NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
CSL Global Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered office address is Suite 3, Ground Floor Corum Two, Corum Office Park, Crown Way, Warmley, Bristol, England, BS30 8FJ.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
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 disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The results shown in these accounts are those of the UK company and its overseas branches.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The financial statements are presented in pound sterling, which is also the functional currency of the Company.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared as a going concern.
The Company has advanced funds to its parent company CSL Group Limited which total £3,352,357 at 31 December 2025 (2024 - £3,173,118). A reorganisation and impairment has taken place over several years. Hence the Company is now the main trading entity of the Group with the remaining overseas businesses trading as branches of the Company.
The directors believe that benefits of the reorganisation will ensure that these businesses will trade successfully in the future. However it is not possible to assess the timescale for the recovery of the amount advanced to the parent company. No provision has been made for any permanent diminution in the value of this asset in the Company’s balance sheet.
The directors have considered relevant information, including the annual budget, forecast future cash flows and the impact of subsequent events in making their assessment.
The business has been affected by the imposition of economic sanctions against Russia following the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Work being conducted by the Company on certain project contracts with Russian interests has been indefinitely suspended in accordance with the UK’s Russian sanctions regulations.
Relevant contract values were $1.8m, of which $1.1m was invoiced by 31st December 2021.
The policy adopted by the Company is to recognise the affected contract revenue to which it is legally entitled up to the effective date of the Russian sanctions regulations and to account for costs incurred associated with this income.

|
|
Going concern (continued)
|
At 31st December 2025, the Company is in a positive net asset position but it is reliant upon the continuing support of the shareholders of its parent company. The directors have received assurances from its parent company that its shareholders will continue to support the group's activities for the foreseeable future.
Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty and that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
|
|
|
Foreign currency translation
|
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.
Fees issued in respect of contracts are recognised as the contract activity progresses to the extent that it is considered recoverable. Where sales invoices are raised in advance of the contract commencing then a proportion of the fee and related costs are deferred and recognised in line with the project activity.
Turnover in respect of Technical Services and Claims are recognised when the contract work has been completed.
|
|
|
Operating leases: the company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
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.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Defined contribution pension plan
The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company 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 company in independently administered funds.
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 income 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 operates and generates income.
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, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
|
|
|
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's Balance Sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
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.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Basic financial liabilities
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 the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

|
Financial instruments (continued)
|
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

|
Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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. Revision to the accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revisions affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key assumptions have been made regarding the stage of completion of projects when calculating deferred income and accrued subcontractors costs.
The directors have reviewed FRS 102 and agreed that interest at a rate of 7.5% will be charged on loans after more than one year.

Also included within other creditors is £991,610 (2024 - £435,585) in respect of other loans received. These loans are repayable on demand and interest is payable at 5% per annum; however, this interest was waived in the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024.
