Strategic Report |
For The Year Ended 31 August 2020 |
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 August 2020. |
|
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The directors consider that the company has had as successful year as could have been hoped for in the circumstances, in particular acquiring a business in Middlesbrough resulting in major expansion of the trailer fleet. Longstone Tyres experienced reduced attendance at vintage car events but continued to operate through other channels. The group acquisition will enable the company to serve additional markets it didn't cover previously for trailer hire and sales. The operations are merging successfully into the company's systems and methodologies. |
|
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The directors consider that the main economic risks facing the company are: |
|
i) Significant increase in interest rates. |
ii) Foreign exchange rate fluctuations. |
iii) Utilisation of the trailer fleet. |
iv) The general economic climate. |
v) Implications arising from Brexit. |
vi) Effects of the coronavirus pandemic and the government's response. |
|
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
The directors consider that the key performance indicators for the year are as follows: |
|
Turnover has decreased 3%. (2019: increased 8.3%). |
Gross profit margin is 33% (2019: 35%) |
Net profit before tax is 6% of turnover. (2019: 4%) |

|
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). 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 ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
|
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Allotts Business Services Limited,will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
|
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
|

|
|
|
|
|
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
John Hudson Trailers Ltd |
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of John Hudson Trailers Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 August 2020 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, 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 August 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 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 |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: |
- | the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or |
- | the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
|
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 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 |
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. |
|
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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
John Hudson Trailers Ltd |
|
|
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, 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. |
|
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. |

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
|
John Hudson Trailers Ltd is a
|
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The company's only subsidiary undertaking has not traded since acquisition so is immaterial. Therefore consolidated accounts have not been produced and these financial statements present information only about the company and not about its group. |
|
Turnover |
Turnover represents the value of goods and services provided to outside customers excluding value added tax and sales of fixed assets. |
|
Turnover from sales of goods and services is recognised when the goods are delivered, the service has been provided in full or the company obtained the right to consideration. Turnover from trailer hire is recognised over the period in which the trailer is available for the customer's use. |
|
Goodwill |
|
|
Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price of the subsidiary undertaking acquired in the year and the net book value of the assets immediately transferred to this company, leaving the new subsidiary non trading. Strict application of accounting standards would require an impairment to be recognised in the profit and loss account. This would not reflect the commercial reality of the situation so a true and fair override had been applied to reclassify the difference as goodwill. The value of goodwill capitalised less the amortisation to date amounts to £2,059,258. |
|
Tangible fixed assets |
|
Freehold property | - |
|
Trailers & Hire Vehicles | - |
|
Plant and machinery | - |
|
Motor vehicles | - |
|
|
Cost includes all expenditure necessary to bring the asset to its operational location and condition. |
|
Government grants |
Government grants are recognised in the profit and loss account in the same period in which the related expense is incurred. |
|
Stocks and work in progress |
Stock and work in progress are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a first in first out basis. Parts stock is valued at standard cost but lines which have no movement in the preceding twelve months are not valued. |
|
Work in progress represents incomplete workshop work undertaken over a short period of time. It is valued at actual cost for each job using hourly labour rates. |
|
Financial instruments |
Debtors and creditors are valued at the amount expected to be received or paid less any future interest charges. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
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 balance sheet date. |
|
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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. |
|
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
|
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. 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 profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
|
Pension costs |
The company operates a non-contributory defined contribution pension scheme for directors and selected employees. The funds are administered by trustees and are independent of the company's finances. Contributions are charged to revenue in the period to which they relate. |
|
3. | TURNOVER |
|
The turnover and profit before taxation are attributable to the principal activities of the company. |
