GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (continued)

For the financial year ended 31 December 2024

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024.

REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS

The 2024 financial period has been one of sustained consolidation in the face of challenging economic conditions.

We have continued to secure work on a diverse mix of projects from all around the world.

As noted in the prior year, the increase in inflation and consequently interest rates around the world have added further economic uncertainty to the construction industry. The impact on borrowing costs has resulted in development budgets being reduced and clients are juggling their property assets to reduce their borrowing requirements.

As a consequence of this uncertainty and our cashflow and forecasts at that time we reluctantly accepted 9 voluntary redundancies in the period. We would like to thank those individuals for their efforts and wish them the best with their future plans.

Despite a slow start to the financial year, we have observed an increase in activity levels from mid Q3 onwards. As a consequence, Group turnover has increased but as noted in 2023, the costs to service this turnover have also continued to increase.

Due to this upturn in activity in late 2024 turnover is up by £1m compared to 2023 and has exceeded the expectations reported last year.

PROJECT NEWS

The year to 31 December 2024 has seen the completion of a number of projects including:

•The Emory Hotel Knightsbridge, part of our work at the Berkeley Hotel, London.
•The Mandarin Oriental Hotel and residences in Hanover Square, London.
•210 South 12th Street residences in Philadelphia, USA.

We are also looking forward to the completion of eight projects in the upcoming reporting year.

We continue to have many projects under construction on site around the globe.

These include:

•Taipei's Taoyuan Airport Terminal 3, Taiwan,
•The Four Seasons Hotel, Taipei;
•Capodichino Metro Station, Naples, Italy;
•St Lawrence Market Law Courts, Toronto, Canada;
•Garellano residential development, Bilboa, Spain;

In London, construction continues on:

•Carlton House Terrace, an adaptive re-use project in Mayfair.
•Regent's View residential development, Bethnal Green and
•The redevelopment of the Hammersmith & Fulham Civic Campus.

In Vilnius, Lithuania we are working on a new speculative commercial office building on Konstitucijos Avenue representing our first project in the Baltic States.

The period has seen us secure new commissions in the UK, France, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Taiwan and China, via both competitions and direct commissions. This new work includes:

•Thiais residential project, Metropole du Grand Paris
•A Convention and Conference Centre together with a hotel in Zhengzhou, China which is already under construction
•PLD Jean Moulin, mixed use development in La Defence, Paris

Having secured our first building project in Dubai in 2023 we are now working on four projects, with a number of further potential projects in our pipeline.

Additionally, towards the end of the year we won a significant new infrastructure project in MENA which is yet to be publicly announced.

We continue to be pleased with the diversity and range of building typologies and geographical spread of the work that we continue to win.

AWARDS RECEIVED IN 2024

We are pleased to have secured a number of awards for our completed projects which include:

•Regent’s View won the World Architecture Festival Award (WAF) for the best future residential project category.

The increase in activity noted at the end of 2024 has continued into the new year and we are currently projecting a significant increase in both turnover and profitability for the year to December 2025.

This is a result of new projects secured together with the restart of the British Library Extension project on the Euston Road and a successful planning approval for 99 Bishopsgate by the City of London Corporation.

We continue to be prudent with regards to income recognition but are confident in the increase in turnover and profitability after a number of years of consolidation. We do however anticipate that our costs will also increase both as a result of inflation and a significant increase in staff numbers from Q2 onwards.

Since the year end, the practice has continued to win work across the world including the UK, Europe, Middle East and China.

UK & INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK

The dynamic nature of providing architectural services in the UK, driven by the combination of ever-changing trends in architecture, the proliferation of partial services contracts, the ongoing lack of confidence caused by rising inflation and the cost-of-living issues have all contributed to the level of uncertainty. Pressure on margins continues and we do not underestimate the challenges that we face to ensure that we retain our standing in the global marketplace.

Notwithstanding this, the UK market has remained strong for us, and we have secured more work than we had previously projected. As expected, a number of London based projects have started during the first half of 2025.

Internationally we have seen changes in regional market outlook.

Activity in China was up in 2024 primarily due to our Convention Centre complex in Zhengzhou, but this is projected to reduce in 2025, as we complete our work on that project.

Conversely, 2024 saw a reduction of activity in the Middle East but this is projected to increase in 2025 having won several new projects in the Gulf states. We continue to expand in this area and are confident that further commissions will be forthcoming into 2026.

In Australia we have seen the completion of our involvement in the Melbourne Metro project in 2025, but we continue to actively search for more work in that region.

Our European work continues to increase, and we are expanding our French office team in 2025 to service this.

Finally, our Asia Pacific market is up due to new and continuing work in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.

During the financial period being reported, the practice worked in 20 (2023 – 19) different countries worldwide, a diversity that has been maintained beyond the period currently being reported on.
The global outlook of the practice is also reflected in the makeup of our staff, which is drawn from 32 (2023 - 29) countries, in line with our continued intention that the practice seeks out the best talent in the world.

OVERSEAS OFFICES

We continue to operate offices in Paris, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Sydney as well as site offices in Taipei and Melbourne.

In early 2024, we incorporated a new subsidiary company in the UAE and have leased office premises in Dubai.

Despite our worldwide profile we remain cautious of overtrading in unfamiliar markets and are developing sound collaborations with local design and construction partners to facilitate the delivery of our services.

CHARITABLE DONATIONS

Our Group constitution directs that the majority of profits generated by the Group in each financial year be distributed, providing that sufficient working capital is retained for the coming year.

Profits are allocated partly to charity with the rest as profit shares to staff and directors in recognition of the outstanding efforts made in the year.

Despite the small profit reported in the year the directors have decided to retain this amount in reserves but anticipate a resumption of distributions in the 2025 year.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

The Group continues to engage in research and development activities when required by projects. The intellectual property remains vested in the Group and is applied to future projects.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

FINANCIAL RISKS

The board is conscious of the uncertain financial environment in which it operates. Credit availability and global debt levels remain a concern and consequently management is maintaining a close watch on credit extended to its clients and on costs incurred, whether internally or externally generated.

Management maintains budgets which are updated regularly throughout the year and the customer debtor list is monitored for signs of concern. To date, the directors are satisfied that the main financial risks noted have been mitigated and that this is manifested by the continued profitability of the Group and the negligible levels of bad debt incurred historically.

GENERATION OF ADEQUATE LIQUIDITY

The Group, in line with most of the architectural profession, is subject to the periodic and irregular payment of project invoices which expose it to cashflow and related liquidity issues. Management as part of their internal reporting procedures maintain cashflow forecasts which are updated regularly throughout the year. The directors are satisfied that these forecasts enable it to anticipate liquidity shortfalls and provide sufficient time to action suitable funding to cover these shortfalls whether by borrowing funds short term or arranging to defer cash outflows.

ONGOING COMPETITION FOR NEW COMMISSIONS BY OTHER NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PRACTICES

We are conscious that we must continuously generate new work to maintain sufficient income and cash inflows to cover costs and cash outflows. The practice is therefore always actively seeking work whether by entering competitions or through its global contacts and client relationships.

THE UNCERTAIN GLOBAL MARKET FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

The board is conscious of events and conditions contributing to global economic uncertainty. The board therefore tries to keep abreast of the political, economic and credit environments of the jurisdictions it operates in. Whilst not all outcomes can be foreseen the board is satisfied it has done as much as possible to protect the practice from adverse events.

EXCHANGE RATES

The Group manages the risks of fluctuations in exchange rates by holding cash reserves in a variety of currencies. For currencies where the Group has material exposure to exchange risk the Group may implement hedging arrangements from time to time.

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Total fees - £26,621,109 (2023: £25,433,706)

RSHP GROUP LIMITED

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

For the financial year ended 31 December 2024
RSHP GROUP LIMITED

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT (continued)

For the financial year ended 31 December 2024

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual 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 and applicable law), including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”. 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 Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that financial 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 UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
* Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company and Group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RSHP GROUP LIMITED

For the financial year ended 31 December 2024

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RSHP GROUP LIMITED (continued)

For the financial year ended 31 December 2024

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of RSHP Group Limited (the ‘Parent Company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the accounting policies, and the related notes 1 to 21, including 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 of RSHP Group Limited (the ‘Company’):
* Give a true and fair view of the state of the Company and Group's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the Group's profit for the financial year then ended;
* Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"; 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 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 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 Group and 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 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.

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.

The review of the business and future developments of the Group have been disclosed in the Strategic Report instead of the Directors' Report, in accordance with section 414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
* The information given in the Strategic Report and the 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 has 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 Group and Parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and 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 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 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, 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 Group and 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 and Parent 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:

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

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 considered the nature of the Company’s industry and its control environment, and reviewed the Company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework(s) that the Company operates in, and identified the key laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. In this context we considered the Companies Act 2006 together with UK GAAP. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statements.

Furthermore, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Company and the Group’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the Company and the Group for fraud and the laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and employment legislation,

We discussed among the audit engagement team regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements.

As a result of performing the above, we identified the greatest potential for fraud (or non-compliance with laws and regulations) in the following areas, and our specific procedures performed to address them are described below:

Revenue recognition
We have considered the risk of revenue being artificially overstated and understated by management in relation to long term contract accounting. For a sample of projects we have interrogated the calculations produced by management, vouching to supporting external evidence and recalculating the stage of completion to compare and assess the risk of revenue being incorrectly or deliberately misstated during the year. We have agreed the WIP schedule to the financial statements. We have also reviewed the schedule against sales invoices and recalculated the expected deferred/accrued revenue for our selected sample.

Staff costs
We have considered where fraud may exist in respect of staff costs and salaries. In addressing the risk we have performed analytical procedures to corroborate the completeness of payroll costs as well as confirmed the existence of staff and appropriate recording of starters and leavers throughout the year. We have also considered the risk of duplicate employee recording and evidence of additional costs of close family relationships connected with key management.

Management override
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, 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.

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
* reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
* performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
* enquiring of management and in-house legal counsel concerning actual and potential litigation and claims, and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
* reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

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 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 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the financial year ended 31 December 2024
1. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.

General information and basis of accounting

RSHP Group Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Group's registered office is Level 14, The Leadenhall Building, 122 Leadenhall Street, London, EC3V 4AB, United Kingdom.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Going concern

The company and Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through an overdraft facility which was renewed in August 2025 and is not due for renewal again until August 2026. The company and Group’s forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company and Group should be able to operate within the level of its current facility.

The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its own subsidiaries (“the Group”) as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between Group entities are therefore eliminated in full.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated profit and loss account from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

Foreign currency

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 Consolidated profit and loss account.

On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into Sterling at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rate ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at opening rate and the results of overseas operations at actual rate are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Turnover

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

• the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
• it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the contract;
• the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the period can be measured reliably; and
• the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

Dividend income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders' rights to receive payment have been established.

Employee benefits

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

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated profit and loss account 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 Group in independently administered funds.

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to the Consolidated profit and loss account 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.

Taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated profit and loss account, 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 and the Group operate and generate 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;
• Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
• Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

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.

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, on the following bases:

Land and buildings 50 years straight line
Leasehold improvements depreciated over the life of the lease
Plant and machinery 4 - 6 years straight line
Vehicles 4 years straight line
Fixtures and fittings 6 years straight line
Computer equipment 4 years straight line

Residual value represents the estimated amount which would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset, after deducting estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Leases

The Group as lessee
Assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the expected useful life of the asset. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the sum of digits method. The related obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in creditors.

Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on straightline 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.

Impairment of assets

Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each Balance Sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account as described below.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and measured at initial recognition at transaction price. Debtors and creditors are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank and bank overdrafts which are an integral part of the group's cash management.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the group are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Investments
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are measured at cost less impairment.

Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the fair value of cash or other resources received or receivable, net of direct issue costs. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the Group.

Provisions

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Group a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are charged as an expense to the Consolidated profit and loss account in the year that the Group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.

When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance sheet.

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.

2. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 1, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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 financial year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that financial year, or in the financial year of the revision and future financial years if the revision affects both current and future financial years.

Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

The following judgements and sources of estimates have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the
financial statements:

The Group engages in projects that can take many years to complete. The directors therefore must make estimations in terms of the level of revenue to recognise within each set of annual financial statements. Such estimations are by their nature judgemental but are backed by reviews of correspondence and resourcing forecasts performed post year end.

3. Turnover

Turnover represents the fair value of architectural services rendered during the financial year excluding value added tax.
