| Group Strategic Report |
| for the year ended 31st March 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31st March 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| Econ has had a successful year of trading, with increased operations at Ripon from maximising new technology, increased efficiency and additional plant and machinery. New products including our new electric trailer has been added to our sales catalogue. Our research and development team is continuously looking at improvements and new products to ensure we meet the needs of our customers. |
| Sowerby Service centre continues to operate at full capacity servicing the hire fleet and preparing vehicles for the Secondhand market. Alloa, Cardiff and Halesworth depots have increased the number of vehicles they can service. This has allowed the company to continue to expand the hire fleet and provide excellent customer service across the country. |
| Improvement works have continued across our sites with emphasis on lowering our energy usage with significant investment in solar panels at Ripon and Sowerby. Investment in our IT has also been a priority this year and work has commenced on introducing a new bespoke fleet system and upgrading our ERP system. |
| RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT |
| The technical development team at Econ have been working hard developing our next generation of electric vehicles including the Electric trailer and work is still ongoing to ensure we develop our product range further. Electrification of commercial vehicles are important with the environmental targets set by the government, and we are committed to be able to offer electric winter maintenance vehicles to our customers. Econ continues to research the use of other environmentally friendly vehicle solutions in conjunction with our current electric range. |
| Other significant work has been undertaken to design a new distributor. The design, testing and manufacturing has been completed, and a patent has been granted this year. |
| Continuous development of navigational aids to assist drivers and the routes to be gritted are of upmost importance to our customers and Econ are developing control systems which are driver friendly whilst increasing the performance and accuracy of the gritter bodies. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The management of the business and the execution of the Company's strategy are subject to a number of risks. The key business risks include but not limited to rising costs for materials used in production, availability of components and labour, increase in energy costs, delays and disruption to the company's supply chain, wars and other conflict between Russia and Ukraine. |
| The company reviews its performance on a monthly basis by reviewing sales, human resources, supply chain, health and safety and market share as well as financial performance. |
| The company effectively monitors its risk and has systems in place that seeks to limit the effect on financial performance. The company is ISO 9001-2015 accredited and ensures that quality is maintained, and systems are in place to deal with supply chain and production issues. |
| The company also seeks to protect itself from exposure to regulatory risks in particular areas of product liability and health and safety legislation by closely monitoring technical and regulatory developments. |
| KPI's |
| The company's key performance indicators used by Econ are the hire utilisation rates exceeding the 90% barrier, to maintain a market share of 85% of the winter maintenance market (excluding the Highways England Contract), warranty costs being less than 2% of turnover, production rework being less than 1% of production hours, works orders delivered on time to be more than 80% and monitoring the manufacturing routes to increase efficiencies in the manufacturing process. During the year all KPI's were achieved. Once the new ERP system is integrated more KPI's will be reported. |

| Group Strategic Report |

| STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING |
| This report has been prepared in accordance with the UK Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework and in compliance with The Companies (Directors' Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018. It sets out Econ Engineering Ltd's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, intensity metrics, and carbon reduction actions for the calendar years 2023 and 2024. Data is derived from supplier invoices, meter readings, and fuel purchase records. Emissions are calculated using UK Government GHG Conversion Factors (2023) |
| Greenhouse Gas Emissions (tCO2e) |
| 2023 | 2024 |
| Scope 1 (Gas) | 336 | 420 |
| Scope 2 (Electricity) | 315 | 321 |
| Total | 8,926 | 8,776 |
| Reporting methodology |
| Emissions have been calculated using the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting (2023). Data sources include energy supplier invoices, meter readings, and fuel purchase records. |
| The organizational boundary for reporting is based on the operational control approach, meaning Econ Engineering Ltd reports on all emissions from operations where it has full control over policies and practices. |
| Scopes covered are: |
| - Scope 1: Direct gas combustion. |
| - Scope 2: Purchased electricity. |
| - Scope 3: Transport fuels, heating fuels, and other raw materials. |
| These represent the main contributors to CO? emissions within the company and are the most quantifiable in relation to our processes, ensuring accuracy and consistency in reporting. |
| Electricity figures reported are location-based (grid average) and cover all Econ Engineering production and service sites. The company also has renewable electricity generated from on-site photovoltaic (PV) systems; however, as these systems have not yet been in operation for a full reporting year, they have not been reported separately on a market-based basis. Future reporting years will reflect the full contribution of renewable-backed electricity as these installations become established. |
| This methodology, and the disclosures in this report, comply with the requirements of The Companies (Directors' Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018. |
| Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives |
| - Commissioning of the new spray booth in the service depot with integrated energy-efficient controls. |
| - Deployment of waste minimization programs across facilities, including recycling streams and reduced landfill disposal. |
| - Switch to low-emission company vehicles for non-gritter fleet, cutting fuel consumption and Scope 3 transport emissions. |
| - Implementation of digital systems to reduce paper use and streamline processes. |
| - Greenspace and biodiversity projects around the main sites, contributing to offsetting and resilience. |
| - Behavioral change and workforce training programs on energy efficiency and sustainability. |
| Future Carbon Reduction Initiatives |
| - Major PV (solar) expansion across factory and service depots. |
| - Development and rollout of fully electric gritters and fleet vehicles. |
| - Installation of heat recovery systems on existing plant. |
| - Full LED lighting systems across all sites. |
| - Investment in lower-power plant, machinery, and production tools. |
| - Supplier and procurement strategy to reduce embodied carbon in raw materials. |

| Group Strategic Report |
| for the year ended 31st March 2025 |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Econ Engineering Group Limited (Registered number: 14380655) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the year ended 31st March 2025 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31st March 2025. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| The interim dividends for the period ended 31 March 2025 was £2,650,809. |
| Subsequent to the year end, the Directors approved a dividend of £0.071p a share in relation to financial year 2025. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1st April 2024 to the date of this report. |
| GOING CONCERN |
| The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. In making their assessment, the Directors have considered the financial position of the company and the forecasts and funding available to it over the going concern assessment period to December 2026. The Directors have concluded that there are no indications of material uncertainties that may cast doubt on the company's ability to continue to trade as a going concern and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| 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 or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| Econ Engineering Group Limited (Registered number: 14380655) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the year ended 31st March 2025 |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Smailes Goldie, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Econ Engineering Group Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Econ Engineering Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31st March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31st March 2025 and of the group's profit for the year then ended; |
| - | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
| - | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
| Basis for opinion |
| We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - | the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Econ Engineering Group Limited |
| 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 six, 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Econ Engineering Group Limited |
| 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. |
| 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 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, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation. An understanding of these laws and regulations and the extent of compliance was obtained through discussion with management and inspecting legal and regulatory correspondence. |
| 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 and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
| - performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
| - tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
| - 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, relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors. |
| Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. |
| The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Econ Engineering Group Limited |
| 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. |

| Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
| for the year ended 31st March 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Econ Engineering Group Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. In making their assessment, the Directors have considered the financial position of the company and the forecasts and funding available to it over the going concern assessment period to September 2025. The Directors have concluded that there are no indications of material uncertainties that may cast doubt on the company's ability to continue to trade as a going concern and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents the net invoiced amounts in respect of sale and hire of goods, excluding value added tax. |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill, being the amount measured paid in connection with the acquisition of a Econ Engineering Limited in 2023, has been amortised in full during the period. The fair value adjustment to assets will be amortised over a useful life of 5 years. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
| Freehold property - 2% to 25% on cost |
| Leasehold Property - Over the period of the lease |
| Plant & Machinery - 10% to 50% on cost |
| Motor Vehicles - 25% on cost |
| Impairment |
| Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset , or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Investment property |
| Investment properties were subject to valuation by the directors who are not professionally qualified valuers. Any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. At the year end, the directors are of the opinion that the fair value of the investment property does not differ substantially from the current carrying value. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Stocks |
| Stock and work in progress is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, with due allowance for any obsolete or slow moving items. Cost represents that expenditure which has been incurred in the normal course of business in bringing the product or service to its present location and condition. |
| In the case of consumable stores, cost means purchase price including transport and handling costs, less trade discounts, calculated on a current replacement cost basis. In the case of work in progress and finished goods, cost consists of direct materials, direct labour and attributable production and other overheads based on normal levels of activity. |
| Net realisable value means estimated selling prices less all further costs to completion and all costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. |
| 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. |
| 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 the profit or loss account as incurred. |
| 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. |
| Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year |
| Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses. |
