STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

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

Business review
 
The key financial highlights are as follows:

                                 
FY24          FY23          FY22          FY21
Turnover (£'000)
     14,810       12,279        9,377          7,344

The company has experienced a trend of growth which has continued in FY25. The main drivers of this have been growth in new customers, geographical reach and mix of sales. Gross margin has also been increased due to proactive pricing and close monitoring of margins, which has been challenging with a backdrop of fluctuating exchange rates, rising shipping costs and latterly, increased international tariffs.

Careful budgetary control has helped to minimise overhead increases, albeit salary costs have risen in line with inflation and also due to the need to remain a competitive employer and to retain key talent.

Liquidity levels were satisfactory at the year end, albeit this is just one point in time and the company must carefully manage its working capital requirements in respect of customer and supplier credit terms and the impact of shifting exchange rates.

The directors are pleased with the financial outturn for FY24, which they feel puts the company in a position of strength for continued future growth.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The directors are aware of the inherent risk of customer retention and external competition and strive to offer outstanding customer service to hep mitigate the risk of stagnant or falling sales.

Cashflow management is considered a key risk area, due to the aforementioned impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, supplier and customer credit terms and import and export tariffs and taxes. The directors address this risk by maintaining surplus cash within the company as a contingency for identified risks.

The company has a modest, long standing workforce and whilst retention rates are high, there is a risk of reliance on key employees in pivotal roles. The directors recognise this and are working to expand and diversify the core management team.

Price risk

The company is not exposed to significant commodity price risk as a result of its operations.

Credit Risk

The company's financial assets are cash and trade debtors. The company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debtors which are presented in the balance sheet net of allowances for doubtful debts. The company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made.

Liquidity and Cash flow risk
The Company’s liquidity and cash flow risk are considered low. The only borrowings are non-material hire purchase liabilities, which are managed within the Company’s cash flow forecasts. The Board regularly monitors cash balances, working capital, and cash flow projections to ensure that obligations can be met as they fall due.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Financial instruments
 
The company’s principal financial instruments are cash at bank, trade debtors and creditors and finance/stocking arrangements. The main purpose of these instruments is to finance the company’s working capital and sales growth. 

Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by setting policies in respect of credit terms offered to customers, with careful monitoring of amounts outstanding. Trade creditor liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to settle outstanding amounts.

The company is exposed to exchange rate risks as it imports and exports goods. The company manages such risks by holding liquid funds in foreign currencies, using forward exchange contracts where relevant and setting specific contractual terms with customers.

Future developments

Looking ahead, the Company will focus on enhancing operational effectiveness and maintaining strong relationships with customers and suppliers to support sustainable growth. At the same time, it will continue to exercise financial discipline and prudent capital management, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently, investments are targeted to support strategic objectives, and long-term value is maximised for stakeholders.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EURO EQUIPMENT LIMITED
 

Qualified Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Euro Equipment Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Chanes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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, except for the possible effects of the matters described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, 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 qualified opinion


As set out in the other matters below, the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 were unaudited. We were not appointed as auditor of the company until after 31 December 2023 and thus did not observe the counting of physical inventories at the end of that year. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at 31 December 2023, by using other audit procedures. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount at 31 December 2023 was necessary or whether there was any consequential effect on the cost of sales for the year ended 31 December 2024.

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 Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 qualified 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 ReportOur 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.

As described in the Basis for qualified opinion section of our report, we were unable to satisfy ourselves concerning the inventory quantities held at 31 December 2023 and the potential impact on these balances on the current years profit and loss account.


We have nothing to report in this regard.


Opinion 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 the light of the 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

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 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'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.


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:
- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual, potential or suspected litigation, claims, non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations and fraud.
 - Review of legal and professional fees for evidence of legal work undertaken or fines/penalties incurred.
- Enquiry of entity staff in compliance functions and external advisors to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
- Reviewing of financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Performing audit work over the risk of management override, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness; 
- evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business; and - An assessment of the methodologies used in order to calculate the estimate/provision at the year end for evidence of bias. 
- The accounting policy was checked to the financial reporting standards where necessary and confirmed to be appropriate; 
- Reviewing accounting estimates for bias; 
- Discussions amongst the engagement team in relation to how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud; 
- Discussions with management over any potential or suspected fraud. 
- Performing audit work over the recognition of revenue on dispatch of goods occurring at the year end to provide assurance over cut-off; 
- Performing substantive tests of detail over the completeness/existence of income within the financial system; 
- Performing audit work on the design and implementation of key controls around the recording of income.


Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.


General information

Euro Equipment Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered office address is:

Phoenix Way
Garngoch Industrial Estate
Gorseinon
Swansea
SA4 9WF

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

Monetary amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest one Pound Sterling.


2.


Statement of Compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.

3.Accounting policies

 
3.1

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 FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
3.2

Going concern

The company has traded profitably in the year and has increased its net assets from the previous year. However, since the balance sheet date and in common with most businesses, costs in most areas of the business have increased significantly.

Current economic forecasts have shown increased uncertainties in relation to both demand and cost inflation and this presents a risk to future results. However, the company's financial reporting systems enable the directors to closely monitor performance and to respond quickly to changes in demand and costs, so reducing future financial risks.

The directors have reviewed future cash flows on alternative scenarios and consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting.

  
3.3

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

3.Accounting policies (continued)

 
3.4

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 first in, first out 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 profit or loss.

  
3.5

Turnover

Turnover is the amount derived from ordinary activities and stated after trade discounts, other sales taxes and net of VAT. Revenue is recognised on the despatch of goods to customers.

  
3.6

Tangible fixed assets

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

Land and buildings  - Land over life of lease
Plant and machinery etc - 25% on reducing balance, 20% on reducing balance and 15% on        reducing balance

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

3.Accounting policies (continued)

  
3.7

Capitalisation of demonstration equipment

1. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish consistent criteria for recognising, measuring, depreciating and monitoring demonstration equipment used for sales, marketing, training and evaluation activities.

2. Scope
This policy applies to all demonstration equipment purchased for use in product demonstrations, customer trials, exhibitions, internal training, or similar purposes.

3. Definition of Demonstration Equipment
Demonstration equipment refers to tangible items held for the purpose of:
• Displaying product features and capabilities to customers
• Conducting trials, pilots, or evaluations
• Supporting trade shows, marketing events, or sales presentations
• Internal training or testing not related to production

4. Capitalisation Criteria
Demonstration equipment must be capitalised as a fixed asset when all of the following conditions are met:
1. Control: The organisation owns or controls the equipment.
2. Future Economic Benefit: Use of the equipment is expected to support revenue generation or
             business development over a period exceeding 12 months.
3. Cost Measurement: Cost can be reliably measured (e.g., purchase price, transport,
             installation).
4. Use in Operations: The equipment is intended for ongoing demo use rather than immediate
             resale or one-off events.

Equipment not meeting these criteria must be expensed.

5. Measurement at Initial Recognition
Capitalised demonstration equipment is recognised at cost, including:
• Purchase price & Freight

6. Depreciation
Demonstration equipment is not depreciated.

7. Impairment
Demonstration equipment must be reviewed periodically for indicators of impairment, including:
• Physical damage or excessive wear
• Discontinuation of the related product line
• Reduced expected utilisation

If impaired, the asset must be written down to its recoverable amount.

8. Reclassification and Disposal
• If demonstration equipment is refurbished and transferred for resale, its carrying amount must be
  reclassified to inventory.
• When the equipment is scrapped, donated, or sold, it must be removed from the asset register and
   any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
• Proceeds from disposal reduce the carrying amount of the asset.

9. Monitoring and Control

EURO EQUIPMENT LIMITED
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

3.Accounting policies (continued)

All demonstration equipment must be reviewed at least annually for physical existence, condition, and ongoing usefulness

10. Financial Statement Presentation
Capitalised demonstration equipment is presented within Plant & Machinery.

  
3.8

Current taxation

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

  
3.9

Deferred taxation

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.

  
3.10

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.

  
3.11

Pension costs and otherpost-retirement benefits

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

3.Accounting policies (continued)

 
3.12

Financial instruments

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price 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.

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.

  
3.13

Significant judgements and estimates

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors which are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only effects that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the critical judgements that the directors have made in the process of applying the company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Impairment of assets
Assets 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 income statement.

Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation as a result of a past event and a reliable estimate can be made of a probable adverse outcome. Otherwise, material contingent liabilities are disclosed unless a transfer of economic benefits is considered remote. Contingent assets are only disclosed if an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
