It gives me great pleasure to be Managing Director of Ibex as we celebrate our 15th anniversary of trading.
As the market continues to change reflecting the global economic situation, Ibex looks forward with optimism to 2011 and a positive set of results, which will form the foundation for another 15 years.
Whilst I was not one of the 11 original members of staff who started Ibex in April 1996, I did join six months after this date and as a consequence I am very familiar with the early goals to build a company that consistently provides the highest quality product possible to the commercial office market in London. This is still our core market sector, however the company has expanded geographically and is also completing several complex refurbishment projects.
The last 15 years have seen many changes in all aspects of personal and business life and one of the many attributes of Ibex has been it's ability to change with the differing demands of the market in which it operates and we will continue to do this.
There have been a number of noticeable achievements during the last 15 years, we have moved offices three times, successfully established a Midlands business, which has been complimented by the recent opening of a Thames Valley office in the UK Regions and also a Residential division targeting high net
worth clients in Central London. Within these achievements, over 900 projects have been completed with a total value in excess £1BN.
Like all dynamic businesses, there have been changes in personnel, however, we have always managed to retain the culture of the business and have remained prosperous in each of our 15 years of trading. We are today a mature business, which has a strong brand and is well respected for the service and product it produces in a fiercely competitive and challenging market place.
As with any successful business, we are reliant on all of those who have worked for, or with us during the past 15 years, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all as we prepare ourselves for the challenges that the next 15 years will hold for us.
Mark Taylor Managing Director, Ibex

DIRECTORS' REPORT
The directors present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.
Principal Activities
The principal activity of the company during the year was that of high quality interior fitting out, refurbishment and residential developments.
Review of the Business
Considering the general economic climate in the UK we look back on 2010 as a job well done. The continuing difficult trading conditions for the sector in 2010 proved extremely challenging with the recession still hitting the property and construction industry particularly hard, as clients delayed, postponed or shelved new projects.
Construction volumes continued to decline and margin was therefore earned through hard work and an even greater attention to detail in all aspects of the delivery process and also our ability to change and flex to suit ever changing market conditions. Against this backdrop, it gives me great pleasure to report a profit before tax for 2010 of £ 361,387 (2009 : £521,211) on a reduced turnover of £ 45,856,491 (2009 : £60,994,701).
The year started very slowly with work carried forward from 2009 of £22M and this trend continued until mid year. We did however see a significant improvement in the market, particularly the Fit-Out sector, during the second half of the year, which enabled us to deliver a positive result for 2010 and has also given us a good start to 2011 with a carry forward order book of £36M. This trend has continued into the early part of 2011 and bodes well for a better result in 2011.
The growth in new orders for our core Fit-Out division was complimented by the continued growth of our Residential division amongst high net worth individuals in central London and also the Refurbishment division, which benefited from the renewed interest in the upgrade of old stock.
As a consequence, we look forward to 2011 with a healthy order book and a business structured and geared to deal with what we believe will continue to be challenging times ahead.
Environment
The company complies with relevant environmental legislation, industry codes of practice, the Doyle Group Environmental Policy and any other applicable requirements. Construction methods are selected which minimise the use of natural resources associated with the use of energy and materials. Where appropriate, we will investigate and promote the use of by-products, recyclable and sustainable materials. We seek to minimise waste production and avoid contamination from any waste produced by ensuring that disposal is safely handled by licensed operators.
Future Developments
The directors expect continued growth in the forthcoming year.
Financial Instruments
The Group, of which the company is a member, has a loan and overdraft facility with Bank of Scotland plc. A mortgage debenture exists giving the bank a fixed and floating charge over the assets of the Group as security for the overdraft and loan facilities provided to the Group. These facilities are reviewed annually alongside the business plans and budgets for the forthcoming year.
The Group enters into interest rate swap and cap and collar arrangements.
The Group does not enter into any other financial instruments bar normal short-term creditors and debtors on normal commercial terms.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (cont.)
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The market sector in which Ibex Interiors Limited operates in is highly competitive, however we believe Ibex Interiors Limited remains a key player, therefore we fully expect to achieve the targets that have been set for the forthcoming financial year.
Contract risk is reviewed on a project by project basis by senior management on a risk averse basis relative to the sector.
Contract debtors are managed on an ongoing basis via a regular review of individual contracts to ensure that our full entitlement is recognised and monitored through to crystallisation of the debt.
Trade creditors are managed closely and are paid as far as possible within the credit terms agreed.
Senior management closely monitor the cash position on a daily basis and use this information to direct creditor payment policy in response to the liquidity and cashflow risks affecting the business.
Key Performance Indicators
The company undertakes a comprehensive budgeting process and sets both company and profit centre targets with an objective of continuous organic growth in PBT.

Creditor Payment Policy

↗ Use unamended terms of standard forms of contract widely recognised in, and drawn up by bodies representing the industry.
↗ Clearly agree and set down the terms of payment with suppliers and subcontractors.
↗ Make payments in accordance with its obligations.
↗ Trade creditor days based on creditors at 31 December 2010 were 43 days (2009: 33 days).

Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditor
The directors who are in office on the date of approval of these financial statements have confirmed that, as far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the auditor is unaware. Each of the directors have confirmed that they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that it has been communicated to the auditor.
The Directors' Report was approved by the Board and signed on their behalf by:
I Carr Director 8th September 2011
The directors are responsible for preparing 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
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.
a. in preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
b. make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
c. state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
d. 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.
DIRECTORS' REPORT (cont.)
PAGE 10
We have audited the financial statements set out on pages 11 to 24. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 an auditors' report 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.
Respective Responsibilities of Directors and Auditor
As more fully explained in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 9, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's (APB's) Ethical Standards for Auditors.
Scope of the Audit
A description of the scope of an audit of financial statements is provided on the APB's website at www.frc.org.uk/apb/scope/private.cfm.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
In our opinion the financial statements:
↗ give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2010 and 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.
Opinion on Other Matters Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
Matters on which we are required to Report by Exception
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.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
Going Concern
The Group (of which the company is a member) has a loan and overdraft facility in place with the bank. Forecasts have been prepared covering a period greater than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which show that it can continue to operate within the facilities currently available.
After considering the forecasts and the available financing the directors are of the opinion that the company will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due and therefore consider it appropriate to draw up the accounts on a going concern basis.
Cashflow Statement
The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 (Revised 1996) from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a subsidiary undertaking where 90 percent or more of the voting rights are controlled within the group and it is included within consolidated accounts that are publicly available.
Turnover
Turnover is ascertained in a manner appropriate to the stage of completion of the contract, and credit taken for the profit earned to date when the outcome of the contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty.
Tangible Fixed Assets And Depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write each asset down to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life, as follows:
↗ Leasehold improvements - on a straight line basis over the term of the lease
↗ Fixtures, fittings & equipment - 25% on reducing balance basis
Leasing
The annual rentals on "operating leases" are charged to profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Long Term Contracts
Long term contracts are assessed on a contract by contract basis and reflected in the profit and loss account by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses. Turnover is ascertained in a manner appropriate to the stage of completion of the contract and measured by reference to value of work done in comparison to total contract value. Credit is taken for profit earned to date when the outcome of the contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty. The amount by which turnover exceeds payments on account is classified as "amounts recoverable on contracts" and included in debtors; to the extent that payments on account exceed relevant turnover and long term contract balances, the excess is included as a creditor. Where it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense as soon as it is foreseen.
PAGE 14
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Retirement Benefits
For defined contribution schemes the amount charged to the profit and loss account in respect of pension costs represent the contributions payable by the company during the year. The value of any prepaid or outstanding balances are disclosed separately within either debtors or creditors as is appropriate.
Deferred Taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis.
Deferred tax assets are provided to the extent that, in the opinion of the directors, there is a reasonable probability that the asset will crystallise in the foreseeable future.

Specialist Systems
10 Keys is the Ibex ‘DNA’ which maps the processes and systems by which all projects are managed and monitored as part of our Quality Management Systems. Ibex has also consolidated the environmental management system, ISO 14001, and uses this tool for complying with the relevant environmental regulations, achieving self-defined environmental objectives and maintaining continual improvement of performance.
istandard is an approved method, implemented by a dedicated Ibex team during the Project Close Out period, to ensure a consistency in the level of quality and client satisfaction at handover. This is also measured as part of the Quality Audit system with rigorous metrics and awards for best practice and approach.
Sustainability & The Environment
Ibex take the environmental and sustainability agenda very seriously. To reflect this we have not only consolidated our environmental management system (ISO14001) but also achieved accreditation as a BREEAM Office Assessor for clients such as DTZ, Canada Life, Network Rail and Trillium.
As part of this process we have achieved a Planet Positive and SKA accreditation which impacts on the whole business, as we use recycled paper and ensure sites identify and recycle waste to our strict standards.
We continue to review all of our projects to ensure best practice and our high environmental standards are maintained.
