Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 30 April 2022 |
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2022. |
|
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The loss for the year, after taxation, amounted to £4,286 (2021 - profit of £848,797). |
|
The turnover reduced by 4.4% to £10,333,850 due to challenging market conditions. The gross profit margin, after accounting for the recovery of management charges from a group company, reduced to 17% (2021 - 21%). |
|
The directors and senior management continue to focus on our well proven mainstream works and we continue to seek out and win targeted tender opportunities going forward. |
|
With the main effects of Covid-19 hopefully behind us, we currently have a balanced workload and order book with ongoing opportunities although we are conscious of cost inflation within the sector that may be reflected in future trading results. |
|
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Financial risk management |
|
The company finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits, banking arrangements and hire purchase financing arrangements where necessary to fund capital expenditure. |
|
The management's objectives are, through ongoing profitable trading, to retain sufficient funds to enable it to meet its day to day obligations as they fall due and match the repayment schedule of any external finance with the future cash flows expected to arise from trading activities and non trade debt repayments. |
|
The company's credit risk is attributable to its trade debtors and other debtors arising from financing of non trade activities to related parties. In order to manage risk the directors set limits for trade customers based on a combination of payment history and third party references. Non trade other debtors can be monitored closely due to the directors involvement in such projects. |
|
FUTURE OUTLOOK |
As in the wider industry the demolition market continues to be challenging and unpredictable. However the directors are optimistic about future prospects for the industry and believe that the company is well placed to take advantage of any improvement in market conditions. The company is continually maintaining links with its valued existing client base and is looking to maintain current turnover levels in its core business market of demolition, asbestos removal and recycling. |

DIRECTORS |

|
|
|
|
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 |
Central Demolition Limited |
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Central Demolition Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 April 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 April 2022 and of its loss 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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Central Demolition 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. |
|
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
|
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 mis-statements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. |
|
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by for example forgery or intentional misrepresentations or collusion. |
|
We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a a material misstatement with the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. |
|
Our work included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation accompanied by enquiries with management about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud - and additionally - reviewing correspondence with regulators; challenging assumptions and judgements of management in relation to accounting estimates. |
We also addressed the risk of management over-ride of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and payroll manipulation and segregation of duties. |
|
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedure described above and the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the auditor is to become aware of it. |
|
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. |

Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£). |
|
Significant judgements and estimates |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives and residual values are assessed annually. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, asset life cycle, wear and tear and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessment consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. |
|
Going concern forecasts |
The directors have used significant judgement in preparing forecasts for the period of 12 months following the signing of the financial statements. These forecasts have been used by the directors in making their assessment of going concern. |
|
Turnover |
Turnover represents net invoiced sales and work completed on long term contracts, excluding value added tax. |
|
Turnover on demolition contracts is recognised according to the stage reached in the contract by reference to work completed. Turnover from sales of scrap and other materials is recognised when ownership of goods has passed to the buyer on dispatch of the goods. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
Financial instruments |
The company has elected to apply the provisions of section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
|
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
|
Basic financial assets |
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and bank balances are initially measured at transaction price and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
|
Other financial assets |
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment. |
|
Impairment of financial assets |
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
|
Derecognition of financial assets |
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. |
|
Classification of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
|
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
|
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
|
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
|
Derecognition of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. |

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. |
|
Long term contracts |
The contracts undertaken by the company are deemed to be of a long term nature. Long term contract work in progress shown at net cost after deducting foreseeable losses and payments on account. Turnover on long term contracts is determined on the basis of certified valuations representing measured work on contracts. Operating profit includes attributable profit on long term contracts complete and amounts recoverable on contracts incomplete, the latter also being included under debtors due within one year. |
|
|
Going concern |
In light of recent events surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, in common with most businesses it is difficult to predict what impact this may have on the economy as a whole and the company's business in particular. |
|
Having considered these events, the directors are satisfied as to the company's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. In coming to this conclusion, the directors have reviewed both the company's current financial position and the projected profit and cash flow forecasts for a period in excess of one year from the date of approval. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. |
