Gerard,
Since Samba honors the underlying permissions of the file system,
control that with the POSIX permissions of the subfolder.
Assuming there are only files in /u02/pub/expenses/hardware, then:
chmod 755 /u02/pub/expenses/hardware
chmod 644 /u02/pub/expenses/hardware/*
Modify accordingly to fit what actually exists in your file system.
