Operations

The Group currently has seventeen operating restaurants, which operate under the Richoux, Friendly Phil's and Villagio brands. Further details on each of the brands are set out below.

During the first half, we have focused on improving our restaurant teams, food and premises, as well as laying the foundations for significant improvements in our digital capabilities. We have modernised our Richoux restaurants whilst staying true to our traditional heritage, and have rebranded our Dean's Diners into our new Friendly Phil's format.

We successfully disposed of three underperforming units during the period, and have disposed of a further two since the period end.

Richoux

Richoux is an all day cafe and brasserie established in London in 1909.

The Group has six Richoux restaurants - in Knightsbridge, Mayfair, Piccadilly, Gloucester Arcade, Port Solent and Chislehurst. The Port Solent and Chislehurst restaurants were previously Villagio restaurants and were converted into Richoux restaurants in February and March 2017 respectively. The restaurant in St John's Wood closed in May 2017 when the restaurant lease ended. The restaurants in Gloucester Arcade, Knightsbridge and Piccadilly were refurbished in May, June and July 2017 respectively.

Friendly Phil's

Friendly Phil's is a vintage American Diner.

The Group currently has six Friendly Phil's restaurants, in Hempstead Valley which opened in March 2017, Port Solent which opened in April 2017, Chatham which opened in May 2017, Braintree which opened in May 2017, Canterbury which opened in May 2017 and Fareham which opened in June 2017. These restaurants were previously Dean's Diner restaurants apart from Canterbury which was a Zintino restaurant.

The restaurant in Bicester was sold in January 2017, the lease for the restaurant in Orpington was surrendered in April 2017, the restaurant in Trowbridge was sold in September 2017 and the lease for the restaurant in Yate was surrendered in September 2017.

Italian restaurants

The Group currently has four Villagio restaurants in Andover, Basildon, Hammersmith, and Chatham. The restaurant in High Wycombe was sold at the end of January 2017.

The Group also has one Italian restaurant trading as Zippers Bar, Restaurant and Grill in Chatham.

Capital expenditure and cash flow

As at the end of the period under review the Group held cash of GBP4.73 million (December 2016: GBP3.86 million).

Capital expenditure of GBP3.71 million was incurred in the period; on the rebranding and refurbishment of the existing restaurants.

Outlook

Over the last six months we have continued to refresh our estate, and have focussed on restaurant design, food and service quality. We have experienced some growth in trade of the rebranded restaurants but, in line with the industry, not at the level we had hoped for and we currently see no consistent improvement in trading conditions from those prevailing when we last reported in April this year.

Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible fixed assets

Goodwill of GBP264,000 (2016: GBP269,000) relates to the acquisition of Richoux Limited in August 2000 and is allocated to the group of cash generating units (CGUs) that comprise the business acquired with each restaurant site being treated as a single CGU.

The Group tests annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indications that the goodwill and intangible assets may be impaired. The recoverable amounts of the restaurants are calculated from value in use calculations based on cash flow projections from forecasts to December 2022 based on a sales growth rate of 2 per cent for established sites. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 10 per cent.

The Board has concluded that at this time no impairment provision is required (December 2016: GBP4,000).

Impairment testing of property, plant and equipment

The Group considers each trading restaurant to be a cash-generating unit (CGU) and each CGU is reviewed when there are indications of impairment.

The recoverable amounts of the restaurants are calculated from value in use calculations based on cash flow projections from forecasts to December 2022 based on a sales growth rate of 2 per cent for established sites. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 10 per cent.

The Board has concluded that at this time no impairment provision is required (December 2016: GBP5,039,000).
