| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| The board of directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the group in the year under review is construction, working directly with end use clients and property asset owners, as a specialist main contractor. |
| BUSINESS REVIEW AND GENERAL OUTLOOK |
| Financial year 2025 represented another significant milestone in the group's journey to delivering the board's strategic vision of establishing a profitable £200m plus turnover enterprise. Whilst the group's plans for profitable growth are ambitious, the board is resolute in its commitment to adopting a cautious approach to project selection and has strong risk management disciplines. Turnover in the year ended 31 March 2025 was £170,829,117. |
| The Group's expansion has been driven by being the contractor of choice in the commercial, residential, hotel and leisure markets with client's valuing the accessibility of business unit "decision makers". RED's operating divisions have "short chains of command", meaning business unit leaders have first-hand insight into what needs to happen for RED to deliver on its promises and importantly, they have the authority to act. |
| The evolution of the group's divisional delivery structure continued through financial year 2025 in response to the growing scale of the business' operations: |
| - RED London now operates through three agile trading divisions, ensuring the respective leadership teams have a "hands-on" understanding of client needs as well as visibility on the opportunities and risks inherent in working in the capital. |
| - The group established RED Bedford in 2025, a construction delivery division based at RED's central services office in Bedfordshire. The divisional leadership team is predominately drawn from RED's existing resources, working with consultants and clients already known to RED. The key strategic objective of RED Bedford is to expand the group's geographic footprint into the Oxford to Cambridge corridor and capitalise on opportunities emanating from the planned Universal Studios investment in the Bedford area. |
| Our Values and approach |
| RED's core values are driven by relationships, channelling our enthusiasm into delivering on our promises and creating value in all that we do. Our clients choose us for our specialist knowledge, our employees choose us for our ambition and inclusive mindset. It is our mission to operate in an ethical and transparent manner that creates client value, embracing the innovation that keeps us evolving and helps us deliver best outcomes. We believe in creating an enjoyable, inclusive and safe environment, focused on empowering and training our teams to maximise their potential.. |
| This is our operating model which is built on three key components: |
| - Relationships building positive trusting, connections with our clients, teams and stakeholders to empower growth and success. |
| - Enthusiasm exerting passion and determination for service excellence, through innovation, engagement of positive opportunities and providing solutions to all challenges. |
| - Delivery on our promises, with pride, integrity, and transparency, for all stakeholders through the utmost respect for the environment and communities, creating a lasting legacy. |

| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| London, Regional and Sector Footprint |
| - RED London |
| RED is the solution to construction in the capital where the city's heritage and scale present unique and complex construction challenges which RED overcomes with expertise, innovation and integrity. RED's London team has extensive experience delivering a balanced mix of projects up to and in excess of £50.0m across new new-build, refurbishment and fit-out schemes in the hospitality, commercial and student accommodation sectors. Early engagement with clients ensures that from the onset, sustainable solutions are at the heart of every key decision thereby enriching surrounding neighbourhoods and boroughs. RED's portfolio in the capital includes projects such as 40 Broadway [Commercial], St Pancras Renaissance Hotel phases 3 and 4 [Hotels], Willen House [Student Accommodation] and Royal Cambridge Care Home Phase 2 [Senior Living] |
| - RED South West |
| Now in its fourth year of trading, RED South West, based in Bristol, is a firmly established local presence. Red South West offers unparalleled regional expertise and market knowledge, delivering an extensive portfolio of high-profile projects consistent with regional requirements, including commercial, residential, hotel & leisure, education and industrial buildings. |
| The focus for the division's leadership is on driving an increased market share with plans well advanced to open a new office in Exeter. RED's portfolio in the South West includes the award winning Zeal Hotel Exeter [Hotels], Moon Street [Student Accommodation] and The Crescent & Harbourside [Façade Remediation]. |
| - RED Special Projects |
| RED Special Projects is a division dedicated to delivering exceptional construction services, specialising in structural alterations, refurbishment and fit-out projects up to £10m in London and new build projects £5m to £35m in surrounding region. RED's highly experienced, creative and agile team is comfortable with complexity, inner-city restricted sites, logistical challenges and stringent technical demands. The division provides our clients with exemplary service and true value in a smart and responsive manner, supported by the resources of the group. RED Special Projects portfolio includes Bruton Place London [Commercial], Bromley Varney Court [Fire damage remediation] and Tower Suites [Hotels]. |
| - ONE MEP |
| ONE MEP is RED's mechanical, electrical and plumbing capability, established to provide integrated services ranging from traditional installation works through to total self-delivery, enhancing the breath of services RED can offer to clients on projects. This in-house delivery capability gives RED a competitive advantage in the provision of these essential services whilst protecting RED and its clients from a critical supply chain insolvency risk. |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| The group generated revenue of £170.8m in the financial year ended 31 March 2025 (2024: £114.8m). |
| During the year the Group completed projects such as Royal Cambridge Care Home Phase 1 for The Shappard Trust, Explore Richmond Commercial for Barwood Capital, Marriott County Hall Hotel for Marriott and Warick Castle Hotel for Merlin Entertainments |
| A dividend of £400,000 was paid during the year (2024: 251,000). |
| The Group has secured a strong order book for the financial year ending March 2026 and is forecasting revenues of circa £190m with £159m currently secure. The group maintains strong working capital disciplines and finances its working capital requirements from operating activities without the need for recourse to any external sources of funding. The group remains confident in the 'pipeline' of known and identified opportunities in its core markets. In the opinion of the directors the prospects for the business are very positive. |
| RED CONSTRUCTION GROUP LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 09802945) |
| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The Board uses key performance indicators (KPI's) to monitor the group's performance and management regularly reviews the key risks and opportunities of the business. |
| In addition to regular management reporting, the Board monitors KPI's on a range of activities including health & safety, training competencies, staff turnover, environmental issues, considerate contractors scheme scores, order book, profitability, working capital management and other financial and non-financial measures. |
| - Cash generated from operating activities is reviewed through monitoring debtors and work in progress. |
| - Profit and total comprehensive income for the financial year is another key measure and is included in the financial review. |
| SECTION 172 STATEMENT AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT |
| In line with our core values, the board recognises that the ongoing success of the business is dependent on strong relationships with stakeholders. Accordingly, when making decisions, the directors consider their likely impact on promoting the success of the business for the benefit of stakeholders as a whole, be they employees, clients, suppliers, subcontractors or the wider public. In doing so the board consider: |
| - The likely consequences of any decisions in the long term |
| - The interests of employees |
| - The need to foster ongoing positive relationships with suppliers, subcontractors, clients and others |
| - The impact of the business' operations on the community and the environment. |
| - The desire of the business to maintain a reputation for high standards of conduct |
| - The need to act fairly as between stakeholders. |
| Likely long-term consequences of decisions |
| The board of directors have invested in developing, communicating, and deploying a coherent strategy for the business, which focuses on long-term objectives and sustainable growth in line with our core values. |
| The interests of employees |
| Our people are the foundation of RED. The Group is an equal opportunity employer and fully accepts its obligations under all relevant legislation. We value the mix of strengths and insights this approach brings, and we are proud to have built a team with a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds. All employees are encouraged to work towards additional competencies reflective of their role in the Group. Our active in-house graduate recruitment and training programmes play a key role in creating an effective and united team whilst also helping foster the industry's next generation. |
| Fostering ongoing, positive relationships |
| At RED, investing in relationships is a core value. Building long-term, mutually beneficial relationships is paramount to successfully delivering our projects and our strategy. |
| Close relationships with clients from the earliest point in the project lifecycle is integral to the business success and stability. The board meet regularly with clients to ensure that our service delivery meets fully with their needs and requirements. |
| We highly value our supply chain partnerships and maintain a select list of preferred subcontractors and suppliers that uphold our agreed-upon standards. We actively engage with our supply chain both before and after tender stages to ensure that when we secure projects, we proceed in a manner that considers the needs of all parties involved. |
| RED CONSTRUCTION GROUP LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 09802945) |
| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| Impact on communities and environment |
| The Group is very aware of the dangers inherent in construction site environments. Health, safety and wellbeing are an integral part of our building process, embedded within the team and running through from planning to procurement and delivery of the scheme. The business has a robust process of regular independent inspections, the results of which are issued directly to the operations directors and the business owners. We are indebted to our people for creating a safe working environment but at the same time, we are not complacent about our desire to drive continuous improvements. |
| ''RED to Green'' is the group's ESG strategy which provides the roadmap to a sustainable workplace, delivering our construction activities in a sustainable way, minimising our impact on the environment and the communities we support. As a responsible business, we acknowledge the impact construction activities can have on the environment and we are passionate about minimising these whenever possible by taking a proactive, hands-on approach with both internal business activities and project deliverables. Our ''RED to Green'' journey will continue to evolve, building on innovation and targets that will ultimately benefit the group, our clients and the communities we support through construction. |
| High standards of conduct |
| Compliance with regulation, legal and ethical standards is a priority for the Group. The Board is committed to ensuring top-down compliance through a framework of policies, procedures and internal controls. All policies are subject to board approval and ongoing review by management. |
| Acting fairly between all stakeholders |
| The board understands that it is only by engaging with key stakeholders that it can truly understand their needs and concerns and the impact of its decision making on those key stakeholders. The business uses a variety of methods to engage both formally and informally, believing that much can be gained from personal interaction. The Board acknowledges that situations may arise where stakeholder groups have conflicting priorities. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The Group's operations expose it to various risks including health & safety risk, credit & cash flow risk, and supply chain risk. The group has delegated authorities in place to ensure its commitments are made at the appropriate level. Tenders are reviewed prior to acceptance to identify risk and ensure risks are at an acceptable level or can be managed to an acceptable level. |
| Health & Safety Risk |
| The responsibility for Health & Safety on a project is with the project lead, underpinning our belief that Health & Safety needs to be owned by the site team as a whole as an integral part of the building process and not just an add-on to our way of working. The ownership embedded within the team runs from planning to procurement and throughout the delivery of the scheme. The group has a dedicated health & safety department which continually strives for improvement in behaviours and processes on site with the aim of achieving zero accident rates. |
| Credit & Cash Flow Risk |
| New clients are approved as part of the tender process with the aim of ensuring those clients have committed funding in place before contractual commitments are undertaken. Existing clients are monitored for signs of potential credit risk. Debtors and work in progress is closely monitored throughout the construction process. |
| Construction is a capital intensive business with significant initial outlays when projects are mobilised. The Group maintains a strong focus on working capital management. Cash flow forecasts are reviewed on a frequent basis to ensure that the group is not operating beyond its financial means. |

| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| Supply Chain Risk |
| The group monitors its supply chain to ensure that subcontractors have the required technical, operational and financial capabilities before appointment. The availability of materials, subcontract labour and plant can have an impact on construction programmes. Inflationary pressures on those inputs can impact on construction margins as in some instances additional costs cannot be passed on to clients. |

| ENERGY AND CARBON EMISSIONS REPORTING |
| Over the past year, RED Construction has significantly enhanced the accuracy, coverage, and transparency of its carbon accounting process. Activity data has been collated from a wide range of sources, including company-verified systems such as BioSite and SmartWaste, utility bills, employee mileage claims, and project-level data submittals. This has enabled us to build a more comprehensive emissions profile across our operations. |
| The emissions have primarily been calculated using the 2024 UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting (DESNZ and DEFRA). Where applicable, embedded methodologies within SmartWaste and BioSite were used to calculate project-specific transport emissions. As part of this improvement process, we also identified and corrected a misclassification in our previous year's submission: project fuel and electricity purchased by sub-contractors or clients had been reported under Scopes 1 and 2, but these have now been accurately reallocated to Scope 3, in line with best practice. |
| We have expanded our Scope 3 reporting to include new categories such as office and site water consumption, site waste disposal, business travel (flights), and fuel and energy-related activities not included in Scopes 1 and 2. Greater granularity has also been achieved in the reporting of transport emissions. |
| Emissions with CO2 equivalent |

| Emissions Type | KWH | Tonnes CO2 e |
| Fuel Consumption - Company Vehicles | 2,598.90 | 0.60 |

| Total Tonnes CO2 | 1,240.11 |
| Intensity ratio (CO2 per £m Turnover) | 7.26 |
| Reflections on Last Year's Targets |
| Over the past 12 months, we have made significant progress in expanding data coverage, especially across smaller projects and indirect emissions categories. This expansion, however, also required us to change our approach. Some targets faced practical pushback and highlighted the importance of aligning ambition with operational feasibility. In response, we prioritised the development of our internal sustainability strategy to ensure future targets are both impactful and achievable. |
| Company carbon reporting key actions and commitments FY-2025-2026: |
| - Continue to develop our data collation and carbon accounting process to achieve better Scope 3 coverage, including expanding coverage of additional categories: materials purchased, office employee commuting and office waste. |
| - Continue to develop our carbon reduction strategy in line with our commitment to achieving net zero across Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030 and Scope 3 by 2050. |

| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| 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; |
| - | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
| - | 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, HW Bedford Limited, 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 |
| RED CONSTRUCTION GROUP LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Red Construction Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31st March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31st March 2025 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 |
| RED CONSTRUCTION GROUP LIMITED |
| 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 nine, 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 |
| RED CONSTRUCTION GROUP 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. |
| 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: |
| - Identifying and assessing the controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud; |
| - Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process; |
| - Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates and judgments pertaining to the assessment and evaluation of revenue recognition and subsequent measurement for the disclosure of client and subcontractor retentions in light of the stage of completion of construction contracts and expected release period of such retentions, amounts recoverable on contract, deferred revenue and accrued expenses recognition. |
| - Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations; and |
| - Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. |
| There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations are from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusions. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the accounting policy disclosure pages. |
| 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. |

| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Red Construction Group Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £. |
| The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| In applying the Company's accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The Directors' Judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on· the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered applicable. Due to the inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ, however, a conservative position is taken in all such estimates and judgements. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised. |
| Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies |
| The critical judgements that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the statutory financial statements are discussed below. |
| Revenue recognition on long term contracts |
| Determining the value of turnover to recognise prior to completion of a long term contract requires an estimation of the percentage of the contract that has been completed at the reporting date. |
| Profit recognition on long term contracts |
| The amount of profit or loss recognised is based upon the forecast outcome of the contract. Whilst every effort is made to ensure profit is only recognised when the outcome of the contract is reasonably certain, there remains a risk that the outcome is less favourable than originally anticipated. |
| Accruals and provisions |
| The board makes judgements regarding whether it is appropriate to accrue or provide for various liabilities, as well as estimating the sums it is appropriate to provide or accrue. |

| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Rendering of services |
| Turnover from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied: |
| - the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| - it is probably that the company will receive consideration due under the contract |
| - the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and |
| - the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably. |
| Interest income |
| Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. |
| Management fees |
| Management fees are recognised as income in the profit and loss account when the services are provided and the company has the right to receive payment. Management fees are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. |
| Retentions |
| Retentions represent amounts withheld by clients & suppliers under construction contracts until the completion of the project and the rectification of any defects. These amounts typically range from 2.5% - 5% of the contract value. Retentions receivable are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost as reduced by allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts and expected credit losses. Retentions payable are initially recognised at cost. Retentions are disclosed in line with the expected completion and rectification release period specific to each contract. |
| 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. |
| Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. |
| Depreciation is provided on the following basis: |
| Leasehold Improvements | - Over the life of the lease |
| Motor vehicles | - 25% on reducing balance |
| Office equipment | - 33% on cost |
| Mobile caravan | - 25% on reducing balance |
| The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or If there is an indication or 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 in profit or loss. |

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

| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash risk of with insignificant change in value. |
| In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management. |
| 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. |
| Short and long - term contracts |
| Profit on long-term contracts is taken as the work is carried out if the final outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty. The profit included is calculated on a prudent basis to reflect the proportion of the work carried out at the year end, by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses. Turnover is calculated as that proportion of total contract value which costs incurred to date bear to total expected costs for that contract. Revenues derived from variations on contracts are recognised only when they have been accepted by the customer. Full provision is made for losses on all contracts in the year in which they are first foreseen. |
| Trade debtors includes the projects certified value at the year end. This includes both invoiced amounts and uninvoiced amounts in the form of retentions receivable on work certified to date. Payments on accounts, included in creditors, represents where amounts received and receivable for a project exceeds the project's value at the year end. |
| Dividends |
| Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting. |
| Going concern |
| The directors have considered the budgets and cash flow forecasts for the Group. The Group has the continued support of red Construction Group Limited in meeting its liabilities as they fall due. Therefore, the financial statement have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
| 3. | TURNOVER |
