STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 September 2022. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The results for the year and the financial position of the company at 30 September 2022 are as shown in the annexed financial statements. |
This review is considered to be balanced and comprehensive, having regard to the size of the company. The review also considers any risks or uncertainties faced by the company. |
The directors are very happy with the year-end results and are sure that continued focus on the needs of the customer and offering a varied range of products will facilitate further growth. |
As ever, the key financial indicators are turnover and gross profit, both of which have shown continued growth this year. |
Turnover has increased by 7% this year driven mainly by the performance of the retail store network as the trading period was not impacted by any Covid restrictions. New stores in Harlow and Birmingham were opened in the year bringing the total number of stores to 7. Management has plans to further increase the number of stores in the coming years. |
Ongoing focus on buying habits and higher margin items have improved gross margins. Per management account information, whereby Cost of Sales includes only purchases, the gross profit margin has increased from 33.33% to 33.65%, a 1% improvement. The statutory accounts include carriage costs, transaction charges and sales commissions in Cost of Sales and by this measure, gross profit has increased from 24.48% to 25.82% which is an improvement of nearly 5.5%. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The company is affected by a number of factors, the principal ones of which are: |
- Exposure to the risk of negative developments in the financial markets and the sectors in which it operates, either directly or through the impact on the company's bankers, suppliers, or customers. These developments can result in recession, inflation, deflation, restrictions in the availability of credit, impact on demand from customers, problems in the supplier base, increase in financing costs or in the cost of utilities and finished products. Such developments might increase operating costs, reduce revenues, lower asset values, or result in the business being unable to meet in full its strategic objectives. |
- Competition arising from an ever-increasing demand for online retailing and increased internet activities. The company already utilises internet trading through its own website and through well-known auction sites. The nature of the company's products does mean that many customers will still visit the retail outlet to try before they buy, and management are continually monitoring the position of all areas of the company to ensure they remain profitable as failure to compete effectively in terms of price, product satisfaction or levels of customer service can have an adverse effect on demand and/or margins |
- Exposure to exchange rates will also play a part as the company expands and furthers its own brand strategy due to the manufacturing of most of its range taking place outside of the UK. Conversion, however, will generally take place at the point of purchase, or just before, and will ultimately affect the retail price, bringing it in line with the market rather than affecting gross margin. |
- Whilst the Brexit trade deal introduced in January 2021 caused a certain level of turmoil, particularly with overseas trade, the management believes it has also contributed to stronger domestic sales in some areas, as it introduced a level of uncertainty for UK customers thinking of buying from overseas. A partnership has also now been forged with a new logistics partner in an effort to help encourage overseas sales. |
The company mitigates risk in several ways: |
- The group has in place an organisational structure with clearly defined lines of responsibility and |
delegation of authority. There are established policies and procedure for the setting of corporate strategies; for financial planning and budgeting; for risk management; for information and reporting systems; for systems of operation and financial internal control; and for monitoring operations and performance. |
- Management and staff at all levels work closely with customers and suppliers to operate as effectively and efficiently as possible, whilst maintaining long working relations, innovations and good lines of communications. |
- The company operates a recruitment, training and selection process to ensure employees are experienced and competent in their work. The workforce is trained to be alert, responsive to customer needs and requirements and to operate in line with the company's corporate objectives. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 |
SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT |
Our duties |
The board of directors, along with the senior management team, recognise that the long term interests of the business are key and supersede any short term plans. This ethos is regularly communicated with and shared by our shareholders. Ultimately, success through sustainable growth is what shapes our business plan, always taking into consideration the same key areas, most of which have been addressed independently below: |
Our people |
The focus always has, and will continue to be, customer first. By customer first we not only refer to retail customers, but also the Sportsbikeshop team. The company is fully committed to our members and has a truly 'open door' policy at all levels to ensure a far less hierarchical structure than one might commonly expect. Whilst we now navigate the inevitable complexities of a larger SME, in many areas we strive to retain some of the traits of a much smaller company. We feel this helps us to remain far more 'familial' as a team. |
Business relationships |
Whilst we continue to add additional brands and products to our assortment, the vast majority of our growth is through increasing spend with the same core set of suppliers, most of which we have been dealing with in excess of 10 years. We deal with most at board level, as well as buyer level, and work on what we'd describe as a '50/50 relationship'. Ultimately, this ensures we keep in mind that we need our suppliers as much as they need us. |
Community and the environment |
We strive to engage with both the motorcycle industry and local communities as much as possible. Feedback from both gives us vital information to help us shape our outlook and offering. In recent years, we have also challenged ourselves to take a far more ethical and sustainable approach in terms of both sourcing of product, and the packaging of orders. |
Reputation |
Maintaining our reputation is considered in everything we do; business ethics, our team, and our customer base. Just as we continue to focus on our customer value proposition, we also continue to work on our reputation within the motorcycle trade and as a business in general. |
SPORTSBIKESHOP LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05401500) |
STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
Online growth will be achieved through further work on improving customer experience and increasing focus on both the product range and the stock plan. There will also be the addition of new stores as well as growth from the existing network as it matures. |
Most important of all, the company will continue to take a truly omnichannel approach, with stores |
essentially operating as an extension of the online experience. The management team are as optimistic as ever as they look forward to the continuation of their plan. |

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
Information regarding company performance, key performance indicators, risks facing the company and future developments is disclosed in the strategic report. |
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; |
- | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
- | 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. |
SPORTSBIKESHOP LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05401500) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 |
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, Dexter & Sharpe Audit Services Ltd, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
SPORTSBIKESHOP LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Sportsbikeshop Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 September 2022 which comprise the Income Statement, Other 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 30 September 2022 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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
SPORTSBIKESHOP LIMITED |
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 six, 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 |
SPORTSBIKESHOP 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: |
We have enquired of those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims. |
We have reviewed financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. |
Enquired of staff engaged in the completion of VAT, tax and compliance work to identify any instances of non compliance with laws and regulations. |
Audited the risk of management override of controls including review of journal entries and large or unusual transaction, evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions outside the course of business. |
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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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. |
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 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. |
