Strategic Report for the Year Ended 30 April 2025

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2025.

Principal activity

The principal activity of the group is of the provision of mailing solutions.

Fair review of the business

The results of the year and the financial position of the group are shown in the annexed financial statements.

Central Mailing Services have carried on investing time and resource into technology and automation. We have expended our internal Development team and see a lot of progress with inhouse software to improve processes within the business. The investment in technology is ensuring that CMS remains at the cutting edge of the Print and Mail sector. The work is a long-term project; we have however already achieved a lot within the last 12 months. The result will enable us to become a leaner organisation and vastly more efficient. The market has continued to be challenging; however, casualties have resulted in further opportunities for us; whilst unprofitable businesses have failed to survive along with other businesses running out of cash. Adding value and providing the best service has also set us apart. We are well under way now with our journey towards full environmental sustainability whilst reducing our carbon footprint and working towards net zero.

Travel and retail have continued to be growth markets for us. The continued investment has seen significant growth in production and growth of output over the last fiscal year.

Paper wrapping is still our main service with all 5 lines in constant use. However, we have been surprised by the continuing high demand for polythene and envelope work, justifying the Board’s commitment to retain all these services in house.

Staff wise we have some challenges with staff retention and finding skilled labour locally once again remains an ongoing issue. However, we have invested in the Apprentice Scheme and trained / upskilled new employees from scratch and we will continue this.

We are still working to improve efficiency and procurement. We have had a strong trading year, despite a tough market, our experienced sales team have driven the growth and met projections for our financial year.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The group is exposed to risks and uncertainties which could impact its financial performance. The Directors apply their considerable experience and skills in the trade to balance risk against business opportunities. The government decisions have made business challenging for all sectors; this has resulted in survival of the fittest. Our strong balance sheet, experience and talent have resulted in the business being able to ride the storm.

Impact of Brexit related risks

The group uses KPI’s to monitor and measure performance. These include monitoring of sales, EBITDA and profit before tax as well as more detailed KPI’s such as sales margins and service standard.

Turnover for the year has increased by 6.99% from £17.06M to £18.25M which generated an operating profit of £582k compared to £230k last year.

MC Corp Limited

Statement of 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 group and the company and of the profit or loss of the group 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 UK 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 group's and the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and 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 group and the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

 

MC Corp Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of MC Corp Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of MC Corp Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 April 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, 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 group's and the parent company's affairs as at 30 April 2025 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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group 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 director's 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 original financial statements were 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

 

MC Corp Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of MC Corp Limited

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 and the Directors' Report.

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

adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

the parent company 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 4], 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.

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

 

MC Corp Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of MC Corp Limited

We identify and assess risks of material mistatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud and error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In identifying and assessing risks of material mistatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following;

- the nature of the industry, control environment and business performance;
- results of our enquiries of management about their own idenficiation and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
- any matters we have identified having reviewed the company's procedures for complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Companie Act 2006.

As a result of these procedures we considered the opportunities that may exist within the organisation for fraud resulting in material misstatement in the financial statements. We considered that any mitgated by the fact that the company is under the close control of its directors.
Our procedure to arrive at this conclusion included the following:

- reviewing balance sheet control accounts to ensure properly reconciled;
- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
- enquiring with management concerning actual and potential litigation claims.

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.

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 Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2025

1

General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in United Kingdom.

The address of its registered office is:
Units 59-60 Gravelly Industrial Park
Tyburn Road
Birmingham
B24 8TQ
England

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board on 10 December 2025.

Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results in the future could differ from those estimates.
In this regard, the directors believe that there are no critical accounting policies where judgements or estimations are necessarily applied in the financial statements.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006'.

Basis of preparation

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" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of MC Corp Limited and its subsidiary undertaking, Central Mailing Services Limited. The results of the subsidiary undertaking are included from the date of acquisition and have been accounted for under the acquisition method.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the goods are delivered to the customer.

Government grants

Grants have been received as compensation for costs already incurred or for immediate financial support, with no future related costs, these have been recognised as income in the period it was received.

 

MC Corp Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2025

Tax

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

Tangible assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Improvements to property - 20% on cost
Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

Goodwill

Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2014, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Stocks

Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition.

 

MC Corp Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2025

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the
lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Financial instruments

Classification

The company 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 when the company 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.

 Impairment
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of
impairment at each reporting end date.
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that
occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. 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.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was
recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed
what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The
impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
