Strategic report | ||
Principal activities | ||
The principal activity of the company during the year under review was the sale, installation and service of electronic displays, scoreboards, and timing systems. There have not been any significant changes in the company's principal activities in the year under review. | ||
Business review | ||
As shown in the company's income statement on page 10, the company's sales have increased by 51% from the prior year. This reflects the project oriented nature of the company and the ongoing recovery from the impact of COVID 19 on many of the company's customers businesses and their investment strategies. The statement of financial position on page 11 of the financial statements shows that the company's financial position has improved in terms of ending the year with net assets of £1,210,632 compared with net assets of £1,059,149 in the prior year. The performance of the International division of Daktronics Inc., which includes the company, is discussed in the group's Annual Report which are publicly available. |
||
Section 172(1) statement | ||
The directors consider both individually and collectively, that they have acted in a way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its employees, customers, suppliers and members. The paragraphs below set out how the directors fulfil their duty under the Section 172 requirements. | ||
Consequences of any decision in the long term | ||
The company maintains a rolling two year business plan setting out the financial and capital implications of strategic and other business decisions such as sales strategies, company resources and product development. The plan is developed through input from sales, finance, and operations. The plan is updated and reviewed quarterly. | ||
Interests of the company's employees | ||
The health, safety and well-being of our employees is our primary consideration in the way that we operate. We aim to be a responsible employer in our approach to pay and benefits. Awards are made for long service and a life assurance scheme is provided for all employees. | ||
Interest of the company's suppliers, customers and others | ||
The company understands that each of our customers has unique needs and this principal is at the heart of our customer service and product offerings. The company builds long-standing relationships with its suppliers and advisors and ensures all conditions of supply are adhered to including paying for goods and services within the agreed terms. |
||
Impact on company's operations on the community and environment | ||
The company endeavours to observe all laws and regulations relating to the environment and our displays are designed to be the most energy efficient in the industry. The Daktronics manufacturing facilities and products comply with industry specific requirements, including environmental rules and regulations and safety standards. These requirements include quality, manufacturing process controls, manufacturing documentation, supplier certification of raw materials, and various safety tests. Daktronics offers support for local community groups through donations. |
||
Maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct | ||
As a board of directors our intention is to behave with the correct conduct to comply with the regulatory obligations and ensure that management operates the business in a responsible manner. As a subsidiary of a US listed company we comply with the internal controls requirements set out under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, we and our operations are subject to anti-corruption regulations such as the United Kingdom Bribery Act and United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. | ||
The need to act fairly between members of the company | ||
The issued share capital of the company was entirely owned by the immediate and ultimate parent company during the reporting period so the risk of acting unfairly does not arise. | ||
Key performance indicators | ||
The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Daktronics Inc. and operates as part of the group's International division. For this reason, the company's directors believe that further key performance indicators for the company are not necessary for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the business. The performance of the international division of Daktronics Inc., which includes the company, is discussed in the group's Annual report and is provided below: "As most restrictions on gathering are reduced across geographies, more customers are choosing to invest in their digital needs. Over the long-term, we believe growth in the International business unit will result from a number of factors, including: o Achieving greater penetration in various geographies and building products more suited to individual markets. We continue to broaden our product offerings into the transportation segment in Europe and the Middle East. o Continued focus on sports facility, spectacular-type, OOH advertising products, and architectural lighting market opportunities and the factors listed in each of the other business units to the extent they apply outside of the United States and Canada. o Increasing interest in spectaculars, which include very large and sometimes highly customized displays as part of entertainment venues such as casinos, shopping centres, cruise ships and city-centre locations. o New market adoption and expansion of use of LED in government and military and corporate campuses. o Additional opportunities exist with expanded market usage of LED technology due to price considerations, usage of LED technology replacing prior LCD installations and additional display offerings using micro-LEDs. o Development and marketing alternative low-power and sustainable solutions for installations in power constrained areas or for customers desiring these types of products. o Our product and service offerings, including additional micro-LED offerings, which remain the most integrated and comprehensive offerings in the industry. o Growing our reseller channels to promote our products and gain market share. o Our product and service offerings, including additional micro-LED offerings which remain the most integrated and comprehensive offerings in the industry. o Growing our reseller channels to promote our products and gain market share." |
||
Principle risks and uncertainties | ||
These are described in the directors' report. | ||
Future Developments | ||
Daktronics endured a dynamic operating environment through the pandemic years. At the beginning of the pandemic, orders pulled back swiftly and abruptly, and we lowered capacity. Then order volumes recovered sharply while supply chain disruptions coupled with a tight labour market constrained our ability to deliver efficiently at traditional lead times and service levels. Inflation in parts, components, and labour increased our operating costs and decreased gross margins. To adapt to these conditions, our teams came together to take decisive and deliberate actions to improve our customers' experience while implementing strategies to improve our profitability and working capital levels. Supply chains have gradually been stabilizing, which should allow reduced inventory levels in the coming months as our production levels continue to increase and we are able to purchase less safety stock. Although the post-pandemic geopolitical situation and global trade patterns continue to evolve, we believe that the levels of uncertainty and volatility will not be as great in the coming months and will continue to stabilize in the coming fiscal year. |
||
We believe the audiovisual industry fundamentals and the development of new technologies and services will drive long-term growth for our business; however, our customers may reduce their spend on audiovisual systems and related services because of the impacts of global economic conditions, war and geopolitical situations, or other factors outside of our control | ||

The directors present their report and financial statements for the year ended |

Statement of going concern |
The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Daktronics Inc. Daktronics Inc. has confirmed via a letter of support that it will continue to provide financial and operational support to the company for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements. |
Daktronics Inc. has produced forecasts that have been sensitised to reflect plausible scenarios in orders and revenue in the evolving post pandemic and global economic environments, which have been reviewed by the directors. The FY23 Daktronics Inc Financial Statements have the Going Concern and class actions references removed, and in the Other Liquidity and Capital Resources Discussion disclose details of the company's improved financing facilities. These demonstrate the ability of Daktronics. Inc to generate profits and cash for the year ended 30 April 2023 and beyond, and that Daktronics Inc. has sufficient cash reserves to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. |
|||||||
In addition to this commitment from Daktronics Inc., the company had cash in hand of £506k at the end of August 2023, and as such the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Having considered these factors, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. |
|||||||
Future developments | |||||||

Directors | |||||||
The directors who served at any time during the year and up to the date of signing were as follows: | |||||||
Directors' responsibilities |
The directors' are responsible for preparing the annual report 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), including FRS102 (The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland). 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; and | ||||||
● | 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. |
Financial risk management objectives and policies | |||||||
Price risk The company is not exposed significantly to commodity price risk as a result of its operations. The company has no exposure to equity securities price risk as it holds no listed or other equity investments. Credit risk The company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter parties are banks with high credit rating assigned by international credit agencies. Liquidity risk The company has sufficient available funds and the support of its parent undertaking to maintain its current operations. |
|||||||
Dividends | |||||||
The directors do not recommend a dividend during this period ( |

Independent auditor's report | ||
to the members of Daktronics UK Limited | ||
Report on the audit of the financial statements | ||
We have audited the financial statements of Daktronics UK Ltd for the year ended 30 April 2023 which comprise: | ||
● | the income statement; | |
● | the statement of financial position; | |
● | the statement of changes in equity; and | |
● | the related notes 1 to 21, including 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). | ||
Opinion |
In our opinion the financial statements of Daktronics UK Limited (the 'company'): | ||
● | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 April 2023 and of its profit for the year then ended; | |
● | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"; and | |
● | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis of 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 auditor's 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 Financial Reporting Council’s (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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. | ||
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 course of 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 respect of these matters. | ||
Responsibilities of directors | ||
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. | ||
Auditor’s 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 an auditor’s report 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 auditor’s report. | ||
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud | ||
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 misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. | ||
We considered the nature of the company’s industry and its control environment, and reviewed the company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities. | ||
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in, and identified the key laws and regulations that: | ||
● | had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; and | |
● | do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. | |
We discussed among the audit engagement team regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements. | ||
As a result of performing the above, we identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following area, and our specific procedures performed to address it are described below: | ||
● | Revenue recognition judgements around determining stage of completion which can impact the period in which the revenue is recognised. | |
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. | ||
In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following: | ||
● | reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements; | |
● | performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; | |
● | enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims, and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and | |
● | reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. | |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities including those that lead to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. | ||
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements | ||
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 | ||
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of audit: | ||
● | the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and | |
● | the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. | |
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report. | ||
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report in respect of the following matters 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. |
We have nothing to report in respect of these matters. | ||
Use of our report | ||
This report is made solely to the company’s members, 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 an auditor’s report 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, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. | ||

Notes to the financial statements | ||||||||
for the year ended 30 April 2023 | ||||||||
1 | Summary of significant accounting policies | |||||||
General information and basis of preparation | ||||||||
The company meets the definition of a qualifying entity under FRS 102 and has therefore taken advantage of the disclosure exemptions available to it in respect of its separate financial statements. The company is consolidated in the financial statements of its parent, Daktronics Inc., which may be obtained at 331, 32nd Avenue, PO Box 5128, Brookings, South Dakota, 57006-51 USA. Exemptions have been taken in these separate company financial statements in relation to share-based payments, financial instruments, presentation of a cash flow statement, presentation of a reconciliation of the number of shares outstanding at the beginning and at the end of the period, and remuneration of key management personnel. |
||||||||
Revenue recognition | ||||||||
Interest receivable | ||||||||
Interest income is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition. | ||||||||
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Daktronics Inc. Daktronics Inc. has confirmed via a letter of support that it will continue to provide financial and operational support to the company for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements. |
Daktronics Inc. has produced forecasts that have been sensitised to reflect plausible scenarios in orders and revenue in the evolving post pandemic and global economic environments, which have been reviewed by the directors. The FY23 Daktronics Inc Financial Statements have the Going Concern and class actions references removed, and in the Other Liquidity and Capital Resources Discussion disclose details of the company's improved financing facilities. These demonstrate the ability of Daktronics. Inc to generate profits and cash for the year ended 30 April 2023 and beyond, and that Daktronics Inc. has sufficient cash reserves to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. |
Summary of significant accounting policies: Going concern (continued) |
In addition to this commitment from Daktronics Inc., the company had cash in hand of £506k at the end of August 2023, and as such the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Having considered these factors, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. |
||||||||
Stocks | ||||||||
Taxation | ||||||||
Provisions | ||||||||
Provisions are charged as an expense to the income statement in the year that the company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the statement of financial position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the statement of financial position. |

2 | Critical accounting estimates and judgements | |||||||
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. Critical judgements in applying the company's accounting policies: The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (which are dealt with separately below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Revenue recognition:The directors recognise the revenue by reference to the stage of completion of the project. The stage of completion of a project is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated project costs. Key source of estimation uncertainty: No key sources of estimation uncertainty were identified. |
