Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2019 |
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2019. |
|
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The company is a holding company and landlord of one of its subsidiaries and also rents out commercial property. The |
principal activity of its subsidiary undertakings continues to be that of manufacturers of components and conveyor |
modules within the materials handling industry. |
|
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The company is controlled and run by its Board of Directors and the process of risk management in all areas of the |
business is addressed through policies and procedures agreed at Board level. |
|
The company has accepted the Euro for payment since the launch of the currency and the Board consider that internal |
policies along with the stability of the currency within an acceptable trading range means that the financial risk is being |
effectively controlled. |
|
The company insures all debt and is a registered credit reference agency. The balance sheet is protected adequately via a |
commercial insurance policy which is reviewed annually and which includes cover of gross profit should there be any |
interruption to the business activity caused by an insured event. |
|
Cash reserves are considered by the Directors to be sufficiently high to cover the current trading commitments and also |
to develop the business further, in line with the business strategy. |
|
Price risk is controlled by the marketing policy which requires representation at relevant trade exhibitions to monitor the |
company and its subsidiaries' position in the market place. |
|
RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE |
The results of the company are set out on page 6 and 7 and show profit on ordinary activities before tax for the year of |
£2,871,657 (2018 - £797,697. The shareholders' funds of the company at the year end amount to £1,077,369 (2018 - |
£2,261,705). |
|
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
The Board does not measure the performance of the company by reference to KPI's. |
|
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
During the year the group underwent a structural reorganisation. A new holding company (Galton Bridge Enterprises |
Limited) acquired all the share capital of New Conveyor Limited and became the company's new ultimate parent |
company. The assets of New Conveyor Limited are to remain within the company. |

|
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. |

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |

|
|
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
New Conveyor Limited |
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of New Conveyor Limited (the 'company') for the year ended |
31 December 2019 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in |
Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a |
summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation |
is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The |
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted |
Accounting Practice). |
|
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- |
give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2019 and of its profit for the year
then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
|
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. |
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the |
financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical |
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, |
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit |
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
|
Conclusions relating to going concern |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to |
you where: |
- |
the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not
appropriate; or |
- |
the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast
significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
|
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic |
Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors |
thereon. |
|
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise |
explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
|
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing |
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge |
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or |
apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial |
statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude |
that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to |
report in this regard. |
|
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- |
the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the
financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- |
the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal
requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
New Conveyor Limited |
|
|
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. |
|
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from |
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. |
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs |
(UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are |
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic |
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
|
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting |
Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
|
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the |
Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those |
matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent |
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's |
members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2019 |
|
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
|
New Conveyor Limited is a
|
company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. |
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
General information and basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to |
the nearest £. The accounts are prepared on the going concern basis. |
|
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about New Conveyor 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, |
Galton Bridge Enterprises Limited, Sandy Lane, Titton, Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, DY13 9QA.. |
|
Tangible fixed assets |
|
Freehold property | - |
|
Plant and machinery | - |
|
|
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost less any provision for impairment. |
|
Investment property |
Investment properties are shown at their fair value, which is ascertained by the directors with confirmation from |
a registered surveyor as to their current market values. |
|
In respect of the Castle property, which is undergoing major renovation works, valuations based upon initial cost |
plus costs of renovation are confirmed by a registered surveyor to its present condition. |
|
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. |

There is no corporation tax charge in the accounts this year. This is due to group loss relief being available to the |
company and this has been used to fully relieve the company's taxable profits for the year. |

Although the depreciation policy on leasehold property is 2% on cost, no depreciation had been charged for the |
year as the directors consider that due to the property having a higher estimated residual value, depreciation |
would be negligible. |
