Directors' report period ended 31 December 2019

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 31 December 2019

Principal activities of the company

Principal activity and review of the businessThe principal activity of the Company continued to be the manufacture and supply of electronic assemblies. The Company continued to review the economy during 2019 and potential impacts that Brexit would bring and adapt to any market fluctuations as necessary. The current economic climate is still fragile and will continue whilst the uncertainty of Brexit is still not clear. Due to this uncertainty the UK saw reductions in some of the company’s market segments.During 2019 the Company continued to expand its low cost Manufacturing solutions in China and transfers to Tunis through a managed UK service which allowed the customers to benefit from local support and Global costs. Customers were very positive about this approach with the delivery lead times being reduced compared to China out of our North Africa plant.The company continued in 2019 to expand its Engineering Technology and a further £243k of capital was invested in UK factory. The factory and office areas were completely refurbished which included a new ESD floor and LED lighting for the factory plus expanding our selective soldering machines. Further investments are planned for 2020, which will widen the companies offering in different markets.The Sales organisation has seen an upturn in new customers and experienced some delays in starting due to the Brexit effect where movement on new Design and transfers were slowed down or parked awaiting the results of the UK departure from the EU. These new customers are expected to be closed during 2020. Moving into 2020 and the market conditions around Electric vehicles (EV) will see some challenges in the direction of the UK site and future accreditations are planned to support this Market segment including accreditation to IATF 16949.Future interest in the Global footprint of Asteelflash Group with UK supporting NPI and low cost region opportunities continues to support the long-term strategy.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2019

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework (FRS 101) and under the historical cost convention in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.

    Intangible fixed assets amortisation policy

    Intangible fixed assetsIntangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets comprise right-of-use asset related to the lease of the building and software that has been installed and which has been brought into use. Right of use is amortised on a straight-line basis. Software is amortised over its expected useful economic life of 7 years from the point of being brought into use.

    Other accounting policies

    Income TaxesCurrent tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date.Deferred taxation is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the Balance Sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or right to pay less or to receive more, tax, with the following exceptions:Provision is made for tax on gains arising from the revaluation (and similar fair value adjustments) of fixed assets, or gains on disposal of fixed assets that have been rolled over into replacement assets, only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to dispose of the assets concerned. However, no provision is made where, on the basis of all available evidence at the balance sheet date, it is more likely than not that the taxable gain will be rolled over into replacement assets and charged to tax only where the replacement assets are sold.Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
