STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

INTRODUCTION
 
The Directors present their Strategic Report for Kendall Kingscott Limited for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The accounting period was adjusted to align with RSK Group following the Company’s acquisition in October 2024. As a result, this report covers a 10-month trading period. Where applicable, pro-rated figures have been used to provide meaningful comparisons with prior performance.

BUSINESS REVIEW
 
For the 10-month period ended 31 March 2025, Kendall Kingscott achieved a turnover of £14.61 million, compared to £15.74 million in the preceding 12-month period. On an annualised basis, this equates to a projected turnover of £17.53 million, reflecting 11.4% year-on-year growth.

Gross profit for the shorter period totalled £5.46 million, inclusive of £1.4 million in direct sub-consultant costs, up from £5.794 million the previous year. This represents a gross margin increase from 36.8% to 37.4%, an improvement of 0.6%. When excluding direct sub-consultant appointments, gross margin is approximately 42% for both years, comfortably exceeding our benchmark target of 40%. Operating profit remained strong, and EBITDA outperformed target productivity ratios, aligned with our strategic growth objectives.

The balance sheet closed at £3.79 million, up from £3.23 million in the previous year and £2.32 million in FY2022/23 – a significant increase in asset value over 22 months. The Company is debt-free, with £1.109 million in cash reserves and improved debtor days driven by enhanced collection processes.

Despite a turbulent macroeconomic backdrop, the Company continued to perform strongly across all key indicators. Inflationary pressure, interest rate volatility, and international geopolitical tensions contributed to broader market uncertainty. The October budget from the new Labour government introduced additional cost burdens through higher National Insurance contributions, significant increases to the National Minimum Wage, and other tax-related policy changes that took effect in April 2025. These came on top of recent corporation tax increases and have required a further review of efficiencies and productivity ratios to protect margins.  Looking forward, we are excited by the prospect of Artificial Intelligence and the potential it brings to our business, though remain cautious in its implementation given its current pace of development.

Towards the end of the year, there has been some early signs that government’s commitment to investment in housing, decarbonisation, health, and infrastructure - all core markets for Kendall Kingscott - has begun to materialise. Notably, an increase in health-sector capital expenditure towards the end of the financial year led to several new commissions now secured in FY2025/26.

Our strong and diverse business model has once again demonstrated resilience under pressure. The combination of multi-disciplinary service lines and sector balance has underpinned sustained growth, increased productivity, and improved operational efficiency.

Looking ahead, the Board remains confident in the Company’s trajectory. Having delivered near 80% revenue growth and improved profitability over the past five years, our sights are now set on maintaining this momentum, underpinned by a robust platform for continued strategic expansion.

In October 2024, following a robust and thorough process, Kendall Kingscott Limited became part of the RSK Group—an ambitious international environmental consultancy comprising over 250 business units across a broad spectrum of technical services. This acquisition represents a significant milestone in our strategic journey, unlocking accelerated access to national coverage, new markets, and a wider service offering through group-wide specialisms. These capabilities further enhance our ability to support clients with a single point of access to integrated consultancy solutions.

RSK’s cultural identity closely aligns with our own. Their purpose-driven approach fosters an environment where people can thrive, underpinned by clear net-zero ambitions, strong social value commitments, and a largely employee-owned structure that offers all staff a pathway to ownership. It was essential that Kendall Kingscott’s independent identity, heritage, and core values remained intact. Integration into the RSK Group has enabled us to do exactly that—continuing to serve our loyal client base with authenticity, while benefiting from the scale and structure of a wider organisation

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025


We are now entering a bold new phase of growth, with new offices planned for Manchester and Nottingham in September 2025, providing enhanced geographic reach to both new and existing clients. Alongside our growing presence in prime central London, including our hub office and Teddington base, this expansion positions us towards a national delivery model.

Our distinctive interdisciplinary model -1-Team - remains a cornerstone of our service offering. This approach delivers project lifecycle services through a single, integrated team, ensuring consistency, quality, and accountability. Since the launch of our refreshed brand in 2023, we have intensified our market visibility and profile. This brand evolution, aligned with our enhanced marketing and communication efforts, has directly supported continued business growth, with 2024/25 marking our most significant growth period to date.

We continue to celebrate our achievements, analyse our performance, and promote industry-leading metrics, particularly in staff retention, training, and wellbeing. Feedback from clients, employees, and candidates has been overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing the strength of our approach.

Looking ahead, our strategic ambition is to grow our team to over 300 professionals within five years, delivering high-quality services across the UK and potentially internationally. At the heart of this vision is our people-first culture, underpinned by initiatives designed to nurture talent, empower teams, and embed a culture of lifelong learning. Our bespoke ‘KK Way’ training model anchors this strategy and reflects our enduring commitment to professional development.

Our purpose remains clear: to act with integrity, reflect often, and evolve continually - ensuring we provide exceptional, market-leading service that genuinely supports our clients’ ambitions.

To support this, our work continues to actively pursue several strategic objectives:

Enhancing visibility and market reputation.
Attracting and retaining the best talent.
Standardising office practices across all locations.
Centralising our corporate services for efficiency and consistency.
Creating new growth-focused roles.
Preparing to lead in the green revolution and emerging compliance landscapes.
Formalising our net-zero strategy in advance of 2030.
Championing social value through meaningful partnerships.
Leveraging AI to drive productivity and maintain a competitive edge.
Expanding our services into Interior Design, Building Safety Advisor, Sustainability Consulting, and Fire Safety.

Trading in the current financial year is robust, with first quarter performance aligned with forecast expectations. We anticipate further momentum in the second half of the year and are confident in achieving continued growth into FY26/27, though to a lesser extent than recent years, allowing for consolidation before further growth beyond.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
The Company operates in a complex macroeconomic and political landscape that presents several operational risks, yet its diversified service offering and broad sectoral footprint offer strong resilience.

Economic and Political Environment
The UK’s economic climate continues to be shaped by inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, and geopolitical instability. Although inflation showed signs of moderation during the year, rate cuts were delayed, prolonging strain on private sector investment. The October 2024 Budget, introduced by the newly elected Labour government, brought further cost pressures through increased National Insurance contributions and uplifts in the National Minimum Wage. These changes, combined with historic corporation tax hikes, have placed further cost burden on the business community.
Nevertheless, there are signs of government commitment to investment in critical sectors such as housing, decarbonisation, health, and infrastructure—areas that align closely with Kendall Kingscott’s strategic focus. Our sector diversity and adaptable business model continue to offer strong protection against isolated downturns.
Group Dynamics and Structural Risk
Integration within the RSK Group introduces both opportunity and operational complexity. The potential for internal competition within the Group is being managed through clearer demarcation of services and improved coordination. The ability to access specialist consultancy services within RSK has enhanced our client offering, particularly in sustainability, fire safety, and MEP. 
Labour and Skills Shortages
Recruitment continues to be a key operational challenge, particularly in securing senior MEP professionals and Chartered Building Surveyors.   Our enviable internal Academy programme continues to provide resilience against recruitment challenges, where we have invested considerably and upscaled its ambitions to reflect our growth trajectory.    Accordingly, graduate first-time qualification success rate is exceptional – close to 90% pass at the first attempt.  Consequently, we have an excellent track record of recruiting high quality graduate and apprenticeship talent.        
Operational and Compliance Risk
The evolving regulatory environment, particularly surrounding the Building Safety Act 2022, requires continued vigilance and capability development. Our Lead Designer responsibilities have now been embedded following robust training over the past 18 months. Further regulation around decarbonisation and ESG reporting will require adaptive responses, for which we are preparing through improved carbon tracking and training initiatives. 
Technological Change
We are actively exploring the use of AI to enhance productivity, although adoption is being carefully calibrated to avoid risk and ensure human oversight. Investment in cloud-based infrastructure is ongoing, with system migrations scheduled in FY25 to support better collaboration and data security.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025


FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
 

The Company monitors a suite of financial KPIs to track progress against its strategic objectives.
We carry out monthly performance reviews covering management accounts, cash flow forecasts, pipeline health, debtor and creditor management and project sensitivity analysis to ensure timely response to variances.   

OTHER KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
 
People & Culture: Staff engagement and retention remain industry leading. Our ‘KK Way’ training model and expanded graduate programme support long-term capacity building and leadership development.
Client Satisfaction: Feedback indicates high client loyalty, supported by our integrated 1-Team model and national delivery focus.
Sustainability & ESG: We are on track for net zero before 2030. The rollout of EV vehicles, installation of solar PV systems, and implementation of the THRIVE platform demonstrate progress on both environmental and social value fronts.
Brand & Market Presence: The 2023 rebrand has increased industry visibility. Strategic marketing campaigns and investment in content creation continue to drive market engagement.
Technology Investment: Cloud migration and centralised IT systems will be implemented in the current financial year to support scalability and enhance security posture.
Risk Mitigation & Governance: Continued ISO9001, ISO14001, and Cyber Essentials certification provide quality and security assurance.
We maintain a balanced portfolio of public and private sector projects, consistently delivering beyond expectations. Our project pipeline is healthy, with continued success in securing new contracts and maintaining existing relationships.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KENDALL KINGSCOTT LIMITED
OPINION


We have audited the financial statements of Kendall Kingscott Limited (the 'company') for the period ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity , the Statement of Cash Flows, and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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 March 2025 and of its profit 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 company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.


OTHER INFORMATION


The other information comprises the information included in the Strategic report and Directors report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Strategic report and Directors reportOur opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.

the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report 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 company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.


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


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 Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 6, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KENDALL KINGSCOTT LIMITED (CONTINUED)

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 an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


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:

The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
Results of our enquires of management and directors in relation to their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities within the Company; and
Any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the 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; the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations.

As a result of these procedures, we have considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the
organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in accounting for revenue relating to long term
contracts.

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 have also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates in, focussing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures within the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and UK tax legislation. In addition, we considered provision of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with them may be fundamental for the Company’s ability to operate or avoid a material penalty. These included building regulation laws, health and safety legislation, environmental legislation and employment legislation.

Our audit procedures performed to respond to the risks identified included, but were not limited to:

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;
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess the recognition of revenue;
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates; Identifying and testing journal entries, evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud; and
Review of board meeting minutes.

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KENDALL KINGSCOTT LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements,recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.
 
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 Auditors' Report.


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 2006Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1.


GENERAL INFORMATION

Kendall Kingscott Limited is a private limited company, limited by shares, incorporated within the United Kingdom and registered within England and Wales.  The Company's registered office is Spring Lodge,172 Chester Road, Helsby,Cheshire, WA6 0AR and its registered number is 04605743.
The functional currency of Kendall Kingscott Limited is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
2.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The accounting period was adjusted to align with RSK Group following the Company’s acquisition in October 2024.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

GOING CONCERN

The directors have assessed the likely future cash flows at the date of approving these financial statements. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence and to meet the financial obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 
The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Director’s report.
The Company's forecasts and projections show that the company should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. 
Therefore, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.3

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised:

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 turnover can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the company will receive the 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.

 
2.4

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, using the following methods.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Motor vehicles
-
25% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
-
10% straight line
Office & computer equipment
-
10-20% straight line

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of 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.

 
2.5

DEBTORS

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. 

 
2.6

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 with insignificant risk of change in value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.7

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.

 
2.8

FINANCE COSTS

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.9

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.

 
2.10

OPERATING LEASES

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 
2.11

PENSIONS

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN
The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in other creditors as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

 
2.12

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.13

PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year that the company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of Financial Position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of Financial Position.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.14

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.



3.



JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgments and
estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgments and estimates have been made include:

Amounts recoverable on contracts are recognised on the proportion of work completed to date on the
project. The attributable profit is recognised once the outcome of the project can be assessed with
reasonable certainity.


4.
