DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The director presents the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Fair review of the business
DL M & E Holdings Limited is the holding company of DL M & E Building Services Ltd. DL M & E Building Services Ltd specialises in the provision of Mechanical and Electrical engineering services for construction projects in both private and public sectors. Dividends are received from DL M & E Building Services Ltd and this is the only source of income for the company other than a small amount of bank interest.
Principal risks and uncertainties
There are several potential risks and uncertainties within DL M & E Building Services Ltd, which, in turn, could have a material impact on the dividends paid to DL M & E Holdings Limited. These risks include the following: Operational risk The activities of the business subject it to risks relating to its ability to implement and maintain effective systems and process control. The company has implemented strict process control to monitor commercial and operational risks. Competitor risk The business faces competition in the core markets in which it operates. There is a danger that its profitability may be impaired. To manage this risk, the business maintains close relationships with its customers, introducers, and other significant participants. Supplier risk The business sources products from around the globe. There is the possibility that logistical problems in certain areas of the world may impact on its ability to supply. To mitigate this risk, the company has invested in strong relationships with its suppliers and has a comprehensive portfolio of products that mean it is able to supply from a variety of sources and minimise any disruption to supply. Credit risk The business operates only with Blue Chip clients to mitigate any potential credit risks. The business also ensures that all its potential customers must go through a full test procedure before credit facilities are granted. Key performance indicators The director looks at the trading results of the subsidiary undertaking to assess performance, as this will have an impact on the dividends paid to DL M & E Holdings Limited. This report was approved by the board on 3 July 2026 and signed on its behalf.

DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED DIRECTOR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 The director presents his report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the company continued to be that of a holding company. The company has one subsidiary undertaking being DL M & E Building Services Ltd, a company that undertakes mechanical and electrical installations.
Results and dividends
The results for the year are set out on page 9. Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £1,089,213. The director does not recommend payment of a further dividend.
Director
The director who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements was as follows:
Mr B T G Milner
Future developments
DL M & E Holdings Limited remained non trading throughout the financial year. No income was generated, and no operational activities were carried out. The director considers the level of activity during the year to be consistent with expectations for a non trading entity. Following a review of the group structure, the director has determined that the company is no longer required. It is therefore the intention of the director to take steps to close the company in the forthcoming period. Appropriate actions will be taken to wind the company down in an orderly manner.
Matters covered in the Strategic Report
The company has chosen in accordance with Companies Act 2006, s. 414C(11) to set out in the company's strategic report information required by Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, Sch. 7 to be contained in the directors' report. It has done so in respect of financial instruments.
Disclosure of information to auditors
So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.

DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Director's Report 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to: ∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently; ∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; ∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Page 4
DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of DL M & E Holdings Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: ∙give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 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 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.
Emphasis of matter - Financial statements prepared on a basis other than going concern
We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the director intends to wind up the company through an orderly closure within the next twelve months. Consequently, the director does not consider the company to be a going concern and has prepared the financial statements on a basis other than that of a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The director is responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Page 5
DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Director's Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and ∙the Strategic Report and the Director's Report 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 Director's Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: ∙adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or ∙the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or ∙certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or ∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines 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 director is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Page 6
DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: ∙the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; ∙we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience; ∙we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006 and taxation legislation; ∙we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management; 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; and ∙assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias. 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; and ∙enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. 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. Page 7
DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED) 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 Auditors' 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 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' 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.

DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. | Accounting policies
Company information DL M & E Holdings Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is King House, Stotts Park, James Street, Westhoughton, Bolton. 2.Accounting convention
| 2.1 | Basis of preparation of financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102") and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements: ∙Section 7 'Statement of Cash Flows': Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures ∙Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instrument Issues': Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments not measured at fair value; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income. ∙Section 26 'Share based Payment': Share-based payment expense charged to profit or loss, reconciliation of opening and closing number and weighted average exercise price of share options, how the fair value of options granted was measured, measurement and carrying amount of liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments, explanation of modifications to arrangements. ∙Section 33 'Related Party Disclosures': Compensation for key management personnel. The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts. The financial statements present information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group. DL M & E Holdings Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of BTGM Group Limited and the results of DL M & E Holdings Limited are included in the consolidated financial statements of BTGM Group Limited which are available from King House, Stotts Park, James Street, Bolton. Page 12
DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 2.Accounting convention (continued)
| 2.2 | Going concern
The director has determined that the company is no longer required within the group structure and intends to close the company within the next twelve months. Consequently, the going concern basis of preparation is no longer appropriate and the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern.
| 2.3 | Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable. Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
| 2.4 | Fixed asset investments
Interests in subsidiaries are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
| 2.5 | Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand.
| 2.6 | Financial instruments
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments under Section 1Z exemptions. 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 bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Page 13
DL M & E HOLDINGS LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 2.Accounting convention (continued)
| 2.6 | Financial instruments (continued)
Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 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 and loans from fellow group companies, 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
| 2.7 | Equity Instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
3. | Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other 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.
4. | Employees
| The average monthly number of employees, including the director, during the year was as follows:
