Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 31 October 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Airborne Environmental Consultants Ltd 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.

| 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.

| Domain names are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of five years.

| Tangible fixed assets

| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

| Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

| Freehold property |  | - 2% on cost |  |

| Short leasehold |  | - 15% on cost |  |

| Long leasehold |  | - 2% on cost |  |

| Plant & machinery |  | - 10% on cost, 33% on reducing balance and over the term of the contract |  |

| Fixtures & fittings |  | - 15% on cost |  |

| Motor vehicles |  | - 25% on reducing balance |  |

| Computer equipment |  | - 33% on cost |  |

| Investment property

| Investment properties are initially measured at cost plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Subsequent measurement is with reference to fair value with any increases credited to the Profit and Loss and transferred to a non-distributable reserve. Any diminution in fair value, below that of amounts already credited to this reserve, are charged to the Profit and Loss. Any increases in property values which were previously charged to the Profit and Loss are credited from the Profit and Loss to the extent that the original charge is reversed.

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss, 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.

| Airborne Environmental Consultants Ltd (Registered number: 03442515) |

for the year ended 31 October 2025

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.

| Foreign currencies

| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

| 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 and 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 and 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 and Loss in the period to which they relate.

| Share capital

| Ordinary A, B, C & D shares are classed as equity.

| Short term debtors and creditors

| Short term debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Profit and Loss account.

| Distributions to equity holders

| Dividends are recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the company's shareholders. These amounts are recognised in the statement of changes in equity.

| Cash and cash equivalents

| Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, cash held with banks and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

| Loans and borrowings

| Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment.

3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

| The average number of employees during the year was 129 (2024 - 124 ) .
