STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2024. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The Income Statement is set out on Page 8 and shows the profit for the period. |
The directors consider the state of the company's affairs to be satisfactory. The directors believe the company is still performing well in the current financial year and the directors are hopeful that the company will continue to improve in the future. |
Key performance indicators used by the company are: |
2024 | 2023 |
Turnover | £32.11m | £27.01m |
Gross Profit | £7.67m | £4.57m |
Operating Profit | £3.15m | £2.23m |
Net Profit | £1.75m | £1.37m |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The principal risks facing the business relate to the general state of the industrial economy in the UK and in those countries to which the company exports and the growth of the company's key markets, the continuity of supply of the key metals used in the business, the financial health of the company's main customers and the development of metal prices. |
Financial instruments of significance to the company comprise primary financial instruments (mainly cash, borrowings, debtors and creditors). |
The main financial risks arising from the company's activities are credit risk, market risk (metal prices and foreign exchange) and liquidity risk. These are monitored by the Board and were not considered to be significant at the balance sheet date. |
The company's policy in respect of credit risk is to mitigate the risk of loss by adhering to credit control procedures including the use of credit limits and credit insurance. |
Exposures to metal price movements are restricted by the imposition of trading position limits agreed by the board. The company mitigates its foreign exchange risk by entering into forward currency contracts. |
Liquidity risk is managed by planning for future funding requirements to ensure adequate facilities are available. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
AVON SPECIALTY METALS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08165136) |

DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 July 2023 to the date of this report. |
Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
EMPLOYEES |
The Board recognises that a fundamental key to their success is the ability to develop a strong and highly motivated workforce if it is to achieve its goals. To this extent it is investing in several areas to improve the working environment and enable staff to be more productive and efficient. |
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS |
The company recognises its responsibility in terms of protecting the environment for the future. It is committed to the principles of sustainability within its own operations and it seeks to improve the performance, safety and the environmental profile of both its range of products and its manufacturing facilities. |
The company continuously reviews its health and safety performance to ensure that it complies with the latest regulations and provides a safe working environment for all employees. |
STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING |
The company does not prepare its own Streamlined Energy and Carbon Report but consolidates its energy and carbon data into a report published in the consolidated financial statements of The Remet Company Limited (its immediate holding company) and in the consolidated financial statements of The Remet Group, its ultimate holding company. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he 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, MGR SD Limited, have been appointed as auditors during the year, under Section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, and will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
AVON SPECIALTY METALS LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Avon Specialty Metals Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 June 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 directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our 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 Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
AVON SPECIALTY METALS LIMITED |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters 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 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 three and four, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
AVON SPECIALTY METALS 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. |
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. Based on our understanding of the Company and its industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to Employment Law and we considered the extent to which non-compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006. |
We evaluated the directors' incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of management override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance and manipulating accounting estimates which could be subject to management bias. |
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to those identified risks, including non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) and fraud that are material to the financial statements. Our audit procedures included but were not limited to: |
-discussing with the directors and management their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations; |
-communicating identified laws and regulations throughout our engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; |
-considering the risk of acts by the company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud; and |
-verifying employees' right to work in the UK as part of adherence to Employment Law |
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to: |
-making enquiries of the directors and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; |
-gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud; |
-discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; |
-addressing the risks of fraud though management override of controls by performing journal entry testing; and |
-testing of accounting estimates which could be subject to management bias |
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls |
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. |

Avon Specialty Metals Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": |
• | the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; |
• | the requirements of paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c); |
• | the requirements of paragraphs 12.26, 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A; |
• | the requirement of paragraph 33.7. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgement: |
Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's tangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit. |
Other key sources of estimation uncertainty |
Tangible fixed assets (see note 8) |
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods supplied, excluding value added tax. Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. |

Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. |
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. |
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 statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |

Monetary amounts |
The financial statement are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. |
Interest Payable |
Interest payable is charged to the profit and loss account on an accruals basis. |
Basic financial assets |
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction and where material are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
Other financial assets |
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and where material the changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Total Comprehensive Income, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment |
Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating the interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the life of the debt instrument to the net carrying amount on initial recognition |
Impairment of financial assets |
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. |
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. The impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Total Comprehensive Income |
Derecognition of financial assets |
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity |
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and loans from company undertakings that are classified as debt are initially measured 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 the market rate of interest . |
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payables are classified as current liabilities if a payment is due within one year. If not, they are presented as non current liabilities. Short term creditors are initially recognised at transaction price and where material are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
