GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 September 2024.

This strategic report forms only part of the group's annual accounts and reports. A person entitled to receive a full copy of the group's annual accounts and reports can obtain them by contacting Mr C J Lomas using the contact details given on the following website: www.cjlconstruction.com.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Our group operates in the construction industry which comprises building, contracting, civil engineering, plant hire and operating landfill sites. The majority of our work relates to providing services to major homebuilders in the South West of England.

As directors, we aim to present a balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of our business during the year and its position at the year end. Our review is consistent with the size and non-complex nature of our business.

The group continues to operate in the construction industry and we consider our key financial performance indicators to be those which communicate the performance and strength of the group as a whole. These are as follows:

2024 2023 2022
£ £ £
Sales 53,654,697 65,273,668 70,651,784
Gross Profit 7,175,493 11,109,022 12,024,690
Profit Before Tax 4,437,926 7,189,668 8,127,649
Profit After Tax 3,477,463 5,578,177 6,638,292
Net Assets 58,878,709 57,401,246 53,823,069

Liquidity % 689.24 607.15 444.74

There has continued to be pressures from both customers and suppliers on prices. However, the group's aim of providing a market leading service to its customers has helped to ensure that it remains financially steady and able to react to both customer and supplier demands.

A constant review of processes coupled with increased use of technology has helped to maintain a high level of service to customers and limit the impact on margins.

The group has continued its commitment to retaining reserves within the group to help ensure that it has adequate liquid resources for future investment and a strong net assets position to remain financially viable for a long term future.This is reflected in its increased liquidity in the current year.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
As for many businesses, the economy, particularly with inflation, has been challenging during the year and continues to be so. However, the group has adapted to the conditions and continued to trade successfully. With the financial strength we have built over the years, the relationships with customers and the positive expectations moving forward, we are well placed to continue managing the economic uncertainty and fast changing environment.

The financial stability of our major customers is crucial to the financial stability of our group and this presents a risk outside of our control. To minimise this risk we ensure that we conduct our business within the contractual terms agreed with our customers. We also work closely with our large and frequent customers so that we are aware of their plans for future development. We can then make sure that we provide a cost effective and efficient service to them.

The collection of retentions from customers as they fall due continues to be a risk. However, the group has procedures in place to ensure these are recovered and so we have encountered no major issues in this respect.

Labour requirements and operational overheads are reviewed and monitored constantly and carefully. Management accounts for subsidiaries are also prepared and reviewed on a monthly basis to ensure profits are achieved.

Health and Safety is also crucial to the construction industry. The group has a number of procedures in place to ensure the safety of individuals on the construction sites. These include use of Health and Safety examiners, annual audits by the public liability insurance company, a full time Health & Safety manager, a requirement for all appropriate employees to have CSCS cards, monthly site visits from a safety consultancy firm and risk assessments.

In addition, compliance with the Environment Agency regulations is crucial, particularly to the landfill sites held by the group. Procedures for ensuring that the regulations are adhered to include the inspection and monitoring of the necessary paperwork by management, quarterly checks by an independent external environmental consultant and annual Environment Agency inspections.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
Under the Companies Act 2006 s172, a company director must ensure they act in a way they consider, in good faith, to most likely promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole. In doing so, they must have regard, amongst other matters, to the following:

a) the likely consequences of any decision in the long term,
b) the interest of the company's employees,
c) the need to foster the company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others,
d) the impact of the company's operations on the community and the environment,
e) the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct, and
f) the need to act fairly as between members of the company.

As directors of the Group, and in light of the considerations above, we also consider the interests of local communities surrounding our site locations and the impact our work will have within those local areas.

We do this by maintaining an integral role as directors within the day-to-day management of the Group and overseeing financial performance alongside other strategic matters formally on a monthly basis. This includes reviewing business risks, environmental matters, health and safety and other compliance matters. Maintaining a healthy balance sheet, including sufficient cash reserves, also allows us to be in the best position to support the Group's long-term strategies.

Maintaining a key role in day-to-day management enables open communication with our employees, which ensures that we maintain our key values. In return, we are fair to employees in terms of support and remuneration and are especially keen to develop and promote internally. Employee welfare is considered by the Management Team with the importance of retaining staff a priority.

As an established Group within the construction industry, we work closely with both our customers and suppliers to ensure successful long-term relationships. This allows us to develop an open line of communication and consider their priorities where possible to maintain and develop supply chain relationships. Subsequently, this allows us to deliver a quality service in a timely manner, through established connections.

Across our construction sites we engage with relevant stakeholders but most notably with our customers and government agencies to ensure that measures are taken to help minimise the impact of our activities and, where possible, to enhance the environment for local residents.

Maintaining the reputation of the Group is of high importance to the directors and so we promote a professional, honest and open attitude throughout our work. The directors ensure appropriate action is taken where employee actions fall below the standards expected of them.

The management continue to consider stakeholder needs throughout decision-making processes and effective communication across the board ensures this. However, it must be noted that there are occasions where it is not always possible to fully align all stakeholder needs and a pragmatic approach is adopted.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The group has sufficient financial resources together with numerous contracts in place at the year end with a number of customers. As a result, the directors believe the group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully.

The directors believe that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

UNQUALIFIED ACCOUNTS
The auditor's report on pages 7 to 9 gives an unqualified opinion on the annual accounts. As required by Companies Act 2006 section 496, the auditor's report also provides an unqualified opinion confirming specifically that the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report is consistent with the accounts.

2. Intensity Ratio
To convert absolute emissions to an emissions intensity metric, CJL Construction Ltd have calculated emissions per a relevant unit of measure.

An intensity ratio is a way of defining CJL Construction Ltd emissions data in relation to an appropriate business metric, such as tonnes of CO2e per sales revenue, or tonnes of CO2e per total square metres of floor space. This allows comparison of energy efficiency performance over time and with other similar types of organisations.

SECR Intensity ratios are calculated by dividing CJL Construction Ltd emissions by its organisation-specific metric.
In this instance the intensity ratio used for CJL Construction Ltd is £M Turnover for the reporting period

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group 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 then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

24 June 2025

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
CJL HOLDINGS (SW) LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of CJL Holdings (SW) Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 30 September 2024 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 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 UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
CJL HOLDINGS (SW) LIMITED


Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the 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 Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept 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.
- in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
CJL HOLDINGS (SW) LIMITED


Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page eight, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the 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.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. This includes assessing the risk of non-compliance with laws and regulations, evaluating management incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements and management bias in accounting estimates.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included, but were not limited to:
- enquiries with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations
- reviewing transactions and journal entries to identify those that may appear outside the normal course of business
- reviewing and reconciling inter-group balances
- challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates, in particular, in relation to provisions, stock values and accruals.

We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006.

In conducting the work above, we continue to apply due care and professional scepticism throughout. However, there are limitations within the procedures outlined above and 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 concealment.

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
CJL HOLDINGS (SW) LIMITED

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

All figures shown within the financial statements are in pounds sterling.

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

Revenue is recognised through the monthly valuations undertaken in accordance with the agreed contract on all active sites. Each valuation reflects all work done to that date.

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

Licences are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of five years.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery - 15% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 15% on cost
Motor vehicles - 20% on cost
Computer equipment - at varying rates on cost

Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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

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

Stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.

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

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

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

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

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

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

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities.
