Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 October 2022


The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 October 2022.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Helix Roofing Contractors Ltd has been operating since 1995 from a suite of offices on the Wirral servicing the Merseyside & North West regions of the UK. It specialises in roof refurbishment & replacement of predominantly commercial properties and is an approved installer for a number of leading roofing material manufacturers. It also operates a joinery division that provides a bespoke product. It employs 30 staff with additional support from specialist subcontractors to provide a quality service to its clients, in general local government and health authorities, educational trusts, facilities management and construction companies.

Helix Roofing Contractors Ltd is committed to the pursuance of providing a quality service to its clients and a safe working environment for all its employees and interested parties. It is committed to reducing its environmental impact and a programme of measured continual improvement of operational, engineering and support activities.

Current trading conditions remain buoyant and the directors are optimistic that its reputation will help maintain and increase its client base. They continue to tender for opportunities through a variety of mediums including local government portals. The directors are confident that it has the operational and financial resources to improve its performance in 2023.

2022 saw an increase in operations following on from the COVID pandemic. This included one long term project at Leighton Hospital which continues into 2023. Whilst turnover has improved the company has also seen its operating costs increase dramatically, partly due to inflation and rising energy costs filtering down through the supply chain. Operatives wages have risen by 8% in 2022 in response to the inflation rate increase.

The company expects 2023 to be another good trading year despite external forces such as inflation and the cost of living crisis, as its turnover is generated predominantly by local government spending that has been pre-planned and costed into budgets. It continues to provide a reactive maintenance service to local hospitals and global manufacturer based on the Wirral. The directors recognise the additional opportunities presented by the joinery division that gives it access to new contacts with a reputation for providing a bespoke quality service.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The company maintains a risk and opportunities register that is reviewed annually. Potential risks include continuing rising costs and the availability of additional skilled labour to take the company to a higher level of trading and future growth. The potential for existing senior operatives to retire is an issue that may have a negative impact on the workforce with a lack of younger skilled workers coming into the industry. The company will need to keep wages at a high level to attract and retain new recruits. The rising cost of fuel and the impact of clean air zones in nearby cities requiring a switch to electric vehicles may restrict the company's ability to take on works further afield and in the more remote areas of the region such as Wales and Cumbria without the adequate infrastructures in place.

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;
-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.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





D W O'Dowd - Director


27 October 2023

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Helix Roofing Contractors Limited


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Helix Roofing Contractors Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 October 2022 which comprise the Income Statement, Other 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 October 2022 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.

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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Helix Roofing Contractors Limited


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 three, 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.

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 objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK).

In identifying and assessing risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the Company and the sector in which it operates. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Companies Act 2006, UK corporate tax laws, UK health and safety regulations, HSW Act 1974, Building Act 1984, Working at Height Regulations 2005 and other roofing trade specific legislation.
- We obtained an understanding of how the Company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquiries of management, reviewing the board meeting minutes, reviewing the schedule of ongoing and potential claims against the Company including those notified to their insurers, and reviewing the legal costs incurred in the year and enquiring with management to the circumstances around these legal costs.
- We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to materiality misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the audit engagement team included:
- identifying the controls that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
- challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
- auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business;
- assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.

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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

Significant judgements and estimates
Preparation of the financial estimates require management to make significant judgements and estimates. The areas in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made included:

The useful economic lives and residual values of assets are assessed by management on a timely basis.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2017, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery - 15% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance
Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Stocks and work in progress
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and
slow moving items. In respect of work in progress and finished goods, cost includes a relevant proportion of overheads according to the stage of manufacture/completion.

Financial instruments
The company enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and others debtors and creditors, loans to third parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

Debtors and creditors are measured at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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
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 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.

Construction contracts
When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting end date. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliability, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred where it is probable that they will be recovered. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

The percentage of completion method is used to determine the appropriate amount to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by the proportion of the contract work completed or certified to date compared to the estimated total contract value. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs.

Investments
Investments are 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.
