STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2019. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The principal activity of the company during the year was that of the provision of promotion and demonstration services. |
The business has continued to deepen its relationship with existing long standing customers. Growth is an organisational |
goal but the directors are focussed on ensuring it is never at the expense of current operations. |
The directors are closely involved in the day to day running of the business and whilst pleased with progress will not |
become complacent and continue to look at ways to improve efficiencies and reduce costs. |
The directors consider the principal risks and uncertainties facing the business to be: |
1. Exposure to bad debts |
The directors minimise the exposure to this risk by regular management reviews of trade debts and the credit worthiness |
of key customers. |
2. Economic recession/worsening financial markets |
The company operates with low fixed overheads so it is able to respond quickly to changes in the economic |
environment. |
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
The company's working capital requirements are met principally out of its invoice discounting arrangement. The |
company's key financial risks and the measures taken to mitigate them are outlined below: |
Price risk |
Due to the nature of the financial instruments used by the company there is no exposure to price risk. |
Interest rate risk |
The company's interest rate exposure arises mainly from its interest-bearing borrowings. The company regularly reviews |
its funding arrangements to ensure they are competitive within the marketplace. |
Credit risk |
The company manages its exposure to risk from credit sales by the terms of its invoice discounting facility and through |
continuous monitoring of new and existing customers credit worthiness, taking into account customer protection limits. |
Liquidity/cashflow risk |
The directors monitor cash flow carefully, and the company has agreed overdraft facilities with its bankers in order to |
manage cash flow fluctuations. |

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
FIZZ EXPERIENCE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02031289) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2019. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of promotions and demonstrations services. |
DIVIDENDS |
Interim dividends were issued during the year on 31 March 2019 as follows: |
Ordinary 20p per share £44.44 per share Paid on 22 March 2019 |
The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 March 2019 is £4,000. |
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT |
The company continued its investment in research and development during the year. Further costs in respect of this have |
been capitalised in the balance sheet. The amount capitalised in the year was £118,392. |
An amount of £96,077 has been written off costs previously capitalised recognising developments in technology. |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
The directors are confident that with continued investment to improve efficiencies and reduce costs in 2019/20 the |
business will continue to go from strength to strength. |
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 April 2018 to the date of this report. |
Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The company's financial risk management objectives consist of identifying and monitoring those risks which have an |
adverse impact on the value of the company's financial assets and liabilities or on the reported profitability and on the |
cash flows of the company. The company's principal financial instruments are cash and invoice discounting facility from |
its bank. |
GOING CONCERN |
The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash reserves. The company's forecasts and |
projections, taking account of reasonable changes in trading performance, show that the company is able to operate |
within the level of its current facilities and has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the |
foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial |
statements. |
DISABLED EMPLOYEES |
The company gives full consideration to applications for employment from disabled persons where the requirements of |
the job can be adequately fulfilled by a handicapped or disabled person. Where existing employees become disabled, it |
is the company's policy wherever practicable to provide continuing employment under normal terms and conditions and |
to provide training and career development and promotion to disabled employees wherever appropriate. |
EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT |
During the year, the policy of providing employees with information about the company has been continued through |
internal media methods in which employees have also been encouraged to present their suggestions and views on the |
company's performance. Regular meetings are held between local management and employees to allow a free flow of |
information and ideas. Certain employees participate directly in the success of the business through the company's profit |
sharing schemes. |
FIZZ EXPERIENCE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02031289) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 |
DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
The company has chosen in accordance with Section 414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and |
Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 to set out within the company's Strategic Report the Company's Strategic Report |
Information Required by Schedule 7 of the Large and Medium Sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) |
Regulation 2008. This includes information that would have been included in the business review and details of the |
principal risks and uncertainties. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements |
in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. 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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The |
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
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. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act |
2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken |
as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's |
auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Vista Audit LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
FIZZ EXPERIENCE LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Fizz Experience Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2019 |
which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in |
Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial |
reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting |
Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and |
Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2019 and of its profit for the year 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 for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. |
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the |
financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical |
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, |
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit |
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to |
you where: |
- | the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or |
- | the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic |
Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors |
thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise |
explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing |
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge |
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or |
apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial |
statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude |
that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to |
report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
FIZZ EXPERIENCE LIMITED |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, |
we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you |
if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, the directors are responsible |
for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such |
internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from |
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a |
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of |
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic |
alternative but to do so. |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from |
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. |
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs |
(UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are |
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic |
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting |
Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
Use of our report |
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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements: |
- Determine whether leases entered into by the company either as a lessor or a lessee are operating lease or |
finance leases. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have |
been transferred from the lessor to the lessee on a lease by lease basis. |
- Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's tangible and intangible assets, including |
goodwill. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and |
expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating unit, |
the viability and expected future performance of that unit. |
Other key sources of estimation uncertainty |
- Intangible fixed assets |
Intangible fixed assets, are amortised over their useful life taking into account the probable future economic |
benefits, where appropriate. The economic useful lives of the assets and probable future economic benefits are |
assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. |
- Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where |
appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on |
a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and |
maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future |
market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. |
Turnover |
The turnover shown in the profit and loss represents amounts receivable for services provided during the year in |
the normal course of business, net of trade discounts, VAT and other sales and related taxes. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost |
less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
An impairment loss has been recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, following an assessment at |
the Statement of Financial Position date indicating the recoverable amount was less than its carrying value. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets held for the company's own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and |
accumulated impairment losses. |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful |
life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
Plant and machinery - 33% on cost |
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost |
Motor vehicles - 20% on cost |
Computer equipment - 33% on cost and 20% on cost |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |

Financial instruments |
Basic financial assets, including trade debtors, other debtors, loans to fellow group companies, loans to directors, |
cash and bank balances and investments in shares, are initially measured at the transaction price including |
transaction costs and are subsequently recognised at amortised cost. |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade creditors, other creditors and trade finance, are initially recognised at |
transaction price and are subsequently recognised at amortised cost. |
Classification of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual |
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of |
the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive |
Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in |
equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or |
substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |
Intangible fixed assets - research and development |
In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future |
economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. |
Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain specific criteria |
are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be |
reliably measured. The capitalised development costs are subsequently amortised on a straight line basis over |
their expected useful economic lives, which is 5 years. |
The expected useful economic life of development costs are estimated based on business plans which set out the |
development plan and time to market for the associated project. |
If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project |
the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the |
statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of |
exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the |
operating profit. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the |
lease. |
Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that give rights approximately to ownership (finance leases), the |
assets are treated as if they has been purchased outright. The amount capitalised is the present value of the |
minimum lease payments payable over the term of the lease. The corresponding leasing commitments are shown |
as amounts payable to the lessor. Depreciation on the relevant assets is charged to profit or loss over the shorter |
of estimated useful economic life and the term of the lease. |
Lease payments are analysed between capital and interest components so that the interest element of the payment |
is charged to profit or loss over the term of the lease and is calculated so that it represents a constant proportion |
of the balance of capital repayments outstanding. The capital part reduces the amounts payable to the lessor. |

Pension costs |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held |
separately from those of the company. The annual contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss |
account. |
Holiday pay accrual |
A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which has accrued at the balance |
sheet date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at the undiscounted salary cost of the future |
holiday entitlement so accrued at the balance sheet date. |
Dividends |
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised |
when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general |
meeting. Dividends on shares recognised as liabilities are recognised as expenses and classified within interest |
payable. |
