Strategic Report
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2026.
Review of the Business
For the year ending 31st March 2026, the company exceeded its expectations. Operating profit significantly increased to £1,089,760 (2025: £147,231). This significant improvement was down to strong business trading as seen by the 10% increase in revenues to £8,883,338 (2025: £8,100,578). This resulted in Net Profit contribution of £638,141, compared to last year’s net profit of £1,290,548, however, last year’s performance was helped by one-off exceptional item of £1,544,860. This strong performance has increased overall Net Assets to £1,549,612 (2025: £911,471).
The increase in trading saw net current liability increase from £3.4m to £4.0m which was justified by the increase in rental stock to £3,770,033 (2025: £2,875,323). £451,619 was paid in interest and finance charges throughout the year, a similar amount to the £401,543 paid in 2025, but since this was against increased borrowings it demonstrates better funding rates secured.
We hold a good quality of debtors, with a history of minimal bad debt. The balance sheet contains over £1M of deferred revenues forward billed to the coming year providing a good foundation to achieve the planned revenues for FY27. Cash flows are underpinned by the rental stock, which is readily saleable, and we can quickly sell under-utilised stock to refresh the rental fleet should the need arise, providing the company with a strong liquidity profile. 
Our asset management system (RMS) is one of the most sophisticated systems in the marketplace which we are proud to own and continually develop. Whilst this asset sits as a £2,592,913 intangible asset on the balance sheet, we class this as a tangible asset with real demonstrative value that is sold into our customer base on a regular basis. We are planning to invest a further £500,000 this financial year to develop further the systems online presence assisted by AI, which puts us ahead of all our competition in the UK and Europe.
Outlook for 2027
The current financial year has started extremely strongly and even with the current economic uncertainties and Global political unrest, which presents us with additional rental opportunities to give the market time to adjust. The business can already see us exceeding our FY26 performance by 10% aided by significant contract wins. Whilst the Technology Rental Business is proven in thriving in these times, new technology in the market driven by AI along with the environmental and circular sustainability benefits of renting over purchase has also presented the business with new revenue opportunities.
We are actively looking for small acquisitions to complement the rental business. 
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
Cash flow risk
The company recognises a small exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements and any exposure is taken against profit and loss account.
Credit risk
The company also recognises a credit risk primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. The company is not dependant on one single customer.
Liquidity risk
The directors consider that it has sufficient resources available to support the Company for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts.

Key Performance Indicators
The key performance indicators used by the company when monitoring performance are:
- rental revenues
- rental stock utilisation
- gross margins on sale of kit
Revenue
The company measures rental revenue performance against prior periods with a view to achieving an increase of at least 5% per annum. During the current year, the rental turnover increased by over 10% on the prior year. The company benefited from new revenue streams following its relationship with Bell Microsystems. We expect this to continue into following years. 
Rental stock utilisation
Rental stock utilisation is the proportion of time that assets spend on rent at customers. The company targets utilisation of at least 50%. In the period, the company achieved an average utilisation of 48.8% (2025: 48.8%). There are many under-utilised assets depressing the overall result. This is reflected in additional stock provision taken in the year, which will support the disposal of under-utilised assets. 
Gross margin
The company aims to make a profit on the sale on ex-rental assets at the point that they are sold. This is an important check on the carrying values of the rental assets. The margin on the sale of ex-rental assets in the period was 19% (2025: 19%) which indicates the carrying values remain good.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report 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, comprising FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', 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 the financial statements the directors are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
  • state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS102, 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 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.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement of Disclosure of Information to Auditors
In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors' Report is approved: 
  • so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and
  • they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Hamilton Rentals Limited for the year ended 31 March 2026 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes of Equity, Cash Flow Statement 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
In our opinion the financial statements:
  • give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2026 and of its profit/(loss) 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 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 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 entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 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 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 contained within the annual report. 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • 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 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 or 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 set out on page 3—4, 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
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 an auditor's report 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 designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, 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.
Procedures performed by the audit team included:
- Discussions with management regarding known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
- Evaluation of controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; and
- Assessing journals entries as part of our planned audit approach.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above 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 would become aware of it.
As in all of our audits we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
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 that 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
1. General Information
Hamilton Rentals Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 01041096 . The registered office is Saxon House, Oaklands Park, Wokingham, RG41 2FD.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and 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 presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
Accounts are rounded to the nearest pound.
These accounts represent the company as an individual entity.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Having prepared and reviewed detailed financial projections, the directors believe this to be appropriate as they believe that the company has access to sufficient working capital in order to meet the financial obligations of the company as they fall due.
In reaching their conclusion, the directors have considered the current economic environment and the continued support from the company's ultimate parent company. The rental fleet remains of sufficient value to create additional working capital should this be required by the business.
The ultimate parent company, Hamilton Management (London) Limited, has confirmed it is able and intends to continue to support the company to ensure that it can meet its liabilities as they fall due, for a period of at least one year from the signing of these financial statements.
2.3. Significant judgements and estimations
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with FRS 102, management is required to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
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.
2.4. Turnover
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Sale of goods
Revenue from equipment sales is recognised on delivery of the equipment.
Rendering of services
Revenue from equipment rental, software support and hardware maintenance is recognised over the term of the agreement on a straight line basis. Any unrecognised revenue element is shown separately in the balance sheet notes as deferred income. For certain rental equipment arrangements, the company received a discount against the purchase of products from the suppliers of this rental equipment. For these arrangements, revenue is equal to the discount received by the company which is recognised over the term of the rental agreement.
2.5. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Other Intangible
Included in intangible assets is the RMS software. It is amortised to the profit and loss account over its estimated economic life of 10 years.
Page 13
Page 14
2.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight line method.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:
Rental Equipment Software: 12 months, Other: 60 months
Fixtures & Fittings 48 months
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 amounts and are recongised in the Profit and Loss account.
2.7. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.
2.8. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more that 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
2.9. Foreign Currencies
Functional and presentation currency
The company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting for the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash
flow hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'other operating income'.
2.10. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
2.11. Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds to the associated capital instrument.
