| Menai Meats (Wales) Limited |
| Strategic Report |
|
| Development and financial performance during the year and at the reporting date 2019 |
|
Sales turnover during the year was £ 25,658,019 which was an increase of 96% compared with £13,113,225 last year. Trading margins were 6.78 % and the company's gross profit margin has decreased by 2.17 % compared to the previous year (2019:8.95%).
The directors are of the view that the marginal decrease in the profit margin is partly due to high cost of of Sheep and Lamb Stock.
Directors are optimistic that the future margins will be more stable due to tighter cost cutting exercise and better internal controls in purchasing and selling activities. Being an essential goods company , the demand for the company's products has not decreased .During the financial year, the pandemic had affected both sales and purchase prices for the six months until the year end and also the following financial year.
The Director anticipates further positive growth in the company , building on its current success. |
|
| Key performance indicators |
| Directors consider the key performance indicators to be turnover and profit margins. |
|
| Principal Risk and Uncertainties Facing the Business |
|
| Competitor risks |
| Currently there is significant competition from other market leaders but due to the current standing of Menai Meats (Wales) Ltd.'s Parent company and its directors reputation this reduces competitor risk. |
|
| Liquidity Risk |
| The Company actively manages its cash flow to ensure that there are adequate financial resources to allow the company to trade successfully while meeting the expectations of its stakeholders. |
|
| Credit Risk |
| The company manages credit risk by checking potential credit term customers and monitoring the trading activity in line with stringent credit policy. |
|
| Financial Risk Management |
| The company is exposed to a number of financial risks including price and foreign exchange risk. The company has put in place financial instruments and policies in order to reduce the adverse effect of this type of exposure including entering in to short term forward exchange contracts. |
|
| Reliance on Key Suppliers |
| The company does not rely on any one key supplier due to the company's purchases are being sourced from all over the United Kingdom. |
|
| Economic downturn |
| The demand for meat products will always remain strong in any economic climate and the directors are confident that the success of the company will remain no matter in what state the economy is. |
|
| Loss of key personnel |
| The structure of the company is robust enough to be able to compensate for any loss in key personnel. The company has been arranged in such a way that all key staff have in place a number of support staff that are competent enough to carry out and share all tasks that fall upon each department in the event of a loss of a head of department. |
|
| Financial Instruments |
| Currently the company uses Bank loans and overdraft facilities and secured on the assets of the company. Apart from the standard banking, arrangements and short term forward currency exchange contracts no complex financial instruments are used. |

| Director |
|
|
| 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 |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
|
| Other information |
| The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 |
|
|
Stocks |
|
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. |
|
|
Debtors |
|
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. |
|
|
Creditors |
|
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. |
|
|
Taxation |
|
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
|
|
Provisions |
|
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. |
|
|
Foreign currency translation |
|
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.
At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss. |
|
|
Leased assets |
|
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The rights of use and obligations under finance leases are initially recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction in the outstanding liability using the effective interest rate method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the company's policy for tangible fixed assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the lower of the lease term and its useful life. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
