GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024
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.
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).
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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WOLCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED
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 policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

WOLCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WOLCOR HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Group financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
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.
