Strategic Report
IntroductionThe Directors present their Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31st July 2016.
Business ReviewTurnover has increased by 20% in the year to £217.1 million (2015: £181.2 million). Continued pressure placed on margins, due to a very competitive market and supply chain constraints, has reduced profit before taxation to£178,000 (2015: £275,000).
The Directors are pleased to report a strong order book and anticipate significant growth in turnover in the year ending July 2017 due to the high demand for housing which continues to outstrip supply. Our clients are expanding their private sale development programmes to subsidise their social housing activities.
The Company continues to operate as “community contractor” in the key sector of social housing – working in partnership with our clients to create environments in which communities can thrive.
Through working closely with Higgins Homes PLC the Directors are able to provide a “one stop shop” by providing finance solutions, design, construction, marketing and sales services to our Registered SocialLandlords clients. We are well placed to engage in joint venture partnerships to maximise the cross-subsidy return available from private development.
Principal Risks and UncertaintiesThe Directors are aware of the inherent risks within the Construction industry. The Directors monitor and manage these risks through internal controls and maintaining awareness of market conditions, availability of public funds and the contract tendering process. Market initiatives such as sustainable mixed use development and the maintenance of strong relationships with clients and suppliers will ensure that the Company can adapt to changing market demands.
Principal Activities of the CompanyThe principal activity of the Company during the year was that of building contracting.
There were no significant changes in the Company’s activities during the year and it is the Directors’ intention to develop the business taking account of prevailing market conditions.

Creditor Payment PolicyThe Company’s current policy concerning creditors is to:a) agree payment terms with its suppliers when it enters into binding purchase contracts;b) ensure that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment by inclusion of the relevant terms in contracts; andc) abide by the payment terms agreed whenever it is satisfied that the supplier has provided the goods or services in accordance with the contracts.For the year to 31st July 2016 the Company’s average payment period from date of invoice or agreement of valuation was 28 days (2015: 32 days).
Disabled EmployeesIt is the policy of the Company to employ disabled persons where they are suited to a particular vacancy and to develop their careers by means of training and promotion.
Employee InvolvementThe Company encourages disclosure of information and employee involvement in matters of concern to their employment. Special attention is paid to Health and Safety and Quality Assurance, as a result the Company has obtained the Platinum Standard ‘Certificate of Commitment’ for over 75% of employees holding health and safety CSCS Cards, accordingly industrial accidents remain at a level well below the industry norm. The Company actively promotes training programmes, the employment of trade apprentices and the participation in other youth training schemes; particularly within the London Boroughs’ neighbourhood centres.
Investors in PeopleDuring the period the Company continued to hold ‘Investors in People’ status confirming the Company’s commitment to its employees.
Quality AssuranceThe Company has received accreditation under IS0 9001 as a quality assured contractor and ISO 14001 showing the Company’s commitment to sustainability.

Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 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 for the Company’s financial statements and then apply them consistently;• Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;• State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the financial statements;• 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements31st July 2016
1. Accounting Policies1.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention 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.
Information on the impact of first time adoption of FRS 102 is given in note 21.
Higgins Construction PLC (the “Company”) is a company limited by shares and incorporated and domiciled in the UK. These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (“FRS 102”) as issued in August 2014. The amendments to FRS 102 issued in July 2015 and effective immediately have been applied. The presentation currency of these financial statements is sterling. All amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest £1. The Company’s ultimate parent undertaking, Higgins Group PLC includes the Company in its consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of Higgins Group PLC are available to the public and may be obtained from the Company’s Registered Office. In these financial statements, the company is considered to be a qualifying entity (for the purposes of this FRS).
1.2 Tangible Fixed AssetsTangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Long-term leasehold property - Period of the Lease Plant and machinery - 25% per annum Motor vehicles - 25% per annum Office equipment - 15% per annum
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 the Income Statement.
12 Higgins Construction PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016
1. Accounting Policies (continued)1.2 Tangible Fixed Assets (continued)
Freehold PropertyFreehold properties held by the Company are included in fixed assets at their latest valuation plus subsequent additions at cost. It is the policy of the Company to revalue freehold properties at least every five years. Surpluses or deficits on revaluation are included in the revaluation reserve account. Provision for any impairment in the value of properties held as fixed assets is made in the profit and loss account.
Depreciation is not provided in respect of freehold properties occupied. This is because the estimated remaining useful economic lives of the fixed assets have been determined to be in excess of 50 years and consequently any depreciation would not be considered to be material. In accordance with FRS102, Impairment of fixed assets and goodwill, the assets are reviewed for impairment at the end of each reporting period.
1.3 Turnover RecognitionTurnover is normally determined by external certification and is the gross value of work carried out for the period to the balance sheet date (including retentions) but excludes claims until they are actually certified.
1.4 Long-term ContractAmounts recoverable on contracts are valued at surveyors’ valuations, including attributable profit estimated to be earned to date less provision for any known or anticipated losses and are shown net of payments on account received or receivable. Attributable profit is based upon an assessment of the final out-turn on contracts which includes forecast costs to complete and final anticipated valuations. Claims receivable are recognised as income once received or certified for payment.
1.5 Current and Deferred TaxationThe tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income statement, except that a change 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 Statement of financial position 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements31st July 2016
1. Accounting Policies (continued)1.6 Pension Cost
The Company is a participating company in a Group Pension Scheme which has both defined contribution and defined benefit sections but which was closed to future accrual on 30th April 2010. It also sponsors a defined contribution Personal Pension Scheme. All pensionable assets are held separately from those of the Company. Contributions in respect of defined contribution pension schemes are charged to the profit and loss account when they are payable. In respect of the defined benefit section of the Group Pension Scheme, the company cannot identify its share of assets and liabilities of the group scheme, and as such accounts for it as a defined contribution scheme.
1.7 Cash FlowIn these financial statements, the company is considered to be a qualifying entity (for the purposes of this FRS) and has applied the exemptions available under FRS 102 in respect of the Cash Flow Statement and related notes disclosure.
1.8 Group AccountsThe Company is exempt by virtue of S400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to prepare group financial statements. These financial statements present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group.
1.9 LeasesOperating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis . Fixed assets under finance leases are capitalised and depreciated over their expected useful lives. The finance charges are allocated over the primary period of the lease in proportion to the capital outstanding.
1.10 InvestmentsInvestments held as fixed assets are shown at cost less provision for impairment.
