Strategic Report

Year ended 31 October 2025

Fair review of the business

The directors are pleased to report a profit after tax £455,351 (2024 - £525,169) Turnover has increased from £14,134,497 to £17,613,259 (increase of £3,478,762). The accounting period is made up of 13 four weekly periods, ending on the Sunday on or immediately prior to 31 October each year. For the year ending 31 October 2024, the accounting period was a 52 week year, for the year ending 31st October 2025 the accounting period was a 52 week year. Gross profit has increased to 23.5% in 2025 (22.5% in 2024) The directors made a decision in 2022 to upgrade the existing computer data platform and software systems, this took some 18 months to 2 years to complete. The directors also decided to expand the sales, marketing and operational management team. The company has consistently met the challenges during the year. Mainly by implementing up dated cleaning processes on client sites which have generated and continue to generate additional sales.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Risk is an inherent part of doing business. The company has a process for identifying, evaluating and managing the risks faced by the business. The Board has identified the following factors as principal potential risks to the successful operation of the business: Economic and market risks: The economic environment and competitor pricing position can affect the performance of the company's business. Through investment in quality management, staff and technology, the directors ensure that the business delivers value for customers. Pressure from the UK government with regards to the level of minimum wages impacts on the business, however we operate a transparent process triggered by any change in minimum wage that ensures these increased costs are recovered from customers. The opportunity is also taken to work with customers to identify cost savings areas that may mitigate the full impact of these cost pressures, whilst maintaining the company's profitability. Regulatory risk: The company's operations are subject to a broad spectrum of regulatory requirements, particularly in relation to employment and health and safety issues. The company takes responsibility for training, safety environment and quality and monitors regulatory developments and operates a strong compliance regime. Regular reviews are undertaken to ensure compliance and training needs are continually monitored and addressed as required. IT systems and infrastructure: The company operates an IT infrastructure accessible from both within and outside the business. This enables, the remote management team, employees and customers to exchange and update information. This system is a strong differentiating factor and has helped the company reduce costs and win business. The company has controls in place to maintain the integrity and efficiency of its systems, which are regularly updated and tested. Colleague engagement and retention: The company employs over 1000 people who are key to the success of the business. Good relations with the employees and investing in their training and development are essential to the efficiency and sustainability of the company's operations. The company's employment policies, remuneration and benefit packages are designed to be competitive with other companies, as well as providing employees with fulfilling career opportunities.

Development and performance

The company continues to expand its area of activities. This has resulted in it achieving profits again this year. It is the area of 'touch point sales' that has helped the company to sustain its profitability. After the end year the company was sold to Atlas FM Limited. Further to this on the 1st July 2026 the company ceased to trade. It was decided trade and assets would hive up to other group companies and therefore these accounts have been prepared on a break up basis.

KPIs feature throughout the group monthly management reports and meetings and cover such matters as performance levels agreed with clients, health and safety, communications efficiency, employee attendance, standards, failures and non-compliance etc (all aspects of the business).

Gender pay gap report

From April 2017 the UK government has introduced a requirement for all employees with more than 250 employees to publish their gender pay gap figures on an annual basis. The gender pay gap is defined as the difference between the mean or median hourly rate of pay that male and female colleagues receive expressed as a percentage of men's pay. The company has published their report which is available on their website. The directors are pleased to report that the results of the analysis confirm that the company's gender pay gap figures compare favourably against the national average. Diversity and inclusivity influence company policies and culture at all levels and there is no discrimination for any position for any reason, including race, religion, ethnic origin or gender. Pay awards and advancement within the company is not dependent on gender.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of In Depth Services (Cleaning) Limited

Year ended 31 October 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of In Depth Services (Cleaning) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 October 2025 which comprise the income statement, statement of financial position, statement of changes in equity, 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 company's affairs as at 31 October 2025 and of its 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 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 break up 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 however with the company ceasing to trade within 9 months of the year end the break up basis is the correct format of these financial statements.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Emphasis of matter

Break up basis We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements which explains that the directors chose to cease the company trading on 1st July 2026 and therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern as described in Note 1. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Contingencies We draw attention to Note 28 of the company financial statements, which describes an ongoing evaluation regarding the technical VAT treatment of two commercial contracts executed in the Republic of Ireland. As indicated in Note 28 an independent expert review is currently in progress to determine the definitive tax obligation however, the final outcome and any resulting financial exposure cannot be reliably estimated prior to the approval of these financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter

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. 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. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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.

Responsibilities of directors

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.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

- Review of directors' minutes and review of nominal postings for legal and professional fees ensured we identified any regulatory compliance issues and laws that company must follow in the year and to the date of signing the financial statements. - The assessment of fraud was considered as low due to the segregation of duties seen, the low levels of cash handled and the regular reporting required of the company to the Board. - A review of journal entries and consideration of their appropriateness was carried out through the audit. - During the audit we speak to management, test the systems and speak to various members of the finance function to understand the entity its processes and the nature of trade to assist in determining if the financial statements are true and fair. - Challenging assumptions made by management in making their significant accounting estimates. - Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. - Physical verification of fixed assets was carried out which aided us to assess for any potential impairment required.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 October 2025

1. General information

The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Riding Court House, Roding Court Road, Datchet, Slough, SL3 9JT.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

On 1st July 2026, the directors made the decision to cease all trading operations and all trade has been hived up into other group entities. Consequently, the financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a break-up basis. Under this basis, assets are recorded at their net realisable values, and long-term liabilities are reclassified as current liabilities because they are now due for settlement within 12 months The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. The financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1 .

Accounting periods

The accounting period is made up of 13 four weekly periods, ending on the Sunday on or immediately prior to 31 October each year. For the year ending 31 October 2024, the accounting period was a 52 week year, for the year ending 31st October 2025 the accounting period was a 52 week year.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of the 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 .

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. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, usually on despatch of the goods, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity, and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably. When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, revenue from the rendering of services is measured by reference to the stage of completion of the service transaction at the end of the reporting period. When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is recognised only to the extent that expenses recognised are recoverable. Revenue from the rendering of services is measured by reference to the stage of completion of the service transaction at the end of the reporting period provided that the outcome can be reliably estimated. When the outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is recognised only to the extent that it is probable the expenses recognised will be recovered.

Income tax

The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the profit and loss account.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on business acquisitions and represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the company's interest in the net amount of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. It is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Where a reliable estimate of the useful life of goodwill or intangible assets cannot be made, the life is presumed not to exceed ten years.

Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:

	Goodwill	-	10% straight line

If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.

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:

Fixtures and fittings	-	25% straight line
Motor vehicles	-	25% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned to those units .

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their 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.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense. Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period it arises.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
