Directors' report (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2022

Directors' responsibilities statement

The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' report, the Group strategic report and the consolidated 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period.

 In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:


select suitable accounting policies for the group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group 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 the group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Disclosure of information to auditor

Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' report is approved has confirmed that:
 
so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company and the group's auditor is unaware, and

the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company and the group's auditor is aware of that information.

Subsequent events

In August 2023, the majority of subsidiaries was transferred to another entity ultimately controlled by the same individuals. This transfer was achieved by means of an £11,592k dividend in specie which was valued at cost.
In October 2023, the remaining trading subsidiary was placed into administration and control was lost.
From October 2023, the Group has retained no trading subsidiaries. The sole remaining subsidiaries are non-trading and are retained to achieve maximum realisation on assets.

Group strategic report
For the year ended 31 December 2022

Principal activity
 
The principal activity of the company is that of a holding group focused on the acquisition and subsequent profitable organic growth of established, specialist UK industrial SME businesses.  Within this sector, the Group’s activities are concentrated on specialist maintenance, overhaul and services to safety critical energy, process and rail markets and production equipment and printing services to the electronic and electrical markets. 

Business review
 
The company and group performance in the year to 31 December 2022 have been consistent with its business model and the directors believe the group is in a strong position to continue to grow in all areas of its business.
The group achieved an EBITDA of £3.67m in the year (2021: £2.35m).

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The group’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk and cashflow risk. The group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Recent increases in the level of interest rates as a response to increased inflation will continue to impact on the cost of borrowings held within the group and the Directors continue to review all of the existing credit facilities and engage with the relevant financial institutions to manage the credit risk arising from the general economic situation.
With a strong focus on specialist engineering services in the safety critical energy, transportation and process industries, the Group is less exposed to the risks that could arise from a wider economic downturn.  However, the Directors continue to monitor the overall industrial activity and specific sector trends as one of their lead metrics. 
The group continues to have access to additional capital for working capital and acquisition funding purposes provided by its principal shareholder.

Financial key performance indicators
 
The group had consolidated net assets of £10.742m as at 31 December 2022 (2021: £15.677m). The company’s net assets have risen from £8.7m in 2021 to £17.1m as at 31 December 2022.

Other key performance indicators
 
Acquisitions during the year 
During the year ended 31 December 2022, the company/group acquired the following :
1. 100% of the issued share capital of Etrac Trading Limited, a company which provides services related to the maintenance and overhaul of control and power electrical equipment for rolling stock used on the UK overground rail sector; and 
2.  100% of the issued share capital of Bex Print & Design Limited which provides specialist print services for a wide range of industrial customers with an emphasis on the contract electrical and electronic manufacturing sectors.

Activity following the end of the financial year
Following the end of the financial year, as explained in note 31, the company has undertaken a group restructure. It is planned the group under Fawley Industrial Limited will hold no trading subsidiaries by the end of the 2023 financial year.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Fawley Industrial Limited
For the year ended 31 December 2022

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Fawley Industrial Limited ('the parent company') and its subsidiaries ('the group') for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated and Company Statements of financial position, the Consolidated and Company Statement of changes in equity, the Consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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 group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of the group's 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.


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 group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 group's or the parent 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 other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and  our Auditor's report thereon.  The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report.  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.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Fawley Industrial Limited (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2022

Other information (continued)
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 course of 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.


Opinion 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 Group 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 Group 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
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group strategic report or the Directors' report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the parent company 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 Directors' responsibilities statement, 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 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 directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent 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 group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Fawley Industrial Limited (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2022

Auditor's 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 an Auditor's report 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 Group financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

How the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud
and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
 
the Senior Statutory Auditor ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
we made enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, and their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
we identified the laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements through discussions with directors and other management at the planning stage;
the audit team held a discussion to identify any particular areas that were considered to be susceptible to misstatement, including with respect to fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;
we interacted with component auditors throughout the audit. Interactions with component auditors included, if applicable, formal written instructions and reviewing selected audit papers; and
we focused our planned audit work on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the group including the Companies Act 2006, employment legislation and taxation legislation.

We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through:
 
making enquiries of management;
making enquiries of component auditors; and
considering the internal controls in place that are designed to mitigate risks of fraud and non?compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
 
determined the susceptibility of the group to management override of controls by checking the implementation of controls and enquiring of individuals involved in the financial reporting process;
reviewed journal entries in components of the group audited by the group audit engagement team, to identify unusual transactions;
reviewed accounting estimates and evaluated where judgements or decisions made by management indicated bias on the part of the group’s management;
tested the existence of income and expenditure by substantively agreeing samples back to supporting documentation; and
reviewed the work of its component auditors in the above areas, where applicable.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Fawley Industrial Limited (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2022

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
In response to the risk of irregularities and non?compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included:
 
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; and
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.


Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.  The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.


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 Auditor's report.


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 2006Our 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
For the year ended 31 December 2022

1.


General information

The company is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 46/48 Beak Street, London, W1F 9RJ.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' ('FRS 102') and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires group management to exercise judgment in applying the group's accounting policies (see note 3).

The company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of comprehensive income in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its subsidiaries ("the group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Consolidated statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

 
2.3

Going concern

As discussed in note 31, significant changes to the Group after the year end has resulted in the cessation of trade. The Group accounts have however been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors have assessed that they have the necessary resources to keep the non-trading portions of the Group active and settle any liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signature of these financial statements.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods and services

Revenue from the sale of goods and services is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the group will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

 
2.5

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.6

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to 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. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.7

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

 
2.8

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the group has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the group in independently administered funds.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.9

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company and the group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits;
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

 
2.10

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the group's share of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis to the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income over its useful economic life.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

Negative goodwill

Negative goodwill is recognised when the cost of an acquisition is less than the fair value of net assets acquired. It is released to the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the non-monetary assets acquired in the acquisition are realised.

Page 21

 
Fawley Industrial Limited

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.11

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property
-
25-40 Years
Leasehold property
-
Shorter of Lease Term or 15 Years
Plant and machinery
-
3-8 Years
Motor vehicles
-
3 Years
Fixtures and fittings
-
3-8 Years
Office and Computer equipment
-
3 Years

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.12

Impairment of fixed assets and goodwill

Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication that the assets are impaired. Where there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit to which the asset has been allocated) is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's (or CGU's) fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGUs). Non-financial assets that have been previously impaired are reviewed at each reporting date to assess whether there is any indication that the impairment losses recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased.

 
2.13

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.14

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in statement of comprehensive income.

Fawley Industrial Limited

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.15

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.16

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the group's cash management.

 
2.17

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.18

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the group a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the reporting date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Consolidated statement of financial position.

 
2.19

Financial instruments

The group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.

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

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.19
Financial instruments (continued)

is recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the group would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

 
2.20

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements requires the directors to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The following are the group’s key sources of estimation uncertainty:
Amortisation of goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of its share of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Negative goodwill is released to profit or loss on the same timeline any non-monetary assets acquired in the purchase are realised. Positive goodwill is amortised over a period of 10 years.
Warranty provision
The warranty provision is estimated by the directors using historical data on previous claims and then extrapolated forward and adjusted for sales volume changes, inflation and other known factors such as product modifications introduced to reduce warranty failure or suppliers’ contributions to cover warranty costs. The fair value of the provision is calculated using a discounted cash flow model and is sensitive to the discount rate used.
Stock provision
The group manufactures products that are subject to changing consumer demands and fashion trends. As a result it is necessary to consider the recoverability of the cost of stock and the associated provisioning required. When calculating the stock provision, management considers the nature and condition of stock, as well as applying assumptions around anticipated saleability of finished goods and future usage of raw materials. 
Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual deprecation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.
Impairment of debtors
Management makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing the impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience.

Factors that may affect future tax charges

The corporation tax rate at 31 December 2022 was 19%. The government has enacted legislation to increase the
corporation tax rate from 1 April 2023. This rate will taper from 19% for businesses with profits of less than
£50,000 to 25% for businesses with profits over £250,000.

On 11 February 2022, Fiennes Restoration Holdings Limited, Fiennes Restoration Limited, Reliance Control Systems Limited, Rob Walker Engineering Limited and The Historic Engine Company Limited were disposed by the Group to a company connected by virtue of common ownership for a consideration of £1. The Group recognised a gain on disposal of £1,272k.
On 1 October 2022, the Group's holding in these entities was re-acquired from the same entity for the same
consideration. The results of Fiennes Restoration Limited, Reliance Control Systems Limited, Rob Walker
Engineering Limited and The Historic Engine Company Limited have been excluded from the consolidation from
this date as they are immaterial. Fiennes Restoration Holdings Limited has been included in the consolidation, with goodwill of £3,555k being recognised and impaired in the year. Fiennes Restoration Limited, the main trading
entity of this sub-group, was placed into administration in February 2023. The inclusion of theis sub-group from
the date of re-acquistion would have resulted in additional goodwill of £1,824k (as the entities had substantial net
liabilities) and an impairment charge of the same amount in the year ended 31 December 2022, together with a
gain on disposal of materially the same amount in the subsequent period. The directors consider that recognising
the impairment charge in the current year and a gain on disposal in the subsequent period, would give a
misleading representation of the results for the two periods and therefore consider it to be appropriate to exclude
this immaterial sub-group from the consolidation.

Subsequent events

In August 2023, the majority of the companies' subsidiaries was transferred to another entity ultimately controlled by the same individual. This transfer was achieved by means of a dividend in specie which was valued at cost.
Additionally, a significant portion of the share capital in the parent company was converted to distributable reserves, and significant dividends were declared.
In October 2023, the remaining trading subsidiary was placed into administration and control was lost.
From October 2023, the Group has retained no trading subsidiaries. The sole remaining subsidiaries are non-trading and are retained to achieve maximum realisation on assets. 


32.


Controlling party

The immediate and ultimate parent undertaking of the company is Amcomri Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The largest group for which consolidated accounts are prepared is headed by Fawley Industrial Limited.
Paul McGowan is considered the ultimate controlling party due to his majority share holding in Amcomri Holdings Limited.
