Strategic Report for the Year Ended 30 September 2014

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 September 2014.

Business review

Fair review of the business

The busimess suffered a significant decrease in turnover during the year. Some of this was the result of a disproportionate protraction in the placement of contracts and some was due to a significant retail client reducing their requirement. Gross profit increased slightly to 43% indicating that both pricing and material cost control remained intact, however the fixed overhead coupled with additional spend on IT, R&D and pensions, hurt the bottom line.

Measures have been put in place to assist the management team in meeting the requirements of a changing market and client base and the contruction industry, from which the company draws most of its business, is recovering. We expect selling prices to remain under pressure through 2015 and material prices to increase slightly, however this is not expected to significantly affect our results.

A large volume of testing to a recently published British Standard will put pressure on the business' cash resources and will reduce the available profit for 2015 but the business has sufficient funding in place to accommodate this. We believe that it will be a tough year, given the additional spend on testing, but we are confident that we will make a significant step forward.

The company's key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows:

Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the company are considered to be:
- The company is dependent upon obtaining work through a competitive bidding process;
- Fluctuations in the price and supply of raw materials used to manufacture our product;
- The level of general economic activity affects the number and size of capital projects undertaken by our existing and potential customers; and
- The withdrawal of the British Standard for our product and the certification attached.

Main Systems Limited
Directors' Report for the Year Ended 30 September 2014

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2014.

Directors of the company

The directors who held office during the year were as follows:

Mr Steve Mainstone - Chairman

Mrs Margaret M A Mainstone

Financial instruments

Objectives and policies

The directors have reviewed their financial risk management policies and consider them to be adequate.

Price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk

The business' principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, bank overdrafts, trade debtors, trade creditors to the business and finance lease agreements. The main purpose of these instruments is to finance the business' operations.

In respect of bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between the continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts. All of the business' cash balances are held in such a way that achieves a competitive rate of interest. The business makes use of money market facilities where funds are available.

Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful debts.

Trade creditors' liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due.

Loans comprise loans from directors and from financial institutions. The interest rate and monthly repayments on the loans from financial institutions are variable. The business manages the liquidity risk by ensuring that there are sufficient funds to meet the payments.

The business is a lessee in respect of finance leased assets. The liquidity risk in respect of these is managed by ensuring that there are sufficient funds to meet the payments.

Research and development

The business carries out research and development in several areas. New and innovative product to meet the core client base and inprovements to materials and performance on existing product. In addition, the business is always looking to introduce sympathetic products to fully utilise its facilities and increase its exposure to different markets and it is constantly developing the in-house ERP systems.

Disclosure of information to the auditor

Each director has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information. The directors confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and which they know the auditor is unaware of.

Main Systems Limited
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual 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 of 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 apply them consistently;

make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent
; and

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.

 

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of
Main Systems Limited

We have audited the financial statements of Main Systems Limited for the year ended 30 September 2014, set out on pages 8 to 23. 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).

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.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditor

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities (set out on page 5), the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s (APB’s) Ethical Standards for 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 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 Annual Report and Financial Statements 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 the financial statements

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at

30 September 2014

and of its

loss

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.

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.

 

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of
Main Systems Limited
 
 ......... continued

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, 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.

Net realisable value is based on selling price less anticipated costs to completion and selling costs. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Contracts that are at least 50% complete are valued at their sales value, and included in the Balance Sheet as amounts recoverable on contracts and in the Profit and loss account within sales. Provision is made for any foreseeable losses on all contracts, irrespective of the level of completion of the contract at the Balance Sheet date.




Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised, without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes, which have arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except as required by FRS19. Deferred tax is measured at the rates that are expected to apply in the periods when the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on the tax rates and law enacted at the balance sheet date.

Hire purchase and leasing

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Where shares are issued, any component that creates a financial liability of the company is presented as a liability in the balance sheet. The corresponding dividends relating to the liability component are charged as interest expense in the profit and loss account.

Pensions

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period in which they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
