The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Review of business

As parent of S + B UK Limited, the company is a non-trading holding company.

The principal activity of the group during the year was the manufacture, delivery and installation of specialist laboratory furniture and fume cupboards across UK Education, International overseas schools, UK Universities, UK Pharmaceutical and Life Science sectors.

Key Performance Indicators

The directors consider the key performance indicators of the business to be turnover and operating profit. Levels of

turnover have increased over this period compared to the year ending December 2023, as well as the operating profit.

2024

2023

Turnover

£11,950,299

£10,306,988

Operating profit

£1,817,113

£1,058,520

Increased turnover, various purchasing efficiencies and cost control initiatives have been implemented over the year which helped uplift profit margins from that at the end of December 2023.

The directors are happy with the performance of the group and in particular the continued growth in turnover.

Future trading

We are seeing increased spending in the life science sector and international school market. This in line with the group's reputation across all sectors continues to give us plenty of opportunities to secure new and repeat business. With this said future trading prospects for the business look very promising, due to the ongoing demand within all the markets we operate in and the strength of our current order book.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The major risks and uncertainties for the group are labour and material prices. Although we have seen more cost

certainty in recent times, this still remains a risk going forward. To help mitigate these risks we regularly forward buy materials and hardware. In addition to this we periodically update our costing templates, so that any material and labour increases can be captured at quotation stage.

A large amount of the group's work is undertaken as a Sub-Contractor to a Main Contractor. Each contract is reviewed by a qualified person to determine any associated risk, bring resolution and or control any agreements made.

The group invest heavily in building relationships with major specifiers, developers, owners and contractors. Within its production facility the aim is to have a long-term flexible workforce that can react to differing levels of demand whilst improving health and safety and maintaining the quality of workmanship.

Price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cashflow risk.

The primary business mechanisms are bank balances, trade debtors and trade creditors. The main purpose of these mechanisms is to finance the business operations. With regard to bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by continual cashflow forecasts, projecting the monies in and out over any given six-month period. All the business cash balances are held in such a way that achieves a competitive rate of interest.

In terms of credit and cashflow risk, trade debtors are managed by polices concerning the credit offered to customers and monitoring the amounts outstanding for both age and credit limits.

Trade creditors' liquidity risk is managed by making sure that sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due.

Future development

The group's goal is to maintain a significant presence in the markets we operate in and enhance its coverage over the growing Life Science and international school markets. This approach will have the group well positioned to increase turnover/profits over the coming years.

Going concern

The directors have reviewed the group's forecasts and projections and are very confident that the group has

adequate funding and resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

The group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

On behalf of the board:

Mr P Bentham - Director

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;

-	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, Sumer Auditco Limited, were appointed as auditor to the Company and are deemed to be re-appointed.

On behalf of the board:

Mr P Bentham - Director

30 October 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of SNB 06 Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

-	give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the group's 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.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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.

- Consideration was given to the entity's susceptibility to material misstatement at all times during the audit including consideration of how fraud could occur. This involved consideration of the nature of the entity's activities and transactions with the potential identification of fraud.

- Identification of key laws and regulations considered central to the entity, including a review of any policies and procedures in place to ensure compliance. Key laws and regulations identified include the UK Companies Act, tax legislation & health and safety regulations in relation to construction.

- Ensured that the engagement team had the necessary competence and capabilities to identify any examples of

non-compliance at all stages.

- Audit work was completed in all relevant areas that were deemed to be appropriate for the client and the associated risks in respect of potential misstatements, including fraud. Our audit work was designed to assess these risks in all areas and included enquiry of management, testing the appropriateness of journal entries, reviewing financial statement disclosures and tracing to relevant documentation as well as the consideration of the risk of potential management override.

Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material

misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit inaccordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of

internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with 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.

Other matters which we are required to address

The comparatives were not audited, as the group was eligible to claim exemption from a statutory audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006. Therefore the prior year financial statements were not subject to audit. The information available in respect of the prior year was sufficient for us to obtain appropriate audit evidence. Our opinion therefore remains unqualified.

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

SNB 06 Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

2.	STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.

3.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The results of subsidiaries acquired or sold are consolidated from or to the date on which control passes. On consolidation, all intra-group transactions and balances are eliminated in full.

Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The consideration in respect of the business combination measured at the aggregate of the fair values of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the subsidiary undertaking.

The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company

SNB 06 Limited together with it subsidiary.

All financial statements are made up to 31st December 2024. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the group.

All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are

eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

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 is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Improvements to property

-

at varying rates on cost

Plant and machinery

-

at varying rates on cost

Fixtures and fittings

-

Motor vehicles

-

at varying rates on cost

Stocks

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated by reference to the most recent purchase price.

Stock provision is provided for slow moving stock.

Goods in transit are included at cost, based on the purchase invoice relating to each item.

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.

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.

Going concern

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