STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Introduction
 
The company's principal activities during the year continued to be that of haulage contractors, general building materials merchants, demolition and plant contractors.

Business review
 
The directors wish to present a balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of the company during the year and its position at the end of the year. Their review is consistent with the size and nature of the business and is written in the context of risks and uncertainties faced. 
The company have enjoyed an increase in turnover due to the significant demand for the company’s good and services primarily from its customers in the construction industry. Despite this, and like many companies in the construction industry, the company has experienced significant rising costs across the board as a result of soaring inflation which has led to a fall in gross profit margin, operating profit and profit before tax. 
 
The directors are keen to maintain the financial performance of the current year, but remain mindful of the continued tumultuous economic and political environment in which the company and its customers operate, which may have a negative impact on the company and the industries it serves going forwards. As a result the directors are keen to consolidate its position in the market and continue whilst seeking out avenues for growth and cost saving where they arise.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
Competitive markets - The company operates in highly competitive markets, which is subject to external political factors such as high level health and safety regulations and changes in commodity prices affecting both customers and suppliers of the group. The company manages these risks by agreeing terms with its main suppliers and maintaining strong relationships with a wide range of customers by providing a range of value added services which should provide some stability.
 
Fuel costs - a significant cost to the company, fuel prices and supply levels can be significantly influenced by
international, political and economic circumstances resulting in higher prices, increased volatility of prices, supply
restrictions, shortages or interruptions which could adversely affect the company's operations. Furthermore, the
company may be unable to pass these costs on to customers. The board continually monitor risk and seek out the best price possible from its suppliers to ensure that this significant cost to the company does not significantly erode margins.
 
Driver costs - another significant cost to the company, wages rates and general availability of labour can be affected by shortages experienced as a result of macroeconomic factors. The board seek to mitigate the impact this has on the company by offering its drivers competitive remuneration packages.
 
Regulation - the company operates in industries which are subject to numerous laws and regulations covering a
wide range of matters including health & safety, employment (including working time, wages and legislation
covering mandatory breaks) and other operating issues, in particular the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of
Operators) Act 1995. The board have implemented operational policies and procedures to ensure compliance
with existing laws and regulations, as well as implementing procedures to monitor changes.
As mentioned in the business review, the directors remain cautious in light of the tumultuous economic and political environment which could have a negative impact on the company and the industry going forwards. The directors remain vigilant to how this may impact the business in the short and long term and will seek to take appropriate actions to minimise the business impact going forwards whilst continuing to meet customer demand.

Financial key performance indicators
 
Due to the nature of trade, the directors monitor turnover, gross profit, gross margin and cash at bank as the Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) to measure performance of the company and report that:
Turnover for the year has increased by 25.6% (
2022 - increased by 27.8%) from £19,097,653 to £23,989,929.
Gross profit has increased by 3.4% (
2022 - increased by 60.6%) from £3,603,682 to £3,725,019.
Gross profit margin is 15.5% (
2022 - 18.9%).
Cash at bank at the year end totals £63,857 (
2022 - £179,128) 


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

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF P.J. THORY LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of P.J. Thory Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the 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 Company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Conclusions relating to going concern


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

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 Directors' report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 3, 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF P.J. THORY 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 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:
• Enquiry of management around the actual and potential litigation and claims;
• Reviewing financial statements disclosures and testing supporting documentation to assess compliance with
applicable laws and regulations;
• Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and
other adjustments for appropriateness, and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; and 
• We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, Goods Vehicles (licensing of Operators) Act 1995, taxation legislation, General Data Protection Regulation, employment, health and safety legislation.


Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.


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.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

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 Company 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 Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

Services include work done by the Company for the Company in relation to site preparation work with a corresponding entry to cost of sales. See also accounting policy 2.13 relating to site works carried out on own developments.

 
2.5

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

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

 
2.6

Leased assets: the Company as lessee

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.7

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 Statement of comprehensive income in the same period as the related expenditure.

 
2.8

Interest income

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

 
2.9

Borrowing costs

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

 
2.10

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed 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 profit or loss 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
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 operates and generates 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; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

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

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.13

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 first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. 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.

Future Site Developments
a) Site works done for customers - preliminary expenses incurred prior to awarding of contract are written off when incurred in accordance with FRS 102 Paragraph 23. Subsequent costs are capitalised as Work in Progress and this cost, less estimated residual value, is written-off over expected life of the project in accordance with FRS 102 Paragraph 23.
b) Site works carried out on own developments - preliminary expenses and other development project costs are capitalised as Stocks and Work in Progress as incurred where there is positive expectation of eventual profit contribution and then written-off, less any estimated net residual value, over the expected life of the project in accordance with FRS 102 Paragraph 23.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.14

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 method and reducing balance method..

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Freehold property
-
0 and 4% straight line and 15% reducing balance
Short-term leasehold property
-
33.33% straight line
Plant and machinery
-
15% reducing balance
Motor vehicles
-
25% reducing balance
Fixtures, fittings tools and equipment
-
33.33% straight line and 15% & 20% reducing balance

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.

 
2.15

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.

 
2.16

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.

 
2.17

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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.18

Provisions for liabilities

Provision are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive oligation 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 Company 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. 

 
2.19

Financial instruments

 
2.20

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgments and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgments and estimates have been made include:
 
Depreciation - The company makes an estimation of each tangible fixed assets useful life and respective residual value. Depreciation is then charged to the Profit and loss account over this useful life to reflect the reduction in value. Depreciation charged to the Profit and Loss account during the year is disclosed in note 14.
 
Revenue - Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company 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.
 
Stocks - Due to the nature of stocks held by the company the cost is based on the best estimate of management whom have in depth knowledge of the industry, the costs factor in expenses incurred on bringing each product to its present location and condition. Stock held in the account at the year end totals £1.778 mil
 (2022: £1.524mil).
 
Work in Progress - Included in the stock figure is work in progress representing site works carried out on the company's own developments. The project costs are capitalised as incurred where there is a positive expectation of eventual profit contribution and written off over the expected life of the project. 
 
Provisions - The Company provide for amounts within the account where there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, where, in the opinion of management it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will flow from the company to settle the obligation and these benefits can be estimated reliably.
