GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2017 |
The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended |
31st March 2017. |
OVERVIEW |
The consolidated group has experienced excellent results during the last financial year, both in its loose and |
bagged aggregate turnover and ready mixed concrete sales. |
OBJECTIVES |
The group's overall objective, as an independent operator, is to maintain its high reputation of customer |
satisfaction, providing quality products at competitive prices, delivering on time with the focus on ensuring |
repeat business. |
The group's approach to remaining a successful business is to embrace established Quality Systems in |
conjunction with recognised Health and Safety processes which ensure the safety of its employees and |
confidence within the customer base with respect to the products and services available. |
Matters of environmental importance are also high on the group's agenda as it has a vision of being a |
prominent player in enhancing local and regional policies established to improve modern living for all. |
PERFORMANCE |
The group's external turnover increased to £24.946m in the last financial year, providing a net profit before |
taxation of 2.327m. This was achieved by controlling fixed overheads at sustainable levels whilst creating |
increases in sales in conjunction with careful control of costs of production and procurement of raw |
materials and services. |
The group acquired and successfully implemented a dredging vessel during the year. This has resulted in |
lower costs of marine products by acquiring these by internal means, therefore replacing the cost of more |
expensive sub-contract activities. |
The group's management structure is such that the upturn in business has been well controlled with the use of |
sophisticated operating and financial systems which provide measured data and information enabling day to |
day and longer term decisions to be made. |
The group has maintained suitable levels of staff in all departments to ensure smooth running of performance |
and also employment satisfaction. |
The Balance Sheet and Asset Value of the Group has strengthened as a result of the increased financial |
activity with assets being continually reviewed to ensure future performance is suitably catered for. |

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2017 |
FUTURE OUTLOOK AND RISK MANAGEMENT |
The directors view the future as being very bright with activity levels being maintained for a considerable |
time to come, therefore the expectation for the ensuing year is continued profitability. |
Further sales opportunities will be considered accordingly, but always with availability of resources being |
uppermost on the agenda when making decisions for the future. Risk management is therefore important, |
giving consideration at all times to availability of supplies, staffing levels, asset structure and funding |
criteria. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
KENDALL BROS (PORTSMOUTH) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 00478188) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2017 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year |
ended 31st March 2017. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the group in the year under review was that of a sand/ballast merchant and |
concrete/cement supplier. |
DIVIDENDS |
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31st March 2017. |
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1st April 2016 to the date of |
this report. |
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
The group's operations expose it to a number of financial risks that include credit risk, interest rate risk and |
movement in the price of raw materials. There is no exposure to foreign exchange risk as the group sells all |
it's products in Sterling. |
Credit risk is managed regularly by reviewing credit status of customers and stopping supplies where |
necessary. The group has a good track record with regard to bad debts and continues to strive to minimise |
losses in this area. Interest rate risk is controlled by having a good mix of fixed and variable rate debt. |
Fluctuations in prices are difficult to manage, however, are passed on to the customer whenever possible. |
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
Given the straightforward nature of the business, the group's directors are of the opinion that analysis using |
KPI's is not necessary for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the business. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the |
financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law |
the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally |
Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including |
Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of |
Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied |
that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and 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 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. |
KENDALL BROS (PORTSMOUTH) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 00478188) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2017 |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain |
the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial |
position of the company and the group 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 the group |
and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the |
Companies Act 2006) of which the group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
KENDALL BROS (PORTSMOUTH) LIMITED |
We have audited the financial statements of Kendall Bros (Portsmouth) Limited for the year ended |
31st March 2017 on pages eight to thirty four. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in |
their preparation is 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'. |
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. |
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors |
Scope of the audit of the financial statements |
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient |
to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether |
caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to |
the group's and the parent company's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately |
disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall |
presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information |
in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors to identify material inconsistencies with the |
audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, |
or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we |
become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for |
our report. |
Opinion on financial statements |
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 31st March 2017 and of the group's profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, the information given in the Group |
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 has been prepared in accordance with applicable |
legal requirements. In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and |
its environment, we have not identified any material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the |
Report of the Directors. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
KENDALL BROS (PORTSMOUTH) LIMITED |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
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 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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets, other than land and buildings, 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. |
The group adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an |
item when that cost is incurred if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future |
benefits to the group. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and |
maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the period in which they |
are incurred. |
Freehold land is not depreciated. |
Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost or valuation of all tangible fixed assets to their |
estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. |
The expected useful lives are as follows:- |
Buildings | 50 years |
Wharf and quay | 25 years |
Dredgers and launches | 15 years |
Mobile plant and cranes | 10 years |
Fixed plant and machinery | 7 years |
Lorries, tractors and cars | 7 years |
Bespoke computer software | 10 years |
Computer equipment | 5 years |
Fixtures and fittings | 5 years |
Investments |
Investments in subsidiaries are held at cost less accumulated impairment losses. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for |
obsolete and slow moving items. |
Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Cost includes the purchase price, |
including taxes and duties, transport and handling directly attributable to bringing the stock to its |
present location and condition. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated |
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 tax |
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 |

Employee benefits |
The group provides a range of benefits to employees, including annual bonus arrangements, defined |
contribution pension plans and paid holiday arrangements. |
(i) Short term benefits |
Short term benefits, including holiday pay and other similar non-monetary benefits, are recognised as |
an expense in the period in which the service is received. |
(ii) Defined contribution pension plans |
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. A defined contribution |
pension plan is a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. |
Once the contributions have been paid the group has no further payment obligations. The |
contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. The assets of the plan are held |
separately from the group in independently administered funds. |
(iii) Annual bonus plan |
The group operates an annual bonus plan for employees. An expense is recognised when the group |
has a legal or constructive obligation to make payments under the plan as a result of past events and a |
reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. |
Financial instruments |
In preparing these financial statements, the financial instruments are recognised as follows: |
(i) Financial assets |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances are initially |
recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the |
transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of |
interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
(ii) Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade creditors and other payables including bank loans are |
initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, |
where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a |
market rate of interest. |
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the |
extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. |
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary |
course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is |
due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are |
recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the |
effective interest method. |

Significant judgements and estimates |
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements: |
(i) Determine whether leases entered into by the group either as a lessor or a lessee are operating |
leases or finance leases. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards |
of ownership have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee on a lease by lease basis. |
(ii) Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the group's tangible assets. Factors taken |
into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future |
financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating unit, the |
viability and expected future performance of that unit. |
(iii) Determine whether the group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past |
event, if it is probable that the group will be required to settle such obligation and if a reliable |
estimate can be made of the amount of such obligation. |
(iv) Determine whether a financial instrument is basic or advanced. Basic instruments are carried at |
historic cost. Non basic instruments are measured at the present value of the future receipts |
discounted at a market rate of interest. |
Key estimation uncertainties are: |
(i) Tangible fixed assets, other than land, are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account |
residual values where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed |
annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as |
technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. |
Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the |
asset and projected disposal values. |
(ii) The amount the group recognises as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required |
to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and |
uncertainties surrounding the obligation. |
(iii) The group makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing |
impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including current credit rating |
of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. |
