STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the year ended 31 December 2020 |
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2020. |
|
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
2020 has been a successful and profitable year for the Company, with sales increasing by 11%. |
|
Legislation continues to be of some risk to the Company, in particular the Nutrition and Health Claims Regulations. |
|
The company's Compliance & Regulatory Support Team continues to work with business owners on what is compliant and what they can say in adverts and social media posts. |
|
Forever has a strong sustainability policy and has reduced waste by 50% and increased recycling from 26% to 61% since 2006. |
|
One of the Company's key measurements of effectiveness of its operations is calculating gross profit margin. The Company's gross profit margin for the year is slightly down on previous years at 71% (2019 - 72%). The company has recorded an operating profit of £1,412,276 in the current year compared to an operating loss of £218,237 in 2019. |
|
The balance sheet on page 10 shows that the company's net assets at the year-end have increased. |
|
The Company's cash levels have increased by £1,988,169 from £5,747,351 at the end of 2019 to £7,735,520 at the end of the current financial year. |
|
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The Company's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk and cash flow risk. |
|
Cash flow risk |
|
The company purchases all its products from the from Forever Direct, a related party of the Company and therefore is exposed to movement in the Euro to Pound Sterling exchange rate. The company minimises the risk of exchange rate fluctuations by operating a currency bank account. The company monitors the Euro exchange rate and purchases when the rate is favourable. |
|
Credit risk |
|
The Company's principal financial assets are cash and trade and other receivables. |
|
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. |
|
The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of customers. |
|
Liquidity risk |
|
In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the Company maintains sufficient cash reserves at all times. |
|
Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the note 1 of the financial statements on page 15. |
|
Price risk |
|
The price of products may increase due to changes in exchange rates and/or production costs but is mitigated by being part of a Group purchasing arrangement whereby all of our prices are set by America and costs are also set by a worldwide pricing structure and thus exposure is reduced. |

|
STRATEGIC REPORT |
for the year ended 31 December 2020 |
|
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
The Directors expect the general level of activity to remain consistent with 2020 in the forthcoming year. This is as a result of continuing work on encouraging recruitment by business owners and some new products launched. |
|
GOING CONCERN |
The company's business activities together with the factors likely to affect its future development are set out above. The principal risks and uncertainties of the company are set out above. The directors have considered the financial and cash flow forecasts for a period more than 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements and concluded that income and future cash flows will continue to be derived from the company's principal activity and that the company has sufficient financial resources available for the foreseeable future. As a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks and meet its liabilities as they fall due despite the current uncertain economic outlook. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements. |

|
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2020 to the date of this 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; |
- | 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. |
|
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Luckmans Duckett Parker Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
FOREVER LIVING PRODUCTS (U.K.) LIMITED |
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Forever Living Products (U.K.) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2020 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 31 December 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 |
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 |
FOREVER LIVING PRODUCTS (U.K.) 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. |
|
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
FOREVER LIVING PRODUCTS (U.K.) 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. |
|
In identifying and assessing the risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
- reference to past history and experience of the Entity, |
- enquiring of management, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the Entity's procedures relating to: |
- identifying and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; |
- detection and response to risk of fraud and whether they were aware of any actual or suspected instances of fraud. |
- assessment of the controls and processes that the Entity has in place to mitigate risk in these areas |
|
Our assessments included the identification of the following potential areas for fraud: |
- Management override of control; |
- Revenue recognition, particularly in respect of completeness and cut-off |
|
We design audit procedures by tailored and directed testing to aid and support the level of determined level of risk. In response to the assessed risk we plan audit tests and procedures that target specific areas where misstatement may occur. These procedures and the extent to which they are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below: |
- We critically assessed the appropriateness and tested the application of the revenue and cost recognition policies |
- We tested the appropriateness of accounting journals and other adjustments made in the preparation of the financial statements |
- We reviewed the Entity's accounting policies for non-compliance with relevant standards. |
- We made enquiries of management and reviewed correspondence with the relevant authorities identify any irregularities or instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations |
|
In performing an audit in accordance with UK GAAP, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit process. |
|
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion or override of internal controls. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed. |
|
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 |
|
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
|
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. |
|
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet 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. |
|
Provisions for liabilities |
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. |
|
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. |
