| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 January 2026 |
| The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 January 2026. |
| . |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| Cawarden has increased revenue levels in both its Demolition and Civils teams increasing revenues by £7.75m and doubling pre-tax profit levels to £507,393. This was achieved in a year where the construction sector returned to real output growth of 1.1%. |
| The company has also continued to develop strong relationships with blue chip Developers, Construction businesses, Local Authorities and larger commercial organisations in the retail and waste management sectors. In addition, the company has continued to widen its presence geographically and now operates nationally within the United Kingdom. A significant element of this work has been on public sector non-residential and infrastructure, industrial construction and commercial sectors. These areas have significantly outperformed residential and housing. |
| Quality, Adherence to Regulations, Management of Risk and operating a well-maintained Vehicle and Plant & Machinery fleet are key to the company's success and growth and the company continued to invest in these during the year to 31 January 2026. |
| In the first five months of the current financial year revenues have grown in comparison to the previous year at £10.1m along with an increase in profitability. As with the year to 31 January 2026 the company is continuing to develop its relationships with its customer base in both the private and public sector, as well as increasing investment in excess of the levels of investment in 2026. The directors consider this to be key, in order to sustain growth and continue building a robust business to meet the ongoing challenges in the construction sector. |
| Since the year-end the company has moved to its Castle Donnington site, which includes new offices and a redevelopment of its maintenance area. This has enabled the company to operate from a larger single developed site at Castle Donnington, and the directors expect this to provide efficiencies and costs savings of a tangible and intangible nature. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| Key risks to the business identified are: |
| " Increases in both material and labour prices |
| " Increases in employment costs |
| " Environmental and Health & Safety Risks associated with demolition and ground works site including regulations in connection with waste transfer and disposal, as well as the regulation of the labour market including the right to work |
| " Recruiting and retaining a good team across all its operations |
| " Uncertainties of economic nature, particularly those effecting the construction sector such as labour markets and interest rates |
| Cawarden continues to assess risk on an on-going basis as well as improve processes, systems and education of its team to better manage these risks and to deal with the increased reporting necessary around business waste and consumption, particularly reporting to government departments. The company is continuing to increase investment in training to achieve goals and manage risks using both internal and external training and has a team dedicated to training and development of its team. |

| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 January 2026 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 January 2026. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of demolition and enabling contractors. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 January 2026. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 February 2025 to the date of this report. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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; |
| - | 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. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Tomkinson Teal (Lichfield) LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Cawarden Co. Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Cawarden Co. Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 January 2026 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, 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 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 January 2026 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 Auditors' 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| 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 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 Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Cawarden Co. Limited |
| 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 Report of the Directors. |
| 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 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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. |
| Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors 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. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design audit procedures in line with our responsibilities to detect material misstatements arising from irregularities, including fraud. |
| The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than for one arising from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment, including collusion or misrepresentation. There are inherent limitations in an audit, and the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely it is that it will be detected. |
| As part of our audit, we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and considered the risks of material misstatement arising from non-compliance. We discussed these risks within the engagement team and designed audit procedures accordingly. |
| Our procedures included enquiries of management and those charged with governance, review of relevant documentation, and testing of transactions where appropriate. We also addressed the risk of management override of controls by reviewing journal entries and accounting estimates for indicators of bias. |
| We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Cawarden Co. Limited |
| 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 a Report of the Auditors 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 |
| for the Year Ended 31 January 2026 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Cawarden Co. Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
| 3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Going concern |
| The directors have considered going concern in preparing these financial statements through review of the company's financial position. It has been considered that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the going concern basis of accounting has been adopted, and no material uncertainties have been identified. |
| Revenue from contracts with customers |
| The Company earns revenue from the provision of services relating to construction contracts. The Company enters into a number of construction contracts, to complete various projects. Contracts usually commence and complete within one financial period and are generally fixed price. |
| The Company typically recognises revenue within its construction contract businesses over time, as it performs its obligations. Management believe this best reflects the transfer of control to the customer by providing a faithful depiction of primarily the enhancement of a customer controlled asset or the construction of an asset with no alternative use. The method used is determined in accordance with the contract type and are based on either the input or output method depending on the specific contractual arrangements and in accordance with IFRS 15. In the event that the recoverability of the contract income is uncertain or is dependent on the outcome of certain events, relevant contract provisions would be made accordingly. In all of the Company's construction contract arrangements the Company has an enforceable right to payment for work and performance obligations completed to date. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises 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. |
| Stocks held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of cost and replacement cost, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential. |
| At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in the profit or loss. |

| Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
| for the Year Ended 31 January 2026 |
| 3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| 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. |
| Research and development |
| Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
| The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Grants |
| Grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received. |
| A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability. |
| 4. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
| In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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 if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| The Directors believe that there are no accounting policies that are critical due to the degree of estimation required and/or the potential material impact they may have on the Company's financial position and performance. There are no areas of judgement or matters of estimation of uncertainty that may result in a material adjustment and therefore require disclosure in these financial statements. |
