STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 January 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Results for the year ended 31 January 2024 showed sales and profit have increased compared to the prior year. Improvements to inflationary cost of materials and services have been deemed the leading factors for this change.

The gross profit percentage has changed due to the sales mix. The directors continue to control and review the company's operating costs which are comparable as a percentage of turnover year on year. The company continues to conduct research and development activity.

The pension scheme surplus is nil (2023 - nil). The amount reported by the actuary valued the surplus at £127,000, but this has not been recognised in line with treatment prescribed under FRS 102. The main reasons for the decrease in the surplus over the period can be summarised as follows:

1) Returns on the Scheme's invested assets were lower than assumed. This has reduced the surplus by £321,000.

2) Allowing for actual inflation-linked increases being higher than previously assumed over the period slightly increases the Scheme's liabilities by approximately £12,000

3) The rise in bond yields over the period increased the discount rate and therefore reduced the value placed on liabilities. The overall impact of this change in market conditions is to reduce the Scheme's liabilities by £102,000.

4) Employer contributions of £134,000 during the period increased the asset value and hence offset the surplus reduction.

Overall, the directors are satisfied with the company's performance in 2023-24 and believe that the company will consolidate its position during the subsequent financial year.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the company are largely the inflationary price rises affecting margins and the pension scheme.
With regards to the pension scheme the directors continue to monitor the current situation, and where possible, adjust company contributions into the scheme.

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Results for the year ended 31 January 2024 show a change in sales to £18,653,979 (2023 - £17,648,408) with a change in gross profit margin to 26.0% (2023 - 19.15%).

The increase in gross profit margin has resulted in the company reporting a profit before tax of £793,280 compared to £258,558 achieved in the prior year.

The results of the period have meant that shareholders' funds have increased from £7,518,356 to £7,954,690.

OTHER KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The directors closely monitor sales mix, supplier turnover, production output, staff attendance and working capital. These key performance indicators are within the targets set for the year.

TONG ENGINEERING LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01957036)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 January 2024.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of manufacture of agricultural machinery and recycling equipment.

DIVIDENDS
Dividends are voted prior to the year end date, with the value being dependent on year end results. The dividend agreed at the meeting is that 5% of profit before tax will be payable to those holding Ordinary A shares at the year end. No dividend was declared for those shareholders holding Ordinary shares.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The company continues to invest in research and development activity.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Tong Engineering Limited has a long history of manufacturing in the agriculture sector and continues to focus on this core activity as well as other product handling markets. The company purchased land surrounding their main manufacturing site, in order to ensure space is available for future expansion opportunities as they arise.

DIRECTORS
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 February 2023 to the date of this report.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The company makes sales on credit, and manages the risks arising through its credit control procedures.

The company makes sales in foreign currencies. If the value of the sale is significant, forward exchange contracts for the value of the order are entered into when the order is placed. This eliminates the impact of the exchange risk on the pricing of sales.

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.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024


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.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





C E Tong - Director

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
TONG ENGINEERING LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Tong Engineering Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 January 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the 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 company's affairs as at 31 January 2024 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.

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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
TONG ENGINEERING LIMITED


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:

We have identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial experience, knowledge of the sector, a review of regulatory and legal correspondence and through discussions with Directors and other management obtained as part of the work required by auditing standards. We have also discussed with the Directors and other management the policies and procedures relating to compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated laws and regulations throughout the team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.

The potential impact of different laws and regulations varies considerably. Firstly, the company is subject to laws and regulations that directly impact the financial statements (for example financial reporting legislation) and we have assessed the extent of compliance with such laws as part of our financial statements audit. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to management bias in accounting estimates and judgemental areas of the financial statements such as depreciation of fixed assets, as well as the risk of inappropriate journal entries to increase reported profitability. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included the identification and testing of material and unusual journal entries and challenging management on key accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements made in the preparation of the financial statements. We carried out detailed substantive tests on accounting estimates, including reviewing the methods used by management to make those estimates, re-performing the calculation, and reviewing the outcome of prior year estimates.

Secondly, the company is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequence for non-compliance could have a material effect on the amounts or disclosures in the financial statements. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: Health and Safety regulations and Employment laws. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Directors and other management and inspection. Through these procedures, if we became aware of any non-compliance, we considered the impact on the procedures performed on the related financial statement items.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

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
TONG ENGINEERING LIMITED


Use of our report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Tong Engineering 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 Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The company's accounting reference date is 31 January. These financial statements are for the period 30 January 2023 to 28 January 2024. The comparative figures are for the period 31 January 2022 to 29 January 2023.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Tong Engineering Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 402 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Significant judgements and estimates
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experiences 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 estimates 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 key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.

(i) Work in progress assumptions

The estimations and assumptions used to assess that work in progress under contract is valued in line with applicable accounting frameworks are the contracted sales price (exclusive of VAT) and the stage of completion. The stage of completion is estimated by senior management using standardised methodology and is regularly reviewed.

(ii) Defined benefit pension scheme assumptions

The estimations and assumptions supplied by the actuary when preparing the actuarial report for the defined benefit pension scheme operated by the client are in line with market conditions at the time of the report. The actuary is an experienced and qualified actuarial institution, and subject to the standards and regulations of the relevant governing body.

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

Sale of goods are recognised upon delivery to the customer, or upon collection by the customer, when title has passed.
Revenue from construction contracts is recognised based on the stage of completion of the contracted activity over the course of the contract.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful
life.

Land & freehold property (land)-Not provided for on land
Land & freehold property (buildings)-2% straight line
Plant and machinery-5 - 10% straight line
Office Equipment-10 - 20% straight line and 33% straight line
Motor vehicles-25 -33% straight line

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received using the accruals model.

The government grants received relate to support in respect of capital investment.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates
Investments in subsidiary and associate undertakings are recognised at cost.

Stocks
Raw material and work in progress stocks are stated at the lower of cost and the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress includes labour and attributable overheads.

Contracted work in progress stocks are stated at the estimated revenue due from customers for contract work performed as at the reporting date. Work performed to date is valued using the percentage of completion method as prescribed under FRS 102. On the realisation of income arising from construction contracts, additional costs incurred in excess of the costs recognised are presented within work in progress.

Finished machines are valued at the lower of cost and the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined by reference to the sales price less the margin. For part complete machines, the stage of completion of the machine is estimated and multiplied by the cost to determine the stock value.

At each financial reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit and loss.

Financial instruments
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks, other third parties and related parties.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate.If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the financial reporting date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is as enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The company does not generally apply hedge accounting in respect of forward foreign exchange contracts held to manage the cash flow exposure of forecast transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the financial reporting 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.

Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currency translation
The company's functional and presentational currency is the Pound Sterling (£).

Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are initially recognised by applying the foreign currency amount at spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of transaction.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when the fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings of cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within 'financial income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within administrative expenses.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the statement of financial position. 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 the income statement over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pensions
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payments obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expenses in the income statement when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

Defined benefit pension plan
The Company operates a defined benefit plan. A defined benefit plan defines the pension benefit that the employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent upon several factors including but not limited to age, length of service and remuneration. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan.

The liability recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of the defined benefit plan us the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the financial reporting date less the fair value of plan assets at the financial reporting date (if any) out of which the obligations are to be settled.

The defined benefit obligation is calculated using the projected unit credit method. Annually the company engages independent actuaries to calculate the obligation. The present value is determined by discounting the estimated future payments using market yields on high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in sterling and that have terms approximating to the estimated period of the future payments ('discount rate').

The fair value of plan assets is measured in accordance with the FRS 102 fair value hierarchy and in accordance with the Company's policy for similarly held assets. This includes the use of appropriate valuation techniques.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. These amounts together with the return on plan assets, less amounts included in net interest, are disclosed as 'Remeasurement of net defined benefit liability'.

The cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in the income statement as employee costs, except where included in the cost of an asset, comprises:
a) the increase in net pension benefit liability arising from employee service during the period; and
b) the cost of plan introductions, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defines benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is recognised in profit or loss as a 'finance expense'.

Impairment
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each reporting year end date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is recognised in the revaluation reserve.

22. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

Tong Engineering Limited (the Company) operates a defined benefit pension arrangement called the Tong Engineering Retirement Benefits Scheme (the Scheme). The Scheme provides benefits based on final salary and length of service on retirement, leaving service or death. The Company also operates a defined contribution scheme, but this is not included in these disclosures.

The Scheme is subject to the Statutory Funding Objective under the Pensions Act 2004. A valuation of the Scheme is carried out at least once every three years to determine whether the Statutory Funding Objective is met.

The most recent comprehensive actuarial valuation of the Scheme was carried out as at 31 January 2021 and the next valuation of the scheme is due as at 31 January 2024. In the event that the valuation reveals a larger deficit than expected the company may be required to increase contributions above those set out in the existing Schedule of Contributions. Conversely, if the position is better than expected, it is possible that contributions may be reduced.

The Company expects to pay contributions of £134,300 in the year to 31 January 2025.

The Scheme is managed by an independent corporate Trustee appointed by the Company. The Trustee has responsibility for obtaining valuations of the fund, administering benefit payments and investing the Scheme's assets. The Trustee delegates some of these functions to their professional advisers where appropriate.

The effect of the judgements regarding equalisation of Guaranteed Minimum Pensions for ongoing benefits and past transfers has been allowed for in the disclosed liabilities. These were accounted for as past service costs in the previous years, and there is no additional past service cost item in respect of these for the current period.

There were no plan amendments, curtailments or settlements during the period.

Risk mitigation strategies
The Scheme's investment strategy includes an allocation to LDI and corporate bond assets. These assets will, to some degree, move in line with the liabilities when interest rates and inflation expectations change, the results being that the scheme is partially protected against interest rate and inflation risk.

Profile of defined benefit obligation
The duration of liabilities depends on the assumptions used and has reduced since the previous disclosures due to the significant movements in bond yields underlying the discount rate assumptions. The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is around 10 years at 31 January 2024.

The amounts recognised in the balance sheet are as follows:

Derecognition

Per the actuary assessment of the scheme as at 31 January 2024, the scheme reported a surplus of £127,000. The company has opted not to recognise this surplus as an asset on the face of the Statement of Financial Position as the conditions for recognition (per FRS 102) cannot be confirmed to be present.

Defined contribution scheme

The company also operates a defined contribution pension scheme.

The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the company to the fund and amounted to £287,031 (2023 - £266,082).

At the year end, no balance remained outstanding to the pension scheme (2023 - Nil).

23. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The company has a cross guarantee in place with Tong Engineering Group Limited and Terry Johnson Limited to secure the bank borrowings, which were £1,644,905 at the statement of financial position date. Security given is as specified in the secured debts note to the financial statements.
