GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
For The Period 1 November 2023 to 27 April 2025



COMPANY OVERVIEW
Our Business
NMS is an EPC+F contractor involved in the international supply of infrastructure, equipment and services for governments.

The principal activity of the Group is centred on project development, management and delivery of sustainable social infrastructure projects in sub-Saharan Africa. The current business being conducted through its regional branches is the design, construction, equipping and support of a range of health facilities for the Governments of Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Our Key Differentiators
We have developed a signature style that combines collaborative working practices with a commitment to delivery of the best quality, service and experience.

We strive to be the best in our fields of activity by embracing open-mindedness and pragmatism to foster innovation and novel ways of responding to challenges. By combining expertise, rigour, responsibility and commitment NMS has become one of the leading players in its field.

The Group's commitment to achieving the highest Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards is underlined by the adoption of policies governing the environment and biodiversity, stakeholder interests, respect of local communities and human rights, business ethics and prevention of corruption, data protection, product quality and health and safety. To support its commitment to the environment and climate change, the company has initiated a programme to offset its carbon footprint.

Our Growth Strategy
o Focus on Sub-Saharan Africa - our efforts are focused on building our business in our primary market.
o Secure follow-on business - by delivering high quality outputs we aim to secure repeat business.
o Expand sector coverage - a broader sector range will help us develop new business.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
i) Payment: the Group's receipts are principally received direct from lending institutions in the UK, on instruction from the customer. While this reduces payment risk, the administrative challenges in receiving funds can be time consuming;

ii) Currency: the Group's receipts are denominated in US Dollars and Euros, giving rise to potential exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between Sterling and local currencies, which are actively monitored. The company aims to match where possible the contract currency income with supply-side obligations to mitigate exposure to such fluctuations. In addition the Group has entered into a number of forward sale contracts which provide certainty over a proportion of the Group's anticipated Sterling obligations.

iii) Political: while the Group's business is exposed to a degree of political risk, these are considered normal given the current stage in the political cycles of its countries of interest. It should be noted that project finance is insured against the possible effects of political risk;

iv) Local economy: government response measures to the global pandemic created some uncertainty in local economies which may affect availability of supplies of raw materials and services in the local construction industry however, given the mitigation measures adopted by the Group, these are deemed to be of limited lasting impact on future performance;


NMS INTERNATIONAL GROUP LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06360525)

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
For The Period 1 November 2023 to 27 April 2025


v) Health: the year was largely free of negative public health impacts. Detailed operational health guidelines are in issue and are subject to constant monitoring, with operational adjustments made as required in line with government and other advice. The Group's operations are not presently unaffected by any material abnormal public health risks and we continue to keep the general situation under constant surveillance;

vi) Timing: the timing of financial close in respect of new projects, at which point a project becomes effective, is unpredictable and presents the Group with a challenging environment in which to plan and forecast. The careful selection, pricing and delivery of the projects it accepts is constantly monitored.

vii) Contracts: The Group's projects are large and complex, requiring multi-site construction, often in challenging and demanding environments. Substantial upfront costs have been incurred in mobilising project management, delivery and construction operations into country, as well as developing local construction methodology and certifications and these are not recovered on contracts. The Group faces numerous challenges when designing and implementing solutions into its chosen markets which often demand innovative and creative approaches to problem solving, particularly in respect of environmental issues in order to satisfy lender requirements, which requires significant research and development effort. There are significant timing differences in relation to the point at which costs are incurred and revenue earned. Significant amounts are held in Amounts Recoverable on Contract on the balance sheet at 30 April 2025, which will, in the opinion of the directors, be recovered over the life of the underlying projects.

RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE

Financial Performance
2025 was a period of significant challenge. The results of the group show an operating loss before tax of £5,037,211 (2023: operating profit before tax of £4,344,391) on sales of £67,904,244 (2023: £159,154,915). Company shareholders' funds total £8,486,388 (2023: £14,279,266).

In late 2024 the Group made the difficult decision to unilaterally terminate its contract with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire as a result of late and non-payment and the failure of the Ministry of Health to maintain the availability of the UK Export Finance loan; this was despite extensive attempts on the Group's part to engage with the Ministry of Health to resolve matters. The consequences of late and non-payment to the Group were unsustainable and termination the only viable course of action in order to protect the Group's position.

At termination the Group had delivered one of the six hospitals, and a further 5 were in various advanced states of construction. Following termination the Group has followed the contractual process and issued final accounts to the Ministry of Health. As a result historic balances held in the balance sheet in relation to this project have been written off resulting in an extraordinary charge to profit of £37,020,104, and the final account balances have been reflected in the balance sheet as at 30 April 2025. In addition the Group has recognised other operating income of £9,322,511 in respect of its claim for costs and damages in accordance with the contract.This has had a hugely negative impact on the business during the reporting period.

The Group is now in the process of engaging with the contractual arbitration procedure as set out in the contract and is confident of a positive outcome in due course.

The Group continues to operate without external bank debt.

Operational Progress
The Group made steady progress during the year:

Ghana - the $175 million project has been fully completed with the final handover of 7 multi-storey accommodation blocks at the Takoradi European Hospital and the 2 remaining 120-bed District Hospitals at Fomena and Kumawu. The Group's $45m contract for the completion of the Abetife hospital awaits funding.

Zambia - the $300 million project for the design, construction and equipping of 5 x 80-bed District Hospitals and 115 Mini Hospitals was complete with the delivery of 111 Mini Hospitals and 5 District Hospitals; there remain a further 4 Mini Hospitals that may be delivered subject to availability of funding.


NMS INTERNATIONAL GROUP LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06360525)

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
For The Period 1 November 2023 to 27 April 2025

A second contract for $427m was signed in August 2024 with the Ministry of Health, Republic of Zambia, for the design, construction and equipping of 5 x 80-bed District Hospitals and 120 Mini Hospitals. This project is being funded directly by the Ministry of Health and initial work commenced in Autumn 2025.

Cote d'Ivoire - as referred to above, the €326 million project for the design, construction and equipping of 6 regional hospitals was terminated in late 2024.

Zimbabwe - the $210 million project for the design, construction and equipping of 30 health centres and 3 district hospitals has progressed in line with the provision of initial tranches of funding. The first 4 health centres have been completed, including the first two in the key locations of Stoneridge, Harare and Cowdray Park, Bulawayo. The next 4 sites are at varying stages of execution.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
2025 has been a challenging period as the Group continued to progress multi-site delivery in four countries. The Ghana project was completed; in Zambia the District Hospital delivery phase has commenced and in Zimbabwe delivery of health centres has progressed in line with available funding. Common to all the projects have been acclamations of the quality of the workmanship. These developments have resulted in a marked increase in activity which is reflected in the financial results for the period, tempered by the historic costs associated with completions in Ghana and development of new business opportunities.

The focus of the Group's business development activity during the period under review was the progression of new pipeline prospects and the securing of follow-on business with existing customers. A number of projects are expected to come to fruition in the current financial period and are expected to underpin growth prospects for the business well into the future.

The Group is actively involved in seeking to deliver projects which meet benchmark ESG criteria and has developed a set of standards for its operations to maintain the highest standards and enable ESG compliant funding to become more accessible.

OUTLOOK
The strategic progress and operational momentum of the last two years have required NMS to structure itself into a different business. We have a clear growth strategy, focused on growth in our core Sub-Saharan Africa market, by leverage of existing customer relationships and expansion into new markets and sectors.

After several years of rapid growth, 2026 is a year of consolidation, as we commence new projects and bring pipeline projects to contract. Our proprietary offering, combined with a pipeline of new projects, will ensure NMS is in a strong position to grow over the medium term and we remain excited about the opportunities ahead.

STRATEGY
The Group's success is dependent on the judicious selection, pricing and delivery of the projects it accepts, and the rate at which it seeks to grow. It is focused on sustainable projects in Sub-Saharan Africa in the $100-$300 million range, primarily in the following sectors:
- Healthcare
- Agriculture
- Education
- Renewable energy
- Water and wastewater management

The Group will continue to consolidate its position by concentrating its efforts in the delivery of national social infrastructure, particularly in its chosen market sectors.

The Group aims to improve efficiency in all areas of operations through cost optimisation; disciplined procurement and effective management. The Group continues its focus on shaping organisational structure for operational effectiveness.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
For The Period 1 November 2023 to 27 April 2025

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Continuing progress has been made in relation to key elements of Group strategy throughout the year. The Board continuously monitors progress by reference to KPIs, principally relating to short and medium-term liquidity, cash flow, working capital requirements, value of work completed and a range of extra-financial performance measures relating to ESG criteria.

POST BALANCE SHEET EVENT
Subsequent to the end of the financial period the UK Export Finance loan, arranged to fund the Group's a €175 million contract with the Government of Uganda for the Financing Agricultural Production, Quality and Standards for Market Access Facilities project, was signed and initial customer funding received in January and September 2026, it is anticipated that the UK Export Finance loan with be effective by the end of December 2026, once the government of Uganda have paid the full 5% Advance Payment. In addition the first modest tranche of funding for the Group's $427m follow-on work on the hospital building projects in Zambia was received enabling initial work to commence.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The Group expects to mobilise on its Uganda project once financial effectiveness is achieved in October 2026, and that delivery of the follow-on Zambia project will accelerate in 2026. Furthermore the Group looks forward to bringing a number of pipeline projects to contract and financial effectiveness.

The Group has continued to expand its coverage in Sub-Saharan Africa and has a substantial pipeline of prospective infrastructure projects. These opportunities are carefully considered and continuously reassessed to ensure that the resources required to pursue them are aligned to those prospects with the greatest probability of success in securing funding, contract signature and subsequent delivery.

The Group actively continues to prospect for appropriate projects meeting its criteria.

Quantification and reporting methodology
- HM Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines: Including streamlined energy and carbon reporting guidance March 2019 (SECR Guidance, 2019)
- 2024 Government Greenhouse Gas Conversion Factors for Company Reporting
- Greenhouse Gas Protocol: Quantitative Inventory Uncertainty October 2022

* Refrigerant losses were recorded and emissions measured for the first time during the FY2025.
The calculation methodology for 'fuel consumed for transport not owned by the company' changed between the 2023-2025 reporting years. As advised by the SECR Guidance (2019), page 46, the corrected figures have been presented for the 2023 year with the previously reported figure alongside in brackets. The adjusted figures for all other emissions figures affected by this change are also provided.

Intensity measurement
The chosen intensity measurement ratio is total gross emissions in metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) per full time employee as recommended for the sector.

Measures taken to improve energy efficiency
- Continuous improvement in Greenhouse Gas accounting processes, including the voluntary capture of Scope 3 emissions. Increase in areas of the UK business covered by the carbon accounting process, with the 2025 process including 100% (FY 2023: 89%) of all applicable UK Government provided conversion factors (areas of business activity for which attributable tCO2e emissions can be calculated).

- The ongoing reduction in the London office of the use of gas in favour of an electrical heating system led to a 46% reduction in overall gas consumption for 2025 (447 kWh) compared to FY 2023 (825 kWh). Electrification is a low carbon long term investment as the national electricity grid decarbonises over time.

- The use of modern communications technology, in particular video conferencing, is reducing the requirement for employee travel both within the UK and abroad. Emissions associated with air travel fell by 36% for the 2024 year (289 tCO2e) compared to the previous year (FY 2023: 452 tCO2e). This is particularly relevant as air travel represents a high proportion of the calculated NMSI GHG emissions.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
For The Period 1 November 2023 to 27 April 2025

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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 group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, TC Group, Statutory Auditor, 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
NMS INTERNATIONAL GROUP LTD


Disclaimer of Opinion

We were engaged to audit the financial statements of NMS International Group Limited (the 'parent
company') and its subsidiaries ('the group') for the period year ended 27 April 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

We do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements of NMS International Group Limited.. Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these financial statements.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
The audit evidence available to us was limited in relation to a construction contract that was terminated in the year, and the subsequent claim. Following cancellation, contract trading balances were released to the Consolidated Income Statement in the period resulting in a net reduction to profit of £37,020,104. The Group has subsequently included Other income of £9,332,511 for a corresponding damages claim against the customer which is included within Amounts recoverable on contract of £20,346,369, being the amount the Group is due from the customer. Where this matter is subject to ongoing arbitration proceedings, there is uncertainty in respect of the timing and recovery of these amounts as at the reporting date. In addition the Group has included within Other creditors an amount of £1,886,218 on the contract where the terms and circumstances surrounding the termination, including whether any amount remains payable in respect of the contract, are currently unclear. Furthermore we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in relation to the management charge of £4,343,782 as supporting documentation was not available. As a result of this, we have been unable to carry out adequate audit procedures to obtain sufficient, appropriate audit evidence regarding several amounts in the Balance sheet and the subsequent loss recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. This amount has been included in the overall reduction to profit as above.

The audit evidence available to us was limited in relation to a Subsidiary of the Group, NMS Infrastructure-Cote D'Ivoire SA, for which no financial information was available for the year ended 27 April 2025. During the year, an amount of £2,951,021, representing the subsidiary's retained earnings as at 1 November 2023, was written off to reflect the disposal of the subsidiary. However, no supporting documentation was available to substantiate this balance or the resulting adjustment. Consequently, we were unable to perform sufficient audit procedures to obtain adequate and appropriate audit evidence regarding the carrying values of related balances within the Balance Sheet and the loss recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement arising from the write-off. Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts might have been necessary. This balance has been included in the overall reduction to profit as above.

The audit evidence available to us was limited in relation to a number of historical contract trading balances that were released to the Consolidated Income Statement in the prior year, resulting in a net reduction to profit of £2,366,905. As a result of this, we have been unable to carry out adequate audit procedures to obtain sufficient, appropriate audit evidence regarding Retained earnings as at 1 November 2023.

Due to the significance of the matters described above, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly we do not express an opinion on the financial statements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NMS INTERNATIONAL GROUP LTD


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
Because of the significance of the matter described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we have been unable to form an opinion, whether based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
o the information given in the strategic report and directors' report for the financial year for which the
financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
o the strategic report and 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 Report of the Directors.

Notwithstanding our disclaimer of an opinion on the financial statements, in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit performed subject to the pervasive limitation described above, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report.

Arising from the limitation of our work referred to above:
o we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and
o we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept.

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:
o returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
o the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
o certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
o the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the
small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the directors' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page nine, 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 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 directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NMS INTERNATIONAL GROUP LTD


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.

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 and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company and determined that the most significant frameworks which are directly relevant so specific assertions in the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting framework (UK GAAP and the Companies Act 2006) and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK.

- We understood how the company is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures. We corroborated our enquiries through review of board minutes and discussions with those charged with governance.

- We assess the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by discussion with management from various parts of the business to understand where they considered there was a susceptibility to fraud. We considered the procedures and controls that the company has established to prevent and detect fraud, and how these are monitored by management, and also any enhanced risk factors such as performance targets.

- Based on our understanding, we designed our audit procedures to identify any non-compliance with laws and regulations identified in the paragraphs above.

- We also performed audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.

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.

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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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 Group's accounting policies (see note 3).

Functional and presentational currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP and rounded to the nearest pound.

Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Certain judgements have been applied in reaching this conclusion and are, in the opinion of the directors, adequate based on their knowledge of the business and the industry.

The directors have given due consideration to the current status of the contracts undertaken by the group, including those balances relating to historical contract work. This includes both quantitative and qualitative factors in relation to both the ongoing work and work which has been completed in respect of previous periods.

As at the point of authorising the accounts, and for the foreseeable future, the directors consider the going concern assumption to still be appropriate. The directors acknowledge that given the rapidly changing business and social environment, there are likely to be significant unknown factors which may present themselves. Such factors are considered by the directors to represent a general inherent level of risk in relation to the going concern assumption albeit not quantifiable at this time. Based on this information, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies have been eliminated in full.

The results of the associates are included under the equity method of accounting, recognised at transaction price and subsequently adjusted to reflect the investors share of the profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity of associate.

Parent company disclosure exemptions
- No cash flow statement has been presented for the parent company;
- Disclosures in respect of the parent company's financial instruments have not been presented as
equivalent disclosures have been provided in respect of the group as a whole.
- No disclosure has been given of the key management personnel of the parent company as their
remuneration is included in the totals for the group as a whole; and
- Only one reconciliation of the number of shares outstanding at the beginning and end of the period
has been presented as the reconciliation's for the group and the parent company would be identical.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.

Revenue from contracts for the provision of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion when the stage of completion, costs incurred and costs to complete can be estimated reliably. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that it is probable will be recovered.

Construction contracts
Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting date.

The percentage of completion method is used to determine the appropriate amount to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date compared to the estimated total contract costs. Turnover is recognised based upon the directors best assessment of the proportion of contract completion. This is recognised with reference to separately identifiable phases (milestones) of the contract.

Where turnover is recognised by reference to stage of completion, but un-invoiced, work on contracts in progress is recorded as 'Amounts recoverable on contracts' within debtors. Management include build parts not yet used and equipment not yet installed within amounts recoverable on contract.

Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion. These costs are presented as prepayments or other assets depending on their nature, and provided it is probable they will be recovered. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included within the assessment of stage of completion to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract turnover, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are initially stated at cost and subsequently carried at 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.

The group adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated
residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

Construction equipment - Straight line over 3 years
Fixtures and fittings - Straight line over 5 to 20 years
Motor vehicles - Straight line over 3 years
Computer equipment - Straight line over 1 year

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 within 'administrative expenses' in the statement of income and retained earnings.

Investments in associates
Investments in subsidiary and associate undertakings are recognised at cost less any provision for impairment.

Taxation
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, 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 period 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.

Foreign currencies
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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

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

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

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

Financial instruments
Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances and investments, 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. Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances and investments, 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.

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) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, 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.

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans and loans from fellow Group companies, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

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.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

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. Financial liabilities and equity are classified according to the substance of the financial instrument's contractual obligations, rather than the financial instrument's legal form.

Complex financial instruments such as forward contracts and options are measured at fair value through the profit and loss account.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimate. The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Construction contracts
Construction contract turnover is recognised in line with the turnover accounting policy below. On the basis of an estimated final outcome of the project, turnover and costs are recognised over time during the duration of the project based on the stage of completion. In order to do this, the amount of project turnover and project expenses must be able to be reliably determined. This in turn requires that the Group has sufficient systems for calculation, forecasting and turnover / expense reporting. The method also requires the Group to maintain an assessment of the final outcome of the project, including analysis of deviations from earlier assessments. However, actual future project outcomes may deviate, either positively or negatively, from this assessment.

In relation to consultancy contract turnover the Group maintains an assessment of the final outcome of the project, including analysis of deviations from earlier assessments. An allowance for doubtful debts is established when there is evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. Actual future project outcomes may deviate, either positively or negatively, from this assessment.

Due to the uncertainty in timing of when elements of the contracts are completed, payments on accounts and amounts recoverable on contracts are therefore all recognised as due in less than 1 year.

The group deals with projects in countries overseas, largely in the continent of Africa, management closely monitor the economic and political situations in these nations. Any such factors identified are reflected in the accounting treatments and estimates within the financial statements.

The Provision for irrecoverable VAT represents the balance held from the Zambian contract. The debtor has contested that the VAT due was in relation to a period which is now unclaimable. Although the company will continue to attempt recovery they consider that as time has passed it is now more unlikely than so that the balance will be recovered.

Contract losses
Historic contract losses represents the net write down of all balances held on the balance sheet in respect of projects in Ghana following their confirmed completion of the project. These have been disclosed separately from Cost of sales for the reason they do not represent Operating losses in the year as the contract predates these financial statements.

The contract losses in the current year total £37,020,104 represents the net write down of costs incurred on the Cote d'Ivoire project that was terminated in the year, as such these have been presented within Operating profit/loss.
