STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025


The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
J.J. Churchill Ltd is a Tier 1, make-to-print, precision engineering supplier. Founded 86 years ago, we specialise in the production of gas-turbine blades for aerospace and industrial power generation, manufacturing in compliance with current AS9100 and appropriate NADCAP and customer certifications.

Throughout 2024 - 2025, aviation has continued its post-Pandemic growth trajectory, and the aerospace sector has benefited from this. The Company's main activity relates to the long-term business-jet sector, complemented and balanced by the industrial gas-turbine market. However, expected output was severely restricted throughout the year by a fire at a key supplier. This supplier performed a customer-mandated, proprietary coating process for which there was no alternative source. The supplier has since re-instituted the process at a different facility, though this took many months.

The Company has been successful in winning a significant new industrial gas-turbine customer in the USA. This has highlighted further opportunity that the business looks forward to developing in 2025, which together provide increasing strategic balance to our aerospace sector.

For 2025 - 2026 the Dassault Falcon 10X should commence flight certification, which will lead to further growth in the company's core turbine work portfolio on the Rolls-Royce Pearl engines. The success in securing new orders with the USA based IGT customer sees demand for the year growing by more than 100%.

ANALYSIS USING FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Sales during the year at £25.3m (2024 - £16.1m) have grown by £9.2m or 57%. The sales opportunities outlined above give a strong order bank for forthcoming years, with projected average sales growth for the next two years exceeding 30%. A return to profitability is expected to be achieved in 2026/7.
New capital equipment acquired during the current year at £128k is significantly lower than the depreciation and impairment charge of £1.3m. This reflects resurgence in demand on delayed business-jet contracts now seeing the capital equipment previously procured for these projects come into use to meet customer-demand through 2024 and beyond.

Loss after tax in the year at £1.6m (2023 - £4m loss) reflects an improvement of £2.4m year-on-year.

The company's liabilities exceed its assets by £5.1m at the year end. The continuing support of the company's shareholders is fundamental to the company's ability to achieve its planned objectives and hence continue to trade. The shareholders have provided a letter of support to 30 April 2027, and the directors have concluded that funding would be available if required. The company is also reliant on the continued support of its largest customer. Based on the company's forecasts and projections for the next two financial years (FY 25/26 & FY 26/27) the directors are satisfied that the company will be able to trade on a going concern basis, whilst reducing working capital and accounts payable.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025


The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

DIVIDENDS
No dividends were paid during the year (2024 - £Nil).

DIRECTORS
M Cooper has held office during the whole of the period from 1 April 2024 to the date of this report.

Other changes in directors holding office are as follows:

A.J. Churchill resigned as a director on 02 January 2026.

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT
Future developments, which are required under Sch. 7 to be disclosed in the directors' report, are set out in the strategic report instead, in accordance with s.414C(11) CA 2006.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 director is 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 he 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.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





M Cooper - Director


28 April 2026

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
J.J.CHURCHILL LIMITED


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of J.J.Churchill Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 March 2025 and of its loss 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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 Strategic Report and the Report of the Director 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 Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
J.J.CHURCHILL LIMITED


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 Director.

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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of director
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page three, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
J.J.CHURCHILL 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:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
- 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 discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the industry sector;
- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;
- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence;

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
- reviewing correspondence with HMRC and other relevant parties.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
J.J.CHURCHILL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

J.J.Churchill 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" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern
The company has incurred a net loss before tax of £2.2m during the year to 31 March 2025 and, as of that date, the company's liabilities exceed its assets by £5.1m. The company is expected to incur a net loss before tax in the year to 31 March 2026 of approximately £3.3m.

The continuing support of the shareholders of the immediate parent company is fundamental to the company's ability to achieve its planned objectives and hence continue to trade. The shareholders have provided a letter of support to 30 April 2027, and the directors have concluded that funding would be available if required. The company is also reliant on the continued support of its largest customer. Based on the company's forecasts and projections for the next two financial years (FY 26/27 & FY 27/28) the directors are satisfied that the company will be able to trade on a going concern basis, whilst reducing working capital and accounts payable.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of not less than 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":

the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.

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.

Development costs are amortised evenly over their estimated useful life.

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.
Freehold property - 2.5% on cost
Plant and machinery - 33.33% on cost, 20% on cost and 12.5% on cost

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.Provisions are made against slow moving, obsolete and damaged stock for which the net realisable value is estimated to be less than cost. Determining the net realisable value of the wide range of products held in locations requires estimation to be applied to determine the likely saleability of products and the potential prices that can be achieved. In arriving at any provisions for net realisable value, the Directors take into account the age, condition, quality of the products and recent sales trends. The actual realisable value of stock may differ from the estimated value on which the provision is based.

Work in progress is stated at cost, including production overheads where appropriate, less progress payments on uncompleted contracts and provisions for expected losses.

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.

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 or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Material fixed assets purchased via hire purchase contracts are capitalised. The obligations under these finance agreements are shown separately in creditors. Depreciation is charged on the fixed assets in accordance with the policy outlined above. The finance costs of these contracts are written off to the profit and loss account in accordance with the straight line method.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company previously operated 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.

The company previously operated a defined benefit pension scheme for the benefit of two of the directors and certain key employees of the company, alongside a separate defined contributions pension scheme for other employees. The Company's total obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by independent, qualified actuaries and updated at least annually. The size of the obligation is sensitive to actuarial assumptions.The key assumptions are the discount rate, the rate of inflations, life expectancy, pension benefits and rate of salary increases. The pension contributions made by the company under these arrangements are shown in the notes to the financial statements. The disclosures required under FRS102 employee benefits are shown in note 19.
