| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| Review of business |
| The Principal activity of the Company is that of the sale, hire, repair, servicing and fleet management of powered mechanical equipment. |
| Overall turnover achieved was £47,002k (2023: £44,157k). the Company declared dividends during the year amounting to £Nil (2023: £Nil). There are no proposed dividends at the balance sheet date. |
| The Company made an operating profit for the financial year of £3,788k (2023: £4,204k) and loss before tax for the financial year of £218k (2023: profit £1,026k) as shown in the statement of comprehensive income. The Company had net assets of £6,858k (2023: £7,673k) at year end. |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The Directors consider that the following key performance indicators are the most effective measures of the performance of the business. These measures are reviewed each month by senior management. |
| Key Performance Indicator (£'000) | 2024 | 2023 |
| Revenue | 47,002 | 44,157 |
| EBIT | 3,788 | 4,204 |
| Operational key performance indicators include fleet utilisation of 90%, service response times of 4 hours, reduction in fleet maintenance spend, chargeable service revenue growth, 85% contract renewal rates, customer fleet uptime of 96%. |
| Principal risks and uncertainties |
| Foreign exchange risk |
| The Company has a nominal number of foreign currency denominated transactions each year. No significant currency balances are held at any one time. |
| Credit Risk |
| All customers are credit checked upon opening a new account and subsequently monitored for changes in credit history. STARK Group is the Company's largest customer and equates to more than 20% of revenue. |
| All customers are rechecked prior to commencement of any new contract. Where trucks are sold rather than leased, sales are generally transacted once cleared funds are received by the company. |
| Liquidity Risk |
| The Company has a rigorous cash forecasting process to assess cash requirements. The Company has consistently shown strong cash generation. |
| Interest rate risk |
| The Company's hire purchase borrowings are in the main subject to fixed interest charges. This allows Rushlift Limited to mitigate the risk of fluctuating rates of interest. |

| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| Section 172(1) statement |
| The Board of Directors of the Company have acted in a way that they considered, in good faith, to be most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard amongst other matters to: |
| - the likely consequences of any decision in the long term; |
| - the interests of the Company's employees; |
| - the need to foster the Company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others; |
| - the impact of the Company's operations on the community and the environment; |
| - the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and |
| - the need to act fairly as between members of the Company. |
| Considering the Company's stakeholders is an important way the board makes decisions, although in balancing those different perspectives, it won't always be possible to deliver everyone's desired outcome. |
| Decision making |
| Rushlift Limited is led by an Executive Leadership Team, comprising of the Vice President, General Manager and a number of directors, to provide strategic and operational leadership for the Company. Budgets are prepared by senior management to bear in mind the long term impact to the business and discussed with Doosan Bobcat EMEA S.R.O on an annual basis. |
| Doosan Bobcat EMEA S.R.O is the only shareholder of Rushlift Limited. The purpose of Rushlift Limited is to sell, hire, repair, service and the management of powered mechanical equipment. |
| Strategy |
| Stakeholders are at the core of the Company's business which is focused on building trusted and long-lasting relationships. |
| Throughout the year, there are quarterly strategic and operational business reviews initiated by the Board of Directors in order to assist business planning. In addition to this, a programme of Executive level engagement with respective customer counterparts is planned to manage the strategic agenda and maintain relationships from Board level through to operational delivery. |
| Rushlift Limited is a people-based organisation and the Board of Directors place people strategy high on their agenda. On an annual basis, the Board of Directors appraises the people strategy to ensure critical talent and key skills are maintained and developed within the organisation to meet the short and long-term business goals. By having this people strategy implemented ensures that the Directors acts fairly among the members of the Company. |
| Driving towards a lower carbon future has taken ever greater prominence in the strategic direction and focus of the Board of Directors and its management team. |
| Business conduct |
| Rushlift Limited's reputation lies not only in the quality of its products, but also in the value of its service. Rushlift Limited offers its customers one of the strongest warranties in the industry, providing the customers not only a peace of mind but also an added value to the product. |
| RUSHLIFT LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05493140) |
| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| Engagement with employees |
| The Directors of Rushlift Limited regards its employees as its most important resource. Its customers work with the Company because of the skills, competence and standards that its people bring to delivering their projects. The Board recognises that its workforce must be fully aligned to their individual and the Company success measures. To support this the Directors drive and encourage Inhwa. Inhwa means harmonious teamwork in the truest sense of the word, enshrined in our definition of fairness and camaraderie. Our idea of Inhwa inspires every colleague to behave and communicate with freedom, transparency and dignity, under a common set of fair rules. |
| As part of the Company's strategy the Directors regularly review benefits made available in support of employees. |
| Disabled employees |
| The practice of the Company is to seek to encourage and assist the employment of disabled persons, subject to their ability to perform the duties of the job without exposing themselves or other employees to abnormal risk. The training, career development and promotion of disabled persons is similarly encouraged and assisted. Arrangements are made wherever possible for retraining employees who become disabled to enable them to perform work identified as appropriate to their aptitudes and ability. |
| Engagement with suppliers, customers and others |
| Customers |
| Ensuring customer satisfaction is central to the values of the Board of Directors. Through its customers the Company generates and maintains a reputation that will extend across its markets and assist in the growth of the business. To maintain this harmonious relationship between our customers it is essential for Rushlift Limited to remain fair and transparent with our customers. |
| Key customers are engaged at many levels across the business, starting with the Directors and cascading down. Customer relationship plans are developed to ensure that engagement with clients is at the appropriate level within each organization. Rushlift Limited has collaborative relationships with many of its key customers, promoting open communication and discussion at all levels, leading to joint development of projects and speedy resolution of any challenges encountered. |
| The Board discusses the interactions with the customers of the organisation at all levels. Through this the Directors gain an understanding of the customer's problems, requirements and drivers. This allows the Directors to guide the tailoring of Company products and offerings to meet the aspects that customers deem most important to their businesses. Rushlift Limited continue to develop the services of the business in order to meet the needs of its customers. |
| Suppliers |
| Rushlift Limited has more than 100 active supply stakeholders that it works with throughout the year. The vast majority of these are within the UK, though some are local subsidiaries of larger international companies. The Board has initiated and approved processes that mean the Company treats these stakeholders fairly and ensures appropriate competition within its supply markets to help drive improving standards, service, specifications, environmental performance and overall cost. |
| The Board policy is to focus its strategic procurement activities and reduce suppliers in major supply categories. Using these suppliers, activities are limited to a small circle of partners that the organisation works with on a recurrent basis, using framework agreements, including agreed terms and conditions of trade, cost and rebate structures. Close contact is maintained with these suppliers giving them the opportunity to exchange information to help drive further performance (on both sides). |

| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| Community and environment |
| The Directors' goal is to develop and grow alongside society, as a trusted and trustworthy partner and make sure wherever the Company operates, it does so transparently and lawfully. The Directors aim to contribute to the development of talent in society and our community service activities promote both corporate and social development. |
| The Board of Rushlift Limited is committed to tackling the challenge to lower its carbon footprint. Rushlift Limited has installed electric charging bays to promote our stakeholders with environmentally friendly vehicle options. In addition to this, employees are no longer provided options on company car policies where CO2 emission is deemed to be high. |
| Regulators |
| The Board recognises the importance of open and continuous dialogue with its regulatory stakeholders to ensure legal and regulatory compliance. Accordingly, the Company corresponds with Companies House on a regular basis. The Company has relevant policies and procedures in place, and these are reviewed on a regular basis. Individual Directors engage with the key stakeholders of the Company, carry out various assessments to ensure compliance and mitigate potential regulatory issues. |
| When regulation requires compliance through employees, processes are in place to cascade these requirements through the Company in order to make sure they are adhered to and meet regulatory requirements and deadlines. |
| On behalf of the board: |
| RUSHLIFT LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05493140) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| The Board of Directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| Dividends |
| During the year, no interim dividend was paid. The Board of Directors also recommended that no final dividend be paid. |
| The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 December 2024 will be £Nil (2023: £Nil). |
| Future developments |
| The Global Market is experiencing a switch to Electric Fork Trucks to reduce the environmental impact from Diesel and Gas trucks. Doosan's range of electric Battery trucks has been well received into the market and has facilitated market share increases. |
| The Directors believe the prospects for the Company are increasingly positive in the medium term, despite operating in mature and price competitive markets. |
| Events since the end of the year |
| Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements. |
| Directors |
| Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
| RUSHLIFT LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05493140) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| Financial instruments |
| a) Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition |
| Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is described below. |
| Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. |
| b) Financial assets |
| The Company's accounting policy is as follows: |
| These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (trade receivables), but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. |
| c) Financial liabilities |
| The Company classifies its financial liabilities into categories, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows: |
| Other financial liabilities include trade payables, amounts due to group undertakings and other short-term monetary liabilities. Group undertakings include all companies owned or controlled by Doosan Corporation, the ultimate parent undertaking of the Company. They are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative purposes or for hedging purposes. |
| d) Impairment |
| IFRS 9 requires that credit losses on financial assets are measured and recognised using the 'expected credit loss' (ECL) approach. Credit losses are the difference between the present value (PV) of all contractual cashflows and the PV of expected future cash flows. The Company has applied the simplified approach and records lifetime expected losses on all trade receivables, amounts due from customers and bank balances. |
| Going concern |
| As part of preparation of the financial statements, the Directors have carried out a review with respect to going concern. The Directors have examined the order book going forward and the prospects of the business given the current economic climate. They have reviewed cash flow forecasts associated with that order book and those prospects. The Directors have considered a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements. |
| The Directors have at the date of approving these financial statements, 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 financial statements. |
| DIRECTORS' INDEMNITIES |
| The Company has in place Directors and Officers Indemnity Insurance to cover against legal claims. |
| Streamlined energy and carbon reporting |
| Environmental matters and sustainability is an important topic for the Company and our partners. Rushlift Limited is part of a European initiative, within the trend towards green logistics, to lead the industry on impact reduction through responsible energy use and minimising CO2 emissions in material handling. |
| RUSHLIFT LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05493140) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| We collaborate with our customers to minimise CO2 emissions in their operations through promoting efficient driver training techniques that reduce energy usage and improving energy efficiency in new products. All of our partner factories in Europe, and Bobcat, have ISO14001 certified environmental management systems, recognising our effort of responsible manufacturing. |
| Our approach to reporting is based on the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. In line with the guidance on Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting Regulation (SECR) we have included the energy and emissions for the buildings we lease where we are responsible for energy consumption. |
| The Company continues to improve on energy efficiency including: |
| - | the installation of LED lighting and light sensors throughout a number of business locations; |
| - | installation of electric charging bays; |
| - | limiting the number of vehicle journeys by working with our outsourced transport providers; |
| - | continuing development of green technologies within the hire fleet; and |
| - | the promotion of electric/hybrid vehicles across our non-commercial vehicle fleet. |
| The Company is committed to reducing its Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHG) and will continue to identify means to improve energy efficiency and monitor our impact on the environment. |
| The table below sets out a summary of the Company's energy usage and associated emissions. |
Utility |
2023 Consumption (kWh) |
2023 Consumption (tC02e) |
Intensity Ratio (GHG/£'000 of turnover) |
| Grid Supplied Electricity | 290,409 | 60.14 |
| Gaseous and Other Fuels | 416,825 | 83.36 |
| Total | 707,234 | 143.46 | 3.25 |
Utility |
2024 Consumption (kWh) |
2024 Consumption (tC02e) |
Intensity Ratio (GHG/£'000 of turnover) |
| Grid Supplied Electricity | 340,456 | 70.50 |
| Gaseous and Other Fuels | 575,301 | 115.06 |
| Total | 915,757 | 185.56 | 3.95 |
| Details of methodology used to calculate the figures in the above table: |
| Where possible, energy consumption expressed in kWh has been taken from supplier invoices. Estimates used in this calculation include the correction factor and calorific value which was taken from the December 2024 invoice and applied to the total unit movement in the year. The impact of transport has been excluded as this is outsourced to a third party. |
| CO2 emission data and emission factor database used are considered with the 2024 UK Government environmental reporting guidance. |
| Statement as to disclosure of information to auditors |
| The Board of Directors consider that the annual report and accounts, taken as a whole, is fair, balances and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company's position and performance, business model and strategy. |
| In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors' Report is approved: |
| - | so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and |
| - | they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| RUSHLIFT LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05493140) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| Auditors |
| A resolution to re-appoint Mitchell Gordon LLP as auditors for the ensuing year has been decided on by the Board of Directors. |
| On behalf of the board: |
| RUSHLIFT LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05493140) |
| Statement of Directors' Responsibilities |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| The Board of Directors' are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the Board of Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under law the Board of Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with international financial reporting standards. Under company law the Board of Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Board of 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 IFRSs have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and |
| - | Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The Board of Directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| The Board of Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Rushlift Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Rushlift Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its loss for the year then ended; |
| - | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
| - | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
| Basis for opinion |
| We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Rushlift Limited |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| - | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page ten, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
| In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: |
| - | the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| - | we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sectors in which the company operates; |
| - | we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection compliance, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; |
| - | we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and |
| - | identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
| These procedures did not identify any potentially material actual or suspected non-compliance. |
| We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: |
| - | making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and |
| - | considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Rushlift Limited |
| To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
| - | performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
| - | reviewed material journal entries to identify unusual transactions or posting by unusual users; |
| - | assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and |
| - | investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
| In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
| - | agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
| - | reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
| - | enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
| - | reviewing correspondence with HMRC and the company's legal advisors. |
| Owing 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 in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. |
| In addition, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance of fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws & 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. |

| Basis of preparation |
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
| In accordance with the provisions of Section 401 of The Companies Act 2006, and paragraph 4 of IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial Statements) the company is exempt from the obligation to prepare and deliver group financial statements as the company is included in the audited consolidated financial statements of its ultimate parent undertaking. Accordingly these financial statements present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not as a group. |
| Going concern |
| As part of preparation of the financial statements, the Directors have carried out a review with respect to going concern. The Directors have examined the order book going forward and the prospects of the business given the current economic climate. They have reviewed cash flow forecasts associated with that order book and those prospects. the Directors have considered at least a period of twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements. |
| Current liabilities exceed current assets as at the balance sheet date, the liabilities consist of lease liabilities due on tangible assets which are generating monthly hire revenue. This monthly revenue contributes to the monthly commitment of these lease liabilities. |
| The Directors have at the date of approving these financial statements, 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 financial statements. |

| Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. |
| The following accounting policy paragraphs detail the key source of estimation uncertainty and judgement that the Board of Directors have made in the process of applying the company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
| Revenue |
| Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods and services supplied, excluding the value added tax and trade discounts. Revenue in respect of goods sold is recognised when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, generally being at the point at which goods are dispatched. |
| There are no significant judgements required in either determining the company's performance obligations, because the majority of the company's revenue is recognised when goods are provided to the customer, or in the timing of revenue recognition. As revenue is typically recognised at amounts agreed in advance with customers, no significant estimates are required in determining transaction prices. Revenue is calculated at cost plus margin. |
| Revenue from operating lease contract is recognised in the amount of the lease instalments over the term of the contracts using the straight-line method. |
| All revenue arose in the United Kingdom. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Property, plant and equipment |
| Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, which includes the purchase cost plus costs directly associated with bringing the asset into use including interest, where required, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. |
| Improvements to property | Straight line over the term of the lease |
| Hire fleet | Straight line over the useful life of the asset |
| Plant, equipment, furniture and fittings | Straight line over the useful life of the asset |
| Motor vehicles | 25% on cost and 10% on cost |
| Computer equipment | 33% on cost |
| Financial instruments |
| a) Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition |
| Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is described below. |
| Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. |
| b) Financial assets |
| The Company classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. The Company's accounting policy is as follows: |
| These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (trade receivables), but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. |
| c) Financial liabilities |
| The Company classifies its financial liabilities into categories, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows: |
| Other financial liabilities include trade payables, amounts due to group undertakings and other short-term monetary liabilities. Group undertakings include all companies owned or controlled by Doosan Corporation, the parent undertaking of the company. They are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative purposes or for hedging purposes. The company does not hold any financial liabilities classified as held for trading. |
| d) Impairment |
| The carrying amounts of the company's assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. |
| An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. |
| Inventories |
| Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value (being the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and selling expenses) on a first in, first out basis. |
| Inventory costs comprise of the purchase price. Cost of good sold includes purchase price, direct labour and appropriate production overheads based on the normal levels of business activity. |

| Income tax |
| The income tax expense for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and unused tax losses. |
| The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the entities in the company operates and generates taxable income. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases, at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities settled, based on those rates which are enacted or substantially enacted. Deferred tax is not recognised if it arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. |
| Current and deferred tax on items that are accounted for in other comprehensive income or equity are recognised in other comprehensive income and equity respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxing authority. |
| Leases |
| Leases are recognised as finance leases. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments which have not yet been made and subsequently measured under the amortised cost method. The initial cost of the right-of-use asset comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, lease payments made prior to the lease commencement date, initial direct costs and the estimated costs of removing or dismantling the underlying asset per the conditions of the contract. |
| Where ownership of the right-of-use asset transfers to the lessee at the end of the lease term, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. If ownership of the right-of-use asset does not transfer to the lessee at the end of the lease term, depreciation is charged over the shorter of the useful life of the right-of-use asset and the lease term. |

| Operating expenses |
| Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or as incurred. Expenditure for warranties is recognised when the group incurs an obligation, which is typically when the goods are sold or services provided. |
| IAS 27 - Separate Financial Statements |
| The company prepares separate financial statements as consolidation is prepared by the ultimate parent company in Korea for the shareholders and the Korean stock market. |
| Trade and other receivables |
| Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at their amortised cost less impairment losses based on the Board of Directors' view of the collectability of those receivables. The amount of provision is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
| Trade and other payables |
| Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost. |
| Provisions |
| A provision is recognised in the balance sheet if, as a result of a past event, there is a present legal or constructive obligation that can be measured reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. |
| Foreign currency translation |
| (a) Functional and presentation currency |
| Items included in the financial statements of the company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in 'Pounds Sterling' (£), which is also the company's functional currency. |
| (b) Transactions and balances |
| In the financial statements, all assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date or at the agreed contractual rate. Income and expenses have been translated using the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are charged or credited to profit or loss. |
| Non-monetary items are not retranslated at the year-end and are measured at historical cost, translated using the exchange rates at the transaction date. |
| Employee benefit costs |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate. |

| 18. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
| Risk management objectives and policies |
| The Company’s activities expose it to certain financial risks. The Company’s overall risk management approach is to identify the risk exposures and implement safeguards which seek to manage these exposures and minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company. The Board of Directors are responsible for monitoring and managing the financial risks of the Company. The Board of Directors monitor these risks through monthly board meetings and ad hoc discussions with senior management, should the need arise. |
| Credit risk |
| Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company has exposure to credit risk through its receivables balance. The maximum exposure to credit risk is its receivable balance. |
| The Company manages its credit risk through the implementation of tight credit terms, and through its internal credit control function. Customers who are issued credit will be subject to stringent credit checks in advance, and customer credit will be postponed where overdue debtors meet a certain point. |
| Liquidity risk |
| Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. |
| The Company operates a range of policies to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity and cash to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Regular cash flow forecasts are prepared by management over a 5 year period, and updated regularly to monitor the cash position of the company. |
| Interest rate risk management |
| Interest rate risk arises from the potential change in interest rate that may have an adverse effect on the company in the current reporting year and in future years. |
| Interest rate sensitivity analysis |
| The sensitivity analyses have been determined based on exposure to interest rate. For floating rate liabilities, analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the end of reporting year was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of reasonably possible change in interest rates. |
| Market risk |
| The Company's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates. There has been no change to the Company's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured. |
| Foreign currency risk management |
| The company's activities has limited exposure to foreign currency risks as vast majority of purchases are within the UK. |
