Group Chairman’s Statement
As Fat Face celebrates its first 25 years I am delighted to report a
record year, with EBITDA 29% up on last year. The hard work of
Chief Executive Anthony Thompson and his team over the last three
years is now bearing fruit, and although there is still much to do,
the company is well positioned for continuing success.

A resilient first half was followed by a strong trading
performance over the Christmas period where the business
overall, and many established stores, achieved record results.
The momentum has continued into the new calendar year,
despite unhelpful weather conditions during the key spring
holiday periods and subdued consumer sentiment. Pleasingly,
the organisational focus on womenswear has paid off, with
exceptional results throughout the year.
We are seeing the benefits of investing in quality, style and
value for money and have restored integrity to the brand by
trading predominantly with a full price offer. E-commerce is
becoming a larger share of the business, with sales growth
of 27% during the year, with an increasing proportion from
the mobile site we launched during the year.
We continued to see excellent results from our capital
investment programme, including important resites in
Glasgow, Belfast, and Edinburgh. Meanwhile the early results
from the refit of one of our largest stores, Norwich, and the
opening of our first retail park store at Whiteley promise
further investment opportunities in the future.
‘We are seeing the benefits of investing
in quality, style and value for money
and have restored integrity to the
brand by trading predominantly
with a full price offer.’
After seven years as Chairman I will be leaving Fat Face at the
end of July. I am delighted that Sir Stuart Rose has joined the
Board and will take over as Chairman from 26 July. Stuart has
achieved great success over many years in the fashion and
retail industries, and is ideally suited to work with Anthony
and the team to take Fat Face on to the next stage in its
development. I wish him, my fellow directors and everyone
in Fat Face every success for the future.
Alan Giles
Group Chairman
Electronic Point of Sale (EPoS) systems throughout the estate
were replaced on time and within budget in the run up to
Christmas, and the extension of our distribution centre was
completed in May. Both programmes provide an important
platform for future growth. After extensive research we can
also confirm plans to open our first stores in the US as well
as the launch of a dedicated website for US customers within
18 months to two years.
Simon Greene joined the business as Retail Director in
January, and Helen Cowing joins as Chief Financial Officer in
August. Both Simon and Helen bring a wealth of experience to
their roles. Their predecessors Becky Bateman and Emily Tate
left the business during the year, and on behalf of the Board I
would like to thank them for their contribution to the business.

Business Review & Directors’ Report
Period Ended 1 June 2013
The directors present their Directors’ Report and the
audited financial statements for the 52-week period ended
1 June 2013 (2012: 53 week period ended 2 June 2012).
Business Review
Our Group
Fat Face is a UK based retailer, specialising in the design
and sale of active lifestyle clothing and related accessories.
From a few sweatshirts in 1988, 25 years later the Fat Face
brand has grown to over 200 stores in the UK and Ireland,
with a strong e-commerce and catalogue business. We
offer a wide range of premium womenswear, menswear,
childrenswear, footwear and accessories for those who
love to get out there.
Our Vision
Our vision is to ensure that “absolutely everything we
do is designed to be loved by all our customers for life
outside 9–5!”
Our Strategic Priorities
Work continued during the year to establish the future
drivers of growth for the business, as summarised below:
• UK property strategy; primarily focused on the store
opening, resite and refurbishment programme;
• Development of a differentiated multichannel offering
to customers; and
The benefits of investments in product ranges, particularly
around womenswear, have become clear with a continued
restoration of brand integrity through increased full price
trading. Additionally, further e-commerce investment,
including the launch of the new mobile site, has delivered
online sales growth of 27%. Investment in the estate
continues to be a key area for growth, with 10 new stores
(2012: 12) and 6 relocations (2012: 3) bringing the total
number of wholly-owned stores to 207, including 7 stores
in Ireland. The store portfolio continues to generate strong
positive cash flow for the Group and this year’s new stores
have shown a strong pay-back performance. As a result of the
investment in the new stores, it is pleasing to report that the
Group has created over 130 new jobs during the past year.
Costs have remained controlled with underlying cost
growth less than sales growth, leading to a 44% increase
in operating profit (2012: 32%). Fat Face remains a
highly cash generative business and made significant
improvements in working capital during the year which
resulted in free cash flow, before debt and interest
payments, of £29.6m (2012: £23.2m).
Key Performance Indicators
A summary of the Group’s KPIs are presented below:
• Research into medium term international expansion.
During the year we were delighted that our continued focus
and hard work put into our store design saw us gain industry
recognition through winning the Retail Week ‘Store Design
of the Year’ Award for our Chichester store.
We were equally pleased to gain industry recognition with
the Retail Week Technology Award for our infrastructure
investment in a new till system into all of our stores in order
to enhance our customers shopping experience and to
strengthen the platform for the Group’s multi-channel strategy.
Our Trading Performance
The positive momentum from last year continued resulting
in strong growth in the period from both the like for like
estate as well as from store openings, with sales up +9%
to £179m. To have achieved this despite the continued
challenging trading environment demonstrates the strength
of the brand, strategy and management team.

4 / Directors’ Report & Consolidated Financial Statements
Whilst we are starting to see some improvements in the
UK economy, the outlook for the year ahead remains
challenging. The market is expected to remain highly
competitive. However consumer confidence appears
to be more optimistic than 12 months ago.
Despite the market remaining highly competitive, by
continuing to focus on developing the product ranges,
strengthening margin through improved sourcing and
retaining focus on cost and cash management, Fat Face is in a
strong position to continue to grow and invest for the future.
Financial Position
The Group is in a strong financial position with Sales and
EBITDA growth year on year. The balance sheet improved
over the financial year ending with £27.4m of cash
(2012: £22.9m), cash from operating activities of £36.2m
(2012: £27.4m), with net liabilities reducing by £6.8m to
£10.3m (2012: £17.1m).
Fat Face Group is supported by financing arrangements
sourced through Fat Face World Borrowings. On 1st October
2012, the Group’s financing arrangements with its lenders
were amended to extend the tenure of the loans, provide
additional headroom and improve cashflow. The details of
this are discussed in note 17.
At 1st June 2013 the carrying value of external debt held
by the Group was £167.7m (2012: £178.3m). The Group
also benefits from access to a revolving credit facility of
£18.2m (2012: £18.9m) from which the £0.7m (2012: £1.4m)
capex facility is drawn. The remaining facility available at
1st June 2013 was £17.5m (2012: £17.5m) and includes an
ancillary facility which provides the Group with an overdraft,
guarantee and supplier credit facilities for the day to day
operations of the Group. The Group facilities and borrowings
are denominated in Sterling, and to a lesser extent Euros.
Repayments of £17.9m were made against the Group’s
external debt during the year (2012: £8.6m).
Proposed Dividend
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend
(2012: nil).
Principal Risks
and Uncertainties
Trading Risk
The retail sector has continued to face difficult market
conditions. However, by focusing on our core strengths and
continuing to invest in the business, the Group has seen
strong performance in a difficult market and the Group
has many opportunities to improve performance further.
Exchange Risk
The Group is significantly reliant on production overseas
with substantial creditors denominated in US dollars and,
to a lesser extent, Euros. The Group arranges currency
hedge instruments to manage the foreign currency risk
in accordance with its treasury policy. Under this policy,
the Group ensures that at least 90% of significant foreign
currency exposures are protected by hedging arrangements
at all times.
Euro-denominated sales are more than sufficient to offset the
exchange risk arising from purchases and debt denominated
in Euros. The excess Euro cash generated from sales is not
sufficient to represent a material risk to the business and has
been reduced in the financial year as a result of part of the
debt being retranslated into Euros (see note 17).
Financial Risk
Fat Face manages its exposure to interest rate risk by the
use of an interest rate cap covering most of its variable rate
debt. This expires in 2015. In addition, detailed reporting and
cash forecasting ensures that liquidity is maintainable into
the medium term.
Fat Face’s external financing arrangements include
conventional covenant tests as is customary with
agreements of this type. The performance against those
tests is measured on a quarterly basis and management
maintains ongoing forecasts of performance to ensure that
all tests can be met. All covenant tests were comfortably met
during the period.
Liability Risk
Fat Face maintains usual commercial insurance policies for
a business of this type and undertakes a critical review of
all coverage limits and the applicability of deductibles and
franchises during each annual review process.
5 / Directors’ Report & Consolidated Financial Statements
SECTION ONE ~ Business Review
Outlook ~ trends and factors
affecting future performance
In addition to the risks above, the Board has a policy of ongoing identification and review of key business risks, which
may restrict or seriously impact the ability of the Group to
carry on its operations or may damage the brand.
• no forced labour;
These are monitored via the risk register. The directors
oversee the development of internal control processes
to ensure that these risks are managed appropriately.
Executive directors and operational management are
delegated with the task of implementing these processes
and reporting to the Board on their outcomes.
• health and safety policies must be established
and enforced.
Topics included on the register or which are reviewed
regularly by the Board include:
Health and Safety
The directors recognise the importance of health and safety
at work. The health and safety of the employees, customers,
contractors, sites and equipment is of great importance.
There is a comprehensive structure of processes and
procedures to mitigate the health and safety risk, including
risk assessments, accident reporting and nominated health
and safety representatives across the business. Policies and
procedures are reviewed and audited regularly to make
safety management more robust and fully up to date.
Ethical Trading
With a large global supplier base, the directors recognise
that there is a potential risk that certain suppliers may not
work within the required ethical standards of Fat Face. This
could result in a poor perception of the Group in the market
and could have a negative impact on the brand. Fat Face has
developed an ethical trading policy with which it ensures
that all suppliers are in agreement. It is also a member of the
Ethical Trading Initiative. For further details please refer to
the Corporate Social Responsibility section of this report.
The Group would like to confirm that it has signed up to the
recent Ethical Trading Initiative endorsed Accord following
the recent disaster in Bangladesh.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Suppliers
Fat Face’s supplier base is crucial to meeting our required
quality and ethical standards and ensuring that the product
is available on time. Through a combination of extending the
supplier base and managing the existing suppliers, the Group
is able to reduce any over-reliance on particular suppliers and
improve on the competitiveness of the product.
Fat Face continues to ensure that all suppliers are aware of
and agree to its ethical and operating standards. In addition
to ensuring that all local laws are adhered to, these require:
• remuneration for employees must be fair and
commensurate with the work undertaken;
• children may not be employed;
• no inappropriate disciplinary practices;
• freedom of association for all employees; and
To underpin the Group’s commitment in this area, Fat Face
is a member of the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI). Under this
initiative, the Group agrees to audit the ethical standards of
its suppliers and make the results of these audits available
to other members. Equally, Fat Face is able to access
the investigations carried out by other members into its
current and potential suppliers. During the year the Group
maintained its “Achiever” status by the ETI (2012: “Achiever”).
The India satellite office enables management to maintain
a close link with local suppliers in India and Bangladesh.
In addition to having a constant presence in this important
location to the Group, head office management make
regular visits to the site which allows the Group to directly
manage any associated risk.
Employees
Fat Face is committed to providing equal opportunities
across our workforce, be it through recruitment, promotion,
development or benefits. We work as one team, striving to
achieve the vision and values; encouraging and recognising
individual initiative and respecting individual contributions.
Our aim is to make Fat Face a place where people are able to
develop their full potential, learn from their experience and
have fun doing it.
It is the policy of Fat Face to provide employment and
development opportunities to persons regardless of age,
race, colour, religion, sex, sexual preference, marital status,
nationality, ethnic origin or disability. It is Group policy
to wherever possible retain in employment employees
who become disabled, providing retraining opportunities
where appropriate.
Environment
Fat Face continually reviews its production processes to
ensure that it produces high quality product in ways that
reduce the impact on the environment. The Group recycled
413 (2012: 386) tonnes of cardboard out of Fat Base (Head
Office) and plastic out of many of its stores.
Fat Face continues to encourage better waste management
and energy efficiency around the business, continuing
to invest in smart meters across the estate to measure
emissions within stores. This provides information to stores
allowing them to control their energy usage more efficiently.
The Group also tries wherever possible to ensure that
the electrical supply comes from green energy or energy
efficient sources.
All product suppliers are required to have an environmental
policy signed by their Chief Executive.
• no discrimination on the basis of race, gender,
religion or ethnic background;

Fat Face Foundation
This year is the 4th year of operation
of the Fat Face Foundation. This is a

protecting the environment, as well as giving people the
opportunity to undertake a wide variety of charitable

the following:
• MCS - Donations were awarded to the ‘Big Sea Swim 2012’
campaign of the Marine Conservation Society (MCS).

our seas and also raised further funds to help MCS
continue its conservation work.
• Waveney Stardust – Broadland waterway cruising for the
disabled and elderly, enabling people to enjoy the Norfolk
and Suffolk waterways.

both in respect of employment and social responsibility. We
encourage our employees to take part in various community
initiatives and charity events. This year employees have
taken part in various events, including the Great South Run,
a swim across the Channel and a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Our design team is also working with colleagues offering
students the opportunity to gain some work experience
designing their own prints. This will be running for the first

Non-Executive Directors
Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities
in Respect of the Directors’ Report and the Financial Statements
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law

Company law requires the directors to prepare group and parent company financial statements for each financial year. Under
that law, they have elected to prepare both the Group and the parent company financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU 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 Group and parent company and of their profit or loss for that period.
In preparing each of the Group and parent company 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 they have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU;
• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and the
parent company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group and
parent company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and parent
company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They have general
responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the group and to prevent and
detect fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(forming part of the Financial Statements)
1. Accounting Policies
Fat Face Group Limited (the ‘Company’) is a company
incorporated in the UK.
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the
Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the
‘Group’). The parent company financial statements present
information about the Company as a separate entity and
not about its Group.
Both the parent company financial statements and the
Group financial statements have been prepared and
approved by the directors in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU
(‘Adopted IFRSs’). On publishing the parent company
financial statements here together with the Group financial
statements, the Company is taking advantage of the
exemption in s408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to
present its individual income statement and related notes
that form a part of these approved financial statements.
Except for the revisions to IAS 24 which have been adopted
in these financial statements, there were no other new
accounting policies or amendments that became effective
for the first time in the financial year that are considered to
impact upon these financial statements, nor are there any
new standards to be adopted next year that are expected
to have a material impact on the financial statements.
The accounting policies set out below have, unless
otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods
presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Judgements made by the directors, in the application of
these accounting policies that have significant effect on
the financial statements and estimates with a significant
risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed
in notes 10, 19 and 20, and in the lives of intangible assets
as noted below.
Measurement convention
The financial statements are prepared on an historical cost
basis with the exception of derivative financial instruments
which are stated at their fair value.
Basis of consolidation – subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control
exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly,
to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so
as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control,
potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or
convertible are taken into account. The financial statements
of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date that control commences until the
date that control ceases.
Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the
foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the
foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange
differences arising on translation are recognised in the
income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rate at the
date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair
value are translated at foreign exchange rates ruling at
the date of transaction the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences related to qualifying hedges are taken
directly to the translation reserve. They are released into the
income statement upon disposal.
Where the Group holds applicable hedged positions, the
accounting policy is reported below.
20 / Directors’ Report & Consolidated Financial Statements
Currencies
The Group uses Sterling as its presentational currency
and all values have been rounded to the nearest thousand
unless otherwise stated. The Company’s functional currency
is Sterling.
Going concern
In adopting the going concern basis for preparing the
financial statements, the directors have considered the
principal activities as well as the business risks as set out
on pages 4 to 6. For further details of the assessment of the
going concern principle please refer to the Directors’ report.
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments
in equity and debt securities, cash and cash equivalents, and
loans and borrowings.
Investments in debt and equity securities
Investments in debt and equity securities held by the
Company are stated at the lower of original cost and fair
value with any resultant cumulative impairment losses
recognised in profit or loss. Where these investments are
interest-bearing, interest calculated using the effective
interest method is recognised in profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call
deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and
form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are
included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for
the purpose of the statement of cash flows only.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated
or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss at that point
remains in equity and is recognised in accordance with the
above policy when the transaction occurs. If the hedged
transaction is no longer expected to take place,
the cumulative unrealised gain or loss in equity is
recognised in the income statement immediately.
Classification of financial instruments
Financial instruments often consist of a combination of debt
and equity and the Group has to decide how to attribute
values to each. Instruments are treated as equity only to
the extent that they meet the following two conditions:
(a) where the instrument includes no contractual
obligations upon the Group to deliver cash or other
financial assets or to exchange financial assets or
financial liabilities with another party under conditions
that are potentially unfavourable to the Group; and
(b) where the instrument will or may be settled in the
Group’s own equity instruments, it is either a nonderivative that includes no obligation to deliver a
variable number of the Group’s own equity instruments,
or is a derivative that will be settled by the Group
exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial
assets for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.
To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of
issue are classified as a financial liability, and where such
an instrument takes the legal form of the company’s own
shares, the amounts presented in these financial statements
for called up share capital and share premium account
exclude amounts in relation to those shares.
Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised at amortised
cost plus accumulated unpaid interest costs incurred.
Property, plant and equipment
Derivative financial instruments
and hedging
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment
have different useful lives, they are accounted for as
separate items of property, plant and equipment.
Cash flow hedges
Where a derivative financial instrument is designated as
a hedge of the variability in cash flows of a recognised
asset or liability, or a highly probable forecast transaction,
the effective part of any gain or loss on the derivative
financial instrument is recognised directly in the hedging
reserve. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is recognised
immediately in the income statement.
For cash flow hedges, the associated cumulative gain or
loss is removed from equity and recognised in the income
statement in the same period or periods during which the
hedged forecast transaction affects profit or loss.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less the
estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets by equal
instalments over their estimated useful economic lives
as follows:
Freehold buildings
Leasehold land and buildings
2% per annum
Life of lease
Equipment and fixtures:
Computer and communications equipment
33%
Shopfit, fixtures and fittings,
furniture, mannequins
20%
Plant and machinery
25%
Motor vehicles
25%
Assets in the course of construction are not depreciated.
Assets in the course of construction refers to expenditure on
new stores not yet trading. On-going refurbishment projects
in respect of existing stores are charged directly into the
appropriate asset categories.
21 / Directors’ Report & Consolidated Financial Statements
SECTION THREE ~ Notes
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair
value. The gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is
recognised immediately in the income statement. However,
where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition
of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the
item being hedged (see below).
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
1. Accounting Policies (continued)
Lease incentives
Intangible assets and goodwill
All business combinations are accounted for by applying
the purchase method. Goodwill represents amounts
arising on acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and
jointly controlled entities being the difference between
the cost of the acquisition and the net fair value of the
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities
acquired. Identifiable intangibles are those which can be
sold separately or which arise from legal rights regardless
of whether those rights are separable.
Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment
losses. Goodwill is not amortised but is tested annually
for impairment.
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group
are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses.
Internally generated intangible assets arising from the
group’s development activities are recognised only when
all of the following conditions are met:
– an asset is created and can be identified;
– the development costs of the asset can be
measured reliably.
Where these conditions are met the cost of the asset
comprise of the external direct costs of goods, and services,
in addition to internal payroll related costs for employees
who are directly associated with the project.
Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets unless such lives are indefinite. Intangible assets
with an indefinite useful life and goodwill are systematically
tested for impairment at each balance sheet date. Property
leases are valued against their estimated marketability and
an impairment charge is recorded if appropriate. Other
intangible assets are amortised from the date they are
available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Over the registered life
Trademarks – Internally
generated value
2%
Customer lists
Software and licences
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised at face value.
Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Company’s and the Group’s
assets other than inventories and deferred tax assets are
reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether
there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication
exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying
amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its
recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in
the income statement.
The results of the impairment review on groups of assets are
disclosed in the relevant notes below.
Interest-bearing borrowings
– it is probable that the asset will generate future
economic benefit; and
Trademarks acquired
Contributions received from landlords are deemed to be
incentives and as such are recognised as deferred income
and subsequently released over the life of the lease.
25%
Over the estimated useful life
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised at their nominal
amount less any impairment losses and provisions for bad
and doubtful debts.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable
value. Cost is based on the weighted average principle and
includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories
and bringing them to their existing location and condition.
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at
fair value being proceeds less attributable transaction
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing
borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference
between cost and redemption value being recognised in the
income statement over the period of the borrowings on an
effective interest basis.
The effective interest basis is the implicit interest rate which,
over the life of an investment or liability, will compound to
the expected final asset or liability value, including all of the
costs and revenues expected from that asset or liability over
its life. Debt instruments issued by Group companies that
are held by other Group companies are reported net in these
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Debt modification/cancellation
If the Group modifies its debt arrangements, it considers
how substantive the change is in determining the
appropriate accounting. This includes both qualitative
analysis, and quantitative analysis of the level of change
in the cash flows of the new and old arrangements.
Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
The Group operates a defined contribution pension
plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into
a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive
obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for
contributions to defined contribution pension plans
are recognised as an expense in the income statement
as incurred.
22 / Directors’ Report & Consolidated Financial Statements
Share-based payment transactions
Some employees of Fat Face Limited, an indirect subsidiary,
have been granted shares in the Company. In these
consolidated financial statements the fair value of shares
acquired is recognised as an employee expense with a
corresponding increase in equity. The company financial
statements also record an increase in investment in

Non recurring items
Non recurring items comprise of material items of income and
expense which are not considered to be part of the normal
operations of the company. These are separately disclosed on
the face of the income statement in arriving at operating profit
to assist with the understanding of the financial statements.
The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the
period during which the employees became unconditionally
entitled to the fair value of the shares. The fair value of the
shares acquired is measured using an EBITDA multiple,
taking into account the terms and conditions upon which
the shares were granted. The amount recognised as an
expense is adjusted to reflect the forecast number of shares
expected to be forfeit without reaching full fair value.
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the
Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a
result of a past event, that can be reliably measured and
it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation.
For the tranches of C2 shares issued in 2010, the directors
of the Company considered that the fair value could not
be estimated reliably. In accordance with IFRS2 the Group
adopted the intrinsic value methodology for these shares,
whereby the intrinsic value of this share based payment
is re-measured at each reporting date, with changes
recognised in profit or loss until the instrument is settled.
All other C2 shares are accounted for as normal equity
settled arrangements under IFRS2.
Revenue
Revenue represents the invoiced amounts of goods sold
and services provided during the period, stated net of value
added tax.
Revenue arising from the sale of gift vouchers and gift
cards is deferred and recognised at the point of redemption.
Revenue arising from wholesale is recognised when invoiced.
Operating lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the
income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the income
statement as an integral part of the total lease expense.
Net financing costs
Net financing costs comprise interest payable, finance
charges on finance leases, interest receivable on funds
invested and foreign exchange gains and losses that are
recognised in the income statement. Interest income and
interest payable is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues,
using the effective interest method.
The onerous leases provision is made to cover the costs of
vacant or sublet properties, where the cost of serving the
head lease is not covered by the sublease income.
Taxation
Tax on the profit or loss for the period comprises current
and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised
directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable
income for the period, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any
adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation
purposes. The following temporary differences are not
provided for:
• the initial recognition of goodwill;
• the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect
neither accounting nor taxable profit other than in a
business combination; and
• differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to
the extent that they will probably not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the
expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profits will be available against
which the assets can be utilised.

The Finance Act 2012, which provides for a reduction in the main rate of corporation tax from 24% to 23% effective from 1 April
2013, was substantively enacted on 3 July 2012. This rate reduction has been reflected in the calculation of deferred tax at the
balance sheet date.
The Government intends to enact a future reduction in the main tax rate down to 20% by 1 April 2015. As this tax rate was
not substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, the rate reduction is not yet reflected in these financial statements in
accordance with IAS 10, as it is a non-adjusting event occurring after the reporting period.

Goodwill represents amounts arising on the acquisitions of subsidiaries, being the difference between the cost of the acquisition
and the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. This will include the value of the
workforce in place, the future marketability of the brand, represented by potential income streams not yet being exploited, and the
synergies arising from the utilisation of the Group’s assets as a whole, over and above their individual value-generating capacity.
The assessment of trade mark valuation has been determined internally using a method based on a 6% (2012: 6%) discounted
future notional royalty stream. The customer file has been valued internally using market rates for customer list rental. A discount
rate of 12% (2012: 12%) has been used, which was based on an industry standard average weighted cost of capital.
Amortisation Charge
The amortisation charge is recognised in the following line items in the income statement:
Depreciation and amortisation of trading assets
Amortisation of non-trading intangibles

Impairment testing
Discount rate
The Group’s management has reviewed the carrying value of
goodwill for possible impairment based on the group of cash
generating units which comprise the lowest level at which
goodwill is monitored. This is equivalent to the business as
a whole. As in previous years, the Group’s management has
determined that the income approach (which is equivalent
to utilising the ‘value in use’ valuation technique) is the most
appropriate method for valuing the business at the current
stage of its development in the present market. The Group’s
management does not believe an impairment of the goodwill
in the business is required (2012: nil).
The Group’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as
adjusted for a market based interest rate and capital structure
has been used as a discount rate in the calculation, adjusted
to arrive at a pre tax rate. The pre tax discount rate, the rate
stakeholders could reasonably expect as an average return
for their investment, has been estimated at 14% (2012: 14%).
Income stream forecasts
The key revenue driver for the business will continue to
be the development of the retail portfolio. The directors
believe that there is significant capacity for growth through
improving sales densities, relocating and refitting stores in
successful markets and expanding the portfolio. However,
longer term forecasts are inherently less reliable and the
impairment assessment consequently includes very prudent
growth assumptions beyond 2016.
This calculation has been built up by comparing the equity
returns expected from a range of similar companies, both UK
and overseas, and adjusting this for specific Group factors
such as debt structure, company size, and the effects of a
private, rather than public, equity structure.
Sensitivity
The key assumptions as noted above are net operating
cash flows generated and the WACC used. A decrease in net
operating cash flows in each year of 1% would reduce the
valuation of the business by approximately £3m. An increase
in the WACC from 14% to 15% would reduce the valuation of
the business by approximately £20m but would not trigger
any impairment charges.
Cost growth forecasts
Costs are assumed to grow at a reasonable rate to support
the continued expansion.

The directors have reviewed the carrying value of the loan notes issued by Fat Face World Investments Limited as part of the
overall valuation of the Group. The underlying operating performance of the Group remains strong with forecasts showing that
external bank debt will continue to be repaid. However, there remains doubt over the subsidiary’s ability to make full repayment
to the Company, therefore there has been no reversal of previous impairments. Whilst there are strong indications that direct/
indirect subsidiaries will be able to repay most of the debt with the Company, due to the sensitivities around this no reversal of
previous impairments has been made. The Group and Company have the following investments in subsidiaries:

Inventory provisions comprise amounts in respect of inventories expected to be sold at less than cost price, together with an
estimate of inventory shrinkage. The value of inventories expected to be sold at less than cost price is determined based on
historic cost, current sales price, together with volumes held. The estimate of inventory shrinkage is calculated based on historic
data of levels of inventory adjustments not recognised through the stock take process.

Prepayments
As at 1 June 2013, £94,000 (2012: £382,000) of the other short term trade receivables balance was overdue. In the month
following the year end over half of the overdue balance was recovered. Receivables of £59,000 (2012: £54,000) have been
provided against at the end of the period.
Of trade receivables, 100% (2012: 100%) are in respect of UK debtors. Trade receivables mostly arise from the Company’s
wholesale operations. No collateral is held against the outstanding amounts and no other amounts are past due except as
disclosed. The maximum credit risk from financial assets is £448,000 (2012: £761,000).
Prepayments relating to expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining the Fat Face Employee Benefit Trust (the EBT) are nil
(2012: £192,000). The EBT is operated as an independent trust, separately from the management structure of the Fat Face group
of companies and it has therefore not been consolidated into these results.
All group receivables are recoverable on demand. In the Company accounts, management has analysed forecast future cash
flows of the Group in determining that group receivables are recoverable. Other receivables are expected to be recovered within
12 months.

Following negotiations with its lenders, on 1st October 2012 the Company entered into revised banking facilities. The principal
changes to the facilities were as follows:
• Senior facility A maturity of 31 July 2014 extended to 30 June 2016.
• Senior facility B maturity of 17 May 2015 extended to 31 December 2016.
• Second lien maturity of 17 November 2015 extended to 17 November 2017.
• Portion of senior facility B and second lien has been redenominated into Euros.
• Senior facility A margin for PIK has decreased by 0.9%.
• Senior facility B margins have increased by 1.125% cash paid and 0.625% PIK.
• Financial covenants have been reset to provide additional headroom.
Upon completion of the revision to the banking facilities, the Group assessed this modification and determined the modification
was substantive. Accordingly the modification was treated as the extinguishment of the old debt, and the issue of new debt.
Therefore brought forward unamortised costs of £1,781,000 were written off in the period and £1,433,350 (2012: £nil) of costs
associated with the issue of debt facilities was capitalised and will be amortised over the life of the associated debt. Of the total
debt costs capitalised to date £596,775 (2012: £1,522,000) was amortised in the period of which £304,667 related to the brought
forward debt and £292,108 related to the new debt.
33 / Directors’ Report & Consolidated Financial Statements
SECTION THREE ~ Notes
• Revolving facility maturity of 17 May 2015 extended to 30 June 2016.
17. Other Interest-Bearing Loans and Borrowings (continued)
Repayments of £17.9m were made against the Group’s external debt during the year (2012: £8.6m). The Group’s banking facilities
include a £18.2m revolving credit facility from which the capex facility loan above is drawn. Of the remaining £17.5m, Fat Face
Limited, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, has drawn £10m under an Ancillary Facilities agreement. This provides overdraft,
guarantee, and supplier credit facilities for the day-to-day operations of the Group. The Group has paid a non-utilisation fee of 1%
on the remaining £7.5m revolving credit facility plus any unutilised portion of the Ancillary Facilities Agreement.
The Group’s banking facilities are subject to EBITDA, interest and cash cover covenants typical for borrowings of this nature.
All covenants were met comfortably throughout the year.
All of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company are obligors and joint guarantors of the Group’s banking facilities.
The Group has entered into a security document which comprises fixed and floating charges over the Group’s assets, together
with assignments (by way of security) of insurance policies, specified bank accounts and certain specified contracts.
All group term facilities and borrowings are denominated in Sterling, and to a lesser extent Euros. All term facilities and
borrowings are carried at face value net of unamortised acquisition costs plus (where applicable) accumulated unpaid dividends
and interest.
Some of the Group’s subsidiaries (including the principal operating company) have entered into long-standing security
documents in favour of the banking syndicate which comprise fixed and floating charges over each company’s assets, together
with assignments (by way of security) of insurance policies, specified bank accounts and certain specified contracts.
The term loans include £29.6m (2012: £12.0m) of debt held by 101 Investments Nominees No.1 Limited, which is an affiliate of
Bridgepoint, and Hamilton Lane Inc, which is a shareholder of the Group. This debt is on the same terms as that held by other lenders.
The Group has issued loan notes in the year to the sum of £1.0m (2012: £152k) in respect of interest which would otherwise have
been payable to 101 Investments Nominees No.1 Limited, and £39k (2012:£nil) in respect of interest which would otherwise have
been payable to Hamilton Lane inc.
Company
The Company incurred no costs associated with the establishment of new debt facilities during the period (2012: nil).

All group payables are payable on demand. Other payables are expected to be paid within 12 months.
34 / Directors’ Report & Consolidated Financial Statements
19. Employee Benefits
Defined contribution plans
The Group operates a defined contribution pension plan.
The total expense relating to this plan in the current year was £159,000 (2012: £96,000). The total owed by the plan at the end of
the year was £1,000 (2012: £9,000 owed to the plan).
Share-based payments
Senior management of Fat Face Limited are invited to become shareholders in the ultimate parent. ‘C2’ ordinary shares and
‘C1A’ ordinary shares are offered at a price reflecting the performance and future prospects of the business. An earlier incentive
scheme offered ‘B’ ordinary shares on a similar basis.
The Articles of Association of the ultimate parent (‘the Articles’) define ‘Good Leavers’ and ‘Bad Leavers’, where a ‘Bad Leaver’ is an
employee-shareholder leaving the business because of voluntary resignation or termination in circumstances justifying summary
dismissal. All other employee-shareholders leaving the business are ‘Good Leavers’. On leaving the business, the Articles require
that a Bad Leaver surrenders their ‘B’, ‘C1A’ and ‘C2’ ordinary shares at the lower of fair value and the cost for which the shares
were acquired.
On leaving the business, the Articles require that a Good Leaver sells their ‘B’, ‘C1A’ and ‘C2’ ordinary shares as directed by the
majority investors at a value between cost and fair value calculated by reference to length of service.
It is expected that the shares will be surrendered to other employee-shareholders in the business.
The benefits of share grant are estimated by using an EBITDA multiple applied to the then current estimate for the results of
the Group at the expected time of realisation of the share value as a proxy for an option pricing model. The multiple has been
determined by reference to market values for similar businesses.

For the tranches of C2 shares issued in 2010, the directors of the Group considered that the fair value could not be estimated
reliably. In accordance with IFRS2 the Group adopted the intrinsic value methodology for these shares, whereby the intrinsic
value of this share based payment is re-measured at each reporting date, with changes recognised in profit or loss until the
instrument is settled. All other C2 shares are accounted for as normal equity settled arrangements under IFRS2.
As set out above, the directors consider the charge based on the fair value of the C2 share based payment under this
methodology to be £530,000 per annum (2012: £800,000).

The onerous leases provision is made to cover the costs of vacant or sublet properties, where the cost of serving the head lease is
not covered by the sublease income. The dilapidations provision is made to cover the cost of returning properties to the condition
required by the lease on exit and is based on the management’s assessment of the store relocation programme and the current
state of properties in the Group’s portfolio.

meetings of the Company.
During the period, the C1 class of shares were split into 2 new share classes, C1A and C1B. At the time of this change, each C1
shareholder was given 1 C1A share and 1 C1B share for each of their C1 shares with no additional cash consideration paid.
Cash flow hedging reserve
The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging
instruments related to hedged transactions that have not yet occurred – see note 22.
37 / Directors’ Report & Consolidated Financial Statements
SECTION THREE ~ Notes
During the prior period, the Company issued C2 shares for a total consideration of £130. No additional C2 shares were issued
during this financial period.
22. Financial Instruments
22(a) Fair values of financial instruments
Investments in debt and equity securities
Investments in subsidiary companies are carried at acquisition cost and reviewed for impairment. There has been no impairment
in 2013, as discussed in note 11.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are carried at recoverable amount, less provisions for any amounts where recovery is doubtful. All
trade and other receivables are expected to be short term and therefore no discounting of value is appropriate.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at the face value payable. All trade and other payables are expected to be short term and
therefore no discounting of future cash flows is appropriate.
Cash and cash equivalents
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is estimated at its carrying amount.
Interest-bearing borrowings
Fair value which, after initial recognition is determined for disclosure purposes only, is calculated based on the range of values at
which debt is being traded in the secondary market and is shown as a mid-point of that expected range.
Derivative financial instruments
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is estimated by reference to the difference between the contractual forward price
and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract. The contracts are a level 2 fair value instrument in terms of
the Fair Value hierarchy.
The fair value of the interest rate cap is based on broker quotes. Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting
estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for a similar
instrument at the measurement date. The cap is a level 2 fair value instrument in terms of the Fair Value hierarchy.
The fair values for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities together with their carrying amounts shown in the balance
sheet are as follows:

Liabilities
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Trade and other payables
The fair value of the term borrowings was calculated with reference to observable market rates where these have been available.
Company
The Company holds no material balances of this nature other than inter-company balances, which are not subject to a fair value adjustment.
22(b) Credit risk
Group
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities.
The Group’s operations are principally retail and so the exposure to credit risk is minimal. The Group periodically reviews its
receivables and makes appropriate allowances where recovery is deemed to be doubtful.
The allowance account for trade receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the
amount owing is possible; at that point the amounts considered irrecoverable are written off against the trade receivables directly.
Company
The Company has no material external credit risk.
38 / Directors’ Report & Consolidated Financial Statements
22. Financial Instruments (continued)
22(c) Liquidity risk
Group
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The £10m Ancillary Facility
(see note 17), is a working capital facility providing cash facilities for several Group companies and funds the day-to-day overdraft
as and when required.
The Group retains ample headroom in its available working capital with an unutilised facility of £7.5m (2012: £7.5m). In the year
ended 1 June 2013 this facility was not utilised (2012: nil).
The directors believe that the Group will be able to continue to meet its need for liquidity from these facilities. The Group monitors its
headroom daily, forecasts its cash flow on a daily basis for approximately three months ahead and monthly for approximately a year
ahead, and monitors monthly its exposure to banking covenants in order to ensure that there are no unforeseen liquidity problems.
At the period end, the Group had £0.9m (2012: £0.9m) of letters of credit in issue which were not yet payable. These were all
expected to fall due within one year and are not included in the balance sheet liabilities figure.
Company
The Company has no third party debt and therefore no material liquidity risk. Long term liabilities are not expected to fall payable
in the foreseeable future and current liabilities are substantially payable to Group companies.

22(d) Cash flow hedges – Group
Foreign currency risk
The Group imports finished goods from overseas, some
of which are settled in US dollars. In accordance with the
Group’s Treasury Policy, the Group manages the risk of
foreign exchange fluctuations through foreign exchange
forward contracts and options.
The total purchase in USD for each season is estimated in
advance. The Group takes a contract allowing the purchase
of that quantity of dollars between a range of dates at a
fixed dollar rate. As US dollar payments are made, dollars
are called down from those contracts to cover the exposure.
Although at the time of purchase, fixed orders have not been
placed for product, the expected payment profile can be
predicted with a high degree of accuracy.
Due to the variability of exchange rates, the Group takes a
succession of smaller dollar contracts to benefit from dayto-day fluctuations in rates. These have been combined with
upper and lower triggers in order to ensure that the Group’s
exchange risk is still controlled.
Interest rate
In order to manage the risk of interest rate fluctuations, the
Group has in place an interest rate cap covering approximately
66% of the Group’s term facilities (2012: 71%). The settlement
dates for the interest rate cap coincide with the expected
maturity dates for the Group’s term debts (substantially every
month) and consequently the hedge is effective. The current
rate caps LIBOR at 5% and remaining at this rate through to
the maturity date of the cap.
Fair value is determined by obtaining a market price
valuation from the relevant broker.
Principal Value
Capped LIBOR
Fair value
5.0%
£748
£99,451,000
This contract has been tested and proved to be effective and
therefore meets the requirements for hedge accounting.
The effect of the hedged interest rate is released to the profit
and loss account as interest costs are incurred. Cash flow is
affected on each settlement date.
Fair value is determined by obtaining a market price
valuation from the relevant broker.
As at 1 June 2013, the Group had fixed forward cover contracts
in place in respect of $18m expiring by 15 November 2013
with a fair value gain of £345,947. The Group also had options
in place in respect of $2.5m expiring by 15 October 2013 with
a fair value gain of £21,195.
Management have tested the effectiveness of these
hedging relationships and concluded that they meet the
requirements for hedge accounting. The effect of the hedged
exchange rate is released to the profit and loss account as
the purchases are made. No further impact to cash flow is
expected. Some goods are purchased denominated in euros.
However, since the Group also has sales operations in the
euro-zone, further hedging is not required.

22(e) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the
Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
Group
The Group uses interest rate and forward exchange hedges to manage its exposure to changes in these market values as
discussed above.
Aside from changes that are reflected in those variables, the Group has only limited exposure to changes in raw material prices
since these represent a relatively small part of the business’s costs. UK labour costs tend to follow UK inflation rates and can
therefore be reflected in selling prices and overseas labour costs to be relatively inflexible to the extent that they are passed on
to UK distributors.
Fat Face monitors its pricing proposition against major competitors.
Company
As explained in note 17, the Company has a liability to pay an exit fee to the senior facility A debt holders on the sale or flotation of
the Group. This fee will be based on the equity value of the business at that time after the satisfaction of all preferential claims and
will therefore reflect the expected improvements in the Group’s results over the medium term.
An exit resulting in the payment of an exit fee is not expected in the near term. The directors have determined that the fair value of
this fee measured through the income statement is currently £2,507,620 (2012: £3,107,620). This is re-measured on an annual basis.
Market risk – Foreign currency risk
Group
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is as follows. This is based on the carrying amount for monetary financial
instruments except derivatives when it is based on notional amounts.

Sensitivity analysis
In managing currency risks the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the Company and Group’s earnings.
The impact of a movement of 100 basis points in exchange rates has been quantified and is not a material amount. Over the longerterm, however, permanent changes in foreign exchange would have an impact on consolidated earnings. This impact would be
mitigated by many factors both internal and external, making it impossible to estimate the final size of that impact reliably.
22. Financial Instruments (continued)
22(e) Market Risk (continued)
Market risk – interest rate risk
Profile
At the balance sheet date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was as described in note 17.
Sensitivity analysis
A change of 100 basis points in interest rates applied to the Group’s borrowings as at the balance sheet date would increase or
decrease profit or loss for a full year by £1.1m (2012: £0.1m). The Group’s interest rate hedge is expected to be fully effective, and
therefore there should be no additional impact on equity.
22(f) Capital Management
The directors of the Company manage working capital in order to facilitate the ongoing trade and expansion of the Group.
In determining sources of capital the directors consider with regard to the best interests of shareholders the availability of
capital, the cost of capital instruments, including the likely tax impact, and market conditions at the time.
