Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 April 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Hollingsworth Bros. (UK) Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

| Turnover

| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

| Turnover, derived from the principle activity, is calculated on the basis of the value of the work executed during the period, excluding retentions.

| Tangible fixed assets

| Plant and machinery 15% reducing balance

| Fixtures and fittings 15% reducing balance

| Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance

| JCB and dumpers 25% reducing balance

| 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.

| 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 profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

| 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.

| Hollingsworth Bros. (UK) Limited (Registered number: 04170372) |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Retentions

| Retention recognition policy follows that of BIM51520, whereby the recognition of retentions is deferred until their receipt becomes virtually certain.

| Debtors

| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

| Creditors

| Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost.

| Provisions for liabilities

| Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

| Employee benefits

| Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

| Long-term contracts

| Profit on long-term contracts is recognised as the work is carried out if the final outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty. The profit included is calculated on a prudent basis to reflect the proportion of the work carried out at the year end, by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses.

| Contract costs are recognised as the higher of actual cost to date or costs as a proportion of final costs, using the reference of turnover to date as a proportion of final turnover.

| Revenues derived from variations on contracts are recognised only when they have been accepted by the customer.

| Full provision is made for losses on all contracts in the year in which they are first foreseen.
