“Our year on year growth of over 10% is testament to the confidence that our customers and clients continue to place in us, coupled with our determination to provide the quality and variety of food that our customers demand.

The hospitality market is developing and we are addressing these changes by becoming ever more retail focused. We understand that every day our customers have choices. Only by providing fresh, seasonal, local food, cooked and presented creatively, on-site, by well trained staff, will we tempt our customers to eat with us time and again.

We place great value on the many lasting relationships we have built with our clients all around the UK. They trust us with their premises and trust us to maximise the impact of their restaurants by providing excellent service.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do – their support and skills coupled with our commitment to providing excellent training make a perfect combination!

WE LIVE AND BREATHE FRESH FOOD, USING QUALITY INGREDIENTS, BRITISH PRODUCE WITH PROVENANCE. SOURCING THE BEST INGREDIENTS IS WHAT GETS US UP IN THE MORNING. EVERY DAY, BAXTERSTOREY USES ONLY THE FRESHEST INGREDIENTS - PICKED AND DELIVERED DIRECTLY TO OUR CHEFS.

Our obsession surrounding food provenance stretches far beyond using just the nearest suppliers. We want to know how the vegetable fields are cared for, how the animals are kept, what the livestock is fed and what the travelling time is from field to slaughter. Our vision for procuring only exceptional ingredients is felt throughout our business and is of paramount importance to our chefs.

By the very nature of the suppliers we work with, collaboration is key. We work hard to build long standing relationships with our key suppliers and encourage our chefs to spend time with them - livestock farmers, fishermen

and fruit and vegetable farmers. This leads to mutual respect between supplier and chef, resulting in the supply of quality produce at the correct price on a consistent basis.

We offer a huge range of culinary, leadership and personal development opportunities through our Academies and our elective learning programme. One example is our Barista Academy where we have trained over 2,000 baristas and managers since its inception. Last year, Don Altizo achieved 6th place at the UK Barista Championship finals - a fantastic result for us as we are the only food service company to compete in this prestigious event. Our coffee standards are amongst the highest in the hospitality sector.

WE LOVE THIS BUSINESS. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS IS SIMPLY THAT BAXTERSTOREY HAS EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE WHO ARE THE STRENGTH BEHIND OUR UNIQUE PRODUCT. WITHOUT DOUBT, OUR PEOPLE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT IN OUR LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY.

By using local suppliers our chefs know they are supporting the environment through reduced transportation, environmentally sensitive farming methods and have specific initiatives to promote wildlife habitats.

Everyone at BaxterStorey is committed to minimising the environmental impact of our operations, from creating new biodegradable packaging to running our vans on recycled cooking oil. We’ve even won awards for it!

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIESThe company’s principal activities during the year continue to be the provision of catering and hospitality services.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTSThe directors are pleased with the company’s overall performance and are confident that following significant investment in overheads the business is adequately structured to realise the benefits from the opportunities forecast for 2014.

BUSINESS REVIEWThe directors are delighted to announce that despite the challenging UK economy and the competitive nature of contract catering that the business grew by over 10% in 2013. Commensurate with the turnover growth our gross profits have also increased by over 10% enabling us to invest more capital to support the operation and its infrastructure and to invest more in training our staff:

• Turnover in 2013 grew to £303.5m, representing an increase of £27.6m on 2012. Our year on year growth has been under-pinned by winning several significant contracts in new market sectors, whilst also delivering solid growth in our existing contracts.

• In 2013 we worked with 351 clients and operated from over 670 locations.

• Our operating profit before other operating income rose by £1.3m to £19.8m.

• Profit before tax rose to £20.9m.

Our commercial success in 2013 has enabled us to continue to invest in our back office systems, technology and most importantly in our people through our investment in training programmes. We are resolute in our commitment to training and development of our staff at all levels as this approach is fundamental to BaxterStorey’s continuing success.

With net assets of £44m, £12.8m of cash on the balance sheet at the year-end and a healthy working capital position we are confident that we have the financial resources to sustain future growth.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIESThe directors recognise that the degree of exposure to certain risks and the business’s ability to manage those risks effectively will influence how successful the business is. The board of directors has significant experience in the sector, trading independently in the catering services industry in the United Kingdom since 1985 and prior to this time for larger corporates. Corporate governance, risk management and control systems have been continually developed by the company over these years. During 2013 a leading risk consulting practice was engaged to refine our processes in this area. The directors are therefore confident that the strategic, financial and health and safety risks faced by the group are identified and managed appropriately.

Strategic and financial risksThe board of directors meet four times a year to review the strategy of the business. The Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer conduct formal monthly monitoring of performance with the key executives where actual performance is compared to budget and forecast. The business has designated levels of authority for all capital investments. The business finances its borrowings from commercial banks and subordinated long term loan notes, where covenants apply there is significant headroom. Cash flows are monitored on a daily basis with active cash and debt management ensuring borrowing levels and interest rates are minimised.

The audit committee, which includes a non-executive director, considers the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management and control systems of the company and reports the results back to the board. It reviews the scope and results of the external audit, its cost effectiveness and the objectivity of the auditors. The audit committee considers the non-audit work performed by the auditors to help ensure that the independence of the auditors is maintained.

The directors present their strategic report for the 52 week period ended 27 December 2013.

Health and safetyThe board has appointed a risk management sub-committee headed by the Chairman along with one of our non-executive directors and Director of HSE to ensure our health, safety and hygiene systems comply fully with legislative requirements. We recognise that in most of our client premises, it is the catering facilities which present the greatest number of hazards and risks within the building. Many of these hazards e.g. slips and trips, machinery and manual handling, cannot be practicably avoided due to the nature of the work activity and must therefore be controlled by a safe system of work. To achieve this we operate a comprehensive and fully documented health and safety management system that exceeds current legislative requirements. We also insist our catering operations are independently audited on an annual basis by The European Safety Bureau, so as to give our clients an open and transparent view of our operations.

To give our clients added confidence in our safety management systems, we are also independently accredited to the SAFE Contractor Scheme and to the British Standards Institute (BSi) to OHSAS 18001:2007 & ISO 14001, which recognise the highest standards of safety, health and environmental performance in business. In 2013 we have improved our safety performance measure by achieving a 22% year on year reduction in RIDDOR reportable accidents even though we have experienced significant growth in our employee numbers. This measure puts us 18% below the industry average for RIDDOR reportable accidents.

Economic uncertaintyWe recognise the impact that the economy can have on our business. Our contract base is varied and covers both public and private sectors thus giving us greater ability to withstand economic downturns. Our contracts enable us to review pricing to reflect inflationary movements whilst we seek to ensure that the costs of our products, services and labour are kept to a minimum whilst retaining client choice and exceeding our service levels.

We believe in providing our clients with exceptional service and exceptional food whilst respecting their individuality and investing time and energy in getting to know them and understanding their needs.

PeopleThe remuneration committee which also includes a non-executive director determines and agrees the framework and policy for the general company and executive remuneration packages, including bonuses, share options, incentive awards and pension arrangements. 2013 saw the introduction of a new equity scheme allowing even more members of the team to have direct equity participation in our parent company.

We seek to retain our people through training, development and creating environments where they can develop their talents.

DIVIDENDS PAID There were no dividends paid or proposed during the period (2012: £47m).

STRATEGIC REPORT In accordance with Section 414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006, the principal risks and uncertainties and future developments of the group are included within the strategic report on page 7.

REORGANISATIONUntil 15 November 2013, Westbury Street Holdings Limited was the ultimate parent company of BaxterStorey Limited. On the 15 November 2013, Westbury Street Holdings Limited was acquired by WSH Hospitality Limited. As a result, Boxford Investments Limited became the ultimate and controlling parent company.

DIRECTORS’ ASSESSMENT OF GOING CONCERNAfter making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENTOur policy is to actively consult and discuss with our employees, through employee forums, union representation (where applicable) and at meetings, any matters likely to affect their interests.

Information on matters of concern to employees is given through information bulletins and reports which seek to achieve a common awareness on the part of all employees of the financial and economic factors affecting the group’s performance.

The directors present their annual report for the 52 week period ended 27 December 2013.

POLITICAL AND CHARITABLE DONATIONSDirect donations to charities by the company in the period amounted to £1.1m (2012: £0.2m). The company made no political donations in the period (2012: £nil).

In order to galvanise our charitable activities we formed the BaxterStorey Foundation beneath the umbrella of our parent company’s charitable foundation, the WSH Foundation. The WSH Foundation was set up during 2008 to channel charitable funds towards local communities and charitable causes that are consistent with the company’s core values. Total funds raised to date by the Foundation stand at £1.5m. Historically the Foundation has raised the bulk of its funds from the Down to Earth coffee initiative, whereby a penny per cup of coffee sold by BaxterStorey is donated to the Foundation, and individual charitable events. However 2013 saw a considerable increase in charitable contributions including a donation out of operating profits of BaxterStorey Limited of more than £1m. The trustees of the Foundation include directors of BaxterStorey Limited.

Donations by the Foundation to date stand at £1.4m. In 2013, these included a donation of £1m to The House of St Barnabas, a charity in Soho that supports London’s homeless people back into work through employment with particular focus on training and development – a core principle of the BaxterStorey business. Other donations included £38,000 to Action Against Hunger and a continuation of donations to the ‘School Kitchen Garden Project’, a project that supports schools in establishing kitchen gardens in order to educate children on the importance of fresh food and provenance.

DISABLED PERSONSOur policy is to recruit disabled workers for those vacancies that they are able to fulfil with the required workplace adjustments. All necessary assistance with training is given.

Arrangements are made, wherever possible, for retraining employees who become disabled, to allow them to perform work which is appropriate to their aptitudes and abilities.

We are a member of the Business Disability Forum.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO THE AUDITORSSo far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information, being information needed by the auditor in connection with preparing its report, of which the auditor is unaware. Having made enquiries of fellow directors and the group’s auditor, each director has taken all the steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to have made himself/herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

AUDITORSPursuant to section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, the auditors will be reappointed and Ernst & Young LLP will therefore continue in office.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under that law the directors have 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 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 of the profit or loss of the company for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

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

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 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 hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Page 37: BaxterStorey Limited Annual Report 2013 · to choose us and are featured throughout this report. Our clients trust us to provide catering services on their premises and we don’t

37

We have audited the financial statements of BaxterStorey Limited for the 52 weeks ended 27 December 2013 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Balance Sheet, and the related notes 1 to 25. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 2006. Our 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 auditor’s 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.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORAs explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 10, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). These standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

SCOPE OF THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAn audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Directors’ report and financial statements to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

OPINION ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTSIn our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 27 December 2013 and of its profit for the period 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 OF PREPARATIONThe financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards in the United Kingdom and with the Companies Act 2006.

The company prepares its financial statements to the closest Friday to 31 December each year. These financial statements are for the 52 week period ended 27 December 2013, with comparative values for the 52 week period ended 28 December 2012.

The company is exempt by virtue of section 401 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to prepare group accounts. These financial statements present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group.

As the company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Westbury Street Holdings Limited, the company has taken advantage of the exemption contained in Financial Reporting Standard 8 and has therefore not disclosed transactions or balances with entities which form part of the group. The consolidated financial statements of Westbury Street Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries can be obtained from TVP 2, 300 Thames Valley Park Drive, Reading, Berkshire RG6 1PT.

The most significant accounting policies, which have been applied consistently throughout the period, are described below.

CASH FLOW STATEMENTUnder Financial Reporting Standard 1 the company is exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement on the grounds that the parent undertaking includes the company in its own published consolidated financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITIONRevenue is recognised to the extent that the company obtains the right for consideration in exchange for its performance. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding trade discounts, VAT and other sales taxes or duty.

GOODWILL Positive goodwill (representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the separable net assets acquired) arising from acquisitions since 1 January 1998 is capitalised. Positive goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life up to a presumed maximum of 20 years. It is reviewed for impairment at the end of the first full financial year following the acquisition and in other periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATIONTangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset evenly over their estimated useful economic life, as follows:

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

LEASING AND HIRE PURCHASE COMMITMENTSAssets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

INVESTMENTSFixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value.

STOCKStock is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIESA provision is recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation.

PENSIONSThe company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The amount charged to the profit and loss account represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.

DEFERRED TAXATIONDeferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more or a right to pay less, tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date, with the following exception:

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

SHARE BASED PAYMENTSThe share option programme allows employees to acquire shares of Westbury Street Holdings Limited. The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted

and is recognised as an expense over the vesting period, which ends on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. Fair value is determined using an appropriate pricing model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the company (market conditions). No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied.

At each balance sheet date before vesting, the cumulative expense is calculated, representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management’s best estimate of the achievement or otherwise of non-market conditions and of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest or in the case of an instrument subject to market condition, be treated as vesting as described above. The movement in cumulative expense since the previous balance sheet date is recognised in the profit and loss account.

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the cost based on the original award terms continues to be recognised over the original vesting period. In addition, an expense is recognised over the remainder of the new vesting period for the incremental fair value of any modification, based on the difference between the fair value of the original award and the fair value of the modified award, both as measured on the modification date. No reduction is recognised if this difference is negative.

FOREIGN EXCHANGETransactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date, or, where appropriate, at the rate of exchange in a related forward exchange contract. Any gain or loss arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction is included as an exchange gain or loss in the profit and loss account.

Share based paymentsThe group operates two share option schemes which allows employees to acquire shares in other group companies. Depending on the nature of the option granted, schemes in place during the year allowed certain employees to acquire either Ordinary Shares in Westbury Street Holdings Limited, or Preferred Ordinary Shares in Westbury Street Holdings Limited or Boxford Investments Limited. Beneficiaries may only exercise the share options following the 3rd anniversary of the grant of the options, and may exercise in full by the 10th anniversary of the grant. Further details are given below.

Options over Ordinary SharesDuring the year the following grants of options over Ordinary Shares in Westbury Street Holdings Limited were in place:

On the 15 November 2013, as part of the wider restructuring of the group, conditions were met within the option scheme rules allowing certain of the option holders to exercise their options. On 15 November 2013, 108,960 options were exercised at a market value of £33.72 per share.

Those options not held for three years were rolled into options over Preferred Ordinary Shares in Boxford Investments Limited, the ultimate parent company.

At the Balance Sheet date there were therefore no grants of options outstanding over Ordinary Shares in any group company.

Options over Preferred Ordinary SharesDuring the year the following grants of options over Preferred Ordinary Shares in Westbury Street Holdings Limited and other group companies were in place:

On the 15 November 2013, as part of the wider restructuring of the group, conditions were met within the option scheme rules allowing certain of the option holders to exercise their options. On 15 November 2013, 3,983,577 options were exercised at a market value of £33.72 per share .

Those options not held for three years were rolled into options over Preferred Ordinary Shares in Boxford Investments Limited, the ultimate parent company. The Preferred Ordinary Shares in Boxford Investments Limited differ from the Westbury Street Holdings Limited Ordinary Shares by having a dividend entitlement (assuming certain conditions are met) of 6% per annum.

The fair value of equity settled share options granted are measured by reference to the fair value of share options granted. The estimate of the fair value of the services received is measured based on a Black Scholes model.

For the options modified in the period, the fair value of each of the original awards was measured on the modification date of 15 November 2013 based on a Black Scholes model using the assumptions below for each grant date. The fair value of the modified award was measured on the modification date using an expected value basis, applying a discount rate of 0.5%. As there was no material change in value as a result of the modification, no adjustment has been recognised.

The total expenses recognised for the period arising from share based payments are as follows:

For the options granted in the period, the following assumptions have been used:
