STRATEGIC REPORT

for the year ended 31 December 2025

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The company's principal activities continued to be the manufacture of the world-famous Fisherman's Friend Lozenges. Its objective is to responsibly sell more Fisherman's Friend products, to more people, more often, as profitably as possible.

Trading conditions in the Global food and retail sectors remained challenging during the year to 31 December 2025. Despite this, 2025 delivered a step-change in performance for the company. Record quarterly sales were achieved, and sustained improvements in manufacturing profit. The industry has seen a stabilising of the inflation and commodity price increases which have impacted upon the companies cost of sales in previous years.

The key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows:

| 2025 |  | 2024 |  |

| £'000 |  | £'000 |  |

Turnover |  |  | 79,152 |  | 64,849 |  |

Operating profit |  |  | 12,142 |  | 5,644 |  |

Profit after tax |  |  | 10,096 |  | 5,201 |  |

Equity shareholders' funds |  |  | 106,858 |  | 96,762 |  |

Production per employee (tonnes) |  |  | 21.3T |  | 20.6T |  |

Current liabilities as % of current |  |  | 14.3 |  | 8.50 |  |

assets ('quick ratio') |  |

Average number of employees |  |  | 344 |  | 319 |  |

Turnover has increased by 21.6%, the company has implemented an annual price increase which has been the key driving factor behind this. A uniform increase for 2026 has simplified governance.

Production levels in tonnes, have increased to 7,323 in 2025 from 6,574 in 2024 and production per employee has risen to 21.3T in 2025 from 20.6T in 2024. Both of these indicators show that a more efficient production process is now in operation.

Gross profit for the year has risen from 28.62% to 33.46%. A host of factors such as increased production efficiencies, settling energy costs, and fixed price contracts for ingredients have impacted the margin. Costs of sales have continued to rise throughout the year but the company has mitigated this with its own price increases. Exiting unprofitable lines and resetting pricelists has ultimately underpinned topline and margin resilience.

An operating profit of £12.1 million has been made for the year which is an improvement on the £5.6 million operating profit made during the prior year. This is driven by the gross margin with other overheads largely remaining static.

We remain fully committed to the future and as such there has been extensive capital expenditure during the previous two financial years which in the main relates to new production facilities and upgraded machinery. This should enable the company to realize our plans to improve the efficiency of both the manufacturing and distribution process.

The company exits 2025 with high morale, tight cost control, and clear growth levers for 2026.

Current liquidity "quick ratio" remained excellent and the company held significant cash resources to implement its continuing capital expenditure programme.

Fisherman's Friend continues to be a key player in the global throat lozenges market and with technological innovation and advancement will further optimise the performance of production and products. We continue to focus on the digitisation and automation of production, changes to blends, and packaging alternatives. New lines are being developed and trialled and the company aim to maximise the opportunity to have a first class pharma facility on the Fylde Coast.

STRATEGIC REPORT

for the year ended 31 December 2025

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The directors believe that the principal risks and uncertainties facing the business are as follows:

Economic and political factors beyond the company's control: |

| South East Asia is a significant market for the company and also the location of its contracted production and packing facilities. There are potential political, exchange rate and environmental risks throughout this region over which the company has no control. |  |

| A significant amount of the company's trade is done within the EU. The trade agreement reached with the EU at the end of 2020 has enabled the company to continue this trade tariff free. Whilst some short delays have been experienced at borders and there have been a general rise in prices, to date, no significant problems have been encountered. |

| Unforeseen political issues in general can impact on the prices and the availability of raw materials and packaging continues to be a risk which the company is managing on an ongoing basis. |  |

Financial risks: |

Price risk: |

| Around the world there is inflationary pressure at the moment causing suppliers to increase their prices and this has had a direct impact on the margin of the company. |

| Upwards price pressure from suppliers constantly represents a risk to the company. The company has a number of contracts with key suppliers that mitigate the effects of input price volatility. |

| The company operates in a highly competitive market place, particularly with regard to pricing. The company manages this trading risk by providing well priced, high quality products and by maintaining strong relationships with their distribution base. |

| The company trades in currencies other than Sterling and a fall in the value of Sterling could affect the profitability of the company. |  |

Credit risk: |

| The company's credit risk is primarily attributable to it's trade receivables. The company works closely with it's distributors to ensure that stocks and balances are kept at a manageable level and this has resulted in a history of minimal bad debts. |

Liquidity and cash flow risk: |

| To manage liquidity and cash flow risk, the company closely monitors it's operating cash flows to ensure that there are sufficient funds to meet not only it's day to day working capital requirements but any future capital commitments that may fall due. |

Interest risk: |

| The company has no bank borrowings and considerable assets, which results in very low gearing and any change in interest rates would result in minimal effect. |

STRATEGIC REPORT

for the year ended 31 December 2025

Operational risks: |

Disruption to supply or production of goods: |

| The company operates under regulations which apply to food manufacturing and pharmaceutical companies. Any failure to meet the necessary standards could inhibit the company's ability to trade. In order to mitigate this risk the company has a designated quality assurance team who monitor the practices of the company to ensure that all regulatory requirements are being met. |

Reputational risks: |

| The company strives to produce a high quality product. Any supply of goods that do not meet these standards could have a negative effect on their market. The company seeks to mitigate the risk of this by having stringent internal quality control procedures that ensure that all raw materials, packaging and finished goods meet the required standards. |

STRATEGIC REPORT

for the year ended 31 December 2025

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT

The directors of Lofthouse of Fleetwood Limited consider that they have acted in ways that they believe to be the most likely to promote success for the company in the decisions they have made during the year ended 31st December 2025.

Consequences of decision making:

All significant decisions have a clear focus on the long term goals and aims of the business. The directors are keen to embrace modern and more efficient manufacturing techniques which will provide the company with the scope to increase output at the current facilities.

The interests of our employees:

The company aims to be a responsible employer in its approach to the pay and benefits our employees receive. The health, safety and wellbeing of our colleagues are of the highest importance and ensuring this is one of the primary considerations in the way we do business. Training is provided to all staff to enable them to perform their role to the best of their ability.

The directors acknowledge the importance of having a culture of 'continuous improvement' and are piloting a number of schemes which aim to modernise working practices and reward staff so that they can continue to perform to the same high standards.

During 2019, the company joined SEDEX, an organisation whose aim is to ensure ethical and fair employment throughout the supply chain. Their audit found that the company upholds the SEDEX values.

Fostering good relationships with suppliers, customers and others:

The company recognizes the importance of both suppliers and customers and takes steps to ensure that these relationships are maintained on a professional footing. The longevity of many of these relationships is testament to company's success in this area.

Payments to suppliers are not unduly withheld and the company takes steps to ensure that the contractual obligation between it and it's suppliers and customers are clear and fair. Purchase agreements are put in place with the major raw materials and packaging suppliers to provide a degree of certainty for both parties.

The directors and the sales agents make regular trips to meet distributors around the world and this has proven to be a useful exercise in maintaining the working relationship, and also for gathering feed back and exploring new opportunities.

Community & environmental:

The directors are aware of the environmental impact that manufacturing can have and strive to minimize this by bringing in changes to activities and processes as these changes are identified. During the year under review, changes have been made to reduce the energy consumption, and environmental issues will form part of the considerations when looking to further develop the companies facilities.

The directors are passionate about supporting the local community. Most of the employees are drawn from the local area, and the company supports local community initiatives.

The company supports The Lofthouse Foundation, a charitable organisation set up by the Lofthouse family, whose objectives are to provide amenities and facilities for the benefit of the inhabitants of the town of Fleetwood and the Fylde Coast.

Ensuring high standards of business conduct:

Lofthouse of Fleetwood Limited seek to maintain the highest possible standards of business at all times. The directors are involved in all key relationships to ensure that standards are met and regular meetings are held between the directors and the management team to make sure that any issues that arise can be addressed in a timely and effective manner.

The company has both a Corporate Social Responsibility Policy and a Modern Slavery Policy in place which provide clear guidelines in the way that it is expected that the core values of the company be upheld and applied to all stakeholders.

Acting fairly between members of the company and with stakeholders:

The directors try to conduct themselves in a fair and courteous manner in every aspect of our operations.

The directors aim to communicate information to staff where appropriate to keep them abreast of changes and developments within the business.

There is a human resources department within the business that staff can access if any issues arise around their employment with which they need help or resolution.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

for the year ended 31 December 2025

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). 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;

- | 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 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.

We have audited the financial statements of Lofthouse of Fleetwood Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the 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 company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 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

LOFTHOUSE OF FLEETWOOD 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 nine, 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

LOFTHOUSE OF FLEETWOOD LIMITED

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:

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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

1) Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with

laws and regulation and fraud. This includes legislation that affects the running of the company such as the

Companies Act 2006 and current payroll and employment legislation, as well as legislation that affects production, such as environmental, health and trading standards laws. Compliance has been checked with the ISO9001, FSSC22000, MHRA and US FDA to ensure that all accreditation are up to date.

2) Evaluation the operating effectiveness of the management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities. The company has standard operating procedures in place for all aspects of the business and the design of these are reviewed to ensure the procedures within the accounting function operate as documented.

3) Reviewing key correspondence with regulatory authorities in relation to compliance with relevant regulations. These include external bodies, such as the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority, who conduct regular inspections to ensure compliance with their standards.

4) Challenging assumptions and judgements made by the management in their significant accounting estimates, the main areas being the valuation of investment property, the valuation of stock, and the useful economic life of fixed assets.

5) Identifying and testing journal entries This includes reviewing significant entries around the year end and any journals posted throughout the year that are deemed to be higher risk.

6) Looking for evidence of management override of controls. Along with the review of journals detailed above, this

would include reviewing monthly control accounts and looking for evidence of departures from the accounting

procedures that are in place.

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.

| Investment property

| Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Financial instruments

| Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.

| Short term debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement in other operating expenses.

| 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 the 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.

| Foreign currencies

| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the period end. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

| The company operates defined contribution schemes in respect of its directors and employees. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the company in independently administered funds. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the company to the directors' fund and payments to individual pension plans of employees.

| Going concern

| The company has at it's disposal a lengthy and consistent record of strong cash generation which is more than sufficient to meet it's day -to-day working capital requirements. The directors have reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future and for at least 12 months from the date that these financial statements are approved. Therefore, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Provisions for liabilities

| Provisions are recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefits as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where the company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is only recognised as a separate asset if recovery is virtually certain.

3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

| In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

| Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies and key source of estimation uncertainty

| The following are the key sources of estimation uncertainty that the directors have assessed as being applicable to the entity and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. It is deemed that there are no critical accounting judgements.

| Fixed assets:

| Accounting for fixed assets involves the use of estimates for (a) the useful live of the assets over which they are to be depreciated, and (b) the existence and any amount of impairment. Details of fixed assets can be found in note 11.

| Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives. When the company estimates useful lives, various factors are considered including expected technology obsolescence and the expected usage of the asset. The company regularly reviews these assets useful lives and future economic utilization and the physical condition of the assets concerned.

| The carrying value of the assets is assessed periodically to determine whether there are any indications of any impairment of the value beyond the depreciation charge. If this is the case, an impairment charge is taken against the carrying value of the assets and charged to profit and loss account. The impairment of fixed assets requires management judgement in determining the amounts to be impaired, in particular, judgement is used when assessing the future cash flows.

| Investment property:

| The fair value, £609,550 (2024: £609,550) of the investment property has been arrived at on the basis of the directors valuation carried out on 31st December 2025. The valuation was made on an open market value basis by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties.

| Stock:

| Stock provisions are provided where it is considered that the amount realisable is considered to be less than its carrying amount. The provisions are made using management's best estimate for recoverable amounts.
