Strategic Report
For the Period Ended 31 December 2023

Introduction
 
The directors present their Strategic Report for the 9 months ended 31 December 2023.

Business review
 
The principal activity of the Company continued to be that of a holding company of its subsidiary undertaking, MSS India Private Limited.
The company's immediate and ultimate parent undertaking at the beginning of the year was Bryden Capital Limited (now 'Chambertin Capital Limited'). During the year, on 31 May 2023, Bryden Capital Limited was acquired by Bamboo Bidco Limited, a company registered in Jersey.
The principal activities of the Group during the period continue to be the design, manufacture and supply of components and assemblies for the Electrical Transmission & Distribution, Power Storage and DC Electro refinery markets. In addition, the group has made significant inroads in the development of new products and customers in the Energy Transition market i.e. Electric vehicles, Green Hydrogen and Metals Recycling. 
Business performance of the Group headed by Chambertin Capital Limited (of which the main component is MSS India) remains strong, with turnover totalling £58,582k in the 9 months ended 31 December 2023 (Year ended 31 March 2023: £76,153k).

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The principal risk of the Company is the underperformance of the company's main asset, its investment in MSS India Private Limited.  The company seeks to minimise the uncertainty associated with this risk by closely monitoring the performance of MSS India Private Limited to identify potential underperformance and take remedial action where appropriate.

Financial key performance indicators
 
The company's key performance indicator is profit/(loss) after tax, which in the current period was a loss of £2,815 (Year to 31 March 2023: £61 loss).  No dividend was received from the subsidiary in the year and no dividend was paid to the parent company.

Other key performance indicators
 
The Company is an intermediate holding company, and there are no other key performance indicators.

Directors' statement of compliance with duty to promote the success of the Company
 
Chambertin Capital (UK) Limited is an intermediate holding company within the Chambertin Capital Limited group of companies.  
The Group’s principal objective is to establish and maintain its position as preferred partner to our customers and to increase the value of the Group by generating strong, sustainable and growing cash flows across industry and economic cycles. To achieve these objectives, the Group has the following key strategies:
• Consistently meeting and surpassing our customers' expectations in terms of quality and supply reliability. 
• Offering development opportunities to our employees through skills enhancement and a commitment to learning, 
            fostering an empowered workforce.
• Establishing world-class operations with industry-leading process management in all disciplines, regularly practiced. 
• Contributing as a role model to the global energy transition as well as to a responsible and sustainable environment. 
• Making a positive contribution to our stakeholders and communities while achieving top-tier financial performance.

Strategic Report (continued)
For the Period Ended 31 December 2023

The directors believe these are critical long-term factors for the success of the Group. The directors’ decision making has supported the implementation of the strategy which aims to operate and develop the business in a way that supports both current and future needs. The directors strongly believe that sustainable business management and practices will contribute to the long-term business success and will strengthen the Group’s leading position in the market. The directors ensure that the Group has sufficient resources to support its long-term growth strategy and fund investment.
The Group operates in an industry characterised by long-term relationships between stakeholders and therefore engagement with stakeholders and maintaining a reputation for high standards of service and business conduct is vital. Engaging stakeholders and developing meaningful partnerships is essential for business. The Group engages in regular, open and proactive dialogue with all relevant stakeholders as this is needed to understand their perspectives, expectations, concerns and needs. In this way the Group is able to integrate stakeholders' considerations.
Key decisions taken by directors during the period are as follows:
• To continue to invest in recruitment and training and to boost capacity to support the Group’s continued growth and 
             expansion.
• The Group approved and committed significant amounts of Capital Expenditure to expand its capacity in its two    manufacturing bases in India and Poland.

Section 172(1) disclosures

Employee engagement
The Group places considerable value on the involvement of its employees and has continued to keep them informed on matters affecting them as employees and on the various factors affecting performance of the Group. This is achieved through regular meetings with employees, both formal and informal, giving the opportunity for consultation on a wide range of matters affecting their current and future interests.
Engagement with customers and suppliers
Customers
The Group's broad customer base spans industries, businesses and end users of our products. We work closely with our customers to understand their evolving needs so we can improve and adapt to meet them. The Group protects the interests of its customers through the careful selection of suppliers and other business partners, and through the standards set for its own actions.
Suppliers
We depend on the capability and performance of our suppliers to help deliver the products we need for our operations and our customers. The Group only works with suppliers who are prepared to eliminate problems or implement risk reduction measures.
Community, environment and members
The Group engages with the community and has relationships with local charities to whom it regularly contributes. The Group monitors and seeks to reduce its impact on the environment.

Future developments

The directors expect both Group revenues and profitability to increase in the forthcoming year as the business continues to invest in its people, systems and infrastructure in order to delivery the best service in the industry to our customers.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
 
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year.

 In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:


select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006They 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.

Directors' Report (continued)
For the Period Ended 31 December 2023

Going concern

The Company has net assets of £14,013 at 31 December 2023 (31 March 2023: £16,828) and net current liabilities totalling £407,161 (31 March 2023: £404,346). The Company owes £408,342 to its parent company, and the directors of the parent have confirmed that they have no intention of demanding payment in the next 12 months. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Engagement with suppliers, customers and others

Information on engagement with suppliers, customers and others can be found in the Strategic Report..
Engagement with employees
Information on employee engagement can be found in the Strategic Report.

Disabled employees

Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the abilities of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment with the Group continues and that appropriate training is arranged. It is the that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees’ policy of the Group.

Environmental, social and governance matters

We are in the process of developing our Group wide Environmental, Social and Governance Strategy.
As a Group we have continued in our pursuit of environmental protection and sustainability, this is evident in the continued increase in recycled material produced and used by the group and the setting of ‘green goals’ such as planting over 40,000 trees over previous years and 2,500 trees in the period to December 2024.  
The group aims to obtain carbon neutrality in its internal operations by 2030.
Greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and energy efficiency action

so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware, and

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Chambertin Capital (UK) Limited
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Chambertin Capital (UK) Limited (the 'Company') for the period ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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 31 December 2023 and of its loss for the period 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur 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. 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 course of 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.

the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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.

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.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Chambertin Capital (UK) Limited (continued)


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 an Auditors' Report 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
• The nature of the industry and sector in which the Company operates; the control environment and business     performance including key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets.
• The outcome of enquiries of local management and parent company management, including whether management    was aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations, and whether management had knowledge   of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud. 
• Supporting documentation relating to the Company's policies and procedures for:
    - Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations
    - Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud
• The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
• The outcome of discussions amongst the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the    financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
• The legal and regulatory framework in which the Company operates, particularly those laws and regulations which    have a direct effect on the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006, pensions and tax legislation, or    which had a fundamental effect on the operations of the Group and Company, including General Data Protection    requirements, and Anti-bribery and Corruption.
Audit response to risks identified
Our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
• Reviewing the financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with    the provisions of those relevant laws and regulations which have a direct effect on the financial statements.
• Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws  and regulations and fraud.
• Evaluation of the operating effectiveness of management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities.
• Enquiring of management about any actual and potential litigation and claims.
• Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships which may indicate risks of    material misstatement due to fraud.
 
Page 9

 
Chambertin Capital (UK) Limited
 
 
 
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Chambertin Capital (UK) Limited (continued)


We have also considered the risk of fraud through management override of controls by:
• Testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments. 
• Challenging assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimates, and assessing whether the    judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and
• Evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of    business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations are from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of them.  Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.


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 Auditors' Report.


Other matters 
 

The figures presented in the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 were unaudited. As required by auditing standards, we obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence to conclude that the opening balances do not contain misstatements that materially affect the current period's financial statements.


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 2006Our 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 an Auditors' Report 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.

General information

Chambertin Capital (UK) Limited is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales (registered number: 03745935).  The address of the registered office and the principal place of business is c/o MSS Products Ltd, Bankfield Road, Tyldesley, Manchester, M29 8QH.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The reporting period is the 9 months ended 31 December 2023 so that the reporting date is aligned with the wider group's accounting reference date. As the previous reporting period was the year ended 31 March 2023, the comparative amounts presented in the financial statements are not entirely comparable.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

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 the 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 Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d).

This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Chambertin Capital Limited as at 31 December 2023 and these financial statements may be obtained from Companies House.

 
2.3

Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements

The Company is a parent company that is also a subsidiary included in the consolidated financial statements of a larger group by a parent undertaking established under the law of any part of the United Kingdom and is therefore exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements under section 400 of the Companies Act 2006.

 
2.4

Going concern

The Company has net assets of £14,013 at 31 December 2023 (31 March 2023: £16,828) and net current liabilities totalling £407,161 (31 March 2023: £404,346). The Company owes £408,342 to its parent company, and the directors of the parent have confirmed that they have no intention of demanding payment in the next 12 months. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

For the Period Ended 31 December 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

 
2.6

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

Investments in listed company shares are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss for the period.

 
2.7

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.8

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.

 
2.9

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. 

 
2.10

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet 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 receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.10
Financial instruments (continued)

Other financial assets

Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. 

Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.

If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. 

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year.  However, the nature of the estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.  There are not considered to be any key judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty.
