STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 |
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 August 2020. |
|
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The company manufactures bespoke containers and modules to house specific equipment, to offer protection from the environment, or to offer protection from fire and blast for the petrochemical, oil, rail and power industries on a global basis. All bespoke equipment is manufactured from the company's UK manufacturing facility. |
|
Revenue has increased by £1,969,741 in the year ended 31 August 2020 to £20,457,189. Gross profit has increased by £938,355, 1.37% to 34.83%. As a result the company has made a profit before taxation of £1,986,085, an increase of £605,144 on 2019. |
|
The year has had a mix of work from Data Centres, Rail and number of Offshore Oil Projects which were committed prior to the start of the financial year. Going forward, the Offshore Oil Market looks far more challenging but Onshore Petrochem Projects are still quite buoyant. We see that the big movers this year will be Data Centre work and Store units. We continue to review cost saving and efficiencies to further increase the gross margins. |
|
The above result has seen net assets increase by £700,970 to £4,441,802. |
|
DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
|
The business is geared to a highly bespoke and niche market place product, which requires a high level of certification and documentation. The high level of specification requires continuous training for personnel updating procedures and certifications that is required by our client base. We continue to invest in maintaining our edge within the market place in personnel, equipment and software where appropriate, the aim is always to maintain growth and profitability in all of our market sectors. |
|
Whilst Brexit and COVID-19 has impacted the local economy the board considers that the company will not be directly affected. The company will continue to respond to any changes following the Brexit deadline and through the ongoing COVID-19 issues. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 |
|
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The company is continually at the mercy of the global market place and to this end there are areas that we are unable to control if capital investment has been withheld. However, areas that we continue to trade in are relatively buoyant and maintain a high level of activity in several sectors. |
|
There is a constant requirement to meet ever more challenging equipment specifications, but the directors consider that the company is well placed to meet these new challenges. |
|
The company continues to quote in Sterling and to date has not suffered significant currency fluctuations. However, we have the ability to buy forward and protect our prices if other currencies are requested. |

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. |

|
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 |
|
|
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 |
BRADGATE CONTAINERS LIMITED |
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Bradgate Containers Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 August 2020 which comprise the Income Statement, Other 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 August 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 |
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 |
BRADGATE CONTAINERS 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 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. |
|
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. |

|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
Significant accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty |
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
|
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
|
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below. |
|
(i) Amounts recoverable on contracts |
The level of revenue included for any particular contract in progress at the year end is based on an estimated percentage complete, as determined by the directors. |
|
Revenue |
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
|
Revenue is generally recognised on short term contracts as contract activity progresses so that for incomplete contracts it reflects the partial performance of the contractual obligations. For such contracts the amount of revenue reflects the accrual of the right to consideration by reference to the value of work performed. Revenue not invoiced is included in amounts recoverable on contracts and payments on account in excess of the relevant amount of revenue are included in creditors. |
|
Amounts recoverable on longer term contracts, which are included in debtors, are stated at the net sales value of the work done after provision for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. Excess progress payments are included in creditors as payments on account. |
|
Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
|
Land and buildings - freehold | Straight line over fifty years |
Land and buildings - leasehold | Straight line over fifty years |
Plant and machinery | 15% reducing balance basis & 25% straight line |
Fixtures, fittings and equipment | 15% reducing balance basis, 25% straight line & 50% straight line |
Motor vehicles | 25% reducing balance basis & 25% straight line |
|
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost less impairment. |
|
Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to complete and sell. Inventories are accounted for on a first-in-first-out basis. |

|
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 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. |
|
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
|
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. |
|
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In common with many other businesses, the company's trade and operations have been impacted adversely by the coronavirus outbreak in March 2020. With government assistance and the prompt implementation of new policies and procedures to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19, the adverse impact of COVID-19 was short-lived and the company's trade and operations have since returned to normal levels. |
|
The impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain and continues to develop on a daily basis. The directors are monitoring the exposure to the company's business, including its employees, and are referring to the government and professional advice being published so that action can be considered to mitigate the risk where possible. Therefore, the directors believe that the going concern basis is appropriate. |

|
Financial instruments |
The company has chosen to adopt the Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
|
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, 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. |
|
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. 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. |
|
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans and loans from fellow group companies 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
|
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
|
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. 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. |

The company applied the transitional arrangements of section 35 of FRS102 and used a previous valuation as the deemed cost for the freehold property. The property is depreciated from the valuation date. As the property is depreciated or sold, an appropriate transfer is made from the non-distributable reserve to retained earnings. Analysis of land and buildings valued at the date of transition to FRS102 using the deemed cost exemption is detailed below. |
