STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2016

Introduction
 
We aim to report a balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of our business and its position at the year end. Our review is consistent with the size and non-complex nature of our business and is written in the context of the risks and uncertainties we face.

Business review
 
This has been a year of mixed fortunes for Q-Mass Limited with a major relocation of the business being undertaken at a time when there has been a downturn in the oil industry which is its principal trading sector. As a result, the key financial performance indicators of turnover and profit have been impacted in the short to medium term with turnover decreasing from over £11 million in 2015 to less than £6 million, a drop of over 49%. These lower sales and simultaneous relocation costs have resulted in a loss of £484,383 for the current year compared to a profit of over £2.3million in 2015. The relocation and subsequent diversification of the business have set the company up for growth and will help return the figures to positive numbers in the future.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The main risks and uncertainties for the company are the ongoing downturn in the oil industry, and the challenges in diversifying the business into other industry sectors. The drop in the global oil price has resulted in substantially lower prices and order volumes over the year, but has allowed a relocation to be undertaken while production levels are lower. There have been some successes in introducing new customers and although starting slowly, each of these has high potential for growth. The ‘lower for longer’ oil price remains a concern but diversification into other sectors will provide opportunities to offset this.

Future developments
 
The company has relocated to larger premises during the lull in production activity and this will prepare the business for the anticipated recovery in the oil industry and potential growth into other sectors such as power generation and defence work. The extra space for growth will also enable other activities such as surface coating, assembly and testing to be considered. The medium to long term outlook still looks very positive with increased capabilities and reduced capacity from competitors.


This report was approved by the board on 27 October 2016 and signed on its behalf.

NOTES TO THE ABBREVIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2016

1.


General information

Q-Mass Limited is a private limited company incorporated in Scotland. 
The registered office is 1A Langlands Drive, Kelvin South Business Park, East Kilbride, G75 0YH.
The principal activity of the company is that of a specialised manufacturing company.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The full financial statements, from which these abbreviated financial statements have been extracted, have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards  and the Companies Act 2006.

Information on the impact of first-time adoption of FRS 102 is given in note 23.

The company adopted FRS 102 in the current year and an explanation of how transition to FRS 102 has affected the reported financial position and performance is given in note 23.

 
2.2

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors believe that the company has adequate resources to sustain and develop the business over the foreseeable future. The recent lower level of sales has been compounded by substantial ‘one time’ relocation costs including significant lost production time across all areas of the company. These relocation costs were particularly high over the last six months of the year and will continue to some extent into the following year’s figures. In order to help offset the short to medium term difficulties in the global oil industry the directors have taken significant steps to manage costs and also to diversify into other industry sectors including power generation and defence. There is significant potential for transferring the skills and capabilities into these sectors for the long term gain.

NOTES TO THE ABBREVIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2016

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Revenue

Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover 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 turnover is recognised:

Sale of goods

Turnover 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 turnover 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

Turnover 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 turnover 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.

 
2.4

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model, other than investment properties, 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.

NOTES TO THE ABBREVIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2016

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.4
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property
-
Straight line over 50 years
Plant and machinery
-
Straight line over 15 years
Fixtures and fittings
-
15% straight line
Office equipment
-
15% straight line

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 the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.

 
2.5

Investment property

Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by external valuers and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.

 
2.6

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.

 
2.7

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 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 Company's cash management.

 
2.8

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instruments 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 non-puttable ordinary shares.

 
2.9

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.

NOTES TO THE ABBREVIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2016

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.10

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 the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings 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 Income and Retained Earnings in the same period as the related expenditure.

 
2.11

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings 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.

 
2.12

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. Dividends on shares recognised as liabilities are recognised as expenses and classified within interest payable.

 
2.13

Leased assets: the Company as lessor

Where assets leased to a third party give rights approximating to ownership (finance lease), the lessor recognises as a receivable an amount equal to the net investment in the lease i.e. the minumum lease payments receivable under the lease discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. This receivable is reduced as the lessee makes capital payments over the term of the lease.

A finance lease gives rise to two types of income: profit or loss equivalent to the profit or loss resulting from outright sale of the asset being leased, at normal selling prices, reflecting any applicable discounts, and finance income over the lease term.

 
2.14

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 the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings 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.

 
2.15

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings using the effective interest method.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.16

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the year in which they are incurred.

 
2.17

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company 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 the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings 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.

 
2.18

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except that a change 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.

Explanation of changes to previously reported profit and equity:

1

A mixed use property was previously accounted for under fixed assets.  The proportion of the property leased has now been re-classified as an investment property. This has resulted in a reduction in deprecation for the prior year of £5,997.  The Investment Property was restated to cost therefore depreciation of £28,849 was written off as Gain on Investment Property.

2

Hire purchase lease agreements have been valued at an amortised cost using the effective rate of interest. This has resulted in an extra £21,575 worth of interest being charged in the prior year and 2014 and reduced corporation tax of £4,600.
