| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| Key Performance Indicators: |
| 2026 | 2025 |
| £ | £ |
| Turnover | 11,686,788 | 15,201,912 |
| Gross Profit | 2,792,258 | 2,003,350 |
| Gross Profit Rate (% of turnover) | 23.9% | 1732% |
| Direct Labour (wages and sub-contractors) | 5,612,430 | 7,619,848 |
| Direct Labour Rate (% of turnover) | 48.2% | 50.1% |
| Indirect Wages (administration wages and directors remuneration) | 1,405,788 | 1,252,044 |
| Indirect Wages Rate (% of turnover) | 12.0% | 8.2% |
| The group has found itself involved in smaller contracts this year which has reduced turnover to £11.7m (2025 - £15.2m). These jobs have had improved margins, resulting in the gross profit rate increasing to 23.9% (2025 - 13.2%). |
| Increased costs for indirect wages, along with rent and insurance have led to annual overheads climbing to £1.9m (2025 - £1.7m). |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The groups directors are aware that the key business risk comes in the form of competition from both UK and international contractors, along with ensuring safe and to budget project delivery |
| . |
| High levels of investment in UK infrastructure continue the demand for the skilled labour market. |
| Cost of living continues to impact the labour market and material costs in the market. Where possible, these increases are passed onto the customers when tendering submissions. |
| Due to the nature of the work there will always be risks in respect of Health and Safety. Maybourne & Russell takes the safety and welfare of its employees and other persons who may be directly affected by activities arising out of its operations very seriously and is intent on complying with the requirements of Contractor Health and Safety. |

| DIRECTOR |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the director is 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 he 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, Waight & Company Ltd, 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 |
| MAYBOURNE & RUSSELL (TENTERDEN) LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Maybourne & Russell (Tenterden) Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2026 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 March 2026 and of the group's 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 group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| MAYBOURNE & RUSSELL (TENTERDEN) LIMITED |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Director. |
| 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of director |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page three, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
| In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| MAYBOURNE & RUSSELL (TENTERDEN) LIMITED |
| 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: |
| - We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience through discussion with the Officers and other management (as required by auditing standards). |
| - We had regard to laws and regulations in areas that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting and taxation legislation. |
| - We considered that extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. |
| - With the exception of any known or possible non-compliance, and as required by auditing standards, our work in respect of these was limited to enquiry of the Officers. |
| - We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
| - We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls, by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
| Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. |
| 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 |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the statement of financial position date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the period. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. |
| The following judgements had a significant effect in the amounts recognised in the financial statements: |
| Amounts recoverable on contracts |
| The stage of completion as noted in the turnover and amounts recoverable on contracts policies is subject to estimation and judgement. The directors makes use of the information available to them at the balance sheet date to formulate their calculation. This is implemented on a contract by contract basis. |
| Useful lives of property, plant and equipment |
| The estimate of useful lives of property, plant and equipment are based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimate useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodically and re-updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical obsolescence and legal or other limits on use of the relevant assets. In addition, the estimation of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are based on internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by the changes in the estimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the useful lives of property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded expenses and decrease the non-current assets. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax assets and liabilities require management judgement in determining the amounts, if any, to be recognised. Judgement is required in assessing the extent to which the assets and liabilities should be recognised, taking into account the expected timing and levels of future taxable income. Deferred tax assets are only recognised when management believes it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Turnover is based on the invoiced value of all goods despatched and services provided prior to the year end, excluding VAT and other sales-based discounts and net of trade discounts, and includes the proportion of the sales value of long term contracts relevant to the stage of completion. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition. |
| Investment property |
| Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when a company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are de-recognised when they are discharged or when the contractual terms expire. |
| Financial Assets |
| Financial assets comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, amounts recoverable on contracts and other receivables. The group classifies all of its financial assets as assets at amortised cost. Financial assets at amortised cost are initially recognised at fair value net of any transaction cost directly attributable to their acquisition, less any provision for impairment. |
| Financial Liabilities |
| Financial liabilities comprise trade payables and other payables. The group classifies all of its financial liabilities as liabilities at amortised cost. Financial liabilities at amortised cost are initially recognised at fair value net of any transaction cost directly attributable to the issue of the instrument. |
| Provisions |
| Provisions are recognised when a company has a present legal obligation as a result of a past event which it is probable will result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be reliably estimated. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of future outflows, discounted at a risk-free rate. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year 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 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. |

| 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. |
| Payments in respect of other post-retirement benefits are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Amounts recoverable on contracts |
| In respect of long-term contracts, the attributable profit is recognised once the final outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty and reflects the proportion of work completed to date on the project. Variations in contract work and claims are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable. Full provision is made for losses on any contract in the period the loss is first foreseen. |
| The difference between work done and invoices raised on a contract is recognised as amounts recoverable on contracts. Any excess payments on account over and above the value of work done are included within creditors. |
| Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Any bid costs or tender costs are expensed as incurred until the stage is reached when it is virtually certain that the contract will be won. Provisions for contract costs are made where they can be reliably measured against the proportion of works completed at the year end compared to the expected margins upon completion. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, including credit and debit transactions awaiting clearance into the bank account. |
