GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2026

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30th April 2026.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The principal activity of the company is that of an investment holding company.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
On 17th October 2025 the company's subsidiary changed its trading name to HLS McConnell Limited and post year end on 9th June 2026 changed its trading name to McConnell Limited.

We have delivered another solid year of growth. Group turnover increased to £87.3m (from £81.6m in FY25), and our group Operating Profit was £2.3m. The most impressive area of growth was in our forward order book, which has increased to over £700m.

Our turnover growth was restricted by contract slippage mostly occasioned by changes in government procurement protocols and building safety regulator delays.

Our significant order book growth is a result of strategic long-term investment that has positioned McConnell to secure large scale framework and direct award contracts for planned major building refurbishment investment programmes across all sectors that we operate.

The company continues to invest for growth, and the primary investment continues to be in people. We have continued to strengthen our senior leadership and management teams, beyond our growth, to give us operational resilience and ensure our service standards.

Another significant area of investment in FY26 was in managing our ESG responsibilities. This included the creation of a bespoke CARE Impact Plan that enables us to more effectively plan, invest, and deliver, positive change for people, communities, and the environment. In 2025 we generated £12.2m* in added social and environmental value for the people and communities that we work within (*calculated using the TOMS Framework method).

The Directors are very pleased with the overall performance of the business in FY26 and would like to thank all employees, supply chain partners, advisors, and customers for their support, commitment, and loyalty.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2026

Ownership Risk

- The owners actively work in the business.
- No external investors, no private equity, no external shareholders.
- Empowered decision-making that leverages ownership, experience, and expertise, while maintaining the necessary level of control and accountability.

Diversification Risk

- Committed to existing markets.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2026

ENERGY AND CARBON REPORT
McConnell is committed to meeting its environmental and climate obligations.

Managing Environmental Impacts

McConnell is committed to taking a comprehensive approach to reducing its environmental impacts. The Company takes a continuous improvement approach to its energy and fuel usage across its operations, making significant efforts to manage our office space efficiently, and ensuring our fleet is on a long-term trajectory of emissions reduction. Through ongoing collaboration with all our stakeholders, we are looking to deliver a long-term structured programme to reduce carbon across all aspects of our operation and we are committed to meeting the Government's target of Carbon Net Zero by 2050 and will strive to deliver ahead of time. Transport emissions remain our priority area, but we consider all our transport, power, and energy options. The intention remains to invest in proven green technologies at appropriate points in the future to ensure a well-managed and credible approach to achieve our Carbon Net Zero target. McConnell also takes a proactive approach to our wider environmental impacts.

Our Environmental Management Policy shapes the way we manage our impacts on a day-to-day basis to complement our longer-term strategic approach.

McConnell has held the ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard for 6 years.

Reporting Boundary

This disclosure covers McConnell's UK operations for the period 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2026. It includes mandatory Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and, for the first time, all five Scope 3 categories required under PPN 006: upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, and downstream transportation and distribution.
FY26 therefore forms the baseline for the expanded Scope 3 reporting boundary.

Energy consumption

UK energy consumption from natural gas, purchased electricity, stationary combustion, mobile combustion and business travel was:


UK Energy Usage (kwh) 2024/25 (kwh) 2025/26 (kwh)
Natural gas 21,451.59 44,732.80
Electricity 156,792 217,134.60
Stationary Combustion 182,633.95 474,671.19
Mobile Combustion 1,784,683.61 3,300,075.07
Business travel 664,592.66 177,694.41
Totals 2,810,153.81 4,214,308.08

Greenhouse Gas emissions

Emissions are reported in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, or tCO2e.


Scope/category Emission source FY 2024/25 tCO2e FY 2025/26 tCO2e
Scope 1 - direct emissions Natural gas 4.57 9.54

Scope 3 subtotal 164.79 3,039.20
Total reported emissions 795.26 4,212.62


FY26 includes additional Scope 3 categories reported for the first time, so the total footprint is not directly comparable with FY25 on a full-boundary basis.

Performance and Intensity


Measure FY 25 FY 26
Turnover £81.6m £87.3m
Scope 1 and 2 intensity 7.7 tCO2e per £m 13.5 tCO2e per £m
Total emissions intensity 9.75 per tCO2e £m 48.37 tCO2e per £m


For emissions sources reported in both years, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions increased from 630.47 tCO2e to 1,173.42 tCO2e. This was primarily due to increased fuel consumption across company vehicles, plant and site equipment. This reflects higher project activity, a greater value of work delivered and increased uptake of company cars.

The largest FY26 emissions sources were waste generated in operations, fleet and plant fuel use, employee commuting, and upstream transportation and distribution.

Methodology

Emissions were calculated using McConnell activity data and the UK Government Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2025, unless stated otherwise.

The standard calculation applied was:

Activity data × emission factor = kgCO2e

kgCO2e ÷ 1,000 = tCO2e

Utility records provided the natural gas and electricity data, while transaction and fuel-card records supplied fuel consumption data. Business travel information came from mileage claims, travel expenses, and booking records. Waste contractor reports and supplier portals formed the basis of the waste data. Employee commuting emissions were estimated using employee numbers and assumed travel patterns.

Upstream transportation and distribution was estimated as a first-year screening calculation using the top 20 suppliers by spend, an internally assessed freight proportion and external DEFRA spend-based factors by SIC code. These factors were adjusted to 2025 prices using the ONS Construction Output Price Index.

Downstream transportation and distribution was assessed as not applicable because McConnell does not sell physical products requiring onward distribution.

Energy efficiency and carbon reduction activity

During FY26, McConnell:

- Maintained ISO 14001-supported environmental management processes
- Strengthened monthly carbon data reporting through Goodsted
- Continued virtual meetings, controlled travel planning and local procurement
- Promoted energy awareness across offices and sites

MCCONNELL GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 15693464)

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2026

- Reviewed fleet efficiency and increased EV and PHEV uptake where operationally suitable

Priorities for FY27 include improving waste treatment evidence, reducing fleet and plant fuel use, improving supplier transport data and strengthening employee commuting data.

A more detailed internal SECR report and calculation workbook are maintained to support this condensed disclosure.


Future prospects

Our core addressable market continues to be made up of the cyclical financial investment required to maintain and update high-value property assets, to allow them to continue to be occupied, functional, rentable, mortgageable, insurable, and leveraged. History has shown us that the building and infrastructure maintenance and refurbishment sectors are extremely resilient to political change, policy change, and recessions.

It is widely reported that the buildings in many of our sectors have suffered from under-investment over a long period of time, and there is a continued essential and growing need for building owners to invest in and improve the condition of built assets in Housing, Health, Education, Public Buildings, and Defence Infrastructure, in order to retain and improve their functionality, and protect their underlying asset value. Add to this, the mandatory requirement to reduce carbon emissions from all built form in the UK, and the national cladding and fire remediation programmes, and we consider there is a compelling resilience to our core addressable markets. We estimate that the annual spend in the UK for the maintenance and refurbishment of all buildings and infrastructure, is in the region of £15bn to £17bn. McConnell directly addresses around 75% of that expenditure by geography and work-type, and we have a very small market share of this. Even allowing for a counter-intuitive reduction in investment in our addressable markets, we still see significant opportunity for continued growth and consolidation.

We are confident that McConnell remains well-placed to continue to develop and grow successfully and has excellent internal and external resilience and opportunity

Stakeholder engagement

Our people are our most important assets and our largest area of investment. Our Company 'Why' is "to create an authentic environment where people can be the best versions of themselves, where they can blossom and reach their full potential, feeling safe and secure, achieving a healthy life balance, and enjoying their career." We actively engage with our employees directly, and through numerous interactive communication channels, including an Employee Forum that has direct access and influence with our senior leadership team. We offer competitive remuneration and enlightened benefit packages that are designed to attract and retain the best people. This year we added the benefit of direct access to world-class mental health experts for all employees and their spouses.

Our relationship with our business partners including clients, suppliers, subcontractors, and how we engage with the communities in which we work, is fundamental to our success. We have a set of Care Values and Leadership Principles that define how we conduct ourselves in these relationships, and we are rigorous in ensuring that we act in accordance with these. We have experienced and empowered leaders in the areas of Customer Experience, Social Value, Health & Safety, Supply Chain Relations, Environmental Management and Governance, and robust policies and accreditation that underpin our performance. We strive to work in an open and collaborative way with all stakeholders and build positive, long-lasting, mutually beneficial, relationships.

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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the financial statements;
- 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

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 group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2026


AUDITORS
The auditors, Cook & Partners Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





Robert Henry McGregor - Director


24th July 2026

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
MCCONNELL GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of McConnell Group Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30th April 2026 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 the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 30th April 2026 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
MCCONNELL GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
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.

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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company 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 eight, 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
MCCONNELL GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

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.

Auditors approach to assessing the risks of material misstatement due to irregularities, including fraud.

Our approach was as follows:

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity. The following laws and regulations are considered to be significant to the entity:

- Financial reporting Standard 102
- Companies Act 2006
- UK General Data Protection Regulation

We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud as follows:

- Discussed the risk of material misstatement due to irregularities, including fraud with management at the planning stage to confirm that risks had been adequately identified and that the controls in place are sufficient for the size and nature of the business to reduce those risks to an acceptably low level.

- Undertook an initial analytical review of the financial statements to identify any potentially unusual or unexpected relationships or high risk audit areas.

- Completed a risk assessment checklist to aid in the identification of Risks for a company of this size and nature.

- We considered the risk of fraud through management override of controls, a common risk in a company of this size and nature, in response; we incorporated testing of manual journal entries into our audit approach and undertook a purely substantive approach to the audit with no reliance placed on controls.

- Accounting policies were reviewed at the planning stage to identify any subjective measurements or complex transactions where management would have the potential to show bias.

- Ensured all in the audit team are aware of the risks identified and particular areas that were susceptible to misstatement and during the audit planning meeting.

- Throughout the audit additional substantive testing was undertaken in areas where there was perceived to be a medium or high risk of misstatement.

- Audit testing was undertaken in a manner that was unpredictable in nature, selection and timing when compared to previous years work.

- The engagement Partners final review of the audit file and financial statements included a detailed review of all areas of medium or high risk identified at the planning stage of the audit.

Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations identified above:

- Financial reporting Standard 102, Companies Act 2006 and UK General Data Protection Regulation. The audit team all have a good understanding of the requirements under these laws and regulations common to most trading businesses and were alert throughout the audit to any potential instances of non-compliance.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
MCCONNELL GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED


- Further, at both the planning and completion stage of the audit enquiries where made of management regarding any known instances of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.

- These representations were corroborated where possible through the review of board minutes and correspondence with HMRC and companies house. No contradictory evidence was noted.

We consider that the work detailed above has ensured that the likelihood of detection of irregularities including fraud is considered to be high both at management level and during our audit approach. It is however worth noting that there is an inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities and there is no guarantee that all irregularities have been identified.

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2026

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

McConnell Group Holdings 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 General Information page.

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 financial statements have been prepared in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest thousands.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

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 as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses for the year. The key sources of estimation uncertainty are as follows:

Depreciation and amortisation of tangible and intangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The expected lives of assets and their residual values are assessed regularly and may vary depending on a number of factors including asset life cycles, maintenance programmes etc.

Impairment of assets
Tangible fixed assets, intangible fixed assets, fixed asset investments, stock and debtors are all reviewed for evidence of impairment.

In connection with fixed assets (tangible, intangible and investments) factors taken into consideration include the economic viability and the expected future financial performance of the assets.

Trade debtors are reviewed for evidence of impairment. Factors considered include ageing, past recovery rates, customer creditworthiness, and the stage and expected outcome of any recovery proceedings.

Contract accounting
When determining the amount to include as amounts recoverable on contracts and thereby the amount of profit to recognise on individual contracts, factors such as the stage of completion and forecasted outturn of the contract are taken into account.

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the parent company. McConnell Group Holdings Limited and its 100% owned subsidiary McConnell Group Limited and its 100% subsidiary McConnell Limited. No members of the group have been excluded from consolidation. All inter-group balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. The consolidated accounts are prepared using uniform accounting policies.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. The results of acquired subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income from the date that control is obtained.

The cost of a business combination is measured at the aggregate of the fair value (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus costs attributable to the business combination.

Any excess of the cost of the business over the group 's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recognised as goodwill.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

The policy adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows:

Construction contracts

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract costs and turnover are
recognised by reference to the stage of completion at the balance sheet date. Stage of completion is measured by reference to agreed valuations, current and projected contract costs and expected sales value. Where the outcome cannot be measured reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred and contract turnover is recognised to the extent of costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 10 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.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Plant and machinery - 25% on cost and 25% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost and 15% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost

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

Financial instruments
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other external charges.

Cash on the balance sheet comprises cash in hand and cash at bank.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2026

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

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 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.

Employee benefits
When employees have rendered service to the company, short term benefits (including holiday pay) to which employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

22. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

On completion of some of its roofing contracts, a subsidiary company provides a written guarantee for its works. Under the terms of the guarantees, which mostly last for ten years, a subsidiary company is required to make good any defects which appear in its work during the guarantee period.

This guarantee system has been in place for over ten years and, in general, only minor repairs (if any) have been required. Since any estimate of the future costs of these minor repairs would be wholly subjective, no provision is made for them in the accounts and their cost is charged to the profit and loss account in the year in which they occur. If however any substantial post year end repairs are identified, the cost of such repairs would be accrued in the accounts.

In August 2024, the group entered into an agreement with IGF Business Credit Limited for an invoice discounting facility of up to £7 million, secured against group assets. As of the year-end, no amounts were outstanding under this facility, and the business did not make use of the facility at any point during the period, reflecting its strong working capital position and cash management.

25. SHARE OPTIONS

McConnell Group Holdings Limited entered into share option agreements with various employees under an equity-based incentive scheme. A total of 12,500 options were granted, allowing employees to subscribe for ordinary shares at a predetermined price, subject to vesting upon the occurrence of a qualifying event, specifically, the sale of shares by an existing shareholder (an "Exit"). Options may only be exercised immediately prior to such an Exit and while the employee remains eligible, and will lapse on the earliest of several events including the tenth anniversary of grant, the death or insolvency of the option holder, or the occurrence of a disqualifying event.

No options were exercised during the year, and no consideration was received. As the qualifying event is not currently considered probable, no expense has been recognised in the profit and loss account. The company will recognise the fair value of the share options once it becomes probable that the vesting conditions will be met.
