The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The SEH French directors would firstly like to acknowledge the hard work and commitment from our most important asset, our people. The board would like to thank them for their continued professionalism, hard work, and loyalty throughout the recent challenging economic times.

The attached accounts highlight turnover increased 55.05% from £22.0m in 2024 to £33.1m in 2025. This high increase is due to larger scale projects being secured in Q4 of 2024 and 2025. The strategic decision to identify suitable large scale contracts was made to reflect the capabilities of the business, in a marketplace which was less volatile than previous recent years.

The business reported an operating profit of £1.01m in 2025 (2024 - £1.05m). It is a pleasing result in such a competitive market place and substantiates the strategic approach of the company.

The company continues to maintain a strong cash position with the year-end cash at £4.1m (2024 - £4.1m). The steadiness reflects the continued strong performance of the company. The directors are pleased to once again report no issues have arisen in the year with regards collection of debtor balances.

SEH French Limited has continued to invest in the business, particularly with the recruitment of new staff, to manage the workload appropriately and also the vital retention and development of existing key staff.

As a construction company the business is naturally subject to a number of commercial and non-commercial risks. The directors are acutely aware of these risks and therefore proactively manages performance on a daily basis.

Any changes in risk levels are identified early and actions taken to mitigate the company’s exposure.

Ongoing reviews identify the following key areas of potential risk and the company strategy to mitigate these risks:

The safety of our stakeholders, employees and supply chain is paramount. All sites are managed by suitably qualified staff and have regular detailed and robust safety inspections.

The ever changing availability of some products and materials, coupled with price volatility, provides an operational and financial risk to the business as well as the immediate supply chain, the wider market and industries beyond.

The directors are confident that the business is able to efficiently manage the supply chain issues. The availability and cost of materials and resources are continually monitored, and the procurement programmed accordingly, to meet our contractual obligations.

All contracts are monitored on a monthly basis to review financial performance and contractual positions, with more in-depth reviews undertaken quarterly.

To provide knowledge of the market, the pipeline of work and potential work in all sectors and for all clients is established and monitored on a regular basis.

• The risk of engaging in contracts of substantial size where client, team or location could generate substantial commercial loss. This risk is mitigated by a detailed tender analysis procedure and comprehensive review of all contracts directly by board members.

• The retention and recruitment of quality staff and operatives is always a key risk to the business particularly in a growing market. The board remain committed to succession planning and have continued to promote staff from within the business to maintain and strengthen the team The company is also supported at group level with formal procedures for HR training and career development.

• A financial risk for the company is cash collection. The risk associated with trade debtors is managed by completing independent credit ratings for prospective clients before contracts are entered into.

• Once works have commenced on site the company monitors aged debtors very closely and will take a proactive approach to debt collection if required. Cash is monitored on a daily basis as well as monitored closely at group level where support for short term cash requirements is readily available.

• At the forefront of non-commercial risk is maintaining a healthy and safe working environment for our people, clients and suppliers. The directors remain fully committed to sustaining the high level of performance which has been the norm within the business for many years.

Turnover increased to £33.1m (2024: £22.0m) and with an operating profit of £1.01m (2024: £1.05m) which indicates the correlation of turnover to profit was appropriate, whilst also noting it allowed for the recruitment of staff to efficiently manage and sustain this level of turnover. It also highlights the there is a market position for SEH French at this level.

Key performance indicators

At the forefront of this is a healthy and safe working environment, which remains of paramount importance to the directors. The company did not incur any RIDDORs in the year. The business’s structured and robust Quality, Safety and Environmental team, continues to manage all health and safety matters extremely well. There were no environmental incidents in 2025, which follows on from no reportable incidents in 2024.

Future developments

The outlook for 2026 is positive, with over £29m of work secured for 2026 and beyond.

The continued disciplined approach of carefully considering all factors when selecting new work has supported resilient performance during volatile times while enabling measured investment in recruitment and the development of the existing staff. Such development enables the organisation to sustain our current position in the marketplace whilst also having the opportunity to expand, should it be deemed suitable to do so.

On behalf of the board

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The company's principal activities during the year were that of a regional main contractor / principal contractor, competing predominately within the private and public commercial building sectors.

The results for the year are set out on page 8.

Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £400,000. The directors do not recommend payment of a further dividend.

The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

Financial instruments

The company does not actively use financial instruments as part of its financial risk management. It is exposed to the usual credit risk and cash flow risk associated with selling on credit and manages this through credit control procedures.

The company's policy is to finance working capital through retained earnings.

The directors do not consider any other risks attaching to the use of financial instruments to be material to an assessment of the company's financial position or profit.

Strategic report

The directors have included a business review within the strategic report. Also included in the strategic report are details of the future developments of the company, the principal risks and uncertainties and a review of the key performance indicators as assessed by the directors.

So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.

Medium-sized companies exemption

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the medium-sized companies exemption.

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual 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). 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 then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 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 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.

We have audited the financial statements of SEH French Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended;

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

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

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the 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 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our 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.

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.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, 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 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council’s website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team:

• obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector, including the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in and how the company are complying with the legal and regulatory framework;

• enquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known, actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud;

• discussed matters about non-compliance with laws or regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud.

• in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of potential bias, and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The income statement has been prepared on the basis that all operations are continuing operations.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions relating to medium-sized companies.

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements

The company is itself a subsidiary company and is exempt from the requirement to prepare group accounts by virtue of section 400 of the Companies Act 2006. These financial statements therefore present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group.

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":

• the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;

• the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);

• the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a}(iii), 11.48(a)(iv}, 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);

This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of One Group Construction Limited as at 31 December 2025 and these financial statements may be obtained from Companies House, Crown Way, Cardiff, CF14 3UZ.

The Company is part of the group headed by One Group Construction Limited. Detailed forecasts of the Company and Group for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements have been considered. Taking into account the current economic climate and reasonably possible downsides, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group has sufficient resources to meet their obligations as they fall due and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.true

Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Turnover consists of income derived from long term contracts on housing and commercial developments.

All housing and commercial developments are treated as long term due to the length of the contracts and the level of income they derive. Turnover for such contracts is stated at cost appropriate to their stage of completion plus attributable profits, less amounts recognised in previous periods. Provision is made for any losses which are foreseen. Turnover is recognised when applications for payment are raised following the completion of stages of the contract. Applications for stage payments are issued on a monthly basis and are net of value added tax, where appropriate, and trade discounts. Where profit shares are linked to the sale of new build properties, profits above the normal level of contracting margin are recognised on receipt of the profit share element.

Interest income is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the company holds a long-term interest and where the company has significant influence. The company considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate.

Entities in which the company has a long term interest and shares control under a contractual arrangement are classified as jointly controlled entities.

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, and amounts due to fellow group companies , are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

Long-term contracts

Amounts recoverable on contracts are included in debtors and represent turnover recognised in excess of payments received from clients. Payments received from clients in excess of the turnover recognised are included within payments on account in creditors. Amounts included within work in progress represent costs incurred on contracts in their initial stages as at the year end for which no application for payment has been made.

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Contract accounting (see note 13)

The company applies its policies on turnover and contracts when recognising revenue and profit on partially completed contract. The application of this policy requires judgements to be in respect of the total expected costs to complete and the profit margin achievable on each contract. Where remedial work or additional obligations arise after recognition of contract revenue, management estimates expected costs to fulfil these obligations and includes them within contracts costs at the year end. The company has in place established internal control processes to ensure that the evaluation of costs and revenues is based upon appropriate estimates.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

Their aggregate remuneration comprised:

During the year retirement benefits were accruing to 2 directors (2024: 2) in respect of defined contribution pension schemes.

The actual charge for the year can be reconciled to the expected charge for the year based on the profit or loss and the standard rate of tax as follows:

Anglia Joinery Limited was dormant during the period ended 31 December 2025.

Amounts owed by group undertakings are unsecured, interest free and repayable on demand.

Amounts recoverable on long term contracts consists of balances outstanding for periods up to two years. Swift resolution of amounts recoverable on contracts occurs when contractual issues are simple and agreed by all parties. Long protracted resolutions occur when contractual disagreement arises on complex interpretation to additional works carried out, or additional costs incurred, and the relevant liability of all the various parties to the contract for these additional costs. Resolution occurs through a combination of negotiation, adjudication and legal action.

Amounts owed to group undertakings are unsecured, interest free and repayable on demand

The following are the major deferred tax liabilities and assets recognised by the company:

The deferred tax asset set out above is expected to reverse within 12 months and relates to the utilisation of tax losses against future expected profits of the same period.

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund.

Included within other creditors is £22,461 (2024: £17,134) relating to outstanding pension contributions.

In the event of winding up of the company, the ordinary 'A' shares have first rights for repayment of up to £350,000 in proportion to the number of 'A' shares held. Thereafter, the remaining assets of the company will be distributed as follows; 90% to the holders of 'A' shares and 10% to the holders of 'B' shares.

The company's reserves are as follows:

Called up share capital

Called up share capital represents the nominal value of the shares issued.

Share premium account

The share premium account includes the premium on issue of equity shares, net of any issue costs. Profit and loss account

The profit and loss account represents cumulative profits or losses, net of dividends paid and other adjustments.

There is a contingent liability in respect of guarantees given by the company in common with fellow subsidiaries, to its bankers for loan and overdraft facilities granted to the ultimate parent company, One Group Construction Limited, and its subsidiaries. Debt is further secured by legal charges over property owned by the group. At the year-end other companies in the group had gross overdrafts amounting to £12,256,499 (2024: £13,327,967).

The group has a right of set off between overdrafts and current account balances. At the year-end gross overdraft balances were fully offset, with a net current account balance across the group totalling £37,359,669 (2024: £33,294,418).
