| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| The comments made by the directors in their last strategic report have been reflected in the group's results for the year ended 31 March 2025.. |
| The group's turnover for the year was 84% higher than that of the previous year being £93,702,260 (2024: £50,838,246). |
| The increase in turnover was driven by increased workload on the civils side of the business, including a motorway contract valued at £22m which the group began and completed during the year. This also had a positive impact on profits during the year. |
| There are no further motorway contracts in the current pipeline. |
| The Asset Management Period 7 (AMP7) in the UK water industry, which ran from 2020 to 2025, concluded on 31March 2025. To meet regulatory requirements, the conclusion of AMP7 led to an increased workload for the group within the year. |
| Net cash at the end of the year, increased from £20.1m to £22.2m despite the demand for working capital to support the increased turnover. |
| Shareholder equity in the company increased to £24,317,802 (2024: £20,553,021). |
| AMP8, the eighth Asset Management Period for the UK water industry, officially began on 1 April 2025. The start of AMP8 has been slow, but this was expected as similar trends have been apparent in previous AMPs. The current lack of motorway contracts and the slow start of AMP8 will lead to a reduction in turnover during this financial year compared to the last financial year. The directors are expecting turnover in the region of £50m during this financial year. The reduction in turnover may impact profitability. |
| The reduction in turnover is expected to be temporary. The well publicised need for investment by water companies in their existing infrastructure and the need to create additional capacity means that their expenditure within these frameworks is expected to be much higher than previous regulatory periods. |
| The business obtained a new framework client during the year. The directors believe this will lead to exciting new opportunities for the business in the coming years. |
| The company currently holds four framework agreements with substantial clients, two in the water industry, one in environmental work and a further in work relating to waterways. |
| All this work relates to the beneficial health of the country and the directors are confident work will continue for many years into the future. |
| The directors thank all the group's employees for their continuing work in helping the group to achieve the successful outcomes now and going forward. |
| With an additional water company added to our existing client portfolio, we consider the Group to be in a very strong position. |

| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The Directors recognise that the group's operations expose it to a number of risks which could impact performance, reputation, and long-term sustainability. These risks are actively monitored and managed through robust governance, control frameworks, and ongoing investment in people, systems, and processes. The principal risks and uncertainties currently affecting Forkers are set out below. |
| ________________________________________ |
| Environmental and Sustainability Risks |
| Description: Increasing expectations from clients, regulators, and other stakeholders to demonstrate strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance may affect the group's operations, competitiveness, and reputation. |
| Mitigation: The group continues to strengthen its ESG strategy and reporting, utilising recognised sustainability platforms such as EcoVadis. Environmental performance and carbon reduction initiatives are embedded across projects, supported by regular monitoring and continuous improvement. |
| ________________________________________ |
| Talent and Workforce Risk |
| Description: The ability to attract, retain, and develop skilled employees is critical to maintaining operational excellence and supporting future growth. A shortage of qualified personnel within the sector could limit delivery capacity and innovation. |
| Mitigation: The group offers competitive remuneration packages, clear career development pathways, and ongoing professional training. Strong emphasis is placed on employee engagement, wellbeing, and maintaining a positive, inclusive culture. |
| ________________________________________ |
| Workload and Market Cycles |
| Description: Fluctuations in workload, particularly during transitions between water authority Asset Management Plan (AMP) cycles, can lead to reduced utilisation and revenue volatility. |
| Mitigation: The group mitigates this exposure by maintaining relationships with a broad range of framework clients across multiple sectors and geographical regions, thereby balancing workload between different investment cycles. |
| ________________________________________ |
| Cybersecurity and Data Privacy |
| Description: The increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats present ongoing risks to data integrity, confidentiality, and business continuity. |
| Mitigation: The group invests in strong IT security infrastructure, regular penetration testing, and continuous system monitoring. Comprehensive staff training and awareness programmes reinforce data protection responsibilities and minimise human error. |
| ________________________________________ |
| Health and Safety Performance |
| Description: The construction and ground engineering environment involves activities with inherent health and safety risks. Failure to maintain high standards could result in injury, delays, or reputational harm. |
| Mitigation: The group places health and safety at the forefront of its culture. Additional SHEQ professionals have been recruited to mentor and train employees, reinforcing a proactive approach to safety management and continual improvement in performance. |
| ________________________________________ |
| Operational Risk |
| Description: Risks arising from internal processes, systems failures, supply chain disruption, or human error could affect contract delivery, quality, or client satisfaction. |
| Mitigation: Continuous improvements are being made to business systems and resilience measures. The group maintains a comprehensive business continuity plan, rigorous quality control processes, and invests in staff training to ensure operational reliability and client confidence. |
| ________________________________________ |
| Summary |
| The Directors are satisfied that appropriate systems are in place to identify, monitor, and manage the principal risks and uncertainties facing the business. These processes ensure that the group remains resilient and well positioned to deliver on its strategic objectives in a controlled and sustainable manner. |

| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| SUSTAINABILITY |
| In the group's commitment to sustainability, H R F Holdings has taken significant strides towards minimizing our environmental impact and reducing our carbon emissions. At the core of our sustainability journey is the employment of a dedicated professional whose expertise enables us to integrate sustainable practices into every area of our operations. We record and monitor various metrics, including carbon emissions, waste generation, and other environmental factors through our supply chain. |
| We have established a Science-Based Target (SBT), an essential step that aligns our carbon reduction goals with the latest climate science. This target not only drives our efforts to reduce carbon emissions but also ensures that our strategies are in line with global climate goals. Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through our partnership with EcoVadis, a leading sustainability ratings platform. By engaging with EcoVadis, we are held accountable to rigorous sustainability standards, guiding our continuous improvement efforts, and ensuring transparency in our practices. |
| One of our notable, ongoing initiatives in renewable energy includes the installation of solar panels on the roof of our yard warehouse. When completed, this will not only reduce our reliance on fossil fuels but also significantly cuts down our carbon footprint, by providing renewable electricity for our head office and plant yard. We have also started to use electric plant equipment, a testament to our dedication to transitioning away from traditional energy sources to sustainable alternatives. This plant equipment not only powers our operations but also sets an example for the industry, demonstrating the feasibility and advantages of embracing clean energy solutions. |
| Our sustainability journey is marked by comprehensive efforts, from rigorous monitoring and setting science-based targets to strategic partnerships, renewable energy investments, and embracing electric technology. These initiatives underscore our dedication to growing sustainability, ensuring that our construction activities not only meet the needs of the present but also preserve the planet for generations to come. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| The group is endeavoring to obtain more work linked with the fight against climate change and has made connections with major companies involved in this field of work. |

| DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT |
| 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: |

| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| H R F Holdings Limited (Registered number: 06816750) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT - continued |
| 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. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Tomkinson Teal (Lichfield) LLP, 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 |
| H R F Holdings Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of H R F Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 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 31 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 |
| H R F Holdings 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 Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on pages seven and eight, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
| In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, through discussion with the directors and other management. We discussed with the directors and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
| We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| H R F Holdings 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.

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. |
| Basis of consolidation |
| The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company HRF Holdings Limited together with all entities controlled by the parent company (its subsidiaries) and the group's share of its interests in joint ventures and associates. |
| All financial statements are made up to 31 March 2024. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the group. |
| All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. |
| Related party exemption |
| The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| In the application of the group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates is revised where the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| Critical judgements |
| The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
| Long term contracts |
| Profit from long term construction contracts is recognised by reference to the stage of completion, when the costs incurred and costs to complete can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is calculated by comparing costs incurred, mainly in relation to contractual hourly staff rates and materials, as a proportion of total costs. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Revenue from contracts with customers |
| The Company earns revenue from the provision of services relating to construction contracts. The Company enters into a number of construction contracts, to complete various projects. Contracts usually commence and complete within one financial period and are generally fixed price. |
| The Company typically recognises revenue within its construction contract businesses over time, as it performs its obligations. Management believe this best reflects the transfer of control to the customer by providing a faithful depiction of primarily the enhancement of a customer controlled asset or the construction of an asset with no alternative use. The method used is determined in accordance with the contract type and are based on either the input or output method depending on the specific contractual arrangements and in accordance with IFRS 15. In the event that the recoverability of the contract income is uncertain or is dependent on the outcome of certain events, relevant contract provisions would be made accordingly. In all of the Company's construction contract arrangements the Company has an enforceable right to payment for work and performance obligations completed to date. |
| Contract costs |
| Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When costs are incurred in securing a contract they are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, they are not included in contract costs if the contract is obtained in a subsequent period. |
| Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in |
| determining the stage of completion. These costs are presented as stocks, prepayments or other assets depending on their nature, and provided it is probable they will be recovered. |
| When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract turnover, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. |

| Computer equipment | - |
| Stocks and work in progress |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. |
| Stocks held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of cost and replacement |
| cost, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential. |
| At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in the profit or loss. |
| Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. |
| 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. |
| Research and development |
| Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. |
| 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. |
