GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

for the year ended 30 June 2025

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 June 2025.

Our objectives are to provide a reliable, competitive and quality plumbing and electrical service to the construction industry. We have become one of the largest suppliers of this service in the East Midlands due to specialist knowledge and expertise built up over 50 years. We continually aim to improve and develop our skills, services and compliance to satisfy our customer's needs.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The directors are pleased with the overall performance of the business for the year, seeing a substantial increase in turnover whilst maintain the group's gross profit margin.

The focus to improve the current position has proved particularly relevant given the situation with supply chain issues. The group has managed funds and resources prudently throughout and has taken advantage of opportunities as they have arisen.

The group has seen a significant increase in net assets, and thus shareholders' funds which the directors' are confident that can be maintained and improved upon in coming years.

The directors are confident that trading levels will be maintained at a similar level with the same importance placed on continuing to ensure profitability is kept at a high level. The group is continuing to identify and tender for opportunities in the sector.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The directors have assessed the risks facing the group and we recognize, in particular, the threat from competition, labour shortages, material inflation and the wider political and economic conditions. The board are focused on mitigating these risks and is continually monitoring and adjusting to maintain and strengthen its position.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

for the year ended 30 June 2025

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;

- | 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 ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Hewitt Card Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

A J Burnett - Director

19 December 2025

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

FDBC HOLDINGS LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of FDBC Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of 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 30 June 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

FDBC 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, 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 have adopted a risk based approach based upon analytical procedures and knowledge of the clients systems and environment it operates in.

This enables us to design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks; and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for the audit opinion.

To obtain an understanding of internal control where relevant to the audit to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control. To evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

To conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The likelihood of detecting irregularities is inherently difficult and we have designed our tests and procedures to reduce this risk.

- We have enquired of management and the company's solicitors around actual and potential litigation and claims.

- Review of company minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

- Reviewing financial statements disclosure and testing supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

- Review and testing of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and evaluating the business rationale of significant 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 30 June 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| FDBC Holdings 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 General Information page.

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

2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

| 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" and the Companies Act 2006.

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

| Turnover

| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services.

| Sale of goods

| Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when;

| - the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer

| - the company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold

| - the amount of turnover can be measured reliably

| - it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company

| - the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably

| Rendering of services

| Turnover from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period by reference to the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied;

| - the amount of turnover can be measured reliably

| - it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the services will flow to the company

| - the stage of completion of the contract at the reporting date can be measured reliably

| - the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably

| Goodwill

| Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2020, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten 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

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

| Plant and machinery | - | 25% on reducing balance, 20% on cost and Straight line over 3 years

| Fixtures and fittings | - | 25% on reducing balance

| Motor vehicles | - | 25% on reducing balance

| Computer equipment | - | 25% on reducing balance and Straight line over 3 years

| Stocks

| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

for the year ended 30 June 2025

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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 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.

| The group participates in a defined benefit multi employer scheme. Contributions payable to the pension scheme are charged to the profit and loss in the period to which they relate. The assets of the scheme are held separately from the group in independently administered funds.

21. | PENSION COMMITMENTS

| The group participates in a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the group in independently administered funds. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the company to the funds and amounted to £177,399 for the year (2024: £110,555).

| The group participates in a defined benefit scheme, The Plumbing and Mechanical Services (UK) Industry Pension Scheme, which is a multi-employer scheme. As the group is unable to identify its share of scheme assets and liabilities, as permitted by FRS102, the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the company to the fund and amounted to £nil for the year. As a participating employer, the group shares a collective responsibility with all other participating employers of the scheme for the funding of the overall scheme and any ultimate funding shortfall. The scheme closed to new accrual on 30th June 2019 therefore limiting further exposure to any potential future losses. The results from the latest formal actuarial valuation as at 5 April 2023, showed that the scheme had 99% of the assets to meet its "Technical Provisions" (liabilities). No additional funding has been required or provided for in these accounts.

22. | CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

| The group bank facilities are secured by a mortgage debenture covering all the assets of the group together with an unlimited cross company guarantee with all group companies; SPHE Limited, Neil Shacklock Plumbing and Heating Contractors Limited, SPHE Holdings Limited and FDBC Holdings Limited.
