STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Principal activity The principal activity of the Company during the year was the sale of dehumidifiers and cooling products.
The Statement of Income and Retained Earnings set out on page 10 shows that the Company’s turnover for the year is £48,110,639 (2024: £48,601,463) and that the Company made a profit after tax for the year of £5,946,124 (2024: £8,893,424).
A customer’s desire to purchase our product range is partly weather dependent. Hot summers drive increased demand for cooling products and wet autumn/winters increase demand for dehumidifiers. Summer 2024 was the coolest on record in the UK since 2015, which suppressed sales of our cooling range. Sales of our dehumidifier range in Autumn/Winter 2024/25 remained strong and when combined with stronger sales in Europe led to the slightly increased turnover figure for the year. Our results in Europe strengthened as our efforts to develop our brand across Germany and Western Europe continue, with strong sales for both cooling and dehumidifiers. We order stock of cooling products early in the calendar year, and dehumidifier stocks in mid-summer, so stock is in place for the coming seasons. In early 2024, we were over optimistic ordering cooling stock. With the cool summer, we were left with a substantial overstock of fans and air conditioners. The same ordering issue affected orders the level of dehumidifiers ordered and despite strong sales of dehumidifiers we ended the year overstocked. These higher than planned stock holding have led to significantly higher storage (and related in-bound transport costs) for the year which have negatively impacted on profit levels. We have reviewed our ordering methodology to ensure we maintain a lower stock level for the coming year, ensuring we can sell through stocks currently held within the following season. Our cash balances have fallen over the year to £12,037,562 (2024: £14,987,651). This drop reflects the absorption of cash into our stock holdings. Summer 2025 has been a very good season for cooling stock after one of the hottest summers on record, and we sold out of all cooling stock. We have an opportunity to develop and re-invigorate our cooling offering for the 2026 season. In 2025 we have launched a new 8” Sefte fan to much acclaim and we plan to strengthen our product range; extend our bestselling Arete range with a 6L model and added a new Pro - desiccant model to our dehumidifier range. As a company, we are looking to the future. Steps have been taken to strengthen our team at all levels, with training of existing staff, internal promotions and external recruitment all forming part of our strategy. This trend continues into 2025/26 as we continue to plan for growth both in the UK and mainland Europe. As Directors, we are very excited for the year ahead. The Company ended the year with net assets of £32,645,150 (2024: £27,111,248).

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The directors consider the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the company to be:
Environmental uncertainties – Summer 2024 was poor for sales of cooling products, summer 2025 was very good. This is the unknow that we will always have within the business, we cannot predict the weather with any accuracy to predict demand. Competition – Our success brings attention and there is no doubt that we are being targeted by competitors large and small. We respect them all and we will continue to double our efforts to maintain our position as a premium volume supplier of air treatment products across Europe. Currency - Like many companies we are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations, this has been affected by current political issues around the dollar, but we monitor our positions carefully. Logistics - We are also affected by shipping rates. In 2023/24 these reached an all-time high and have settled, somewhat, over 2024/25. However, they are still not at the rates of prior years. We are also affected by political instability around shipping routes in the Middle East which have extended delivery times from the Far East. We have amended our ordering timetables to ensure we allow additional time for shipments until the situation changes.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Products - We have successfully focused on developing our own range of fans, which have been well received and won many awards. We will continue to develop this range over the next few years.

Our ability to develop products for Europe that are relevant to the local environment remain at the forefront of our activities to ensure we remain relevant.

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 £5,946,124 (2024 - £8,893,424).
During the year the company undertook research and development activity in relation to obtaining further scientific advances in particular in relation to performance, energy efficiency and noise levels.
The Company's energy consumption in the United Kingdom for the year is 40,000kWh or lower and therefore is a low energy user, and so is not required to make energy disclosures. Therefore, no disclosures are required in relation to Green House Gas Emissions, Energy Consumption and Energy Efficiency Action

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MEACO (U.K.) LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Meaco (U.K.) Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 March 2025, 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 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.
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.

∙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 MEACO (U.K.) 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:
The Company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant including:
∙The Companies Act 2006;
∙Financial Reporting Standard 102;
∙UK employment legislation;
∙UK health and safety legislation; and
∙General Data Protection Regulations.
We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
We understood how the Company are complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures.
The engagement partner assessed whether the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations. The assessment did not identify any issues in this area.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
∙Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
∙Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
∙Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and
∙Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations.
As a result of the above procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas:
∙Posting of journals to the accounting software which are of a non-routine nature in terms of timing and amount; and
∙Timing of revenue recognition.
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.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

the revenue can be reliably measured. Sales of freight on board stock are recognised when released from the warehouse. For sales where the company is responsible for delivering inventory to the final customer, the sale is recognised when the goods are delivered. These are the points at which it is deemed that the risks and rewards have passed to the customer. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Basic financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The directors consider there to be only one class of business.
