STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The directors present their report and the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 September 2025.
The company carries on business as stevedores, wharfingers and warehousemen, freight contractors, ship operators and general shipping and forwarding agents.
In 2024/25, we completed a programme of heavy investment at Northfleet. The directors believe that these investments leave the Company well placed to exploit the unique potential of the site and will support the Company’s successful operations into the future. The directors are satisfied with the performance of the business and, despite the challenging economic climate, look forward with some confidence. The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis.
The key business risks affecting the company relate to:
• the strength of the UK economy • Health & Safety of cargo handling operations
Given the straight forward nature of the business the company's directors are of the opinion that analysis using the KPI's is not necessary for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the business.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments 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 to 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.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £12,327 (2024 - loss £371,814).
Dividends of £500,000 (2024: £Nil) were paid during the year.
The directors who served during the year were:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SEACON TERMINALS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Seacon Terminals Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 September 2025, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the Statement of changes in equity 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SEACON TERMINALS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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. 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 course of 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Directors' report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SEACON TERMINALS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussion with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant sector; The specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, are as follows: o Companies Act 2006 o FRS102 o GDPR o Employment legislation o Tax legislation o Health and safety legislation o Port of London Authority regulation o UK and EU customs regulations for imports and exports We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management, reviewing board minutes and inspecting legal correspondence; Laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and during the audit as any further laws and regulation were identified. The audit team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by: • Making enquires of management as to where they consider there was susceptibility to fraud and their knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud; • Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; • Reviewing the financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation; • Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies; • Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions; • Assessing whether judgement and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates, in particular those disclosed in note 3, were indicative of management bias; and • Investigating the rationale behind significant transactions, or transactions that are unusual or outside the company’s usual course of business.

SEACON TERMINALS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SEACON TERMINALS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The areas that we identified as being susceptible to misstatement through fraud were: • Management bias in the estimates and judgements made; • Management override of controls; and • Posting of unusual journals or transactions. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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 Auditor's 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 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
The company also operates a defined benefit plan, which was closed for accrual of future benefits in 2000, and is now a legacy scheme which during the year was moved to a Buy Out. A defined benefit plan defines the pension benefit that the employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent upon several factors including age, length of service and remuneration. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of the defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of the plan assets at the reporting date. If the defined benefit plan is in surplus an asset is only recognised if this is deemed recoverable. The defined benefit obligation is calculated using the projected unit credit method. Annually the company engages independent actuaries to calculate the obligation. The present value is determined by discounting the estimated future payments using market yields on high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in sterling and that have terms approximating the estimated period of the future payments (‘discount rate’). The fair value of plan assets is measured in accordance with the FRS 102 fair value hierarchy and in accordance with the company’s policy for similarly held assets. This includes the use of appropriate valuation techniques. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. These amounts together with the return on plan assets, less amounts included in net interest, are disclosed in other comprehensive income. The cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in profit or loss as employee costs, except where included in the cost of an asset, comprises: (a) the increase in pension benefit liability arising from employee service during the period; and (b) the cost of plan introductions, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is recognised in profit or loss as ‘finance expense / income’.
The company also contributes to group personal pension policies, such contributions being charged against profits when paid
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using both straight line and reducing balance methods on the following bases:.
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
The company has not provided for depreciation on freehold property and has therefore not complied with the Companies Act 2006 requirements. It is the company's policy to maintain its properties in a sound state of repair and, accordingly, the directors consider that the economic lives of the properties are so long and the residual value at such a level that depreciation would be inappropriate.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. Revaluation gains previously recognised are shown within the revaluation reserve on the balance sheet. An amount equal to the excess of the annual depreciation charge on revalued assets over the notional historic cost depreciation charge on these assets is transferred annually from the revaluation reserve to the profit and loss reserve. Assets under construction are not depreciated until they are bought into use.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's Balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Basic financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
There were no significant judgments exercised by management in the preparation of the financial statements. b) Key accounting estimates and assumptions: The company makes key assumptions regarding the value of the Freehold Property; further details are provided in note 2.14 of the accounting policies. During the prior year a part disposal of the Freehold Property was undertaken and estimates have been made on the directors' best knowledge about the value of the remaining element and the associated cost. This has been informed by previous valuations undertaken by qualified surveyors adjusted for current market data. The company also makes key assumptions and estimates, with the assistance of independent actuaries, in respect of the defined benefit pension scheme liability as further described in note 2.10 of accounting policies.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to the principal activities of the company.

Revaluation (Deemed Cost) The company has opted to take the exemption from FRS102 paragraph 35.10(d), that allows first-time adopters of FRS102 to elect to use the previous revaluations performed at or before transition as deemed cost. Both the freehold and leasehold property were revalued on 3 June 2015 at open market value on the basis of existing use by Lambert Smith Hampton. The company is using these valuations as deemed cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The company operates a defined benefit pension scheme.
The scheme was closed for accrual of future benefits in 2000, and is now a legacy scheme. Pension benefits are linked to members' final pensionable salaries and services at their retirement (or date of leaving, if earlier). The Trustees are responsible for running the Scheme in accordance with the Scheme's Trust Deed and Rules, which sets out their powers. The Trustees of the Scheme are required to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries of the Scheme.
There are currently two categories of pension scheme members: - Deferred members: members who have left the Scheme with deferred benefits, and - Pensioner members: in receipt of pension. Future funding obligations The Trustees are required to carry out an actuarial valuation every 3 years. The last actuarial valuation of the Scheme was performed by the Scheme Actuary for the Trustees as at 30 September 2020. This valuation revealed a funding surplus of £91,000. Therefore the company does not expect to pay any contributions during the accounting year beginning 1 October 2023. During the year, on 15 May 2025, the scheme met the pre conditions to move to a Buy Out. As such, individual policies have now been issued to the members. As such, the scheme does not meet the definition of a Defined Benefit Scheme as of 30 September 2025 and the plan's assets and liabilities have now been settled.
