Caseware UK (AP4) 2024.0.164 2024.0.164 2024-09-302024-09-30Pargat Holding Limited is a private company; limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. The address of its registered office is Pargat House, 40 Birmingham Road, West Midlands, B71 4JZ. The principal activity is that of a holding company. Its company registration number is 10947580. Holding company activities.Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.The group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. The group has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102. Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Balance Sheet when the group 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 debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after the deduction of all its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, 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 creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors 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. Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the group transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the group will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained. Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost comprise bank overdraft, trade creditors, obligations under finance leases, amounts owed to group undertakings and hire purchase contract and other creditors.0Financial assets measured at fair value through the Statement of Comprehensive Income comprise of cash at bank. Financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise trade debtors and other debtors. Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost comprise bank overdraft, trade creditors, obligations under finance leases, amounts owed to group undertakings and hire purchase contract and other creditors.The group operates a defined contributions pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the company to the fund and amounted to £89,123 (2023: £89,260). Contributions totalling £8,256 (2023: £15,970) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date and are included in creditors. Defined contribution pension plan The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.02023-10-01false0falsefalsefalse 10947580 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 2022-10-01 2023-09-30 10947580 2024-09-30 10947580 2023-09-30 10947580 2022-10-01 10947580 2 2022-10-01 2023-09-30 10947580 3 2022-10-01 2023-09-30 10947580 1 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 e:Director1 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 e:Director2 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 e:Director3 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 e:RegisteredOffice 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 d:PlantMachinery 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 d:MotorVehicles 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 d:FurnitureFittings 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 d:PatentsTrademarksLicencesConcessionsSimilar 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2024-09-30 10947580 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2023-09-30 10947580 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments 1 2024-09-30 10947580 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments 1 2023-09-30 10947580 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments d:WithinOneYear 2024-09-30 10947580 d:CurrentFinancialInstruments d:WithinOneYear 2023-09-30 10947580 d:ShareCapital 2024-09-30 10947580 d:ShareCapital 2023-09-30 10947580 d:ShareCapital 2022-10-01 10947580 d:CapitalRedemptionReserve 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 d:CapitalRedemptionReserve 2024-09-30 10947580 d:CapitalRedemptionReserve 2023-09-30 10947580 d:CapitalRedemptionReserve 2022-10-01 10947580 d:CapitalRedemptionReserve 2 2022-10-01 2023-09-30 10947580 d:CapitalRedemptionReserve 3 2022-10-01 2023-09-30 10947580 d:MergerReserve 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2024-09-30 10947580 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2022-10-01 2023-09-30 10947580 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2023-09-30 10947580 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2022-10-01 10947580 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2 2022-10-01 2023-09-30 10947580 d:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 3 2022-10-01 2023-09-30 10947580 d:FinancialAssetsDesignatedFairValueThroughProfitOrLoss 2024-09-30 10947580 d:FinancialAssetsDesignatedFairValueThroughProfitOrLoss 2023-09-30 10947580 d:FinancialAssetsAmortisedCost 2024-09-30 10947580 d:FinancialAssetsAmortisedCost 2023-09-30 10947580 d:FinancialLiabilitiesAmortisedCost 2024-09-30 10947580 d:FinancialLiabilitiesAmortisedCost 2023-09-30 10947580 e:OrdinaryShareClass1 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 e:OrdinaryShareClass1 2024-09-30 10947580 e:OrdinaryShareClass1 2023-09-30 10947580 e:FRS102 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 e:Audited 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 e:FullAccounts 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 e:PrivateLimitedCompanyLtd 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 d:Subsidiary1 2024-09-30 10947580 d:Subsidiary1 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 d:Subsidiary1 1 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 e:Consolidated 2024-09-30 10947580 e:ConsolidatedGroupCompanyAccounts 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 2 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 6 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 10947580 d:ShareCapital 2 2022-10-01 2023-09-30 10947580 d:ShareCapital 3 2022-10-01 2023-09-30 10947580 f:PoundSterling 2023-10-01 2024-09-30 xbrli:shares iso4217:GBP xbrli:pure

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

Introduction
 
The directors present the Strategic Report for the year ended 30 September 2024. 

Business review
 
The principal core activities remain; inhouse manufacturing of non-stick aluminium cookware and steel bakeware and general housewares imports.
We implemented the restructuring plan throughout the year with the full support and participation of the entire board and management. This has resulted in a significant improvement in profitability and a large swing from loss to profit.
All costs both direct and indirect have been reduced and productivity much improved. Commercial and manufacturing operations have been consolidated and rationalised. Management information systems are now fit for purpose and the company is well prepared to face what continues to be an increasingly unstable macroeconomic environment.
A change in administration in the US with the threat of tariffs together with a UK budget which is generally antibusiness
is proving to be quite challenging, but the company has now been transformed and we are confidentthat growth in profitability and share-holder value has been re established.
The decision not to replace the managing director and indeed the finance director has been found to be prudent. These positions would only add to overhead and offer no value. The whole Board sets the direction of the group by consensus and after extensive consultation.
Outlook:
We are mindful of the effects of politics on exchange rates and business but are confident that we are better prepared to face these unknowns. At the time of writing the Chinese administration has removed export rebates of on aluminium raw material exports. This has led to a disjoint between SFHE/SMM Aluminium prices and the LME. We are actively investigating possible effects of this policy on our input prices and will adapt accordingly. We continue to pursue sales opportunities both within the UK and abroad and look forward to the new year with renewed confidence.
We would like to thank all customers, suppliers and the Pargat team in helping us to achieve this much improved trading performance.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The group strives to meet the challenges of a forever changing competitive retail driven market.

Financial key performance indicators
 
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £1,219,018 (2023: loss of £670,016) and net assets at the year end were £17,419,023 (2023: net assets of £16,200,005).

Other key performance indicators
 
The directors do not consider there to be any other key performance indicators other than those financial indicators detailed above.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024


Economic impact of global events

UK businesses are currently facing many uncertainties such as the changes in US trade policy, the ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and the changes in global leadership, particularly in UK and USA. These uncertainties have contributed to an environment where there exists a range of issues and risks, including inflation, rising interest rates, labour shortages, disrupted supply chains and new ways of working.
The Directors have carried out an assessment of the potential impact of these uncertainties on the business, including the impact of mitigation measures, and have concluded that the greatest impact on the business is expected to be from the economic ripple effect on the global economy. The Directors have taken account of these potential impacts in their going concern assessment. 
The group continues to work with its partners to minimise any impacts.
Financial risk management
Liquidity risk
The group manages its cash and borrowing requirements centrally to maximise interest income and minimise interest expense, whilst ensuring that the company has sufficient liquid resources to meet the operating needs of its businesses.
Interest rate borrowings
The group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on floating rate deposits, bank overdrafts and hire contracts.
Credit risk
Investments of cash surpluses and borrowings are made through banks and companies which must fulfil credit rating criteria approved by the company. All customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and provision is made for doubtful debts where necessary.

Future developments

The group will continue to seek ways to maintain its status as the largest cookware and bakeware manufacturer in the UK.

Qualifying third party indemnity provisions

The directors have no third-party indemnity provisions in place.

Going concern

The directors have formed a judgement at the time of approving the financial statements that the group has adequate resources available to continue operating for at least 12 months and conclude that there are no material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may cast doubt over the ability of the group to continue as a going concern.
The directors believe the strength of the group's working capital position and its continual monitoring has allowed the group to trade during the during this period of global economic instability. For this reason, the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PARGAT HOLDING LIMITED
 

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Pargat Holding Limited (the 'parent company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Company Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, the Group Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Consolidated Net Debt and 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 FRS 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 group’s and the parent company's affairs as at 30 September 2024 and of the group's 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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and the 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 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 Strategic Report and the Directors' Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Strategic Report and the Directors' 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PARGAT HOLDING LIMITED
 

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 the audit:
 
the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its 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:

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 Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3, 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 groups and 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 intend either to liquidate the groups and the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PARGAT HOLDING LIMITED
 

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.
 
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
 
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. 

Based on our understanding of the group and the company and their industry, we considered that non-compliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements: employment regulation, health and safety regulation and anti-money laundering regulation.

To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to:
Inquiring of management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, as to whether the group and the parent company is in compliance with laws and regulations, and discussing their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
Inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory authorities;
Communicating identified laws and regulations to the engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
Considering the risk of acts by the group and the parent company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.  

We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as tax legislation, pension legislation, the Companies Act 2006. 
 
In addition, we evaluated the directors' and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of override of controls, and determined that the principal risks were related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to, revenue recognition (which we pinpointed to the cut-off assertion), and significant one-off or unusual transactions.

Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
Making enquiries of the directors and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

1.


General information

Pargat Holding Limited is a private company; limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. The address of its registered office is Pargat House, 40 Birmingham Road, West Midlands, B71 4JZ. The principal activity is that of a holding company. Its company registration number is 10947580.

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

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Basis of consolidation

The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings. Intra-group profits are eliminated on consolidation. Profits and losses of companies entering or leaving the group are included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal.
In accordance with FRS102, the combination of Pargat & Co Limited and Pargat Holding Limited is accounted for under the merger accounting method of consolidation due to the fact that the group was formed as a result of a group reconstruction in which there has been no change in ultimate ownership. Under this method of consolidation the results of the two entities are combined as if the group had always been in existence.
Therefore, the group has recognised a merger reserve which arose on the business combination that was accounted for as a merger in accordance with UK GAAP as applied at that time.

 
2.3

Going concern

The directors have formed a judgement at the time of approving the financial statements that the group has adequate resources available to continue operating for at least 12 months and conclude that there are no material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may cast doubt over the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern.
The directors believe the strength of the group's working capital position and its continual monitoring has allowed the group to trade during the during this period of global economic instability. For this reason, the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The company's functional and presentational currency is GBP and rounded to the nearest £1.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income  except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'administrative costs'.

 
2.5

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the group will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.6

Operating leases: the group as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.7

Government grants

Grants are accounted for under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.

 
2.8

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method.

 
2.9

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.10

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.11

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. 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 and the Group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.


 
2.12

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

 The estimated useful lives range as follows:

Patents
-
10
years

 
2.13

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

PARGAT HOLDING LIMITED
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.13
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Plant and machinery
-
15%
Reducing balance
Motor vehicles
-
25%
Reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
-
15%
Reducing balance

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 
2.14

Impairment of assets

Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as described below. 
Non-financial assets 
An asset is impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition, the estimated recoverable value of the asset has been reduced. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. 
Where indicators exist for a decrease in impairment loss, the prior impairment loss is tested to determine reversal. An impairment loss is reversed on an individual impaired asset to the extent that the revised recoverable value does not lead to a revised carrying amount higher than the carrying value had no impairment been recognised. 
Financial assets 
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. 
For financial assets carried at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount that would be received for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. 
Where indicators exist for a decrease in impairment loss, and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the prior impairment loss is tested to determine reversal. An impairment loss is reversed on an individual impaired financial asset to the extent that the revised recoverable value does not lead to a revised carrying amount higher than the carrying value had no impairment been recognised

 
2.15

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

PARGAT HOLDING LIMITED
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.16

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a weighted average basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 
2.17

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. 

 
2.18

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. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

 
2.19

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.

 
2.20

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
 
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.21

Financial instruments

The group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

The group has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Balance Sheet when the group 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 debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

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

Impairment of financial assets

At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. 

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.

Basic financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans, other loans and loans

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.21
Financial instruments (continued)

due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, 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 creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors 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.

Derecognition of financial instruments

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the group transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the group will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

 
2.22

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
(i)            Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 15 for the carrying amount of property plant and equipment and the depreciation accounting policy note above for the useful economic lives for each class of asset.
(ii)            Finished goods inventory valuation
The group uses an estimated gross profit margin in order to value the cost of finished goods inventory. The gross profit margin is amended when necessary to reflect any changes in the market conditions.
