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, on a reducing balance basis. 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.The Company's principal activity during the year was that of

Strategic report
For the year ended 31 March 2025

Introduction
 
The directors present their Strategeic report for the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Principal activity and business review
 
The Company's principal activity during the year was that of electrical contracting.
The profit for the financial year amounted to £7,463,572 (2024: £7,375,592 as restated). Net assets of the Company as at 31 March 2025 were £23,688,958 (2024: £20,225,386 as restated). The directors consider the results for the financial year and the position of the Company to be strong.

Financial risk management

The Company's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include price risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Company has in place a risk management programme that aims to limit the adverse effects of the financial performance of the Company by monitoring levels of debt finance and the related finance costs.
Given the size of the Company, the directors have not delegated the responsibility of monitoring financial risk management to a sub-committee of the board. The policies set by the board of directors are implemented by the Company's finance department.
Price risk
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk as a result of its operations. However, given the size of the Company's operations, the costs of managing exposure to commodity price risk exceed any potential benefits. The directors will revisit the appropriateness of this policy should the Company's operations change in size or nature.
Foreign exchange risk
A sizeable part of the Company's revenues in the year were denominated in Euros resulting in the Company being potentially exposed to some foreign exchange risk in the normal course of business. Where appropriate, the Company uses basic hedging products placed with its principal bank to hedge foreign exchange exposure and mitigate risk.
Credit risk
The Company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made. The amount of exposure to individual customers is subject to a limit, which is reassessed regularly by the board.
Liquidity risk
The Company is funded though cash at bank and retained earnings with minimal debt within the Company. The Company actively reviews the availability of finance to ensure the Company has sufficient working capital funds for operations and any planned expansions.
Interest rate risk
The Company has both interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest bearing assets include treasury bills and cash balances, all of which earn interest at a variable rate. Interest bearing liabilities relate to bank overdrafts which are at a variable rate. The Company has a policy of trying to maintain debt at SONIA plus a fixed rate, where possible, to ensure certainty of future interest cash flows. The directors will revisit the appropriateness of this policy should the Company's operations change in size or nature.

For the year ended 31 March 2025

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The directors consider that the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Company are in the following categories:
Overview
Performance of the Company is affected by general economic conditions and by specific sectoral factors such as exchange rate volatility and availability of skilled labour. The Board carries out regular strategic reviews including assessments of competitor activity, market trends and forecasts and customer behaviour. The security of product supply is monitored by the directors on an ongoing basis with supplier financial strength, product quality and service levels regularly reviewed. The Company's active review of market prices and hedging of foreign exchange for contracts in Europe provides protection from exchange rate fluctuations.
Environment
The Company recognises its corporate responsibility to carry out its operations whilst minimising environmental impacts. The directors' continued aim is to comply with all applicable environmental legislation, prevent pollution and reduce waste wherever possible.
Health and safety
The Company is committed to achieving the highest practicable standards in health and safety management and strives to make all sites and offices safe environments for employees and customers alike.
Human resources
The Company's most important resource is its people; their knowledge and experience are crucial to meeting customer requirements. Retention of key staff is critical and the company has invested increasingly in employment training and development and has introduced appropriate incentive and career progression arrangements.

Key performance indicators
 
The Company's key performance indicators are as follows:

Directors' statement of compliance with duty to promote the success of the Company
 
From the perspective of the Directors, the matters for consideration under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006(“s172”) have been considered to an appropriate extent by the Company. Such consideration is included in the statements set out below, noting the Directors’ duty under s172 to act in good faith to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders but having regard amongst other matters to the following:

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 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.

For the Company, compliance is one of the cornerstone values and forms the basis for all decisions and activities. It is the key to integrity in conducting business. The Directors are committed to ensuring that all business is carried out in full accordance with the law as well as internal rules and principles.
The Board of Directors of the Company, both individually and together, confirmed that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in Section 172(1) (a-f) of the Act) in the decisions taken during the period ended 31 March 2025.
The following paragraphs summarise how the directors fulfil their duties:
As the Board of Directors, our intention is to behave responsibly and ensure that management operate the business in a responsible manner.
As the Board of Directors, we are committed to openly engaging with our shareholders. It is important to us that shareholders understand our strategy and objectives, so these must be clearly communicated, feedback heard and issues or questions raised properly considered.
As our services provided grow, our risk environment also becomes more complex. It is therefore, important that we effectively identify, evaluate, manage and mitigate the risks the Company faces. For details of our principal risks and uncertainties, please see previous paragraphs of our Company strategic report.
Our employees are vital to the services provided by the Company. We aim to be a responsible employer in ou approach to the pay and benefits for our employees. For our business to succeed, we need to manage our employees’ performance and develop talent while ensuring the Company operates as efficiently as possible. The health and safety of our employees is very important to us.
In order to grow our business, we need to develop and maintain strong business relationships. We value all of our suppliers and customers.


This report was approved by the board on 23 July 2025 and signed on its behalf.

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, Premier Electrics Limited's financial statements:


give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2025 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended; 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 'Responsibilities of the auditor 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, namely the FRC's Ethical Standard and the ethical pronouncements established by Chartered Accountants Ireland, applied as determined to be appropriate in the circumstances of the entity. 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 the date 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Premier Electrics Limited (continued)

Other matter


The financial statements of Premier Electrics Limited for the year ended 31 March 2024, were audited by BDO Northern Ireland who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 2 September 2024.



Other information


Other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon, including the Directors' report and the Strategic Report. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the 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 statementsour 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 in the financial statements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 Directors' report and the Strategic Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements, and 
the Directors' report and the Strategic 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 we have obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the  Directors' report and the Strategic 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Premier Electrics Limited (continued)


Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
 

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including FRS102 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, management is 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 management either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.


Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements
 

The objectives of an auditor 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 Auditor's report that includes their 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.

A further description of an auditor's 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 auditor's report.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
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. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatement in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:
 
Based on our understanding of the Company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to Data Privacy Laws, Employment Law, Environmental Regulations, Pension Regulations and Health and Safety Laws, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the  financial statements such as Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation tax laws. The Audit engagement partner considered the experience and expertise of the engagement team to ensure that the team had appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulation. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to manipulate financial performance and management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to significant one-off or unusual transactions.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Premier Electrics Limited (continued)

Explanation to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud (continued)

We apply professional scepticism through the audit to consider potential deliberate omission or concealment of significant transactions, or incomplete/inaccurate disclosures in the financial statements.
In response to these principal risks, our audit procedures included but were not limited to:
inquiries of management on the policies and procedures in place regarding compliance with laws and regulations, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
inspection of the Company’s regulatory and legal correspondence and review of minutes of the board of directors meetings during the year to corroborate inquiries made; 
gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risk related to fraud; 
discussion amongst the engagement team in relation to the identified laws and regulations and regarding the risk of fraud, and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance or opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of financial statements throughout the audit; 
identifying and testing journal entries to address the risk of inappropriate journals and management override of controls; 
designing audit procedures to incorporate unpredictability around the nature, timing or extent of our testing;
challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates, including estimating revenue recognition on amounts recoverable on contracts, allowances for impairment of debtors, provision for remedial works and estimating the useful lives of depreciable tangible assets; and
review of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and inquiries of management

The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with those charged with governance and management. As with any audit, there remains a risk of non-detection or irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or override of internal controls.


The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
 

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 an auditor’s 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.

General information

Premier Electrics Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in Northern Ireland. The address of its registered office is 16c Tamlaghtduff Road, Bellaghy, Magherafelt, County Londonderry, BT45 8JQ.
The Company's principal activity during the year was that of electrical contracting.  

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 preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption within Section 402 of the Companies Act 2006 from preparing consolidated financial statements on the basis that its only subsidiary undertaking is  dormant. Premier Music Ltd was incorporated in September 2017 and has been dormant since incorporation. As such, the financial statements present the results of the Company only.

 
2.3

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Company has secured a significant pipeline of contract work for the next financial year with a number of customers and has sufficient working capital funding and resources to undertake this work. As a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. The company meets its day to day working capital requirements through its own reserves and banking facilities and it has prepared a cash flow forecast for twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements which support its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the signing of the financial statements.
The directors are therefore confident that the company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of comprehensive income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

 
2.5

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue 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 revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is 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.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.6

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

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

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.7

Government grants

Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income in the same period as the related expenditure.

 
2.8

Interest income

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

 
2.9

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.

 
2.10

 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 profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.11

 Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year 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.


 
2.12

 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, on a reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property and leasehold property
-
Land - not depreciated
4% Buildings, reducing balance
Plant and machinery
-
15% reducing balance
Motor vehicles
-
25% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
-
15% reducing balance

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.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.13

 Impairment of assets

At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 
2.14

 Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.15

 Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 
2.16

 Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 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.

In the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management.

 
2.18

 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.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.19

 Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
 
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

 
2.20

 Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.21

 Derivates

Derivatives are classed as non-basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss within the line-item the derivative relates to. Currently, the Company has forward exchange contracts to cover the fluctuation in exchange rates related to purchases of inventories; hence, the changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded within cost of sales. The Company does not currently apply hedge accounting.

 
2.22

 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.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In applying the Comapny’s accounting policies the directors are required to make significant judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The directors’ judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made, and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ. The items in the financial statements where these judgments and estimates have been made include:
Revenue recognition on amounts recoverable on long term contracts
The recognition of revenue and profit on construction contracts is a source of estimation uncertainty given the estimates required to forecast the total costs to be incurred on a contract and the impact of variations on contracts. Reviews on open contracts are undertaken on a regular basis, with all significant contracts being reviewed on a monthly basis. The Directors also take into account the recoverability of contract balances and trade receivables, and allowances are made for those balances which are considered to be impaired.
In determining the revenue and costs to be recognised each year for work done on construction contracts, estimates are made in relation to the final out-turn on each contract. Once the outcome can be estimated reliably, estimates of the final out-turn on each contract may include cost accruals to take account of the specific risks within each contract that have been identified during the early stages of the contract. The cost accruals are reviewed on a regular basis throughout the contract life and are adjusted where appropriate. However, the nature of the risks on contracts are such that they often cannot be resolved until the end of the project and therefore may not fully reverse until the end of the project. Management continually reviews the estimated final out-turn on contracts and makes adjustments where necessary. If actual costs on open contracts increased more than expected the contract profit would potentially be impacted. Based on the above, management believes it is possible, on the basis of existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial year that are different from these assumptions could require an adjustment. Management and directors, however, leave sufficient time from the year end to when financial statements are approved and signed so that the level of estimation and judgement on open contracts is reduced to a low level and the risk of material adjustment on the contracts is reduced.

3.Judgements in applying accounting policies (continued)

The amounts recognised based on the estimates and judgements noted above are included within amounts recoverable on long term contracts disclosed within the Debtors note and represents management's best estimates of the outcome for the company's contracts and is subject to estimation as discussed above.
Allowance for impairment of debtors
The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful trade and group debtors based on assessment of specific accounts where the Company has objective evidence comprising default in payment terms or significant financial difficulty that certain customers and/or group undertakings are unable to meet their financial obligations. In these cases, judgement used was based on the best available facts and circumstances including but not limited to, the length of relationship. Details of trade debtors provision are disclosed in Note 15.
Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. Details of depreciation are disclosed in Note 12.
Provision for remedial work 
The provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. The provision is updated at each reporting date to reflect any changes in circumstances, including changes in estimates and actual costs incurred. If it becomes probable that the provision will not be required, the provision is reversed. Details of provision for remedial works are disclosed in Note 22.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss comprise derivative financial instruments.
The Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts to mitigate the exchange rate risk for certain foreign currency payables. At 31 March 2025, the outstanding contracts all mature within 12 months.
The forward currency contracts are measured at fair value, which is determined using valuation techniques that utilise observable inputs. The key inputs used in valuing the derivatives are the forward exchange rates for GBP:EUR. The difference between the fair value and the contract rate as at 31 March 2025 of the forward-foreign currency contracts is £(13,583).

Prior year adjustments

In the prior year amounts of £721,284 were transferred from fixed assets to the director's current account in relation to costs incurred in respect of leasehold improvements; depreciation charged in respect of this amount was reversed and the residual property value was impaired to £160,000.  In the current year, it is considered that these amounts relate to leasehold improvements and have been transferred back to fixed assets and measured at cost in line with accounting policy.  The impairment of £804,707 has also been reversed.
The impact of the correction of these errors is that fixed assets have increased by £1,349,611, directors current account has reduced by £721,284 and prior period reserves have increased by £650,409.
