STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Nova Outdoor Living Limited is a leading UK wholesaler of outdoor living products, with a well-established and diverse customer base spanning the breadth of the United Kingdom.

The statement of comprehensive income is set out on page 10 and shows a profit before tax of £1,232,487 (2023: £1,424,272) for the year. Turnover for the year amounted to £10,263,375 (2023 - £12,910,748).

The business's gross profit margin has seen a major increase in 2024 to 36.79% (2023 - 33.53%).

The Business is pleased to report another year of consistent growth across its core product lines, delivering strong performance while maintaining resilient margins. This achievement reflects the strength of the brand, the quality of its offering, and the trust it continues to build with customers and partners alike.

During the year, the successful relaunch of the brand marked an important milestone, signalling the next phase in the Business's journey of growth and long-term success. This refreshed identity underscores a forward-looking strategy designed to strengthen market leadership, expand reach, and inspire confidence in the brand's enduring value.

Supported by a robust infrastructure network and a clear focus on operational excellence, the Business remains dedicated to delivering the best possible value to its customers. With a vision rooted in innovation, service, and sustainability, the Business is well-positioned to drive continued progress and set new benchmarks in its sector.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The management and execution of the company's strategy are influenced by several key risks. Principal risks and uncertainties include competition from both national and independent retailers, product availability, and cost inflation.

Despite these challenges, the business is well-positioned to adapt and compete effectively. Our strong industry reputation, robust stock holding, and dynamic marketing and incentive strategies provide us with the flexibility to respond to adverse weather and competitive pricing pressures.

Our exclusive supply chains with Far East factories and solid relationships within the freight industry ensure quick and reliable product availability at competitive prices.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The company manages the business by reference to key performance indicators. Competent management reporting tools are in place to provide essential current, timely reporting in a clear and precise manner

Key Performance Indicators are year on year turnover growth, gross profit margin %, and operating profit margin % as set out below:

NOVA OUTDOOR LIVING LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07669191)

STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The company's operations expose it to various financial risks, including price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and interest rate cash flow risk. To mitigate the potentially adverse effects of these risks on the company's financial performance, the directors have established comprehensive policies and procedures.

Price risk
Operating within a competitive market, the company faces price risk from both suppliers and competitors. However, the company effectively manages this risk through strategic supplier agreements, leveraging its operational scale.

Credit risk
While most of the company's sales are not credit-based, appropriate credit checks are conducted for those that are. Each customer's credit exposure is subject to limits, and overall risk is managed through rigorous credit control procedures and a diverse customer base.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk, the risk of encountering difficulty in meeting financial obligations, is mitigated by the company's substantial cash resources and access to additional bank facilities.

Brexit
The company continuously monitors the impact of Brexit. Despite no sales outside the UK, all employees and suppliers are UK-based or from Far East stock suppliers, ensuring minimal disruption.

Foreign exchange risk
Purchasing in US dollars exposes the company to foreign currency risk. To mitigate this, the company utilises forward exchange contracts, ensuring predictable future cash flows.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The business remains committed to the ongoing development and enhancement of its product ranges, with a view to reinforcing its market presence within the Outdoor Products sector. Looking ahead, the company intends to pursue further opportunities to broaden its customer base, with particular emphasis on key client relationships across both the Outdoor Living category and the wider retail environment.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), 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 and then apply them consistently;
-make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-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 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.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

29 September 2025

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NOVA OUTDOOR LIVING LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Nova Outdoor Living Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements, 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).

In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its profit for the year then ended;
-have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion
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 UK, including the FRC'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.

Conclusions relating to going concern
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.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NOVA OUTDOOR LIVING LIMITED


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
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 Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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.

Auditors' 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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team to detect irregularities, including fraud from instances
of non-compliance with laws and regulations included:
- Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance
with laws and regulations and fraud;
- Reading key correspondence from regulatory bodies;
- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in it's significant accounting estimates that
involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain.
- Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account
combinations or those posted by unexpected users; and
- Testing transactions entered into that are outside of the normal course of the Company's business

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed
non-compliance with laws and regulations are from the events and transactions reflected in the financial
statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, 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, or through
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 Report of the Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NOVA OUTDOOR LIVING LIMITED


Use of our 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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, and loans to related parties.

Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received; other debt instruments are initially measured at present value of the future payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet only 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.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

No significant judgements have had to be made by management in preparing these financial statements.

There were no key assumptions made concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
