| Strategic Report |
|
| Review of the business |
|
| The group made a profit for the year after tax of £1,223,753 (2023: £3,870,410). |
|
| Allamhouse Limited made income on investments of £2,243,813. This was solely as a result of contingent events following the sale of the group undertaking in previous years. |
|
| The director, in accordance with s. 172, seeks to promote the long term success of the company and consider the interests of all stakeholders, by regular meetings with management coupled with substantial skills and experience. |
|
| Engineering |
|
| Turnover remained at similar levels to the previous year and the business also achieved a similar gross profit margin. |
|
| Administrative costs remained stable and are comparable to the previous year. |
|
| The directors, in accordance with s. 172, seeks to promote the long term success of the company and consider the interests of all stakeholders, by regular meetings with management coupled with substantial skills and experience. |
|
| Property |
|
| On 29 October 2024, the group acquired 100% control of Allam Developments Limited, a property trading and development company. The Group company's share of post-acquisition profits was £36,143 for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
|
| Other investments |
|
| A further £3 million was invested into Zero Petroleum Limited, a company engaged in the manufacture of clean fuel, making a total investment of £5 million. An impairment of £2.5 million has been made against this investment in the year. |
|
| Future developments |
| The directors are confident about the future prospects for the group because the results for the engineering division remain strong and are expected to be profitable in future. |
|
| The group has substantial bank balances and a solid balance sheet which enables the company to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. |
|
| Principal risks and uncertainties |
| The company's main risks are in connection with economic activity in the generating sets market. Because the company exports over 90% of its products, it is exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the pound and various currencies. |
|
| This report was approved by the board on 16 September 2025 and signed on its behalf. |

Investments |
|
Investments in unquoted equity and loan instruments are measured at cost less any impairment. |
|
|
Stocks |
|
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. |
|
|
Debtors |
|
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. |
|
|
Creditors |
|
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. |
|
|
Financial Instruments |
|
Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
|
|
Taxation |
|
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
|
|
Provisions |
|
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. |
|
|
Foreign currency translation |
|
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss. |
|
|
Leased assets |
|
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The rights of use and obligations under finance leases are initially recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction in the outstanding liability using the effective interest rate method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the company's policy for tangible fixed assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the lower of the lease term and its useful life. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
|
|
Pensions |
|
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate. |
|

Critical accounting estimates and judgements |
|
|
In order to apply the company's accounting policies, as described in note 1 above, the directors are required to make judgements and estimates in respect of the carrying value of assets and liabilities which may not be apparent from other sources of information. The directors base these critical accounting judgements and estimations on previous historical experience and other factors which the directors judge to be relevant. Judgements and estimates will invariably differ from actual results and hence such judgements and estimates are reviewed by the directors on an ongoing basis. |
|
|
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: |
|
|
Valuation of investments |
|
Investments in unquoted equity and loan instruments are measured at cost less any impairment. The directors constantly review values to assess if any impairment has occurred. Cost is compared to realisable value and impairment made when realisable value is deemed to be less than cost. When considering realisable value the directors take into account potential sales value of the investments together with financial performance and net asset value. |
|
|
Stocks |
|
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Where items are in stock for a long period the directors will estimate their realisable value, and make provision, where necessary. The directors constantly review and consider the stock levels and monitor the sale of items held for long periods. In assessing any provision the directors take into account their past experience of the sale of items and whether the item model has been changed by the supplier. |
