Additional information

Principal risks and uncertainties In February 2022, the Ukraine war started. This has had a significant impact on global supply chains and on oil and energy prices. The directors continue to monitor the impact of this and other geopolitical risks on the business. The other risks and uncertainties faced by the business are those typical of the industrial fasteners sector. These influences include the slowdown in the economy, the inflation rate, the level of competition, investment and activity and new entrants to the market in which we operate. These risks are mitigated by the company’s strong balance sheet, long standing reputation and tradition within the sector. Thus, the directors consider the company’s financial risk profile to be low. Dividend The directors do not recommend a payment of a dividend in the current year (2023: Stg£Nil). Directors In accordance with the Articles of Association, the directors are not required to retire by rotation. The directors and secretary, who held office at 31 December 2024 are outlined on page 1. Going concern The directors have given careful consideration to the risks (as outlined above) that exist at the date of approval of these financial statements and the related impact on the going concern basis of preparation. The directors have also considered its cash reserves on hand at the time of approval of the financial statements and trading performance post year end. As a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. The directors believe that sufficient financial resources are available to enable the company to meet its obligations as they fall due, covering a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. In forming their view, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. Post balance sheet events There have been no significant events since the balance sheet date which would require disclosure in or amendment of these financial statements. Strategic report exemption The company has availed of the exemption under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors’ Report) Regulations 2013 from implementing the Strategic Report requirements as the company qualifies as a small company for company law purposes. Disclosure of information to auditor The directors who held office at the date of approval of this directors’ report confirm that, so far as they are each aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware; and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information. Auditor Pursuant to Section 487 of the Companies Act 2006 the auditor will be deemed to be reappointed and KPMG will therefore continue in office.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2024

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover The total turnover of the company for the year has been derived from its principal activity wholly undertaken in Northern Ireland.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Where parts of an item of tangible fixed assets have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of tangible fixed assets, for example land is treated separately from buildings. Leases in which the entity assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Leased assets acquired by way of finance lease are stated on initial recognition at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, including any incremental costs directly attributable to negotiating and arranging the lease. At initial recognition a finance lease liability is recognised equal to the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The present value of the minimum lease payments is calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease. The entity assesses at each reporting date whether tangible fixed assets (including those leased under a finance lease) are impaired. Depreciation is charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of tangible fixed assets. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Equipment - 5 years Land and buildings (including fixtures and fittings) - 5 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed if there is an indication of a significant change since the last annual reporting date in the pattern by which the company expects to consume an asset’s future economic benefits.

    Valuation information and policy

    Stocks Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the first-in first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the stocks, production or conversion costs and other costs in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Provision is made for obsolete, slow moving or defective items, where appropriate.

    Other accounting policies

    Trade and other debtors/creditors Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Government grants Government grants are included within accruals in the balance sheet and credited to the profit and loss account over the expected useful lives of the assets to which they relate or in periods in which the related costs are incurred. Employee benefits Defined contribution plans and other long term employee benefits A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Termination benefits Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognised as an expense if the company has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting date, then they are discounted to their present value. Provisions A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, that can be reliably measured and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. Expenses Operating lease Payments (excluding costs for services and insurance) made under operating leases are recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless the payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation; in which case the payments related to the structured increases are recognised as incurred. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit and loss over the term of the lease as an integral part of the total lease expense. Finance lease Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability using the rate implicit in the lease. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rents are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Interest receivable and interest payable Interest receivable and similar income include interest receivable on funds invested and net foreign exchange gains. Interest payable and similar charges include interest payable, finance charges on shares classified as liabilities and finance leases recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method, unwinding of the discount on provisions, and net foreign exchange losses that are recognised in the profit and loss account (see foreign currency accounting policy). Interest income and interest payable are recognised in profit or loss as they accrue, using the effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognised in the profit and loss account on the date the entity’s right to receive payments is established. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis. Taxation Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided on timing differences which arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. The following timing differences are not provided for: differences between accumulated depreciation and tax allowances for the cost of a fixed asset if and when all conditions for retaining the tax allowances have been met; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, to the extent that it is not probable that they will reverse in the foreseeable future and the reporting entity is able to control the reversal of the timing difference. Deferred tax is not recognised on permanent differences arising because certain types of income or expense are non-taxable or are disallowable for tax or because certain tax charges or allowances are greater or smaller than the corresponding income or expense. Deferred tax is provided in respect of the additional tax that will be paid or avoided on differences between the amount at which an asset (other than goodwill) or liability is recognised in a business combination and the corresponding amount that can be deducted or assessed for tax. Goodwill is adjusted by the amount of such deferred tax. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the reversal of the related difference, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. For non-depreciable assets that are measured using the revaluation model, deferred tax balances are not discounted. Taxation (continued) 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 currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the company’s functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are retranslated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the profit and loss account. Going concern The directors have given careful consideration to the risks (as outlined in the directors’ report) that exist at the date of approval of these financial statements and the related impact on the going concern basis of preparation. The directors have also considered its cash reserves on hand at the time of approval of the financial statements and trading performance post year end. As a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. The directors believe that sufficient financial resources are available to enable the company to meet its obligations as they fall due, covering a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. In forming their view, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. Cash flow statement exemption The company has availed of the exemption contained in Section 1A of FRS 102 and as a result have elected not to prepare a cash flow statement or its related notes.
