Strategic Report
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Review of the Business
Binn Group Holdings Limited is the parent company and is a holding company. The company also holds an interest in Paprec Energies Binn Limited, the entity that is constructing an Energy from Waste ('EfW') facility at Binn Ecopark, Glenfarg which commenced in October 2023. The EfW facility will process up to 95,000 tonnes per annum of residual waste destined for landfill, generating around 8.6MW of electricity for use both on-site or via the national grid as well as heat outputs as hot water or steam for use with the Ecopark or further afield. Currently the construction of the new facility is behind schedule, and it is anticipated that the new facility will be ready for commissioning in 2028.
Binn Group Limited is the main trading company within the group. The company's core activities include the provision of waste management services, recycling and recovery of materials and scrap metal trading.  The company has continued to grow organically within a highly competitive industry despite the uncertain economic climate within the UK. Residual municipal waste from Binn Group Limited continues to be diverted to energy from waste facilities as we remain fully committed to diverting waste from landfill. The company invested in new state-of-the-art processing and recycling equipment at Binn Farm, Glenfarg which became fully operational in September 2024.
Binn Farm Limited continues to generate a good return in respect of the land it owns. These profits will assist with Binn Group's ongoing commitment to seek innovative ways that make good business sense whilst reducing the environmental impact and increasing regional and national self-sufficiency in the waste management, renewable energy and food industries.
In the period under review the group's profit before tax was £4,266,783 (2024: £2,250,946), with this year's results boosted by £1,772,575 as a result of a revaluation and impairment review which was completed in August 2025. But for this revaluation and impairment review the group's profit before tax figure would have been £2,494,208, an increase of 10.81% on the previous year. The Board are pleased with the results achieved.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
Risk acceptance and risk management is addressed through a framework of policies, procedures and internal controls which are consistently applied throughout Binn Group. All policies are subject to Board approval and ongoing review by management.  Compliance with all regulation and legal requirements is a high priority for the group.
The group has developed a framework for identifying the risks that the business is exposed to and their impact on economic capital. The process is risk based and uses individual Capital Assessment principles to manage our capital requirements and to ensure we have the financial strength and capital adequacy to support the growth of the business and to meet the requirements of our clients, customers and regulators.
The principal risks from our principal activities arise from:
- Our market: potential adverse impact on financial performance of a detrimental change to the competitive and/or economic environment;
- Operating in a regulated environment: the implication of levies or other financial penalties of a breach of regulation; and
- Our people: the detrimental effect of a loss in key personnel.
In addition the group is exposed to financial risks arising primarily from the investments that it holds. These risks are discussed in the section of the directors' report dealing with financial instruments and risk management. Our business strategies are approved by the Board and communicated clearly throughout the business through policy statements and guidelines.
Future Developments
The group completed its acquisition of the business and assets of R Finnie Skip Hire in Inverness on 1 April 2025.  We are excited to expand our business in the Highlands and look forward to growing our presence in the region in the years ahead.
The group is continuing to explore business acquisition opportunities that align with our overall strategy to further enhance growth and profitability.

Financial Instruments
Treasury operations and financial instruments
The group's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include the effects of changes in debt market prices, credit risk, liquidity risk and inherent rate risk. The group has in place a risk management programme that seeks to limit the adverse effects on the financial performance of the group by monitoring levels of debt finance and the related finance costs. The group does not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate costs and a such, no hedge accounting is applied.
Given the size of the group, the directors have not delegated responsibility of managing financial risk management to a sub-committee of the Board. The policies set by the board of directors are implemented by the group's finance department.
Liquidity risk
The group actively maintains a mixture of long-term and short-term debt finance that is designed to ensure that the group has sufficient funds available for operations and planned expansions.
Interest rate risks
The group has both interest bearing assets and interest bearing liabilities. Interest bearing assets include cash balances which earns interest at a fixed rate.  The group has a policy of maintaining debt at fixed rate to ensure certainty of future interest and cash flows. The directors will revisit the appropriateness of this policy should the group's operations change in size or nature.
Price risk
The group is exposed to commodity price risk as a result of its operations. However, given the size of the group's operations, the costs of managing exposure to commodity price risk exceed any potential benefits. The directors shall revisit the appropriateness of this policy should the company's operations change in size or nature. The group has no exposure to equity securities price risk as it holds no list or other equity investments.
Credit risk
The group has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made.  Where debt finance is utilised, this is subject to pre-approval by the board of directors and such approval is limited to financial institutions with an AA rating or better. The amount of exposure to any individual counterparty is subject to a limit, which is reassessed annually by the board.
Business risk
Business risk is contained because the group's business is well diversified across retail, new build, trade and commercial sectors. The group has much greater business diversity than any of its major competitors. However we are aware that unforeseen events could arise that might affect the individual market sectors in which we operate, but our overall assessment is that such events are unlikely in the short and medium term.
Directors
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Mr A MacGregor
Mr D D Sanderson
Mr B Harkins
Mr I J Morrison Appointed 11/02/2025
Mr J M MacGregor
Mr G G MacGregor Appointed 01/04/2025
Post Balance Sheet Events
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements.
Purchase of Own Shares
One of the shareholders wished to sell a proportion of their shareholding, however in order to preserve the family ownership the company agreed to buy these shares back.  As a result, the company purchased 480,000 A Ordinary £1 shares, representing 100% of the A Ordinary share capital allotted, issued and fully paid at the time of purchase, for the consideration of £636,000.
Matters covered in the Strategic Report
The group has chosen to set out in the review of the business information required to be stated in relation to the director's report, specifically, likely future developments of the business.
Page 5
Page 6
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report 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, comprising FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', 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 the financial statements the directors are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
  • state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS102, 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 and 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.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement of Disclosure of Information to Auditors
In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors' Report is approved:
  • so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and
  • they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.
Independent Auditors
The auditors, Nuvo Audit Limited, have indicated their willingness to continue in office and a resolution concerning their re-appointment will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.
On behalf of the board

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Binn Group Holdings Limited (the "parent company") and its subsidiaries (the "group") for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes of Equity, Company Statement of Changes of Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Company Cash Flow Statement and the related notes, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
In our opinion the financial statements:
  • give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the group's profit/(loss) for the year then ended;
  • have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
  • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions Relating to Going Concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on Other Matters Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
  • the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 7
Page 8
Matters on Which We Are Required to Report by Exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' 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 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 or 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 page 4—6, 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 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, the directors are responsible for assessing the group and 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.

Auditor's 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 an auditor's report 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: 
All engagement team members were briefed on relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks at the planning stage of the audit. Engagement team members were reminded to remain alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The most relevant frameworks identified include:
- UK GAAP
- Companies Act 2006
- Corporation Tax legislation
- VAT legislation
We gained an understanding of how the company is complying with these laws and regulations by:
- enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity's solicitors around actual and potential litigation and claims;
- enquiry of entity staff in tax and compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
- reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by discussions with management and those charged with governance to understand where it was considered there was susceptibility to fraud. This evaluation also considered how management and those charged with governance were remunerated and whether this provided an incentive for fraudulent activity. We considered the overall control environment and how management oversee the implementation and operation of controls. In areas of the financial statements where the risks were considered to be higher, we performed procedures to address each identified risk.  The following procedures were performed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free of material fraud or error:
- reviewing the level of and reasoning behind the company's procurement of legal and professional services;
- performing audit procedures over the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing judgements made by the management in their calculation of accounting estimates for potential management bias.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material risk due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error as fraud may involve intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
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 that 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Binn Group Holdings Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in Scotland, registered number SC482469 . The registered office is 5 Atholl Crescent, Edinburgh, EH3 8EJ.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'' and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Significant judgements and estimations
In the application of the company'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.
2.3. Turnover
Revenue represents amounts received and receivable, net of VAT and trade discounts, for goods and services in the ordinary course of business. Revenue from supplying services is recognised when those services are completed and invoiced. Revenue from the sale of recycling materials is recognised when the materials have been despatched and invoiced.
2.4. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Goodwill
Goodwill is the difference between amounts paid on the acquisition of a business and the fair value of the separable net assets. Goodwill is amortised over its expected useful life which is estimated to be 10 years. 
2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold 2% on cost and land not depreciated
Leasehold 2% on cost, 5% on cost and 10% on cost
Plant & Machinery 10% on cost, 16% SLM and 20% on cost
Motor Vehicles 16% SLM, 20% on cost, 25% on cost and 33% on cost
Fixtures & Fittings 20% on cost
Land, included within long leasehold, is considered to have an infinite useful life and is therefore not depreciated.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within administrative expenses in the profit and loss account.
Freehold property reclassified from investment property on consolidation is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the income statement.
Page 21
Page 22
2.6. Investment Properties
Investment property is included at fair value. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the income statement. Deferred taxation is provided on these adjustments at the rate expected to apply when the property is sold.
No depreciation is provided for in respect of investment properties in accordance with FRS 102. Such properties are held for their investment potential and not for consumption within the business. This is a departure from the Companies Act 2006 which requires all properties to be depreciated and the directors consider that to depreciate them would not enable the financial statements to give a true and fair view. Investments properties are stated at their fair value at the balance sheet date.
2.7. Investments
Fixed asset investments that are not listed on a recognised stock exchange are carried at historical cost less any provision for impairment in their value.
2.8. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the group. Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.
2.9. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.
2.10. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
2.11. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss for the year, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case current and deferred tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Page 22
Page 23
2.12. Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account in the year they are payable. The company also makes contributions to personal pension funds for certain employees who are not in the company's defined contribution scheme.
2.13. Government Grant
Grants are credited to deferred revenue. Based on the accruals model, grants towards capital expenditure are released to the profit and loss account over the expected useful life of the assets. Grants towards revenue expenditure are released to the profit and loss account as the related expenditure is incurred.
A government grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs, is recognised in profit or loss of the period in which it becomes receivable.
2.14. Joint Ventures
Interests are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the company's share of profits or losses after the acquisition date. Distributions received reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
