STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2022. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The results for the year and financial position of the company are shown in the annexed financial statements. |
2022 has proven to be a turbulent year due to the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit but the company has managed to remain stable throughout the period. The company noted a significant increase in revenue to £18.5 million (2021: £15.0 million). |
The company has managed to invest in new machinery within the year. |
Despite another challenging year there has been a strong cash balance and stability achieved during the 12 month period, with a cash balance of £3.2 million at 31 December 2022. |
The Manchester showroom remains a very strong asset to the business and enables major contracts to be won. |
As a company we are proud to be part of the ISO, FIRA and FFC certifications. These are an excellent asset to the company. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The company maintains its responsible approach to financial risk management, and has maintained credit insurance cover to further ensure business stability. |
The company operates within a highly competitive market and faces competition from within the United Kingdom and overseas. The company manages this risk by researching and developing new and innovative product ranges. |
As legislation continues to increase minimum wages and pension contributions, the company will notice increasing staff costs which will potentially impact on profit margins. Directors will continue to manage staff levels and review the margin effect. |
During 2022 the company continued to experience product cost increases and extended lead times from suppliers. This was caused by the pandemic and Brexit. This posed a risk to the trading of the company and was managed by key members of staff on a daily and weekly basis. Working capital management will be key to the ongoing stability of the business. The company has good controls and systems in place, which are constantly reviewed to effectively manage this risk. |
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
The directors believe the key performance indicators of the company are as follows: |
i) Monthly sales data - compared to forecasts and prior year results |
ii) Net profit - compared with budgeted results |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |

The company will develop and expand ranges to keep the company at the forefront of our industry. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |

DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2022 to the date of this report. |
DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
Identification of the information for which the company has chosen, in accordance with S414C(11) of the Companies Act, to set out in the company's strategic report which would otherwise be required by Schedule 7 of the 'Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008' to be contained in the directors' report. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 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 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. |
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. |
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 company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
IMPERIAL OFFICE FURNITURE LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03858693) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
AUDITORS |
DTE Business Advisers Limited has indicated its willingness to be reappointed for another term and appropriate arrangements are being made for it to be deemed reappointed as auditor in the absence of an Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
IMPERIAL OFFICE FURNITURE LTD |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Imperial Office Furniture Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of its profit 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. |
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 Auditors' 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 |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
IMPERIAL OFFICE FURNITURE LTD |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
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. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, the directors are 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 directors determine 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 directors are 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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
As part of our planning process: |
- We enquired of management the systems and controls the company has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are mostly susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. The company did not inform us of any known, suspected or alleged fraud. |
- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company. We determined that the following were most relevant: FRS 102, Companies Act 2006, Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and National Minimum Wage act 1998. |
- We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the company, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly. |
- Using our knowledge of the company, together with the discussions held with the company at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
IMPERIAL OFFICE FURNITURE LTD |
The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included: |
- Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular those that were material or unusual. |
- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied. |
- Reviewing and challenging the assumptions and judgements used by management in their significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to fixed asset depreciation rates, residual values and provisions for bad debts. |
- Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations in particular those that are central to the entities ability to continue in operation, as identified at planning above. |
- Performing a physical verification of key assets. |
- Documenting and verifying all significant related party balances and transactions. |
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with the directors. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
Use of our report |
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. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Imperial Office Furniture Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. Its registered number is 03858693 and its registered office address is The Exchange, 5 Bank Street, Bury, Lancashire, BL9 0DN. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going concern |
The company had net assets of £6,795,084 at the year end (2021: £5,894,955) and cash reserves of £3,157,741 (2021: £2,589,288). The company continues to generate profits post year end. The directors have prepared a budget for the next 12 months. |
The directors believe that the company can manage the risks at these challenging times and therefore continue to adopt a going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. |
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": |
• | the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; |
• | the requirement of paragraph 33.7. |
Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
Revenue |
Revenue comprises the aggregate of the fair value of the sales of goods, net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts. Revenue is recognised when a right to consideration has been obtained through performance under each contract. Consideration accrues as contract activity progresses by reference to the value of work performed. Revenue is not recognised where the right to receive payment is contingent on events outside the control of the company. |
Unbilled revenue is included in debtors as 'Amounts recoverable on contracts'. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Property, plant and equipment |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
Land | - not provided |
Freehold properties | - Straight line over 20 years |
Improvements to property | - 15% on reducing balance |
Plant and machinery | - 15% on reducing balance, |
- 10% on reducing balance and |
- Over the period of the lease |
Fixtures and fittings | - 15% on reducing balance |
Motor vehicles | - 25% on reducing balance and |
- Over the period of the lease |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. |
The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. The effects of any revision are recognised in the income statement when the change arises. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Costs, which comprise direct production costs, are based on the method most appropriate to the type of inventory class, but usually on a first-in-first-out basis. Overheads are charged to the statement of comprehensive income as incurred. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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 statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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 profits. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to related parties. |
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. |
Basic financial liabilities are initially measured at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost. |
Dividends |
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable and are no longer at the discretion of the company. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the statement of financial position. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
All other leases are treated as operating leases. The annual rentals are charged to the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they become payable. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate. |
Government grants |
Grants are accounted for under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. |
In the previous year the company benefitted from the Government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ('Furlough'). Furlough income has been recognised in "other income" in the same period as the related wage costs. |
The company has not directly benefitted from any other forms of government assistance. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Critical accounting estimates and judgements |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make estimates and judgements. The estimates are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates are continually evaluated. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised. |
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below. |
In categorising leases as finance or operating leases, the directors make judgements as to whether significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the company as lessee. |
Determining the useful economic life of an asset is considered a key judgement in calculating an appropriate depreciation charge. |
Estimating the anticipated residual value of an asset is considered a key estimation in calculating an appropriate depreciation charge. |
3. | REVENUE |
The revenue and profit before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the company, and arose entirely within the UK. |

For financial years beginning after 1 April 2023, the corporation tax main rate will be increased to 25% for profits over £250,000. A small profits rate (SPR) will also be introduced for companies with profits of £50,000 or less so that they will continue to pay corporation tax at 19%. Companies with profits between £50,000 and £250,000 will pay tax at the main rate reduced by marginal relief. The directors are not aware of any other factors that will materially affect the future tax charge. |
