| Group Strategic Report |
| for the period 24 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 |
| The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the period 24 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The parent company has not traded as such, but acquired Worcester Electrical Distributors Ltd on 26 June 2024 for £5m. There were no other transactions in that company during the period save for the issue of a single £1 share. |
| This is a new group, and hence there are no comparative figures. In the period from 26 June 2024 to 31 December 2024, the group achieved a turnover of £10.4m, a gross profit of 26.6% and the trading profit before exceptional items was £280k. |
| The exceptional item consisted of group refinancing and restructuring costs of £324k and intercompany balance write offs of £351k. |
| Closing group reserves amounted to (£422k) due to the consolidation adjustments whereby the parent company's £5m investment in the subsidiary was replaced by £1.32m of goodwill. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The group's operations expose it to a number of financial risks that include credit risk and liquidity risk. |
| Given the size of the group, the directors have not delegated the responsibility of monitoring financial risk management to a sub-committee of the board. The policies set by the board of directors are implemented by the group's finance department as required. |
| Credit risk |
| The group has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made. |
| Liquidity risk |
| The group actively manages its working capital requirements to ensure it has sufficient funds for its operations. The requirement for medium to long term debt finance will be reviewed by the board of directors based on the group's forecast requirements. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| RDCP Electrical 1 Ltd (Registered number: 15440911) |
| Report of the Director |
| for the period 24 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 |
| The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the period 24 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. |
| INCORPORATION |
| The group was incorporated on 24 January 2024 and commenced trading on 26 June 2024. |
| The group passed a special resolution on 24 January 2025 changing its name from RDCP Investments 24 Ltd to RDCP Electrical 1 Ltd. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the group in the period under review was that of the distribution of specialist electrical equipment to the trade. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividends will be distributed for the period ended 31 December 2024. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| Given the challenges presented by the contraction in the construction industry, the directors are expecting to just maintain current turnover levels and margins, while controlling overheads in order to secure the future prospects of the business. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The director who is eligible offers himself for election at the forthcoming first Annual General Meeting. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 director is 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 he 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. |
| RDCP Electrical 1 Ltd (Registered number: 15440911) |
| Report of the Director |
| for the period 24 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Derek Young & Co Accountants 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 |
| RDCP Electrical 1 Ltd |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of RDCP Electrical 1 Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the period 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 loss for the period 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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 Director 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 Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| RDCP Electrical 1 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 Director. |
| 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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of director |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page three, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| RDCP Electrical 1 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. As required by International Standard on Quality Management 1, the engagement partner is responsible for overseeing that the audit is conducted in accordance with the firm's quality management policies and procedures. The engagement partner's responsibilities include taking appropriate actions where necessary to address any identified deficiencies or deviations from the firm's policies and procedures. |
| The firm's policies and procedures are designed to ensure that the audit is conducted in accordance with ISAs UK and applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and that reports issued are appropriate in the circumstances. |
| 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: |
| In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following: |
| - the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the design of the group’s and the parent company's remuneration policies, key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets; |
| - the results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities |
| - any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the group’s and the parent company's documentation of their 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; and |
| - the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
| - the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the |
| financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the group and parent company operate in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and local tax legislation. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the group’s and the parent company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. |
| As a result of performing the above, we identified management override of controls as a key audit matter related to the potential risk of fraud. Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: |
| - reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements ; |
| - 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; and |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| RDCP Electrical 1 Ltd |
| - 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. |
| Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
| 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. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Basis of consolidation |
| The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of RDCP Electrical 1 Ltd and its subsidiary undertaking up to 31 December each year. |
| Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of their acquisition, being the date on which the group obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The financial statements do not contain any significant judgements or estimation uncertainty. |
| Goodwill |
| 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. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Improvements to property | - |
| Fixtures, fittings & equipment | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the period 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 period 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. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Revenue recognition |
| Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company. This is generally the point at which goods are delivered to, or collected by, the customer in accordance with the agreed delivery terms. |
| Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of services in the ordinary course of the group's activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts. |
| 3. | TURNOVER |
| The turnover and loss before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the group. |
