GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

Introduction
 
The principal activity of the company is that of a holding company for a group of construction companies, operating in different sectors, predominantly in London and M25 corridor market. 

Business review
 
Whilst it is evident to all involved that the construction market remains challenging and susceptible to price rises in both materials and labour, the diverse markets that the group companies work within, allow Wolcor to manage risk across the whole industry, rather than just single sectors. This reduces any impact that a single company within the group, could have on the whole. 
We see good potential for Wolcor to continue to help the companies within the group to grow in an organic and controlled way over the coming year, providing the controls and management structures to allow them all to flourish. 
We remain positive about both our industry and our businesses.
Review of business performance
The Directors chose to change the reporting period of the Group to bring all companies in line for ease of future reporting. The results for the period show an operating profit of £27,135 (Jun 2023 - loss £3,240,372) and a pre-tax profit of £102,546 (Jun 2023 - loss £3,211,833).

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The key business risks and uncertainties that face the Group are related to the volatile market conditions, and the failure within the various supply chains, which brings uncertainty to Clients and investors alike.  
The Board will continue to monitor the financial performance of the companies within the Group as well as applying appropriate Health & Safety expertise. 
The Directors of Wolcor Holdings Limited continue to remain committed and in control of the businesses within the group and remains a live company for future work.

Financial key performance indicators
 
The gross profit of the company for the current period is 8.36% compared to 0.2% for the period ended 30 June 2023. The current ratio has reduced to 1.07:1 (Jun 2023 - 1.20:1).


This report was approved by the board on 12 September 2025 and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the period ended 31 October 2024.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group strategic report, the Directors' report and the consolidated 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 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 for the Group'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 Group 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 the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006They 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.

Results and dividends

The loss for the period, after taxation and minority interests, amounted to £287,809 (2023 -loss £2,500,643).

During the year the company paid dividends of £311,640 (2023 - £532,940). The directors do not recommend the payment of any further dividends.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WOLCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Wolcor Holdings Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the period ended 31 October 2024, which comprise the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Company balance sheet, the Consolidated statement of cash flows, the Consolidated statement of changes in equity, the Company statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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's affairs as at 31 October 2024 and of the Group's profit for the period 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 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.


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 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.


Other information


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 ReportOur 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WOLCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)


Opinion 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 Directors' report for the financial period 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.


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 Directors' report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 2, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WOLCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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 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:
To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud (“fraud risks”) we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:
• Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company and the sector in   
            which they operate.
• Obtained an understanding of how the company are complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by 
            making enquiries to the management of the company’s accounting department, and management itself.
• The susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement caused by fraud or other 
            irregularities were assessed with the following procedures:
        o    Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls which management have in place to prevent                            .                      and detect fraud.                                                                               
             o       Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of 
                        controls and management biases
             o       Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account 
                        combinations
  o       Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations
    o       Assessing the extent to which pressures existed which may have increased the risk of fraudulent revenue 
                        recognition
Potential fraud risks that had been identified throughout the planning and commencement of the audit were communicated to the audit team. 
The inherent limitations of audit present an unavoidable risk that we, the auditors, may not have detected some material misstatements within the financial statements despite proper planning and performance of our duties as auditors. Equally, there remains a risk of the non-detection of fraud which could involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. The audit procedures carried out are designed to detect material misstatements within the financial statements, and as such we take no responsibility for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.


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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

1.


General information

Wolcor Holdings Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated in England, United Kingdom. The
address of the registered office is Suite D, The Business Centre, Faringdon Avenue, Romford, Essex, RM3 8EN. The place of business is 1st Floor, 99 Bishopsgate, London, EC2M 3XD. The principal activity of the company is that of a holding company. The company was incorporated on 14 June 2023 and the group was created on this date.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

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 accounts have been produced with roundings to the nearest £1.

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 comprehensive income in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Basis of consolidation

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 comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

Comparatives for the group are for the subsidiary Corley + Woolley Limited only and are as at 30 June 2023.

 
2.3

Going concern

In arriving at their conclusion on going concern, the directors have given due consideration to whether the funding and liquidity resources available are sufficient to accommodate the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the group. The directors have prepared workload forecasts for the subsidiary companies based on reasonable assumptions and the directors’ best estimates of the timing of income from contracts. For the subsidiary in a creditors’ voluntary arrangement, the directors have been conservative in their provision of amounts recoverable on long-term contracts but the total amounts claimed are in excess of the accounts provision. If all amounts due to the company are recovered, it is the directors’ expectation that the subsidiary will be able to meet the terms of the voluntary arrangement. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the approval of the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Revenue

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

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

Full provision is made for losses on all contracts in the year in which they are first forseen.

 
2.5

Operating leases: the Group as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.6

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.7

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.8

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

Defined benefit pension plan
The company operates a defined small self-administered scheme (SSAS) for certain employees. A defined 
benefit plan defines the pension benefit that the employee will receive on retirement. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan.
The cost of the defined benefit SSAS recognised in profit or loss as employee costs comprises:
a) the company contributions to fund the specific pension calculated during the year; and
b) the cost of plan set up, specialist acturial calculations and administration.
The company contributions will be limited to those calculated by the scheme actuary for an appropriate level of annual pension. Once the contributions have been paid by the company to fund a specific pension, the company has no further payment obligations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.9

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits;
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.10

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using an apprpriate basis..

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Motor vehicles
-
25%
reducing balance
Office equipment
-
3 year straight line

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.

 
2.11

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.12

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.13

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

 
2.14

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.15

Financial instruments

The Group 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 Group's Balance sheet when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 
2.16

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgments and estimates. The items
in the financial statements where these judgments and estimates have been made include amounts recoverable on
long-term contracts valued at £2,521,179 
(Jun 2023 - £3,379,149) and cost of sales accruals valued at £3,512,021
(Jun 2023 - £5,596,484).
