Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 30 November 2022 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 November 2022. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The results reflect an increased level of activity during the year, although there were still delays in the supply of new caravans and motor homes from the manufacturers. The directors remain convinced that we are continuing to build a company that has a firm base from which we can deliver future expansion and profits. All employees and management have worked hard during the year to generate a reasonable profit, and a great deal of credit is due to them all for their continuing support. |

Strategy |
Going forward we will continue with our plans to increase the number of customers for all of our departments. |
The directors are confident that the company has an excellent range of caravans, motor-homes and associated products, although we are always looking to review and strengthen the product base. |
Turnover |
The increase in turnover reflects increased demand although production from manufacturers still lags behind its pre-covid levels. |
Gross profit |
The increase in gross profit is a consequence of improved margins on the sale of caravans reflecting high demand but reduced availability of stock from manufacturers as noted above. |
Operating costs |
Our operating costs increased during the year reflecting the higher level of activity and inflationary pressures. .The directors are continually reviewing the overheads and monitoring the current economic climate. The company did not benefit from any government grants during the year, |
Capital expenditure |
We continue to invest to improve the company. Our main expenditure during the year was the acquisition of new vehicles. |
Performance indicators |
The directors monitor key performance indicators in addition to the more traditional financial statements and sales pipeline information that is provided to the board each month. |
Our underlying sales performance shows an increase in both new and second hand motor-homes while caravan sales also improved. The service and warranty department saw an increase in turnover while the turnover of our shop decreased slightly. |

Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 30 November 2022 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Principal risks |
We recognise that stock valuation and stock turnover are the key to our profitability and management monitors these areas on a regular basis. Our fixed overheads and staffing levels are under constant review to enable us to respond to any downturn or upturn in the market that may require an overhead adjustment. All areas of our business review stock values on a regular basis, and adjustments are and will be made for slow moving and obsolete items. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The company uses various financial instruments. These include loans, cash and various items, such as trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the company's operations. |
The existence of these financial instruments exposes the company to a number of financial risks, which are described below in more detail. |
The main risks arising are cash flow interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. These policies have remained unchanged from previous years. |
Liquidity risk |
The company seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. The maturity of any borrowings is set out in the notes to the financial statements. |
Climate sustainability |
As a business supplying and servicing goods for use in the leisure industry we feel a need to take actions where possible to reduce our impact on the climate and work towards being a sustainable business. We are using energy efficient boilers for areas where heating is required, and these are regularly serviced. Additionally we have made the business decision that where possible for all packaging and paper materials we will try and purchase recyclable products to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. During 2022 we have also upgraded a number of lights around the business to low power LED from Halogen as well as fitting PIR sensors meaning lights are only activated when needed than wastefully left on. The directors are constantly working to reduce the company's carbon emissions where possible and this also has an impact on reducing costs which directly affect the companys profitability. |
Interest rate risk |
The company finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits and asset finance. The exposure to interest rate fluctuations on borrowings is managed by the use of fixed facilities. |
Credit risk |
The company's principal financial assets are cash and trade debtors. The credit risk associated with cash is limited. The principal credit risk arises therefore from its trade debtors which are widely spread and again the risk is limited. |
At 30 November 2022 and 2021 there was no concentration of credit risk with exposure being spread over a large number of customers. |

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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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. |

Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 30 November 2022 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Maxwells, 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 |
Newport Caravans Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Newport Caravans Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 November 2022 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 November 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 |
Newport Caravans 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 four, 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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Newport Caravans Limited |
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: |
Identifying and assessing potential risks to irregularities |
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
- Obtaining an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector in which the business operates and focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the company. |
- Enquiring of management, including reviewing supporting documentation concerning the company's policies and procedures relating to: |
a) Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance. |
b) Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any factual, suspected or alleged fraud. |
c) The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non- compliance with laws and regulations |
- Discussing with the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and potential indications of fraud. |
Audit response to risks identified |
As a result of performing the above, we did not identify any key audit matters related to the potential risk of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: |
- Enquiring of management and those charged with governance concerning actual and potential litigation and claims. |
- Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence with HMRC. |
- Performing analytical review procedures to identify and unusual or unexpected transactions that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. |
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and |
- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed those laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. |
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. |
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 |
Newport Caravans Limited is a |
2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards and estimation techniques, and on a going concern basis. |
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
In applying the company's accounting policies, which are described in note 3, management is required to make: |
- judgements (other than those involving estimations) that have a significant impact on the amounts recognised; and |
- estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Plant and machinery | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Computer equipment | - |
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 statement of financial position date. |

for the Year Ended 30 November 2022 |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
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. |
