Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 May 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 May 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The company's principal activity is the manufacture and wholesaling of mineral water and soft drink products together with hotel management. |
The directors report highly satisfactory growth in turnover driven by sales of Radnor branded products, and again our popular Radnor Splash range has seen particularly good growth. Radnor's products have achieved growth in new retail channels and in the foodservice sector Radnor continues to demonstrate a strong market position. This is largely a result of significant investment to develop and reinforce our branded offering. |
At the year end we were pleased to announce sales of £65.5 million resulting in a net profit of £3.5 million in the financial year ending 31st May 2023. |
The company continued planned capital projects including a major new office development which was completed and moved into in December 2022 providing the required space for our growing administrative departments as well as opportunity for further expansion. |
The company has committed to investing in renewable energies on site and phase 1 of our solar project to install 2 Mw of energy was completed. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Risks which may affect the longer term performance of the Company continue to be assessed by the Directors and mitigated where necessary, enabling Directors to minimise the threat of movements in the economy due to uncontrollable outside forces. |
Constantly rising costs in packaging and ingredients have forced the business to further develop their automation plans, continue to drive efficiencies, and where possible to reformulate in order to mitigate cost increases. |
Staff support, training and development remain key to the business as does careful focused recruitment and the appointment of a Senior Leadership Team continue to strengthen the future of the business and protect the jobs of a loyal and valuable workforce. |
The Company continues to prepare for the Deposit Return Scheme implementation in Scotland due to come into effect from April 2023. |

Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 May 2023 |
SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT |
The directors believe they have effectively implemented their duties under section 172 (1) of the Companies Act 2006. Long term strategy is continuously assessed and amended to deliver long term success to the business and its stakeholders. |
The company continues to demonstrate commitment to maintenance of excellent reputation and high standards. Selection of contractors to deliver best value, reduced carbon footprint and awareness of environmental impact of all work undertaken, continues to be a priority for the business. |
The importance of all the Companies stakeholders, employees, suppliers and customers in delivering the company strategy, maintaining sustainability is recognised by the Directors and they are involved in every decision process. The directors believe that all members of the company are treated fairly. |
ENGAGEMENT WITH EMPLOYEES |
The Company consults with employees on matters which may affect their interests, this is done through one-to-one meetings, group briefings, multi-departmental cascade briefs and employee forums as well as newsletters and reports. Group buy-in of the Company's vision, mission, values, economic factors and performance are vital to the success of the Company. |
ENGAGEMENT WITH SUPPLIERS, CUSTOMERS AND OTHERS |
The company considers it good practice to nurture close communication with major customers and suppliers at all times forging better working relationships, understanding and collaboration and this has resulted in excellent pay back during the early months of the Covid Pandemic. The directors and company pride themselves on customer service levels above and beyond our competitors and believe this is a reason for the continuing strength, longevity and loyalty of customer and supplier relationships. |
Supplier agreement terms are set prior to orders being placed, suppliers are vetted and audited and chosen for their ethics, quality and sustainability. Supplier payments are made in accordance with agreed terms, promptly and on time. |

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
The directors have chosen, in accordance with section 414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013, to set out in the company's strategic report, information required by schedule 7 of the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Group (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. |
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). 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; |
- | state whether applicable 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. |

Report of the Directors |
for the year ended 31 May 2023 |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Radnor Hills Mineral Water Company Ltd |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Radnor Hills Mineral Water Company Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 May 2023 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 May 2023 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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Radnor Hills Mineral Water Company Ltd |
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. |
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 |
Radnor Hills Mineral Water Company Ltd |
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 risk of material misstatement 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 recognize non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and |
- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussion with directors and other senior management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the manufacturing and wholesale sector; and |
- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection and employment; and |
- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and |
- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the 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. |
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 set out in note 3 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, relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Radnor Hills Mineral Water Company Ltd |
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. |
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. |
Use of our 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |

Debenture | - | written off in equal annual instalments over its estimated useful economic life |
Computer software | - | written off in equal annual instalments over its estimated useful economic life |
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates. |
Tangible fixed assets |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The company has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently carried at amortised cost with an assessment for objective evidence of impairment. Any impairment is recognised in profit and loss. |
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) a contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards or control of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party. |
Basic financial liabilities including trade and other creditors are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently carried at amortised cost. 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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 statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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 |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |

Grants receivable towards the cost of an asset are recognised as income over the course of the asset life. |
