STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The directors present their strategic report on the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The strategic report is consistent with the size and non complex nature of the business and is written in the context of the risks and uncertainties the Company faces. The principal activity of the Company continues to be that of manufacturing, supplying and distributing life safety control systems. The Company develops and manufactures high quality and reliable life safety related control systems for commercial and industrial applications which are sold through professional system integrators and specialist distribution channels. The Company has developed manufacturing and support systems which allow greatly reduced lead times to customers compared with the industry norm yet maintaining the businesses ability to provide bespoke and OEM products to major users. To remain competitive, the directors have planned to expand business with wireless solutions and system sales approach. Under Covid-19 crisis, the company has had a challenging year with turnover decreasing to £17,547,305 (2019: £20,045,433 ) 12.5% down compared to 2019, although 2020 started well and on target until mid-March when Covid-19 stared impacting global economy. The UK market has struggled with constant lockdown measures but saw a gradual recovery. An increased demand in extinguishant products required by new hospitals and data centre had helped business to sustain under these difficult times. Export sales have also declined as a whole, however growth has been individually achieved through Africa and Rest of the World regions with local BDMs contributed to the great success. Group sales had never recovered since March whilst Latitude sales have grown as well as Taktis benefitted from a strong focus. The company has seen Gross Profit Margins reduced to 30.4% in 2020 from 32.9% in 2019. The deterioration of the profitability is simply attributable to reduced volume of production caused by ongoing business contraction under the crisis. Labour costs, which continue to face pressure by an increase in the national minimum wage, have been managed well under flexible resource allocation combined with usage of Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Overheads came under significant pressure from new lease agreements signed for a warehouse and stores, which was expected to increase productivity and efficiencies with increased sales. Our sales price review and cost savings programme had helped to maintain profit margins and we believe that new business initiatives with wireless/wired device sales as a system sales provider to KIP partners will help us shift to further lucrative business model in the near future. The company has made significant savings in administrative expenses in 2020 with Travel and Advertisement costs materially reduced due to travel banns and cancelled exhibitions under the crisis. Salaries have also seen a significant reduction with minimum heads. Despite economic uncertainty, the company strategically continued to invest in Research and Development to support a whole group business and spent £1.9m higher than £1.8m for 2019. The savings in administrative expenses were not enough to recover the decline in turnover reducing Gross Profit. As a result, the operating profit margin has been significantly reduced from 6.72% in 2019 to 3.1% in 2020. Directors believe this will recover in 2021 along with new business launch. The grant income from the UK Government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme has been included in Other income. The company had made a flexible use of the scheme during the year to protect cashflow. The company’s financial position continues to remain healthy with major capital expenditure on hold and tight cost control throughout the year. Liquidity has decreased principally due to decreases in cash for dividend payment and receivables from reduced sales, whilst solvency has improved with profits for the year and strict control of expenditures. Stock turnover has increased in response to uncertainties from Brexit and Covid-19 to avoid potential short term delays in receiving components and cost ups, and increased WIP to create efficiencies. The company’s aged debt profile remained normal but collection days slightly increased due to Brexit causing disruption increased charges and time. The directors believe that this was a shot-term effect and will be resolved shortly after customers become familiar with new trade rules and arrangements.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Principal risks and uncertainties
The directors, who are responsible for internal control systems which identify and manage various risks that pose a threat to achieving the Company's objectives, have identified the principal risks as follows:
−
The current general economic and political environment in the world. There is uncertainty around any new trade agreements that will be entered into by the UK and how this will impact on the Company’s export trade. The Company is continually monitoring political environment and its impact on the economic climate so that it can react to any fundamental changes.
−
The current economic environment in the world under Covid-19 pandemic. There is uncertainty around when the economy will return to its pre-pandemic peak. During the pandemic Management team have been doing all they can to keep staff safe and business running solidly. The Company is continuously monitoring the environment to minimise its impact on the Company’s business.
−
There is uncertainty about the regulatory framework that the Company currently operates within. Changes in the political environment may possibly lead to revisions to the current European and US fire regulations. The company feels that it is well placed to adapt to any changes in regulations as significant investment has been made to create a larger Research and Development (R&D) department.
−
The Company is exposed to the counterparty solvency risks impacting its customers, subcontractors and other suppliers.
−
The Company continues to face pressure to recruit, train and retain highly skilled and motivated members of staff. The Company will continue to review its Human Resources policies in 2021 to further mitigate this risk.
−
The Company is at risk from foreign currency fluctuations particularly between USD and GBP. The majority of the exposure is managed by natural hedging and will continue to exist within 2021. Any surplus of USD cash is kept to a minimum to reduce exposure.
−
Compliance with Health, Safety and Environmental matters is fundamental to the Company’s reputation, existence and the safety of its employees, subcontractors and the general public at large. It is therefore paramount that the Company maintains and stays abreast of current legislation as well as best practice within this area. The company strengthened its compliance team in the prior year to ensure it continues to prioritise these three key areas as well as quality assurance.
−
The Company has become increasingly reliant on Information Technology (IT) and our ERP system is central to the business. The Company will continue to upgrade its IT infrastructure within 2021 as part of a disaster recovery overhaul to mitigate against business interruption. As part of this upgrade the Company is also prioritising network security to ensure it can tackle the increasing rise of Cyber security threats. The Company is also sufficiently insured to cover any business interruption.
−
The Company operates within a highly regulated and technical industry. There is an ongoing threat from competition in terms of pricing, product innovations and service which may lead to a loss in market share to competitors. The company is investing heavily in R&D to ensure that it is at the forefront of product innovations. By maintaining a technical support department, the Company can deal directly with product issues but also maintain communication with our customers so that we can understand the market needs and be best placed to react to the changes.
The directors themselves and through delegated management, periodically review the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control systems to ensure that the principal risks faced by the businesses are adequately managed and controlled.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the Company in the year under review was that of manufacturing, supplying and distributing life safety control systems.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £
485,121
(2019 -
£
1,158,864
)
.
The results for the year and financial position of the Company are as shown in the annexed financial statements.
The Company reduced its sales for 2020 but managed to protect business as sustainable. With constant lockdown measures, the company struggled particularly with sales growth for Taktis/Latitude, which should be supported by on-site trainings under loyalty partner programme but saw a reasonable growth in the strategic products for the year and benefitted from high demand in extinguishant products. In 2021, Taktis/Latitude will be confidently positioned as a core product to System sales approach driven by Group business strategy. New business includes wireless/wired device sales, which will increase sales to KIP partners and fill in the gap of the product portfolio, as well as improve profitability. The sales made by the Company vary from small customers in the UK to large organisations both within the UK and the regions outside the UK. In line with this, the sales in the accounts have been split geographically as follows – in the UK, Europe and Rest of the World. An interim dividend of £581,000 was voted for during the year.
The Company’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, its financial position, financial risks management objectives and its exposure to foreign currency, price, credit and liquidity risk are described in the Strategic Report on page 1.
The Company has adequate financial resource through support from its ultimate parent undertaking, Hochiki Corporation together with long term contacts with a number of customers and suppliers across different geographic areas and industries. As a consequence, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that they have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The management of Hochiki Group in Japan is expecting growth from expansion in overseas business. Therefore, the Japanese management has set a higher target for 2021. Accordingly, it is felt appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 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 for the company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

make judgments 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KENTEC ELECTRONICS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Kentec Electronics Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2020, which comprise the Statement of income and retained earnings, the Statement of financial position
and the related notes, 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 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 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 opinion.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KENTEC ELECTRONICS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KENTEC ELECTRONICS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Auditors' 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:
We obtained a general understanding of the Company’s legal and regulatory framework through enquiry of management concerning: their understanding of relevant laws and regulations; the entity’s policies and procedures regarding compliance; and how they identify, evaluate and account for litigation claims. We also drew on our existing understanding of the company’s industry and regulation.
We understand that the Company complies with the framework through having in place robust procedures and policies that are develop with and monitored by the parent company and the wider group, and by outsourcing and taking external professional legal, tax and accounting advice on relevant specialist functions and areas including the preparation of financial statements and corporate tax compliance.
In the context of the audit, we considered those laws and regulations: which determine the form and content of the financial statements; which are central to the Company’s ability to conduct its business; and where failure to comply could result in material penalties. We identified the following laws and regulations as being of significance in the context of the Company:
∙
The Companies Act 2006, FRS 102, UK corporate tax laws.
The senior statutory auditor led a discussion with all members of the engagement team regarding the susceptibility of the entity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. The areas identified in this discussion were:
∙
Debtor recoverability arising from overstating the debtors balance and not impairing for debtors that cannot/do not pay post yearend;
∙
Manipulation or error in revenue recognition leading to overstatement of revenue (and debtors) to inflate the results, and reversing these following the yearend close;
∙Manipulation or error in setting standard costs leading to over- or under-valuation of stock, resulting in profits being recognised either later or earlier (respectively) than appropriate;
Page 9

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KENTEC ELECTRONICS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
∙
Manipulation or error in raising accruals and provisions for costs incurred but not invoiced before the balance sheet date that often entail a significant degree of judgment;
The procedures we carried out to gain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in the above areas included:
∙
Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud and error;
∙
Understanding the potential for override of these controls on the financial reporting process, and how those charged with governance address these override potentials.
∙
Performing tests of controls and substantive testing on appropriate samples, and investigating any discrepancies identified;
∙
Documenting the assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates and challenging these with management;
∙
Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular those around yearend, and involving unusual postings, account combinations, or amounts;
Overall, the senior statutory auditor was satisfied that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise irregularities. In particular, both the senior statutory auditor and the audit manager have a number of years’ experience in dealing with similar manufacturing companies, and prepare accounts under FRS 102.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at:

. This description forms part of our Auditors' 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 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.

Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
At each reporting 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 the statement of income.

Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of financial position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of financial position.

Accounting policies (continued)
If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only. In respect of estimates and assumptions, and judgements made as a result, made by management in preparing these financial statements, the following are considered to have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities presented: Provisions – see Note 21 In respect of other significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Company, the following have the most significant effect on the financial statements: Carrying value of stock – (see Note 2.5) management consider that there is no impairment to stock Recoverability of debtors – (see Note 2.6) management consider that there is no impairment to debtors
