STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Fair review of the business, including development and performance

Seacon Limited is a construction company engaged exclusively with undertaking high quality bespoke projects for private clients, predominantly to their own homes located within Central London and the home counties.

Projects are usually complex in nature, often involving extensive structural interventions to existing buildings combined with the provision of fine quality finishes, executed to the most exacting of standards. The company’s ability to deliver such projects consistently and collaboratively since its formation in 2007 has resulted in the vast majority of the company's workload being secured by recommendation and negotiation.

Turnover in the year has aligned with our forecast at the end of 2023, slightly exceeding the £35m that was projected, and has seen an increase to the key performance indicators as shown below:

Net assets

The core values and ethos that the company has developed and established since its formation and the strength of its liquidity and financial standing continue to serve it well, enabling the company to retain its team of highly skilled and committed individuals who have established Seacon as an exceptional construction company within the highest quality private residential sector. The retention and wellbeing of the staff, and the recognition of their loyalty and value to the company, remains at the heart of the business and is always of key importance to the directors.
Notwithstanding that conditions remained challenging throughout the year, the company still managed to realise an acceptable level of profit for the year whilst continuing to secure several excellent new projects, resulting in another strong order book throughout 2025, with some of these secured projects expected to run through until Q2/Q3 2027. These particular projects require some sizeable structural interventions prior to the installation of the finer, and more expensive, finishes being installed. As such we anticipate that there may be a slight reduction to the company's turnover in 2025, due to the sequential nature of the structural works involved, followed by an increase in turnover in 2026.
The company's philosophy of only undertaking a set number of projects at any one time in order to maintain the consistency and high quality of service that our clients require, and then continuing that client relationship post-completion with the services provided by our Aftercare Team, remain core strengths of the business. Strengths that are underpinned by the company's exceptionally high level of staff retention and the relationships that it has established and fostered with many of the very best specialist and artisan trades teams in the private residential sector of the industry.

SEACON LIMITED
STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The company re-established its' 3A-1 credit rating during the year, demonstrating an excellent payment record with all of its supply chain at all times.
The directors were delighted to continue the company's support of the Kensington & Chelsea Foodbank as well as forging an exciting new relationship with The Harrow Club, a community based youth organization operating youth clubs in west London, and we look forward to continuing this support in 2025.
Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risks which the directors consider the company will be exposed to during 2025 and that could impact upon its operations, include:

- Skilled labour shortages remains a challenge for the entire construction industry and we therefore continue to seek to establish, and retain, the strongest relations with the very best trades teams in our sector.

- Competition – Whilst the company has established an excellent reputation within the high quality private residential sector, and this has been a significant factor in the securing of much of our workload, price remains a key consideration for many clients and we must therefore ensure that we continue to always offer representative value for the high quality of service that we provide.

- Political landscape – There are some signs that the current government’s fiscal policies may be softening the private residential market and that this may have some ramifications in the next 1-2 years, with clients deciding to either pause or postpone their projects.

Future developments

Whilst there are continued risks and uncertainties that require continued strong and focused management by the directors, there is every expectation that 202 4 will be another positive year for the company.

The company has established an excellent reputation within the high quality private residential sector and continues to receive a high volume of new project enquiries. The company retains a very strong balance sheet and, based upon workload already secured, a turnover of circa £35m looks likely to be achieved in 2024. Most importantly, the company retains an exceptional team of highly skilled individuals who are tremendously loyal to the company and are fully committed to delivering every project to an exemplary standard. Investment in the company’s personnel, both in terms of retaining the existing team and attracting more like-type individuals to further compliment and support the team, remains a constant priority for the directors. Whilst there are continued risks and uncertainties that require continued strong and focused management by the directors, there is every expectation that 2025 will be another positive year for the company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF SEACON LIMITED
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Seacon 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, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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 company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its 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'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 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 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

- the information given in the strategic report and the directors' r eport 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.

SEACON LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF SEACON LIMITED
Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identifie d material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' r eport.

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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

- the 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
- 6 -

As explained more fully in the directors' r esponsibilities s tatement, 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. 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 by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.

For construction companies, there are judgements in assessing the contract revenues, stage of completion, final expected margins and assessment of loss making contracts. In addition, assessments must be made regarding the recovery of retentions and other contractual amounts. We therefore consider this to be a high risk area for fraud, due to the potential for management bias.

To respond to the above potential risk of fraud, our audit procedures included:

- Assessing the relevant controls over the revenue invoicing and work in progress calculations for contract customers.

- Reviewing a sample of the client’s on-going contracts to ensure the stage of completion method methodology had been correctly applied.

- Reviewing a sample of customer contracts, assessing the costs to date and stage of completion per the valuation reports, variations within contract revenue and contract costs, and the completeness of loss provisions arising from customer disputes and contract overruns.

- Re-performing the key calculations behind the profit margins or loss provisions applied.

- Assessing and challenging the most significant contract positions and the judgements adopted by management to recognise revenue, costs and the profits or losses.

- Evaluating the financial performance of contracts against previous estimates and historical trends.

- Where appropriate, reviewing correspondence with insurance providers and legal advisors.

SEACON LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF SEACON LIMITED

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the further risks identified included the following:

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework (FRS 102, the Companies Act 2006), the relevant direct and indirect tax compliance regulation in the United Kingdom, health and safety regulations, as well as employment laws.

- We understood how the company is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management and seeking representations from those charged with governance. We corroborated our understanding by reviewing supporting documentation, procedures followed for employment related matters, as well as reviewing certifications the company has and their health and safety policies.

- Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved enquiries of management and those charged with governance, including a review of legal and professional expenses.

- We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by considering the risk of management override of internal control and by designating management override as a fraud risk. We performed journal entry testing by specific risk criteria, with a focus on journals indicating large or unusual transactions based on our understanding of the business. We tested specific transactions reconciling to source documentation or independent confirmation, ensuring appropriate authorisation of the transactions.

- The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://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 company'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 company'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 company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1
Accounting policies
Company information

Seacon Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Lukes Yard, 8B Station Road, London, NW4 4PZ.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Going concern

A true t the time of approving the financial statements, t he directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus t he directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3
Revenue
- 12 -

Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods and services net of VAT and trade discounts. Revenue from construction contracts includes amounts initially agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work to the extent that it is probable that the variation will result in revenue that can be reliably measured.

Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract at the reporting date. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract turnover, the expected loss is immediately recognised as an expense.

Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred and contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred where it is probable that they will be recoverable.

The “percentage of completion method” is used to determine the appropriate amount of profit to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date compared to the estimated total contract costs. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion. These costs are presented as prepayments or other assets depending on their nature, provided it is probable they will be recovered.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.4
Property, plant and equipment

Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land and buildings, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price and amounts directly attributable in bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

Freehold land and buildings whose fair value can be measured reliably are held under the revaluation model and are carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of valuation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The fair value of the land and buildings is usually considered to be their market value.

Revaluation gains are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a revaluation reserve in equity.

Depreciation is not provided on operating premises. The properties are maintained in a state of good repair and accordingly the directors consider their residual values based on prices prevailing at the time of the valuations are so high that any depreciation charge would be insignificant. The remaining t angible fixed assets are written off over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis. Expected useful lives are as follows:-

Freehold land and buildings
No depreciation
Plant and equipment
25% reducing balance
Motor vehicles
Straight line over 4 years

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

1.5
Investment property

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value a t the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.

1.6
Non-current investments

Other fixed asset investment s represents an unlisted equity investment, where the company's interest is under 20%. These investments are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

1.7
Impairment of non-current assets

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

1.8
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

1.9
Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ 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 receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. 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.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of 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 deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future paymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. A m ounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Other financial liabilities

Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as being measured at fair value th r ough profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.11
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

Current tax is the amount of corporation tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year or prior years. Tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end. Research and development expenditure is written off as incurred and the corresponding tax relief available on such expenditure is also claimed in the same year. The expenditure qualifying for research and development tax relief is determined by third-party specialists.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

1.12
Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of non-current assets. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.13
Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Accounting for construction contracts

Recognition of revenue and profit is based on judgments made in respect of the ultimate profitability of a contract. Such judg e ments are arrived at through the use of estimates in relation to costs and value of work performed to date and to be performed in bringing contracts to completion, including rectification of snagging issues. These estimates are made by reference to recovery of pre-contract costs, surveys of progress against the construction programme, changes in work scope, the contractual terms under which the work is being performed, including the recoverability of any unagreed income from variations and the likely outcome of discussions on claims, costs incurred and external certification of the work performed. The c ompany has appropriate control procedures to ensure all estimates are determined on a consistent basis and subject to appropriate review and authorisation.

Uninvoiced retentions are recognised in trade debtors to the extent that they are considered recoverable. The directors use the historical recovery rate of retentions to estimate the element of uninvoiced retentions to recognise.

Valuation of freehold and investment properties

The valuation of the properties is on the basis of a valuation carried out by the directors, who have significant experience in the property industry. The valuations are made on an open market value basis by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties.
