The financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

In accordance with Section 444 of the Companies Act 2006, the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings has not been delivered.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 28 February 2025 and were signed on its behalf by:

Mr G Sturm - Director

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Hansa-Flex Hydraulics UK 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 Company Information page.

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

2.	STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

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" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006.

3.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

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

Going concern

At 31 December 2024, the company had net liabilities and had incurred trading losses to date. The company is therefore reliant upon the continued financial support provided by the immediate parent company, Hansa-Flex International GmbH and director, Mr G Sturm, such support having been confirmed for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

Significant judgements and estimates

In the application of the Company's accounting policies the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There are no areas that are considered to be key areas of judgement or estimation uncertainty.

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost.

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at the transaction price, less any provisions for amounts considered irrecoverable.

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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.

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.

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.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measure at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after the deduction of trade discounts and value added tax. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances were required.

Revenue from the sale of goods and services is recognised when those goods and services are delivered and legal title has passed.

Government grants

Government grants shall be recognised in the profit and loss account on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

4.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2023 - NIL).
