STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
Key Performance Indicators |
Turnover | Gross profit | Pre tax profit |
2023 | £8,061,558 | £3,026,832 | £189,297 |
2022 | £8,952,980 | £3,425,217 | £517,462 |
2021 | £11,393,769 | £4,413,280 | £1,591,165 |
2020 | £9,915,971 | £3,699,432 | £1,213,691 |
2019 | £7,394,608 | £2,742,417 | £281,836 |
2023 has been a difficult year for the business. The energy cost crisis has had an impact on Plastica's above ground pool and spa market. This has also been the case across the whole wet leisure market and as a result we have found our customers carrying large stock reserves and not wanting or needing to replenish their stock holding. This has also had a negative impact on our Water Treatment products turnover. |
On a more positive note, Plastica's Commercial Foam Covers offering has had an exceptional year. The increase in energy costs has increased demand for cost savings in large public swimming pools and Plastica is in a position to offer customers bespoke products to meet their needs. |
Plastica achieved ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 during 2023 further enhancing our Environmental and Health and Safety credentials. |
Overall the company remains profitable and retains a significant share of the market. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Although the cost-of-living crisis is now easing and inflation is reducing, we still envisage that 2024 will be a difficult trading environment. This is an election year and although it looks likely that the election will not be held until later in the year, historically election years have made trading difficult. |
The market place is still very competitive and we are looking at a pricing regime for 2024 that will ensure we can maintain a suitable margin but remain competitive. |
We are monitoring the issues in the Middle East closely as any increase in shipping costs may have an impact on our margins. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
Plastica invested heavily in 2023 in new machinery and is looking to continue this trend in 2024. |
Plastica is also looking for new retail opportunities for its range of non-swimming pool related products. The aim is to reduce the affects of the seasonality of the business and diversify into new market places. |
Plastica is also looking to further streamline the business to allow for growth but without having to increase its non-direct workforce. |
Plastica is cash positive and therefore its borrowing needs are minimal and the business is well placed to move into a growth phase. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
PLASTICA LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01856576) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of the purchase, manufacture and distribution of swimming pool related products. |
DIVIDENDS |
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2023 to the date of this report. |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The company's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade creditors, trade debtors, operating lease agreements and directors' loans. The main purpose of these instruments is to finance the company's operations. |
Due to the nature of the financial instruments used by the company there is no exposure to price risk. The company's approach to managing other risks applicable to the financial instruments concerned is shown below. |
In respect of bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between the continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts at floating rates of interest. |
The loans from the directors do not have interest charged but are repayable on demand. The directors are aware of the company's required finance and have determined that these will only be repaid, in whole or in part, when finance is available. |
The company's operating lease commitments are in respect of the property from which the company operates as well as motor vehicles. The liquidity risk in respect of these is managed in the same way as loans above. |
The company's trade debtors are factored thorough the bank although the company retains all significant benefits and risks in respect of these. These are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits. |
Trade creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due. |
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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 '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; |
- | 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. |
PLASTICA LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01856576) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
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, Ashdown Hurrey Auditors Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
PLASTICA LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Plastica Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of 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 2023 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 |
PLASTICA 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. |
During the planning stage of this audit we considered the laws and regulations relevant to the company, this process included enquiry of management, those charged with governance and a review of the prior year file. This review revealed that the company operates under the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) legislation. There were also a number of general laws and regulations which were identified as applicable. |
Consideration was given to the potential of management override of systems and controls and the possibility of fraud in relation to revenue recognition. |
These points were discussed during the audit planning meeting held by the team. |
During the course of this audit the team discussed these areas with senior members of staff and also carried out a review of legal expenses for any evidence of such. Minutes of Management and Board meetings were further reviewed. Systems and walkthrough testing was carried out along with detailed testing of revenue. |
We are therefore of the opinion that given the risk level identified, our procedures planned and undertaken are adequate for detecting irregularities. |
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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
PLASTICA LIMITED |

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. |

Plastica Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are required to make an assessment of the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The directors have considered all available evidence for the company which covers the 12 month period from the date of signing these financial statements. |
The company has substantial net current assets and net assets, the directors are confident that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. In reaching this conclusion they are satisfied that no material uncertainty exists. The directors have concluded that it remains appropriate to adopt a going concern basis of preparation in these financial statements and that no material uncertainty exists in reaching this conclusion. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Turnover represents the sale of products stocked by the company and is recognised at the point when the goods leave Plastica's premises. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Improvements to property | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Stock is valued by the company using a Standard Costing method as is common with manufacturers. This standard cost is periodically reviewed to ensure that it also reflects actual cost. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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 |
Monetary 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. |
Forward purchase contracts for foreign currency are valued in accordance with FRS102. Gains or losses on these are included within the profit & loss account. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Financial instruments |
The company accounts for financial instruments using the measurement requirements of FRS102. |
In respect of Currency forwards the company accounts for any differences between the contract and year end rates as necessary, unless the amount is deemed immaterial to the financial statements. These contracts are valued at fair value, with any changes being made through the Profit and Loss account. |
