| Director |
| Statement of director's responsibilities |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Group 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group 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 group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| Auditors |
| The auditors, Luckmans Duckett Parker Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| On behalf of the board: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Butler Corporation Limited |
| Qualified Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Butler Corporation Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the period ended 31 July 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, 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 except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report the financial statements: |
| - give a true and fair view of the state of the group's affairs as at 31 July 2024 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 qualified 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 group 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. 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 group 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. |
| This is the first time the group required an audit and no stock-take was conducted at 30th April 2022, 30th April 2023 or 31st July 2024. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at these dates which were included in the balance sheet by using other audit procedures. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary. |
| 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 qualified 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 and 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Butler Corporation Limited |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group 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. |
| As described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, this is the first time the group required an audit and no stock-take was conducted at 30th April 2022, 30th April 2023 or 31st July 2024. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at these dates which were included in the balance sheet by using other audit procedures. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary and the other information may be materially misstated for the same reason. |
| The comparative information had not been audited. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| This is the first time the group required an audit and no stock-take was conducted at 30th April 2022, 30th April 2023 or 31st July 2024. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at these dates which were included in the balance sheet by using other audit procedures. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary. In addition, were any adjustment to the inventory balance to be required, the strategic report would also need to be amended. |
| Except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, in our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - the information given in the Group 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 Group 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 |
| Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
| Arising solely from the limitation on the scope of our work relating to inventory and goodwill on consolidation, referred to above: |
| - we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the |
| purpose of our audit; and |
| - we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept. |
| 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: |
| - 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 |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Butler Corporation Limited |
| Responsibilities of director |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page six, 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 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. |
| 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: |
| In identifying and assessing the risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
| - reference to past history and experience of the Entity, |
| - enquiry of management, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation concerning |
| the Entity's procedures relating to: |
| - identifying and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances |
| of non-compliance; |
| - detection and response to risk of fraud and whether they were aware of any actual or suspected |
| instances of fraud. |
| - assessment of the controls and processes that the Entity has in place to mitigate risk. |
| Our assessments included the identification of the following potential areas for fraud: |
| - Management override of control; |
| - Revenue recognition |
| We design audit procedures by tailored and directed testing to aid and support the level of determined level of risk. In response to the assessed risk we plan audit tests and procedures that target specific areas where misstatement may occur. These procedures and the extent to which they are capable of detecting |
| irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below: |
| - We critically assessed the appropriateness and tested the application of the revenue and cost |
| recognition policies |
| - We tested the appropriateness of accounting journals and other adjustments made in the |
| preparation of the financial statements |
| - We reviewed the Entity's accounting policies for non-compliance with relevant standards. |
| - We made enquiries of management and reviewed correspondence with the relevant authorities to |
| identify any irregularities or instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations |
| In performing an audit in accordance with UK GAAP, we exercise professional judgement and maintain |
| professional scepticism throughout the audit process. |
| The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from |
| error, as fraud may involve collusion or override of internal controls. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed. |
| 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 |
| Butler Corporation Limited |
| 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. |

| Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |

| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Butler Corporation Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Related party exemption |
| The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
| Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements. |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents the value of goods sold during the period net of VAT. Turnover is recognised when goods are physically delivered to the customer. |
| Uninvoiced deliveries at the year end are included in accrued income. Invoiced deliveries are included in debtors. Where customers pay in advance for goods, the amount is recorded as deferred income until the goods have been delivered. |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill arising from the purchase of shares in 2018 of Jetscape Leisure Limited was amortised evenly over it's estimated useful life of three years. |
| 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 capitalised as they relate to clearly identifiable defined projects and are amortised over the expected period of benefit. |

| Tangible fixed assets |
| Improvements to property | - |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
| Investment property |
| Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Stocks |
| Stock comprises raw materials, work in progress, finished goods and goods for resale and is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. |
| The cost of raw materials and goods for resale is purchase price on a first in first out basis. Work in progress is the cost to date of manufacturing goods for resale. Cost of work in progress is raw material cost plus direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. The cost of finished goods comprises all costs in bringing the goods to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is calculated as the selling price of the finished product or goods for resale less any costs still to be incurred in getting items into their finished state. Provision is made for slow moving, obsolete or damaged stock where the net realisable value is less than the cost of the manufacture. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
| Basic financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
| Financial assets are derecognised when and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, or the Company transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or the Company, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. |
| Classification of financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Basic financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payment ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
| Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Taxation |
| Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. 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. |
| Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences. Deferred tax on revalued non-depreciable tangible fixed assets and investment properties is measured using the rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset. |
| 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. |
| Leases |
| Assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the expected useful life of the asset. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. The related obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in creditors. |
| Where goods are sold using finance leases, the entity recognises turnover from the sale of goods and the rights to receive future lease payments as a debtor. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between finance income and the reduction of the lease debtor with finance income allocated so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the net investment in the finance lease. |
| Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, on-demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments. |
| Employee benefits |
| Short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the obligations for contributions are recognised as an expense in the period they are incurred. Differences between contributions payable in the year and those actually paid are recognised as either prepayments or accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the defined contribution pension scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. |
