Chairman's statement
Introduction
The Group is currently trading from 60 restaurants; 54 Wildwood and 6 dim t restaurants.
As highlighted previously the market conditions in 2018 continue to be challenging and have been exacerbated by unfavourable weather conditions and the World Cup. This is not unique to Tasty and has been evidenced by the well-documented closures across the casual dining market and throughout the retail sector.
In February 2018 we implemented major operational structural changes and are beginning to see early signs of improvements which we expect to continue in the second half of the year.
Business review
In spite of the tough trading conditions the Directors, believe the Group's brands remain attractive to consumers and are focused on optimising the performance of the estate.
Rationalise the estate
In the light of the changes to the general trading environment, we are continuously assessing our estate to identify where improvements can be made. Our estate is made up of a growing number of sites which are outperforming expectations and we will continue to invest in those restaurants. Where sites are underperforming, we are implementing turnaround strategies and in many instances, we have witnessed significant improvements. Where such measures are not successful or if we feel we can realise maximum value, we will continue to seek to dispose of those properties. We have closed 3 sites during the period under review, two of which have been sold.
The Board has no plans to open any new sites at the current time and, in line with the change of strategy from accelerated to suspended expansion, we continue to seek to optimise our capital structure with a view to utilising the proceeds of property disposals to reduce gearing. We are also continuing to review our funding arrangements and as a result, we have decided to reduce our funding costs by cancelling the unutilised GBP5 million Revolving Credit Facility, that was previously earmarked for new restaurant openings. This will reduce financing costs by circa GBP35,000 per annum.
Food offering
Menu development and improvement is integral to our strategy to keep the brand relevant. We continue to innovate and review and are constantly looking at ways of making the offer more exciting including vegan and gluten free menus.
Investing in our people
We have invested in our training infrastructure and launched additional apprenticeship programmes, which will be expanded over the next 6 months. For every level of the team, we will be introducing a comprehensive career pathway to support their development, enhance job satisfaction and increase staff retention.
Investing in our Structure
We have restructured the operational team to improve efficiency and reduce costs. This has resulted in annualised cost savings of approximately GBP300,000 per annum and a more responsive and motivated team with a greater focus on cost control and sales growth.
Results
Sales are down 5.7% on the corresponding period to GBP22,977,000 (2017 - GBP24,375,000). Headline operating loss, before pre-opening costs, non-trade items and interest, was GBP119,000 (2017 - GBP544,000 profit) and pre-tax loss before pre-opening costs and non-trade items was GBP309,000 (2017 - GBP210,000 profit).
In the light of current trading conditions and the retail landscape, the Group has undertaken a further review of its estate during the period and has recognised an impairment charge of GBP11,185,000 and an onerous lease provision of GBP1,688,000. After taking into account all non-trade adjustments the Group has a stated loss after tax for the period of GBP10,694,000 (H1 2017 - loss GBP9,302,000).
Cash flows and financing
During the period capital expenditure of GBP670,000 (H1 2017 - GBP4,414,000) was incurred.
Overall, the net cash inflow for the period was GBP1,097,000 (H1 2017 - outflow GBP3,425,000). As at 1 July 2018, the Group had net borrowings of GBP4,060,000 (2 July 2017 - GBP5,421,000). The Group has an available banking facility of GBP7,000,000.
Outlook
Market conditions remain difficult, but we are starting to see the benefits of the infrastructure changes that have been, and continue to be, implemented. Our focus will continue to be growing sales and maximising value. We have a dedicated team that is leading the Group through the challenges we are facing and we would like to thank all of them for their hard work. The Directors believe that our restaurants are appealing to customers and, once the economic climate has improved, the Group is well placed to resume growth.

Loss per ordinary share (17.88) (15.56) (13.84)
The basic and diluted loss per share figures are calculated by dividing the net loss for the period attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. The diluted earnings per share figure allows for the dilutive effect of the conversion into ordinary shares of the weighted average number of options outstanding during the period. Options are only taken into account when their effect is to reduce basic earnings per share.
