Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the statement of financial position date, except that deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences.Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost, or valuation, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.50 years Not depreciatedThe Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares. Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.During the year retirement benefits were accruing to 5 Directors (2019 - 5) in respect of defined contribution pension schemes. The highest paid Director received remuneration, excluding pension, of £93,427 (2019 - £113,204). The value of the company's contributions paid to a defined contribution pension scheme in respect of the highest paid Director amounted to £9,202 (2019 - £8,977).239401003702372020-06-30truetruetruetruetrue2019-07-01falsenon-ferrous metal foundrytruefalse 00370237 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 2018-07-01 2019-06-30 00370237 2020-06-30 00370237 2019-06-30 00370237 2018-07-01 00370237 2 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 1 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:CompanySecretary1 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:Director1 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:Director2 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:Director3 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:Director4 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:Director5 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:Director5 2020-06-30 00370237 e:Director6 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:Director6 2020-06-30 00370237 e:RegisteredOffice 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:Agent1 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:Agent2 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:Buildings 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:Buildings 2020-06-30 00370237 d:Buildings 2019-06-30 00370237 d:Buildings d:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:PlantMachinery 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:PlantMachinery 2020-06-30 00370237 d:PlantMachinery 2019-06-30 00370237 d:PlantMachinery d:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:MotorVehicles 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:MotorVehicles 2020-06-30 00370237 d:MotorVehicles 2019-06-30 00370237 d:MotorVehicles d:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:FurnitureFittings 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:FurnitureFittings 2020-06-30 00370237 d:FurnitureFittings 2019-06-30 00370237 d:FurnitureFittings d:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2020-06-30 00370237 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2019-06-30 00370237 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments d:WithinOneYear 2020-06-30 00370237 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments d:WithinOneYear 2019-06-30 00370237 f:UnitedKingdom 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 f:UnitedKingdom 2018-07-01 2019-06-30 00370237 f:RestWorldOutsideUK 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 f:RestWorldOutsideUK 2018-07-01 2019-06-30 00370237 d:UKTax 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:UKTax 2018-07-01 2019-06-30 00370237 d:ShareCapital 2020-06-30 00370237 d:ShareCapital 2019-06-30 00370237 d:ShareCapital 2018-07-01 00370237 d:RevaluationReserve 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:RevaluationReserve 2020-06-30 00370237 d:RevaluationReserve 2 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:RevaluationReserve 2019-06-30 00370237 d:RevaluationReserve 2018-07-01 00370237 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2020-06-30 00370237 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2018-07-01 2019-06-30 00370237 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2019-06-30 00370237 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2018-07-01 00370237 d:AcceleratedTaxDepreciationDeferredTax 2020-06-30 00370237 d:AcceleratedTaxDepreciationDeferredTax 2019-06-30 00370237 d:OtherDeferredTax 2020-06-30 00370237 d:OtherDeferredTax 2019-06-30 00370237 e:OrdinaryShareClass1 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:OrdinaryShareClass1 2018-07-01 2019-06-30 00370237 e:OrdinaryShareClass1 2020-06-30 00370237 e:OrdinaryShareClass1 2019-06-30 00370237 e:OrdinaryShareClass2 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:OrdinaryShareClass2 2018-07-01 2019-06-30 00370237 e:OrdinaryShareClass2 2020-06-30 00370237 e:OrdinaryShareClass2 2019-06-30 00370237 e:FRS102 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:Audited 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:FullAccounts 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 e:PrivateLimitedCompanyLtd 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 d:WithinOneYear 2020-06-30 00370237 d:WithinOneYear 2019-06-30 00370237 d:BetweenOneFiveYears 2020-06-30 00370237 d:BetweenOneFiveYears 2019-06-30 00370237 d:MoreThanFiveYears 2020-06-30 00370237 d:MoreThanFiveYears 2019-06-30 00370237 1 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 00370237 5 2019-07-01 2020-06-30 xbrli:shares iso4217:GBP xbrli:pure

STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

Introduction
 
The Company continues to be engaged in business as a non-ferrous metal foundry.

Group ownership and structure

During the year under review, the business underwent a management buy-out. The transaction was partially funded using a significant proportion of Company’s cash reserves and its freehold property, which has resulted in a marked reduction in the Company’s reported net assets. 

Business review
 
As previously reported, trading activity for the first half of the year under review experienced a reduction on prior year levels. This, coupled with the downturn created by the pandemic, has resulted in turnover falling to £8,633,883 (2019: £11,816,313). Given the anticipated reduction in activity and in prompt response to the onset of the pandemic, the Board have strategically controlled costs to ensure the business remains profitable for the long term, whilst ensuring it can safely operate as full capacity in a Covid safe environment.
The Directors are pleased to report profit before tax for the year of £587,210 (2019: £590,637) and that they remain optimistic of future profitability given positive post date trading levels.   

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The key risks facing the business continue to be the strong levels of competition in the global market within which it competes and the financial stability of its customer base. The Board are continually assessing these risks on an ongoing basis to ensure they mitigate as far as possible any adverse impact on its own business. As mentioned above, the Board closely monitor the Company’s own productivity levels and cost base on an ongoing basis to ensure it remains highly competitive and retains the capability to react and respond quickly to changes in the market. The business is also in ongoing dialogue with all of its current and potential new customers to gain visibility on likely future trading levels.

Post balance sheet events

There have been no significant events affecting the Company since the year end.

Coronavirus and the COVID-19 pandemic

The Directors have and are continuing to assess the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on all areas of the business. This includes ongoing and continuing discussions with all of the business' internal and external key stakeholders. As part of the process, the Directors have been assessing the likely trading levels of the Company for the foreseeable future and evaluating if the business has adequate financial and non-financial resources available to continue to trade profitably, without significant disruption, and meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.

Going concern

The Directors consider that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The key potential source of uncertainty noted by the Directors is the Coronavirus and COVID- 19 pandemic. However at the date of this report it is not possible to reliably determine the effects that these developments will have on the Company. Accordingly the Directors have continued to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The Directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
 
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HARRISON CASTINGS LIMITED
 

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Harrison Castings Limited (the ‘Company’) for the year ended 30 June 2020 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the 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 FRS 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 30 June 2020 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 Auditor’s 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HARRISON CASTINGS LIMITED
 

Other information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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 Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In 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 Directors' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HARRISON CASTINGS LIMITED
 

Responsibilities of Directors

As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 2, 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 is 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 intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's 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 an auditor’s report 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 auditor’s report.

Use of the audit 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 an auditor's report 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

1.


General information

Harrison Castings Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales. The Company's registered number is 00370237. The address of its registered office is Gough Road, Leicester, LE5 4AP.
The principal activity of the Company during the year continued to be that of a non-ferrous metal foundry.
The financial statements have been presented in Pounds Sterling (£) as this is currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates and is rounded to the nearest pound.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 ("FRS 102"), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A;
the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.

This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Harrison Castings Holdings Limited as at 30 June 2020 and these financial statements may be obtained from Companies House.

 
2.3

Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements

The Company has taken advantage of Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 to be exempt from preparing group accounts on the grounds that it is included in the consolidated financial statements of Harrison Castings Holdings Limited, incorporated in England and Wales. The information is therefore presented as an individual company and not its group.

HARRISON CASTINGS LIMITED
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Going concern

The Directors consider that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The key potential source of uncertainty noted by the Directors is the Coronavirus and COVID-19 pandemic. However at the date of this report it is not possible to reliably determine the effects that these developments will have on the Company. Accordingly the Directors have continued to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.

 
2.5

Turnover

Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised:
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. Turnover is recognised when goods are dispatched and legal title has passed and the Company has no continuing managerial involvement associated with ownership nor effective control of the goods sold.

 
2.6

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 useful economic lives, which range from 3 to 6 years.
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.

 
2.7

Government grants

Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to the statement of comprehensive income at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as other creditors.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the same period as the related expenditure.

HARRISON CASTINGS LIMITED
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.8

Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.9

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the statement of financial position date, except that deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences.

 
2.10

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost, or valuation, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost or valuation of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following annual basis:

Freehold property
-
50 years
Freehold land
-
Not depreciated
Plant and machinery
-
10 years
Motor vehicles
-
Between 3 and 5 years
Fixtures and fittings
-
Between 4 and 10 years

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.11

Revaluation of tangible fixed assets

Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.12

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.13

Stocks and work in progress

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 
2.14

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at transaction value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.15

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.16

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at transaction value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.17

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.

2.18

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.


3.


Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
(a) Key judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies
None
(b) Key accounting estimates and assumptions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.
(i) Calculation of the cost and net realisable value of stocks
The Company makes an estimate of the cost and net realisable value of stocks. This has been outlined at note 2.13.
