STRATEGIC REPORT
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

The board of Directors have pleasure in presenting their strategic report for the year ended 31st March 2024.

Principal Activities

Beattie FRC Limited is a civil engineering firm specialising in Formwork; Rebar and Concrete works. The business also offers a number of other construction solutions including groundworks and scaffolding etc.

Business Review

Beattie FRC Limited saw a 66.1% decrease in profit (to £1,009,089 (£2,976,230 in 2023)) with turnover falling 50.4% (to £8,907,397 (£17,944,938 in 2023)) from the prior year.

Operating profit also contracted by £2,268,072 to £1,344,747 compared to £3,612,819 in the preceding year.

The decrease in profitability and fall in turnover when compared to 2023 is attributable to some of the larger and more profitable projects coming to an end i.e. the Aberdeen Harbour Expansion Project and the Edinburgh Trams Extension.

Whilst we remain focussed on controlling overheads, direct costs, particularly labour costs have proven difficult to manage due to the shortage of skilled operatives in the labour market.

Current assets have fallen by 24.5% principally due to the drop in cash at bank whilst trade debtors remain in line with previous years. The above decline in current assets has been balanced by a 24.2% fall in current liabilities. This reduction is attributable to falls in Trade Creditors; Taxation (including Social Security and Other Taxes); VAT and Accrued Expenses.

There are no liquidity concerns whatsoever with such a high and stable cash at bank balance and the company experiencing negligible bad debts.

Key Performance Indicators: 2024 2023

Turnover £8,907,397 £17,944,938

Gross Profit Margin 40.30% 35.37%

Net Profit Margin 11.33% 16.59%

Quarterly management accounts are prepared to gauge the continued success whilst micro analysis of individual projects handled by the firm is carried out to ensure margins are maintained and each job is worthwhile and contributing to the overall success.

Beattie FRC Ltd is a family business and the owners adopt a very hands approach.

In this way, deep rooted relationships have been forged with a great many customers who not only value the capability and professionalism that is offered, but also the personal friendships. Customer satisfaction is typified by these long lasting relationships and the repeat business that ensues.

Strategy and Outlook

The business strategy is to remain at the forefront of the UK civil engineering industry providing safe construction solutions. We also endeavour to continue to build new customer relations whilst maintaining existing ones.

Beattie FRC Limited has always been engaged on a variety of projects ranging in value from a few thousand to several million.

The last few years has seen Beattie FRC Limited engaged on enormous projects which have now completed. This is allowing us to push on with the development of our Groundworks side of the business.

As it stand, we continue to win tenders and look to have our books full for the remainder of 2025 and well into 2026.


BEATTIE FRC LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: SC593527)

STRATEGIC REPORT
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

Risk and Uncertainties

Margin Erosion - as intimated previously, the shortage of skilled operatives in the labour market is of major concern. Through continued training of our operatives, we have managed to maintain a capable workforce despite the industry typical labour turnover and shortages.

Having such good relations with customers has allowed us to articulate these difficulties and pass the additional costs to our customers allowing us to maintain margins.

Supply Chain - again, labour market shortages (due to Brexit / construction being less popular with the youth of today) have been addressed through a combination of labour rate increases; training and budgetary discussions with clients.

Competition - the construction industry is flooded with transient firms pricing at levels that is unsustainable. We maintain our prices and margins safe in the knowledge that we can deliver to our customer's satisfaction.

Industry Conditions - much of our work is on government projects meaning that (for the most part) whilst the business is not subject to cyclical / seasonal trade, it is at the mercy of government policy. Aligned with developing other areas of expertise, we are attempting to move into the private sector and build relationships and a client base there.

W Beattie - Director


22 November 2024

BEATTIE FRC LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: SC593527)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of the construction of roads and motorways.

DIVIDENDS
An interim dividend of £3,167 per share was paid on 31 March 2024. The director recommends that no final dividend be paid.

The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 March 2024 will be £ 950,000 .

DIRECTOR
W Beattie held office during the whole of the period from 1 April 2023 to the date of this report.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 director is 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 he 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 company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Curle & Co, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





W Beattie - Director


22 November 2024

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
BEATTIE FRC LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Beattie Frc Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, 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 March 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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 Director 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 Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
BEATTIE FRC 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 Director.

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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of director
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page four, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has 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:

The Company is subject to laws and regulations that directly and indirectly affect the financial statements. Based on our understanding of the Company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to general legislation and breaches of health & safety regulation. We considered the extent to which non-compliance with these laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statement such as the Companies Act 2006. 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 journal entries to manipulate revenue and profit. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

- discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations including fraud;
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims
- Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;
- challenging assumptions and judgements made by management, in their significant accounting estimates, particularly in relation to the value of accrued income and expenses
- identifying and testing journal entries, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, backdated journals and journals with unusual descriptions.

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
BEATTIE FRC LIMITED

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery - 25% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the different between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the assets, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Financial instruments
The company only has basic financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their
settlement value.

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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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.

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.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the company's policies, the director is 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 t accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affect only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

4. TURNOVER

The turnover and profit before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the company.

Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must be met before it is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

- the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
- it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
- the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
- the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
