The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2017. |
Dataforce Interact Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of DF Property Portfolio Limited, whose parent company is Dataforce |

The Company is principally engaged in providing customer communications handling services, including database management; |
telephone, email and mail response handling; high volume mailing; and fulfilment for a wide range of clients. |

The Company had an average of 8, 5 and 74 employees in the administration, sales and Operations respectively during the year. |
The current economic environment continues to be challenging and, as a result, cost and margin control are of paramount importance |
to both the Company and its clients. With a clear focus around delivering and then measuring the return on investment, both within |
the business and on behalf of its clients, we believe we are well placed to prosper in these challenging times. |
In order to ensure that the business continues to deliver the highest quality of service, the Company took the decision to consolidate |
its two data centres in January - February 2013. This will have the benefit of enabling IT Infrastructure services to be delivered from |
one premise, facilitating further integration between contact centre and response handling services. |
The outlook for the Company in 2018 is positive, in the last 18 months the Company has taken actions to reduce overheads and |
improve its operating margins. The management teams are bedded in and making positive contributions in each area of our business. |
However as with all businesses, the uncertainty in the economic environment has the potential to impact any management plan. The |
Company's performance is closely linked to the activity levels of its clients but with a wide and numerous client base, the Directors |
believe it is well placed to weather the economic conditions within reasonable boundaries. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The Company continues to operate in a competitive market with constant pressure on margins. This risk is managed by continuing |
efforts to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The Company is dependent on relationship with key customers. The Company |
generally does not have long-term agreements with them. A number of contracts are due to be renewed on a short to medium term |
basis and there is a limited exposure to the potential loss of business at the time or each renewal. If any of the top customers |
significantly reduces the amount of business they place with the Company, the revenue and operating results could be adversely |
The Company operates in a competitive market. If the Company does not continue to compete effectively by continuing to provide a |
high quality service the Company could lose clients and in consequence operating profits could be adversely affected. The Board has |
a number of initiatives to improve productivity. These initiatives focus on identifying more efficient ways of working either through |
process improvements or technological enhancements. |
The business of the Company may be vulnerable to new and existing competitors and increased price competition and declining |
levels of contract renewals. Any of these factors could adversely affect the business and prospects of the Company. |
The Company monitors the performance of the business through detailed monthly operational and financial reporting, with |
comparison to budgets and updated forecasts being routinely made. In addition the Group maintains regular reviews and dialogue |
with the management of each of the Group's businesses. |
The Company is an equal opportunities employer and bases decisions on individual ability regardless of race, religion, gender, age or |
Consultation and communication with employees remains an important focal point and is carried out via a variety of methods |
including employee forums, usage of the intranet, emails and team briefings. |
Over the year, the Company has invested in management development and succession planning to ensure retention and development |
of key individuals and to further progress the opportunities for the future. |
Biannual appraisals are undertaken to ensure employees know how they are performing and how performance can be improved |
All Company activities support the regulatory environment in which it operates, including treating the customer fairly. |
The Company monitors cash flow as a part of its normal activities. Cash positions are monitored daily and forecasts are discussed |
with the Board on a monthly basis to ensure that sufficient resources are available to support business growth. |
Economic downturn and going concern |
The Company monitors client activity forecasts on a monthly basis and therefore has strong visibility of forward revenues for a 3 to 6 |
month period. As a result, the Board is able to react within sufficient time to reset the cost base appropriately. |
The Group monitors the performance of each of its businesses through detailed monthly operational and financial reporting, with |
comparisons to budgets and updated forecasts being routinely made. In addition the Group maintains regular reviews and dialogue |
with the management of each of the Group's businesses. |
At board level, the most important key performance measures are: |
- underlying operating profit, calculated on continuing operations excluding exceptional items and one off charges; and |
- gross margin, calculated on gross profit as a percentage of revenue. |
As a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current |
uncertain economic outlook. After making enquiries to the Group, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has |
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going |
concern basis, in preparing this annual report and financial statements. |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2017. |
The Directors have not recommended a dividend for the year ended 31 December 2017. |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2017 to the date of this report. |
DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT |
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; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's |
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that |
the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company |
and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as 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 ought to have taken as a director in order |
to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
The auditors, Butler & Co LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
We have audited the financial statements of Dataforce Interact Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2017 which |
comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes |
to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial |
reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, |
including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United |
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2017 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. |
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 |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: |
- |
the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or |
- |
the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
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 we do not express any form of assurance conclusion |
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, 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. |
Opinion 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 |
- |
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 Directors' Responsibilities Statement 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 |
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. |
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 |
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. |
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 |

|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
|
The financial statements have been prepared on a consistent basis in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards in the |
|
United Kingdom, and in compliance with the Companies Act 2006. A summary of the principal accounting policies is set out |
|
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial |
|
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly |
|
owned subsidiaries within the group. |
|
Turnover is recognised over the period of each contract on a time apportionment basis, having regard, where appropriate, to |
|
the activity levels required by the contractual terms. Turnover relates solely to services provided to clients during the period |
|
and is stated net of value added tax. No credit is taken to the profit and loss account in respect of receipts for services to be |
|
rendered in subsequent accounting periods. Amounts received for this are credits to deferred income. |
|
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
|
Improvements to property |
- |

|
Plant and machinery |
- |
4 - 8 years |
|
Office equipments, fixtures & fittings |

| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. |
| 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 balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in |
| which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted |
| or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be |
| recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
|
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
|
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term, even if |
|
the payments are not made on such a basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are |
|
similarly spread on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where the period to the review date on which the rent is |
|
first expected to be adjusted to the prevailing market rate is shorter than the full lease term, in which case the shorter period |
|
Assets held under finance leases, which confer rights and obligations similar to those attached to owned assets, are |
|
capitalised as tangible fixed assets and are depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and their useful lives. The capital |
|
elements of future lease obligations are recorded as liabilities, while the interest elements are charged to the profit and loss |
|
account over the period of the lease to produce a constant rate of charge on the balance sheet of capital repayments |
|
outstanding. Hire purchase transactions are dealt with similarly, except that assets are depreciated over their useful economic |
|
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. |
|
The Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements. |
