STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 November 2025.
The principal activity of the company during the year was the hire and supply of cranes, lifting equipment and labour.
The company has traded profitably and the Directors are pleased with the results. The profit for the year, before taxation, amounted to £1,567k (2024 - £2,507k). As at 30 November 2025 the company had net assets of £28,405k (2024 - £26,975k). The company is the largest crawler crane hire company in the UK. The crane fleet includes cranes ranging from 40t to 1,350t capacity. By continuing to reinvest in its fleet the company ensures that it has a very modern fleet of cranes allowing it to offer clients the most up to date equipment. The directors believe the company is well placed to provide services to the renewable, oil and gas and construction sectors.
Competition - the company continually invests in new equipment to ensure it can offer clients a wide range of the most up to date equipment, thereby ensuring it stays ahead of its competitors.
Liquidity risk - the company's principal financial instruments are bank balances and hire purchase funding. These are used to raise funds for the company's capital expenditure requirements and to finance the company's ongoing operations. Credit risk - trade debtors are monitored daily to ensure limits are adhered to. Clear policies are in place for new clients.
A range of financial and non-financial Key Performance Indicators are reviewed by the Board including those relating to Turnover, Gross Margin and Employee Numbers.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the 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 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 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 for the company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
∙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 to 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WELDEX (INTERNATIONAL) OFFSHORE LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Weldex (International) Offshore Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 November 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 auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WELDEX (INTERNATIONAL) OFFSHORE LIMITED (CONTINUED)
We have nothing to report in this regard.
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 Directors' report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WELDEX (INTERNATIONAL) OFFSHORE LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Employment, Health and Safety and Taxation legislation plus the Companies Act 2006. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities including fraud to be:
∙Management override of controls to manipulate the group and parent company's key performance indicators to meet targets;
∙Timing and completeness of revenue recognition;
∙Management judgement applied in calculating estimates and provisions; and
∙Compliance with relevant laws and regulations which directly impact the financial statements and those that the group and parent company needs to comply with for the purpose of trading.
Our audit procedures in response to these risks included:
∙Testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness;
∙Evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business;
∙Reviewing judgements made by management in their calculation of accounting estimates for potential management bias;
∙Enquiries of management about litigation and claims and inspection of relevant correspondence;
∙Reviewing legal and professional fees to identify indications of actual or potential litigation, claims and any non compliance with laws and regulations; and
∙Performing a disclosure checklist on the financial statements to ensure Companies Act 2006 requirements are satisfied.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The directors, having made due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the company has adequate working capital to execute its operations over the next 12 months, following the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors, therefore, have made an informed judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The Groups asset-based lending facility (ABL) is due for renewal in September 2026. Subsequent to the year end, the Group received credit approval from its principal lender for the refinancing of the ABL facility for a further three-year term on agreed commercial terms. At the date of approval of these financial statements, the refinancing documentation is in the process of being completed. The Directors have received confirmation of the lender's approval and have no reason to believe that the refinancing will not complete as expected. The Directors have therefore considered the anticipated refinancing in their assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the lender has approved the release of certain security previously provided in support of the Group's borrowing arrangements. As a result, the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Derecognition of financial instruments
Fixed asset impairment The carrying amounts of the company's assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the `cash generating unit` (`CGU`)). An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Fixed asset depreciation Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method for freehold property, and reducing balance for motor vehicles and plant & machinery, with the exception of Cranes which are depreciated using the straight line method. It is company policy to review annually; the assets residual value, useful life and depreciation method. Appropriate adjustments will be made if there is a significant change since the last reporting date.
