STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
- 1 -

The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2025.

Principal activities

The principal activity of the company continued to be that of manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures.

Review of the business

The company has performed well during the year, delivering growth in both turnover and contract volume. This performance has been driven by strong market demand, opportunities in new sectors, and continued investment in operational improvements.

 

Tekla PowerFab software has been integrated across the business to support project management, and production control. This is expected to reduce lead times, minimise material waste, improve accuracy, and improve the collaboration between teams.

 

Investment in the main factory has continued, with a new extension, additional machinery, and improved material handling systems. These upgrades are expected to increase production capacity and improve workflow efficiency.

 

The company has been shortlisted for the 2025 RIDBA Building Awards. given the business has undertaken a number of technically complex projects, including the design and construction of specialised roundhouse's in the year. These projects have further developed the company’s design and engineering capabilities.

 

The company continues to diversify its project portfolio beyond traditional agricultural work. Recent contracts include a hydrogen refuelling station and the development of three narrowbody aircraft hangars.

 

In response to significant growth and several major contract wins, the company has expanded its team, creating new roles including a Business Development Executive, Structural Engineer, and Draftsperson.

 

A major operational change during the period was the company moving its factory workers to a 4 day working week while keeping the total hours roughly the same. This change has led to remarkable improvements in productivity and employee satisfaction. This also gives additional time to do maintenance (machines, plant) without disrupting production, which will reduce downtime and improve efficiency.

 

Future developments

The company plans to continue its growth through investment in capacity and project offering. Further expansion is planned at the Barnard Castle factory, including additional floor space, the installation of more advanced machinery, and the potential development of new workshops. These improvements are intended to support the delivery of larger and more complex builds. To accommodate an expanding workforce and grow, the company has also purchased a neighbouring unit, which will be used for further office space.

 

Market demand appears to be increasing for industrial and commercial structures, as well as for non-standard and bespoke builds. The company continues to monitor these trends on a regular basis, with a focus on building a network of partners, to increase our hold on the market and generate new work both domestically and internationally. The company is also actively exploring the potential acquisition of a planning consultancy firm to enhance the services offered to existing clients and to attract further business.

 

The company is continuing to grow its presence in niche and high-specification markets, including aviation, specialised agricultural structures, and military applications. These sectors present opportunities for differentiation and long-term stability in the market.

 

Investment in systems will continue, with a focus on improving productivity and reducing waste through greater automation. This includes the use of Office 365, cloud-based systems, and Sage 200.

 

The company is also prioritising development of current and future talent. This includes expanding the engineering, design, and project management teams, as well as offering training and development to current staff to support increased project complexity and scale.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

Principal risks and uncertainties

Management continually monitors the principal risks facing the company and assesses the controls used for managing these risks. The board of directors regularly reviews the principal risks and the controls in place to manage them.

 

The key business and financial risks facing the company are:

 

Material price risk

Prices for steel and raw materials are monitored regularly, with contingencies in place to manage cost fluctuations.

 

Labour and subcontractor costs

Recruitment, training, and a competitive subcontractors selection process help manage rising costs.

 

Project Delays and supply chain disruption

Project planning and supplier management processes are in place to reduce the risk of delays.

 

Health and safety risk

Regular training, audits, and updated procedures help ensure compliance and minimise incidents.

 

Customer disputes and payment risk

Contracts are carefully managed, and credit control procedures are followed to reduce exposure to late or non-payment.

 

Economic risk

The company continues to diversify into new sectors to reduce reliance on any single market.

 

Regulatory and environmental compliance

Compliance is managed through regular monitoring of legislation and investment in sustainable practices.

Key performance indicators

Key performance indicators are considered to be Turnover, Gross Margin and Balance Sheet value.

 

 

 

The company profit after tax for the year was £784k (2024 (unaudited) - £597k) which has led to an increase in the company net asset position at year end to £3.29m (2024 (unaudited) - £2.51m).

 

The director considers the company's key performance indicators to be satisfactory given the economic outlook as noted above.

- 3 -

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2025.

Results and dividends

The results for the year are set out on page 8.

Directors

The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

J A Kirk
S C Pelly
Auditor

Sumer Auditco Limited were appointed as auditor to the company and in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution proposing that they be re-appointed will be put at a General Meeting.

Statement of directors' responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report 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:

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.

Strategic Report

The company has chosen in accordance with Companies Act 2006, s. 414C(11) to set out in the company's strategic report information required by Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, Sch. 7 to be contained in the directors' report.

Statement of disclosure to auditor

So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF S&A FABRICATIONS LIMITED
- 5 -
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of S&A Fabrications Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 April 2025 which comprise the profit and loss account, the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including 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:

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 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 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 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

S&A FABRICATIONS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF S&A FABRICATIONS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
- 6 -
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 directors' report.

 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, 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 is 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.

Auditor's 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 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

S&A FABRICATIONS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF S&A FABRICATIONS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
- 7 -
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Discussions with and enquiries of management and those charged with governance were held with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.

 

The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:

 

 

Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of legal costs incurred; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.

 

No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Other matters which we are required to address

The prior period financial statements were not subject to audit and therefore the comparative figures in the financial statements are unaudited.

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 an auditor's report 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

Accounting policies
Company information

S&A Fabrications Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is c/o S&A Fabrications, Harmire Enterprise Park, Barnard Castle, County Durham, DL12 8EH.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:

 

The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of P&K Construction (Holdings) Ltd. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, S&A Fabrications, Harmire Enterprise Park, Barnard Castle, United Kingdom, DL12 8EH.

1.2
Turnover

Turnover represents the sales value of work done net of VAT and trade discounts. Long-term contract revenue is calculated as the fair value of the contract works completed at the balance sheet date, as outlined in note 1.7. Profit recognised is based on the stage of completion of a contract. Provision is made in full for anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts. Where turnover differs from amounts invoiced, the balance is included in amounts recoverable on long term contracts or payments on account as appropriate.

1.3
Intangible fixed assets - goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of unincorporated businesses over the fair value of net assets acquired. It is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is considered to have a finite useful life and is amortised on a systematic basis over its expected life being 10 years.

1.4
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

S&A FABRICATIONS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
1
Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 13 -

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land
Not depreciated
Freehold buildings
Straight line over 30 years
Plant and equipment
15% straight line
Computers
25% straight line
Motor vehicles
25% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

1.5
Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.6
Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.

 

Stocks held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of cost and replacement cost, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

1.7
Long-term contract revenue

Where the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting end date. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

 

Where the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred where it is probable that they will be recoverable.

 

Amounts recoverable on long term contracts, which are included in debtors, are stated at the net sales value of work done after provision for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. Excess progress payments are included in creditors as payments on accounts.

1.8
Financial instruments

The company 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 company's balance sheet when the company 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.

 

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 company 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 company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, 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 company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.10
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

1.11
Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received, if considered material to the financial statements.

 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12
Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

1.13
Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Assessing indicators of impairment

In assessing whether there have been any indicators of impairment in assets, the directors have considered both external and internal sources of information such as market conditions and experience of recoverability. There have been no indicators of impairment identified during the current financial year.

Revenue recognition

The company's revenue recognition policy for amounts recoverable on contracts is set out in accounting policies and is central to how the company values work performed in each financial period. Project managers provide the estimates required, which is overseen by the Directors who have substantial experience in the field.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

Determining residual values and useful economic lives of fixed assets

The company depreciates tangible assets over their estimated useful lives. The estimation of the useful lives of assets is based on historic performance as well as expectations about future use and therefore requires estimates and assumptions to be applied by management.

 

Judgement is applied by management when determining the residual values of tangible assets. When determining the residual value management aim to assess the amount that the company would currently obtain for the disposal of the asset, if it were already of the condition expected at the end of its useful economic life.

 

The carrying amount of tangible fixed assets at the reporting date was £1,413,104 (2024 (unaudited) - £1,277,735).

Revenue recognition in respect of long term contracts

The company uses the percentage of completion method to recognise project revenue for long term contracts. The method requires the directors to estimate the future profits and losses expected for each contract. The method also requires the directors to estimate the level of completion at which profits and losses can reliably forecast and hence recognised. Variations to estimates could result in the over or under recognition of revenue.

 

Amounts recoverable on long term contracts ("AROC"), which are included in debtors, are stated at the net sales value of work done after provision for contingencies and anticipated future losses on contracts, less amounts received as progress payments on account. The carrying amount of AROC at the reporting end date was £758,942 (2024 (unaudited) - £175,297).
