The director presents the strategic report for the period ended 30 June 2025.
The company ceased trading in May 2022 when the trade and assets were transferred to Essilor Limited, part of EssilorLuxottica S.A. who is the ultimate controlling party.
The directors review and evaluate the risks that the company is facing. Due to the company no longer trading the commercial risks are minimal. The principal risks facing the Company are legislative risks.
It is the intention to strike off the dormant entity of EMNUK Limited in 2026.
The company sits within a group of entities with similar risks. As such, any risks that would impact the company are considered as part of a risk environment within the wider group.
The financial statements are not prepared on the going concern basis, as the company has ceased trading.
On behalf of the board
The director presents his annual report and financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2025.
The results for the period are set out on page 7.
No ordinary dividends were paid. The director does not recommend payment of a final dividend.
The director who held office during the period and up to the date of signature of the financial statements was as follows:
In accordance with the company's articles, a resolution proposing that UHY Hacker Young be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put at a General Meeting.
The director is responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
United Kingdom company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then 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 director is 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. He is 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.
We have audited the financial statements of EMNUK Limited (the 'company') for the period ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including 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 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Basis for opinion
Conclusions relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements which explains that the company transferred all trade and assets in the 2022 year end. Therefore, the financial statements have not been prepared under the going concern basis.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director 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 director is 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
the information given in the director's report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the director's report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the company and the industry in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance related to the acts of the Company, including fraud, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. 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 inflated revenue and reducing losses.
Audit procedures performed included, but were not limited to:
· making enquiries of management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
· assessment of fraud prevention and detection procedures within the company;
· evaluating whether journals posted gave indications of bias by the Directors;
· making enquiry of management regarding actual and potential litigation and claims, or any potential
breaches of laws and regulations.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. In addition the further removed noncompliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements; the less likely we would 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: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
