| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The UK construction industry in 2024/25 has experienced mixed results, although the economic outlook remained positive. Even with growth forecast to be 1.9% in 2025 and 3.7% in 2026, there has been a consistent number of construction companies which have become insolvent year on year. |
| However, we are pleased to report the Breheny Group accounts for 2024/25, have continued to maintain healthy margins. To which keeps the group in the top 100 civil engineering companies in the UK. |
| The financial result for March 2024/25 is comparable with the previous year. The financial performance further strengthens our belief that our approach to pricing, risk and our investment in our people, help us deliver projects not only on budget, but to a high standard. The Breheny Group is regularly regarded as a preferred contractor and prides itself for winning repeat work from its existing client base. |
| BUSINESS OUTLOOK |
| It is important to maintain a cautious but positive approach to the forthcoming year. Government spending is under scrutiny and potential tax increases lower confidence in the economy. |
| Despite these challenges many of the companies with the Breheny Group have secured contracts and margins comparable to previous years. |
| We are continuing to invest in plant and machinery and more importantly our employees. We are also proactive in looking at ways to diversify our revenue streams. |
| Breheny Civil Engineering continues to be the flagship business within the group, however our groundworks and utilities companies, Terrasite and Networx respectively, continue to grow and flourish. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The principal risks of the business comprise: |
| Credit Risk |
| The group undertakes credit checks of new clients before entering into contracts and reviews continuously the credit ratings of existing clients. Credit risk is mitigated by securing parent and bank guarantees, working for a wide client base and maintaining positive cash balances. |
| Interest Rate and Liquidity Risks |
| The group reinvests profits to fund growth, develop the business and maintain positive cash balances. Therefore interest rate and liquidity risks are minimised. |
| Contractual Risk |
| The group is exposed to a variety of contractual risks according to the type of contract undertaken. Risks include: unknown ground conditions, adverse weather, material inflation and matching the client's requirements to the correct tender price. These risks are managed by regular contract reviews undertaken by the management team. |

| S172(1) (D) The impact of the group's operations on the community and the environment. The group considers |

| Report of the Directors |

| ENGAGEMENT WITH EMPLOYEES |
| The Welfare of our Employees |
| One of Breheny's major strengths it that it always has maintained the feel of a family run business. Directors and Senior Managers engage with it's workforce on a personal and professional level to bring out the best in not only employee but employer as well. |
| The stress and pressure of working in a challenging industry coupled with economic issues has driven understanding to ensure that mental health and wellbeing are at the forefront of the employment policy. We continue to offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) and Mental Health Programmes to our work force which has had a positive impact. |
| Communication |
| The group promotes an open door policy. Due to positive management, we encourage our staff to express ideas |
| and opinions for the betterment of the work place and individual. Group updates and workshops are held on a |
| regular basis to enforce group policy and to invite suggestion from all employees. It has been found that investing in |
| people has ensured job satisfaction and has enhanced the work place. |
| Health and Safety |
| The Group's behavioural safety initiative is called "Think Safe, Work Safe, Home Safe". This system is all |
| encompassing as it focuses both on safe and unsafe acts. This programme incorporates the principles of visible felt |
| leadership and utilises workplace observations and discussion to generate the necessary changes in behaviour at the point of work. |
| Financial and Economic Factors |
| Communication with our employees is critical at all times, not just in times of economic hardship. Through all forms of |
| communication, the group informs the work force of the negative and positive factors which impacts our industry and |
| ultimately the group. In order to maintain morale and certainty, this is paramount to ensuring we have a successful |
| workplace. |
| 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. |

| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| 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. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Breheny Group Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Breheny Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2025 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 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. |
| 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Breheny Group Limited |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page seven, 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. |
| 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 work is performed to include an assessment of the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement, including the risk of fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). |
| In identifying and assessing risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
| - | We plan our work to gain an understanding of the significant laws and regulations that are of significance to the entity and the sector in which they operate. We perform our work to ensure that the entity is complying with its legal and regulatory framework. |
| - | We obtained an understanding of how the company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to the management and people charged with governance. |
| We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: |
| - | Substantive procedures performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). |
| - | Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates. |
| - | Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular material journal entries and an assessment of year end journals. |
| - |
| Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. |
| 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. |

| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Breheny Group Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Basis of consolidation |
| The Consolidated Accounts incorporate the Accounts of Breheny Group Limited and all its subsidiary undertakings. A separate Profit and Loss Account dealing with the results of the company has not been presented in accordance with section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The acquisition method of accounting has been adopted. Under this method, the results of the subsidiary undertakings acquired or disposed of in the year are included in the consolidated profit and loss account from the date of acquisition or up to the date of the disposal. |
| An associate is an undertaking in which the Group has a participating interest and exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the company. The Group's share of the profits less losses of the associates is included in the consolidated profit and loss account and its interest in their net assets (including goodwill) is included in investments in the consolidated balance sheet. |
| Related party exemption |
| The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
| Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover comprises the value of contracting work executed during the year plus sundry sales and plant hire earnings. The value of contracting work is based on measured valuations, incorporating profit earned to the valuation date and adjusted for any anticipated losses. Other sales are invoiced upon performance of the services provided. |
| The amount by which recorded turnover on uncompleted contracts is in excess of payments on account is classified as amounts recoverable on contracts and separately disclosed in debtors. |
| The amount by which payments on account on uncompleted contracts is in excess of recorded turnover is classified as long term contract payments on account and separately disclosed in creditors. |
| Software development costs |
| Software development costs are valued at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation commenced once the software was ready for use, and is being written off over the estimated useful life, which is estimated to be 10 years. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Freehold land and buildings | - |
| Land and development costs | - |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Freehold property is held at the revalued cost on transition to FRS 102. All other classes of asset have been measured on the cost model. |
| Investment property |
| Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |

| Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Stocks and work in progress |
| Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
| Contract Work in Progress, in respect of short term contracts (less than one year), has been valued at the lower of cost including the appropriate production overheads and net realisable value plus a proportion of profit where the contract is material to the results in the year. Long term contracts (more than one year) have been valued on the same basis. |
| Financial instruments |
| The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares. |
| Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. |
| For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Foreign currencies |
| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
| The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
