STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the Year Ended 30 JUNE 2022 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2022. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The group operations are the distribution of textile products. GTM (Europe) Ltd is the holding company and distributes overseas & online with subsidiaries Vantona Home Ltd mainly distributing in the UK, with GTM USA Corporation and Sky Home Corporation operating in USA. |
The Company was incorporated on 5 March 2003 and acquired the subsidiaries over a period of time. The ultimate holding company is Gul Ahmed Textiles Mills Limited and is the main supplier of the company. |
The group's key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows: |
2022 | 2021 | 2020 |
Turnover | £11,494,475 | £9,792,079 | £8,336,772 |
Gross profit | £1,166,190 | £800,345 | £2,1,585 |
Gross profit margin |
10.1% |
8.2% |
0.3% |
Gross profit has increased as the group has sourced decreased costs from suppliers. Turnover has grown consistently as the company moved away from commission based trade to direct supplies. The UK & Europe home interior sector are highly competitive, particularly in the retail sector. Many companies offer similar products with aggressive pricing structures. The impact of technology has been significant and its essential the group keeps abreast of advances in this area. |
The group's success is dependent on the proper selection, pricing and ongoing management of risks. We believe its important to retain a diversified portfolio in order to achieve maximum profitability in the highly competitive marketplace. The group will continue to consolidate its position and continue its efforts on achieving maximum growth in its existing markets and online. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the Year Ended 30 JUNE 2022 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The group's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. |
The group's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, bank overdrafts, invoice discounting arrangements, trade debtors, trade creditors, loans to the business and finance lease agreements. The main purpose of these instruments is to finance the group's operations. |
Objectives and policies |
The principal risks and uncertainties to which the group is subject are: |
- People |
- Macro economic environment |
- Competition |
People - The resignation of key individuals and the inability to recruit talented people could adversely affect the group results. The risk is mitigated by succession planning, training of staff and by implementing appropriate pay structures. |
Macro economic environment - Home interior activity is largely driven by economic cycles and the levels of business confidence. |
Competition - The degree of competition varies by region and by sector. The group's risk is spread by the diversity of the sectors in which it operates. |
Position of the business |
At the end of the period, the group had shareholder funds of £1,999,636 (2021 - £1,549,063 ). |
Price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk |
In respect of bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between the continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts and invoice discounting arrangements at floating rates of interest. All of the business' cash balances are held in such a way that achieves a competitive rate of interest. |
Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful debtors. |
Trade creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring that sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due. |
Loans are comprised entirely of loans from financial institutions, all with variable rates of interest. The business manages the liquidity risk by ensuring that there are sufficient funds to meet any repayments that are due. |
The business is a lessee in respect of finance leased assets. The liquidity risk in respect of these is managed by ensuring that there are sufficient funds to meet any repayments that are |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the Year Ended 30 JUNE 2022 |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
As for many businesses of our size, the environment in which the company and group operates continues to be challenging. The industry is subject to constraints on spending partly brought about by uncertainty in the European economy and partly by other factors. With these risks and uncertainties in mind, the directors are aware that any plans for future development of the company and the group may be subject to unforeseen future events outside of their control. Nevertheless, the directors consider that the company and the group is well placed to sustain the current level of activity in the foreseeable future. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
G T M (EUROPE) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04687174) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
for the Year Ended 30 JUNE 2022 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 2022. |
DIVIDENDS |
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 30 June 2022. |
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 July 2021 to the date of this report. |
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). 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, Whitehead & Howarth, 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 |
G T M (EUROPE) LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of G T M (Europe) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2022 which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, 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 30 June 2022 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 |
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 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 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 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 |
G T M (EUROPE) 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. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
In our assessment of the financial statements and their susceptibility to material misstatement and how fraud may occur we have considered the nature of the industry and sector the client operates in and the control environment and remuneration policies for key management. Communication with management and review of documentation is performed and discussions among the audit team takes place to identify and review the areas offering the greatest potential for fraud or error such as the timing of recognition of commercial income, complex transactions or unusual journal entries. |
We have obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in and focus on those laws or regulations which are considered central to the entity and the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included UK Companies Act, employment law, health and safety and tax legislation. |
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. |

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
G T M (Europe) Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about G T M (Europe) Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertaking are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, Gul Ahmed Textile Mills Ltd, Pakistan. |
Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported in the profit and loss accounting during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Accruals, depreciation useful life of intangible assets and stock contain the most significant estimates of the amounts recognised in the accounts. |
Turnover |
The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents the value of all goods sold and services provided during the year, less returns received, at selling price exclusive of Value Added Tax. Sales are recognised at the point at which the company has fulfilled its contractual obligations and the risks and rewards attaching to the product and service have been transferred to the customer. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
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 balance sheet date. |

for the Year Ended 30 JUNE 2022 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
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. |
Foreign currencies |
Functional and presentation currency |
Items included in the financial statements are presented in 'Sterling £GBP, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional currency'). |
Transactions and balances |
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction or at a contracted rate. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date or the contracted rate. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated at the rate of exchange at the date of the valuation. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account as part of the fair value gain or loss. |
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. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
The company has made a net profit after tax of £450,573 (2021 £525,364) for the year ended 30 June 2022 and, as at that date, had net current asset's of £1,547,101 (2021 £1,135,108). Included in debtors due within one year is £3,840,132 (2021 £2,017,878) of debts due from subsidiary undertakings of which £1,712,483 (2021 £1,041,074) is due from Vantona Homes Limited. |
The director's have prepared the accounts on a going concern basis based on: |
1) Increase of customer base in the UK and new client wins with aggressive marketing campaigns & strategies including higher quality products. |
2) Focusing on higher business margins as well as actively marketing activities in order to increase further customer base in the UK. |
3) Focus to enhance further volume of online business via, acquisition and investment in new platforms as well as enhancement in features of existing platforms. |
On this basis the directors have concluded that the going concern basis is appropriate. |

Financial instruments |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash consists of cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents consist of short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. |
Other financial assets |
Other financial assets including trade debtors for goods sold to customers on short-term credit, are initially measured at the undiscounted amount of cash receivable from that customer, which is normally the invoice price, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost less impairment, where there is objective evidence of impairment. |
Loans and borrowings |
All loans and borrowings, both assets and liabilities are initially recorded at the present value of cash payable to the lender in settlement of the liability discounted at the market interest rate. Subsequently loans and borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The computation of amortised cost includes any issue costs, transaction costs and fees, and any discount or premium on settlement, and the effect of this is to amortise these amounts over the expected borrowing period. Loans with no stated interest rate and repayable within one year or on demand are not amortised. Loans and borrowings are classified as current assets or liabilities unless then borrower has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the financial year end date. |
Other financial liabilities |
Trade creditors are measured at invoice price, unless payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate. In this case the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, and the financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. |
Impairment of financial assets |
At the end of each reporting period, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence of impairment of any financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost, including unlisted investments, loans, trade debtors and cash. If there is objective evidence of impairment, impairment losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss account in that financial year. |
