STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
- 1 -
The
Directors present
the strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Cynon Valley Waste Disposal Company Limited ("the company") trades as a Waste Disposal Company. The company conducts business with a number of local authorities (primarily Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (RCTCBC)) including waste disposal and various recycling services.
Fair review of the business
The results for the year ended 31 March 2022 and the preceding financial year are shown in the annexed financial statements.
The external commercial environment is expected to remain competitive throughout the next financial year. This is primarily due to the on-going effect of the UK-wide cost of living crisis impacting energy and fuel prices in particular. This affects the company both directly and also indirectly via increased contractor payments.
During the year, the company’s primary customer (Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council) continued to develop its waste collection and disposal arrangements in order to support one of its Corporate Plan priorities of ‘Places – where people are proud to live, work and play’ through on-going improvement in recycling rates. In line with the Council’s waste collection and disposal arrangements, there was a continuing trend of reductions in landfill tonnage and an increase in recycling centre input tonnages during 2021/22.
Future Developments
The Directors continue to monitor and respond to regulatory changes and proactively keep abreast of future landfill diversion policies emanating from Government.
The potential impact upon landfill and recycling levels resulting from the Waste and Tackling Climate Change strategies of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council will continue to be a challenge in the new financial year.
Whilst the future business operation will continue to change (for example, a further rebalancing of recycling and landfill activities), the Directors are confident that the future business model will support a viable operation. Key priorities and future developments include:
-
The
on-going
management, development and operation of Community Recycling Centres;
-
Further increases in kerbside recycling;
-
Supporting the residual waste disposal arrangements of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and achieving ambitious recycling targets
;
-
Further developing the efficiencies of the managed service contract for the Recycling Centre;
-
Ongoing review of plant and vehicle requirements;
-
Continuing to explore and develop commercial operations
, including opportunities provided by the new technology in the Recycling Centre and commodity markets;
-
On-going research and development of innovative and sustainable waste management solutions;
-
Progressing the development of key projects, for example, an eco-park at Bryn Pica and a Re-Use Shop in Aberdare;
-
Working in collaboration with the shareholder to maximise the positive impact of the Education Centre which will be a key recycling awareness tool for future generations
;and
-
Supporting the delivery of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council’s Tackling Climate Change Strategy 2022-25.

Principal risks and uncertainties
The management of the business and the execution of the company’s business plan are subject to a number of key business risks as outlined in the table below:
|
|
|
|
The sector in which the company operates is subject to strong competition. The impact could impact on profitability margins going forward.
|
The company, in collaboration with its shareholder continues to invest heavily in its range of services and asset base. This, in conjunction with a focus on customer service, results in a high level of repeat business.
|
|
The business could be impacted by the loss of key individuals.
|
The business continuously engages staff through regular opportunities to give feedback and influence future business developments and training and progression opportunities.
|
Compliance with laws and regulations
|
Non-compliance may result in financial penalties, a negative impact on the company’s ability to operate effectively and reputational damage especially given the type of sector the business operates in.
|
A robust regulatory framework ensures compliance with Natural Resources Wales and other relevant requirements. Both employees and contractors receive comprehensive training and guidance.
|
Business risks are reviewed regularly by the directors and appropriate processes are put in place to monitor and mitigate any potential impact.
Key performance indicators
The company’s key performance indicators (KPI’s) are summarised below:

Other performance indicators
The company’s operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include the effects of price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and interest rate cash flow risk. The Company has in place an informal risk management programme that seeks to limit the adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. Given the Company’s size, the directors have not delegated the responsibility for monitoring financial risk management to a sub-committee of the board. The policies set by the board of directors are implemented by the Company’s finance department.
Price risk
The company is exposed to commodity price risk, predominantly arising from volatility in the market price available for the sale and disposal of recycled commodities. The company attempts to mitigate this risk by putting in place appropriate contractual and partnering arrangements. The company has no exposure to equity securities price risk as it does not hold any listed or other equity instruments
Credit risk
The Company’s financial assets are cash and trade debtors. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debtors which are presented in the balance sheet net of allowances for doubtful debts. The board of directors continuously and rigorously review outstanding debts on a monthly basis with appropriate actions being taken to minimise the exposure.
Liquidity and interest rate risk
The company proactively monitors and manages its liquidity at Board level with debt/credit being regularly reviewed. The Company has cash reserves to fund its operations.
Interest rate cash flow risk
Interest bearing assets comprise cash balances which are not invested in long term instruments but retained as funds available for investment. Accordingly, the company has limited interest rate exposure.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
- 5 -
The directors are responsible for preparing the annual 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF CYNON VALLEY WASTE DISPOSAL COMPANY LTD

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Cynon Valley Waste Disposal Company Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the profit and loss account, 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 FRS 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 March 2022 and of its loss 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.
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
Auditor's
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.
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are 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 strategic report and the directors'
r
eport 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.

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 identifie
d
material misstatements in the strategic report and the directors'
r
eport
.
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
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 directors'
r
esponsibilities
s
tatement, 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.
Auditor's 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 an
auditor's
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
.
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.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council’s website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company through enquiry and inspection;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
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 auditor's 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.

Turnover
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business
Turnover includes landfill tax but is shown net of value added tax, rebates and similar allowances. This principle applies to:
-
Landfill - when waste crosses the weighbridge and is tipped

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets
are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Land & Buildings
Straight line over 10-30 years
Leasehold land and buildings
Over the term of the lease
Site infrastructure
Straight line over 10 years
Recycling centre
Straight line over 10 years
Fixtures and Fittings
Tonnage capacity percentage utilised
Landfill Phases
Straight line over 5-10 years
Fixture and fittings
Straight line over 5 years
Computer Equipment
Straight line over 3 years
Motor Vehicles
Straight line over 4 years
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and
is credited or charged to profit or loss
.
Derecognition
Tangible assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the Income Statement.
Landfill phases are eliminated from fixed assets during the year in which they are decommissioned.
Assets under construction
Assets under construction are carried at cost and are not depreciated until they are brought into use.
1.5
Fixed asset investments
Interests in subsidiaries
are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date
and
any
impairment
losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in
profit
or
loss
.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company
. Control is
the power to govern the financial and operating policies of
the
entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

1.6
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting
period
end date, the
company
reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the
company
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in
profit
or
loss
, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit)
in
prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in
profit
or
loss
, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
1.7
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents
are basic financial assets
and
include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.8
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset
, with
the net amounts presented in the financial statements
,
when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include
debtors
and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest
method 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.
Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in
profit
or
loss
, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those
held
at
fair value through profit and loss
, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected.
If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when
the company
transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including
creditors
, bank loans, loans from
fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, 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
paymen
ts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective
interest rate method.
Trade creditors
are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired
in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. A
m
ounts payable are classified as
current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented
as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors
are recognised initially at transaction price
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Other financial liabilities
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts,
are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are
s
ubsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in
profit
or
loss
in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as
being measured at
fair value th
r
ough profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations
expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.9
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
1.10
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the
profit and loss account
because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The
company’s
liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the
profit and loss account
, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the
company
has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
1.11
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the
company
has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the
company
will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision i
s
measured at present value
,
the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in
profit
or
loss
in the period
in which
it arises.
1.12
Employee benefits
The company provides a range of benefits to employees, including paid holiday arrangements and defined benefit pension plans.
Short term benefits, including holiday pay and other similar non-monetary benefits, are recognised in the period in which the service is received.

1.13
Retirement benefits
The company operates a defined benefit plan for its employees. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. Obligations are measured at discounted present value whilst plan assets are recorded at fair value. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the net of the plan obligations and assets. No allowance is made in the past service liability in respect of either the future expenses of running the scheme or for non-service related death in service benefits which may arise in the future. The operating costs of the plans are charged to operating profit as part of the management charge payable to Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and the finance costs are recognised as financial income or expense as appropriate. Service costs are spread systematically over the lives of employees and financing costs are recognised in the periods in which they arise. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately directly to equity.
1.14
Leases
Incentives received to enter into a finance lease reduce the fair value of the asset and are included in the calculation of the present value of minimum lease payments.
Incentives received to enter into an operating lease are credited to the Income Statement, to reduce the lease expenses, on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption in respect of lease incentives on leases in existence as at the date of transition to FRS 102 (1 April 2014) and continues to credit such lease incentives to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease.
1.15
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset receive
d
or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.
A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met
. Where a
grant does not specify performance conditions
it
is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable
. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.
1.16
Dividends to equity shareholders
Dividends and other distributions to the company’s shareholder are recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends and other distributions are approved by the company’s shareholders. These amounts are recognised in the statements of changes in equity.
1.17
The company classifies certain one-off charges or credits that have a material impact on the company’s financial results as ‘exceptional items’. These are disclosed separately in the notes to provide further understanding of the financial position and the financial performance of the company.

1.18
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each balance sheet date non-financial assets not carried at fair value are assessed to determine whether there is an indication that the asset (or the asset’s cash generating unit) may be impaired. If there is such an indication, the recoverable amount of the asset’s (or the asset’s cash generating unit) is compared to the carrying amount (or the asset’s cash generating unit).
The recoverable amount for the asset (or the asset’s cash generating unit) is the higher of the fair value of the future cash flows before interest and tax obtainable as a result of the asset’s (or the asset’s cash generating unit) continued use. These cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that represents the current market risk-free rate and the risks inherent in the asset.
If the recoverable amount of the asset (or the asset’s cash generating unit) is estimated to be lower than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount.
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset (or the asset’s cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the revised carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods. A reversal of an unimpaired loss is recognised in the Income Statement.
1.19
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant
effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic 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. See note 6 for the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment, and above for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.
Impairment of debtors
The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing the 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. See note 9 for the net carrying amount of the debtors and associated impairment provision.
Value of aftercare provision
The company makes an estimate of future costs associated with the closure of the landfill site and the aftercare costs in relation to monitoring the closed site, gas management, maintenance and security costs of the closed site and leachate disposal costs post closure in order to arrive at a valuation for the aftercare provision. See note 14 for the net carrying amount of the aftercare provision.

Defined benefit schemes
The company contributes into the Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council Pension Fund which is part of
the Local Government Pension Scheme (“LGPS”). The LGPS is a funded defined benefit career average scheme for service accrued post 2014, having previously been based on final salary. The change was part of the Government’s attempts to assure the long term affordability of the scheme.
The level of contributions by the company is determined by a qualified actuary (AON Hewitt) on the basis of triennial valuations (in compliance with the Local Government Pension Scheme (Administration) Regulations 2008). The most recent valuation was as at 31 March, 2019. Liabilities have been estimated by the independent qualified actuary on an actuarial basis using the projected unit credit method.
The employer’s regular contributions to the fund for the annual accounting period to 31 March, 202
2
are estimated to be £
237,000
(20
21
: £
265,000
). Additional contributions may also become due in respect of any employer discretions to enhance members’ benefits in the Fund over the next accounting period.
The Board of Directors continue to monitor the risks associated with the pension scheme.
