The director presents her strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2021.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The year ended 30 April 2021 started amidst the early days of the COVID pandemic with the UK in Lockdown and the Construction industry heavily impacted by the nationwide slow down. The business had a strong order book which could not be delivered & ultimately slipped several months. The business lost £339k in Q1 due to this reduction in turnover and furloughed 25% of its workforce in the early days of the pandemic. Over the course of the summer the team returned to work and activity recommenced on site with several new projects starting and existing projects coming back to life and in Q2 the business made a small profit of £53k.

As the business entered Q3 the Brighton Hospital Project that had been in severe delay returned to the fore. The business incurred significant loss & expense re-energising the project and had much difficulty re-establishing labour relationships, losing the benefits of fixed price contracts previously negotiated. For many reasons including the site location, project history and COVID issues, the business found it very difficult to maintain the high levels of good quality labour needed to deliver the works and meet our client's expectations and had to provide labour at an inflated cost whilst being tied into contractual conditions. Furthermore, these works needed to be delivered over and above the already strong order book held by the business leading to demand outstripping capacity in their factory and outside manufacture (and additional cost) having to be sourced. The issues at Brighton hospital led to a loss of £370k over Q3.

During Q4 the business worked hard to stabilise the position at Brighton hospital and delivered a profit of £113k

As we moved into the new financial year 2021-2022 the business was optimistic about its prospects having secured a strong order book. Frustratingly the new projects suffered slippage due to time lost through COVID delays in the previous year and this impacted upon the early part of the new financial year. The business secured some fast-track work which returned the business to profit and we are optimistic and excited about the planned business growth through the end of the current financial year and 2022-2023.

Further to the above operating loss, we took a prudent view on works yet to be certified which accounted for the remainder of losses for the year.

The business was well supported by their bank, NatWest, and benefited from an initial CBILS loan in June 2020 of £400k and then a further loan of £250k in December 2020. The business also completed the purchase of Unit 4, The Square in November 2020, securing for the long term the necessary industrial space for its activities at its offices/factory in Hailsham.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The principal risks and uncertainties are those facing any business in the manufacturing and construction sectors.

All such risks and uncertainties have been addressed by the director.

Financial risk

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The director has reviewed the company's risk management policies and considers them to be adequate.

Price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk

The company's principal financial instruments comprise bank overdrafts, trade creditors and loans to the business. The main purpose of these instruments is to finance the business' operations.

In respect of bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between the continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts at floating rates of interest. All of the company's cash balances are held in such a way that achieves a competitive rate of interest.

Trade creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due.

The shareholder loan included in other creditors is repayable when cash reserves permit and no interest is accrued on the balance. The company manages the liquidity risk by ensuring that there are sufficient funds to service the loan repayments.

Future developments

The company has invested in the recruitment of skilled workers which will improve the efficiency and

productivity of the business in the future.

DIRECTOR

Ms A J Shephard held office during the whole of the period from 1 May 2020 to the date of this report.

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT

In accordance with s.414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006, information on financial and other risks required by Schedule 7 to be contained in the Director's Report, are set out in the Strategic Report.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES

The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless she is 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 director is required to:

-	select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-	make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

-	prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable her to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. She is 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 director is 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 she has taken all the steps that she ought to have taken as a director in order to make herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

Ms A J Shephard - Director

28 April 2022

Qualified opinion

We have audited the financial statements of E & S Heating & Ventilation Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 April 2021 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Other 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, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements:

-

give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 April 2021 and of its loss for the year then ended;

-

have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

-

have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We were not able to obtain sufficient evidence to satisfy ourselves concerning the stock value of £138,065 held as at 30 April 2020. This was because we were not able to observe the counting of the physical stock as at 30 April 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Owing to the nature of the company’s records, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the stock valuation by using other audit procedures. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount at 30 April 2020 was necessary, or whether there was any consequential effect on the cost of sales for the year ended 30 April 2021.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

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

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

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

-	the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

-	the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, 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.

Arising solely from the limitation on the scope of our work relating to stock, referred to above:

-

we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and

-

we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us

to report to you if, in our opinion:

-	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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made.

Responsibilities of director

As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page four, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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:

-

the company's internal controls have been discussed and understood prior to our audit testing. Internal controls have been tested through walkthrough testing, to assess whether controls are adequate, whether they are being followed, and whether irregularities and fraud are prevented.

-

deficiencies in internal controls have been highlighted and explained to management, along with recommendations as to how deficiencies can be improved and the risk of irregularity and fraud occurrence minimised.

-

representations have been provided by management that there were no identified cases of fraud or instances of non-compliance during or since the accounting period.

-

substantive testing has been carried out to test the validity of transactions, with entries in the accounting system vouched to corresponding third party documentation and evidence of appropriate authorisation.

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.

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

E & S Heating & Ventilation Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover

Turnover represents the value of work carried out in the year. Profit is recognised net of VAT and discounts on long term contracts in proportion to the work completed after making allowance for future risks and uncertainties. Immediate provision is made for all foreseeable losses.

Goodwill

Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2010, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of twenty years.

Intangible fixed assets

Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of three years.

Other intangible fixed assets, being capitalised development expenditure, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of three years. The development costs have been capitalised due to their use in future business sales.

Amortisation is included within administrative expenses in the income statement.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Plant and machinery

-

15% on reducing balance

Fixtures and fittings

-

20% on cost

Motor vehicles

-

25% on cost

Computer equipment

-

33% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Government grants

Government grants in respect of capital expenditure are credited to a deferred income account and released to profit over the expected useful lives of the relevant assets in equal annual instalments.

Government grants of a revenue nature are credited to income so as to match them with the expenditure to which they relate.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Equity instruments

Non-redeemable preference shares were classified as equity as they bore discretionary dividends, did not contain any obligations to deliver cash or other financial assets and did not require settlement in a variable number of the company's equity instruments. Discretionary dividends thereon were recognised as equity distributions on approval by the Company's shareholders.

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

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet. They are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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

Long term contracts

Long term contracts are stated at costs incurred, net of amounts transferred to the profit and loss account in respect of work carried out to date, less foreseeable losses and applicable payments on account. The net balances are shown as debtors (amounts recoverable on contracts) and creditors (advance payments on account of contracts).

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.

Creditors

Short term trade 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.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Going concern

The director has assessed whether the going concern basis of preparation continues to be appropriate, based on whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.
