Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 28 February 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 28 February 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The annexed financial statements indicate the results for the year along with the financial standing and accounting details of the company. |
G Walters (Leasing) Limited continually monitors group requirements for plant and machinery and vehicles and invests in the fleet accordingly. The company has no borrowings and both liquidity and reserves are very strong. Together with good relationships with customers and suppliers, this puts the company in an excellent position to make the most of business opportunities that arise in the new financial year. |
Key financial highlights |
The key financial highlights are as follows: |
2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 |
Gross profit margin | 77.53% | 32.06% | 36.87% | 43.93% |
Profit before tax | 82.16% | 30.14% | 34.26% | 41.04% |
Gearing ratio | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
During the financial year the worldwide economy has had a period of sustained instability as a consequence of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. All areas of the economy have been affected with significant inflationary pressures having long term impacts. |
Whilst the company continues to monitor and control key cost inputs it should be noted that all margins are affected by these wider inflationary pressures. The company continues to look for new commercial opportunities but the evaluation, procurement and cost management of new asset additions will be vital to sustain long-term profitability. More than ever the company continually monitors its existing commitments and potential opportunities to ensure it does not over commit itself. |

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of the leasing of assets and purchase and sale of equipment. |

DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 March 2022 to the date of this report. |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The company's principal financial instruments comprise of bank balances, trade debtors, trade creditors and group inter company loans. The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds for the company's operations and to finance the company's operations. |
Due to the nature of the financial instruments used by the company there is no exposure to price risk. The company's approach to managing other risks applicable to the financial instruments concerned is shown below. |
Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits. |
Trade creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due. |
Financial support from parent and other subsidiary undertakings is provided and available to support financing the company's operations. Finance leases on assets to a group undertaking has a fixed interest rate implicit in the lease. |
DIRECTORS' LIABILITY INSURANCE |
A liability insurance policy was in force during the financial year for the benefit of the directors of the company. |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
The company continues to have a strong secured pipeline of work. Major UK Government infrastructure projects are sustaining the strong demand for large scale construction plant and equipment. Early contractor involvement and long-standing partnering arrangements, developed over many years, provides the directors with good visibility on future opportunities. The directors are confident that this pipeline of opportunities, coupled with the reputation and the company's financial standing, ensure G Walters (Leasing) Limited is well placed to achieve ongoing financial and operational success. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |

Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 28 February 2023 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Xeinadin Audit 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 |
G. Walters (Leasing) Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of G. Walters (Leasing) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 28 February 2023 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 28 February 2023 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page 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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
G. Walters (Leasing) Limited |
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: |
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations we have considered the following: |
- | The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance; |
- | Results of the enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of |
irregularities; |
- | Any matters we have identified having obtained and reviewed the company's documentation of their |
policies and procedures relating to: |
-- | identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any |
instances of noncompliance; |
-- | detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected |
or alleged fraud; |
-- | the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
-- | the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in |
the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. |
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: timing of recognition of income.. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. |
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included UK Companies Act, health and safety and tax legislation. |
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. |
Audit response to risks identified |
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: |
- | reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance |
with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements; |
- | enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; |
- | performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of |
material misstatement due to fraud; |
- | reviewing correspondence with HMRC; and |
- | in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal |
entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are |
indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are |
unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members including internal specialists, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. |
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. |
As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK). |
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. |

Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 28 February 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
G. Walters (Leasing) Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The directors have carefully considered the impact of Covid-19 on the company's financial position, liquidity and future performance. As set out in the strategic report, the company has continued to trade strongly throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and the directors believe that it is experiencing good levels of sales and profitability. Therefore, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. Accordingly, they have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
The company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepared publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. |
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": |
• | the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; |
• | the requirement of paragraph 3.17(d); |
• | the requirements of paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c); |
• | the requirements of paragraphs 12.26, 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A; |
• | the requirements of paragraphs 26.18(b), 26.19 to 26.21 and 26.23; |
• | the requirement of paragraph 33.7. |
The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of G Walters (Holdings) Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, Hirwaun House, Hirwaun Industrial Estate, Hirwaun, Aberdare, CF44 9UL. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
Turnover |
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amount receivable for goods supplied or services rendered, net of discounts and rebates allowed by the company and value added tax. |
Rentals applicable to operating leases, where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor, are charged against profit on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
Hire purchase and finance lease income is recognised in the profit and loss account using the sum of digits method, to give a period rate of return on the net cash investment over the period of the agreement. |
Sales of plant equipment is recognised when the company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; the company retains no continuing involvement or control over the goods; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. |

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
for the Year Ended 28 February 2023 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. |
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost less their residual values over their useful lives on the following basis: |
All motor vehicles, plant & equipment are leased out under operating leases and so their cost less residual values are written off over their useful economic life. This leads to depreciation rates of 33.33% for motor vehicles and between 10% and 25% for plant and machinery. |
At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its plant and equipment to determine whether there is any indication that any items of plant and equipment have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the company estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately. |
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised fo the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately. |
Assets leased out under operating leases, that are included in tangible fixed assets, are depreciated over their useful lives. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
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. |
3. | TURNOVER |
The turnover and profit before taxation are derived from the principal ordinary activities of the company, net of VAT. |
4. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS |
There were no staff costs for the year ended 28 February 2023 nor for the year ended 28 February 2022. |
