REVIEW OF BUSINESS

Frixos Metal Works Limited operates in the manufacturing sector within the construction industry, specialising in structural steelwork and architectural metalwork for high-rise and infrastructure projects. With a strong order book and long-standing customer relationships, the Company is well-positioned to support ongoing industry demand, driven by regulatory change and increased safety requirements.

The Building Safety Regulations ("BSR") came into full effect in the UK in 2024 as part of the regulatory response following the Grenfell Tower fire. The regulations introduce enhanced safety requirements for higher-risk buildings and have increased the complexity of planning and approval processes within the construction sector. In particular, the Gateway 2 approval stage has extended project lead times and increased the period between initial project commitment and on-site commencement. While this has resulted in earlier visibility of committed orders, it has also introduced greater uncertainty around planning approvals and project start dates which will potentially impact the timing and quantum of orders, margins and profitability levels in the short to medium term.

The Company reported a resilient performance in the year, with revenue increasing to £28.6m (2024: £27.4m), representing growth of 4.5%. The increase reflects sustained activity across structural steelwork and architectural metalwork projects, supported by continued demand within the construction sector.

Gross profit decreased to £9.1m (2024: £9.9m), with gross margin reducing to 31.7% (2024: 36.2%). The movement reflects cost inflation across key inputs, including raw materials and subcontract labour, together with changes in project mix delivered during the year. The Company has continued to apply disciplined pricing and contractual risk management in the selection and execution of new work.

Profit before tax decreased to £5.7m (2024: £6.5m), with the reduction primarily reflecting the movement in gross profit, partially offset by continued focus on overhead control and operational efficiency.

The Company maintained a healthy liquidity position throughout the year. Current assets decreased to £13.4m (2024: £14.2m), while current liabilities reduced to £9.2m (2024: £10.1m), resulting in a current ratio of 1.46x (2024: 1.40x). Working capital remains well managed, supported by disciplined cash collection processes and milestone-based billing arrangements.

Overall, the Company remains financially stable with a solid balance sheet and continued liquidity headroom. The order book provides good visibility over future activity, although conversion remains subject to prevailing market conditions.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Economic and Market Risk

Potential impact on the Company

The Company's performance is closely tied to the broader economic climate in the UK, with market demand fluctuating in line with macroeconomic indicators.

Mitigating factors or controls

- The Company undertakes regular monitoring of the UK economic environment, supported by forecasting tools that analyse key indicators, such as, construction activities and market trends to mitigate economic risk.

- Customer care is a main priority, and the Company maintains strong relationships with their customers.

Health & safety and site operations risk

Potential impact on the Company

Failure to maintain safe working conditions could result in employee injuries or fatalities, leading to regulatory fines, legal claims, operational delays, and reputational damage.

Disruption to key operational sites due to equipment failure, natural events, or supply chain interruptions could adversely affect production, delay project delivery, and increase costs.

Mitigating factors or controls

- Continuously train and update staff on health and safety regulations.

- Improve safety management systems, subcontractor control, incident reporting and corrective actions.

- Conduct regular audits, management review and ensure appropriate insurance cover.

Credit and working capital risk

Potential impact on the Company

The Company operates in a sector where cash conversion is influenced by project certification, valuation processes and customer payment behaviour. Some of the Company's current assets are tied up in receivables and contract balances. As a result, delays in customer approvals/certification, disputed applications, retention timing, or extended payment terms can cause inconsistency in cash flows and reduce liquidity headroom.

Working capital strain can also arise from a structural timing mismatch: the Company typically needs to fund labour, and material procurement in advance of cash receipt, particularly on larger contracts or where raw material purchasing is front-loaded.

Mitigating factors or controls

- Customer selection and credit governance: credit assessment on new customers and periodic reassessment of existing counterparties; credit limits and approval controls for extended terms; proactive monitoring of concentration exposures.

- Robust valuation and certification processes: disciplined monthly application/valuation routines for certified work (including active management of retentions), with appropriate senior review of material contract assets and recoverability.

- Active collections and dispute resolution: routine aged-debtor reviews, early escalation of overdue items, structured dispute resolution and settlement plans where needed, and clear ownership/accountability for debtor recovery.

- Working capital planning and liquidity monitoring: rolling cash-flow forecasting (by project and in aggregate), monitoring of debtor days and contract balance movements, and active oversight of supplier/subcontractor commitments to maintain liquidity resilience.

- Provide timely strategic value-added services to assist and facilitate customers with their BSR approval process.

Input cost inflation and supply chain disruption

Potential impact on the Company

Rising raw material and energy costs may reduce profitability, while Supply chain disruptions could lead to delivery delays and increased margin pressure.

Mitigating factors or controls

- Diversify our supplier base, cultivate strong supplier relationships, implement rigorous evaluation and approval process before onboarding new supplier.

- Forward planning of key materials (including increasing safety stock levels when necessary), optimisation of fabrication schedules and waste reduction.

FUTURE OUTLOOK AND STRATEGIC FOCUS

Despite the economic challenges, Frixos Metal Works Limited is poised for continued growth and innovation. The Company's strategic initiatives are geared towards reinforcing its market position and enhancing operational effectiveness:

Risk Management Strategies

Looking ahead, the Company aims to leverage its technical expertise, project management capabilities, and strong client relationships to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape. Investment in process improvements and enhanced customer collaboration will support timely project delivery and sustainable growth. The Board remains confident in the Company's strategic direction and its ability to capitalise on market opportunities.

Operational Efficiency and Cost Control

During the reporting period, the Company secured a substantial order pipeline, including projects subject to the new BSR planning processes. Despite delays in approval stages, the Company has maintained proactive engagement with clients and stakeholders to manage these challenges effectively. Operational resilience and resource flexibility have enabled the Company to prepare for rapid mobilisation once approvals are granted.

Credit Management

The application for payment at key stages of the build programme reduces the credit risk along with ongoing monitoring that work completed are certified for payment.

Human Capital Investment

Ongoing investment in employee development will underscore the Company's commitment to fostering a culture of excellence and innovation.

Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

The Company is dedicated to embedding sustainable practices into its operations, aligning with environmental standards and focusing on long-term efficiency and cost savings.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the year ending 30 September 2025 are indicative of Frixos Metal Works Limited commitment to sustainable growth and financial stability:

Revenue Growth

Revenue increased to £28,597,250 in 2025 (2024: £27,354,334), demonstrating the Company's ability to maintain sales momentum. This growth reflects strong customer relationships and sustained demand for the Company's products and services.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased to £9,080,269 in 2025 (2024: £9,898,879). The reduction was primarily driven by higher raw material, energy, and production costs. Management continues to focus on cost control measures and operational efficiencies to mitigate margin pressure.

Operating Profit

Operating profit declined to £5,749,871 in 2025 (2024: £6,503,502). This reflects both the impact of reduced gross margins and continued investment in operational capacity, systems, and people to support future growth. Increased overheads were managed carefully to balance short-term profitability with long-term strategic objectives.

Net Profit

Net profit after tax decreased to £4,245,914 in 2025 (2024: £4,754,590). The reduction was attributable to increased operational costs. Despite this decline, the Company maintained a strong profit position.

Overall, the Company maintains a strong financial foundation and a clear strategic direction. The outlook remains positive, with management confident that ongoing efficiency improvements and strategic investments will support sustainable growth.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 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 company'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 company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Xeinadin Audit Limited, will be considered for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

Mr S Savva - Director

21 April 2026

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Frixos Metal Works Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 September 2025 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 30 September 2025 and of its 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 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 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.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the 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 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 Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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 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, 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 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 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 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:

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 recognize 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;

- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the 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 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 the 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;

- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;

- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and

- reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators, and the company's legal advisors.

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.

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 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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Frixos Metal Works 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. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Going concern

After reviewing the Company’s forecasts and projections, which cover the 12-month period from the date of signing the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. These forecasts and projections have considered a downside scenario in sales levels; however, management have also identified mitigating actions that could be taken to ensure that the Company has sufficient funds to meet liabilities as they fall due over the next 12 months. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover is based on the value of goods, services and the value of work supplied and executed during the year. Turnover excludes value added tax.

Turnover is recognised at the point the company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods. Turnover is recognised on delivery of goods, when the amount of turnover can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company.

The company issues Applications for Payment to customers at billing milestones, summarising cumulative work completed to date less prior payments and retentions. Customers raise self-billing invoices/certifications for the amount their surveyor has approved as properly completed, and payment is made within the agreed credit period. Turnover is recorded in the accounting system on receipt of funds.

Where Applications for Payment have been issued by the year-end date but the corresponding customer self-billing invoice/certification and bank receipt have not yet been received, the outstanding amount is recognised as Amounts Recoverable on Contract (AROC) within debtors. AROC represents accrued income for work completed and submitted for payment. The carrying value of AROC is assessed for recoverability based on post year-end customer certifications and receipts. Any Application not considered recoverable is excluded from the AROC balance.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

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.

Short leasehold

- 10% on cost

Plant and machinery

- 10% on reducing balance

Fixtures and fittings

- 10% on reducing balance

Computer equipment

- 25% on reducing balance

The company has a policy not to depreciate in the year of acquisition but to fully depreciate in the year of disposal.

Stocks

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

Costs include all costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition under first-in first-out (FIFO) basis.

Net realisable value is based on the estimated selling price less any estimated completion or selling costs.

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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all material timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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 statement of financial position 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.

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 company operates 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 contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the period as employees provide service. Amounts due but unpaid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments

Recognition and measurement

The Company enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors and loans from banks.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and account receivables and payables, are initially measured at the transaction price (adjusted for transaction cost) and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.

However, if the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, such as a trade debtor or creditor on extended credit terms, initial measurement is at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If such evidence is identified, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. If the financial instrument has a variable interest rate the current effective rate under the contract is used.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is an 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. At present, the Company has not offset any items.

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognised only when:

- the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled; or

- substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred to another party; or

- when despite having retained some, but not substantially all, risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party and the other party has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without needing to impose additional restrictions on the transfer. In this case, the Company derecognises the asset and recognises separately any rights and obligations retained or created in the transfer.

A financial liability is derecognised when the contract that gives rise to it is settled, sold, cancelled, or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such as an exchange or modification, this is treated as a derecognition of the original liability, such that the difference in the respective carrying amounts together with any costs or fees incurred are recognised in profit or loss.

Called up share capital and reserves

Called-up share capital represents the nominal value of ordinary shares that have been issued. The share premium account includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with issuing shares are deducted from share premium.

The retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits and losses.

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at a general meeting. These amounts are recognised in the statement of changes in equity.

New or revised standards or interpretations

Amendments to FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and other FRSs Periodic Review 2024

On 27 March 2024, the FRC issued Amendments to FRS 102. The effective date for most amendments is accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, with earlier adoption permitted. The Amendments include new disclosures for supplier finance arrangements that are mandatorily effective from 1 January 2025.

The most significant amendments are the replacement of Section 23, now renamed Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and Section 20 Leases. The many other less significant changes, including a new Section 2A Fair Value Measurement, are not currently expected to have a material impact. The new revenue and leasing requirements seek to provide greater consistency and alignment to the international accounting standards, i.e. IFRS 15 and IFRS 16.

The Company is planning for the implementation of these change and is at an early stage in evaluating their financial impact. At 30 September 2025 the Company had commitments under operating leases of approximately £611,718 (2024: £1,019,644). Under the new lease accounting requirements management expects that these amounts would be recognised on-balance sheet, with a lease liability based on the discounted value of the future commitments, plus payments related to optional extension periods if considered reasonably certain, and a related ‘right-of-use’ asset. Management is reviewing existing revenue contracts to determine the overall recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure impact.

3.	CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the statement of financial position date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the period. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements:

- Determine whether leases entered into by the Company either as a lessor or a lessee are operating or finance leases. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee on a lease by lease basis.

- Determining when the significant risks and rewards have transferred to the customer and a sale is recognised. This has been determined to be upon delivery of goods and/or services to the buyer rather than on invoicing date.

- Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit.

Other key sources of estimation uncertainty

Tangible fixed assets, other than investment properties, are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.
