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.

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.

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:
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
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.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
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.

Main Systems Limited
......... continued
