GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2023

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 28th February 2023.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The group has seen a modest increase in turnover of £0.4m which is impressive given the decision to downsize the fleet and operate as a more lean and efficient company.

The crane hire industry is very competitive and is very dependant on the construction industry. The construction industry continues to be uncertain with macro economic factors, especially impacted by high price inflation and the consequences of the invasion of Ukraine.

The group remains committed to providing excellent service and quality.


N.M.T. PLANT HIRE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01401323)

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2023

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the group are the general economic background. The group addresses this risk through continued investment in the crane fleet to ensure that it remains a modern fleet which is capable of satisfying market demands.

There have been a few crane companies that have gone into administration recently and this has highlighted the tough trading conditions.

Financial risk management
The group's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and cash flow risk.

Foreign exchange rate risk arises from transactions when goods and services are bought or sold in currencies other than Sterling. Limited transactions of this nature arise in the group and if necessary the risk would be managed by way of a forward or spot contract based on management's assessment of the relevant currencies.

The effects of credit risk are controlled as the group has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made. The amount of exposure to any individual counterparty is subject to a limit, which is reassessed ny the Board. The Board receives regular reports on amounts due and amounts significantly overdue and the relevant action taken.

The Group has a number of fixed assets which were acquired under hire purchase contracts. The interest rates are fixed and this gives certainty over the cash outflows.

Non-financial risks
The key non-financial risks facing the business are competition and the risk to personnel and reputation in the event of serious accident involving a crane. The Board continually monitors these risks and has robust controls and processes in place to minimise the risk to the company.

Key performance indicators ("KPIs")
The main indicators used to measure performance are the Gross Profit Margin and the Net Assets.

The Gross Profit Margin has decreased to 21.40% from 23.70% in the prior year.

The Net Assets of the Group at the balance sheet had slightly reduced from £8.2m to £8.05m.

Future Developments

Since the balance sheet date, the Group has looked to reduce the fleet size to rationalise operations. A number of cranes have been sold and a number will be auctioned in the coming months.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group 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 group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information.

N.M.T. PLANT HIRE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01401323)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2023


AUDITORS
The auditors, HW East Midlands Audit LLP, will be deemed reappointed for the next financial year in accordance with section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006 unless the company receives notice under section 488(1) of the Companies Act 2006.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:




T L Ambridge - Director


15th November 2023

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
N.M.T. PLANT HIRE LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of N.M.T. Plant Hire Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 28th February 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Consolidated 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 28th February 2023 and of the group's 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.

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 group 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 group's and the parent 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group 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
N.M.T. PLANT HIRE LIMITED


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company 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 four, 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent 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:

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- Identifying and assessing the controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
- Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
- Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates and judgments.
- Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations; and
- Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations are from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusions.

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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
N.M.T. PLANT HIRE LIMITED


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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2023

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

N.M.T. Plant Hire Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the company.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied at all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Reduced disclosures

In accordance with FRS 102, Section 11, the group has taken advantage of the exemption from disclosing Basic Financial Instruments.

Basis of consolidation
The group accounts consolidate the accounts of N.m.t. Plant Hire Limited and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to the last day in February each year. The results of subsidiaries acquired or sold are consolidated for the periods from or to the date on which control passed. Acquisition are accounted for under the acquisition method with goodwill, representing any excess of the fair value of the consolidation given over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, being amortised over the expected useful life.

Related party exemption
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.

Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements.

Significant judgements and estimates
In the application of the group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgement, 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 accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Tangible fixed assets

Management apply judgement in assessment of the estimated useful life and residual value of plant and machinery that represents the hire stock of the entity. The resultant depreciation charged to profit and loss is an estimated of the wearing out and consumption of the economic value of the assets in the year.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2023

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. The policy adopted for the recognition of turnover is as follows:

Turnover from the hire of plant & machinery is recognised when the services have been performed and invoiced.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2015, was amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 3 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
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is
directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life less its residual value deemed to be 50% for assets that are less than 10 years old and 25% for assets over 10 years old or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Freehold land- not provided
Improvements to property- 2% on cost
Plant and machinery- 25% on reducing balance and straight line over lease term
Fixtures and fittings- 25% on reducing balance
Computer equipment- 33% on cost

The freehold land and buildings were revalued in 2022 by an independent chartered surveyor. The group follows a policy of regular revaluations.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

When stocks are sold, the carrying amount of these stocks is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write down of stocks to net realisable value and all losses of stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the write down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write down of stocks is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2023

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Tax and 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.

Holiday pay
A provision for annual leave accrued by employees as a result of services rendered is recognised in the current year. The provision is measured at the salary cost payable for the period of absence.

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
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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 group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.

Loans and borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value.
