STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
Principal activities and operating structure |
The principal activity of the company is laboratory & office design and fit-out. |
On 15 August 2023, Bulb Interiors Limited became part of the Unispace Global Limited Group. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The directors consider that the company has traded satisfactorily during the year. There has been no change in the company's core activities in the period under review. |
The company generated turnover of £34,599,193 (2022: £25,919,081) within the year, an £8,680,112 (33%) increase vs prior year. Gross profit was 16.64% compared to 17.29% in 2022. Profit before tax was £2,826,491 (2022: £2,209,792) which is 8.17% (2022: 8.52%) of turnover. |
The measures above are key performance indicators for the company and provide the directors with optimism over the success of the company and its future outlook. The directors believe that there is a strong foundation to build the business further and improve on the current year's results. |
During the year, the company has managed the exposures and uncertainty brought by the changes in the macroeconomic landscape, such as fluctuating inflation and interest rates, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Although the transactional market activity has not yet returned to pre-Covid-19 levels, the company was able to continue its momentum in the market during the year, working with clients and meeting their demands on laboratory and office solutions. |
The company was acquired on 15 August 2023 by Unispace Global Limited. Since this date the change of directors and management team has been a smooth transition with minimal, if any, disruption to both business operations and going concern assessment. It is the belief of the directors that the acquisition will further enhance both the company's future growth alongside a strengthened market position both throughout the year and going forward. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The management of the business and the nature of the company's strategy are subject to a number of risks. The directors are of the opinion that a thorough risk management process is adopted which involves the formal review of the business risks. Where possible, processes are in place to monitor and mitigate such risks. |
The directors have set out below the principal risks facing the business during the year: |
Covid-19 |
Covid continued to have a reduced impact in 2023, and the on trade has largely operated normally, albeit in an environment where overhead costs are significantly higher and staff recruitment and retention is a major challenge. Despite this, on trade sales were promising. |
Competition |
The market in which the company operates is very specialist. Our consultative approach and the scale of work targeted means that there are few comparative competitors in our sector. Management continue to monitor the market for any competitor movements. |
Market conditions |
Continued strong interest in the science & technology sector, however, present economic conditions have resulted in prolongation of client decision making - delay issuing orders and therefore contract commencement. |
Financial Risk Management |
Credit risk: Credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debtors. The company has an excellent track record of collections and debtor recovery and does not have any material receivables which are not anticipated to be recovered in full. |
Liquidity risk: The company maintains and monitors the cash flow to ensure it has sufficient available funds for operations. |
Foreign exchange risk: The company manages its foreign exchange exposure through regular monitoring and where expenses are incurred in Euros, these are settled from a Euro bank account. |
Supplier logistical risk: The company, as far as possible, establishes any supply-chain issues prior to finalising the contract with the client, thereby heading off the risk as far as possible through careful planning. |
Key performance indicators |
The company's key performance indicators are: |
1.Targeted annual turnover (exceeded in the year of report). |
2.Targeted average gross profit margin (achieved in the year of report). |
3.No health and safety issues during the year (achieved in the year of report). |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |

DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2023 to the date of this report. |
Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
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 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. |
BULB INTERIORS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05353540) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Seymour Taylor Limited, will be re-appointed in accordance with section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
BULB INTERIORS LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Bulb Interiors Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 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. |
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 |
BULB INTERIORS 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 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 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: |
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities |
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following: |
- the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the design of the Company's remuneration policies, key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets; |
- results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities; |
- any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Company's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to: |
- identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance; |
- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; |
- the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
- the matters discussed among the audit engagement team including significant component audit teams and involving relevant internal specialists, including tax specialists regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
BULB INTERIORS LIMITED |
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. |
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and local tax legislation. |
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. |
Audit response to risks identified |
As a result of performing the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: |
- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements; |
- enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; |
- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; |
- obtained an understanding of provisions and held discussions with management to understand the basis of recognition or non-recognition of tax provisions; and |
- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. |
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. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
1. | GENERAL INFORMATION |
Bulb Interiors Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the company's registered office is Elizabeth House, 13-19 London Road, Newbury, Berkshire, United Kingdom, RG14 1JL . The principal place of business is Priory Court Wood Lane, Beech Hill, Reading, RG7 2BJ. The registered number is 05353540. |
The principal activity of the company is that of laboratory & office design and fit out. |
The presentation currency of these financial statements is Sterling (£), being the currency of the primary economic market in which the entity operates (its functional currency). All amounts in these financial statements have been rounded to the nearest pound unless stated otherwise. |
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going concern |
The directors have assessed expected future cashflows, giving due consideration to all relevant factors affecting the company. The directors have considered the potential impact on the company as well as its capital resources and believe that the company has adequate resources in place to continue in operation for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Consequently, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. |
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements: |
- Section 7 'Statement of Cash Flows' - Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and |
disclosures; |
- Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instrument Issues' - Carrying amounts, interest income/expense and net gains/losses for each category of financial instrument; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income; |
- Section 33 'Related Party Disclosures' - Compensation for key management personnel. |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Bulb Interiors Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertakings are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of Pagac Urban Holding (UK) Ltd. |

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided, net of trade discounts and value added tax. |
Turnover from construction contracts is recognised when the outcome can be estimated reliably and contract costs and turnover associated with this shall be recognised by reference to the stage of completion at the Statement of financial position date. |
Stage of completion is measured on the proportion of costs incurred for work performed to date in relation to estimated total costs from surveys of work performed. Variations in contract work are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable. |
When it is probable that contract costs will exceed the total contract turnover, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately, with a corresponding provision. |
Where the outcome of the contract cannot be reliably estimated, turnover is recognised only to the extent of the contract costs recognised that it is probable it will be recoverable. |
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill |
Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over their useful economical lives as follows: |
Development costs - straight line over 2 years |
The directors review for impairment annually and subsequently a provision is recognised if required. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimate useful life: |
Fixtures and fittings | 25% reducing balance |
Computer equipment | 25% reducing balance & 33% straight line |
Motor vehicles | 25% reducing balance |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed if there is an indication of a significant change since the last annual reporting date in the pattern by which the company expects to consume an asset's future economic benefits. |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost, less any impairment losses. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The company has applied the provisions of Section 11 "Basic Financial Instruments" and Section 12 "Other Financial Instrument Issues" of FRS 102 to its financial statements. |
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the statement of financial position. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the income statement. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability. |
Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity. |
Taxation |
Tax on the profit or loss 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 directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income. |
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. |
Deferred tax is provided on timing differences which arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. Differences between accumulated depreciation and tax allowances for the cost of a fixed asset, if and when all conditions for retaining the tax allowances have been met, are not provided for. Deferred tax is not recognised on permanent differences arising because certain types of income or expense are non-taxable or are disallowable for tax or because certain tax charges or allowances are greater or smaller than the corresponding income or expense. |
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the reversal of the related difference, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. Deferred tax balances are not discounted. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that is it probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Foreign currencies |
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities at the period end denominated in a foreign currency are translated into Sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Exchange differences are taken into account when arriving at the operating profit. |
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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate. |
Employee benefits |
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets. |
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. |
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. |
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation at the statement of financial position date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the relevant amount included as an expense in the income statement. |
Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision or contingency is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in the profit or loss account in the period it arises. |

3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, 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, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
Turnover and margin recognition |
The company's turnover and margin recognition policies are central to how the company values the work it has carried out each year. These policies require forecasts to be made of the outcomes of construction and service contracts, which require assessment and judgements to be made on contract programmes, changes in the scope of work and changes in costs. |
Management bases its judgements of costs and turnover and its assessment of the expected outcome of each contract on the latest available information. This information includes detailed contract valuations and forecasts of the costs to complete. The estimates of the contract positions and the profit or loss earned to date are updated regularly and significant changes are highlighted through established internal review procedures. The impact of any change in the accounting estimates is then reflected in the financial statements when known |
Cost reserves and provisioning |
Management include a cost reserve for contracts which, on balance, are determined as having probable additional costs due at a future date resulting from defects or necessary remedial work. Management also review for any reserves required against sales made which is assessed as being the total amount invoiced to date which could be reasonably considered unrecoverable from the end customer upon agreement of the final account or an interim agreement is made. |
These reserves are reviewed continuously throughout the year, constantly assessed for accuracy using management's high level of expertise on which its best estimate is based. Each reserve is made on a job by job basis. |
4. | TURNOVER |
The turnover and profit before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the company. |
An analysis of turnover by class of business is given below: |
