Hygienik Systems Limited

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

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

Principal activity

The principal activity of the company is as a distributor and installer of hygienic PVC wall cladding and ceiling systems.

Business review

On 14 June 2023, the company was acquired by Palram DPL Limited, a UK company and subsidiary of Palram Industries (1990) Limited, based in Israel. Palram DPL Limited is a manufacturer of PVC sheeting. The directors continue to consider the acquisition to strengthen the company’s market position whilst providing strategic gains and efficiencies.

Turnover of £9.4m is an increase (pro rata basis) from that of the 15 month period ending 31st December 2023 (£10.4m). Due to continued cost pressures, gross margin decreased to 23.4% from 29.3% in 2023. Operating profit was £1.2m in comparison to £1.6m in the 15 month period ending 31st December 2023. Management continued its focus on operational efficiencies and cost control.

On 1st January 2025 Hygienik Systems Limited acquired the trade, assets and liabilities of Amclad Limited, another wholly owned subsidiary.

The management of Hygienik Systems Limited and the wider Palram Group view the company as an integral and strategic part of the Palram Group

Key performance indicators
The Directors consider a range of KPIs to measure the business. The range of KPIs may include, but is not limited to, performance levels, quality, health and safety, and a range of financial measures. The directors believe that because of the nature of the business, disclosing further KPIs is not necessary for an understanding of the company's development, performance or position.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the business can be described broadly as competitive risks and the impact of the economic market.

The company operates in a competitive environment, both in the UK and overseas. The company manages the risk from competitive pressures by providing innovative products and a quality and reliable service.

Raw material shortage and price movement is a potential risk to the business. The directors mitigate this risk by being able to order, stock and maintain larger than normal stock levels. The change of ownership and by now being part of a larger group also mitigates this risk, as the group companies are part of the supply chain.

 

Hygienik Systems Limited

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

Financial risk management

The company's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include credit, liquidity and foreign exchange risk. The company has a risk management programme in place that seeks to limit adverse effects on the financial performance of the business.

Given the size of the company, the Directors have not delegated responsibility for monitoring financial risk to a sub-committee of the board. Instead, the Directors follow the policies set out by the ultimate parent company.

Credit risk - The company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made. The amount of exposure to individual customers is subject to a limit, which is reassessed regularly by management.

Liquidity risk - The company actively maintains a mixture of debt finance that is designed to ensure the company has sufficient available funds for its operations and planned expansions.

Foreign exchange risk - The operations of the company are mainly in the United Kingdom and the Euro zone, and as a result it is primarily exposed to foreign exchange risk with respect to the Euro.

Environment

The company's environmental strategy is reviewed and amended to take account of changing requirements in terms of legislation.

Principal objectives

The Directors continued focus remains the strategies in place in relation to product range, sales market, improve process efficiencies, cost control initiatives and material purchases.

The Directors also closely monitor the UK's relationship with the European Union following the UK's exit from the EU. In particular, management is monitoring the foreign exchange markets, updates in the Single Market Trade agreement with Europe and other political developments.

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

Directors' responsibilities

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities 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 company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

 

Hygienik Systems Limited

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

• they have taken all the steps they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.

Hygienik Systems Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Hygienik Systems Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Hygienik Systems Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its profit for the year then ended;

have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The 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.

 

Hygienik Systems Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Hygienik Systems Limited (continued)

Opinion on other matter 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page 5, 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor 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.

 

Hygienik Systems Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Hygienik Systems Limited (continued)

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:

The company is subject to laws and regulations that directly and indirectly affect the financial statements. Based on our understanding of the company and the environment it operates within, we determined that the laws and regulations which were most significant included FRS 102, Companies Act 2006 and Health and Safety regulations. We considered the extent to which non-compliance with these laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements, including how fraud might occur. We evaluated 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 the posting of inappropriate journal entries to improve the company’s result for the period, and management bias in key accounting estimates.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

Discussions with management and those responsible for legal compliance procedures within the company to obtain an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and how the company complies with that framework, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;

Reviewing minutes of Board meetings;

Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;

Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates;

Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations or posted by senior management.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the more removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

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

 

Hygienik Systems Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Hygienik Systems Limited (continued)

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.

Accounting policies (continued)

Going concern

After making suitable enquires, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and the Palram Group, of which the company is a member, have adequate internal and external funding to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Revenue recognition

The company has early adopted the revised Section 23 of FRS102, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued as part of the Financial Reporting Council's 2024 periodic review. This section introduces a comprehensive five-step model for revenue recognition, aligned with IFRS 15 principles, and is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. Early adoption is permitted and has been applied in full.

Revenue is recognised to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The company applies the following five-step model:


Identify the Contract with a Customer
A contract is an agreement that creates enforceable rights and obligations. Contracts may be written, oral, or implied by customary business practices.

Identify the Performance Obligations
Performance obligations are distinct goods or services promised in the contract. A good or service is distinct if it is separately identifiable and the customer can benefit from it on its own or with other readily available resources.

Determine the Transaction Price
The transaction price is the amount of consideration the company expects to receive, including variable consideration, which is included only if it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices.

Recognise Revenue When (or As) Performance Obligations Are Satisfied
Revenue is recognised when control of the good or service transfers to the customer, either over time or at a point in time, depending on the nature of the performance obligation.

Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current tax and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in Statement of Comprehensive Income, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Accounting policies (continued)

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Office equipment

10 years straight line

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Dividends

Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.

Accounting policies (continued)

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments

Classification
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Where shares are issued, any component that creates a financial liability of the company is presented as a liability in the balance sheet. The corresponding dividends relating to the liability component are charged as interest expense in the statement of comprehensive income.
