STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
- 1 -

The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Principal activities

The principal activity of the company continued to be that of the design, development and manufacture of specialised medical devices to market worldwide.

Review of the business and key performance indicators

The company's key financial indicators for the year were as follows:

Turnover has remained relatively stable year on year, with a 3.3% reduction in overall sales levels to £33.305m, from £34.443m in the prior year. This followed signifciant growth of 18% in the prior year and reflects a year of consolidation in overall activity. Inflationary cost pressures driven global economic events such as the war in Ukraine and the cost of living crisis has contributed however to gross profit reducing to £12.995m (2022: £15.110m) which represents a reduction in gross margin from 43.9% in 2022 to 39.3% in 2023. Whilst the company has been able to achieve a reduction in its administrative expenses to £9.491m in 2023 from £11.699m in 2022 to in part mitigate against this reduction in profitability, the reported results for the year have also been impacted by an exceptional cost in the year, being a £2.226m impairment of unrecoverable group receivables. The overall impact was a reduction in profit for the financial year to £1.666m (2022: £3.345m).

 

Future developments

Subsequent to the year end, on 21 April 2023, the company was acquired by ATL Technology UK Holdings Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 14795385, and in doing so became part of the group headed by ATL Technology, LLC a Delaware limited liability company whose registered office is in Springville Utah.

Following acquisition, the company has continued to focus on financial targets and new product developments with both existing customers and new customers as well as ATL group companies. This will secure future success and will continue to carefully assess activities to ensure that the company delivers added value to their customers.                     

A number of technologically innovative projects are currently under development and the research and development teams will continue to focus on progressing the current development plans that should contribute and support the revenue growth in future years.            

The company continues to implement efficiency improvement measures and have identified further improvement measures to ensure that cost improvements are realised.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
- 2 -
Principal risks and uncertainties

The nature of the business environment in which the company operates is inherently risky. Whilst it is not possible to eliminate all such risks and uncertainties, the company has an established risk management and internal control system in place to manage them.

 

The directors and management meet regularly to identify the risks that are considered most likely to have an impact on the business and its strategic priorities. If emerging risks are identified, these are incorporated immediately into the risk management process.

 

The following sets out the principal risks faced by the company and how they are mitigated:

 

Competition

To achieve the company's strategy the company must maintain its competitive advantage by continuing to be innovative in its research and development activities. If the company does not succeed in keeping its products and manufacturing capabilities at the cutting edge of innovation, then it could start to lose market share in its core markets.

 

People

The company depends on a flexible, diverse and well-motivated workforce. If the company fails in attracting, developing and retaining skilled people, as well as understanding and embracing the diversity of those people, it will not be able to grow the business as anticipated. The compnay monitors staff retention, pay and conditions against the prevailing market to ensure that the company remains competitive. Succession planning and staff development are managed at all levels in the company, underpinned by a performance review process which is designed to assist in the career development of its staff and to identify potential successors to key roles.

 

Reputation

The company's ability to win new business and its relationship with customers, supply chain partners, employees and other stakeholders depends in large on the good reputation that it has established and how it is perceived by others. The company's growth targets may not be achieved if its reputation is adversely affected. Steps taken to maintain, protect and enhance the company's reputation include effective leadership, community engagement and striving to operate a safe and sustainable business.

 

Health and safety

The company's activities are often complex and require the continuous monitoring and management of health, safety and environmental risks. Failure to manage these risks could expose the company to a significant potential liability and to reputational damage. Detailed policies and procedures exist to mitigate such risks and are subject to review and monitoring by the business and external specialists. Compliance is monitored in many ways including audit, leadership involvement and inspections.

 

Treasury operations and financial instruments

The company’s operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include credit risks, liquidity risks and exchange rate risk. The company has a formal risk management programme to mitigate the potential adverse effects of such risks may pose, and monitors and takes actions in each of these areas as follows:

Credit risk

The company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made. In addition credit checks will be made annually on customers who are deemed to a significant credit risk to the company.

Liquidity risk

The company has available resources to fund its operations and planned expansion through available and generated funds. For further detail on liquidity risk see the going concern statement in the directors report.

Exchange rate risk

The company monitors exchange rate risk for the company closely given a large percentage of turnover is into Europe and the US. A cash pooling arrangement was in place during the year with Olympus Europa SE & Co. KG to assist in minimising foreign exchange exposure.

- 4 -

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Results and dividends

The results for the year are set out on page 10.

No ordinary dividends were paid. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.

 

Going concern

Subsequent to the year end, on 21 April 2023, the company was acquired by ATL Technology UK Holdings Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 14795385, and in doing so became part of the group headed by ATL Technology, LLC a Delaware limited liability company whose registered office is in Springville Utah.

The Directors have reviewed the current performance and position of the Company along with the future benefits of the acquisition and forecast future trading. The operations of the Company continue to be profitable and cash generative. The directors have received written confirmation from ATL Technology, LLC, that, following the acquisition, they will not take any actions which might impact the going concern status of the Company during this assessment period. Further, confirmation has also been obtained that if required, ATL Technology, LLC will provide the support required for the company to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Company's Directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue to operate within its existing facilities for at least this period. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF GYRUS MEDICAL LIMITED
- 7 -
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Gyrus Medical Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, 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).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 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 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 this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

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 directors' report.

 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, 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 is 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.

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 is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

GYRUS MEDICAL LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF GYRUS MEDICAL LIMITED

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 and on the Financial Reporting Council’s website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

 

We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework.  Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.

 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:

 

 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading 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 reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.  The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

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 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 as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting policies
Company information

Gyrus Medical Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Castleton Court, Fortran Road, Cardiff, United Kingdom, CF3 0LT.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £000.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:

 

 

The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of its ultimate parent company at 31 March 2023, Olympus Corporation. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, 43-2 Hatagaya 2-Chome, Shibuya Ku, Tokyo, 151-0072, Japan.

1.2
Going concern

Subsequent to the year end, on 21 April 2023, the company was acquired by ATL Technology UK Holdings Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 14795385, and in doing so became part of the group headed by ATL Technology, LLC a Delaware limited liability company whose registered office is in Springville Utah.Subsequent to the year end, on 21 April 2023, the company was acquired by ATL Technology UK Holdings Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 14795385, and in doing so became part of the group headed by ATL Technology, LLC a Delaware limited liability company whose registered office is in Springville Utah.true

The Directors have reviewed the current performance and position of the Company along with the future benefits of the acquisition and forecast future trading. The operations of the Company continue to be profitable and cash generative. The directors have received written confirmation from ATL Technology, LLC, that, following the acquisition, they will not take any actions which might impact the going concern status of the Company during this assessment period. Further, confirmation has also been obtained that if required, ATL Technology, LLC will provide the support required for the company to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Company's Directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue to operate within its existing facilities for at least this period. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3
Turnover

Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.

 

When cash inflows are deferred and represent a financing arrangement, the fair value of the consideration is the present value of the future receipts. The difference between the fair value of the consideration and the nominal amount received is recognised as interest income.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods), the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

1.4
Research and development expenditure

Research expenditure is written off against profits in the year in which it is incurred. Identifiable development expenditure is capitalised to the extent that the technical, commercial and financial feasibility can be demonstrated.

1.5
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Brand equity
8 Years
1.6
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold improvements
Term of the lease
Plant and equipment
3 to 8 Years
Fixtures and fittings
3 Years
Motor vehicles
3 Years

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

1.7
Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 15 -

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

 

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.8
Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.

 

Stocks held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of cost and replacement cost, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

1.9
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10
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.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs 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.

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.

 

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal 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 or 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 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.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.12
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

GYRUS MEDICAL LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 17 -
Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

1.13
Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.14
Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.15
Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

Accruals

Provision is made for costs that have been incurred and obligations which have been entered into, but neither of which have yet been invoiced for. This requires managements best estimate of final costs that have been incurred based on the fulfilment by suppliers of their contractual agreements and based on legislative and contractual requirements. Where settlement for such liabilities will be incurred in future periods, the timing of cash flows and the discount rates used to establish net present value of the obligations require managements judgement.
