Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 March 2022 |
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2022. |
|
Review of business |
During the period Incorporatewear has continued to respond and react to the global economic and social pressures, including but not limited to the fall out of Covid-19. Whilst Incorporatewear has proudly stayed operational through the UK lockdown providing our customers' key workers in the healthcare, transport, banking and security sectors with the uniforms they require, the impact of Covid-19 has been significant on our customers in the airline, tourism and retail sectors, which in turn has led to a significant reduction our sales in the financial period. |
|
Sales showed an increase of 70.79% from the previous financial year, this is primarily due to the prior period only being for 9 months to March 2021 in combination with that period also suffering the effects of Covid-19. Whilst gross margin have reduced to 13.45% from 19.25%. |
|
The business embraces the ownership by Direct Corporate Clothing Plc and the continuous improvement in principals, policies, processes and ethical controls required by any large organisation. Share best practice and resource sharing also continue to develop to keep pace with the ever-changing world economy. The business has continued to focus on improving offshore manufacturing costs to mitigate inflationary pressures. |
|
With continued uncertainty around the economy following Covid-19, the Director's remain cautious about future growth and customer behaviour. Whilst Britains departure from the European Union has been settled, the Company is investigating the impacts of the "Country of Origin" rules and the impact of potential double duty which may be incurred on the export of certain goods into the EU. This coupled with increased paperwork requirements will have implications in the short term, mainly associated with the smoothness of trade, however plans are in place to ensure the Company's supply chain continues as normal and adapts to these challenges faced. |
|
Principal risks and uncertainties |
The significant risks and uncertainties are set out below. |
|
The global impact of Covid has led to unprecedented uncertainties around future demand from our customers, particularly in the airline, tourism and retail sectors. The Company is mitigating these uncertainties where possible by utilising out long established customer relationships to provide as much insight into future demand as possible. The Company is also actively working with customers to manage stock levels. |
|
The price of many raw materials is dependent upon movements in commodity prices. In order to reduce the risk, the Company sources from various suppliers across the world enabling sources of supply to be switched. |
|
The majority of the Company's purchases are denominated in foreign currency, particularly Euro and US Dollars. Historically the Company has reduced exposure to currency fluctuations by using the Treasury facilities offered by the previous parent company to minimise risk where possible. The Company now mitigates currency exposure by the placing of forward hedging deals. |
|
The Company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Company's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company's exposure to bad debts is not significant. |
|
In common with other industrial business the Company is subject to risks associated with the environment. The Company manages these risks by continual review of its processes to identify opportunities for improvement, whilst ensuring that the supply chain standards are met or exceeded at all times. |

|
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 |
Haines Watts Birmingham LLP are deemed to be re-appointed under section 487 (2) of the Companies Act 2006. |

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Incorporatewear Limited |
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Incorporatewear Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 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 March 2022 and of its 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 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. |
|
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 |
Incorporatewear Limited |
|
|
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. |
|
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
|
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to both the company itself and the industry in which it operates. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience and through discussion with the directors and other management. The most significant were identified as the Companies Act 2006, UK GAAP (FRS102) and relevant tax legislation. |
|
We considered the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statements. Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to: |
|
- |
making enquires of directors and management as to where they consider there to be a susceptibility to
fraud and whether they have any knowledge or suspicion of fraud; |
- |
obtaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or
non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
- | assessing the design effectiveness of the controls in place to prevent and detect fraud; |
- | assessing the risk of management override including identifying and testing journal entries; |
- |
challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting
estimates. |
|
Whilst our audit did not identify any significant matters relating to the detection of irregularities including fraud, and despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK), there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit, and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularity would likely involve collusion, forgery, intentional 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 Report of the Auditors. |

|
The accounts for the current period have been prepared for 12 months to 31 March 2022 the previous period financial statements where prepared for 9 months to 31 March 2021. |
|
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors believe to be appropriate. The board has carried out a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the company and identified no significant uncertainties in relation the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. |
|
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |

|
This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Direct Corporate Clothing Plc as at 31 March 2022 and these financial statements may be obtained from its registered office or directly from Companies House. |
|
Significant judgements and estimates |
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from those estimates and judgements. Where appropriate, details of estimates and assumptions used are set out in the relevant notes to the accounts. |
|
The key figures in the accounts that are most sensitive to estimates and assumptions are: |
- |
|
Stock provision- the Company makes a provision against those stock items in which recoverability
is uncertain, in assessing stock provisions the Company takes account of the number of units despatched over a 12 month period as compared to the number of units held in stock with the provision made against those items in excess of 12 months stock. |
Impairment of property, plant and equipment - the Company performs an impairment review when indications of impairment exist. Impairment testing requires an estimate of future cash flows and the application of suitable discount rate. |

|
Turnover |
Revenue is recognised to the extent that the company obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer. The Company has two distinct points where these risks and rewards are passed, on receipt of goods into the Company warehouse and on dispatch to customers. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, VAT and other sales tax and duty. |
|
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: |
- | the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred 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 consideration due under the transaction; and |
- | the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably |
|
Intangible assets |
Intangibles assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Computer software is initially recorded at cost. Where these assets have been acquired through a business combination, this will be the fair value allocated in the acquisition accounting. Where these have been acquired other than through a business combination, the initial cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset. Computer software and other intangible assets are amortised over their useful lives on straight line basis with the amortisation charge included within other operating expenses. |
|
Estimated useful life is the shorter of legal duration and economic useful life, which represents the directors best estimate of the period over which the asset may be used to generate significant economic benefits to this. |
|
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. |
|
Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value based on prices prevailing at the acquisition, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: |
|
Plant and machinery | 10 - 20% straight line |
Fixtures and fittings | 10 - 33% straight line |
Leasehold improvements | 10% straight line |
Leasehold land & buildings | 5 - 20% straight line |
|
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
|
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, which is arrived at as follows: |
|
Raw materials | - | purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis |
Work in progress and finished goods | - |
actual cost of direct materials and labour plus attributable
overheads based on a normal level of activity but excluding borrowing costs |
|
Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less any further costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal. |
|
Stocks held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of replacement cost and cost, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential. |

|
Financial instruments |
Basic financial instruments |
Trade and other debtors/creditors |
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of instrument for a similar debt instrument. |
|
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only of the cash flow statement. |
|
Other financial instruments - interest-bearing borrowings classified as basic financial instruments |
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses. |
|
Financial instruments not considered to be basic financial instruments |
Other financial instruments not meeting the definition of basic financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition other financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes recognised in profit or loss except as follows: |
|
> |
investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair value cannot otherwise
be measured reliably shall be measured at cost less impairment; and |
> | hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship shall be recognised as set out below. |
|
Derivative financial instruments and hedging |
Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value. The gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged. |
|
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 arising on translation are recognised in the profit and loss account. |

|
Pension costs |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
|
Provisions |
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, that can be reliably measured and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. |

Factors the may effect future tax charges |
The main rate of corporation tax in force at the Statement of Financial Position date was 19%. A resolution to amend the corporation tax rate from 1 April 2023 was passed on 3 March 2021, at which point the main rate of corporation tax will increase to 25%. A small profits rate of 19% for companies with profits not exceeding £50k will take effect from the same date. |
|
The deferred taxation balance has therefore been calculated at 25%, being the rate substantively enacted at the Statement of Financial Position date. |
