Strategic Report |
Year ended 31 March 2020
Business review
The company's principal activities are waste recycling and diversion processing. During the year ended 31 March 2020 sales reflected a year of reasonable growth for the business. Turnover increased by 6.9% compared with turnover in the year ended 31 March 2019. The company maintains its long term commitment to 'recycling and diversion'. A dividend of £50,000 (2019: £35,000) was paid to Niramax Holdings Limited (Parent Company) in the year.
Principal risks and uncertainties
In a difficult economic environment, the company continues to work towards improving its operating margins and safeguard against the continued risk of bad debts. Further environmental pressure on the UK market will support the company's long term drive towards 'zero to landfill'.

Disclosure of information in the strategic report
Directors' responsibilities statement
The directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, directors' report 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 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 judgments 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.
Auditor
Each of the persons who is a director at the date of approval of this report confirms that:
-
so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware; and - they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.

Year ended 31 March 2020
Opinion
Basis for 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 directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the directors have 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
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 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
Responsibilities of directors
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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 an auditor's report 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements |
Year ended 31 March 2020
1.
General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is John Shadforth House, Thomlinson Road, Longhill Industrial Estate, Hartlepool, TS25 1NS.
2.
Statement of compliance
3.
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
Revaluation of tangible fixed assets
At the current year end the Director's are of the opinion that the valuation of the freehold property in the financial statements remains true and fair.
Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in the statement of total recognised gains and losses unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the losses are recognised in the profit and loss account.
Invoice financing
Secured funding obtained in respect of trade debtors are treated as received under a financing agreement with the gross amount of the trade debtors being included in debtors and any advances received against these debts being included in other creditors. Interest and charges in respect of these arrangements are charges to the profit and loss account on an accruals basis.
Going concern
The directors, having made due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the company has adequate working capital to execute its operations over the next 12 months. The directors therefore, have made an informed judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As a result the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Disclosure exemptions
The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. Its financial statements are consolidated into the financial statements of Niramax Holdings Limited which can be obtained from Companies House. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: No cash flow statement has been presented for the company on the grounds that the company is wholly owned and its parent publishes a consolidated cash flow statement.
Investments
Investments held as fixed assets are shown at costs less provision for impairment.
Provisions
Provisions are uncertain in timing or amount, and are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event and the outflow of economic benefit is probable and can be estimated reliably. Judgement is involved in determining whether an obligation exists, and in estimating the probability, timing and amount of any outflows.
Provisions for legal proceedings and regulatory matters typically require a higher degree of judgement than other types of provisions. When matters of dispute are at an early stage, accounting judgements can be difficult because of the high degree of uncertainty associated with determining whether a present obligation exists as a result of a past event, estimating the probability of outflows and making estimates of the amount of any outflows that may arise. Management evaluate on an ongoing basis whether provisions should be recognised as well as their estimated amounts as matters progress through many stages of development, revising previous judgements and estimates as appropriate.
At more advanced stages, it is typically possible to make judgements and estimates around a better-defined set of possible outcomes, however, such judgements can be very difficult and the amount of any provision can be very sensitive to the assumptions used. There could be a wide range of possible outcomes for any pending legal proceedings, investigations or enquiries. As a result, it is often not practicable to quantify a range of possible outcomes for individual matters. Quantifying ranges of potential outcomes for these types of provisions is also not practicable because of the diverse nature and circumstances of such matters and the wide range of uncertainties involved.

Revenue recognition
Income tax
Foreign currencies
Operating leases
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:
Freehold property & land |
- |
|
|
Leasehold improvements |
- |
|
|
Plant & machinery |
- |
|
|
Fixtures & equipment |
- |
|
|
Motor Vehicles |
- |
|
|
Impairment of fixed assets
Stocks
Finance leases and hire purchase contracts
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
