| Going forward the Company is looking to continue to expand its client base in its existing areas of operation, increase penetration within existing clients and expand with new services. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| Reputational Risks |
| One of the most significant risks for the company is potential damage to our reputation, which could adversely affect our market position, trust of our colleagues, customers and other stakeholders. This damage can also impact our overall business performance. Reputational risks may stem from regulatory, operational, or financial events. River Mounts Jewellery Limited has implemented internal procedures, approvals, and checks and balances to mitigate these risks, both before taking on new business and throughout the standard transaction process. All our colleagues are well-experienced and take pride in the work they do, upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. |
| People Risks |
| Our workforce is our most valuable asset, essential to the long-term success of our business. To support and motivate our colleagues, our remuneration policy is designed to align compensation with the firm's long-term success. We implement performance-related pay, complemented by measures that ensure fairness and boost motivation among all colleagues. |
| Operational Risks |
| Operational risk refers to the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, colleagues, or systems, or from external causes, whether deliberate, accidental, or natural. This also includes risks from changes in legislation, regulation, or currency. |
| Regulatory Risks |
| Regulatory risk is the risk that the company fails to comply with the increasingly complex regulatory environment in which it operates. River Mounts Jewellery Limited has internal approval processes to mitigate risk before taking on new business and as transactions proceed. The company remains informed about regulatory changes and, with the assistance of its legal advisors, promptly updates its procedures to ensure full compliance. |
| Credit Risks |
| Credit risk represents the possibility that the company could suffer a loss from a counterparty failing to meet its obligations. This risk is managed through robust client account and vetting procedures, as well as by limiting exposure to concentration risk. |
| Liquidity Risks |
| Liquidity risk is the risk that the company is unable to raise sufficient funding to meet its obligations. River Mounts Jewellery Limited maintains a strong balance sheet and surplus cash to protect against the effects of any prolonged market downturn. These risks are closely monitored and controlled through the company's risk framework, day-to-day management, periodic business committee meetings, and quarterly management meetings. |

| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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 then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | 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. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, MCA Audit Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| RIVER MOUNTS JEWELLERY LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of River Mounts Jewellery Limited (the 'company') for the period ended 28t February 2025 which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, Statement of financial position, Statement of changes in equity, Statement of cash flows and Notes to the statement of cash flows, 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). |
| We do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements of the company. Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these financial statements. |
| Basis for disclaimer of opinion |
| We were not appointed as auditors of the Company until after 28th February 2025 and thus did not observe the counting of physical inventories at the beginning of the year. We were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in relation the inventory quantities held and its valuation as at 31 December 2023 which are stated in the statements of financial position. As a result, we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount was necessary or whether there was any consequential effect on the comparative cost of sales recorded in the statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet and the elements making up the statement of changes in equity for the period ended 31 December 2023. |
| 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| RIVER MOUNTS JEWELLERY LIMITED |
| Detection of irregularities, including fraud |
| An audit is designed 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 a Report of the Auditors that includes an 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. As auditors we design procedures 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: |
| In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following: |
| - the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the design of the company's remuneration policies, key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets; |
| - results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities; |
| identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; |
| - detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and |
| - the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| These matters were discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. |
| As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. |
| We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and local tax legislation. |
| Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these financial statements. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we have been unable to form an opinion, whether, 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 |
| Notwithstanding our disclaimer of an opinion on the financial statements, in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, performed subject to the pervasive limitation described above, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report |
| Arising from the limitation of our work referred to above: |
| - we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit. |
| - 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. |
| - the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic report or in preparing the Report of the directors. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| RIVER MOUNTS JEWELLERY LIMITED |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, 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. |
| Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| Our responsibility is to conduct an audit of the company's financial statements in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and to issue an auditor's report. |
| However, because of the matter described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these financial statements. |
| 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. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
| 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |
