Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The company is primarily a heating engineering business operating from its head office premises in Glasgow. It services, maintains and installs central heating throughout Scotland and is an accredited Eco Installer.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The results for the year and financial position of the company are as shown in the annexed financial statements.

Turnover increased by 45.9% in the year to £27m which was line with the Directors expectations.The significant increase in turnover can be attributed to new Eco contracts which have generated around £9m in additional turnover. As expected this increase in turnover has also increased direct costs of sale, principally subcontractor costs.

Due to the sales increase and the mix of sales in the period as well as an improvement in cost control the company was able to improve operating profit to £1,121k for the year compared with £847k in the prior year.

Bank funds were improved significantly to a level of £4m at the year end compared with £3m in 2023 and this position has been maintained after the year end as a result of positive trading in 2025.

Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risks and uncertainties affecting the business, together with the company's approach to those are summarised below:-

Market risk - the company is reliant on local authorities for contracts which are subject to periodic competitive tender. Renewal of these contracts is based on performance criteria and competitiveness of pricing. The company prides itself on forging and maintaining excellent relationships with customers and providing a superior service which serves to mitigate this risk.

Economic risk - the company's marketplace currently benefits from the impact of government led initiatives and a focus on energy efficiency. Were these to be reversed or reduced then this would require the company to take steps to address these risks should this be necessary. The company has a solid social housing customer base which has been developed over the years which underpins the business along with a broad range of energy efficiency services available to offer to the market in the event of any change to current circumstances

Health and safety risk - the company ensures that this aspect of its business is addressed by continued monitoring from management and training of its employees.

Product risk - the company maintains a network of suppliers and invests in building long-term relationships with them. Through the buying and accounts payable teams, regular contact is maintained with every active supplier to ensure continuity of supply.

IT risk - the company is dependent on reliable IT systems for managing and controlling the business. A disaster recovery plan is in place with the ability to use a manual system should the IT system fail. The company's IT function oversees all systems and has policies in place to protect software, hardware and data and to prevent unauthorised access to systems.

Fraud risk - there are internal control procedures to ensure that detailed checking is carried out in all areas of the business. The company's management reporting systems are designed, in part, to highlight irregularities at all stages of the cycle of funds through the business, during the disbursement of company funds as regards the safety and security of assets.

Currency risk - the company has minimal exposure to translation and transaction foreign currency risk.

Liquidity risk - the company has a strong working capital position with healthy cash reserves. The company mitigates liquidity risk by managing cash generation through operations and setting collection targets for debtor recovery.

Credit risk - the company maintains strong relationships with each of its key customers and suppliers and monitors the position at operational and board level on a regular basis.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
These include the monitoring of turnover, cost of sales and its component parts, gross margin, net profitability, staff turnover, health and safety and returns on capital employed.

The company places particular emphasis on the training and well being of its workforce and seeks to achieve this through in house and external training as well as the provision of occupational health screening to all employees.

Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Since the year end the directors are pleased to report that both order levels and turnover have increased and despite industry competitiveness a favourable outcome to the 2025 year is expected.

Specifically profits for 2025 are forecast to be maintained or improved from 2024 results due to maintaining existing contracts and business but also successful renegotiations on contract values and on cost control.

The directors are satisfied with the company's current performance and will continue with the strategies that have served its organic growth to date.

POLITICAL DONATIONS AND EXPENDITURE

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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 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.

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 company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
City Technical Services (UK) Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of City Technical Services (UK) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the 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 company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its 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 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the 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 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 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
City Technical Services (UK) Limited


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 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the 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 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
City Technical Services (UK) Limited


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:

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

The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the financial services sector.

We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company.

We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting relevant correspondence.

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

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

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

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

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

*performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;

*tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;

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

*investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

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

*agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

*reading the minutes of those charged with corporate governance;

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

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
City Technical Services (UK) Limited


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

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

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

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.

Significant judgements and estimates
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgments and estimates have been made include the estimation of the clawback provision , the depreciation rates,as well as best estimates of overhead accruals.

Turnover
Turnover represents amounts chargeable, excluding value added tax, in respect of the sale of services to customers.

Revenue from the provision of gas engineering services is recognised in the period in which the service is provided, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Short leasehold - 10% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost
Computer equipment - 25% on cost and Straight line over 3 years

Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost less estimated residual value of all tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

The company does not obtain legal title to stock until it is used on a contract and no asset is recognised until this is the case.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
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.

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

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Going concern
After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
