Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 |
The director presents his strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2024. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
iRob International Limited is an innovative automation engineering organisation, primarily operating within the automotive sector. Our team of highly skilled engineers provide a diverse set of competences that enables us to provide turnkey solutions to our customers. |
Results and performance |
The results for the year show a profit on ordinary activities before tax of £10,417,140 (2023 - £1,042,618). |
The results reflect the company's strong underlying trading activities and drive to improve the efficiency and focus on our operations. We are satisfied with the current years trading results and are in line with our expectations. |
Business environment |
Despite come challenging market conditions we have won new customers and strengthened relationships with existing key customers. We have a growing number of opportunities in the pipeline which is encouraging. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The process of risk management is applied through a combination of policies, procedures and internal controls. All |
policies are subject to Board approval and ongoing review by management. Compliance with regulation, legal and |
ethical standards are a high priority for the company to ensure they are able to continue trading. The finance team is |
responsible for ensuring that effective internal controls exist to manage the financial risks and that these controls operate effectively for the benefit of the business. |
The principal risks from our business are as follows: |
Brexit risk: Whilst the company operates primarily in the UK markets, Brexit brings uncertainty to both to our customers and our European supplier base. |
Competitor risk: Operating in a highly competitive market with advancements in the use and application of technology moving quickly, the company has to ensure we are balancing both customer requirements and market advances to be able to deliver the best product solution. |
Liquidity risk and going concern: The company regularly monitors its liquidity position to ensure that sufficient funds |
are available to meet both current and future working capital requirements. |
Credit risk: The company assess the credit risk of all customers at the quoting stage of the sales cycle. As part of the terms of negotiating a sale and product fulfilment the company will put emphasis on stage payments to minimise overall exposure. |
Economic risk: The company's trading is broadly linked to the performance of the UK economy and therefore, is |
exposed to recessionary risk when economies come into difficulties. To mitigate such a risk, management regularly |
review the market to assess the potential impact on the business operations. |
With the above business risks and uncertainties in mind, we are aware that any plans for the future development of the business may be subject to unforeseen future events outside of our control. |

DIRECTOR |
DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
The company has chosen in accordance with Companies Act 2006, s. 414C(11) to set out in the company's strategic report information required by Schedule 7 of the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 to be contained in the directors' report. It has done so in respect of future developments. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director 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 company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is 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 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 him 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. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the director is 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 he 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, Charnwood Accountants & Business Advisors LLP, have expressed their willingness to continue in office |
as auditors and will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting in accordance with Section 485 & 487 of the Companies Act 2006. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
I Rob International Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of I Rob International Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 April 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other 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 30 April 2024 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 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 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 director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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 Director 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 Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
I Rob International 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 Director. |
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 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 director |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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 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 company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
I Rob International 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 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. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud |
Irregularities are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the Financial Statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit. |
In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the Financial Statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. |
However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs(UK). The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. As such material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment and or collusion. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
We obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector, including the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operate in and how the Company are complying with the legal and regulatory frameworks. Focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act, pension legislation and UK tax legislation. |
We inquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud; |
We discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the Financial Statements may be susceptible to fraud, having obtained an understanding of the effectiveness of the control environment. |
The engagement partner assessed that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by evaluating management's incentives and opportunities for manipulation of the financial statements. This included the evaluation of the risk of management override of controls. In assessing the potential risks of material misstatement, we obtained an understanding of the company's operations, including the nature of its income and expenditure together with its objectives and strategies to understand the classes of transactions, account balances, expected financial statement disclosures and business risks that may result in risks of material misstatement. Also on the company's control environment, including the policies and procedures implemented by the company to ensure compliance with the requirements of the financial reporting framework. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
I Rob International Limited |
We determined that the principal risk in relation to areas of increased management judgement, which could be impacted by management bias, was through the use of journal entries that increase revenues, profits or the carrying value of property plant and equipment in order to inflate results of the company. |
Our audit procedures involved: |
The evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls that the company has in place to prevent and detect fraud; |
To undertake journal entry testing, with a focus on higher risk journal, such as, posted by senior management, journals with unusual attributes, journals without any descriptions and closing journals posted during the preparation of the financial statements, which are material and not reoccurring or common postings which fall outside of the auditor's expectations. Together with assessing whether the judgments made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias. |
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations our procedures included, but which were not limited to; |
Enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims against the company; |
Completing a review of relevant legal and professional costs within the accounting records for any evidence of previously un-detected or un-reported instances of non-compliance. |
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. |
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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |

Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
I Rob International Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
The nature of the company's operations and its principal activities are set out in the Strategic Report. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006 and under the provision of The Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets. |
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below. |
I Rob International Limited (Registered number: 08948923) |
Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, which are described in the accounting policies below, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
Judgements |
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following key judgements that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements as described below. |
- Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's tangible assets along with residual values and asset lives. The residual value is the net realisable value of an asset at the end of its useful economic life. The entity has made an assessment of the residual values that are appropriate for the business and reviews this assessment annually. Note 6 provides details of the value of fixed assets capitalised. |
Estimates and assumptions |
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the entity. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. |
a) Establishing useful economic lives for depreciation purposes of property, plant and equipment |
Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property, plant and equipment, comprise a significant portion of the total assets. The annual depreciation charge depends primarily on the estimated useful economic lives of each type of asset and estimates of residual values. The directors regularly review these asset useful economic lives and change them as necessary to reflect current thinking on remaining lives in light of prospective economic utilisation and physical condition of the assets concerned. Changes in asset useful lives can have a significant impact on depreciation and amortisation charges for the period. Detail of the useful economic lives is included in the tangible fixed asset accounting policy. |
b) Providing for bad and doubtful debts |
The entity makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. The entity uses estimates based on historical experience in determining the level of debts, which they believe, will not be collected. These estimates include such factors as the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. Any significant reduction in the level of customers that default on payments or other significant improvements that resulted in a reduction in the level of bad debt provision would have a positive impact on the operating results. The level of provision required is reviewed on an on-going basis. |
c) WIP |
At each reporting date judgement is used by management to establish the net realisable value of . WIP. Provisions are established for net realisable value where appropriate and are made are based on facts available at the time. The level of provision required is reviewed on an on-going basis. |
In arriving at an estimate for the net realisable value of WIP, judgement is required in assessing their likely value on realisation taking into account market changes. |

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 amounts (excluding value added tax) derived from the provision of goods and services to customers during the year. |
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of the goods or services provided have transferred to the buyer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company. |
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable from the sale of goods and services to third parties. Revenue of the company comprises of the following key streams: |
Sale of goods - Revenue on the sale of goods delivered is recognised when goods have been despatched to the customer. No revenue is recognised on work in progress. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Improvements to property | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. |
Stocks |
Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. |
Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contracted arrangement as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidenced a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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. |
Research and development |

In the Budget 2020, the government announced that the corporation tax main rate (for all profits except ring fence profits) for the years starting 1 April 2020 and 2021 would remain at 19%. In the Spring Budget 2021, the UK Government announced that from 1 April 2023 the corporation tax rate would increase to 25% (rather than remaining at 19%, as previously enacted). This new law was substantively enacted on 24 May 2021. |
In the Autumn Statement in November 2022, the government confirmed the increase in corporation tax rate to 25% from April 2023. |
The effective tax rate differs from the UK corporation tax rate principally due to the deductibility of allowances on capital expenditure and other permanent differences arising in the period as detailed in the tax charge reconciliation. |
