Group Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 July 2024 |
The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 July 2024. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS - JULY 2024 |
The Directors' remain satisfied with the business's financial performance. Turnover was down on prior year; however, gross margin was slightly improved due to the customer and product mix. |
Overheads were in line with expectations. The business has laid solid foundations to navigate its way through a challenging economic environment. |
Profit from operations in the year amounted to £1.52m (2023: £1.73m) |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The key business risks affecting the company are considered to be those relating to overall market and economic conditions which clearly remain very uncertain. |
The company continually reviews its position, in the light of the present market conditions and outlook, as part of its normal budgetary process. The directors believe that the company has considerable financial resources, as demonstrated by net current assets at 31 July 2024, to allow the company to complete its reorganisation and to continue to invest in its product lines and customer service. |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the forecast turnover and future cash flows in making their assessment. In particular, in response to the anticipated recession, the directors have tested their cash flow analysis to take into account the impact on their business of possible scenarios brought on by this possibility alongside the measures that they can take to mitigate the impact. Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the directors have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts. |

Group Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 July 2024 |
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES |
The company's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include the effects of credit risk and exchange rate risk. |
The company monitors and takes action in each of these areas as follows: |
Credit risk: |
The company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made. In addition, credit checks are made annually on those customers who are deemed to be a significant credit risk to the company. |
Exchange rate risk: |
The company monitors its exposures in the foreign currencies in which it regularly transacts in order to protect against excessive fluctuations. |
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
Our key performance indicators are sales development and gross margin. We also monitor closely our rates of stock turn-around and consumption. |
However, we also carefully monitor non-financial performance, particularly in customer service levels and employee retention. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Campion Holdings Limited (Registered number: 03292594) |
Report of the Directors |

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 July 2024. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The group has continued in its principle activity of suppliers of components to industry. |
DIVIDENDS |
An interim dividend of 126.89 per share was paid on 22 December 2023. The directors recommend that no final dividend be paid. |
The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 July 2024 will be £ 111,872 . |
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT |
Research and development expenditure is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
The group continues to recognise the importance of ongoing Research and Development in respect of its products and will maintain this investment as part of its operations and future strategies. |
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 August 2023 to the date of this report. |
EMPLOYEES |
Applications for employment from disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the respective aptitude and abilities of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment within the company continues and that appropriate training is arranged. It is the policy of the company that the training, career development and promotion of a disabled person should, as far as possible, be identical to that of a person who is fortunate enough not to suffer from a disability. |
Employees are kept informed and consulted on matters of importance to them, including those factors affecting the performance and future of the business, by regular meetings. |
DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
The company has chosen, in accordance with s414C(11) of the Companies Act, to set out in the company's strategic report information regarding the review of business and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the company. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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). 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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. |
Campion Holdings Limited (Registered number: 03292594) |
Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 31 July 2024 |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group 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 group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
Haines Watts Wolverhampton Limited are deemed to be re-appointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Campion Holdings Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Campion Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 July 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 July 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; 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 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 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 group's and 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 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Group 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Campion Holdings Limited |
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 Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept 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 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 pages four and five, 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 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 directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Campion Holdings 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. |
In identifying and assessing risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
Identifying and obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Company and the industry in which it operates, and made enquiry of the Company's management to understand the Company's compliance with that framework; |
Obtaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks relating to fraud or other error which could affect the financial reporting process; |
Making enquiries of management to determine whether they have knowledge of any actual or suspected fraud; |
Reviewing assumptions and judgements made by the management in its significant accounting estimates; |
In addition to transaction-based testing, on a sample basis, of sales, purchases and payroll costs, we have undertaken a review of accounting journals and non-routine payments and receipts; |
We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect irregularities, including those leading to 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 occuring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or mispresentation. |
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 |

Campion Holdings Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. |
Basis of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and all group undertakings. These are adjusted, where appropriate, to confirm to group accounting policies. Acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method and goodwill on consolidation is capitalised and written off over five years from the year of acquisition. The results of companies acquired or disposed of are included in the profit and loss account after or up to the date that control passes respectively. As a consolidated profit and loss account is published, a separate profit and loss account for the parent company is omitted from the group financial statements by virtue of section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
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. |
Stock valuation: |
The company carries stock which has been acquired over many years. The estimate of net realisable value is significant as the carrying value of stock is material to the financial statements. |
The company has gathered reliable and detailed data concerning stock consumption over time and uses this data to assess the likelihood of sales of stock items, dependent upon their age. The results of this analysis are expressed in percentage terms and those percentages are applied to the aged stock profile. |
The data is reviewed annually to ensure that the calculations remain valid, based upon current actual experience. |
Turnover |
The turnover shown in the profit and loss account is the amount receivable for the provision of goods and services falling within the Company's activities, net of Value Added Tax, rebates and trade discounts. |
Turnover from the provision of goods and services are recognised in the accounting period in which the Company obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance and when the amounts to be recognised are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Tangible fixed assets |
Fixed Assets |
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. |
Depreciation |
Depreciation 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: |
Leasehold Property | - over the period of the lease |
Plant & Machinery | - 15% reducing balance |
Fixtures & Fittings | - 15% reducing balance |
Motor Vehicles | - 25% straight line |
Computer Equipment | - 25% straight line |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost includes direct materials, labour and manufacturing overheads incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less further costs to completion and selling costs. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Research and development |
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
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. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
