STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The directors present the strategic report together with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The principal activities of the company during the year continued to be the design, manufacture, and installation of aluminium windows, doors and other glazing structures. We work closely with a broad range of customers, including end-users, architects, designers, and contractors. We provide market leading aluminium products that include windows, doors, sliding doors, bi-folding doors, rooflights, glass structures, glass balustrades, awnings and blinds.
Our number one indicator remains the welfare of our employees.
Our next priority is the successful delivery of our projects to our customers and providing a high level of quality customer service experience. Our key financial targets remain to achieve a steady growth in profit and balance sheet strength. The key financial highlights of the company for the last four years are as follows:
The full profit and loss account of the company for the year is set out on page 10. The results were in line with the expectations of the directors.
The company had another profitable year with sales of £11,936,421 and profit before taxation of £819,883 despite continuing competition, inflation, high interest rates, rising prices, energy and transportation costs.
We continued to invest in our people, training, health & safety, plant and technology and we continue to focus on our core activities. Our manufacturing facility once again performed well and continues to provide greater certainty over quality and project delivery. ODC Door & Glass Systems Ltd has been trading successfully since 2008. The Directors recognise that the company’s success would not have been possible without our loyal and dedicated workforce and during the year our employees became part owners of the business through the establishment of the ODC Trustee Employee Ownership Trust and will participate in the company’s future growth going forward.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The manufacture, sale and installation of door and glass products is a competitive market and there are several uncertainties which could have an impact on the company's performance and could cause results to differ substantially from historical profits and future projections. However, as we enter our 18th year in business we have well established systems and procedures in place to help avoid or minimise risks to the company.
The principal risks for our company include the following: Credit risk The Company’s credit risks are mainly attributable to the amount’s receivable from its customers for services carried out. Our policy therefore remains to have a fairly big spread of customers amongst homeowners, home builders and building contractors. And we operate a modern and efficient financial and management reporting system that monitors our customers and our debtor book on a day-to-day basis. Liquidity risk The Company finances its operations through a mixture of cash reserves in the bank, trade debtors less trade creditors. The company does not have any complex financial instruments or hedging products. Therefore the directors are confident that they will meet their obligations as they fall due. Interest rate risk Interest rates have been higher than desired for the last few years. But the company continues to be profitable and to generate positive cashflow, it has adequate funding arrangements in place and it constantly monitors its customers and debtor book. Health and safety risk Manufacturing, assembling and installing door and glass products is a higher risk activity. Therefore, our health and safety policies, procedures and training remains at the top of our business management principles. Our in house team The success of the company is dependent on retaining skilled and experienced management, developing knowledgeable and skilled fabricators, installers and support staff and our employment policy is designed to attract, train and retain the best people throughout their working life. Quality workmanship All our products have to be constructed to exacting design, engineering and quality workmanship standards. Our policy remains to have a longstanding team of skilled and experienced directors, managers, fabricators, installers and support staff. The economy The state of the economy and related global activity are issues on which every business sector depends and which can have a significant impact on our longer term performance and success. Our policy therefore remains to maintain adequate liquidity and bank facilities capable of funding our activities and meeting our obligations as they fall due.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Our current contracts are progressing to programme.
Our order book remains steady, as is our new enquiries pipeline. Homeowners’ appetite for continuing to invest in and upgrade their homes is still strong and whilst we saw some home upgrades delayed due to the continuing high interest rate, we are confident that the overall outlook for the continuation of home improvements and new builds in our niche in the market, remains positive. We live in uncertain times where profit margins remain under pressure, and we have the added challenge of a Geo-political crisis throughout the World so caution remains the order of the day. However, we aim for and project: a) to continue to invest in our people, training, health & safety, plant and technology b) which should give us a continuation of steady growth in turnover and profit. And as we start our 18th year in business we have the team and financial resources to deliver another successful year and to generate profit and positive cashflow going forward.
The Board of Directors is required to consider the company's ability to continue as a going concern over a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The directors are confident that the company can continue to trade successfully and continue to provide an excellent and reliable service to our customers for the foreseeable future because we have an experienced team, a satisfactory order book, consistent profits and adequate liquidity. Thus we continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
The Directors look forward with confidence to continue the success of the company into the future.
This report was approved by the board on 17 April 2025 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ODC DOOR & GLASS SYSTEMS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of ODC Door & Glass Systems Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Statement of Financial Position 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 ODC DOOR & GLASS SYSTEMS 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ODC DOOR & GLASS SYSTEMS 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:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, through discussions with directors and senior management and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the construction industry. We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations through discussions and enquiry with directors and senior management. We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. We considered the financial controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and error, including the risk of management bias or override. We tested the appropriateness of journal entries that appeared unusual as to nature or amount. Our audit procedures were designed to respond to the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that 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 or collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
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.
