STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023 |
The director presents his strategic report for the year ended 30 September 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
Syntiga Limited ("Syntiga") designs and develops a range of consumer goods with a primary focus within the Gaming and Gifts Category and distributes both direct to the Consumer ("D2C") and Wholesale Distribution ("B2B"). |
The year ended 30 September 2023 demonstrating notable progress compared to the preceding year. This is attributed to a number of factors Including normalization in shipping prices for most parts of the year and more efficient stock control and a much better control on operations after complexities caused during Covid and Brexit. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Syntiga is exposed to a number of risks which are set out below. |
Inflation |
Persistently high inflation and escalating operational costs pose significant challenges. Global competition intensifies as international sellers, with lower overhead costs, gain access to our markets. The current economic climate has led to a significant shift in consumer behavior and buying patterns, with individuals prioritizing value and scrutinizing their spending choices |
Liquidity Risk |
Syntiga has a positive cash balance and has credit terms from all of its trading Partners. |
Inflation |
Inflation is at a record high and this will carry many drawbacks until it levels out, including reduced demand for goods and services, decreased demand for some consumer products and more risks for business failure in general. Price testing will be done and we will carefully monitor our data to do what is best for our customers and the business. |
Global Conflict and Its Impact |
We are closely monitoring the ongoing geopolitical tensions and their potential impact on our business. Due to the unprecedented nature of this situation, we lack historical data to accurately forecast specific outcomes. |
To mitigate potential risks and ensure business continuity, we are committed to a proactive and adaptable approach. We will closely monitor developments and implement necessary adjustments to safeguard our operations |
Stock Level |
A substantial portion of our stock has become obsolete or has slowed down. Given the rapid pace of industry trends, we must adopt a more proactive approach to inventory control and we are constantly updating our stock forecasting procedures. |
By reducing our inventory levels and implementing better reporting systems, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of our product data. This will not only enhance our operational efficiency but also lead to substantial cost savings. By optimizing our storage solutions and leveraging more cost-effective locations, we can also further improve the business |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES - CONTINUED |
Supply Chain Challenges |
Operating with extensive European trade, we are actively managing the challenges posed by the evolving post-Brexit supply chain landscape. Syntiga has demonstrated adaptability and continues to refine our inventory processes to ensure efficient stock flow. |
Conclusion |
We have conducted stress tests to simulate various realistic and extreme adverse situations. The results show that Syntiga's processes are robust and the company is financially resilient and can withstand challenging situations that come in times of uncertainty without any external assistance. |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
By modernizing our technology stack, investing in employee training, and fostering a positive work culture, we've enhanced our sales performance and overall operational efficiency. This strategic approach has also made Syntiga a more enjoyable workplace for our entire team. |
Moving forward, we will continue to build upon our current strengths while expanding our product offerings. As a consumer products business this is very important for further growth. |
RESULTS AND KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
Syntiga performed in line with its objectives although the operating environment was challenging. |
The company does not have a need for complex performance indicators as the director has a very hands on approach. The company uses generic performance indicators, such as profit before tax and shareholder funds as well as the current asset ratio which is as follows: |
2023 | 2022 |
Current asset ratio | 9.33 | 13.81 |

DIRECTOR |
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. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
SYNTIGA LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Syntiga Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 September 2023 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 September 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. We were not appointed as auditor of the company until after 30 September 2022 and thus did not observe the counting of physical stock as at 30 September 2022. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the stock quantities held at 30 September 2022, which are included in the balance sheet at £2,807,718, by using other audit procedures. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount was necessary for that period. |
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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
SYNTIGA LIMITED |
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. |
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. |
Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, 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. |
Arising solely from the limitation of scope of our work relating to inventory, referred to above: |
- We have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and |
- We were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been maintained. |
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: |
- 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. |
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 |
SYNTIGA 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: |
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: |
Based on our understanding of the company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the regulatory requirements of the UK Governance Code, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. |
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to the posting of inappropriate journal entries or the manipulation of accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: |
- Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities; |
- Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud; |
- Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; |
- Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions; and |
- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates. |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
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 |

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all its financial instruments. |
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
Basic financial assets |
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivable and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
Classification of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of it liabilities. |
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and loans from related companies, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within on year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
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. |
SYNTIGA LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04537429) |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 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 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 |
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. |
HIRE PURCHASE AND LEASING COMMITMENTS |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Rentals payable under the operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
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. |
LEASING |
Rentals payable under the operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
