Strategic Report
Year ended 31 December 2025
The director presents his strategic report for the year to 31 December 2025. The group provides pipework fabrications and structural steelwork to industrial and commercial clients throughout the UK and throughout a range of sectors, including steel, fuel, chemical and pharmaceutical. The group also provides other engineering services, such as under pressure drilling, pipeline inspection and valve overhaul. REVIEW OF BUSINESS The group contracts with a key customer, Tata Steel UK and the level of sales is reliant upon the demand for maintenance from Tata Steel UK. Annual sales fluctuations are therefore expected and gross margin targets depend upon the mixture of job types and the competition within the tendering process. The group has responded to the closure of the heavy end at Tata Steel UK by diversifying into new sectors such as petrochemical, oil & gas and metals and mining. The company aligns with the UK & Welsh Governments aim to reduce carbon omissions by becoming involved in renewable energy contracts in the near future involving offshore wind, whilst also fulfilling current contracts and being involved in the decommissioning process of Tata Steel UK. The group has developed a state-of-the-art skills academy to develop Welding and Fabrication skills and has created a Centre of Excellence based in Port Talbot. It uses expert face-2-face tuition; accumulated workforce skills and experience, the latest equipment, industry tested protocols and interactive, immersive, digital technologies to drive a competency and capability hub for Welding and Fabrication skills in south Wales. In doing so, it aims to ensure the creation and continuous replenishment of a highly skilled, work ready, labour-force that is 'future proofed' for the demands of the Celtic Freeport, the drive to Net Zero and the requirements of the Circular Economy.

DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE The director aims to maintain the management policies which has resulted in the group's growth in recent years. The results for the current year show that the group has maintained the successful results as in previous years, with the gross profit margin levels in line with expectations and wider industry performance. The company has been embracing new opportunities in the market and has diversified into new areas some of which attract slightly lower margins.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
As a result of the group's concentration of sales with one key customer, there is a significant risk to the company in relation to the loss of this key customer. The director recognises that such a risk exists and strive to ensure that the quality of the group's services, efficiency of service delivery and compliance with key laws and regulations exceeds that of the group's competitors, therefore helping to mitigate the risk of loss of the key customer. The director also seeks to obtain contracts from other customers and have increased sales from new customers within the year. The retention of skilled staff is another risk facing the group and the director aims to ensure that rates of pay offered by the group are competitive, whilst still ensuring that the group is able to continue to trade profitably. The group delivers its services within a heavy industry environment and adherence to stringent health and safety regulations and safe working practices is of paramount importance. The director and senior key employees have extensive experience within the heavy industry environment; the group has developed training and monitoring procedures that ensure compliance with key regulations and the group has enjoyed an excellent record with regard to the instances of accidents.

Mr V T Johnson
DIVIDENDS
Particulars of recommended dividends are detailed in note 13 to the financial statements.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The director is optimistic regarding the future prospects of the group and considers that the current year will continue to be profitable. The afterdate results show that activity has continued to be stable. Following the announcement of the closure of part of the plant of their key customer, the group is diversifying into new markets and expanding their customer base as well as continuing its contracts with existing customers. The group maintains long standing relationships with a number of customers and suppliers throughout the UK and continues to seek to expand this customer base. The group has received a positive response to the development of its Skills Academy. While this will help JES as a group to transform, diversify and grow, it is wholly inclusive, open and available to all.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The group's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, director loans, hire purchase agreements, trade debtors and creditors. The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds for and finance the group's operations.
The group's approach to managing other risks applicable to the financial instruments concerned is shown below.
In respect of bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between the continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of deposit accounts and current accounts. The group has accumulated a high level of cash reserves in order to mitigate the credit risk associated with trade debtors and to facilitate growth.
In respect of the director loans, these comprise loans to and from the director. No interest is charged on the loans and repayments are set at a level dependant upon the working capital needs of the group.
Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit risk. The group also maintains increased cash reserves, to mitigate the differential between average debtor days and average creditor days. Trade creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due.
The group is exposed to price risk as a result of its operations, in particular adverse fluctuations in employment related costs and the costs of raw materials. The group manages price risk by reviewing prices of goods with various suppliers, ensuring that they are receiving a competitive price and that price increases are passed on to the group's customers. The group also regularly reviews the labour rates paid to employees to ensure that they are competitive, yet are able to be recharged to the group's customers.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The group will continue its policy of investment in research and development in order to retain a competitive position in the market.
QUALIFYING INDEMNITY PROVISION
The Articles of Association of the company contain an indemnity in favour of the Director of the company that, subject to law, indemnifies the Director, out of the assets of the Company, from any liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings in which judgement is given in their favour (or otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on their part).
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT
The company has chosen in accordance with section 414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 to set out in the company's strategic report information required by schedule 7 of the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The director is responsible for preparing the strategic report, director's report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and the company and the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgments 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 director is 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. He is 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 Auditor's Report to the Members of J.E.S. Holdings Limited
Year ended 31 December 2025
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of J.E.S. Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, company statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity, company statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows 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 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 of the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of the group's profit for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; - 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 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 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.
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 director is 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 in 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 the audit:
- the information given in the 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 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 its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified 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, 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 the 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; and
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTOR
As explained more fully in the director's responsibilities statement, the director is 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 director determines 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 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.
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: - We obtained an understanding of the legal regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the group and determined that the most significant of those relate to the reporting framework (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard as applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice)) and the relevant tax compliance regulations, principally relating to those issued by HMRC. In addition, we concluded that there are certain significant laws and regulations which may have an effect on the determination of the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements being the General Data Protection Regulation, and those laws and regulations relating to health and safety and employee matters. - We understood how the group is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures. We corroborated our enquiries through our review of Board minutes and by understanding the entity level controls implemented by those charged with governance. - We assessed the susceptibility of the Group's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by meeting with management to understand where it considered there was susceptibility to fraud. We also considered where the significant estimates and judgements are in the financial statements. We assessed the programmes and controls that the Group has established to address risks identified, or that otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud; and how senior management monitors those programmes and controls. Where risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk. These procedures including testing manual journals and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. - Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved, journal entry testing, with a focus on manual journals or unusual transactions based on our understanding of the business. Health and Safety is one of the key regulations to the group due to the nature of the work that the group conducts. Health & safety policies and procedures were confirmed to be in place and accident records were reviewed to ensure action had been taken where incidents had occurred to prevent them reoccurring. We also contacted the group's solicitors and confirmed documentation in relation to property transactions was completed and submitted correctly. 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. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: - Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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's internal control. - Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the director. - Conclude on the appropriateness of the director's 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's or 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 or 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. - Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 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
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.

J.E.S. Holdings Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 December 2025
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
J.E.S. Holdings Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England & Wales, United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is given in the company information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the company's operations and principal activities are those of a holding company and holding of assets for investment purposes.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)', and the Companies Act 2006.
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £1. The reporting period of these financial statements and its comparative period is 12 months. These financial statements only include the results of the group made up to 31 December 2025. Business combinations are accounted for under the merger accounting method. All intra-group balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Going concern
The group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its bank facilities. After making enquiries, the director has a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This expectation also takes into account any potential inflationary and interest rate risks. The group's forecasts and projections, taking account reasonably the aforementioned possible changes in trading performance, show that the group should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. The director has considered the impact of the closure of certain areas within the plant of one of their key customers, and has implemented the effect of this into the projections for the next 3 years. The group is looking at new opportunities in the market and has started diversifying into new areas to minimise any risks imposed on the group. Therefore the group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
Disclosure exemptions
The individual parent company satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. Its financial statements are consolidated into the financial statements of J.E.S (Holdings) Limited which can be obtained from the registered office. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102 in the individual parent company accounts (a) From preparing a statement of cash flows, on the basis that it is a qualifying entity and the consolidated statement of cash flows, included in these financial statements, includes the company's cash flows.1.12(c). (b) From the financial instrument disclosures, required under FRS 102 paragraphs, 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b), 11.48(c), 12.26, 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A, as the information is provided in the consolidated financial statement disclosures. (c) From disclosing the company key management personnel compensation, as required by FRS 102 paragraph 33.7.
Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.
Loans and borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of J.E.S. Holdings Limited , and its subsidiary undertakings for the year ended 31 December 2025. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Where the group owns less than 50% of the voting powers of an entity but controls the entity by virtue of an agreement with other investors which give it control of the financial and operating policies of the entity it accounts for that entity as a subsidiary. Where a subsidiary has different accounting policies to the Group, adjustments are made to those subsidiary financial statements to apply the Groups accounting policies when preparing the consolidated financial statements. An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the Group holds a long-term interest and where the Group has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate. The results of associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Any subsidiary undertakings or associates sold or acquired during the year are included up to, or from, the dates of change of control or change of significant influence respectively. Where control of a subsidiary is lost, the gain or loss, is recognised in the consolidated income statement. The cumulative amounts of any exchange differences on translation, recognised in equity, are not included in the gain or loss on disposal and are transferred to retained earnings. The gain or loss on disposal includes amounts included in other comprehensive income that are required to be reclassified to profit or loss but excludes those amounts that are not required to be reclassified. Where control of a subsidiary is achieved in stages, the initial acquisition that gave control is accounted for as a business combination. Thereafter where the Group increases its controlling interest in the subsidiary the transaction is treated as a transaction between equity holders. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity. No changes are made to the carrying value of assets, liabilities or provisions for contingent liabilities. All intra-Group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. Adjustments are made to eliminate the profit or loss arising on consolidation. Adjustments are made to eliminate the profit or loss arising on transactions with associates to the extent of the Group's interests in the entity. A demerger occurred of the group historically and as a result of the reconstruction, the group financial statements are completed using merger accounting for the members included at the time of the reconstruction. Uniform accounting policies have been used throughout the group. The parent company has applied the exemption contained in section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not included its individual statement of comprehensive income.
Non-controlling interests
Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity. Minority interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
The proportions of profit or loss and changes in equity allocated to the owners of the parent and to the minority interests are determined on the basis of existing ownership interests and do not reflect the possible exercise or conversion of options or convertible instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with bank, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts, when applicable, are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Revenue recognition
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax.
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of property is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. This is usually on exchange of contracts.
Construction contracts
When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract costs and turnover are recognised by reference to the stage of completion at the balance sheet date. Stage of completion is measured by reference to date of sale.
Where the outcome cannot be measured reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred and contract turnover is recognised to the extent of costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.
When it is probable that contract costs will exceed the total contract turnover, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately, with a corresponding provision.
Rendering of services
When the outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably, turnover from pipework fabrications and structural steelwork is recognised by reference to the stage of completion at the balance sheet date. Stage of completion is measured by reference to uncertified applications and afterdate sales.
Where the outcome cannot be measured reliably, turnover is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.
When it is probable that costs will exceed the total turnover, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately, with a corresponding provision.
Interest and dividends receivable
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised as the company's right to receive payment is established.
Research & development
Research expenditure is written off against profits in the year in which it is incurred. Identifiable development expenditure is capitalised to the extent that the technical, commercial and financial feasibility can be demonstrated.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below (i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 13 for the carrying amount of the property plant and equipment, and the depreciation accounting policy for the useful economic lives for each class of assets. (ii) Stock provision The group conducts electrical and mechanical installation and maintenance together with building fabric installation and maintenance. As a result it is necessary to consider the recoverability of the cost of stock and the associated provisioning required. When calculating the stock provision, management considers the nature and condition of the stock, as well as applying assumptions around anticipated saleability. (iii) Impairment of debtors and investments The group makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors and investments. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors and investments, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. See related notes for the net carrying amount of the debtors and associated impairment provision. (iv) Provisions Estimates are used in determining the value of provisions when recognised. This will be based on historical information, known expectations and reasonable outcomes. (v) Going concern The assessment of going concern may include the use of critical judgements in respect of impact of various external factors such as political, economic and social issues. Material uncertainties are considered in this regard. (vi) Research & Development Research expenditure is written off against profits in the year in which it is incurred. Identifiable development expenditure is capitalised to the extent that the technical, commercial and financial feasibility can be demonstrated (vii) Work in progress & accrued income Recognition of turnover and profit is based on judgements made in respect of the ultimate profitability of a contract. Such judgements are arrived at through the use of estimates in relation to costs and value of work performed to date and to be performed in bringing contracts to completion, including satisfaction of maintenance responsibilities. These estimates are made by reference to recovery of pre-contract costs, surveys of progress against the construction programme, changes in work scope, the contractual terms under which the work is being performed including the recoverability of any unagreed income from variations on the likely outcome of discussions on claims, costs incurred and external certification of the work performed. The company has the appropriate control procedures to ensure all estimates are determined on a consistent basis and subject to appropriate review and authorization.
Tax
Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences. Deferred tax on revalued non-depreciable tangible fixed assets and investment properties is measured using the rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset.
Operating leases
Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in equity in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in equity in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Short leasehold property
-
20% straight line
Plant and machinery
-
25% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
-
33% straight line
Motor vehicles
-
25% reducing balance
Equipment
-
25 % reducing balance
Investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value through profit or loss if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
Stock and work in progress
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. Work in progress on long term contracts is valued at selling price in line with FRS102 and is included as accrued income in debtors. All other work in progress is measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the work in progress to its present location and condition.
Finance leases and hire purchase contracts
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised using the accrual model. Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Financial instruments
The group has chosen to adopt the Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. Financial assets Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances and investments in commercial paper, are initially recognised at transaction price, 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. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. 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. 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 are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. Financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre- payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. Preference shares, which result in fixed returns to the holder or are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities. The dividends on these preference shares are recognised in the profit and loss account as interest expense. Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts 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 payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or income as appropriate. The company does not currently apply hedge accounting for interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and 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.
Employee benefits
When employees have rendered service to the company, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. The company operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.
