Strategic Report
Year ended 31 January 2024
The director presents his strategic report for the year ended 31st January 2024. Review of the business The principal activity of the group continued to be the supply and distribution of washroom & cleaning products, heating, cooling and other small household appliances via various online retail platforms to both the consumer and B2B markets. The year ended 31st January 2024 has been challenging due to the continued effect of the cost of living crisis which has squeezed household incomes significantly. The focus on energy-saving products continues to work in our favour due to the nature of our product base, although consumers are generally now more cautious in their spending habits due to their limited disposable income availability. During this period, we have traded profitably and have protected our cash reserves, to ensure that our business remains strong and can meet all it's liabilities.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The director considers the risks to the business both during the monthly management meetings and also during informal regular meetings where various different aspects of the business are discussed. The principal risks and uncertainties are considered to be as follows:-
Competitive risk
We are constantly monitoring our product ranges to ensure we are providing the best quality and technologically up-to date products to our consumers at the best possible price. The group is actively working product development on a constant basis. We are working on adding to our current outlets for sales to ensure the long-term growth of the business. We are currently selling mainly within the UK but are actively exploring the possibility of building sales relationships outside of the UK.
Credit risk
In order to manage our risk in this area, credit checks are done on all potential credit customers and existing companies are monitored for any changes.
Liquidity risk
The Director manages and controls the group cashflows on a monthly basis to ensure all obligations are met and payments are made on time. The group does not currently require any outside finance and has self-funded its growth over the years.
Currency risk
A significant proportion of our products are imported from abroad so the group has to deal with foreign exchange fluctuations. This is managed by working with Foreign Exchange Brokers to facilitate payments and the limited use of forward contracts.
Key performance indicators
Turnover decreased 6.75% to £22,984,453 (2023 £24,647,372). Gross profit amounted to £8,736,826 (2023 £8,521,665) at a gross profit margin of 38.0% (2023 34.6%). Operating profit amounted to £2,465,495 (2023 £2,320,341). Net assets at 31st January 2024 were £6,777,262 (2023 £5,416,220).
Future developments
There is still uncertainty over the UK economy and the risks to growth remain significant. The group expects that the cost of living crisis will continue to have an effect on consumer spending in the coming years but, because of the product base we have, the group expects turnover to be maintained in the coming 12 months. We are working closely with our suppliers to grow our market share with both our existing and new products in the coming 12 months.

Director's responsibilities statement
The director is responsible for preparing the strategic report, director's report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and the company and the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgments 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 director is 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. He is 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. Auditor
Each of the persons who is a director at the date of approval of this report confirms that:
- so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the group and the company's auditor is unaware; and - they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group and the company's auditor is aware of that information.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Newton Holdings Yorkshire Limited
Year ended 31 January 2024
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Newton Holdings Yorkshire Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 January 2024 which comprise the consolidated statement of income and retained earnings, company statement of income and retained earnings, consolidated statement of financial position, company statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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 FRS 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 group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 January 2024 and of the group's profit for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; - 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 auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group 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 director's 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 group's or the parent 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 director 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 director is responsible for the other information. 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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. Other matters The financial statements of Newton Holdings Yorkshire Limited for the previous year ended 31st January 2022 were unaudited.
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 director's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the strategic report and the director's report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the director's 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: - adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or - the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of the director
As explained more fully in the director's responsibilities statement, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is responsible for assessing the group's and the parent 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 director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has 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. 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 identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following: - 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 management; - We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including UK Companies legislation, tax legislation, employment legislation, environmental and health and safety legislation; - We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; 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; - Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and - The matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: - Performed analytical procedures to identify unusual or unexpected relationships; - Tested journal entries and other adjustments to identify unusual transactions; - Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; - Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: - Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations; - Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; - Enquiring of management as to actual or potential litigation claims; - Reviewing correspondence with HMRC, and the company's legal advisors. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we become aware of it. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: - 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. 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. - Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group's internal control. - Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the director. - Conclude on the appropriateness of the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group's or the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group or the parent company to cease to continue as a going concern. - Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. - Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 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.

Newton Holdings Yorkshire Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 January 2024
1. General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Tayson House, Methley Road, Castleford, West Yorkshire, WF10 1PA.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Disclosure exemptions
The parent company satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following reduced disclosures available under FRS 102:
(a) Disclosures in respect of each class of share capital have not been presented.
(b) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company.
(c) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.
(d) No disclosure has been given for the aggregate remuneration of key management personnel.
Consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Newton Holdings Yorkshire Limited and all of its subsidiary undertakings.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included from or to the date that control passes.
The parent company has applied the exemption contained in section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its individual profit and loss account.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Revenue recognition
Revenue in respect of turnover is recognised when goods have been delivered to customers such that risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them.
Income tax
Taxation represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period 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 assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised.
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the profit and loss account.
Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.
Intangible assets
Patents, trademarks and licences are stated at cost.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Patents, trademarks and licences
-
10% straight line
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures and fittings
-
15% reducing balance
Computer equipment
-
20% reducing balance
Investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost. The company holds the following financial assets and liabilities: Cash Short-term trade and other debtors and creditors Cash in the balance sheet comprises cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less. Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account before operating profit.
Defined contribution plans
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are recognised in the income statement when due.
