GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND FULL YEAR HIGHLIGHTS
The Ledwood Group experienced a year of strong operational activity and continued growth in 2024, supported by a robust order book, ongoing business development, and strategic investments across its subsidiaries.

Operational Performance
The Group achieved significant revenue growth across its operating companies. Ledwood Mechanical Engineering Limited (LMEL) continued to benefit from long-duration contracts, including the early phases of the £50 million Hinkley Point C project, which ramped up operations during the year. At the end of 2024, the Group maintained a strong pipeline of contracts, providing a solid platform for future works.

Ledwood Protective Coatings Limited (LPCL) also delivered substantial revenue growth, driven by both external market demand and internal group contracts linked to LMEL’s operations. While market conditions and price pressures continued to impact margins, profitability improved towards the end of the year, reflecting operational efficiency initiatives implemented during the period.

Financial Position and Outlook
The Group remains well positioned for sustained growth and long-term profitability. The strong order book, combined with ongoing investment in operational improvements, efficiency initiatives, and business development, supports a positive outlook for both revenue growth and working capital generation.

Looking ahead, the Group expects to continue capitalising on growth in energy, infrastructure, and construction sectors. Internal group demand will continue to contribute to overall performance, while operational improvements are anticipated to strengthen profitability across the subsidiaries.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the Group is the provision of engineering, fabrication, construction and protective coating services to the UK and international energy and infrastructure sectors. The Group also provides project management, design, maintenance and disinvestment services. Ledwood Holdings Limited acts as the holding entity, providing strategic direction and financial support to its subsidiaries.

BUSINESS STRATEGY & OBJECTIVES
The company's strategy is to build on its market presence within the energy and construction sectors, supporting clients with engineering and infrastructure services while also investing in people, technology, and sustainable practices to drive shareholder value and long-term success.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The directors consider that the key financial performance indicators are those that communicate the financial performance and strength of the company as a whole, these include but are not limited to the following :

LEDWOOD HOLDINGS LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07869227)

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The main risks and uncertainties faced by the group relate to demand levels, competitive pricing, economic volatility, and inflationary pressures driving up costs.

The group seek to mitigate these risks through:
- Diversification into new markets,
- Securing longer-term contracts, and
- Improving project pricing models.

Additionally, operations are exposed to financial risks, including interest rate fluctuations and the wider impacts of global geopolitical and economic instability. A risk management programme is in place to reduce exposure.

EMPLOYMENT POLICIES AND EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT
The group promotes a culture of continuous improvement by investing in people at all levels. Recruitment and retention of suitably qualified staff remains a key challenge, which management addresses through long-term project planning and ongoing training and development.

The group is committed to providing equal opportunities and ensuring there is no bias or discrimination in employment practices.

ENVIRONMENT, SUSTAINABILITY, GOVERNANCE (ESG) DISCLOSURES & PRIORITIES

As an employer and responsible contractor in the construction industry, the Group recognises the importance of managing its impact on the environment and wider society.

For over 40 years, Ledwood has delivered engineering, infrastructure and construction projects with a strong focus on meeting the needs of people and communities. The Group is committed to operating sustainably and supporting local communities through education, charitable programmes and sponsorships.

The Group continues to minimise its environmental footprint by reducing energy consumption, emissions, water use and waste. In addition, it supports customers in improving the sustainability of their own operations by delivering products and services that help lower carbon emissions, reduce energy and water use, and minimise waste.

Employees remain at the heart of the business. The Group strives to provide a working environment where individuals can reach their full potential and play a meaningful role in the communities in which they live and work.

The Group remains committed to conducting its business in a way that delivers long-term positive impacts for both the environment and society.

Section 172(1) Statement

In accordance with Section 172(1) of the Companies Act 2006, the directors confirm that they have acted in a way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole, while having regard to the following matters:

Long-term success: The directors focus on sustainable growth by maintaining a strong order book, developing long-term customer relationships, and investing in efficiency and improvement initiatives.

Employees: The Group engages with employees through regular meetings, training and development programmes, and communication channels that enable feedback to be considered in decision-making.

Business relationships: The Group values its relationships with key customers, suppliers, and partners, ensuring open communication and collaboration to support contract delivery and business development.

Community and environment: The Group is committed to minimising its environmental footprint and supporting local communities through education, charitable initiatives and sponsorship.

Standards of conduct: The Group is committed to acting responsibly, ethically and with integrity in all of its operations.

The directors believe that balancing these factors supports the long-term success of the Group, creates value for stakeholders and ensures a positive contribution to society and the environment.


LEDWOOD HOLDINGS LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07869227)

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Over the next five years a Ledwood is likely to see steady demand growth driven mainly by large energy & infrastructure programs such as offshore wind, hydrogen/CCS and nuclear, but growth will be uneven.

HyNet, the North West decarbonization project, is now firmly in its construction-ready phase, with financial close achieved for the backbone element of the cluster. £2bn in contracts have already been awarded with £3-4bn worth of contracts to be awarded over the next five years. Similarly the decarbonization projects in the North East are progressing albeit at a slightly slower pace. However Net Zero Teesside has reached financial close and £4bn worth of contracts have been awarded.

Sizewell C reached FID in July this year for the £38bn nuclear power plant.

Offshore wind continues to develop with some UK-based fabrication contractors now supplying secondary steelwork and platforms to offshore windfarms. In the Celtic Sea, both Equinor and Gwynt Glas were awarded leases for windfarms totaling 3GW in capacity and we await the outcome of the current AR 7 round to see if developers of the Test and Demonstration wind farms submit Contract for Difference bids. If they do, it will open up the opportunity to supply anchors and possibly secondary steelwork to these projects.

Offshore wind projects also offer the opportunity to bid for Clean Industry Bonus investments where the developer is encouraged to put significant amounts of money in to local manufacturing infrastructure.

No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 December 2024.

DIRECTORS
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2024 to the date of this report.

POLITICAL DONATIONS AND EXPENDITURE
During the year, the company made donations totalling £12,184 to various charities.

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 ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Bevan Buckland LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
LEDWOOD HOLDINGS LTD

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Ledwood Holdings Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other 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 31 December 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.

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 group's and the parent 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 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
LEDWOOD HOLDINGS LTD


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 five, 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
LEDWOOD HOLDINGS LTD


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:

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We discussed our audit independence complying with the Revised Ethical Standard 2019 with the engagement team members whilst planning the audit and continually monitored our independence throughout the process.

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

- enquiring of management, including obtaining and reviewing support documentation, concerning the group's policies and procedures relating to:
- identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
- internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
- discussing among the engagement team how and where fraud might occur in the Financial Statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
- obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the Financial Statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the company, The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and relevant tax legislation.

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

- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations;
- enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
- reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence with HMRC;
- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, 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.

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
LEDWOOD HOLDINGS LTD

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Ledwood Holdings Ltd 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate the results of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group, where control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The financial statements of all Group entities are prepared to the same reporting date and using consistent accounting policies. Non-controlling interests are measured at the proportionate share of the acquiree?s net assets.

The subsidiaries fully included in the consolidated accounts are:

- Ledwood Protective Coatings Ltd
- Ledwood Mechanical Engineering Ltd

All intra-Group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Significant judgements and estimates
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances.

a) Critical judgements in applying the company's accounting policies

The directors do not consider there to be any critical accounting judgements to the financial statements.

b) Key accounting estimates and assumptions

i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 11 for the carrying amount of the property plant and equipment, and note 2 for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.

ii) Long term contracts

Where the Group enters into long term contracts, revenue is recognised on the percentage of completion basis. Under the percentage of completion method, the Group makes an estimate of the percentage to complete for a project and recognises the proportion of revenue and profit accordingly. In forecasting the profitability of contracts, management makes best estimates of the impact of customer disputes and claims brought by contractors. Any expected losses on long term contracts are recognised immediately and are written off to the Statement of comprehensive income.
Where work has been carried out on a contract the revenue recognised will be included as a debtor under amounts recoverable under contract up the value the directors believe is recoverable which may be in excess of the amount certified by the customer at the balance sheet date due to work being carried out off site or payment milestones not yet being met.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Revenue recognition
Revenue, which excludes value added tax and trade discounts is the fair value of the consideration received and receivable and represents the invoiced value of goods and services supplied and the value of contract work undertaken during the year.

Long term contract balances are assessed on a contract by contract basis and are reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as contract activity progresses. Any expected losses on long term contract balances are recognised immediately and are written off to the profit and loss account. Where it is considered that the outcome of a long term contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty before its conclusion, the prudently calculated attributable profit is recognised in the profit and loss account as the difference between reported turnover and related costs for that contract.

Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method. The cost of a business combination is the fair value of the consideration given, liabilities incurred or assumed and of equity instruments issued plus the costs directly attributable to the business combination.
On acquisition of a business, fair values are attributed to the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities unless the fair value cannot be measured reliably, in which case the value is incorporated in goodwill. Where the fair value of contingent liabilities cannot be reliably measured they are disclosed on the same basis as other contingent liabilities.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the Group?s share of the net assets acquired. Positive goodwill is capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The directors consider a useful life of 21 years to be appropriate, reflecting the long-term nature of customer relationships and major framework contracts within the energy and infrastructure sectors. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Negative Goodwill
Where the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the cost of acquisition, the excess is recognised as negative goodwill. Prior to recognition, the Group reassesses the identification and measurement of the acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, and the measurement of the cost of the combination. Negative goodwill relating to non-monetary assets is recognised in profit or loss as those assets are recovered. Any remaining excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

The Group adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Group. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives range as follows:

The estimated useful lives range as follows:
%
Freehold buildings 4
Plant, machinery and equipment 20 - 33.33
Solar panels 5
Fixtures and fittings 20

Leasehold land and buildings are depreciated over 25 years or over the remaining term of the lease, whichever is the shorter. Freehold land is not depreciated. The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within 'administrative expenses' in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

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

Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.


Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Leased assets
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

At inception the company assesses agreements that transfer the right to use assets. The assessment considers whether the arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on the substance of the arrangement.

Operating leased assets
Leases that do not transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payments obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income 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 Group in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Cash
Cash includes cash in hand and at bank, along with restricted cash balances held in escrow in support of contractual commitments. Bank overdrafts, when applicable, are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.

Provisions for liabilities
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Group a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are charged as an expense to the profit and loss account in the year that the Group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance Sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.

Distribution to equity holders
Dividends and other distributions to the company's shareholders are recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends and other distributions are approved by the shareholders. These amounts are recognised in the statement of changes in equity.

Related party transactions
The company discloses transactions with related parties which are not wholly owned within the same group. It does not disclose transactions with members of the same group that are wholly owned.

Financial Instruments
The group 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 group's balance sheet when the group 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 debtors 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.

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


LEDWOOD HOLDINGS LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07869227)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal 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 group 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 group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans and loans from fellow group companies 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 payments 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 creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts 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 creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
