GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Introduction
 
The directors present their strategic report for the company for the year ended 31 August 2022.

Business review
 
The results for the UK group show a pre-tax profit of £3,099,632 (2021 - pre-tax profit £2,113,555 prior to the exceptional credit of £12,692,774) for the year and sales of £53,523,891 (2021 - £49,535,173). The underlying pre-tax profit of £3,099,632 reflects an improvement in the results that belies the problems associated with BREXIT.
The results reflect the increased economic activity resurgence following the pandemic and also the continuing rationalisation programme to ensure the business continues to remain resilient and agile.
With BREXIT having caused significant business uncertainty with customers, the incorporation of the German branch into a German subsidiary of the UK company has assisted in retaining customers. The increased turnover is a testament to the re-energised sales team.
The UK group has a wholly owned subsidiary known as PEI Turkey, incorporated and registered in Turkey that continues in the liquidation process.
The group has cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year of £5,671,060 (2021 - £6,120,667) as a result of the cash outflow of £449,607 during the year (2021 - cash outflow of £3,716,356).
The group continues to grow its business and is fully supported by its parent undertaking PEI/Genesis, Inc. by deferring £136,431 (2021 - £106,576) for repayment until 2023. Total assets exceed current liabilities by £20,626,775 (2021 - £18,264,459) maintaining liquidity to the group to combat current trading conditions and   facilitate further expansion and growth into UK and European markets.

Business Environment

The connector market is extremely competitive and the increase in sales is a testament to the group's employees, strategy and business practices and processes. Economic conditions, not least caused by BREXIT, during the past year were difficult with significant pressure on profit margins. 
The group differentiates itself from its competitors by hiring and retaining experienced and talented employees, by maintaining a large inventory of diverse components that enables it to assemble and deliver products to more customers more quickly than its competitors, by providing exceptional customer service, and by operating in diverse geographic markets.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Strategy

The group's overriding objective is to achieve attractive and sustainable rates of growth and returns through organic growth and by acquisition should the appropriate opportunity arise.
The key elements for sustained growth are: 
     
• investment in the appropriate mix and amount of inventory
• quick delivery and outstanding customer service.
• motivated and experienced sales and operations teams 
• continuous employee training and development 
      
The group carries a broad product range and works closely with such manufacturers as ITT Cannon and Amphenol. The inventory levels are significant and are required to ensure prompt delivery.
Despite the difficult economic climate during the past year, the company invested in new inventory lines and expanded its operations outside the UK.
The group continues to invest in new technology, infrastructure and business practices to ensure its success. The directors recognise that employees play a significant role in the success of the company and they continually seek to recruit and retain the best employees in order to provide outstanding customer service. Employee training also is a key determinant in the development of the group and is focussed on issues such as: health and safety, customer service, information management, product knowledge, regulatory requirement and inventory handling.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The management of the business and the execution of the group's strategy are subject to a number of risks.
Risks are formally reviewed by the board of directors and appropriate processes put in place to monitor and mitigate them. If more than one event occurs, it is possible that the overall effect of such events would compound the possible adverse effects on the company. The key business risks affecting the company are set out below.
BREXIT
The potential implications of the UK’s exit from the European Union are significant and include:
• Operational complexity and increased cost due to restriction on the movement of goods arising from
  stricter border controls.
• Import and export duties.
• Additional costs passed through from third party suppliers.
Inflation and recession
The continuing economic pressure being created by inflation is likely to impact the group’s ability to maintain profit margins:
• The cost-of-living crisis has been addressed with a significant increase in remuneration for employees that  will reduce margins.
• Cost of goods have increased due to supplier prices increase being pushed through on a quarterly or
  semi-annual basis.
• Operating costs, in particular energy consumption, have been affected by the increased cost in the energy  markets.
• Customers may reduce spending and thus lead to a reduction in turnover.
Conversely, in times of inflation, sales may increase temporarily as customers stockpile inventory to limit exposure to price increases and the group has been able to pass along some price increases to its customers. However, in the continuing inflationary trend, combined by aggressive action by the UK and European central banks to raise interest rates to dampen inflation, sales will generally decline if the growth in European economies stalls.
The Directors are confident that the business is well placed to weather the economic uncertainty.
COVID 19
The resurgence of the COVID 19 pandemic and another lockdown could have a further adverse impact on the group. This may result in a decrease in sales orders and also affect the supply chain as has already been experienced in 2022 and 2021. In order to mitigate this risk, the company has made a COVID secure workplace so that production can continue. 
Competition
The group operates in a highly competitive market particularly around price and service. This results not only in downward pressure on margins but also the risk of not meeting customers' expectations. In order to mitigate this risk, the company's sales and support teams continually monitor prices and customer satisfaction.
Employee skills and retention
The group's performance depends significantly on its general manager, sales staff and other key employees. The resignation of these individuals and the inability to recruit people with the right experience and skills from the local community could adversely impact the company's results. To mitigate these issues, the board of directors has implemented programmes and schemes to retain such key individuals including an ongoing training programme and a reward scheme.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Financial key performance indicators
 
The group has made significant progress on meeting the company's overriding objective (see Strategy). The group monitors the overall progress and the individual strategic elements by reference to the following KPIs.
Performance together with historical data is set out below:  
Growth in sales
Year on year sales growth/decline expressed as a percentage. The increase in sales for 2022 is due to the resurgent economic activity after the pandemic.
Growth in sales for 2022 is 8.05% compared with a decline in sales of 9.05% for 2021.
Gross profit
Gross profit is the ratio of profit on sale of products, expressed as a percentage.
Gross profit percentage for 2022 is 25.27% compared with 24.10% for 2021. 
Inventory days
This is an expression of how many days a unit of stock is held prior to sale.
Inventory days for 2022 is 129 compared with 109 for 2021.

Other key performance indicators
 
Given the straightforward nature of the business activities, the directors are of the opinion that disclosure of any other key performance indicators is not necessary for an understanding of the results of the group.

Directors' statement of compliance with duty to promote the success of the Group
 
Mr S L Fisher is the chairman and chief executive officer of the ultimate parent undertaking: PEI/Genesis, Inc (“Ultimate Parent”) and in conjunction with his fellow directors of the UK group consider that they have responsibly and appropriately discharged their duties under the Companies Act 2006 (the “Act”), including their duty to act in the way that they consider, in good faith, will be most likely to promote the success of the UK group for the benefit of its members as a whole, having due regard in doing so for the matters set out in section 172(1)(a) to (f) in the Act (“s.172”).
Consequently, a description of how the directors have had regard to the matters set out in s.172 when performing their duty is set out in the attached Directors’ Report.


This report was approved by the board on 30 November 2022 and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2022.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the consolidated 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 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 the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.

 In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:


select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group 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 the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Future developments

Facing a continuing gloomy global economic outlook with the continuing impact of inflation and the BREXIT implications, the group predicts modest growth in turnover and continued pressure on margins. The group has reduced certain operating and employee costs to compensate for the lower margins. Movements in the foreign exchange markets are likely to have a mixed impact upon the company. Sales into Europe could be impacted positively with the euro having strengthened against sterling. However, euro and US dollar denominated purchases could provide a negative impact.
The directors are satisfied that they will maintain or improve the current level of performance in the future and continue to view the group's prospects with realistic optimism.
Accordingly, the directors have prepared these financial statements on the going concern basis due to the continuing financial and operating support provided by its' parent undertaking.

Engagement with suppliers, customers and others

Engaging with customers, suppliers and employees is fundamental to how PEI does business and the directors believe that such interaction is vital to the Group’s ability to drive value creation over the longer term.

Customers: Ensuring that the customer is at the heart of the decision in enabling the Group to deliver its     strategy. With the breadth of product and expertise, the Group is able to provide relevant solutions.

Suppliers: The long-term partnerships are an important part of being able to innovate and offer new and varied solutions to customers. These strategic relationships and the supply chain are an essential part of the strategy and require close engagement with our suppliers.

Greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and energy efficiency action

The Group's greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption for the year are 71.4 tonnes and 713 MWh respectively (2021 - 70.3 tonnes and 823 MWh). This is analysed as direct emissions (scope 1) of 7.7 tonnes (154 MWh) and indirect emissions from electricity of 53.7 tonnes (559 MWh) (2021 -  9.6 tonnes (190 MWh) and indirect emissions from electricity of 60.7 tonnes (633 MWh).

The group continues to seek energy efficient methodologies to reduce the carbon footprint and associated costs. Until the technology advances have settled in respect of electric vehicles company cars are hybrid vehicles.

The Group's annual emissions as 4.3 tonnes of CO2e per £m of sales revenue (2021 – 5.1 tonnes).

Disclosure of information to auditors

Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' Report is approved has confirmed that:
 
so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company and the Group's auditors are unaware, and

the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company and the Group's auditors are aware of that information.

Branches

The UK company’s branch office in Germany was incorporated and has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the company that commenced trading on 1st January 2021.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Post balance sheet events

At the date of this report there are no post balance sheet events that would impact these financial statements. On 1 November 2022, the company entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire the Czech Republic operations of Bel Stewart s.r.o. for USD $4 million. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2023.

Financial risk management

The group's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include the effects of foreign exchange, liquidity risk and interest rate risk and are managed by the group's financial team.
The ongoing COVID pandemic poses an operational risk should the UK and European governments impose lockdown restrictions which could have an impact upon trading.
The management of these risks is conducted within a framework of policies and guidelines authorised by the board of directors of the ultimate parent undertaking and are reported periodically to the board. The group is resiliently placed to weather the adverse trading conditions.
The group's financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise borrowings, cash and liquid resources and various items such as trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from its operating activities. The main purpose of the financial statements is to raise financing for the group's operations.
The group publishes its financial statements in pounds sterling and conducts business in sterling and Euros, but also in US dollars. As a result, it is subject to foreign currency exchange risk due to exchange rate movements which will affect the transaction costs and the translation of the results.
The group will also enter into derivative financial instrument such as interest rate swaps. The purpose of such transactions is to manage the interest rate risk arising from the group's operations and its sources of financing.
It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the group's policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.
The main risks arising from the group's financial instruments are interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The board of directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
Liquidity risk
The parent group's policy throughout the year has been to ensure continuity of funding. The credit facility was extended in April 2022 and is now renewable on 30 June 2023. The group obtains borrowing from its bankers and has been granted increased credit line availability since 2004 when it was $14 million to the current credit line of $38 million of which $9 million is capped for various non-US dollar denominated currencies. Therefore, the directors consider that liquidity risk is low.
Interest rate risk
The UK group historically financed its operations through bank borrowings and support from its parent undertaking but throughout the period under review had no bank borrowing and has reduced the support from  its parent undertaking.  The group is able to borrow in desired currencies at floating rates and use interest rate swaps to generate the desired interest rate profile and to manage the company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PEI-GENESIS (U.K.) LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of PEI-Genesis (U.K.) Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 August 2022, which comprise the Group Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Group and Company Balance Sheets, the Group Statement of Cash Flows, the Group and Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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 Group's and of the parent Company's affairs as at 31 August 2022 and of the Group's 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

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.

adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the parent Company 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 Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 5, 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 Group's and the parent 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 Group or the parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PEI-GENESIS (U.K.) LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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 an Auditors' 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 Group financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the company, we have considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006.  We evaluated management incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements including management override, and considered that the principal risk was related to the posting of inappropriate journal entries to improve the result before tax for the year.
We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion.
Procedures performed by the audit team included:
• Discussions with management regarding known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and
 regulations;
• Evaluation of controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; and
• Assessing journal entries as part of our planned audit approach.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.  As in all of our audits we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.


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 Auditors' Report.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

1.


General information

PEI-Genesis (U.K.) Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. 
The address of its registered office is Henwood House, Henwood, Ashford, Kent, TN24 8DH. 
The address of the principal place of business is George Curl Way, Southampton, Hampshire, SO18 2RZ.
The registered number of the company is 03290190.
The principal activity of the company is that of the supply and production of harsh environment connectors.

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, 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 critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance Sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 01 September 2014.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into Sterling at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rate ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at opening rate and the results of overseas operations at actual rate are recognised in other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue 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 revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the Group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

 
2.5

Operating leases: the Group as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.6

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 profit or loss 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 deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the same period as the related expenditure.

 
2.7

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

PEI-GENESIS (U.K.) LIMITED
 

 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.8

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.9

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

 
2.10

Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays 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 Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.11

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss 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 balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits;
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 
2.12

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Group but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.13

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost 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 of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line basis and the reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Leasehold improvements
-
over period of the lease
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
-
25% reducing balance basis

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 profit or loss.

 
2.14

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

Investments in unlisted Group shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment.

  
2.15

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a weighted average basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.
At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment: obsolescence, slow moving and defective items where appropriate. 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.

 
2.16

Debtors

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.17

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.

In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

 
2.18

Creditors

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

 
2.19

Holiday pay accrual

A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which is accrued at the balance sheet date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at the undiscounted salary cost of the future holiday entitlement so accrued at the balance sheet date.

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Group a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet.

2.21

Financial instruments

The Group 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. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Group would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or income as appropriate. The company does not currently apply hedge accounting for interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the accounting policies, which are described in note 2, management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about 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.
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below:
Depreciation and residual values
The directors have reviewed the useful economic life and associated residual values for all classes of fixed assets and have concluded that asset lives and residual values are appropriately reflected.
Inventory obsolescence
Inventory is continually reviewed for signs of obsolescence and slow moving stocks. 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
