The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 November 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

In the opinion of directors the company has had an improved trading period, albeit with pressure on margins and difficult market conditions that have affected everyone operating in this industry. The result was a profit after taxation of £201,777 (2023 - £178,922).

Some other financial KPI's are set out in the table below to show the performance of the company over the trading period.

Shareholders' funds amount to £1,146,915 (2023 - £1,122,138). We are confident that the company has sufficient reserves to finance the anticipated levels of activity in the future.

Turnover for the year ended November 2025 is likely to remain consistent and the board continues to apply tight control of margins generated and monitor overhead and secure further long term contracts.

Ongoing commercial planning within our long-term strategic framework continues to be a key factor in our commercial success. We are currently achieving 95-99% of customer monitored KPI's and this consistent operational performance has cemented strong working relationships with our customers. This is evident from our order book which reflects between 67% to 75% of our customers renewing contracts between 1 to 3 years on a rolling basis, which augurs well in our strategy to attain automatic supplier selection from our customer base.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The company operates in the road haulage industry and is therefore subject to the rise and falls within this industry in general. The market remains competitive, however the directors are confident that the high level of service given to customers and the company's reputation will ensure that it will remain a strong contender in this industry.

The company's main credit risk relates to debtors. The company is not turnover driven and has expanded its customer base. Payment histories and credit ratings of all customers are monitored closely.

The directors recognise their overall responsibility for the company's systems and internal control. The controls are designed to manage, as opposed to completely eliminate, risk. The company monitors cash flow as part of its day to day procedures.

GOING CONCERN

In adopting the going concern basis for preparing the financial statements, the directors have considered the issues impacting the company during the period, as outlined in the strategic report.

Although the net current liabilities position within the financial statements has increased from £2,178,756 to £2,395,671, the company has continued to meet its liabilities as they fall due whilst operating within facilities agreed with its bank. This has continued post year end.

The directors have reviewed trading conditions since the year end which show growth in customer contracts, along with improving results. Based on cash flow forecasts and operating budgets prepared, the directors fully believe that the company will continue to generate sufficient cash to meet its working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months, whilst continuing to work within agreed bank facilities. The company's bankers have continued to support the company since the year end and indications are that this support will continue.

The directors therefore believe that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would arise should the finance facilities available to the company not continue at expected levels.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

B A Yuill - Director

17 September 2025

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the 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). 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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;

-	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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 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 company'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 company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Sharles Audit Limited, have indicated their willingness to be reappointed for another term and appropriate arrangements have been put in place for them to be deemed reappointed as auditors in the absence of an Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

B A Yuill - Director

17 September 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Yuill & Dodds Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 November 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the 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 company's affairs as at 30 November 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 Auditors' 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

We draw attention to Note 3 in the financial statements which describes the material uncertainty relating to going concern. The financial statements show net current liabilities of £2,395,671 which could result in a short term cashflow issue. Despite this the company has continued to meet its liabilities as they fall due post year end and the directors believe that they will generate sufficient cash and maintain agreed banking facilities to meet their cashflow requirements during the next 12 months. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the 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 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 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 company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the 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, 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

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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.

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:

The aims of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements as a result of fraud or error, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement as a result of fraud or error and to respond appropriately to those risks. As a result of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures include the following:

-

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company and the sector in which they operate. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Companies Act 2006 and UK corporate tax laws.

-

We obtained an understanding of how the company complies with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries of management. We undertook a review of legal fees for any evidence of non-compliance.

-

We assessed the susceptibility of the company financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the audit team included:

-

identifying and documenting the controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud and error;

-

understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;

-

challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;

-

identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted for large or unusual amounts;

-

assessing the extent of compliance with relevant laws and regulations; and

-

sample testing of transactions and balances.

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.

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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Yuill & Dodds Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Scotland. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2.	STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

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. There were no material departures from that standard.

3.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

In adopting the going concern basis for preparing the financial statements, the directors have considered the issues impacting the company during the period, as outlined in the strategic report.

Although the net current liabilities position within the financial statements has increased from £2,178,756 to £2,395,671, the company has continued to meet its liabilities as they fall due whilst operating within facilities agreed with its bank. This has continued post year end.

The directors have reviewed trading conditions since the year end which show growth in customer contracts, along with improving results. Based on cash flow forecasts and operating budgets prepared, the directors fully believe that the company will continue to generate sufficient cash to meet its working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months, whilst continuing to work within agreed bank facilities. The company's bankers have continued to support the company since the year end and indications are that this support will continue.

The directors therefore believe that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would arise should the finance facilities available to the company not continue at expected levels.

Turnover

Turnover is derived from haulage services supplied by the company.

Turnover is measured at the fair value of haulage services supplied, net of discounts and excluding value added tax, and is recognised at the point that the company obtains the right to consideration.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Freehold property

-

10% on cost and 5% on cost

Plant and machinery

-

15% on reducing balance

Fixtures and fittings

-

15% on reducing balance

Motor vehicles

-

20% on reducing balance

Tangible fixed assets held for the companies own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Expenditure of £1,000 or more on individual tangible fixed assets is capitalised at cost. Expenditure on assets below this threshold is charged directly to the income statement in the period it is incurred unless part of an overall project.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell (net realisable value). Costs, which comprise direct production costs, are based on the method appropriate to the type of inventory class, but usually on a first-in-first-out basis. Overheads are charged to the income statement as incurred. Net realisable value is based on the estimated selling price less any estimated completion or selling costs.

When stocks are sold, the carrying amount of those stocks is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of stocks to net realisable value and all losses of stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of stocks is recognised as a reduction in the amounts of stocks recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation in each period.

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Factor advances

Factor advances received against trade debtors are presented separately under current liabilities as the company bears any losses arising from the irrecoverability of these debts.
