STRATEGIC REPORT |
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2018
INTRODUCTION
The principal activity of the company throughout the year was the design, manufacture, sale and distribution of fruit and vegetable juices.
BUSINESS REVIEW
During the year there was a departure of A Leslie and subsequent appointment of
A J Rooke
with W Porter assuming 100% ownership of the company. The directors believe that this change of directorship is in the best interests of the company for the future.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The directors of the company continue to monitor the risks associated with foreign exchange and mitigate the impact of the weak Sterling. The business and its customers operate in a market whereby consumer choice and new product development is constantly evolving. The directors of the company remain committed to the future success of the business and are confident in growth and profitability and a significant programme of capital expenditure has been undertraken to bring new product opportunities to the market.
FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Gross profit was 55.3% in the year (2017: 12.6%).
The company remains committed to investment in staff development and training along with keeping high customer service levels.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
|
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2018
OPINION
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 auditor's 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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the director has not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
OTHER INFORMATION
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The director is responsible for the other information. 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 director's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the strategic report and the director's report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTOR
As explained more fully in the director's responsibilities statement, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2018

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
3.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to the 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.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Revenue recognition
Foreign currencies
Tangible assets
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Plant and machinery |
- |
10-20 years |
|
Fixtures and fittings |
- |
10 years |
|
Motor vehicles |
- |
5 years |
|
Office equipment |
- |
5 years |
|
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned to those units.
Stocks
Finance leases and hire purchase contracts
Assets obtained under hire purchase are capitalised as tangible fixed assets and are depreciated over their useful lives. 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 the statement of income and retained earnings so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
