PM
-
The Company's trading performance has improved over the year to 31 August 2021 although turnover
RICHLAND decreased to 193,198,000 2020 198,867,000 gross profit increased to 27,337,000 2020
20,322,000 Profit before tax excluding exceptional costs has increased to 19,226,000 2020
2,416,000 After exceptional items there is a profit before tax of 13,450,000 2020 loss of 1,418,000
The increase in profitability has primarily been caused by the recovery from the Covid pandemic
-
The Company derives the majority of its revenue from maintenance activities much of which is generated
COM ON from long term framework agreements Working capital is closely managed with regular reviews of trade and
other receivables In the future directors anticipate moderate but stable revenue growth across maintenance contracts which are in relatively mature markets with growth opportunities arising from the nuclear new build
sector and selling initiatives across the Altrad Group
PLEAS
PLEAS Principal risks and uncertainties -
The Board of Altrad Investment Authority the ultimate parent company manages risks at a Group level and is committed to enhancing the Group's risk management capability Risk is assessed formally at business segment level through risk workshops and via the maintenance of risk registers The updating of the risk registers is a continuous process involving the identification evaluation and management of risks by
203CP41759 individual managers This enables the early identification of key risks and the taking of action to mitigate the
likelihood of loss
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group are broadly grouped as external competitive operational and commercial and financial The risks and uncertainties facing Altrad Services Limited ASL are considered to be consistent with the Group While these risks are summarised below further details and the Group's mitigating actions can be found in Altrad Investment Authority's Annual Report which does not
form part of these financial statements
External
Altrad Investment Authority's business is diverse and operations in certain locations may be affected by factors outside the Group's control These include changes to political economic and environmental conditions in existing and new territories
Coronavirus
There remains ongoing uncertainty around the impact of the global pandemic caused by Covid on the global economy The directors remain concerned about the impact on employees suppliers and customers of the Group and are continually assessing the impacts However the directors believe the Company is well placed to trade through the uncertain times caused by the Covid pandemic
The safety of employees is our first priority and is at the forefront of our response to the pandemic The directors have taken active measures to ensure the to ensure the Company's people remain safe and healthy which has included the implementation of safety measure and there are regular health and safety meetings to ensure compliance with the measures introduced
The Company provides essential services for our customers and the continuation of those services remains a key priority Contingency plans have been implemented in consultation with our clients on whose sites we operate And we are implementing a range of measures to mitigate operational and commercial risks as they

Principal risks and uncertainties continued
2023 Business sustainability is also kept under continual review and the Company has sufficient liquidity and
support available from the wider group should it be required
Oct
18 Whilst this outcome is deemed unlikely by the directors the directors acknowledge the general uncertainty
1:13
1:13 created by Covid and as such have obtained a written confirmation of financial support from its ultimate
parent undertaking Altrad Investment Authority SAS 125 rue du Mas de Carbonnier 34000 Montpellier
France for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements The directors have
PM
made relevant enquiries of the group which indicates that Altrad Investment Authority is in a strong financial
-
position with sufficient amounts of liquid assets available and are therefore satisfied that the ultimate parent
RICHLAND undertaking has adequate resource to provide support to the Company if it is needed
Ukraine Conflict
The Company continues to monitor the ongoing tragic conflict in the Ukraine and the resulting impact on -
international relationships to understand the potential effects upon the Company The Company's
immediate direct financial exposure to the impact from the conflict is limited as we have no trading
relationships with either the Ukraine Russia or Belarus and we do not expect there to be a material impact on trade or the valuation of the Company's assets going forward
COMON
Brexit
PLEAS
PLEAS In the UK the economic climate has also been influenced by the potential impact of Brexit since the UK's
decision to leave the EU in 2016. Based on the results of the trade negotiations and given that the Company's -
business is significantly UK based both interms of customers and supply chains the Board remains confident that there will be minimal disruption to the business and at this time no significant risk factors have been identified which would materially impact the Company
Competitive
203CP41759 Altrad Investment Authority operates mainly in the energy and natural resources sectors and the Group's
earnings depend on a stable term demand for oil gas and electricity In addition losing certain key clients with which the Group has several contracts could have an adverse effect on ASL's revenues
Operational and commercial Health and safety Many of Altrad Investment Authority's operating environments have associated health and safety risks and failure to maintain the highest safety standards on site could result in injury to our employees damage to the environment and a loss of clients as well as damage to ASL's reputation The Company is maintaining a provision in respect of lodged and future industrial disease claims for which the Board of Directors of Cape plc believes the Group to be liable arising on alleged exposure to previously manufactured asbestos products see note 19
Contract and project performance The terms and conditions of the Company's contracts as well as the actual project performance by Altrad Investment Authority subsidiaries could expose it to cost overruns resulting in adverse financial performance
Financial
The Company has limited exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks albeit these are routinely monitored by experienced finance tax and treasury teams at Group level
Credit risk is managed by the Company Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer
The Company has an established credit policy under which each new customer is analysed for credit worthiness before the company's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered The Company's review includes external ratings and in some cases bank references

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 directors report
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 adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been
203CP41759 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 directors responsibilities statement set out on page 13 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 is 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
Auditor's 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 auditor's 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

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including
2023
fraud
Oct
18 Irregularities including fraud are instances of compliance with laws and regulations We design
1:13
1:13 procedures in line with our responsibilities outlined above to detect irregularities including fraud The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from
error as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by for example forgery or intentional misrepresentations
PM
or through collusion The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities including
-
fraud is detailed below However the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests
with both those charged with governance of the entity and management
RICHLAND * We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the Company and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework FRS
101 and the Companies Act 2006 and the relevant direct and indirect tax compliance regulations in the -
United Kingdom In addition the Company has to comply with laws and regulations relating to the
operations including General Data Protection Regulation
COM ON + We understood how Altrad Services Limited is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management to understand how the Company maintains and communicates its policies and procedures in these areas We corroborated our enquiries by reviewing supporting documents including board
meeting minutes
PLEAS
PLEAS + We considered there to be a fraud risk around revenue recognition particularly in respect of contracts with existing or potential commercial disputes and risks around recoverability of revenue recognised We used data analytics tools to perform a correlation analysis between revenue amount recoverable
on contract receivables and cash Using the correlation we tested that the flow of transactions is in line
with our expectations and identified and tested unusual and unexpected journals which could be
evidence of management override of controls We verified the underlying data driving our correlation
analysis by tracing a sample of cash transactions selected at random throughout the year to bank
203CP41759 statements to verify the cash entries represent real cash receipts We tested the post year end billing of
amount recoverable on contract and performed ageing analysis of the balance as at year end Further in respect of material contracts we have obtained an understanding of the terms of contract and performed month wise gross margin analysis to identify any potential upside or downside to revenue recognised We have also reviewed the project cost report to identify any potential making
contracts
In addition we considered the risk of management override specifically as a result of manual journals posted at the yearend We incorporated data analytics into our audit approach to assist into our targeted review of manual journals including segregation of duties and journals indicating large or unusual transactions based on our understanding of the business We have tested specific transactions back to
source documentation
* Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify noncompliance with such laws and regulations In addition we completed procedures to conclude on compliance of the disclosures in the financial statements with the requirements of the relevant accounting standards and UK legislation
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities This description forms part of our auditor's report

-
freehold buildings - 50 years
-
leasehold land and buildings - the shorter of 50 years and the period of the lease
-
plant and machinery - 3 to 15 years
~
fixtures and fittings - 3 to 10 years

right of use assets - the shorter of the assets useful economic life and the lease period on a straight line
basis
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within operating profit before other items in the consolidated income statement When valued assets are sold the amounts included in other reserves are transferred to retained earnings
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether its property plant and equipment may be impaired If any such indication exists the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use In assessing value in use the estimated future cash flows attributable to the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset
Intangible assets Intangible assets relate to software are valued initially at cost and are amortised over their useful economic life which is generally three years

Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised in accordance with IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue is shown net of value added tax returns rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group Claims on customers are claims made for work outside of contractual terms and as such are only recognised in revenue once
accepted by the customer
Construction contracts
The Company has adopted IFRS 15 using a modified retrospective approach of adoption with the date of initial application being 1 January 2018
The Company's revenue streams are not considered particularly complex in nature IFRS 15 requires the identification of separate performance obligations within the contract For those contracts where the Company provides a single discipline within a maintenance contract the identification of the performance obligations has not had an impact on the revenue recognition as maintenance contracts are accounted for on an earned value basis
For those disciplinary construction contracts under IFRS 15 revenue must be recognised separately for each performance obligation identified The nature of the disciplinary construction contracts is such that each discipline provided is highly interdependent upon the others and as a result could be classed as one performance obligation therefore there has been no material impact on the recognition of IFRS 15

203CP41759 Employee benefits
The Company operates both defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes
Defined contribution pension schemes A defined contribution pension scheme is a scheme to which the Company makes fixed contributions with no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to settle its postemployment benefits The pension expense for defined contribution schemes represents contributions payable in
the year
Defined benefit pension schemes The liability recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position in respect of the defined benefit scheme is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the period end date less the fair value of the plan assets The defined benefit scheme is closed to new participants The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit method and this valuation is updated at the date of the statement of financial position The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension
liability
Current and past service costs and finance costs are charged to operating profit In addition interest on the net defined benefit pension obligation is recognised in profit or loss calculated using the discount rate used to measure the pension obligation Actuarial gains and losses arising from new valuations and from updating the latest actuarial valuation to reflect conditions at the date of the statement of financial position are recognised in full in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
The pension schemes deficits or surpluses to the extent that any surpluses are considered recoverable are recognised in full and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position

-
) Revenue recognition of maintenance contracts and assessment of term contract performance
The Company generally accounts for maintenance contracts on a time and material basis this method requires
accurate estimates of materials consumed and other judgements The Company generally accounts for term
construction contracts using the percentage of completion method as performance of the contract progresses This
method requires judgement to determine accurate estimates of the extent of progress towards contract completion
203CP41759 and may involve estimates of the total contract costs remaining costs to completion total revenues contract risks
and other judgements
ii Carrying value of property plant and equipment Assessing whether property plant and equipment may be impaired requires a review for indicators of impairment and where such indicators exist an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount by reference to
value in use Management are required to exercise significant judgement in reviewing for and identifying asset
indicators of impairment and subsequently calculating value in use
iii Trade and other receivables The Company provides for likely recovery of receivables to the extent that the carrying value is more than the present value of expected future cash flows Assessing the value of the provision requires significant management judgement and review of individual receivables based upon individual customer creditworthiness current economic trends and analysis of historical bad debts
iv Deferred tax assets The Company recognises deferred tax assets on all applicable temporary differences where it is probable that future taxable profits will be available for utilisation This requires management to make judgements and assumptions regarding the amount of deferred tax that can be recognised based on the magnitude and likelihood of future taxable profits
v Defined benefit pension plans The cost and the obligation of the Company's defined benefit pension plan is based on a number of selection assumptions These include the discount rate inflation rate salary growth longevity and expected return on the assets of the plan

PLEAS Industrial disease claim provision
To the extent that such costs can be reliably estimated as at 31 August 2021 a provision has been made for the
-
costs which the Group is expected to incur in respect of lodged and future industrial disease claims for which the Board believes the Group to be liable arising from alleged exposure to previously manufactured asbestos products notwithstanding the matters disclosed under note 22 Industrial disease claims provision and contingent liabilities The most recent full actuarial valuation was completed in August 2019 and the next full valuation is scheduled to be completed in respect of the period up to 31 August 2022. The amount of the provision is based on historic patterns
203CP41759 of claim numbers and monetary settlements as well as published tables of projected disease incidence Key
assumptions made in assessing the appropriate level of provision include the period over which future claims can be expected the nature of claims received the rate at which claims will be filed the rate of successful resolution as well as future trends in both compensation payments and legal costs Management monitors claims received on an ongoing basis as well as any other factors which would require a change to the assumptions or trigger a full actuarial review in the current year When determining the appropriate level of provision the Board has considered various potential threatened and actual claim types and has relied on appropriate legal and other professional advice
The total industrial disease claims provision at 31 August 2021 was 127.0 million 31 August 2020 141.4 million
The provision for industrial disease claims is discounted at a rate of 1.06 2020 1.33 being the appropriate riskfree rate as at the balance sheet date over the term of the liabilities being approximately 31 years

benefit obligation and the plan assets as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of 18 the reporting period The sensitivities of changes in any of the principal actuarial assumptions are calculated in 18
isolation holding all other assumptions constant Limitations of the methods and assumptions used include using a 1:13
roll forward approach by using the results of the last full triennial revalutation prepared to 6 April 2019 rather than 1:13

Risk exposure to the Company
Since the pension liability is adjusted to inflation rate the pension plan is exposed to UK inflation interest rate risks
203CP41759 and changes in the life expectancy for pensioners As the plan assets relating to the main scheme include
investments in quoted equity shares of entities in the manufacturing and consumer products sector the Company is also exposed to equity market risk More than 50 of the plans assets are invested in insurance annuities Insurance annuities effectively mitigate the risk from changing inflation rates Any asset investment carries a counter party risk
23. Industrial disease claim provision and contingent liabilities
The Board considers that the provision of 127.0 million for industrial disease claims as at 31 August 2021 31 August 2020 141.4 million captures all expected material industrial disease scheme liabilities for which the Board believes the Group may become liable at the balance sheet date
The Group continues to receive claims from both individuals and insurance companies in connection with historical alleged exposure to asbestos Where claims are determined to have merit the costs are provided for and claims are settled in the ordinary course otherwise claims are defended As legal precedent in the area of industrial disease claims continues to evolve new developments and new types of claims give rise to inherent uncertainty in both the future level of asbestos disease claims and of the legal and other costs arising from such claims If any such claims were to be successful it might lead to future claims against the Group which may result in significant
,
additional liability over and above that recognised under the current provision

respect of asbestos industrial diseases contracted as a result of Cape's historic use of asbestos in PLEAS

b CCS was funded in the first instance with a sum of 40 million which represented what was considered to be a sufficient sum to discharge CCS's liabilities to Scheme creditors payable over at least eight years from 1 January 2006. The use of these funds is restricted to the payment of established Scheme claims and Scheme
creditor costs
c The sum of 40 million was not calculated by reference to an estimate of the likely amount of Scheme claims It simply represented the aggregate of the amount that Cape was able to raise from its shareholders and the level of debt which Cape could reasonably maintain for the purposes of the Scheme Of fundamental importance to the Scheme are the provisions as to topping up of that sum described below
d Every three years an assessment of the projected Scheme claims against Scheme companies payable by CCS over the following nine years is undertaken by reference to which there will be established the Funding Requirement
e the event that an assessment reveals a shortfall between the Scheme assets and the Funding Requirement Cape will top up CCS's funding over the following three years provided that sufficient cash is available Cape's obligation being limited to 70 per cent of the Cape Group's consolidated adjusted operational cash flow including for example adjustments to take account of acquisitions an element of capital expenditure and repayment of borrowing facilities During 2021 a top up of 2.0 million was made to the Scheme 2020 2.0
