STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2015 |
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2015. |
|
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
We aim to present a balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of our business during |
the year and its position at the year end. Our review is consistent with the size and non-complex nature of our business |
and is written in the context of the risks and uncertainties we face. |
|
The company continues to operate as an express coach operator along with providing private hire for the general public. |
|
We consider that our key financial performance indicators are those that communicate the financial performance and |
strength of the company as a whole, these being turnover and operating profit. |
|
|
2015 | 2014 |
£ | £ |
Turnover | 27,393,620 | 26,972,877 |
|
Turnover has increased by over 1.56%. |
|
Operating profit has increased from £3,011,608 to £3,277,008. Profit before tax has increased from £2,742,538 to |
£2,987,199. After taxation and dividends £1,077,953 has been added to reserves. |
|
As for many businesses of our size, the business environment in which we operate continues to be challenging. We are |
subject to consumer spending patterns and consumers' overall level of disposable income within our economy. |
|
With these risks and uncertainties in mind, we are aware that any plans for the future development of the business may |
be subject to unforeseen events outside of our control. |

EMPLOYEES |
Every effort is made to keep staff informed of and involved in the operations and progress of the company. |
|
The company is committed to providing a safe and pleasant environment for its employees and training and career |
development opportunities are available. No discrimination is made on the grounds of age, colour, disability, marital |
status, race, religion or sex. Employees are given the opportunity to develop and progress according to their ability. |
Disabled people are given fair consideration for all job vacancies for which they offer themselves as suitable applicants, |

|
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing 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. |

|
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2015 |
|
|
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, Thomas Barrie & Co LLP, 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 |
PARK'S OF HAMILTON (COACH HIRERS) LTD |
|
We have audited the financial statements of Park's of Hamilton (Coach Hirers) Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2015 |
on pages six to sixteen. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law |
and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
|
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. |
|
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors |
|
|
Scope of the audit of the financial statements |
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give |
reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. |
This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances and |
have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by |
the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and |
non-financial information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors to identify material inconsistencies |
with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or |
materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of |
any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. |
|
|
Opinion on financial statements |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- |
give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2015 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. |
|
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion 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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
PARK'S OF HAMILTON (COACH HIRERS) LTD |
|
|
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
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. |
