| Strategic Report |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The directors are satisfied with the sales performance in the year to 31 December 2024, and the achievement of a gross profit margin of 27.14% (2023: 24.6%) in a very competitive market. |
| Operating costs have increased during the year and this, together with the increased gross margin results in a profit before tax of £119,504 (2023: profit before tax £144,410). |
| There has been no additional funding requirement during the year as the company had maintained adequate reserves to support the business. |
| The directors recognise retained earnings have fallen this is primarily related to the purchase of a group company and the planned repayment of loan notes. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The directors constantly monitor the risks and uncertainties facing the company with particular reference to the exposure on liquidity and credit risks. They are confident that there are suitable policies in place and there are no material risks and uncertainties which have not been considered. |
| The company uses various financial instruments which include cash and various items, such as trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the company's operations. The existence of these financial instruments exposes the company to a number of financial risks, including liquidity and credit risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks and are confident that there are suitable policies in place and there are no material risks which have not been considered. These policies have remained unchanged from previous years. |
| LIQUIDITY RISK |
| The company seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. The company's policy throughout the year has been to achieve this objective through the day to day involvement of management in business decisions rather than through setting maximum or minimum liquidity ratios. |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The directors use a number of measures, both financial and non-financial to monitor and benchmark the performance of the company. They regard the following as the key financial indicators of performance: |
| - Operating profit - measuring the profits generated by the company's operations. |
| - Net cash flow from operating activities - measuring the performance in translating operating profit into cash flow through management of working capital and the monitoring of debtor days and stock levels. |
| The key non-financial indicators are associated with the company's ability to maintain its existing customer and supplier base. |

| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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; |
| - | 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| 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 company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| THERMOSERV LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01337045) |
| Report of the Directors |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Owadally & King, 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 |
| Thermoserv Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Thermoserv Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the 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 company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its 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 company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Emphasis of matter |
| We draw attention to Note 2 (Going Concern) in the financial statements, which describes certain events and conditions arising after the year end that have affected the Company’s financial position. As explained in that note, these matters have been considered by the directors in their assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Thermoserv Limited |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| - | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
| In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Thermoserv 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. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| We designed our audit by determining materiality and assessing risks of material misstatement, including fraud, through inquiries with management about their consideration of fraud. We focused on subjective judgments in significant accounting estimates involving assumptions about uncertain future events. We also assessed potential pressures, opportunities, and motivations for fraud, identifying internal controls to mitigate related risks and reviewing management's monitoring processes. Our procedures included reviewing and testing manual journals and key estimates and judgments. |
| We examined the legal and regulatory framework relevant to the company and industry, considering risks of noncompliance, including fraud, with laws like FRS 102, the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, and UK tax legislation. We inquired about compliance and corroborated evidence by reviewing legal correspondence and obtaining legal letters on significant matters. |
| Our tests involved matching financial statement disclosures to supporting documents and management inquiries. We found no key audit matters related to irregularities or fraud. As in all audits, we addressed the risk of management override of controls by testing journals and evaluating potential biases that could lead to material misstatements due to fraud. |
| Our procedures acknowledged the higher risk of undetected material misstatement due to fraud compared to error, due to deliberate concealment through forgery, misrepresentation, or collusion. Despite inherent limitations in audit procedures, we aimed to identify material misstatements, recognizing that detection of non-compliance is less likely if it is not reflected in financial transactions. |
| 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. |
| Other matters |
| The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 13 June 2024. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Thermoserv 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. |

| 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. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents the amounts receivable for heating installations and maintenance services net of VAT and trade discounts. |
| Revenue is recognised as and when the company satisfies a performance obligation and the significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the customer. Where a contract has only been partially completed at the balance sheet date, turnover represents the fair value of the service provided to date based on the stage of completion of contract activity at the balance sheet date. Where payments are received from customers in advance of services provided, the amounts are recorded as deferred income and included as part of the debtors due within one year. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Freehold property: None |
| Plant and machinery: 15% Straight line |
| Office equipment: 10% - 50% Straight line |
| Motor vehicles: 33% Straight line |
| No depreciation is provided in respect of freehold property as the company maintains the assets. |
| The company adopts the revaluation model for its freehold property as permitted under FRS 102. Other plant and machinery is carried under the cost model. |
| Stocks |
| Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. |
| Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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. |

| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| 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. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Going concern |
| Following the year end, the Company recognised a provision relating to an ongoing contractual matter. Management expects a financial recovery in respect of this matter, and discussions are continuing. |
| Post-year-end cash flows were impacted by drawings on the director's loan account and short-term financial support advanced to a related party. Management anticipates both items will be resolved in the short term. In addition, the Company disposed of a freehold property after the year end as part of an operational consolidation exercise, which has strengthened the Company's liquidity position. |
| While these events represent matters to monitor, the directors have assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on this basis. |
