Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2021 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2021. |
Review of business |
The Company continues to operate in the business of construction, structural alteration, refurbishment and fit-out for exclusive residential and commercial properties in and around London. |
The Company generated turnover of £11.486m (2020: £8.975m) and delivered PBT of £1.284m (2020: £389k). |
The Board is pleased with the overall performance of the business. The COVID measures employed by the Company continued to be effective throughout the year in avoiding any COVID related delays to projects or material disruption to our operations. Our supply chain performed strongly during the year and together we have been able to navigate the numerous challenges created by the ongoing market disruption. |
We anticipate the market disruption referenced above to continue into 2022 and likely beyond. The Company has introduced the appropriate contractual protections required to mitigate the cost risks created by inflationary pressures and supply chain disruption. We will continue to work with our clients, subcontractors and suppliers to ensure pricing risk is managed effectively. |
The Company is anticipating strong performance in 2022 based on our secured work and pipeline of opportunities. |
Our balance sheet remains extremely strong which allows the Company to continue to pursue a selective approach to the work we undertake. It is our stated intention to continue undertaking a limited number of exclusive schemes each year at pricing levels that properly reflect the associated risks. |

Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2021 |
Principal risks and uncertainties |
It is the Company's policy to proactively identify, understand and manage the risks inherent in the operation of our business so as to encourage responsible and informed decision making. The Company's exposure to financial risk is mitigated at an early stage of each project as each subcontractor to be employed is subjected to a stringent vetting process and prices are set at the outset of a project and continually monitored throughout for efficacy. |
Credit risk exposure is limited as the Company adheres strictly to the contractual terms of each project (generally under JCT standard forms of contract), as the Company's history of limited bad debts has successfully illustrated. |
Liquidity risk is also limited as the contract terms of projects carried out by the Company ensure that it receives settlement of its invoices on a regular basis. Allied to this, the Company's policy is to make payments to its subcontractors and suppliers in an expeditious manner. |
Cash flow risk is managed on a daily basis via the Company's established procedures of credit management, payment processing and continual financial analysis and reconciliation. During the year, the Company retained its excellent rating with credit reference agencies. |
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. |

Future developments |
The ongoing global Covid-19 pandemic continues to significantly disrupt the economic environment. |
The Company has implemented comprehensive Covid-19 secure protocols for our construction sites and head office. We continue to work closely with our supply chain to manage and mitigate the consequences of this disruption to ensure any impact on our delivery programmes is kept to a minimum. To date we have managed to avoid any Covid related delays to our live work. |
The Company's strategy to undertake a small number of exclusive projects remains unchanged. |
Directors |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2021 to the date of this report. |
Financial risk management objectives & policies |
The Company mitigates credit risk through the completion of detailed and thorough monthly valuations for each of our projects. The value of works completed are accurately measured and payments agreed with both our professional client teams and our subcontractors with payments then made/received in accordance with contracted timescales. The Directors consider this to be an essential risk management process. |
Individual project reviews are completed on a regular basis to monitor project performance and profitability with corrective action taken by the Directors as required. |
The Company employ strict internal control procedures with clearly allocated responsibilities and segregation of key duties. Regular financial reconciliation and reporting is completed on all aspects of the business to ensure compliance and to monitor ongoing performance. |
Performance Bonds and other forms of security are obtained from subcontractors in circumstances where the Directors consider it to be necessary. |

Report of the Directors |
for the year ended 31 December 2021 |
Statement of directors' responsibilities |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 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 of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | 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. |
Statement as to disclosure of information to auditors |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
Auditors |
The auditors, Haines Watts, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
On behalf of the board: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Delcon Construction Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Delcon Construction Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 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 Auditors' 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 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. |
However, not all future events or conditions can be predicted. The COVID-19 viral pandemic is one of the most significant economic events for the UK with unprecedented levels of uncertainty of outcomes. It is therefore difficult to evaluate all of the potential implications on the company's trade, customers, suppliers and wider economy. The Directors' view on the impact of COVID-19 is disclosed on page 13 within the notes to the financial statements. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Delcon Construction Limited |
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 Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing else to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- adequate accounting records have not been kept, 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the 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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Delcon Construction Limited |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements. |
- Enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims. |
- Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. |
- 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. |
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the year ended 31 December 2021 |
1. | Statutory information |
Delcon Construction Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in the United Kingdom operating from University House, 11-13 Lower Grosvenor Place, London, SW1W 0EX. Company Registered number: 02198767. |
2. | Accounting policies |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
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. The Directors have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. In particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Directors have tested their cash flow analysis to take into account the impact on their business of possible scenarios brought on by the impact of COVID-19, alongside the measures that they can take to mitigate the impact. Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the Directors have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts. |
Key sources of estimation, uncertainty and judgement |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting practice requires management to make estimates and judgement that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents the total invoice value, excluding value added tax, of sales made during the year. |
In respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services, turnover represents the total value of work done in the year, including estimates of amounts not invoiced is recognised by reference to stage of completion. |

2. | Accounting policies - continued |
Financial instruments |
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company 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 company will not be able to collect all amounts due. |
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and compromise cash in hand and at bank which are an integral part of the company's cash management. |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the company are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. As equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
