STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The results for the year and financial position of the company are shown in the annexed financial statements.


2023 2022
£ £
Turnover 18,579,990 13,465,894
Cost of sales 9,731,000 8,277,879
Gross profit 8,848,990 5,188,015

Gross profit margin % 47.63 38.53

Profit on ordinary activities before taxation 4,588,344 1,898,365

% of profit on ordinary activities before taxation 24.70 14.10


The company traded well during the year with the highest turnover to date. Business levels have increased due to the company's reputation in the industry and commitment to delivering a high class and efficient service. The Directors are pleased to see that the gross profit margin has increased in the year to 47%. The directors are confident in the growth of the company through its investments into new plant and machinery and different service lines.

The company undertakes drainage and civil work nationwide and as such is exposed to significant fuel and power costs. The 2023 trading year has seen these costs level out following fluctuations in previous years due to the war in Ukraine and Brexit. The Directors continually monitor areas of exposure to reduce the risk of any negative impact on future trading.

The increase on previous margins are reflective of the continued improvements made by the directors and the DMJ team. The Directors are happy with the overall results of the company and its future prospects.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The company operates in a competitive market place of few customers and significant financial contracts. As such it is dependant upon the company to manage costs, quality of service and effective delivery of projects in order to maintain competitive. The company is therefore subject to a number of risks -

- Fuel and power costs
- Competitive pricing within the market
- Geographical location of work sites

These risks are being addressed by -

- The size and growth of the company making it able to purchase products at competitive prices
- The range of equipment and expertise of the team create a good reputation by providing a good service
- The flexibility of the company to move team members and plant around the country is attractive to Nationwide customers and can be assessed as an asset.

The UK economy is still recovering from the pandemic with uncertainty regarding inflation, interest rates and government policy changes.The company finance its operation through equipment finance, overdraft and loans. As with all financial instruments there are risks in respect of interest rates. In comparison to the size of the operation the interest rate risk is considered small and manageable by the company.

Due to the nature and size of contract there is an inherent risk in respect of debts due from customers. The company try to maintain a diversified portfolio of projects to minimise this exposure. The management team monitor economic conditions and their client base closely to allow them to quickly adapt to any adverse changes.


DMJ DRAINAGE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04182351)

STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The company continues to maintain its organic growth model for the drainage and civil work whilst exploring new service openings.

Contracts has been obtained to maintain the level of activity well into 2025 and beyond. The company has secured projects through 2024/2025 of circa £25,000,000. Agricultural drainage works has remained positive into 2024 with the higher rain fall securing a healthy order book through to Autumn 2024.

Investment in modern plant and machinery has continued beyond the year end to facilitate the awarded contracts.

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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
DMJ DRAINAGE LIMITED


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of DMJ Drainage Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 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.

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
DMJ DRAINAGE LIMITED


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:

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the organisation and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework (FRS102), the Companies Act 2006 and the relevant tax compliance.

We understood how the organisation is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management and those charged with governance, and we corroborated our enquiries by reviewing board minutes and reviewing third party correspondence, including correspondence with HMRC.

We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by meeting with management from various parts of the business to understand where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud. We considered the controls that the organisation has established to address risks identified, or that otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud and also reviewed how these had operated in the year.

Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk along with procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations identified in the paragraphs above along with areas where management override of controls may be relevant. These procedures included assessing the appropriateness of presentation of separately disclosed items with a focus on manual journals and journals indicating large or unusual transactions based on our understanding of the organisation. These procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from material fraud or error.

We also considered the risk associated with completeness of income and whether this could have a material impact on the financial statements. We also considered the risk associated with completeness of income and work in progress valuation and whether these could have a material impact on the financial statements. Work was targeted in these areas.

We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The audit was planned to ensure that the more complex areas were performed by more experienced members of the audit team and there were no areas of the audit which were considered to require external experts to be appointed by the audit team.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

DMJ Drainage 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Significant judgements and estimates
The director make estimates and assumptions about the future. These estimates and assumptions impact recognised assets and liabilities, as well as revenue, expenses and other disclosures. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various assumptions considered reasonable under the prevailing conditions. The actual outcome may diverge from these estimates if other assumptions are made, or other conditions arise. The estimates and assumptions that may have a significant effect on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the financial year include:

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairments. Depreciation takes place over the estimated useful life, down to the assessed residual value. The carrying amount of the company's fixed assets is tested as soon as changed conditions show that the need for a revaluation or impairment review has arisen.

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

In respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services, turnover represents the value of work done in the year, including estimates of amounts not invoiced. Turnover in respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion.

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

Website - amortisation rate - 33% straight line

Property, plant and equipment
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Freehold property - not provided
Tenants improvements - 1% on cost
Plant and machinery - 15% on reducing balance
Drainage equipment - 15% on reducing balance and 5% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance
Office equipment - 33% on cost and 15% on reducing balance

Freehold property contains only land and as such is not depreciated.

Inventories and work in progress
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport and handling costs in bringing inventories to their present location and condition.

Work in progress is valued on the basis of direct costs plus attributable overheads based on a normal level of activity. Provision is made for any foreseeable losses where appropriate. No element of profit is included in the valuation of work in progress.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

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

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

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

Research and development
Where expenditure on research and development does not meet the criteria for capitalisation it is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

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

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

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, fixed asset investments are revalued or impaired periodically on an open market basis by the Directors.
