Additional information

Directors' liabilitiesThe Company made qualifying third-party indemnity provisions for the benefits of its Directors during the period, which remain in force at the date of this report. This is a qualifying provision for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006.Going concernFollowing the receipt of a £1.8m loan from Travis Perkins P&H Holdings Limited on 15 April 2020 (repayable on 14 April 2022 and accruing interest at 4.5%), the Company has a cash balance of £2.9m on 16 April 2020. As a result of this loan, the Company has sufficient cash reserves to meet all its liabilities as they fall due under a wide range of scenarios, including a period of eighteen months with no revenue and without any support from the UK government. This assessment has been made using the Company's unaudited 2019 financial statements, its management accounts for the three-month period ended 31 March 2020 and its projected cash outflows for the period ending 31 October 2021. The key assumptions that underpin the cash flow projections relate to an assumed eighteen-month period with no revenues and the settlement of total overheads at current run rates despite the assumed lack of revenue. These assumptions reflect a worst-case scenario fully reflecting downside risk. For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.Covid-19 statement:The United Kingdom was put into lockdown by the government on 23 March 2020 in an attempt to limit the spread of Covid-19. From 23 March 2020 to the date of the accounts National Shower Spares Limited has continued to trade, albeit at some reduced volumes. The Directors consider that National Shower Spares Limited has sufficient funds to meet all its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least eighteen monthsDividendsThe Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend (2017: £nil).Modern slaveryThe Company will not accept slavery or human trafficking and works with suppliers and colleagues to ensure positive steps are taken to ensure that slavery has no place in the business or supply chain. If issues are identified, investigations and remedial actions will be taken. No instances of slavery or human trafficking have been identified.The Company’s approach to this issue is set out in greater detail in the Travis Perkins plc Annual Report, which does not form part of this report.
