STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
The Company has performed well in its first full year of trading. Revenue of £52.8m and a gross profit margin of 26.1% are testament to the Company adapting to the challenge of the global Covid pandemic and management’s decisive control of cost, inventory and overheads.
The directors have prudently managed cashflows and working capital and are pleased to report net assets of £6.5m at the balance sheet date. Whilst the economic and political climate remain uncertain, the directors are confident that the business is well positioned to take advantage of a number of future opportunities.
Throughout its operations the Company faces various principal internal and external risks and uncertainties, including working capital management, customer and supplier risk and financial asset risk. The Company manages the risks inherent in its operations in order to mitigate exposure to all forms of risks, where practical.
The Company does not discriminate against anyone on any grounds. The sole criterion for selection or promotion is the suitability of the person for the job. It is the policy of the Company to provide employment to people irrespective of sex, age, religion or disability whenever the demands of the Company and the abilities of the individual will allow. Appropriate levels of training and development are available for all levels and categories of staff.
Continuing investment in plant, people and process has placed the business in an excellent position to continue to grow and develop, as well as being well positioned to capitalise on a number of high profile future opportunities.
The business would like to thank all its staff, customers, suppliers and strategic partners for their support.
The Company is continually investing in R&D activities, constantly developing new, unique and innovative products for a wide range of customers. These R&D initiatives and the new products being developed are keeping the Company at the forefront of temporary fencing, which augurs very well for the future. As such, the Directors intend to continue investing in R&D to maintain this competitive advantage.
This report was approved by the board on 24 February 2022

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2021.
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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom 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 to 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.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £
7,076,371
(2020 -
£
NIL
)
.
The directors do not recommend the payment of a final dividend.
The directors who served during the year were:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BLOK 'N' MESH GLOBAL LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Blok 'N' Mesh Global Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 August 2021, which comprise the Statement of income and retained earnings, the Balance sheet
and the related notes, 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).
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 Auditor's 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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BLOK 'N' MESH GLOBAL LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙
the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙
the Strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Directors' report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BLOK 'N' MESH GLOBAL LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
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:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with law and regulations, was as follows:
∙
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙
We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussion with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant sector;
∙
The specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Company, are as follows;
°
Companies Act 2006.
°
FRS102.
°
Health and Safety legislation.
∙
We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management, reviewing board minutes and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙
Laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and during the audit as any further laws and regulation were identified.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by:
∙
Making enquires of management as to where they consider there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud;
∙
Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙
Reviewing the financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation;
∙
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies;
∙
Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions;
∙
Assessing whether judgements and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates, including stock obsolescence, depreciation and bad debt provision were indicative of management bias; and
∙
Investigating the rationale behind significant transactions, or transactions that are unusual or outside the Company’s usual course of business.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BLOK 'N' MESH GLOBAL LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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 Auditor's 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 an Auditor's 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.

Accounting policies (continued)
The Company invests extensively in hire plant for hire contracts. This investment substantially enhances the fleet of hire plant leading to an extended economic life-span. In view of this, the company employs a policy of capitalisation in respect of hire plant expenditure with a corresponding provision for depreciation to recognise the reduction in value of the hire plant over its estimated useful life.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
The Company discloses transactions with related parties. Where appropriate, transactions of a similar nature are aggregate unless, in the opinion of the directors, separate disclosure is necessary to understand the effect of the transactions in the financial statements.
Research and development expenditure is charged to the statement of income and retained earnings in the year in which it is incurred.

Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance sheet.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
a) Critical judgments in applying the entity’s accounting policies No significant judgments have had to be made by management in preparing these financial statements. b) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below. (i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 12 for the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment, and note 2.5 for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.
