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 |
Sales turnover in the financial year 2024 under review was £26,831,629 compared with £21,262,987 the previous year, an increase of 26.2%. Trading margins have dropped slightly from 8% to 7.2%. |
Geographical sales in Europe were increased at 34% v 21% in previous year. Middle East was down at 34% v 39% whilst sales in Asia were down at 10% v 18%. Sales in the Americas were stable at 22%. |
At the statement of financial position date, the gross assets of the company were £8,430,239 (2023: £6,598,089), net cash at bank was £4,248,264 (2023: £3,409,855) and net assets were £2,459,606 (2023: £1,592,242). |
Business continues to be challenging in all origins and sourcing of product is still key. We have continued to find good supply for our customer base and believe for 2025 there will be some softening in the market on prices, but they will still remain on the high side compared with levels pre-covid. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The main risks facing the business are as follows: |
Liquidity risk |
The company seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. |
Credit risk |
The company reviews its credit policies regarding trade debtors on a regular basis to ensure terms are adhered to. |
Currency risk |
The company hedges against currency risks in relation to its functional currency, the US Dollar. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Adbac Ltd (Registered number: 05441765) |
Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 2024. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the company is buying and processing unmanufactured tobacco through a strong global network of suppliers and then selling the tobacco to manufacturers throughout the world. Adbac do not make a finished consumable product. |
DIVIDENDS |
Interim dividends of £nil (2023: £nil) were paid. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend. |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
We have managed to provide good supply for our customer base, despite the challenging circumstances and we expect there will be an easing on supply in FY25. Our carry over for FY25 is good and we expect to keep our financials consistent. We continue to secure stock for our customer base, despite the short supply and carry over for FY25 is good. We expect FY25 to be similar to FY24. |
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 July 2023 to the date of this report. |
INFORMATION IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
Information relating to principal risks and uncertainties is shown in the Strategic Report, under s414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006. |
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. |
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. |

Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024 |
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 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 company's auditors are aware of that information. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Adbac Ltd |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Adbac Ltd (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, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 |
Adbac Ltd |
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 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 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 |
Adbac Ltd |
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: |
In identifying and assessing 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 the company is in, its control environment and business performance, including the design of the company's policies and key drivers; |
- Results of our enquiries of management about their own assessment of the risks of irregularities; |
- Any matters we identified having reviewed the company's policies and procedures relating to: |
- identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; |
- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; |
- the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; and |
- The matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. |
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. |
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: |
- Enquiries of management and staff concerning any instances of non-compliance with laws; |
- Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; and |
- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; checking internal controls are being followed and assessing suitability; and assessing the judgements made in making accounting estimates. |
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. 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 Report of the Auditors. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Adbac Ltd |
Use of our report |

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 |
Adbac Ltd is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling (£), which is the currency of the country in which the company is registered. The functional currency of the company is US Dollars. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. |
Turnover |
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates. |
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Amounts received from customers in advance of revenue being recognised are shown as deferred income within creditors. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
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 of 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. |
Fixed asset investments |
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in the Income Statement. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current 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 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. |
Foreign exchange |
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in the Income Statement for the period. |

for the Year Ended 30 June 2024 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Operating leases |
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. |
Retirement benefits |
The company makes contributions to directors' and staff personal pension schemes which are charged to the Income Statement when they are paid, and to a defined contribution scheme for staff which are charged to the Income Statement in the period to which they relate. |
Derivatives and hedging |
Derivatives, including hedges, are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting end date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the Income Statement immediately. |
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial asset, whereas a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised as a financial liability. |
3. | JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
Judgements in applying accounting policies |
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements: |
To determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's tangible fixed assets and fixed asset investments. Factors taken into consideration reaching a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset. |
To determine whether provisions such as for doubtful debts are required. The directors look at the likelihood of these provisions crystallising by assessing all the information available at the time in determining the decision. |
Key sources of estimation uncertainties |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
Particular estimation uncertainty are as follows: |
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives taking into account residual values where appropriate. The actual lives may depend on a number of factors including product life and replacement policies. |
The company's hedging cover via its forward contracts is estimated by the directors based on the expectations of future cash flows and currency requirements, which depend on numerous factors including expected currency movements and anticipated trading volumes. |
