This report has been prepared to inform members of the company and help them assess how the directors have performed their duty to promote the success of the company during the period under review.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The principal activity of the Group in the period under review was that of a Building Services Company together with associated mechanical, electrical, fabrication and building services.

Whist initially it might appear that the group saw a reduction in turnover, it must be remembered that the comparative figures are for an 18 month period. After allowing for this the Group turnover shows a 26% increase in turnover year on year. Further, we achieved a much improved margin by both concentrating on our core existing business and expanding into related new markets where we considered diversification to be advantageous to the groups expansion. As can be seen by the key performance indicators below, all areas of the business remained strong and we see no reason why this should not continue into the future.

Cash resources showed a significant recovery from 2023 as a result of achieved better recoverability of our debtor book - something that had slipped in previous years. The Group liquidity remains strong with the Group prepared and ready for any future bumps in the road caused by events beyond its control.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Business risk

The Group operates in the commercial building and construction industry and as such is subject to the economic trends within the UK. The economy remains steady and provides consistency and stability for the Group.. Continued pressure from customers to achieve the best prices means that margins remain competitive. Delays in receiving payments can in some cases lead to cashflow pressure although the Group holds material reserves to minimise such difficulties where possible.

Financial risk

The Group's major risk arises from a bad debt from one of its major customers. The directors monitor all major customers by reviewing information publicly available and assessing that information for impact on the Group's willingness to continue to work with that customer.

The Group continues to hold significant cash balances which will help it through any period of potential instability. These balances will protect the Group should any financial threats arise. The directors have no plans to distribute excess balances to the shareholders as this may impact upon the long term strength of the Group's balance sheet.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rates have stabilised and the Group has minimal debt and therefore minimal interest rate risk.

Health and Safety risk

Claims in respect of health and safety injuries are far more prevalent than in years gone by. The Group takes this risk seriously and has strict policies in place for all employees to follow both on site and in the office. Action is taken against employees who do not adhere to the policies thus reinforcing the policies visibly to all employees. The Group has an excellent health and safety record.

Going concern risk

Since the year end, one of the Company's subsidiaries has ceased trading and the directors are considering the sale of another subsidiary. Should that happen the group would no longer be considered a going concern because it would not be a trading entity. However the group would remain substantially solvent.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group 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 group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Sumer Auditco Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

Mrs M E Glover - Director

29 September 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Brill Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 30 September 2024 and of the group's 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 group 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.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw your attention to the accounting policy in respect of the basis of preparing the financial statements. If certain events occur then the Group will cease trading and would no longer continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in this matter.

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements is appropriate.

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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-	the parent company 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent 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. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.

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.

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

o

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;

o

we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the construction sector;

o

we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;

o

we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management, reviewing correspondence with industry regulators, and inspecting legal correspondence; and

o

identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

o

making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and

o

considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

o

performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;

o

tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;

o

assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and

o

investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

o

agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

o

reading the minutes of those charged with governance;

o

enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and

o

reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators, and the company's legal advisors.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

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.	TRADING ADDRESS

The Group trading address is 11 The Green, Brill, Aylesbury, Bucks, HP18 9RU.

2.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Brill Holdings Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

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

3.	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.

4.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on a going concern basis. Since the year end, one of the Company's subsidiaries has ceased trading and the director's are considering the sale of a further subsidiary. Should that happen the group would no longer be trading and thus not considered a going concern. The group is solvent and ceasing to be a going concern would not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company together with all of its subsidiaries of which all are wholly owned.

Significant judgements and estimates

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in this note, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The main estimate relates to the value of Work In Progress. The estimation process assumes that profit arises evenly over the life of a contract and calculates the % completion of the contract by looking at the costs incurred to date compared to the total expected costs of the contract. The % completion is then multiplied by the contract value and any recognised turnover deducted. The resultant number is recognised as an "amount recoverable under contract" or a "payment on account".

The other material estimate relates to the provision for dilapidation costs arising under property leases. Due to the nature of the business, the directors consider themselves to have sufficient expertise to reasonably estimate these costs.

Turnover

Turnover represents net invoiced sales of work completed as adjusted for work in progress where work in progress is recoverable under contract. All amounts are net of VAT.

Where it is considered that the outcome of a contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty before its conclusion, the prudently calculated attributable profit is recognised (as turnover) as the difference between reported turnover and related costs for that contract.

The amount by which recorded turnover is in excess of payments on account is classified as "amounts recoverable on contracts" and separately disclosed within debtors. Where payments are in excess of recognised turnover, the excess is included as "payments on account".

Goodwill

Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2002, has been amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
