STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2022 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2022. |
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS |
Morplan Limited is incorporated in the United Kingdom and is part of the Raja group of companies. |
The company is a long established trade supplier to the retail industry and operates as an integrated distance selling operation complemented by retail outlets in London, Bristol, Glasgow and Birmingham and is supported by a nationwide distribution network. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
I am pleased to report on the trading performance for the year ended 31 December 2022, for Morplan a year of recovery after the previous two years that were so heavily impacted by the global pandemic, was not however, without its challenges. |
Post pandemic shortages and higher commodity prices, an outcome of the war in Ukraine (mainly in the first half of 2022), pushed up both domestic and global inflation. |
This coupled with a fall in the value of GBP v both USD and the Euro effected our realised gross margin and subsequent operating result in H1 of 2022 even though we pushed prices up to our customers during the year. |
Global shipping rates remained high in H1 but started to fall in the second half of the year. |
Despite the above, the company traded in line with expectations, and we were delighted to see overall sales for the year improve by 31% compared to 2021. |
These sales were buoyed by the fact that both our customers, and all four of our regional stores were free of 'COVID 19 lockdown restrictions' and able to trade for the entire year. |
Although the much-improved sales are yet to return to the highs experienced in previous years, in 2022 they have remained hard fought for, as consumer confidence remains fragile. |
Whilst the 'lock downs' caused by Covid-19 left many retailers, at least for H1 of 2022, reluctant to invest in anything other than the essentials for their stores, H2 has seen a reversal of that lack of confidence, and we did see towards the back of 2022 confidence start to return in our Key Accounts area with some large deals coming to fruition. |
That increase in confidence in the market brings us a renewed expectation for the coming years as we emerge from downturns as always stronger than the competition. |
Whilst Brexit still has implications for the business, the planning that the company undertook in advance of Brexit has meant that we have managed to maintain much of our commercial trade with our partners outside of the UK, albeit it with a degree of complexity, at least for Europe, that the business is able to manage effectively. |
To underpin that drive, Morplan re-launched its Irish Web site in the Republic of Ireland in 2022 and initial results are in line with expectations. |
In H2 of 2022, we embarked on a proactive procurement program, aimed at reversing the supplier price increases and resourcing product from other areas of the world and this, coupled with Group purchasing power helped protect the Gross Profit in H2 of 2022 and subsequently into H1 of 2023. |
The Directors are encouraged by the improvement seen in both sales and improved margins, which has seen operating losses reduced by over £1.4m when compared to 2021. |
Our move of our warehouse and logistics operation to a new purpose-built warehouse in Milton Keynes, completed in the Summer of 2021, has, after a bedding in period allowed us to enjoy a much more efficient warehouse function allowing us to maximise our customer experience whilst being able to maintain a stock holding that has differentiated ourselves from the competition in the UK market. |
The tight controls on other operating costs which helped in the reduction of operating losses in 2022 provides a strong platform for a return to profit in 2023. |
Although the economy outlook for UK plc still remains uncertain with increased interest rates and high cost of living, we are seeing the Morplan customer base demonstrate a degree of confidence in the future we have not seen for some considerable time in their investment in creating 'exciting physical retail'. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2022 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The management of the business and the execution of the company's strategy are subject to a number of risks. |
The key business risks affecting the company are considered to relate to the heightened uncertainty in the UK economy, from the competition faced by both national and independent retailers and product availability. |
The company's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include the effects of credit risk, liquidity risk and currency risk. |
Credit risk |
The company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales over a certain credit limit are made. This is combined with careful profiling and ageing of the trade debtors and with a regular formal debtors review procedure. |
The company takes what it deems to be appropriate checks on any financial institution which holds company cash and deposits and conducts formal reviews of the risks and competitiveness of the facilities under use. |
Liquidity risk |
The company utilises funding facilities from its bankers and parent company to meet its obligations and management uses a process of cash forecast modelling to monitor the company's ability to meet those obligations. |
Currency risk |
The company procures supplies from across the globe and pays for the goods in a variety of currencies and manages this risk by hedging in the form of forward contracts. |

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. |
In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. |
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2022 |
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, BSR Bespoke, 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 |
MORPLAN LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Morplan Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including 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 31 December 2022 and of its loss 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 |
MORPLAN 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 |
MORPLAN 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: |
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the client and determined that the most significant are: |
- The form and content of the financial statements, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006 |
- UK Employment Law and data protection, and |
- International Organisation for Standardization, including, ISO9001, ISO14001 and ISO45001 |
We gathered an understanding of how the entity is complying with the above frameworks by enquiring and observing management and those charged with governance, ensuring there is a culture of honesty with an emphasis on fraud prevention which may reduce opportunities for fraud to occur as well as acting as a deterrent. |
We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement due to fraud, by making an assessment of the key fraud risks, the manner in which any such risks may materialise, our knowledge of the client and an assessment of the current business environment. |
We designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed additional audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free of fraud or error. |
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, 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. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with management and those charged with governance. |
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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
MORPLAN LIMITED |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£). |
Going concern |
The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position, including a detailed Covid-19 assessment, are set out in the Strategic Report. After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. |
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exceptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": |
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows, |
- the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7. |
Turnover |
Turnover is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the company from the sale of goods and services and is measured as the fair value of consideration which the company expects to receive from those transactions. Sales of goods are recognised at the point of sale or on delivery of the goods and when the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. Turnover from services is recognised when the services are provided. |
Turnover from internet sales is recognised at the point when the goods are despatched to the customer. |
Turnover is recognised net of returns and of trade discounts and is shown exclusive of value added tax. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The company enters into basic financial instruments that give rise to financial assets and financial liabilities including trade and other debtors, trade and other creditors, bank account balances, bank loans and other loans and borrowings and investments in certain non puttable and non convertible equity instruments. |
Debt instruments which are not payable or receivable within one year are initially accounted for at the transaction price and are subsequently accounted for at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments payable and receivable within one year are measured at their undiscounted cash amounts. Where the debt instruments are treated as a financing transaction, then the financial asset or liability is measured at the present value of future cash flows based on a market rate of interest. Debt instruments which are treated as financial assets and accounted for at amortised cost are also assessed for impairment. |
Equity instruments are initially accounted for at transaction price. They are subsequently accounted for at cost unless they can be accounted for at fair value based on a readily available market price in an active market. Equity instruments which are treated as financial assets and accounted for at cost are also assessed for impairment. |
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. |
Deferred taxation |
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 |
The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is also the functional currency of the Company. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date the transaction occurred. Monetary items denominated in other currencies are translated at the rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All differences are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured at historic cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. |
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Pension costs |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company and operated independently by Aegon Scottish Equitable. |
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described above, management is required to make judgements, 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. |
3. | TURNOVER |
Of the company's total turnover 96% (2021: 95%) is attributable to the UK market and 4% (2021: 5%) to Non-UK markets. All turnover is originated in the UK. |
4. | OTHER OPERATING INCOME |
Included within other operating income is £nil (2021: £255,029) in respect of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS). |
