GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
Year ending April 2024 was again a positive year for the Group with our turnover increasing to £7,036,218 generating a pre-tax profit of £931,418, adding to an already strong balance sheet. Our borrowings have continued to reduce over this period.
Overheads have remained relatively static, despite a challenging environment with rising wages and raw material costs and increasing premises costs. Our policy for 2023-24 was to consolidate our operation and reduce borrowings, which we feel we have achieved. We have continued the investment to fully digitise our management system, with us achieving 100% digitisation with-in this year. Having live UpToDate management information is key to continually improving the efficiency of the business and improving margins, which is represented by being able to achieve 13.23% pre-tax profit Our EBITDA is £1,546,884 compared with £1,481,800 in the previous accounting period. Social value investment continued throughout FY 23-24, in such schemes as contributing to Ronald McDonald House, Cancer Trust, Lighthouse Charity, Christies Hospice and employee backed schemes. We have embarked on setting our ESG policy in 2024-25 where targeted social values will remain a key part. The principal activity of the Group remains to be the erect and hire of scaffolding to main contractors and owner developers. Our projects run from multimillion pound contracts through to smaller local commercial schemes. The directors decision to reverse out of the new build residential/social housing market remains, due to the over competitive market conditions with smaller scaffolding companies competing and driving sales down, coupled with a volatile seasonable nature producing a much reduced margin and poor returns. During FY 2023-24 we secured and started £8.6m of projects, with an average contract value of £168k and the largest being £3.4m. Our forward order book for FY 2024-25 stands at £9.8m of projects( which are underway), with a further £4.9m of projects in the design phase, which we fully expect to start with-in this coming financial year. In addition we are in extended negotiation (pre-contract meeting) with a further £500k. We operate mainly within the North West UK, however we had specific projects in the South West (Cornwall, Plymouth, Cardiff), Leeds, Newcastle upon Lyme, Leicester, London and Bristol. Throughout FY 23-24 we continued to target specific infrastructure (bridge) contracts, whilst continuing to steadily grow (albeit modestly) our market share of rail contracts. We see this sector as our biggest growth through the next 4 years. We secured and started the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge (Bristol) with-in this FY 23-24. Our achieved T/O of the infrastructure and rail projects during FY 23-24 amounted to just over £500K, FY 24-25 we expect this to rise to £1.5m. We are a fully audited NASC (National Access Scaffolding Confederation) member, we have several audited SIPPS and are fully RISQ (rail) audited. Our employee base remains to be fully employed status. Despite labour shortages, we are still of the opinion this is the best policy for the company to engage and grow employees through our in-house apprenticeship. We employed 19 labourers and PT1 scaffolders, (figure at the end of the financial year) who we fully expect to move through the business during 2024-25, with the aim of them being fully trained scaffolders with-in 2 years. Our training plan demonstrates all employees are enrolled in further education and CPD.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
Health and safety is a key part of our business and is a major key performance indicator for our clients. We have strengthened our health and safety department with a further new appointment and are pleased to confirm we have continued to improve our incident rates, which has been rewarded with a reduction year on year of our insurance premiums.
Our investment over the past 5 years in system scaffolding (£4.6m) has continued to prove fruitful to the business, reducing labour times (erecting of the scaffolding), contributing to our already improving safety record and reducing overall time period for training. Continuing this investment is key to the continued growth and success of the business and assists in mitigating the risks and uncertainties the construction is facing/will face.
Liquidity risk:
The Group manages its cash and borrowing requirements in order to maximise interest income and minimise interest expense, whilst ensuring the company has sufficient liquid resources to meet the operating needs of the business. The Group manages the risk by maintaining regular contact with existing finance providers to evaluate options in future funding decisions. Interest rate risk: The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on Current Account. The Group manages the risk by constantly monitoring their policies to ensure that they are not exposed to short term interest rate movements. Credit risk: The Group is not exposed to a high degree of credit risk as surplus funds are minimised due to working capital requirements. These are then retained in either a short term current account or call deposit account as agreed by the Board of Directors. The Group manages this risk by continuously considering the credit ratings of financial institutes that they have relationships with. Given the political uncertainty in the past few years, ( post Covid, Brexit ), we remain cautious in relation to projects moving from the design phase to starting on site. This has been a slow process, with various reasons for delay, ranging from client uncertainty, raw material costs (increasing overall build costs) new legislation (regarding to cladding refurbishment/replacement due to Grenfell fallout) to planning issues, causing projects to slip from expected start dates. This has caused some difficulty in predicting cashflow, with expected funds slipping and having to expediate existing projects to fill the gap. Whilst the political landscape seems settled for the next 4 years or so, we feel that construction will improve, however we remain cautious for the short term and the previous slippage will be continually monitored. However, our forward order book, expansion in new sectors, investment in system scaffolding, fully digitising the management systems, and strong pipeline of new business means we are well poised to face future challenges. Given the above, our policy for the past year and for this next 2024-25 FY, is to continue to repay financial commitments, continue to reduce borrowings, to enable us to have a cash surplus by FY end 24-25.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
The directors have prepared detailed cashflow forecasts, budgets and with a strong pipeline of projects (including forward order book) for the next 12 months, all demonstrate that the business will remain profitable, and will continue to reduce borrowings leaving a positive cash position at the year-end 2024-25.
The business monitors the cashflow, as part of its daily control procedures, and the directors consider the cash and future requirements of the business on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate funds are available. The business has assumed the current available support will continue and accordingly consider it appropriate that the accounts are prepared on an ongoing concern basis. T/O increased by £317,924 (4.7% increase). Operating Profit increased by £57,144 (4.7% increase). Wages reduced (despite a rising labour cost), meaning we are achieving an increased margin by continual efficiency drives.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WAYNE CONNOLLY HOLDINGS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Wayne Connolly Holdings Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 30 April 2024, which comprise the Consolidated statement of income and retained earnings, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Company balance sheet, the Consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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).
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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
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 or 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WAYNE CONNOLLY HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Directors' report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WAYNE CONNOLLY HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 an Auditors' report 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 Group 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 of the company and sector, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance
with laws and regulations related to the Companies Act 2006 and the UK tax legislation and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We evaluated management incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements and determined that the principal risks were related to management bias in accounting estimates and judgements, revenue recognistion and going concern. Our procedures to respond to risks identified include making enquiry of management and those charged with governance, reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to support documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations, auditing the risk of management overide of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness.
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 Auditors' 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 an Auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
Wayne Connolly Holdings Limited is a private company limited by shares, registered in the United Kingdom number 06480383. Its registered office is E1-E2 Lyntown Trading Estate, Eccles, Manchester, M30 9QG. During the year the principal activity of the company continued to be that of a holding company for Connolly Scaffolding Limited, who provide scaffolding.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK 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 Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of income and retained earnings in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated statement of income and retained earnings from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the Group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 01 April 2005.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
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 in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
The Group has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Balance sheet when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other financial instruments
Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Group transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Group will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
