http://www.nilorn.com/sustainability/sustainability-report. |
|
A MARKET WITH OPPORTUNITIES |
The global as well as the European market for branding and design is growing. Brand name owners are increasing their investment actions that will help strengthen their brands where labels, packaging and accessories are important elements. |
|
Low price brands as well as premium brands are investing ever more resources into differentiation.

Nilörn chiefly co-operates with high demanding clients helping develop concepts that strengthen their brands. Through close co-operation with its customer, Nilörn understands which factors each customer's brand requires in the marketplace. Based upon this Nilörn develops concepts that contribute to differentiating and strengthening the customer companies most important asset, their brands. This creates value both for Nilörn's customers, the brand owners and for their customers, the end consumers. |
|
FUTURE PLANS |
We will continue to invest in our business as needs must, but we are mindful that we live in a new economic landscape with much uncertainty so we will adjust our plans accordingly. |

Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2021 |
|
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The labelling industry remains highly competitive and the company is subject to common industry risks and challenges which in recent years have been exacerbated by the poor economic climate. Given the continuing political and economic uncertainties the director's consider this challenging environment will continue in the coming year. |
|
In order to remain competitive the company and the group continue to invest in design, logistic solution and the contribution of belonging to an international group. |
|
The company's business is also affected by fluctuations in the prices of raw material and currencies. The directors seek to mitigate the effect of such price fluctuations via purchasing and stockholding policies and practices. |
|
The company has a wide and varied customer base, but also a few major customers. As a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully, depending on the development in the retail market overall and of the development of the major clients. |
|
As we move into the post-pandemic phase the impact COVID-19 has had on all our everyday working lives and the retail landscape of our principal clients will hopefully diminish, and we do see light at the end of the tunnel. These impacts are mitigated somewhat for Nilörn UK by being part of an internationally diverse and successful Group, with the resources to sustain any long or unusual periods of disruption. |

DIRECTORS |

|
|
|
|
|
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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information, being information needed by the auditors in connection with preparing their report, of which the auditors are unaware. Having made enquiries of fellow directors and the company's auditors, each director has taken all the steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to make himself/herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. |

|
|
|
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Nilorn UK Limited |
|
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Nilorn UK Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, 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 company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 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 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 Auditors' 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 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 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors 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 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 the audit: |
- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Nilorn UK Limited |
|
|
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 Report of the Directors. |
|
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. |
|
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, 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 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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Nilorn UK Limited |
|
|
Auditors' 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 a Report of the Auditors 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: |
|
The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud |
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: |
- |
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence,
capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
- |
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with the Directors and
other informed management which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company and thereafter, the audit team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
|
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: |
- |
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge
of actual, suspected and alleged fraud and; |
- |
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations; |
- |
in assessing the effectiveness of the control environment, we also reviewed significant correspondence between
the company and UK regulatory bodies, reviewed minutes of meetings and gained an understanding of the company's approach to governance. |
|
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
- | performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
- | tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
- |
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of
potential bias; and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
|
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
- | agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
- |
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims and reviewing correspondence with
HMRC and the company's legal advisors. |
|
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. |
|
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. |
|
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. |

The functional and presentation currency for the company is the pound sterling (£). All financial information presented has been rounded to the nearest (£), unless otherwise stated. |
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Nilorn UK Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 401 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertakings are included in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, Nilongruppen AB, a company registered in Sweden. These consolidated financial statements can be found at: |
https://www.nilorn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Annual-Report-2021.pdf |
|
Significant judgements and estimates |
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. Estimates and Judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include: |
|
(i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets |
The annual amortisation and depreciation charges for intangible and tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. |
|
(ii) Stock provisions |
When calculating the stock provisions, management considers the nature and condition of the stock, as well as applying assumptions around anticipated saleability. |
|
(iii) Impairment of debtors |
The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. |
|
Revenue recognition |
Revenue is recognised to the extent that the company obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, after discounts, rebates, exclusive of VAT and other sales taxes or duty. |

|
Financial instruments |
The company has chosen to adopt the Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
|
Financial assets |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised 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. |
|
The company has no 'Other financial assets'. |
|
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cashflow from the asset expire or are settled or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. |
|
Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and hire purchase contracts, 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
|
The company has no 'Other financial liabilities'. |
|
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. |
|
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
Deferred tax |
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. |
|
Foreign currencies |
Transactions denominated in foreign currency are translated into sterling at the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are dealt with through the profit and loss account and are separately disclosed if material. |
|
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 scheme |
The company operates a work place pension scheme for its employees with contributions payable to the schemes being charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate. |
|
