GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025

INTRODUCTION
 
The director presents his strategic report for the group for the year to 31 May 2025.

BUSINESS REVIEW
 
The Group has continued to focus on its core activity of groundworks. The year ended 31 May 2025 has seen an improvement, with turnover increasing by 5% (2024 - 38% decrease). The Group's gross profit margin has decreased to 10% this year in comparison to 20% in the prior year.

The decline in gross profit is due to rising costs and a provision for onerous contracts. The Company lost two main contracts in 2023 and the effects of this loss are still seen within turnover in the current year.

During the year, pre tax losses of £996,249 (2024 - £389,846 profit) have been generated. Contibuting factors to the losses generated are an increase in subcontract labour of £1,135,977 and additional interest payable of £287,242. During the year, a provision for onerous contracts has been recongised of £717,992 (2024 - £Nil).

Despite these difficulties, cash at bank and in hand remains a healthy balance of £818,024, although lower than the 2024 balance of £2,517,477. Trade debtor days have decreased to 57 days (2024 - 66 days) which shows that the Group has better managed collection of amounts owed to help with cash flow. 

For the year ended 31 May 2025, the liquidity position of the Group using the current ratio is 2.9 (2024 - 4.0), this decrease is due to the fall in trade debtors and cash, and an increase in trade creditors.

The Group maintains a low gearing position of 30% (2024 - 25%), this demonstrates the strong position of the Group's financing options, despite the challenging performance in the year.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
The Director considers the following the main risks and uncertainites facing the Group.

Contracts running late:
The Group agrees completion dates for each customer contract which have to be adhered to otherwise financial penalties will become payable. 

Health and safety:
The Group is committed to maintaining high standards in regards to Health and Safety requirements to protect its employees, contractors and customer personnel. Management monitors legislation  regularly for updates and takes the appropiate action to communicate these to the relevant personnel. 

Credit control:
All new customers are assessed for credit worthiness and periodic checks are carried out for existing customers. Management regularly monitor the trade debtor balances and maintain good relations with customers to ensure credit terms are adhered to.

Inflation:
In the 12 months to May 2025 inflation remained at 2% (2024 - 2%). The Director monitors the Group’s costs and the profit margins of individual contracts to manage the impact of inflation. Due to the nature of operations of the group, costs of raw materials will be impacted by inflation.

Rising interest rates:
The group holds a number of different liabilities which incur interest payable. Due to the inflation seen, interest rates have risen. However, the group’s liabilities, such as hire purchase obligations, are at fixed interest rates which mitigates the impact on the group.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CALLINGTON'S CONSTRUCTION LIMITED
 

OPINION


We have audited the financial statements of Callington's Construction Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiary (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 May 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated and Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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's affairs as at 31 May 2025 and of the Group's loss 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 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.


CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Director's 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 or 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 Director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

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 Group 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 Group 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 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 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 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 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

In preparing the financial statements, the Director is 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 Director either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CALLINGTON'S CONSTRUCTION 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 Group 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 capability to detect irregularities is based on the auditor identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

A) IDENTIFYING AND ASSESSING POTENTIAL RISKS RELATED TO IRREGULARITIES
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, the following approach was taken:
• Understanding the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
• Consideration of the results of our enquiries of management and those charged with governance about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
• Understanding the company's policies and procedures on compliance with laws and regulations and management of fraud risk, including documentation of instances of non-compliance of laws and regulations and instances of actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
• Consideration of matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud;
• Understanding the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in through enquiry of management and those charged with governance and understanding the company's industry and sector. The key laws and regulations that were considered to have an effect on material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements included the Companies Act and tax legislation.

B) AUDIT RESPONSE TO RISKS IDENTIFIED
Based on this understanding, the following audit procedures were designed and performed to respond to the risks identified:
• Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statement;
• Enquiring of management, those charged with governance and, where applicable, the company's solicitors concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
• Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
• Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and, where applicable, correspondence with regulators;
• Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business;
• Communication of potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remaining alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.


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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025

1.


GENERAL INFORMATION

Callington's Construction Limited is a private Company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales within the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is Unit 5 Sheene Road, Gorse Hill Industrial Estate, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE4 1BF. 

The principal activity of the group is that of construction projects and groundworks.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
2.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.

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.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance Sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

The results of both the parent and subsidiary undertaking included in the consolidated results are for the year ended 31 May 2025.

 
2.3

GOING CONCERN

The Director has considered the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. He has concluded that the going concern basis is appropriate because sufficient funds will be generated from future trading for a period of at least twelve months from the date of the approval of these financial statements to enable the company to meet its liabilities as they arise.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be result from the withdrawal of this support.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.4

REVENUE

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

 
2.5

LEASED ASSETS: THE GROUP AS LESSEE

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

 
2.6

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.7

FINANCE COSTS

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.8

PENSIONS

Defined contribution pension plan

The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.9

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits;
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.


 
2.10

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the Group's share of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over its useful economic life.

Other intangible assets

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

 The estimated useful lives range as follows:

Goodwill
-
10
years

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.11

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property
-
Not depreciated
Plant and machinery
-
15% Reducing balance
Motor vehicles
-
15% Reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
-
15% Reducing balance
Office equipment
-
15% Reducing balance

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.

No depreciation has been provided on freehold property as the property is maintained in such a state of repair that its residual value is at least equal to its net book value. As a result the corresponding depreciation would not be material, and therefore is not charged to the profit and loss account.

 
2.12

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.13

DEBTORS

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price.

 
2.14

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

 
2.15

CREDITORS

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.16

PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.

Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
 
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

 
2.17

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of
financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other
third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each
reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found,
an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 
2.18

DIVIDENDS

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.


3.



JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The Group makes certain estimates and judgements regarding the future which are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including the expected future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and judgements.

Recoverability of debt and contract assets- it is part of the process of gaining new business to carry out checks on the organisations for which the Group will carry out work. The value of individual contracts is substantial, and the risk of default is always present, so the estimates made of the non-recoverability of the debt and any expected credit losses by the Director is critical. During the year provision has been made of £705,389 (2024 - £50,000) against specific customer debts.

Revenue and profitability of construction contracts - individual contacts are negotiated so as to provide a reasonable return to the Group. The calculation of margin to be achieved and the pricing set by the director is of paramount importance to the success of the Group. The Director makes an accounting estimate which is an assessment of the stage of completion of construction contracts at the year end informed by cost incurred to the year end and professional certification of work completed.
