STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The Company is principally engaged in the manufacturing, processing and distribution of textile products.
Despite a backdrop that included a global pandemic, the aftermath of the 2019 fire in the coating operation and a large degree of uncertainty created by Brexit, the company was still able to generate an operating profit before exceptional items of £130k (2019: £389k).
The year started strongly, despite the lack of coating production in the first two months (as we repaired the damage caused by the fire).
The global Covid 19 pandemic began to impact the company from March in unprecedented ways.
The decision was taken to cease operations in late March, as time was taken to assess the health and safety impact of continuing operations to our workforce, and also to discuss the changing demand patterns of our key customers. Thankfully, we were able to safely restart operations (with new conditions) and gradually increase production during the second quarter.
However, demand has remained variable across the different sectors of the business, with some sectors returning to pre pandemic levels and other sectors remaining weak, particularly those associated with the leisure industry.
The company utilised the government furlough support scheme which contributed £600k to the results. Costs were kept under tight control with workers only being brought back from furlough in line with returning demand.
The decline in the European automotive sector impacted results but strong military demand and the increased interest in products for gardening were of benefit.
The company also took the opportunity to review its cost base and operating structure to identify any further efficiencies which could be achieved. As a result, redundancy costs of £179k were incurred during the year and a further £60k in relation to the re-organisation of the sales structure.
The final monies in relation to the sale of the Rawtenstall site to Taylor Wimpey of £896k were received and a further £65k was received in royalties following the successful sale of the PU operation in 2019.
Strong overall cash generation allowed the company to end the year with no bank debt, with net cash of £3.7 million (2019: £1.2 million).
This result is a tremendous testament to our employees, who have shown great commitment during these very challenging times and we are extremely grateful to them for this.
Key performance indicators
|
The Company has a number of key performance indicators, both financial and non-financial, that are used to manage the business.
2020 2019
Return on capital employed (pre-exceptional) 1.4% 2.3% (EBITDA/Shareholders' funds)
Debtor days 51 54 (Trade debtors/Turnover x 365 days)
Stock days 77 74 (Stock/Cost of sales x 365 days)
Reportable accidents per employee 0.0% 0.0% (Reportable accidents/Average
employees)

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Principal risks and uncertainties
|
The company carefully manages its exposure to key risks and uncertainties. Nevertheless, a number of risks and uncertainties are not fully under its control, which has been particularly evident during 2020 with the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic.
Major geo-political and economic conditions can quickly impact key markets - the global automotive and military examples are major sources of revenue which can be quickly impacted by macro-economic events.
Trading activity takes place in Euros, Sterling and US$. Whilst a certain degree of natural hedging exists, the Company is not fully protected against volatility in its key trading currencies.
The manufacturing operations depend on the availability of high quality raw materials, and the Company aims to maintain and develop relationships with a strategic supply base. This minimizes, but does not fully eliminate, the risks to raw material supply.
Demand has continued to be variable across the different sectors of the business with the impact of the global pandemic still being felt in certain sectors, although most are beginning to show some signs of improvement which is expected to continue.
The European automotive sector has felt the impact of the worldwide shortage of semi-conductors and the consequential closing of car plants. Despite these on-going challenges, the company is performing in line with expectations and retains its strong financial position.
The company is currently undertaking a review of it long term strategy and investment requirements. As a result, a great deal of consideration has been given to making both the weaving and coating operations more sustainable. Negotiations are on-going in this regard and further updates will follow.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2020
.
Directors' responsibilities statement
|
The directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, the 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 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 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 for the Company's financial statements 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 to 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.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £
435
thousand
(2019 -
£
1,190
thousand)
.
No dividends were declared in the current or prior period.
The directors who served during the year were:
The Directors have prepared forecasts for a period of at least 12 months following the date of the Auditor’s report. The Company’s forecasts are based on prudent trading and cash flow assumptions.
The Company had and continues to have significant headroom on its facilities whilst carefully managing its credit risk exposure. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to successfully manage its business risks and to have the expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue trading successfully. Consequently, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ATC MANUFACTURING LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of ATC Manufacturing Limited (the ‘Company’) for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the 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 FRS 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 2020 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 Auditor’s 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 audting 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

ATC MANUFACTURING LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ATC MANUFACTURING LIMITED

If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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

∙
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
In 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 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, 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.

ATC MANUFACTURING LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ATC MANUFACTURING LIMITED
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 3, 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 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 intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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 the 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. Based on our understanding of the company and its industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the UK tax legislation and non-compliance with implementation of government support schemes relating to COVID-19, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006.
We evaluated the directors’ and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to revenue cut off, stock valuation, stock provision, bad debt provision and property valuation.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to those identified risks, including non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) and fraud that are material to the financial statements. Our audit procedures included but were not limited to:
• Discussing with the directors and management their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
• Communicating identified laws and regulations throughout our engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
• Considering the risk of acts by the company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
• Making enquiries of the directors and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
• Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
• Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
• Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.

ATC MANUFACTURING LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ATC MANUFACTURING LIMITED
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.
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 the audit 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 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.

Accounting policies (continued)
The directors have prepared financial projections which include the actual and possible effects of the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic on the Company's trade. The projections forecast continued profitability and cash generation and show that the Company will continue to operate within its available facilities. The directors have considered a period in excess of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements in making this assessment.
As a consequence, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly the going concern basis of accounting continues to be appropriate in preparing the financial statements.

Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within 'administrative expenses'.

Accounting policies (continued)
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company 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
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙
the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
∙
the Company 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 Company 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.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
∙
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
∙
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
|
|
Operating leases: the Company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Accounting policies (continued)
The UK government has offered a range of financial support packages to help companies, including government backed financing arrangements, furlough schemes, deferment of VAT payments and, for some sectors, business rates holidays, Of the offered schemes, the company used the furlough scheme and deferral of VAT payments. The income from the furlough scheme has been recognised within 'Other operating income'. They are recognised when the entity has reasonable assurance that they will comply with the conditions attaching the grant, and that the grant will be received.
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.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company 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 balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
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 balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Research and Development expenditure claims are accounted for on a cash receipts basis. The claims are prepared and submitted much after the financial year end to which they relate. At the Balance Sheet date the possibility of a claim is not wholly known and the value of such a claim cannot be measured reliably.
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
2.
Accounting policies (continued)
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.
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.
At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
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:
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.
|
|
Revaluation of tangible fixed assets
|
Individual freehold and leasehold properties are carried at current year value at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date.
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers.
Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss.

Accounting policies (continued)
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 balance sheet 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 profit or loss.
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.
|
|
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.
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.
The Company 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 is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Accounting policies (continued)

|
Financial instruments (continued)
|
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 Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the reporting date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.
Critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies
The critical judgements that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the statutory financial statements are discussed below.
(i) Assessing indicators of impairment
In assessing whether there have been any indicators of impairment assets, the directors have considered both external and internal sources of information such as market conditions, counterparty credit ratings and experience of recoverability and where applicable, the ability of the asset to be operated as planned.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty, that have a heightened possibility of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(i) Sales returns provision
The Company establishes a provision for expected sales returns. The provision is calculated based on historic sales returns information which is then applied to sales made during the period. As the provision estimate is made at the reporting date the actual outcome will differ from the estimate.
(ii) Recoverability of receivables
The Company establishes a provision for receivables that are expected not to be recoverable. When assessing recoverability the directors have considered factors such as the aging of the receivables, past experience of recoverability, and the credit profile of individual or groups of customers.
(iii) Stock provision
An aged stock provision is in place to provide for stock which is not expected to be utilised in the normal course of trade in future years. Stock which has not been utilised in more than one year is considered for impairment, management apply a specific percentage write down to such stock based on their knowledge and experience of similar stock lines.
(iv) Stock Valuation
Stock valuation is a management estimate. Within ATC Manufacturing Limited a significant proportion of the stock value comprises work in progress. Management absorb various costs into the stock value including materials costs, labour costs and other indirect costs. Management utilise job costing systems which aim to track all costs incurred in producing the work in progress.

Judgments in applying accounting policies (continued)
(v) Property Valuation
Freehold Properties are held at valuation. The value of the properties is significant and formally valuations by independent qualified valuers are undertaken periodically. Management assess the fair value of these properties at each reporting date. Management will take into account a number of factors and make a number of assumptions when making their assessment.
