Strategic Report
Year Ended 31 March 2025
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the group is that of utility reinstatement and surfacing contractors relating to utility projects.
Fair review of the business
The financial year 24/25 has been another strong and sustained year of turnover and profitability.
Turnover started steady but gradually increased as the summer months moved into Autumn. This principally came from a new contract on electric faults in the south area and gas work increases for an SGN Tier One contractor in the South East.
Overall there has been a well rounded steady mix of turnover and profitability across all satellite depots and their associated geographical working zones. The majority of turnover have come from term contracts, providing regular large volume reinstatement project work along with a healthy mix of R&M fault work and project mains lay. This provided an increase to turnover figures during our quiet weeks and months due to the dynamic response required on fault work. The overall balance of R&M and project works remains at healthy ratios.
The remaining turnover has been made up of a large number of clients (some new, some existing) which has bolstered our efficiencies across our whole working region, all of which have been profitable in their own right too. Our only bad debt came from an energy regeneration utility company.
Investments
The group has invested in new vehicles, IT and general infrastructure (including depot improvements) at sensible levels. Assuming we continue with the current turnover volumes, vehicle investment should continue in this vain i.e.controlled, low volume but with regular investment to maintain our fleet portfolio.
The group has continued to payback the deferred consideration (loan notes) to the existing shareholders with a payback completion forecast within the next 3 years.
Group staffing structure from Senior Directors through to management, administration staff, and all in Operations is balanced and well mixed with lower than average staffing turnover. The fixed overhead ratios to sales volumes is working well.
There have been no significant changes in senior directorships apart from the resignation of Andrew Walton from the WCE board and the board of Trustees.
The group has a sustained and healthy supply chain and very good mix of clients, all of which are reviewed in regular (weekly and monthly) reviews.
Our largest contract on gas works in the Southwest is due for renewal in the next financial year 26/27. This could potentially be our biggest risk factor in the medium term.
In summary, a well balanced structure to all aspects of the business.

As described below, the future development of the group is subject to a number of principal business risks. Notwithstanding those risks, the directors are satisfied that the financial year to March 2026 will continue to be a successful period for the group.
Principal risks and uncertainties
At present we see no significant risk to the business due to our client mix, profitability, renewed staffing structure, overhead control and long term contract sustainability. We only see the potential of major political and economic instability at a global level to be our major risk into the year ended 2026.

Directors' Report
Year Ended 31 March 2025
The directors present their report and the for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Directors of the group
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The group's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances (including cash and bank loans), trade debtors and creditors, and hire purchase / finance lease obligations. The group's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The group's approach to dealing with these risks is shown below.
Credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk
Credit risk
The group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debtors. Trade debtors are recognised and carried at the lower of their original invoiced value and their recoverable amount. To manage this risk, the group performs credit checks on new customers, puts credit limits in place and actively manages its customer ledger and has credit insurance in place.
Liquidity risk
In order to maintain liquidity and ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the group has an invoice financing facility for certain customers, as well as external bank borrowings and finance lease obligations. The group actively manages its total net debt from such obligations against its current assets and future projections.
Cash flow risk
In the current financial year the net cash position has increased from £1.04m at 1 April 2024 to £1.37m as at 31 March 2025.
Future developments
The company has an ongoing commitment to development of staff through the continued reviewing of the staffing structure with internal promotions and ongoing training. Profitability has continued to remain at the same level into the 2026 year end as the directors continue to maintain a mix of clients as well as control overheads.

Disclosure of information to the auditor
Each director has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.

Miken Holdings Limited
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report 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 group and the company 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 apply them consistently; |
|
• |
make judgements 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; and |
|
• |
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 group's and the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and 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 group and the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Miken Holdings Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Miken Holdings Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Miken Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and 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 the parent company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 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 auditor 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 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 group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were 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 included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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.
Miken Holdings Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Miken Holdings Limited
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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
Opinion on other matter 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
|
• |
the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our 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 and the Directors' Report.
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 6, 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 is 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.
Miken Holdings Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Miken Holdings Limited
Auditor’s 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 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 detcting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
As part of our audit planning we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the company. We gained an understanding of the industry in which the group operates as part of this assessment to identify the key laws and regulations affecting the company. As part of this, we reviewed the group's website for indication of any regulations and certification in place and discussed these with the relevant individuals responsible for compliance. The key regulations we identified were the The New Roads an Street Works Act, as well as health and safety regulations, tax legislation and employment law. We also considered those laws and regulation that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006.
We discussed with management how the compliance with these laws and regulations is monitored and discussed policies and procedures in place. As part of our planning procedures, we assessed the risk of any non-compliance with laws and regulations on the company’s ability to continue operating and the risk of material misstatement to the accounts. Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved the following:
|
• |
Enquiries of management regarding their knowledge of any non-compliance with laws and regulations that could affect the financial statements. |
|
• |
Enquiries of management regarding their knowledge of any breaches of health and safety regulations, and review of Board meeting minutes for relevant matters identified. |
|
• |
Reviewed legal and professional costs to identify any possible non-compliance or legal costs in respect of non-compliance. |
As part of our enquiries, we discussed with management whether there had been any instances of known or alleged fraud, of which management confirmed there were none.
We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement through management override or fraud and obtained an understanding of the controls in place to mitigate the risk of fraud. We also evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. The key risks we identified were the reduction of tax liabilities and/or the overstatement of the financial position of the company for commercial purposes. Based upon our understanding we designed and conducted audit procedures including:
Miken Holdings Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Miken Holdings Limited
|
• |
Audited the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business. |
|
• |
Reviewed estimates and judgements made in the accounts for any indication of bias and challenged assumptions used by management in making the estimates. |
|
• |
Performed cut off procedures for revenue recognition both before the year end and after. |
|
• |
Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
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. 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 omissions, collusion, forgery, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are also less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements.
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.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the group'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 group's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 group and the group's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

General information |
The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England & Wales.
The address of its registered office is:
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the
|
Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The group's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS102 - the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. There are no material departures from FRS102.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention.
Summary of disclosure exemptions
The company has taken advantage of disclosure exemptions available in FRS 102 in respect of key management personnel compensation, financial instruments and the presentation of its individual cashflow statement..
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 March 2025.
As a consolidated profit and loss account is published, a separate profit and loss account for the parent company is omitted from the group financial statements by virtue of section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
The group was formed as a result of a share exchange by Miken Holdings Limited and Walton Civil Engineering and Surfacing Contractor Limited. As this constitutes a group restructure under FRS102, the financial statements have been prepared using merger accounting principles as if the group had been in existence for the current and previous financial periods.
Miken Holdings Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 March 2025
Going concern
The group has made a profit for the year of £1,251,522 and reported net current assets of £1,338,967 at the balance sheet date which includes a cash balance of £1,369,613. The group is highly profitable, but the nature of the business and sector makes reliable forecasting difficult. The group benefits from long-standing relationships with its key suppliers and customers.
On the basis of their assessment of the company’s financial position and resources, including the performance of the group since 31 March 2025, and having considered the impact of the wider economy and conditions in the sector the business operates, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors are satisfied that it remains appropriate for the group to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
Miken Holdings Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 March 2025
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key judgement that has a significant impact on the financial statements is in respect of going concern, as described above.
The key estimates that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are in respect of accrued income and the carrying value of tangible fixed assets, investment property valuation, trade debtor valuation and fiscal liabilities.
Accrued income is recognised with reference to the stage of completion of the job, which requires estimation as to the value of the work performed which has not yet been invoiced. The carrying amount is £81,833 (2024 - £37,243).
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any subsequent accumulated impairment loss. This requires an estimation in the depreciation rates used as well as assessment of the ongoing economic contribution of the assets of the company as to whether an indicator of impairment has occurred. The carrying amount is £1,308,512 (2024 - £1,074,481).
Trade debtors are recognised and carried at the lower of their original invoiced value and their recoverable amount. The group actively manages its customer ledger and has credit insurance in place for the majority of their customers. The carrying amount is £2,686,079 (2024 - £1,860,810).
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.
Revenue in respect of civil engineering services supplied is recognised with reference to the stage of completion of the contract. Stage of completion is measured with reference to the value of the work performed.
Tax
Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the group operates and generates taxable income.
Miken Holdings Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 March 2025
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the balance sheet date unless indicated below. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and the results as stated in the consolidated profit and loss account and other comprehensive income. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and assets under constructions, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
|
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
|
Plant and machinery |
25% reducing balance |
|
Fixtures and fittings |
25% reducing balance |
|
Motor vehicles |
25% reducing balance |
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at acquisition date of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquired, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. When a business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the group includes the estimated amount of that adjustment in the cost of the combination at the acquisition date if the adjustment is probable and can be measured reliably.
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries and other investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Stocks
Stock is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. The treatment of finance leases is as set out in the accounting policy for financial instruments detailed below.
Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lesees) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Defined contribution pension obligation
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for eligible staff. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account when they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
Financial instruments
Classification
• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Hire purchase and finance lease obligations; and
• Cash and bank balances.
All financial instruments are classified as basic.
Recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.
Except for hire purchase and finance lease obligations, such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
Assets held under hire purchases and finance lease are recognised at the lower of their fair value at inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. The asset is subsequently measured as discussed in the tangible fixed asset accounting policy above. Finance lease obligations are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
