| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 April 2025. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES |
| Niglon Limited is a UK distributor of high quality electrical components. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The results for the year and the financial position of the company and the group are shown in the annexed financial statements. |
| The group's results for the year were satisfactory. Turnover in the year was £16,6M, an increase of £1.8M as compared to the previous year, representing a continuing improvement in turnover in prior years. The profit before taxation for the year was £758k as compared to £1,041k in 2024. |
| Revenues have increased as the group has benefited from its stock holding policy and sales team's efforts. Profit has fallen due to increased overheads, with considerable investment being made in the year on strengthening the team. There was also a loss on the USD/GBP exchange rate in the year as well as some stock write downs which are deemed exceptional in nature. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The group's results are sensitive to the general UK economic climate and are affected by factors including property market conditions, the availability of bank credit, consumer demand, interest rates and inflation. |
| Financial Reporting |
| Regular financial reports are produced including daily sales and margin reports and monthly accounts. These reports are monitored by the directors. |
| Liquidity Management |
| The group monitors its day-to-day cash requirements and has a policy of investing surplus cash balances. |
| Foreign Currency |
| The directors purchase foreign currency in advance when it is considered beneficial to do so. This process can help to maintain and improve margins when the exchange rates for the USD and Euro have been favourable. Currencies have been allocated by Option Dated Forward Transaction for up to twelve months ahead. |
| Risks and Uncertainties |
| The group sources a large part of its supplies from companies in the Far East. As a result, the group is vulnerable to any disruption in its ability to obtain delivery as and when required, although some security is obtained from its stockholding activities. With regard to the risk of supply, the group has countered this by investing in larger modern premises several years ago which has increased the stock depth and reduces the risk of supply chain disruption. |

| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025 |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The directors continuously review the strategic and financial progress of the group using, among others, the following KPIs. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is considered in both value and by customer and product groups. |
| Operating Margins |
| Operating margins are monitored daily. |
| Cash Flow |
| The group has funds deposited with a bank. Cash flow is monitored daily. |
| Operating Budgets |
| The group prepares monthly management accounts which are reviewed against both current and previous year figures, as well as budgets and forecasts. This is so that any adverse trends can be promptly addressed. |
| Personnel, Health and Safety |
| Health and safety matters are kept under regular review. Employee numbers and benefits are similarly reviewed regularly. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| The directors consider that the group can continue to meet competitive and market challenges. The group is strongly positioned both financially and in the marketplace. The Irish property acquired in 2022 is in the process of being refurbished and the company looks forward to operating in earnest from there during 2025/26. |
| Turnover in the current financial year has seen a continuing improvement in sales. Much of this is down to the group's stockholding policy, product development, and sales efforts. The group expects sales and profitability to continue through 2025 and 2026, although the group remains aware of the possibility of a downturn in sales due to uncertain economic conditions (relating to the world order, as well as UK house building levels). The company's policy of holding robust stock and working capital means that the business can trade through any short-term difficulties that may be beyond its control. |
| Following a rights issue in May 2018, the group had earmarked funds to enable it to continue to seek new trade investment and expansion opportunities, whether ongoing internal investment or by new acquisition opportunities. |
| In late 2025 the company acquired a Dublin-based Irish electrical distributor. |

| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025 |
| CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY |

| Depending on their skills and abilities, disabled people enjoy the same career prospects as other employees, and if employees become disabled every effort would be made to ensure their continual employment, with appropriate training where necessary. |
| Policies for recruiting employees are designed to ensure equal opportunities irrespective of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, or marital status. |

| POLITICAL DONATIONS AND EXPENDITURE |
| No donations made during the year were political donations or expenditure. All donations have been made for charitable causes to non-political organisations. |
| 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), 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 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; |
| - | 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. |
| NIGLON LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 00891753) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025 |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Prime, 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 |
| NIGLON LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Niglon Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 April 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 30 April 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 |
| NIGLON 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: |
| Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: |
| - the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| - we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the industry sector; |
| - we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; |
| - we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| NIGLON LIMITED |
| We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: |
| - making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and |
| - considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
| - performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
| - tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
| - assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and |
| - investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
| In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
| - agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
| - enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
| - reviewing correspondence with HMRC and other relevant parties. |
| There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. |
| Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or 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. |
| 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. |

| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Niglon Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Going concern |
| The company continues to be profitable and well resourced. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Therefore the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reporting of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from estimates calculated using these judgements and assumptions. |
| Key significant judgements and estimates are as follows: |
| Freehold and investment property were measured at fair value less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The properties were last revalued by Johnson Fellow Chartered Surveyors on 3 March 2021. The revalued properties were sold during the year. |
| Stock provisions are applied to slow moving or obsolete stock. Stock is deemed to be slow moving when the quantity on hand has not changed in the last 12 months. |
| Bad debt provisions are only recognised on those customers that have ceased trading or gone into liquidation. All other outstanding balances are deemed fully recoverable. |
| Sales rebate reserves are recognised where rebates are due back to customers based on the amount of sales over a specific period. If the exact rebate is not known as at the year end, it is based on historic average rebate rates. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| 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. |

| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
| Land and buildings | - 2% on cost excluding land |
| Plant and machinery | - 15% and 20% on cost |
| Motor vehicles | - 25% on cost |
| Investment property |
| Investment property is shown at fair value. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Financial derivatives |
| The group holds forward foreign exchange contracts. These derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value on a periodic basis. Changes in the fair value are recognised in the profit and loss as an income or expense as appropriate. |
| 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. |
| 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 date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |

| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
| The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| 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 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. |
