| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| We aim to present a review of the development and performance of our business during the period and its position at the period end. Our review is consistent with the size and nature of our business and is written in the context of risks and uncertainties we face. |
| The principal activity of the group during the year was that of a steel tube manufacturer and laser tube processor. |
| The directors and management team believe that the financial results for the year ended 31 March 2025 are in line with their expectations. Steel prices and UK steel demand continued to decrease from the previous year, which impacted the overall gross margin generated by the business, along with the gross margin percentage. Despite the reduction in gross margin, the strategies implemented by management have continued to improve production performance, and this has enabled the business to finish the year with a small loss. |
| Throughout the period, the group has continued to invest in its manufacturing technology, logistics capabilities and IT infrastructure, the benefits of which are being seen by way of process improvements and cost savings. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The company's activities have exposed it to a number of risks and uncertainties during the period as set out below. The directors' risk management process is driven by: |
| 1) Economic outlook |
| High interest rates continues to be challenging for the group both in terms of finance costs, and it's knock-on effect on inflation, particularly in the area of energy costs. The group feels very positive that with its strong supplier relations, these costs will be mitigated wherever possible. |
| 2) Steel cost inflation |
| The fluctuation in both steel prices and exchange rates has created a downward pressure on the steel supply chain, which in turn has impacted availability of material. Alternative sources of steel supply have been secured where necessary in order to lessen this burden, and the group feels that these alternative suppliers will form a basis for future on-going purchases. It is anticipated that this pressure will reverse at some point in the next financial year. |
| 3) Wage cost inflation |
| The group is inherently exposed to the risk of wage cost inflation due to the labour intensive nature of the business, with wage costs representing the largest cost to the business outside raw material costs. |
| Inflationary risks have been driven by increases in interest rates, which in turn has fuelled a higher than normal annual wage increase. The group ensures complete compliance with labour market regulations and offers a fair employment policy. |
| 4) Competition |
| The group operates in a highly competitive market, with a high level of price sensitivity. The group's prices are continuously monitored in order to maintain them at a competitive level. |
| The group also aims to ensure continued strong demand for its products by improving its product and service offerings, whilst combining stringent quality standards. |

| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT |
| The board of directors, in line with their duties under s172 of the Companies Act 2006, act in a way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the group for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard to a range of matters when making decisions for the long term. Key decisions and matters that are of strategic importance to the group are appropriately informed by factors referred to in s172(1)(a) to (f). |
| Through an open and transparent dialogue with our key stakeholders, we have been able to develop a clear understanding of their needs, assess their perspectives and monitor their impact on our strategic ambition and culture. As part of the board's decision-making process, the board considers the potential impact of decisions on relevant stakeholders whilst also having regard to a number of broader factors, including the impact of the group's operations on the community and environment, responsible business practices and the likely consequences of decisions in the long term. |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The directors have taken the decision not to disclose KPIs in these financial statements as they are not considered necessary to understand the performance or position of the group. KPI's form an integral part of the group's monthly reporting process, allowing the directors and their management team to quickly react where necessary. |
| FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES |
| The group uses various financial instruments including cash, bank loans, trade creditors, invoice discounting and asset finance that arise directly from its operations. |
| The existence of these financial instruments exposes the group to a number of financial risks but the directors are confident that these do not pose a material risk to the underlying profitability of the business. |
| The main risks arising from the group's financial instruments are liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The directors review and manage each of these risks and they are summarised below. |
| 1) Liquidity risk |
| The group seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. |
| The group's policy throughout the year has been to achieve this through management's day to day involvement in business decisions rather than setting maximum or minimum liquidity ratios. |
| group finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits, invoice discounting, asset finance and its bank lending. The interest rate risk on the borrowings is managed by the group. |

| DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
| The directors have opted to disclose the principal activity of the business, its results, its likely future developments and its financial risk management objectives and policies within the strategic report as they consider these items to be of sufficient strategic importance to the financial statements. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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). 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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; |
| - | state whether applicable 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group 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 group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| TOP TUBES (HOLDINGS) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 14702069) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Blackthorns, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| TOP TUBES (HOLDINGS) LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Top Tubes (Holdings) Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the group's 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 group 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 group's and the parent 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 |
| TOP TUBES (HOLDINGS) LIMITED |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the parent company 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 five, 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent 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. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| 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 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below: |
| We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| TOP TUBES (HOLDINGS) LIMITED |
| In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following, however, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management: |
| - | the nature of the industry and sector; |
| - | control environment and business performance; |
| - | results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks; |
| - | the matters discussed amongst the audit engagement team involving relevant internal specialists, including tax, regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. |
| As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may have existed within the organisation and sought to identify those with the greatest potential for fraud and irregularities. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we also performed specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. |
| We considered the legal and regulatory frameworks that affect the company, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that would have had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations that we considered in this context included the Companies Act 2006, tax legislation and pension regulations. |
| We also considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. The key laws and regulations that we considered in this context included compliance with health and safety regulations. |
| Audit response to risks identified |
| As a result of performing the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: |
| reviewing the disclosures within the financial statements and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements; |
| enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; |
| performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatements due to fraud; |
| reviewing minutes of meetings involving those charged with governance, reviewing correspondence and reviewing appropriate regulatory correspondence; |
| obtaining an understanding of provisions through discussions with management in order to understand the basis of recognition; |
| in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; |
| assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
| reviewing the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of the subsidiary to confirm that the transaction is correctly recorded; |
| reviewing the consolidation adjustments to ensure that they correctly account for the assets acquired; |
| reviewing the consolidation adjustments to ensure that all inter group transactions and balances are eliminated. |
| We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members, including internal specialists, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit . |
| 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. |

| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Top Tubes (Holdings) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales, registered number 14702069. Its registered office is 2a Smith Road, Off Potters Lane, Wednesbury, WS10 0PD. |
| The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. |
| Related party exemption |
| The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
| Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements. |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
| The judgements that management have made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows: |
| - determining the estimated useful lives of tangible assets |
| - determining the estimated realisable value of older stock items |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents |
| amounts receivable for goods supplied, net of discounts and of Value Added Tax. |
| Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods); the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably. |
| Goodwill |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |

| Tangible fixed assets |
| Freehold property | - |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. |
| If there is any evidence of impairment, the carrying amount of the stock is reduced to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. |
| Financial instruments |
| A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
| Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, 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. |
| Research and development |
| Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| 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. |
| Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Impairment of fixed assets |
| A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. |
| For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. |
| Provisions |
| Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense. |
| Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. |
