GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 June 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The results of the group for the year and financial position of the company are as shown in the annexed financial statements.

For the year ended 30th June 2024, the group achieved a profit before tax of £661,282 (2023: £1,183,254) on turnover of £10,394,809 (2023: £11,774,627).

The group continues to retain a strong focus on managing efficiency and cost control, despite the rising cost of raw materials. The gross margin achieved was 41.8% compared with 42.7% last year, The business KPI's are continually monitored by the directors and changes are implemented where deemed appropriate in order to minimise the effects of any risks and uncertainties in retaining market share and maintaining margins to cover overheads.

During the period the group continued to reinvest in the research and development of new and innovative products and processes to gain a competitive advantage in existing and new markets.

On 28th September 2022 Bowmer Bond (Holdings) Limited transitioned to an Employee-Owned Trust (EOT),

By forming an Employee-Owned Trust (EOT), the directors believe that the group can best serve its customers, employees and all other stakeholders by retaining the values and culture which sit at the heart of the business.

Further to this, the transition to an Employee-owned company will also serve the best interests of our customers and the wider markets supplied.

Overall, the directors are satisfied with the performance for the year.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Competitive pressure is a continuing risk which requires the company to produce high quality and affordable products to its loyal customers.

The group is exposed to fluctuations of both the US Dollar and Euro currencies and seeks to mitigate potential losses that may be incurred. The directors expect the current global economic uncertainties to continue for some time and will continue to seek to mitigate the risks that arise while identifying and exploring opportunities.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The directors undertake to continue to maintain and adapt the strategies that have been developed to grow the business and to look for new innovative products and services to further complement the existing portfolio of high quality webbing products.

M A Allender - Director

QUALIFYING THIRD PARTY INDEMNITY PROVISION
During the financial year and at the time the directors report is approved, a Qualifying Third Party Indemnity Provision for the benefit of the company's directors is in force.

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT
As required by Section 414C(11) Companies Act 2006, this statement confirms that certain items that are required to be disclosed in the directors report are set out in the strategic report.

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.

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 ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
BOWMER BOND (HOLDINGS) LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Bowmer Bond (Holdings) Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other 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 30 June 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
BOWMER BOND (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 page three, 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.

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:

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:

- Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity's in-house legal team around actual and potential litigation and claims;
- Enquiry of entity staff in tax and compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
- Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.

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 further 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
BOWMER BOND (HOLDINGS) LIMITED


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.

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Bowmer Bond (Holdings) Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


The figures in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

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. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party
transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Bowmer Bond (Holdings) Limited and all its subsidiary undertakings. The Group profit and loss account includes the results of Bowmer Bond (Holdings) Limited and all its subsidiaries after inter group trading and profits have that been eliminated.

Significant judgements and estimates
- Key sources of estimation uncertainty.

The Company believes that there are no areas of material estimation uncertainty which affect the financial statements.

- Critical accounting judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies.

The Company believes that the major judgements applied are:

- The use of the going concern principle which is based on the belief that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

- Based on a review of the ongoing trading budgets and forecasts of its investments, that there is no need to
impair those investments and debtor balances due to the company from those entities.

Turnover and revenue recognition
Turnover represents amounts invoiced to customers in respect of goods, exclusive of value added tax. revenues are recognised when the goods have been despatched to the customer.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2013, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of two years.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Intellectual property rights are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of nil years.

BOWMER BOND (HOLDINGS) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06404783)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Intellectual property rights
Purchased Intellectual property rights are amortised over a period of 2 years from the date of acquisition of those rights.

Purchased Intellectual property property rights are also reviewed annually for any impairment below its carrying value reviewed annually for any impairment.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Freehold property - 2% Straight Line on cost or revaluation
Plant and machinery - 20% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 20% to 33% on cost
Motor vehicles - 20% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are stated at the historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to its
present location and condition.

Stocks
Stocks of raw materials and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Financial instruments
Financial Assets and Liabilities

The company's group loans receivable and payable meet the definition of a basic financial instrument, so they are originally recognised at the transaction price.

Debt instruments which are financing transactions at a rate of interest that is not a market rate.

Where debt instruments are classified as assets due after more than one year or long term liabilities, then the
company measures these at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Where debt instruments are classified as current assets or current liabilities, then there is no present value
adjustment to the initial measurement based on amortised cost.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

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.

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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.

Goodwill on consolidation
The negative goodwill on consolidation that arose as a result of the company's purchase of the entire share capital of B B Ashbourne Limited (and its subsidiaries) in 2007 was immediately credited to the groups profit and loss account.

Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are initially accounted for at the transaction price and are subsequently measured using the amortised costs and effective interest method.

The group does not have any complex financial instruments.

Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
