GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 SEPTEMBER 2023


The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 29 September 2023.

DMA Group

We are the DMA Group. www.dma-group.co.uk

Making buildings work is what we do best. As a group we offer the complete 'Life of Building' solution to our customers. We are uniquely structured with a broad team of in-house specialists spanning facilities & maintenance, projects & engineering, energy services and joinery. Our joinery team manufactures bespoke products in our state-of-the-art workshop in Canterbury. The capabilities of our directly employed teams are supplemented by our supply chain partners so that we can tailor and deliver any property service solution.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Group trading performance

The group has delivered £23,188,637 (2022 - £19,235,299) sales and a profit before tax of £671,849 (2022 - £19,047).

The group balance sheet at year end has net assets of £2,575,428 (2022 - £1,861,793), net current liabilities of £451,278 (2022 - £653,050) and £739,302 (2022 - £308) in cash.

Group strategy

Our vision: Powered by our expertise and our technology, we will make buildings work better and change the UK maintenance industry, for good.

The Senior Leadership Team has a wealth of experience and is focused on growth through great people, repeatedly delivering great service, at scale, and achieving great results for our customers, our people and our business.

Growth will be achieved through scaling up our own technology-enabled uber-efficient delivery model and sustainably delivering better customer service, driven by business process automation that's powered by live, transparent, end-to-end data, available to all stakeholders anywhere, anytime, on any device.

In addition, we will roll out our 'managed service' model that will enable our customers to procure our single, fully serviced maintenance management platform to simplify, aggregate and consolidate all their service needs and providers within one system.

Our fully integrated hard service FM scope comprises planned maintenance, 24/7 reactive emergency callouts and repairs, small works, larger projects and energy services that helps our customers reduce energy and cut carbon on their journey to net zero.


DMA GROUP LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05829629)

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 SEPTEMBER 2023

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The main risks, in no particular order, and associated mitigations are:

- Availability of skills. Our industry faces an unprecedented skills gap. This is the culmination of a long-term lack
of apprenticeships, falling numbers of young recruits, and an exodus of many skilled operatives through Brexit, all
compounded by the Covid pandemic. This lack of skills means an intense demand for skilled labour. All of which
has conspired to increase salary costs at a time when we had an energy and cost of living crisis and a fragile
economy. To mitigate the risk of the skills gap, we continue to build the number of apprentices in our
apprenticeship scheme and have created an in-house team to recruit and retain our talented people. We have a
culture in DMA that fosters high levels of employee engagement.

- Credit risk. We only trade with reputable building owners, occupiers, managers and agents. We ensure that our
credit risk is covered by positive cashflow and/or the financial covenant offered by our customer.

- Funding. We maintain tight control over working capital and focus daily on cash collection, invoicing and work in
progress;

- Competition. We are one of only a very few service providers to have a proprietary enterprise management
system, which is called BiO®. Our technology has been recognised and celebrated in the industry press and the
Sunday Times, earning DMA titles like 'disruptor' and 'change maker'. We continue to invest significant sums in
our technology and the learning and development of our people.

- Key person exposure (technology). Representative of the strategic importance of our technology
development, we have Key Person Insurance in place for our Chief Technology Officer. We also continue to
recruit into our technology team.

- Reputational risk. Our sales governance process ensures we only tender for and deliver projects within our
core competencies. Service partners must be approved and onboarded on BiO® to work with us. Our 24/7
customer service team provide continuous support including for emergency call out and repairs. Our leadership is
visible and accessible whenever customer issues arise.

- Geopolitical and economic uncertainties. Global businesses face significant geopolitical and economic
uncertainties driven by regional conflicts, shifting trade policies, economic sanctions, and supply chain disruptions,
to name but a few. Tensions between major powers like the U.S. and China, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and
rising protectionism have heightened risks. Additionally, economic volatility, including inflation, fluctuating interest
rates, and currency instability, adds to the challenges. As an SME our share of the FM market is small, so we are
somewhat shielded from macro-economic factors. However, we continue to diversify our service offering, build
organisational resilience and focus on our ESG performance to hedge against these risks.

EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR

S W Kingsman
A D Wood
S J McGregor
A Cook

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). 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.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





A D Wood - Director


16 September 2024

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
DMA GROUP LIMITED


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of DMA Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 29 September 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 29 September 2023 and of the group's 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 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
DMA GROUP 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 five, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
DMA GROUP LIMITED


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.

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.

Based on our understanding and accumulated knowledge of the group and the parent company and the sector in which it operates we considered the risk of acts by the group and the parent company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud and whether such actions or non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. These included but were not limited to those that relate to the form and content of the financial statements, such as the group and parent company accounting policies, UK accounting standards and UK Companies Act 2006. All team members were briefed to ensure they were aware of any relevant regulations in relation to their work.

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of override of controls, and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries, management bias in accounting estimates and improper revenue recognition associated with period-end cut-off. Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to:

- Agreement of the financial statements to underlying supporting documentation;
- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates;
- Revenue period-end cut-off procedures;
- Identifying and testing journal entries;
- Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with
laws and regulations and fraud; and
- Obtaining an understanding of the control environment in monitoring compliance with laws and regulations.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that 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, misrepresentations or through collusion.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.

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
DMA GROUP 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 29 SEPTEMBER 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

DMA Group 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 under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Report Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounting policies.

Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the accounts of DMA Group Limited and all of its subsidiary undertakings ('subsidiaries') drawn up to 29 September 2023. Intra-group transactions are eliminated on consolidation and all figures relate to external transactions only.

The results of subsidiaries acquired during the period are included from the effective date of acquisition.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of these financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events believed to be reasonable.

The directors consider that the following estimates and judgements are likely to have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Revenue recognition

The majority of quoted works have a term greater than one month. An assessment is made of the stage of completion of a project at a period end, requiring an element of judgement.

Estimation of useful life

The charge in respect of periodic amortisation and depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives of all assets are determined at the time the assets are acquired and reviewed at least annually for appropriateness. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.

Impairments

Judgements are made to the carrying value of intangible fixed assets. Where there are indicators of impairment, the company performs an impairment assessment by considering key factors such as performance, revenue secured, cost savings and projected future growth.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Turnover represents revenue earned under a wide variety of contracts to provide building, engineering and joinery services. Revenue is recognised as earned when, and to the extent that, the group obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance under these contracts. It is measured at the fair value of the right to consideration, which includes an appropriate element of attributable profit (exclusive of Value Added Tax).

Revenue is generally recognised as contract activity progresses so that for incomplete contracts it reflects the partial performance of the contractual obligations. For such contracts the amount of revenue recorded reflects the accrual of the right to consideration by reference to the value of work performed.

Intangible fixed assets and amortisation
Goodwill arising on acquisition represents the difference between the fair value of net assets acquired and the fair value of the consideration given. Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised within fixed assets in the year in which it arises and amortised on a straight line basis over its useful economic life, which is considered to be twenty years. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually.

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

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
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.

The company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when the cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

The estimated useful life range is as follows:

Freehold land and buildings-Nil
Plant and machinery-Between 10% and 20% on cost
Motor vehicles-20% on cost
Fixtures, fittings and equipment-10% on cost
Computer equipment-Between 10% and 33.3% on cost
Tenants improvements-10% on cost

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.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within 'other operating income' in the statement of comprehensive income.

Stocks and work in progress
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Short term contract work in progress has been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete less provision for any foreseeable losses. Progress payments received or receivable have been deducted from the value.

At each balance sheet 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 or loss.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 SEPTEMBER 2023


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Current and deferred 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 balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Hire purchase, leasing commitments and operating leases.
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Pensions
There are subsidiaries in the group where they operate 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 expense in the profit and loss account when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Valuation of investments
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment. Where merger relief is applicable, the cost of the investment in a subsidiary undertaking is measured at the nominal value of the shares issued together with the fair value of any additional consideration paid.

Long term contracts
The group classifies as long term contracts those which extend over more than one accounting period.

The amounts recognised as turnover represent the value of work carried out during the period. Where the outcome of the contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty, attributable profit is recognised in proportion to the amount of turnover recognised in the financial statements. Full provision is made for any foreseeable losses.

Amounts recoverable on contracts, which are included within debtors, are stated at the net sales value of work done after provision for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. Excess progress payments are included in creditors as payments on account.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Debtors
Debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Cash
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.

Creditors
Creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities including loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial instruments
The group only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at the present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration, expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised costs 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 profit and loss account.

For financial assets measured at amortised costs, 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 as 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 balance sheet date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an 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.

Invoice discounting facility
There are subsidiaries in the group who use an invoice discount facility and retains all significant benefits and risks relating to the debts. The gross amount of the debts are included within assets and a corresponding liability in respect of proceeds received from the facility are shown within liabilities. The interest and charges are recognised as they accrue and are included in the profit and loss account with other interest charges.

3. TURNOVER

All turnover arose within the United Kingdom.

The whole of turnover is attributable to the principal activities of the group.
