared to 29 rooms in the period ended 30 April
2018) and the fire alarm system was upgraded.
The management team continue to explore new methods of promoting and marketing
the enhanced facilities at our 4* status hotel.
Yours sincerely,
