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 |
In what is a very competitive market, Marpak maintained a similar level of tonnage sold as in the previous year and achieved targeted margins based upon that level of production. However, the value of turnover for the year reduced by 24% as much of the Company's sales is based upon agreed contract prices which are benched against global pricing structures for the cost of raw material, which showed reductions over the course of the year. Marpak, through shrewd purchasing and the continued good relations it has with suppliers was able to improve the gross profit percentage and the Directors are pleased to report the resulting net profit before taxation and dividends of £1,090,926. The Company continues to show similar trading in 2024. |
The favourable results achieved mean that during the year Retained earnings increased by £919,870. The Company's continued policy of retaining profits within the business, rather than distributing all profits, also contributes to this growth. |
Previously, the UK Government provided much needed stimulus to help businesses affected by COVID-19 but because of Marpak's strength and performance it had not relied upon this. Following COVID-19, the Global economy was impacted by the Ukraine War which contributed to the UK's "Cost of Living Crisis". As a responsible employer, the Company evaluated the effect of this on its employees and has implemented higher than normal but fully costed wage increases to all members of staff. The Directors have considered the impact of the above and they believe the Company is in a strong position to continue to trade successfully due, in part, to the benched contract prices preserving gross margins and the varied nature of the end use of the Company's products. |
The Company has continued to invest during the year, including spending a total of £723,934 on fixed asset additions. This investment together with Marpak's "Green" emphasis means considerable strides have been made in supplying carbon neutral film to leading retailers. Add to this, the much lower carbon footprint the Company has achieved by down-gauging its products, ensures that Marpak continues to be seen as a market leader in sustainable packaging solutions. |
Further, due to stringent European-wide regulations surrounding recycling and sustainability, the Company is seen as more than just a supplier, becoming Packaging Advisers and key to many of its customers' supply chains. Marpak has traded throughout Europe for a number of years and prides itself on the relationships it has fostered. It has made strategic partnerships by supplying products which are unique within the industry and following Brexit, these ties have continued to strengthen. This awareness has spread worldwide, with a substantial and growing export tonnage being achieved in new markets. As Marpak continues to grow globally, the Directors are confident that the Company is well equipped to deal with the future challenges that might arise, given complicated trading arrangements with the EU and beyond, ensuring its continued supply of product from suppliers to customers. |
The Company continues to engage external expert support to undertake ongoing review of expenditure, in light of HMRC rules governing "Research & Development" and as a result, taxation savings continue to be achieved. The Company's policy of investment in new manufacturing equipment and development will remain, with further capital purchases and development expenditure envisaged. The Company aims to continue to utilise the Government's currently available Annual Investment Allowance and R&D Enhanced Expenditure rules, intending to use its own resources to fund these, whilst continuing to access borrowing as and when opportunities arise. |

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. |
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 or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
MARPAK EXTRUSIONS LIMITED (Registered number: 03905265) |
Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Armstrong Watson Audit Limited, will be deemed to be reappointed and will therefore continue in office. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of |
MARPAK EXTRUSIONS LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of MARPAK EXTRUSIONS LIMITED (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 2022 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 Auditors' Report 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. |
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of |
MARPAK EXTRUSIONS 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 in relation to which 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. |
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of |
MARPAK EXTRUSIONS 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 an Auditors' 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. |
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: |
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: |
- the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management and review of appropriate industry knowledge; |
- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management; and |
- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: |
- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and |
- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
- performed analytical procedures as a risk assessment tool to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships. |
- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls over purchase cycles on a sample basis. |
- reviewed the application of accounting policies with focus on those with heightened estimation uncertainty. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. |
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 Auditors' Report. |
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 Auditors' 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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A- ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006. |
The directors have considered the ongoing situation with regard to "The Cost of Living Crisis" as part of their going concern assessment. The view of the directors is that, while they acknowledge the significant disruption that the "Crisis" is bringing, the directors feel that the company is well placed to negotiate the unique set of circumstances facing the UK economy. Contingency plans have been implemented to mitigate risk through consideration of the company's key supply requirements for the coming months. |
The company's current level of cash is positive and it's post year end performance is in line with forecasts and budgets covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing this report. |
Therefore, after consideration of all known factors, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Expenditure on Development is amortised and written-off evenly over a period of ten years from the date it is incurred. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Improvements to property | - |
Plant & equipment | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
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 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 statement of financial position date. |

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
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. |
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. |

An increase in the UK corporate tax rate from 19% to 25% was announced in the 2021 budget and took effect from April 2023. Whilst the rate for small profits under £50,000 remains at 19%, there is taper relief for businesses with profits between £50,000 and £250,000.

9. | TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS - continued |
Plant & equipment are carried at current year value at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the Statement of Financial Position date. |
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. |
Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss. |
Fixed assets, included in the above, which are held under hire purchase contracts are as follows: |
