STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023.
AML Juratek Limited doesn't perform any function other than that of a holding company. The directors have therefore included the Strategic Report of the main trading company, Juratek Limited.
During the year the company was acquired by Fras-Le BV. The directors report that the market in which the business operates remains competitive in the current economic climate, impacting on the margins achieved on many product line and pre-tax profitability
Sales and Profit risk - the Company operates in a competitive market but retains a good market share and continues to out perform some of it rivals. The Company's aim is to continue growing its turnover by introducing new products and adding to existing ranges whilst promoting the Juratek's own brand.
Credit Risk - where the Company extends credit to its customers it insures against the possibility of the debt not being paid, mitigating the impact of potential bad debts. Liquidity Risk - the directors control and monitor the cash flow of the Company on a regular basis. Foreign Exchange Rate Risk - the Company is not immune to changes in the global economic environment and subsequent fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The directors reduce foreign exchange rate risk to an acceptably low level using forward currency contracts, which fix the exchange rate on goods purchased and therefore maintain a consistent gross profit margin. Employees - In order to meet its objective it is essential that the Company recruits and retains the higher calibre of employees at every level of the organisation. The employment policies of the Company embody the principles of equal opportunity. The Company gives full and fair consideration to employment for disabled persons. If an employee became disabled, arrangements would be made wherever practicable by identifying employment suited to that person's capabilities and provided necessary retraining.
The company's key performance indicators for the year are as follows:
Turnover - £23,859,560 (2022 £21,118,959) Gross profit - £9,238,235 (2022: £8,523,285) Gross margin - 38.7% (2022: 40.4%) Profit before tax - £2,807,473 (2022: £907,344) Future developments and future strategy The company continues to operate a sales strategy based on providing new model ranges and increasing and improving existing model ranges. The company continues to review and improve the performance of its products to ensure they remain one of the leading suppliers in the market. The company continues to look to increase its geographical market share by trading in a large number of countries.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AML JURATEK LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of AML Juratek Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity 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 Auditors' 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 AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AML JURATEK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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.

AML JURATEK LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AML JURATEK 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 Auditors' 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 laws and regulations, was as follows:
∙the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙through discussions with the directors and other management and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the clients business, we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company; and
∙focusing on the specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Company, we assessed the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting relevant correspondence.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
∙making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
∙considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulation.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we
∙performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
∙reviewed journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
∙assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates;
∙were indicative of potential bias; and
∙investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
∙agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
∙reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
∙enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
∙reviewing and correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the Company’s legal advisors.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error astheymay involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
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 Auditors' 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 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
AML Juratek Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales (registered number: 12124727). Its registered office is Unit 3, Rockingham Way, Redhouse Interchange, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN6 7FB. During the year the Company's princial activity remained that of a holding company.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies 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.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies.
The company, being a member of a group which prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, has taken advantage of the exemption granted in FRS 102 not to present cash flow statement and certain information about financial instruments.
The company is exempt from the requirement to prepare group accounts in accordance with S401 of the Companies Act 2006, as the company itself is a subsidiary undertaking and the company and all of its subsidiary undertakings are included in the consolidated financial statements of its ultimate parent company Fras-Le, a company incorporated in Brazil. These financial statements have been filed with Companies House along with the accounts of the ultimate UK parent company, AML Juratek Limited. The Company's functional and presentational currency is pounds sterling.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet 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 balance sheet 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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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:
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 profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
