STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

INTRODUCTION
 
The Directors present their strategic report for Kendall Kingscott Limited (the Company or Kendall Kingscott) for the year ended 31 May 2021.

BUSINESS REVIEW
 
Turnover in the year was £11.6m (2020 £10.13m), an increase of 14.6%. Gross profits increased by 38.6% to £4,845m at a margin of 41.7% compared to 34.5% for the previous year. Operating profits for the year were £1,117k reflecting a margin of 9.6%.
This represents Kendall Kingscott’s best year end trading results to date and the directors are very pleased with the results.
Just before the start of the financial year, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the UK went into lockdown. The directors identified the potential risks from the pandemic early on and implemented a business continuity plan. This plan was successfully executed and Kendall Kingscott’s 5 offices returned to normal trading levels very soon after.
The success of this approach enabled the directors to focus on continued growth and investment in Kendall Kingscott.
Kendall Kingscott’s trading for the new financial year has continued to see strong levels of tradings. The half year results to 30 November 2021 has recorded sales of £6.5m. There is also a strong order book so the directors remain highly optimistic about the current financial year.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
The company’s key risks and uncertainties comprise external market conditions and delays or cancellations of projects. This is undoubtedly mitigated by ensuring there is no dependence upon any particular client, project, geography or discipline. Kendall Kingscott reduces credit risk by monitoring the behaviour of clients and through the operation of credit management procedures in line with normal business practice.
A prudent liquidity and cashflow risk management policy is operated, forecasting short and medium term working capital requirements and maintaining sufficient cash and availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and borrowing if they were required which, to date, they have not been required.
We work hard and focus on retaining our wide base of clients within a good spread of sectors. We are continually looking to bring new offerings to client on emerging trends and market intelligence, which ensure we are well positioned to deliver new, long term consultancy advisory work.

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
 
Kendall Kingscott continues to monitor performance by a number of measures including monthly accounts and dashboard reports. These include relevant KPIs such as profit and loss accounts (company and departments), cashflow, overheads, gross and operating margins, debtor days, defensive internal, current ratio and acid test ratio and other related statistics, work in progress, orders and prospects.
The Company also monitors non-financial KPIs such as staff engagement, client satisfaction and health and safety matters. The Company also hold regular board and various other formal meetings covering operations, business development, marketing, IT and HR.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

OTHER KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
 
Rethinking the way we work
As a studio based business that relies on teams working collaboratively on design work and extensive use of complex software and data hungry technology to model information, the sudden requirement for all of us to work from home was a big challenge. Our IT team had been progressively developing cyber secure remote working systems during 2019. At the time that the pandemic was declared in March 2020, a solution had been identified and was tested fully and successfully with a complete transition of all circa 140 staff to home working almost overnight. This pattern of working has extensively continued with managed returns to offices of limited numbers of staff in a COVID safe way.
This working pattern has continued throughout the 2020-21 trading year and beyond with no negative impact on productivity to date.
We are now, following regular staff surveys, exploring ways of providing more flexibility of working hours and locations.
Culture, Sustainability & Social Value
With the uncertainty in the economy during 2020/21, the challenges for trading and our response through close monitoring of our fee forecast against resource has proved vital in delivering an exceptionally strong year of trading.
The Directors’ identification of potential risks from the pandemic early on and implementation of the business continuity plan has allowed the safeguarding of our staffing and undoubtedly contributed to the most successful year of trading.
Whilst cost expenditure is closely monitored in all parts of the company, this is done with a view to sharing workload and optimising resource utilisation across the business as a whole. The willingness to share work and resource eased pressure on individuals and saved jobs.
Despite the challenges throughout our 2020/21 trading year, we have maintained our top third ranking in UK Construction Consultancies league table of 150 consultants. We continue to work towards an increasingly transparent culture in our business both in terms of widening ownership through shares but also regular employee feedback which contribute to KPI targets for the business.
We continue to measure our environmental performance and have now formalised a Kendall Kingsott carbon reduction strategy to move the business to a net zero position by 2030, with an ambition to achieve this by 2025. This includes Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Scope 1 and 2 emissions across all offices.
Kendall Kingscott supports the UK Green Building Council’s framework for net zero carbon buildings which will ensure that our consultancy work will help the UK construction and property industry to transition to becoming net zero carbon by 2050.
We continue to support our carbon reduction initiatives through sourcing energy through renewable sources.
Workload & Accreditation
We maintain a good balance of workload between public and private sector client with a reputation for designing and delivering well considered, sustainable and useful buildings to challenging budgets and programmes. The pipeline of projects in residential, healthcare, schools and retail secured by the practice has grown strongly through 2020 fed by our ongoing success in winning and retaining places on frameworks both within the public and private sectors. Notwithstanding this, our workload in the higher education sector remained suppressed during 2020/21, reflective of uncertainty among UK universities during the BREXIT process and the impact of COVID-19.
We expect our workload in this sector to recover as confidence returns to our clients to progress estate planning now new study patterns are being defined.
Our healthcare workload has seen an increase in our NHS sourced opportunities along with a consistent level of activity from our private healthcare clients. Both sectors are expected to see increasing levels of activity which we are well placed to capitalise upon.

KENDALL KINGSCOTT LIMITED


STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021


The residential sectors, both private and public clients, remains busy, with a significant increase in our capability to deliver larger scale projects which is enhancing and widening our ability to secure new opportunities.
We have widened our retail client base with winning a framework for the delivery of Employer’s Agent, Project Management, Cost Management and Architectural services for a high profile client. This, allied with two other major retail frameworks has seen a timely involvement in substantial roll-out programme for all three retailers.
Our wider involvement in public sector and ex-public sector clients sees activity continuing with blue light and postal delivery clients.
We maintained our accreditation in ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) through 2020/21 as well as Constructionline, Green Accord and CHAS.
We have maintained our Cyber Essentials accreditation and continue to explore ways of keeping our systems safe from continually evolving means of cyber attacks, particularly during the extended period of working remotely that much of our workforce has had to do.


This report was approved by the board on 28 February 2022 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF KENDALL KINGSCOTT LIMITED
OPINION


We have audited the financial statements of Kendall Kingscott Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 May 2021, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 May 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 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.


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 Auditors' 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.

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:

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF KENDALL KINGSCOTT LIMITED (CONTINUED)

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 an Auditors' 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:
 
The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
 Results of our enquires of management and directors in relation to their own identification and assessment
of the risks of irregularities within the Company; and
any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to: identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they
were aware of any instances of non-compliance; detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether
they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; the internal controls established to mitigate
risks of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations.
 
As a result of these procedures, we have considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the
organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in accounting for revenue relating to long term
contracts.
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to
the risk of management override.
We have also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates in,
focussing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material
amounts and disclosures within the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this
context included the UK Companies Act and UK tax legislation. In additions we considered provision of other
laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with may be
fundamental for the Company’s ability to operate or avoid a material penalty. These included building regulation
laws, health and safety legislation, environmental legislation and employment legislation.
 
Our audit procedures performed to respond to the risks identified included, but were not limited to:
 
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;
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess the
recognition of revenue;
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates;
Identifying and testing journal entries, evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that
represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance
with laws and regulation and fraud;and 
Review of board meeting minutes

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
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF KENDALL KINGSCOTT LIMITED (CONTINUED)

recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not
detecting one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery,
misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the
further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the
financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

1.


GENERAL INFORMATION

Kendall Kingscott Limited is a private limited company, limited by shares, incorporated within the United Kingdom and registered within England and Wales.  The Company's registered office is Glentworth Court, Lime Kiln Close, Stoke Gifford, Bristol, BS34 8SR and its registered number is 04605743.
The functional currency of Kendall Kingscott Limited is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

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 following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

GOING CONCERN

The directors have assessed the Statement of Financial Position and likely future cash flows at the date of approving these financial statements. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 
The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Director’s report.
The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of the continued possible impact of COVID-19 on trading performance, show that the company should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities.
Therefore, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has 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.

 
2.3

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover 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 turnover is recognised:

Rendering of services

Turnover 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 turnover can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
2.4

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, using the following methods.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Motor vehicles
-
25% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
-
10% straight line
Office & computer equipment
-
10-20% 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 profit or loss.

 
2.5

LONG TERM CONTRACTS

Revenue and profit on long term contracts is recognised as the work is carried out if the final outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty. The profit included is calculated on a prudent basis to reflect the stage of completion of each contract at the year end, by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses. Turnover recognised but not yet billed is carried as a current asset, 'Amounts due under contracts not yet invoiced'. Full provision is made for future losses on contracts in the year in which they are first foreseen as probable to arise.

 
2.6

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.

 
2.7

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.

In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
2.8

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.

 
2.9

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.

 
2.10

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Grants that do not not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient are recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable.

 
2.11

FINANCE COSTS

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss 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

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.

 
2.13

OPERATING LEASES

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 
2.14

LEASED ASSETS: THE COMPANY AS LESSEE

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
2.15

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 other creditors as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

 
2.16

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.17

BORROWING COSTS

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

 
2.18

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss 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 reporting 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 reporting 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 reporting date.

JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgments and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgments and estimates have been made include:
Amounts recoverable on contracts are recognised on the proportion of work completed to date on the project. The attributable profit is recognised once the outcome of the project can be assessed with reasonable certainity.
