STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
- 1 -

The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 May 2024.

Review of the business

The group operates within the automotive industry providing a diverse range of products which are sold business to business. Our primary focus is on vehicle protection products and digital marketing solutions.

 

The directors are pleased to report the increase in turnover for the year which has been the main area of focus for the group during the year. 2024 did, however, present its challenges to the Gardx Group. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) decision to restrict Gardx Assure’s ability to sell Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) insurance presented a number of challenges and we acknowledge that this has contributed to the group making a loss in the current year. To mitigate the loss of revenue caused by the restriction of GAP sales, the directors have focused on a strategy to significantly reduce operational overheads whilst continuing to drive other revenue growth. Since the year end, the sales of GAP has been reintroduced and with the cost control focus already in place we expect to return to healthy profits and increased revenue in 2025.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The group operates in an extremely competitive environment with a number of competitors offering vehicle protection products. By developing our existing vehicle protection range, investing in our world-class technology solutions and having a collaborative and growth focused approach with our partners, the directors believe that this differentiates us from our competitors.

 

Economic uncertainty and the cost of living crisis, have contributed to uncertainty in the Automotive industry posing a risk to the volumes of car sales. The directors believe that the business' market leading approach to working with and providing technology solutions to our customers will maximise the sales opportunities and allow us to offset this risk.

 

The group is exposed to fluctuations in global currencies, particularly movements in the pound Sterling against the US Dollar and the Euro. In the current financial year the group has not used forward currency contracts, however, since the year end the company now have a hedging facility in place to mitigate any future risk.

Key performance indicators

The directors have been focused on investing in future growth engines whilst transforming core business operations. They have also focused on a robust strategy of operational cost controls. Currently, the most important KPI for the business is its turnover growth.

 

Turnover for the year was £18,388,174 (2023: £18,151,607), an increase of 1.3%.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
- 3 -

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual 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. 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 group and company, and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

 

 

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group’s and company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and 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 group and company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

GARDX HOLDINGS LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF GARDX HOLDINGS LTD
- 4 -
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Gardx Holdings Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 May 2024 which comprise the group statement of comprehensive income, the group statement of financial position, the company statement of financial position, the group statement of changes in equity, the company statement of changes in equity, the group statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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:

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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent 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 group's and 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

GARDX HOLDINGS LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF GARDX HOLDINGS LTD
- 5 -
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 their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report.

 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, 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 is 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 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 parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's 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 auditor's 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.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

 

 

As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the company for fraud. We are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. As a result of performing the above, we identified the following areas as those most likely to have an impact on the financial statements: health and safety, employment law and compliance with the UK Companies Act.

GARDX HOLDINGS LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF GARDX HOLDINGS LTD
- 6 -

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

 

 

Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). For instance, the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise the non-compliance.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

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 an auditor's 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.

NOTES TO THE GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
- 13 -
1
Accounting policies
Company information

Gardx Holdings Ltd (“the company”) is a private limited company domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Lake House, 2 Port Way, Port Solent, Portsmouth, PO6 4TY.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include investment properties at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements for parent company information presented within the consolidated financial statements:

 

1.2
Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of Gardx Holdings Ltd and all of its subsidiaries (i.e. entities that the group controls through its power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefits). All financial statements are made up to 31 May 2024. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation.

 

On 20 February 2024 a group reconstruction occurred with the company acquiring the entire issued share capital of Gardx Assure Ltd. This transaction has been recorded under the 'merger accounting method' and these financial statements therefore present the full trading results of the group of companies for the year ended 31 May 2024 and for the comparative year.

 

A group company owns 50% of the shareholding of Go Smart Repair Limited. This entity has not been consolidated in the group financial statements on the grounds of materiality.

1.3
Going concern

2024 presented challenges to the Gardx Group. The Financial Conduct Authority decision to restrict Gardx’s ability to sell Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) insurance presented a number of challenges. In response, the Board implemented a focused strategy to control and reduce costs whilst driving revenue growth within the UK market. These measures have significantly strengthened the group’s financial position and resilience going into 2025. Looking ahead, cash flow and profitability forecasts indicate a significant improvement in 2025 and the company has also secured an invoice financing facility of £1.5m as part of the directors plans to stabilise the business and return to profitability.

 

It is worth noting that on the 1 March 2018 the trading business of a group company, Gardx Protection Ltd, was transferred to another group company. As a result the company is no longer trading. The directors have resolved that the company will be wound up once the assets and liabilities disclosed have been settled. The Gardx Protection Ltd accounts have therefore been prepared on a basis other than that of the going concern basis. As a result of this, the directors are seeking to realise the assets and settle the liabilities of the company in an orderly fashion and consider that the value of the assets and liabilities, as disclosed within these financial statements, represent the realisable values of each.

GARDX HOLDINGS LTD
NOTES TO THE GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 14 -

At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the rest of the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have considered relevant information, including the group’s principal risks and uncertainties, the annual budget, forecast future cash flows and the impact of subsequent events in making their assessment. Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty in relation to going concern and that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.

1.4
Revenue

Revenue 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 (usually on dispatch of the goods), 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.

Revenue from contracts for the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion when the stage of completion, costs incurred and costs to complete can be estimated reliably. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that it is probable will be recovered.

Commissions are recognised in the month which they are earned.

1.5
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Trademark
10 year straight line per annum
Website
10 year straight line per annum
1.6
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildings
2% straight line per annum
Leasehold improvements
10% straight line per annum
Fixtures and fittings
15% diminishing balance per annum
Computers
33% straight line per annum
Motor vehicles
20% diminishing balance per annum

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the income statement.

(Continued)
- 15 -
1.7
Investment properties

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

1.8
Non-current investments

In the parent company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

1.9
Impairment of non-current assets

At each reporting period end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.10
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

1.11
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include deposits held at call with banks and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.12
Financial instruments

The group 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 group's balance sheet when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

The group enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities including trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and loans from related parties.

 

Debt instruments including loans and other accounts receivable and payable are initially measured at transaction price and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method; Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.

 

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. Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

1.13
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the group.

1.14
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

1.15
Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the group will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

 

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value.

1.16
Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense.

1.17
Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.18
Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

1.19
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 in the period are included in profit or loss.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the group’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.

 

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.

Critical judgements

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Recoverability of intercompany and connected company debtors

The directors carried out a review of the amounts that they consider will be recoverable in respect of debts due from fellow group undertakings and connected companies. Unless the directors considered that there was a strong likelihood that the debts would be recovered from the related parties (either in part of in full), provision has been made for the amounts due.

Car maintenance & tyre and wheel alloy plans

Included within the sale of goods in revenue is the sale of Car Maintenance Plans (CMP) and Tyre and Wheel alloy plans. These are a product that are sold to third-party main dealers who then provide this service to the retail customers. Amounts expected to be incurred for future liabilities and warranty claims are included in provisions.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

CMP provision

The provision for the CMP repair fund costs has been based on actual costs incurred so far on maintenance plans that have been sold to date taking into account expected future patterns of behavior and the professional estimation provided by Lloyds underwriters. The amount included in provisions in relation to the CMP repair fund is £2,732,757 (2023: £2,187,659).

Trade and other receivables

Included in other receivables are the following non-trading loans:

 

The group has made a loan of £513,566 (2023: £513,566) to a company controlled by a former director in order to purchase an inventory of stock that will support growth. There are no repayment terms, however the group is entitled to a share of profit in lieu of interest. Based on current trading performance, the directors anticipate that the loan will be repaid within 2 years. A further interest free balance of £93,338 (2023: £93,338) is due from the director of this related party and it is anticipated that this will be repaid imminently. As these loans are outside of normal commercial terms, they are included in these accounts as repayable on demand and as such, have not been discounted.

 

Included in other receivables is a loan of £237,480 (2023: £237,480) to a significant customer of the group. In addition to this loan, the same customer owes the group £576,817 (2023: £1,094,839) in respect of trade debts. There is not an agreement in place in respect of interest charges or repayment terms for whether the loan or the trade debts, however, the directors of Gardx International have influence over the management of the customer's business and confirm the customer has recently won a major contract which will provide the liquid resources to repay these debts. Since the year end, the above company has become a connected company.

The security takes the form of a mortgage and a fixed and floating charge over the assets of the the relevant subsidiary company.

The relevant subsidiary company had two bank loans payable at 2.33% and 3.09% over base rate. The bank loans were repayable over 240 months and 180 months respectively. In addition it has a fixed rate loan repayable over 60 months at a rate of 4.9%.

 

Both bank loans have been repaid during the year, as the properties they were secured over have been sold and the loans repaid.

 

Other loans are in relation to COVID-19 bounce back loans and credit facilities, payable at 3.96% over base rate.
