STRATEGIC REPORT
for the financial year ended 31 October 2025

 
The directors present their strategic report on the group and the parent company for the financial year ended 31 October 2025.
 
Review of the Company's Business

The group, of which D.A.C. Management is the parent company, continues to operate in both the residential and commercial markets, offering high quality plastering and drylining to high end developments. The strategies employed by the group have remained fundamentally the same as in previous years, the directors choosing to focus on the group's traditional target market within affluent areas of London.

The directors are pleased to report continuing profits in times of uncertainty. The gross profit margin has fallen to 21.8%, having been 32.7% last year. This fall is attributed to rising material costs and increases in employee-related taxes.  Overall, the business continues to generate a profit, and the Balance Sheet shows considerable net assets being well supported by the significant values of the investment properties.

       
Principal Risks and Uncertainties

Working in such a high end market makes the group particularly susceptible to changes in the world economy. A significant number of residential projects are completed with a view to sale to investors from overseas and any impact on the incomes of such investors can have a significant effect on the London housing market. In the event of another worldwide financial crisis the amount of construction work available to the group could fall dramatically.

Commercial contracts are much more influenced by the UK economy and the commission of new projects. The group remains reliant on the generation of new contracts as no income is generated from on-going maintenance.

As with many companies operating in this industry, the maintenance of staff is key to the on-going success of the group. As mentioned above, turnover of key staff has remained low historically but this does not remove an element of uncertainty for the future.

Directors
The directors who served during the financial year are as follows:
     
Mr D P Walsh
Mrs S Walsh
   
     
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
             

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, Directors' Report 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) including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”. 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 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.
                 

Disclosure of Information to Auditor

Each persons who are directors at the date of approval of this report confirms that:

In so far as the directors are aware:

●there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the company's auditor in connection with preparing the auditor's report) of which the company's auditor is unaware, and

●the directors have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.

     
Auditors
The auditors, Henry Reeves and Co Limited, (Chartered Certified Accountants) have indicated their willingness to continue in office in accordance with the provisions of Section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
to the Shareholders of D.A.C. Management Services Limited

 
Report on the audit of the financial statements
 
Opinion
We have audited the group and parent company financial statements of D.A.C. Management Services Limited and its subsidiaries ('the group') for the financial year ended 31 October 2025 which comprise the Group Income Statement, the Group Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Financial Position, the Group Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity, the Group Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies set out in note . The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable Law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 the parent company's affairs as at 31 October 2025 and of the group's profit for the financial year then ended;

●have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

●have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

 
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the 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 the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
 
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
 
Other Information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The directors are 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.

 
Opinion 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
 
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.
 
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
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 for the financial statements
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 they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's 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 to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
 
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these 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:
 

a) Identification with management of significant laws and regulations relating to the company, and how the company maintains compliance. The key laws and regulations we considered included FRS 102, the Companies Act 2006, and tax, data protection, and health and safety legislation. Non-compliance with any key laws or regulations may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.

b) Considering the competencies, independence, and integrity of individuals within the company to identify and recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations.

c) Requesting management confirm and outline any instances of actual, suspected, or alleged fraud in the year. This forms part of the company's representations to us.

d) Reviewing the company's internal control processes by way of substantive testing and journal entries testing. Reasonable implementation of these processes would reduce the likelihood of fraud.

 
Further information regarding the scope of our responsibilities as auditor
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group and the parent company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditor's Report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditor's Report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group and the parent company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
 
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
 
Use of our report

D.A.C. Management Services Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 31 October 2025

   
1. General Information
 
D.A.C. Management Services Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and registered in England. The registered number of the company is 02307804. The registered office of the company is Level 2 Klaco House, 28 St John's Square, Clerkenwell, London, EC1M 4DN which is also the principal place of business of the company. The nature of the company's operations and its principal activities are set out in the Directors' Report. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£) which is also the functional currency of the company.
         
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the group's financial statements.
 
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the company for the financial year ended 31 October 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued by the Financial Reporting Council and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
 
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention.
 
Turnover
Turnover represents rental income from both short-term and long-term lets.  Short-term lets are recognised on the date the short-term stay commences.  Long-term lets are recognised for the month they relate to.  Management charges between group companies are recognised at the year-end.  All income is shown net of value-added tax and trade discounts.
 
Significant judgements and estimates

There are no judgements in relation to specific accounting policies that have a material effect on the amounts recognised within these financial statements.

There are no key sources of estimation or key assumptions concerning the future that carry a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of any assets or liabilities within the next financial year.

It is the case, however, that the Company's investment properties are valued at fair value at the year end, in arriving at this valuation the Company is required to make estimations based on relevant market data.

 
Investment in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less any permanent diminution in value.
 
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operated a defined contribution pension scheme until 5 April 2022. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme were charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate.
 
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. Cost comprises purchase price and other directly attributable costs. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:
 
  Plant and machinery - 25% on cost and 15% on reducing balance
  Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 15% straight line and 15% reducing balance
  Motor vehicles - 25% on cost
 
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually for impairment in periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
 
Investment properties

In accordance with FRS 102, investment properties are not subject to periodic charges for depreciation, but are included in the balance sheet at their estimated fair value at the balance sheet date. The valuations are undertaken by the director.

Changes in the market value of investment properties are dealt with as a movement on the fair value reserve unless a deficit (or its reversal) on an individual investment property is expected to be permanent, in which case it is charged (or credited) in the profit and loss account of the period.

 
Leasing
Rentals payable under operating leases are dealt with in the Income Statement as incurred over the period of the rental agreement.
 
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the same value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
 
Taxation and deferred taxation

Current tax represents the amount expected to be paid or recovered in respect of taxable profits for the financial year and is calculated using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the Statement of Financial Position date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future. Timing differences are temporary differences between the company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are anticipated to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Statement of Financial Position date.

 
Basis of consolidation

The company is required under Section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 to also prepare consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements contain information about DAC Management Services Limited as an individual company and contain consolidated financial information as the parent of David Andrews (Construction) Limited and David Andrews Heritage Limited. The subsidiaries' registered offices are the same as the parent and can be found on the contents page. The financial statements have been consolidated on an equity basis.

 
Financial Instruments
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, related party loan and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
       
3. Turnover
 
The whole of the company's turnover is attributable to its market in United Kingdom and is derived from the principal activity of a group holding company.  The company has an investment property porfolio that generates rental income and it also receives management fees from group companies.
