Strategic report
for the year ended 31 August 2015
Principal activity
The principal activity of the company in the year continued to be that of a developer and manufacturer of custom rechargeable batteries for professional applications.
Business review
The Directors are pleased to report another successful year for the company. This was a year that saw a high level of activity in new product development, but still yielded a turnover of £8.56 million and operating profit was £737k, a significant improvement on the prior year. Our liquidity remains strong and the company continues to have the appropriate headroom to enable it to move forward into the coming year and continue to execute the strategic growth plans established for Accutronics Limited.
We have made progress in expanding our customer base and expect this to continue in the coming year. We are pleased with the new customer relationships we have forged over the last year and will continue to build ever stronger relationships with existing customers. This continues to strengthen yet further the business and allows us to continue to focus on delivering the latest battery technology to OEMs worldwide in a range of professional markets including Medical and specialist electronics markets.
The continued strong investment in New Product Development and R & D continues to enhance our own ready for market platform, Entellion. This, along with our innovative approach to unique bespoke battery solutions, our focus on quality and our excellent levels of customer service, continue to ensure that we deliver for all our stakeholders.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The company’s operations expose it to a variety of financial risks including, principally, currency risk which it seeks to mitigate where possible.
Currency risk
The company has exposure to currency fluctuations in both the Euro and US Dollar but have appropriate policies and instruments in place to monitor and control this potential exposure.
Financial key performance indicators
The Gross margin for the year is 32.6% (2014- 30.4%) and is deemed appropriate for the business given its required infrastructure and its need to invest in R & D.
Its Operating Profit margin is 8.7% (2014- 4.4%), again acceptable given the R & D investment currently being made.
Other key performance indicators
Headcount, at 75 FTE, remains appropriate given the current order book and requirements.
This report was approved by the board on 11 November 2015 and signed on its behalf.

Directors’ responsibilities statement
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ 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 then apply them consistently; |
• | | make judgments 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; |
• | | 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 and other information included in Directors’ reports may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Results
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £630,643 (2014- £311,974).

Independent auditors’ report to the members of Accutronics Limited
We have audited the financial statements of Accutronics Limited for the year ended 31 August 2015, which comprise the profit and loss account, the balance sheet and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 Auditors’ 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.
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors
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. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial andnon-financial information in the Strategic report and the Directors’ report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.
Opinion on financial statements
In our opinion the financial statements:
• | | give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 31 August 2015 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. |
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
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, 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. |

| 1.1 | Basis of preparation of financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of goods supplied, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts. Turnover is recognised when goods are despatched to customers.
| 1.3 | Tangible fixed assets and depreciation |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
| | | | | | | | |
Leasehold improvements | | - | | | | | | Over the term of the lease |
Plant and machinery | | - | | | 20 | % | | straight line |
Furniture, fittings and equipment | | - | | | 33 | % | | straight line |
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.
| 1.5 | Stocks and work in progress |
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete andslow-moving stocks. Cost includes an appropriate proportion of labour and overheads.
Full provision is made for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from all timing differences between the recognition of gains and losses in the financial statements and recognition in the tax computation.
A net deferred tax asset is recognised only if it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to be effective at the time the timing differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
