STRATEGIC REPORT
For The Year Ended 31 March 2018

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2018.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

Despite an 11.5% increase in sales during the year, escalating costs in production resulted in a fall in gross profit margins of 3.4%
points, contributing to a loss before tax of £320,107.

Following poor sales levels in the last quarter of the previous year, the company implemented a policy of cost control in general
overheads and acceleration of sales. The strategy of rapid sales growth resulted in a high volume, low margin trend that had an
adverse effect on production. This cycle further depressed the company's margins.

Adversely the losses made had little effect on the company's cash flow and it continued to hold cash reserves of over £600,000. The
further capitalisation of loans maintained good working capital levels and increased shareholders' funds.

At the beginning of the current financial year, seeing the need for changes, a new management structure was implemented and
immediately commenced on a strategy of change to improve efficiency and profitability. This long-term strategy aims to return the
company to profitability through cost and efficiency savings. The first six months of the current financial year have seen a level of
investment, which is producing strong signs of a return to profitability in the remaining six months of the year.

The main KPIs for the business are:

1. The level of turnover, which at £10.7m was up 11% from the previous year;
2. Gross profit margin, which was 13.2% compared to 16.6% in the previous year; and
3. Orders in hand, which at the balance sheet date were £6.2m were 15% lower than the previous year.

The business continues to enjoy a wide customer base of blue chip construction companies and contractors, but is investing in new
customers. The spread and quality of the customer base, and continued control of production are considered key elements to the
ongoing commercial and financial success of the company.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The UK construction market is showing mixed signals but house building appears to remain buoyant. The principal risk to the
business is managing its growth while competing effectively with the company's competitors. To address these risks the directors are:

- Focusing on and providing a top quality service to existing customers;
- Reviewing costs and reducing them where practicable;
- Looking at implementing a sustainable capital investment programme;
- Constantly monitoring the level of staff and increasing or reducing the workforce as necessary to ensure efficiency; and
- Enhancing its efforts to ensure that all accessible enquiries that are received are processed with attractive
proposals.

DEVELOPMENT

The company designs, manufactures and erects structural precast concrete elements for its customers and this is expected to continue
for the foreseeable future.

Given the positive effect the changes and investment are already having on the business, the directors are confident that company will
perform better in the current financial year

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





T A Jobson - Director


13 November 2018

COLTMAN PRECAST CONCRETE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01032721)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
For The Year Ended 31 March 2018

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2018.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of the design, manufacture and erection of structural precast
concrete elements.

DIVIDENDS
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 March 2018 (2017: £nil).

DIRECTORS
The directors who have held office during the period from 1 April 2017 to the date of this report are as follows:

Mrs V A Coltman - resigned 26 January 2018
T A Jobson - appointed 21 November 2017
D S Frost - appointed 26 January 2018

K F Hughes and D A Smith were appointed as directors after 31 March 2018 but prior to the date of this report.

S D Humphries ceased to be a director after 31 March 2018 but prior to the date of this report.

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, Prime Rochesters Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





T A Jobson - Director


13 November 2018

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
COLTMAN PRECAST CONCRETE LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Coltman Precast Concrete Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2018
which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 March 2018 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 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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
- the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
- the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt
about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from
the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

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 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, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Strategic Report and the 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 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 three, 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
COLTMAN PRECAST CONCRETE 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.

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 March 2018

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Coltman Precast Concrete 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) "The
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland", issued by the Financial Reporting Council and
the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to
include certain items at fair value, where required by FRS 102.

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as
permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":

the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.41(b), 11.41(c), 11.41(e), 11.41(f), 11.42, 11.44,
11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
the requirement of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.

The results of the company are consolidated in the ultimate parent's financial statements and these can be obtained from
Companies House, Crown Way, Cardiff, CF14 3UZ.

Significant judgements and estimates
In the application of the company's accounting policies 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 period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision
and future periods if the revision effects both current and future periods.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements:

The company reviews the carrying value of all assets for indications of impairment at each period. If indicators of
impairment exist, the carrying value of the asset is subject to further testing to determine whether its carrying value exceeds
its recoverable amount. This process will usually involve the estimation of future cash flows which are likely to be generated
by the asset.

A provision is recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event for
which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably
estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a rate that
reflects the time value of money and the risk specific to the liability.

Whether a present obligation is probable or not requires judgement. The nature and type of risks for these provisions differ
and management's judgement is applied regarding the nature and extent of obligations in deciding if an outflow of resources
is probable or not.

The directors have reviewed the asset lives and associated residual values of all fixed assets classes. In re-assessing asset
lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account.
Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projects
disposal values.

Turnover
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods and services, excluding value added tax. Revenue is recognised on the
completion of each stage of work during a contract.

Intangible fixed assets
Amortisation is provided at 20% on cost in order to write each asset off over its estimated useful life.

Stocks and work-in-progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete
and slow-moving items. Cost includes all direct expenditure and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Current and deferred tax
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire
purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over
their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to 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 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 and loss in the period to which they relate. Differences between contributions payable in the year and
contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet.

Financial instruments
(i) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other
short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

Financial instruments - continued
(ii) Financial assets and liabilities

All financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered
into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all
its liabilities.

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those
financial assets classified as at fair value through profit and loss, which are initially measured at fair value unless the
arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or
liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt
instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are only offset at the balance sheet date when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable
right to set off the recognised amounts and the company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.

Debt instruments that have no stated interest rate and are classified as payable or receivable within one year are initially
measured at an undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, net of impairment.
Other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit and loss.

Commitments to make or receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost less impairment.

Financial assets are derecognised when and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows for the financial asset expire
or are settled, when the company transfers to another party substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset, or the company, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has
transferred control of the asset to another party.

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

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 profit or loss.

For financial assets carried at amortised costs, the amount of an impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.

For financial assets carried at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is the difference between the asset's carrying amount
and the best estimate of the amount that would be received for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

Where indicators exist for the decrease in impairment loss, and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occuring
after the impairment was recognised, the prior impairment loss is tested to determine reversal. An impairment loss is
reversed on an individual impaired financial asset to the extent that the revised recoverable value does not lead to a revised
carrying amount higher than the carrying value had no impairment been recognised.

All turnover for the year relates to the UK market in respect of the principal activity of the company.
