STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

 
Introduction

The directors present the strategic report for the period ended 31 March 2025.

Fair review of the business

AT Jones & Son Limited (ATJ) is a specialist interior fit-out subcontractor, undertaking various trades including drylining, plastering, suspended ceilings, cladding, facades, and fire protection. We have extensive experience in offering design, planning and delivery of the ideal drywall systems to meet the requirements of complex projects.

As the Board sign off our March 2025 audited accounts, we reflect on another challenging year where our business has been impacted by multiple external factors both financially and operationally.

Over the past few years we have seen economic uncertainty created by Covid-19, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, inflationary pressures across both labour and materials and high inflation across world markets.

Having strategically undertaken an efficiency and streamlining programme as part of the longer-term consolidation of the business to get through this difficult period, we were further impacted by numerous anti-business decisions of the new Labour Government since they won the General Election in July 2024.

Again, the construction industry has faced the brunt and been through another extraordinary period that has impacted businesses at every level. Businesses within the industry continue to announce job losses or announce they are going into administration which further hits an already precarious supply chain.

Following the numerous changes in the previous period, 2025 has seen the first year of the streamlined, consolidated business and ATJ has met the majority of targets set at the start of the financial year.

The Board and Management continue to learn a lot and are in good shape operationally and financially. ATJ continues to maintain a clear focus across each of the chosen sectors, revenues have again demonstrated a strong resilience, underpinned by the very strong relationships with both long-standing and new clients.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

 
Performance Review

As planned, sales growth was not the focus as ATJ looked to consolidate their position in the market and remain both sustainable and robust. Although revenues for the year were lower, margins did improve.

The Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA) has also had an impact on sales in the period. 

While ATJ fully back the requirements for higher standards, safety, quality and accountability, the number of project delays has resulted in expected sales pushed into 2025/26 and beyond.

Pre-construction phases of jobs are taking longer but ATJ has a very strong pre-con team and are investing in this to ensure they are well placed to benefit from the anticipated improvements in the BSA approval process.

Despite these delays, ATJ has seen continued improvement from this across the financial period and up to the date of sign-off. Working Capital has been further strengthened by the addition of some facilities as ATJ works towards an improved cash position.

Debt, particularly CBILS loans, has also been cleared down as the slow recovery from the impact on the whole industry over the past few years continues. 

The Board, therefore, remain optimistic into 2025/26. ATJ are at the forefront of interior fit-out, our innovation, experience, and performance drives sustainability and we are proud of our reputation for high quality of project delivery across our chosen market sectors.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

 
Future Prospects

ATJ continues to make progress on the key financial and non-financial targets and are on track to deliver on the Strategic Plans. ATJ is a great place to work, known throughout the industry for operational excellence and being the partner of choice to Main Contractor clients and supply chain partners, working closely with all the major plasterboard manufacturers to offer the most safe, environmental, and buildable solution.

Despite all the challenges detailed ATJ has a stable platform to grow/improve margins exploiting a wealth of experience and talent in their people. The Board would like to thank all of the staff for their hard work and loyalty to get us through another challenging period. The level of commitment and willingness shown to go the extra mile once again has been truly humbling and ATJ has every reason to be excited for the future.

At the date of this report, both the 2025/26 revenues and operating profits are in line with budget and the sales pipeline continues to look healthy and consistent with expectations.

Principal risks and uncertainties

There has been a significant level of turbulence in the construction market over the past few years. Unsurprisingly, this has led to increased scrutiny of the performance of companies operating in the sector and the ways in which it operates. The Board is committed to a long-term strategy. It believes that there are still many challenges and much uncertainty ahead but there are also real opportunities, by focusing on the core business capabilities allowing ATJ to dynamically engage in a market that is going through unprecedented change. ATJ are financially resilient, it has a committed Board with a dedicated work force all working with a robust strategy to meet the market demands head on:

• Labour availability / costs
• Material price increases
• Fuel costs
• Further economic uncertainty created by the impact of high inflation across world markets
• The continuing wars in Ukraine and The Middle East 

Liquidity Risk
 
To support the continued strategic consolidation and with margins key, ATJ continues to focus on liquidity. ATJ continues to clear down and make all repayments in full and on time for all CBILS loans and can report a year-on-year improvement in working capital and strong relationships with all funders.

Operating environment
 
Health & Safety

Turning to safety, which is at the heart of ATJ’s licence to operate and remains a priority for clients when procuring work, ATJ are delighted to say that our safety performance remains excellent. 

ATJ operate a robust, integrated management system which supports ISO9001, 14001, and 45001. Detailed planning, monitoring and risk assessments are executed for every site, including regular training of the workforce. Internal and external health and safety audits are conducted regularly by our in-house team, and all results reviewed carefully. Thorough investigations are conducted of all accidents and near misses. ATJ has a system of regular sharing of good practices and learnings from accidents and near misses. The application of these processes are regularly monitored by the Board.

Health and Wellbeing

The health and wellbeing of the teams, both ATJ employees and the supply chain, is key as it directly impacts on operational safety. ATJ have health champions across the business who are trained to monitor and assess employees’ mental and physical wellbeing.

Summary
The ATJ business model is at the heart of our competitive differentiation and aim to continue to leverage the skills, knowledge and innovation to provide solutions, providing stability and certainty when markets fluctuate. The core business is performing well and ATJ has the leading positions in the chosen markets. Follow a period of consolidation, ATJ are very well placed for the future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF A.T. JONES & SON LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of A.T. Jones & Son Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Conclusions relating to going concern


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

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. 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 course of 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.


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 6, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF A.T. JONES & SON LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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.


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:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant sector;

We focused on specific laws and regulations, which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006 and ISO standards;

We assessed the extent of compliance with laws and regulations identified above through making enquires of management and inspecting legal correspondence and identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

Making enquires of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud; and

Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

Performed analytical procedures to identify and unusual or unexpected relationships;

Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;

Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF A.T. JONES & SON LIMITED (CONTINUED)


There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial statements, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance.

Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect that those that arise from errors as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.


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 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 2006Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1.


General information

A.T. Jones & Son Limited is a private company limited by shares and is registered and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 9 The Gardens, Fareham, England, PO16 8SS. The accounting period covers the 12 month period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

The principal activity of the company continued to be that of the provision of specialist fit out services.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A;
the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.

This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of AT Jones Holdings Limited as at 31 March 2025 and these financial statements may be obtained from Companies House, Crown Way, Cardiff, CF14 3UZ.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Going concern

There continues to be a significant level of turbulence in the construction market. The overall economic uncertainty created by the many global events of the past few years continues to create economic uncertainty for businesses. This, coupled with the uncertainty within the UK markets and additional costs put on businesses from the 2024 budget and anticipated announcements in the 2025 budget, adds to the uncertainty.

Unsurprisingly, this continues to see a number of companies in the industry close down and has led to increased scrutiny of the performances of companies operating in our sectors and the ways in which we operate. 

Strategically, the Group’s focus since 2022 on improving our productivity and removing the duplication of processes is now coming to fruition and is in good shape operationally and financially. The Group continues to maintain a clear focus across each of our chosen sectors, revenues have again demonstrated a strong resilience, underpinned by our very strong relationships with both long-standing and new clients.

Having taken the above into consideration, along with the expected performance over the foreseeable future (a forward order book for 2025/26 already shows we have secured circa £19m of our forecast revenue of circa £25m (76%)), the Directors consider that the ATJ Group has sufficient resources to continue to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Therefore, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. 

 
2.4

Foreign currency translation

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 from 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'.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Revenue

Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for specialised fit out 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 fit out 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. The stage of completion is calculated by comparing costs incurred, mainly in relation to contractual hourly staff rates and materials, as a proportion of total costs. 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. 

 
2.6

Operating leases: the company as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is credited to the Statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Amounts paid and payable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised as a reduction to income over the lease term on a straight-line basis, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern over which the lessor's benefit from the leased asset is diminished.

 
2.7

Operating leases: the company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.8

Research and development

In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. The capitalised development costs are subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful economic lives, which range from 3 to 6 years.

If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.9

Government grants

Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to the Statement of comprehensive income at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.

Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income in the same period as the related expenditure.

 
2.10

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

 
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 of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.12

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they are incurred.

 
2.13

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of comprehensive income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.14

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.


 
2.15

Tangible fixed assets

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, as outlined below.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Leasehold land and buildings
-
10%
straight line
Plant and equipment
-
10%
reducing balance
Motor vehicles
-
25%
straight line
Fixtures and fittings
-
10%
reducing balance
Computers
-
33%
straight line

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 in the Statement of comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.16

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.17

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 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.

 
2.18

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.19

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.

Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
 
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to the Statement of comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.20

Financial instruments

The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.

 
2.21

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements. estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. 

Critical judgements 
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
 
Revenue 
A high proportion of job contracts entered into span the year end. On each job an independent external valuer regularly reviews the stage of completion of each project and provides valuation certificates. Revenue is recognised based on these valuations. For job contracts spanning the year end, judgement is applied in recognising the appropriate amount of revenues based on work performed up to the year end since the latest valuation certification.
