STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The directors present their strategic report for the period 31 December 2024.
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 nature of our business and is written in the context of the risks and uncertainties we face.
The directors are pleased with the results for the year and to report a profit after tax of £1,266,905 (2023 - £1,009,750).
The business environment in which we operate continues to be challenging. However, the company continues to provide a mixture of repair, new supply and on-site services to manage the risk.
The defined benefit pension scheme valuation reported a decrease in scheme liabilities, mainly due to underlying valuation assumptions. The company continues to fund the scheme in accordance with a recovery plan
We consider that our key financial performance indicators are those that communicate the financial performance and strength of the company as a whole, these being turnover which remained consistent during the year, gross profit margin being 49.1% (2023 – 44.4%). The resultant operating profit was £1,891,010 (2023 - £1,330,327).
Liquidity and cash flow risk are managed through agreeing appropriate payment terms with customers and suppliers. The company manages financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs with short-term flexibility provided by a sales finance facility.
The company's principal financial assets are trade debtors for which credit risk is managed by directors by setting limits for customers based on a combination of payment history and reputation. Credit limits are reviewed on a regular basis in conjunction with debt ageing and collection history and to ensure sales finance facility covenants are met.
The directors continue to ensure that the highest level of service is provided to their customers and the directors expect the company to remain profitable for the subsequent year.
This report was approved by the board on 16 July 2025 and signed on its behalf.

BROWNINGS ELECTRIC COMPANY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BROWNINGS ELECTRIC COMPANY LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Brownings Electric Company Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Profit and loss account, the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the 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 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 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BROWNINGS ELECTRIC COMPANY LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors' report 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.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report or the Directors' report.

BROWNINGS ELECTRIC COMPANY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BROWNINGS ELECTRIC COMPANY 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 Auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities we considered the following:
∙Obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector, including the legal and regulatory
frameworks that the Company operates in and they are complying with the legal and regulatory frameworks;
∙Enquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and
assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud;
∙Discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including
assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud.
All relevant laws and regulations identified at a Company level and areas susceptible to fraud that could have a material effect on the financial statements were communicated. Any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations identified were considered in our audit approach.
The most significant laws and regulations were determined as follows:
∙UK GAAP FRS 102 and Companies Act; and
∙Tax compliance regulations.
Additional audit procedures performed by the audit engagement team included:
∙Review of the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation; and
∙Completion of disclosure checklists to identify areas of non-compliance.
The areas that we identified as being susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud were:
∙Revenue Recognition; and
∙Management Override.
Audit procedures in respect to the identified areas above:
∙Obtaining an understanding of the processes and controls around revenue recognition;
∙Substantively testing revenue via various testing including transactional, cut off and sequencing;
∙Evaluation of the appropriateness of the accounting policies;
∙Testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments;
∙Assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias;
and
∙Evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal
course of business.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's report.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss account 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 company in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company 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 Company's Balance sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date..
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Basic 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 the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

BROWNINGS ELECTRIC COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions Revaluation of tangible fixed assets The directors have assessed the market value of the property. The valuation was based upon market values as at the balance sheet date on an 'open market value' basis. See note 14 for further information. Defined benefit pension scheme The company has obligations to pay pension benefits to certain employees. The cost of these benefits and the present value of the obligation depend on a number of factors, including; life expectancy, salary increases, asset valuations and the discount rate on corporate bonds. Management estimates these factors in determining the net pension obligation in the balance sheet. The assumptions reflect historical experience and current trends. See note 22 for further information. Work in progress Work in progress consists of labour, materials and overhead costs of ongoing projects at the balance sheet date. Management estimate the value of materials and overheads based upon a percentage of the value of labour work at that time. The percentages used are based upon the managements knowledge and experience of the industry taking into account current pricing factors. The value of work in progress is £195,593 (2023 - £138,118) and is included within note 15.
