Strategic Report |
For The Year Ended 31 December 2020 |
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2020. |
|
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The company recorded a sales turnover of £22,306,648 for the year to 31st December 2020 representing a decrease in turnover of 16.6% compared to the previous year. On this turnover the business achieved a PBT of £174,925 for the same period, representing a reduction in PBT of 87% as compared to 2019. After starting the first quarter strong as expected, the rapid spread of the coronavirus and the government imposed restrictions that followed led to a sharp decline in sales orders in the second and third quarters. Specific countermeasures to restructure and reduce the cost base then followed and thanks to the commitment and dedication of our employees we remained fully operational. Whilst the coronavirus had created such a negative impact on the global economy and it was almost impossible to confirm if any decline in sales orders was down to Brexit uncertainty, the fourth quarter recovered stronger than expected with a high order intake reaching far into the New Year. There were no significant bad debts and the company continues to insure against all trade debtors. Liquidity will continue to be funded by on-going operations. |
|
There were no post balance sheet events affecting the company. |
|
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The management feels the company is not unduly at risk from currency exchange rates. However, any major movement of sterling against the euro will affect revenues whether positive or negative. |
|
Credit risk is minimised by insuring against all trading debtors. However, there is an excess to be paid and a small number of current customers are not covered by insurance. The company's liquidity will continue to be funded by on-going operations and secured bank borrowings. |
|
The second wave of coronavirus occurring in the fourth quarter pushed the government to impose greater restrictions and as with many countries facing similar situations, we would expect the coronavirus to continue to have some impact on the company's performance over the next 12 months. |
|
Now that the UK and EU have finally reached agreement on a post-Brexit trade deal it remains clear that as the new trade and logistic rules and processes are implemented there will be some minor influence on the company's performance, certainly in the first quarter of 2021. |
|
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The company has a normal level of exposure to price, credit, liquidity and cash flow risks arising from trading activities, which are conducted mainly in sterling and Euros. |
|
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
The company has continued to invest during 2020 replacing ageing processes with state of the art machinery. Further investment in these areas, to enable access to new and developing global markets, will continue through 2021. |
|
Increasing raw material costs are expected in 2021 and will have a negative effect on margins in our core businesses.Investment to increase capacity during 2021 will be required to meet market needs. |
|
Focus in 2021 will be on further innovation and to increase sales in high and medium voltage export markets, especially developing countries and the USA. An increased investment and global sales focus into advanced composite markets will bring additional revenue through 2021. |

|
|
|
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 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, Lloyd Piggott 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 |
Jones Stroud Insulations Limited |
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Jones Stroud Insulations Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2020 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 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 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 |
Jones Stroud Insulations Limited |
|
|
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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. |
|
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
|
In preparation for our audit we identified areas of laws and regulations which we considered could have a material effect on the financial statements. This information was obtained via discussions with management and from our general commercial and sector experience. The directors also provide us with written representation of all the key and fundamental industry specific laws and regulations with they are required to adhere to. These were then communicated to the whole of the audit team at our audit planning meeting. |
|
As a manufacturing company, non-compliance with health & safety and employment law, tax and other financial regulations were assessed to be most relevant. Our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations in these areas consisted of: |
|
- Enquiries with management; |
- Inspection of regulatory records, submissions, and other correspondence; |
- Challenges to management assumptions and judgements in relation to accounting estimates. |
|
Despite appropriate planning and performing our work in accordance with International Auditing Standards, there are always inherent limitations that non-compliance is not detected. Non-compliance with laws and regulations is often further removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements and material misstatements due to fraud can be deliberately concealed from auditors, for example through misrepresentation, forgery or collusion. |
|
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. |

Notes to the Financial Statements |
For The Year Ended 31 December 2020 |
|
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
|
Jones Stroud Insulations Limited is a
|
|
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
|
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
The company has prepared budgets for the next two years and the directors are happy that, with the planned increase in turnover and the planned investment, that the company is able to meet all running costs in 2021. The directors are satisfied that the company is a going concern. Please see the strategic report for further details. |
|
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
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 33.7. |
|
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Jones Stroud Insulations Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertaking are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, Krempel (UK) Holdings Ltd, . |
|
Significant judgements and estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the director to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results in the future could differ from those estimates. In this regard, the director believes that the critical accounting policies where judgements or estimations are necessarily applied are summarised below: |
|
Goodwill and residual values |
|
The Director has reviewed the asset lives and associated residual values of goodwill, and in particular, the useful economic life and residual value and has concluded that asset lives and residual values are appropriate. |
|
Depreciation and residual values |
|
The Director has reviewed the asset lives and associated residual values of all fixed asset classes, and in particular, the useful economic life and residual values and has concluded that asset lives and residual values are appropriate. |
|
Work in Progress |
|
The key judgements and estimates in determining the value of work in progress are labour rates and machine utilisation rates. |
|
These assessments include a degree of uncertainty and therefore if these judgements change, amendments to work in progress may be necessary. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
Turnover |
Turnover, which is stated net of VAT, is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred by way of delivery. |
|
Goodwill |
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of the business in 2000, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful economic life of 20 years. |
|
Goodwill, being the amount brought into the business in relation the absorption of Krempel Ltd into Jones Stroud Insulations Ltd, is being amortised evenly over it remaining useful economic life of 10 years. |
|
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at the end of the first full financial year following acquisition and in other periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
|
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
|
Tangible fixed assets |
|
Freehold property | - |
|
Plant and machinery | - |
|
Fixtures and fittings | - |
|
Motor vehicles | - |
|
|
Once net book value reaches less than £500 the asset will be written down to nil. |
|
The carrying values of tangible assets are reviewed for impairments in periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recovered. |
|
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. |
|
Payments on account & assets in course of construction, represents the cost incurred on tangible fixed assets under construction which are not ready and available for use at the balance sheet date. These assets are not depreciated. Depreciation only starts once the assets are finished and have been transferred to the appropriate tangible fixed assets category. |
|
Government grants |
Income from government grants is recognised on the basis of the accrual model, and is thereby included on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. |
|
The company has made use of the HMRC Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which was introduced to help with employee costs, due to the Coronavirus pandemic. |
|
Stocks |
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs include all cost incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition as follows: |
|
Raw materials, consumables and goods for resale | - | purchase cost on a first - in, first - out basis |
Work in progress and finished goods | - |
cost of direct materials and labour plus attributable
overheads based on a normal level of activity. |
|
Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less any further costs expected to be incurred to completion. |
|
The company policy for obsolete stock is to review and provide where necessary for any finished goods stock where the product line has not moved within the last twelve months. |

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. |
|
Research and development |
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
|
|
Foreign currencies |
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the previous month end. |
|
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. |
|
All differences are taken to the profit and loss account. |
|
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
|
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
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. |
|
Investments |
Investments are recorded at cost and reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. |
|

|
(a) Trade receivables and trade payables |
|
Trade receivables do not carry interest and are stated at their initial fair value reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. |
|
Trade payables on normal terms are not interest bearing and are stated at their nominal value. |
|
(b) Cash and cash equivalents |
|
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, net of bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included within financial liabilities in current liabilities in the balance sheet. |
|
(c) Bank and other borrowings |
