GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Introduction
 
The Directors present their strategic report and financial statements for year ended 31 August 2025.

Principal Activity
 
The company’s principal activity is the manufacture and sale of its patented material technologies, ancillaries and associated fabricated products namely; Concrete Canvas (CC), CCX and CC Hydro.

The principal material technology developed by the company in 2005 has been recognised by the international standards community as a new class of material known as GCCMs (Geosynthetic Cementitious Materials). GCCMs consist of a dry concrete powder filled fabric which hardens on hydration to form a thin, durable, water-proof concrete layer.

GCCMs can be used for a wide range of applications in erosion control and containment within the civil engineering world.  The company currently sells primarily into 4 core market sectors Civil Infrastructure, Mining, Petrochem and Agriculture.

The majority of the company’s revenue comes from international markets through a network of over 60 exclusive distribution partners operating by geographic region. These partners receive comprehensive training and ongoing support from staff in our regional offices in Italy (Milan), Hungary (Budapest), UAE (Dubai), Australia (Sydney) and the US (California, Colorado, Texas, Virginia). In the UK and Ireland the company sells directly through an in-country team of technical sales representatives and business development managers employed by the company.

Reiew of Business
 
The group delivered a year of exceptional growth reinforcing it position as the global leader in GCCMs. In its 20th year anniversary of activity the group achieved record turnover of £26m, representing growth of over 50% year on year.                            
Growth in turnover was mainly driven by the continued rapid adoption of the CCX product line, now representing over 50% of sales by value, with volumes more than doubling in the year. CCX is engineered for canal and irrigation lining applications enabling projects to be completed faster at lower cost with superior durability compared to traditional methods. Its low permeability design significantly reduces seepage losses helping conserve water in regions facing water scarcity due to climate change. As global demand for resilient water infrastructure grows we expect CCX to be a critical driver of growth for the group.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
Geographic performance was led by Asia, UK, and US, which together represented the strongest regional contributors.
Civil infrastructure remained our core market sector while mining and agriculture markets delivered the fastest growth.              
EBITDA remained strong in the last 12 months and at this level outperforms industry benchmarks for specialist manufacturing companies. Cash reserves increased significantly and provides capacity for future investment.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Strategy
 
The Groups over-arching strategy is to achieve growth in 3 ways:

 •    Expand sales of our existing products and applications by growing market share in existing geographic territories   and by  signing new sales partners in new geographic territories. 

 •  Expand sales of our existing products by developing new applications with lead customers in the UK and once    proven roll  these out through our international sales partner network.

 •  Product development of new technologies based on our core expertise to allow us to access new markets and    applications and retain our technological lead.
Through Concrete Canvas Technology Ltd, the group holds a strong patent portfolio with 125 patents pending or granted across 84 Territories, together with additional pending applications under the EPC and WIPO regional treaty systems. The geographic coverage of the group’s patent protection increased substantially in 2025 due to two new European patents being granted and subsequently validated across a broad range of European Patent Convention member states. These two European patents were also registered as a Unitary Patent, providing enforceable protection across 18 participating EU territories.

Future Outlook

The group is continuing to take the necessary actions to ensure it remains well placed to maintain strong growth and financial performance in the GCCM market. Priorities include expanding presence in North America and Asia with continued investment in R&D and operational improvements.  

There is a significant opportunity for growth in Central Asia through the establishment of our first overseas production facility which will supply material into strategic infrastructure projects. CCX has been identified by a national government as meeting a critical need to upgrade the canal network to improve agricultural productivity as well as supplying into other key sectors such as hydro-power and mining. 


This report was approved by the board on 15 April 2026 and signed on its behalf.

SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting)

Concrete Canvas Group is committed to driving the transition to more sustainable manufacturing with a focus on reducing lifecycle CO2e emissions, waste and pollution. 
The following key changes have been made over the last financial year: 
Specifying a further 83 KWp solar installation (additional 8% capacity).
Increasing manufacturing output while scope 1 &2 emissions remained stable led to a 26% reduction in scope 1 & 2 energy consumption per area of material produced.

Investments in the years before the last financial year include: 
Scope 1: Supporting the transition away from petrol and diesel cars with 70% of company vehicles converting to electric at the end of the financial year.  We have also recently introduced a company salary sacrifice scheme for electric vehicles to further promote this transition.
Scope 2: Installation of a 1.1 MWp solar array covering most of the available roof area of the factory. The solar panels were commissioned in June 2023 and generated 787 MWh (71%) of site consumption in FY 24/25.  As well as supporting the company’s sustainability journey, this investment will also help to protect against energy cost volatility.
Scope 3: Development of a new lower carbon formulation for our CC product line. This was launched in June 2022 as the CC ‘T-series’ and has now fully replaced the conventional CC product across all product variants.  The new formulation reduces the embodied CO2e of the product by an average of 33%.
We also invested in a carbon emission management platform to provide historic data for benchmarking and a means of ongoing measurement and analysis.  We have published Carbon Reduction Plans in line with the requirements of UK Government Public Procurement Note 006, setting out our plans to further reduce emissions.

The intensity ratio of Scope 1 & 2 emissions per m^2 of material has been chosen as scope 1 & 2 are the focus of the mandatory emissions reporting, and material is typically sold on a m^2 basis and has been the functional unit when compared to poured concrete. 
Changes since last report: 

- Scope 1 and 2 subcategories have been reported as one number to condense the report

- Where estimates of energy use were previously missing, they have been estimated using “UK Government
 GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2024” or scaled from the dominant sources in the scope.
 
- As the figure for staff milage is comparatively small, and no significant change is expected, the number of    miles for 23/24 has been used for 24/25 to reduce time spent processing data

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Risks & Uncertainties Identified

The main risks to achieving the business strategy have been assessed by the Directors and can be summarised as follows:

Risk
Potential Impact
Mitigation
Macro Economic outlook
Ongoing global uncertainty including the Russia–Ukraine conflict, conflict in the Middle East and evolving trade policies such as US tariffs could impact raw material costs, energy prices, and overall global growth.

While mindful of these challenges, the Group’s diversified customer base and strong ability to export worldwide provide resilience in demand. The Group maintains robust cash reserves and does not anticipate liquidity issues. If additional funding is required, further debt finance can be secured against property assets, which are 100% owned by the Group.


Intellectual Property risk 
Competitor copies technology infringing business’s Intellectual Property and takes market share.


Use of the extensive patent portfolio and registered Trade Marks to sue infringers and seek damages for loss of income.  The business has 125 patents pending or granted worldwide through 84 Territories. CCT will seek to enforce it’s IPR at a time and in a jurisdiction where it will achieve it’s aim of minimising the economic impact of infringing activity on the groups sales.


Supply chain resilience
The core material technology is reliant on bespoke input material components.  Loss of one of these key suppliers could impact our production capacity and our ability to meet customer lead times.
The business recognises the key role suppliers play in Concrete Canvas’ ability to deliver quality and timely product to our customers. Dual supplier arrangements are in place for all critical components and the business can source alternative supply from existing pre-qualified suppliers for all non-critical components at short notice.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Production Line Breakdown
The core production machinery is bespoke and located exclusively at the Pontyclun facility. A major breakdown could significantly impact our ability to meet order lead times, resulting in delayed deliveries and potential loss of sales.

The group has invested heavily in our internal design and maintenance engineering teams. We maintain a comprehensive preventative maintenance schedule and stock critical spare parts to minimise downtime. In addition, we have implemented process improvement initiatives to enhance reliability and efficiency. A stock buffer is maintained to ensure continuity of supply during short-term interruptions in production capacity.


Personnel
The business could be impacted by loss of key individuals.
The business operates an EMI option scheme targeted at retaining key personnel. We are proactively recruiting staff across most departments on a regular basis. This provides us with the capacity and resource to grow whilst also providing some additional capacity in the case of personnel loss. The business invests in staff teambuilding and engagement events and aims to create a friendly cooperative workplace and culture.

In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the Parent Company's affairs as at 31 August 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 Auditor's 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 or 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 other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon.

As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 3, 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 is 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CONCRETE CANVAS GROUP LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Auditor's 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 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 Group 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:
Our planning procedures identify the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the operations and financial statements of the company. These are reviewed internally with the audit team including relevant industry experience and expectations as well as externally with the client management. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context were the UK Companies Act 2006, UK GAAP (FRS 102) and relevant tax legislation.
Once identified, we assess the risks of material misstatements in relation to the laws and regulations, irregularities, including fraud and adjust our testing accordingly. Our audit procedures include:
 - Discussing with Directors and management which areas of the business they believe to be more susceptible to    fraud, and whether they have any knowledge or suspicion of fraudulent activities.
 - Discussing with Directors and management the legal and regulatory obligations of the business and whether they   have any knowledge or suspicion of non-compliance.
 - Obtaining an understanding of the key controls put in place by the company to address risks identified, assessing   the effectiveness of those and discussing how these are maintained and monitored internally.
 - Assessing the risk of management override and review and testing of journal entries made into the accounting    system.
 - Challenging assumptions and judgements made by the company in relation to the significant accounting estimates   employed in the preparation of the financial statements.
Despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit, and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularities likely involve collusion, forgery, intentional misrepresentation, or the override of internal controls.


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.


Use of our 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 2006Our 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.

General information

Concrete Canvas Group Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office can be found on the General Information page. 

3.Accounting policies

 
3.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 4).

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of comprehensive income in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

  
3.2

Basis for consolidation

In the parent company financial statements, the cost of a business combination is the fair value at the acquisition date of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. The excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill. The cost of the combination includes the estimated amount of contingent consideration that is probable and can be measured reliably, and is adjusted for changes in contingent consideration after the acquisition date. Provisional fair values recognised for business combinations in previous periods are adjusted retrospectively for final fair values determined in the 12 months following the acquisition date. Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are accounted for at cost less impairment.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the value of assets (other than goodwill) and liabilities recognised in a business combination accounted for using the purchase method and the amounts that can be deducted or assessed for tax, considering the manner in which the carrying amount of the asset or liability is expected to be recovered or settled. The deferred tax recognised is adjusted against goodwill or negative goodwill.
The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company Concrete Canvas Group Limited together with all entities controlled by the parent company (its subsidiaries) and the group's share of its interests in joint ventures and associates.
All financial statements are made up to 31 August 2025. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the group.
All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred

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

3.Accounting policies (continued)

 
3.3

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making their assessment the directors have reviewed the balance sheet, the likely future cash flows of the business and have considered facilities that are in place at the date of signing the report. At the year ended 31 August 2025 the group had bank and cash equivalents of £7.7m and net assets of £17.8m.
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements

 
3.4

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into Sterling at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rate ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at opening rate and the results of overseas operations at actual rate are recognised in other comprehensive income.

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

3.Accounting policies (continued)

 
3.5

Revenue

Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised:

Sale of goods

Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the Group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the Group 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 Group will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

 
3.6

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

  
3.7

Research and Development

Research expenditure is written off against profits in the year in which it is incurred. Identifiable development expenditure is capitalised to the extent that the technical, commercial and financial feasibility can be demonstrated.

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

3.Accounting policies (continued)

 
3.8

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits;
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.


  
3.9

Financial Instruments

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.
Stocks held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of the lower of cost and replacement cost, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential.
At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss

 
3.10

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

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.

3.Accounting policies (continued)

 
3.11

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property
-
2-10% on cost
Plant and machinery
-
10%
10% on cost
Motor vehicles
-
10%
10% on cost
Fixtures and fittings
-
10%
10% on cost
Office equipment
-
20%
20% on cost

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.

  
3.12

Impairment of assets

At each reporting period end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The carrying amount of the investments accounted for using the equity method is tested for impairment as a single asset. Any goodwill included in the carrying amount of the investment is not tested separately for impairment.
Recoverable around is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

3.Accounting policies (continued)

 
3.13

Fixed Asset Investments

Equity investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss, except for those equity investments that are not publicly traded and whose fair value cannot otherwise be measured reliably, which are recognised at cost less impairment until a reliable measure of fair value becomes available.
In the parent company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

  
3.14

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.
Stocks held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of the lower of cost and replacement cost, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential.
At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

 
3.15

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
 
Deferred tax liabilities are also presented within provisions but are measured in accordance with the accounting policy on taxation.
 
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

  
3.16

Pension costs and other post-retirmenet benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
Pension costs are charged on a salary and recharge basis.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from the sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
