CCCCC GROUP LIMITED
The directors present their report together with the audited financialstatements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2009.
Principal activity and business review
The Group's principal activity continues to be that of worldwide sales of widgets.
The Directors are pleased to once again report record sales for 2009,continuing the trend of improved sales year on year. Group sales increased by23% to £444.2m in 2009 (2008: £359.7m) as the Group continued to expand itssales activities through its network of 15 offices in 12 countries. At theyear end the group had shareholders funds of £11.5m (2008: £5.9m) of which£10.5m (2008: £4.9m) were distributable reserves.
With margins squeezed due to the economic conditions, EBIT decreased to £5.6m(2008: £7.1 m) and operating profit decreased to £4.2m (2008: £6.8m) but theresults are solid and underline the importance of product and geographicbalance in difficult times. As has been widely publicised, 2009 was one ofthe most difficult years in recent history with companies all over the worldreducing inventories to try and keep ahead of the predicted recession, Thisresulted in tighter margins as customers in certain destinations either ceasedto exist or declined to accept contracted goods. Fortunately CCCCC have apolicy of protecting debts across the world through the banking system and theeffect was manageable. Given the catastrophic way some markets performed duringthe year, these are truly exceptional results and reinforce the value of aspread of activities across the globe.
The growth in products outside of the Group's core business of big widgets hascontinued in the year with little widgets all making growing contributions toGroup sales and profits. The geographic emphasis has continued too, withexpansion in almost all of the Group's 15 offices worldwide.
CCCCC Associate exceeded expectations and posted its best ever results as customersbegan to move towards more economy products.
Future Prospects
Whilst the sharp fall in interest rates and difficult trading conditions hasslowed down the rapid expansion seen since 2005, the Group continues to recordsolid sales growth. The first quarter of 2010 showed results ahead of the sameperiod last year and the Group is well placed to continue reporting healthyprofits for the coming year as manufacturers begin to rebuild inventory levels.
Business Risk
The Company has always actively managed its risks and this has enabled it todeliver continued growth in terms of products, geography and profitability. Thekeyword of the Company is "balance" and this is evident within the geographicareas it operates, the currencies it trades in, and the products sold.
Company Number: 12346789
Technical risk
There is always a risk that suppliers fail the ever increasing technicalrequirements enforced by customers. The Company manages this risk through theemployment of highly dedicated, qualified and experienced teams of technicalpersonnel, who ensure that all requirements are complied with prior toshipment.
Currency risk
Traders minimise the currency risk by matching the buying and selling offoreign currency. Where there is a currency exposure on a certain deal, usingthe projected receipt dates, the traders secure the exchange value.
Trade Barriers
The market place for widgets is often affected by quota systems, such as licencingand tariffs. The company is actively involved in lobbying and industryrepresentation to minimise the risk. Again, experience and knowledge is the keyto managing this risk.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits, andwhere necessary to fund expansion or capital expenditure programmes, throughbank borrowings. The management objectives are to:
retain sufficient liquid funds to enable it to meet its day to day objectivesas they fall due whilst maximising returns on surplus funds.
minimise the Group's exposure to fluctuating interest rates when seeking newborrowings; and
match the repayment schedule of any external borrowings or overdraft with the
expected future cash flows expected to arise from the Group's trading
activities.
Key performance indicators

Turnover (£'000)Operating profit before exceptional items and associate (£'000)Return on shareholders fundsCustomer service satisfaction rating

1 Accounting policies
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical costconvention, in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the results of CCCCC GroupLimited and its subsidiary undertakings for the year ended 31 December 2009 using
exemption under S230 of the Companies Act 1985 from presenting its own profitand loss account.
Associates
An entity is treated as an associate where the Group holds more than 20% butless than 50% of the issued share capital of the company.
The Group's interest in associates is accounted for using the gross equitymethod of accounting. The consolidated profit and loss account includes theGroup's share of the operating results, interest, pre taxation results andattributable taxation of such undertakings based on audited financialstatements for the year. In the consolidated balance sheet the interests inassociates are shown as the Group's share of the net assets, exclusive of anygoodwill.
Share based payments
The share option programme allows Group employees to acquire shares of theCompany. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expensewith a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grantdate and spread over the period during which the employees becomeunconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options grantedis measured using a Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms andconditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as anexpense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vestexcept where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the thresholdfor vesting.
Turnover
Turnover comprises the invoiced value of goods and services supplied by thecompany and the Group, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts. Intragroup turnover is eliminated on consolidation. Revenue is recognised when thesignificant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferredto the customer, which is usually upon shipment, or in line with the termsagreed with individual customers and when the amount of income and costs can bemeasured reliably.
Intangible assets
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of business representing any excess of thefair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the identifiableassets and liabilities acquired is capitalised and written off on a straight
the acquisition method of accounting. The company has taken advantage of the
line basis over its useful economic life which is twenty years. An impairmentcharge is recognised for any amount by which the carrying value of goodwillexceeds its recoverable amount. Any such impairment losses are recognised.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
The cost of tangible fixed assets is their purchase price, together with anyincidental costs of acquisition.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less itsestimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset asfollows:
Freehold land nilFreehold property 2% per annum straight lineOffice equipment and plant 15 - 25% per annum reducing balanceMotor vehicles 25% per annum reducing balanceComputer equipment 33.3% per annum straight line
The profit on disposal of fixed assets is recognised upon final completion ofthe sales contract.
Investments
The investment in subsidiary undertakings are stated as cost less anydiminution in value. The company acquired the shares of the subsidiaryundertaking for a cash consideration and a share for share exchangetransaction. The cost is the consideration paid plus the nominal value ofshares issued on exchange plus various debt instruments issued at fair value.
Stocks
Stocks on the balance sheet includes goods for resale (inventory) and goods intransit.
Goods for resale represents stock held for which there is no imminent sale to acustomer. Goods in transit are products travelling to a known customer butwhere title has not yet passed due to the non fulfilment of sales terms.
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after makingdue allowance for obsolete and Slow-moving stocks. Cost is based on the cost ofpurchase on a first in first out basis. Net realisable value is based onestimated selling price less additional costs to completion and disposal.
Operating lease agreements
All current leases qualify as operating leases. Their annual rentals arecharged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the termof the lease.
Reverse premiums and similar incentives received to enter into operating leaseagreements are released to the profit and loss account over the period to thedate on which the rent is first expected to be adjusted to the prevailingmarket rate.
Pension costs
Contributions to the Group's defined contribution pension scheme are charged tothe profit and loss account in the year in which they become payable.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that haveoriginated but not reversed at the balance sheet date, where transactions orevents that result in an obligation to pay more or a right to pay less tax inthe future have occurred by the balance sheet date with certain limitedexceptions.
Deferred tax is calculated on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that areexpected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expectedto reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at thebalance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable thattaxable profits will be available against which deductible temporarydifferences can be utilised.
Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchangeruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date except where they are covered by forwardcontracts when the forward rate is used. Any gains or losses on translation areincluded in the profit and loss account.
The financial statements of overseas subsidiary undertakings are translated atthe rate of exchange ruling. at the balance sheet date. The exchange differencearising on the retranslation of opening net assets is taken directly toreserves. All other translation differences are taken to the profit and lossaccount.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to thesubstance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financialliabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract thatevidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting allof it's liabilities.
2 Turnover
The turnover and profit before tax are attributable to the one principalactivity of the Group.

XBRL tagging information has been added to this sample using a combination of specific columns and cell comments.
Consolidation and parent company tagging
Preparers of XBRL must use dimensions in the UK GAAP taxonomy to distinguish between group or consolidated data andcompany data. The default value on these dimensions is company. So all group or consolidated data must explicitly reference one of these dimensions with a group or consolidated value.
To simplify the presentation of the tagging in this spreadsheet the references to group or consolidation dimensionshave been omitted from the 'Dimensions' column.
Column and comment entries
The 'Tuple' column (column I) contains the name of the parent element if the element is reported in a Tuple.
Font styles and colours
Minimum taggingAn element name in italics means that it is included on the minimum tagging list.
The 'Element Name' column (column H) generally contains the QNAME of UK GAAP taxonomy elements. The prefixes are the standard prefixes used in the UK GAAP taxonomy. If an element applies to a column of sample data instead of a row the element name has been added as a comment to a specific cell of sample data or above a column of sample data.
The 'Dimensions' column (column K) generally contains any dimensional qualifiers for an element in the format of 'dimension=value' using QNAMEs for the dimensions and values. If the dimensions apply to a column of sample data rather than a row they have been added as comments above the column of sample data with a reference to the comment field in this column. A comma-separated list is used when there is more than one dimension.
To give a broad indication of the content from the sample data that an element applies to, the element names have been alternatively coloured red or blue and their matching content in the sample data (usually on the same row) will similarly be red or blue . An element name in black means that the element has a boolean value or is an empty element.
