STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.
We turned the year in a strong position in respect of turnover secured and the tender pipeline remained strong. Special Works had record year with a turnover of £18.4M and profit of 12%. Turnover targets were also achieved within London Division.
We submitted 125 tenders against a target of 120 and the year also saw an increased number of opportunities received through either direct award or negotiation. Turnover for the year was £54M with a profit before tax of £455k. The turnover budget for 2025 is £54.0m of which we have currently secured £33.0m at the end of March 2025 which is based on actual contract awards and probable awards, i.e. where we have been advised by clients that we are the preferred contractor and just await formal appointment. This is behind last year’s figure however we have over thirty projects for which we are awaiting a result. There were no significant contractual issues on any of our current contracts and very few problematical projects. In London one of the historical projects has been resolved with an Adjudication decision being awarded in our favour on 11 March 2025 and the remaining old accounts primarily agreed. This leaves one further historical project to close out the remaining defects and agree the final account which is in progress. The cash position remained well managed throughout the year and we had no bad debts. There were no reportable accidents or environmental incidents. We completed a refresh of our procedures and policies to ensure they meet the requirements of the business and have invested in technological solutions and a new resource management software that will reduce the administrative burden and make us more efficient, provide better data and make us more competitive. With a few minor exceptions all projects contributed positively towards the financial performance for the year with profits meeting Business Plan targets. Results and performance on some projects were affected within the year due to supply chain partners going into liquidation or receivership. We have amended our procedures and monitor more closely how work is awarded to our supply chain.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The construction industry continues to suffer from main contractors and sub-contractors ceasing to trade. The majority of companies lost within the industry have been caused by long term contracts and significant losses from high inflation and price rises.
Government expenditure is expected to remain high within our core markets of education and healthcare however potentially on smaller value projects. We have aligned our overheads with an expected turnover in 2025 whilst maintaining the capabilities of the business. We will continue to scrutinise contract conditions and ensure we avoid unreasonable risks and resist taking on projects that will not provide an adequate commercial return. We will avoid long term projects where increased costs due to changes in market supply and demand could significantly increase costs disproportionately. We will continue to closely monitor our supply chains performance and financial positions to ensure that any one company is not over committed with us which may affect us should they cease trading.
Key Performance Indicators are set each year for the Company and each of the operating divisions. The scores are reviewed on a regular basis at the division and at monthly management meetings.
The number of tenders received where a price was submitted was 125 that was slightly above our target of 120. The number of projects which were cash positive was 77% but still less than our target of 100% and the average value of new orders was £1.17M. The percentage of projects completing on time was 92% but was still lower than the target of 100%. We completed 132 days of training with our employees that was an increase on our target of 100.
The strategy and targets for 2025 reflect the underlying performance of each of the operating divisions, the order book and the expected market conditions. Each division has prepared a business plan setting out their particular targets and objectives. These have been consolidated into a company business plan.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙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 to 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.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £322,468 (2023 - £106,380).
During the year, dividends totalling £38,937 (2023 - £27,331) were paid.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The Company's greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption for the year are:
Measures taken to improve energy efficiency: The PV array, installed on our roof in November 2023, had it's first full year of operation in 2024. We installed 2no. 7kw car chargers in our car park in December 2024, allowing current hybrid and EV owners to charge their vehicles, as well as encouraging more members of staff to adopt PHEVs/EVs. The number of hybrid and EVs in the business increased by 47% in 2024, from 15 to 22. Method of calculations: The figures for 2024 have been calculated wholly using the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero's Carbon Emission Factors, which now completely supersede the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Reporting metric previously used. For the sake of comparable data sets, we have created a custom calculator, based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol's tool, to which previous years' data can be easily plugged into.

BORRAS CONSTRUCTION LIMITED
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The emissions factors sourced from the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero are updated annually, to reflect the UK's real time carbon footprint (which constantly changes as factors such as the mix of renewable and fossil fuel sources of energy from our grid change). Going forward, each year's updated emission factors will be built into this calculator.
Directors’ liability and indemnity insurance was in force throughout the year to cover the directors and officers of
the company against action brought against them in their personal capacity. Neither the insurance nor the indemnity provide cover where the individual has acted fraudulently or dishonestly.
The auditor previously traded through the legal entity MacIntyre Hudson LLP. In response to regulatory changes,
MacIntyre Hudson LLP ceased to hold an audit registration with engagement transitioning to MHA Audit Services LLP. MHA will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BORRAS CONSTRUCTION LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Borras Construction Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of changes in equity 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 Auditor's 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 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 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 AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BORRAS CONSTRUCTION LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's 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 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 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 Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report or the Directors' report.

BORRAS CONSTRUCTION LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BORRAS CONSTRUCTION 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 Auditor's 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 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:
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
∙Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
∙Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
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 Auditor's report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
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.
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.
Individual freehold and leasehold properties are carried at current year value at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the Balance Sheet date. Accordingly, no depreciation has been charged.
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers, or by the directors. Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by external valuers, or by the directors and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 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 Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Statement of financial position when the Company 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 debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) 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.

BORRAS CONSTRUCTION LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
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
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
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 instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). 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 creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors 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.
Amounts recoverable on long term contracts, which are included in debtors, are stated at the net sales value of the work done after provision for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. All costs to accrue are included within trade creditors. Unbilled retentions have been recognised in turnover in the profit and loss account.
Materials held at the year end for specific contracts are included at the lower of cost and net realisable value within amounts recoverable on contracts. These are released at net realisable value once the work is invoiced.
All turnover arose within the United Kingdom.
