STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
The directors presents the strategic report of Woodlodge Products Limited (the "company") for the year ended 31 July 2025.
Woodlodge Products Limited is a trading company of the Woodlodge Group, operating principally in the UK.
The group is the UK's leading supplier of gardenware, with a reputation for excellence and expertise in the design and distribution of stylish items for outdoor living. The results of the group for the year and the financial position of the group and company are shown in the group financial statements. Woodlodge continues to build on customer service, which is fundamental to the continued strong performance of the business. Woodlodge has been successful in introducing new and exciting products, developing current ranges and developing/launching new product ranges including garden furniture, indoor pots and Christmas Décor. Our products are exclusively designed, using our in-house team and investing in specialist designers. The experience and confidence of the Woodlodge team across the country has given the business a strong platform to grow. Furthermore, improvements, efficiencies, waste reduction, customer satisfaction and competitive pricing have enabled us to win new business with new and current customers. The directors anticipate good trading conditions in the year ahead due to increasing demand for our quality products and close working relationships with our customers.
Our strategy is to continue to work with our customers to develop a long term sustainable business that delivers improving products and services.
Our business is:
∙Built on the basis of continued improvement
∙Putting our customers and staff at the heart of everything we do
∙Striving to deliver excellent customer support to include employing professionals who create success for our customers
∙Developing new products and services
∙To continually learn and adopt current best practices.
Effective management of risk is essential to the delivery of the company's objective of offering a premium product and excellent customer service.
Woodlodge is exposed to foreign exchange rates which can create volatility in the company's results. This risk is minimised where possible by forward purchasing currency. The customer needs are foremost and as a result extended pre-season credit terms are sometimes offered. This risk is effectively managed through stringent credit checking and credit control procedures. Woodlodge continually invests in the improvement of its systems and processes in order to ensure sound financial management and reporting. The company manages its cash and borrowing requirements in order to maximise interest income and minimise interest expense, whilst ensuring the company has sufficient liquid resources to meet the operating needs of the business.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Woodlodge recognises its obligations to act responsibly, ethically and with integrity in its dealings with staff, customers, neighbours and the environment as a whole.
Woodlodge acknowledges the need for ethical suppliers and ensuring the sustainability of the countryside in the UK and globally. Woodlodge is partly powered by wind energy generated from its own turbine together with solar power and is also very keen to minimise its carbon footprint of its fleet. New vehicles are chosen with low CO2 emissions and plans are in place to run electric vehicles in our fleet. The success as a knowledge-based company trading in the garden industry is based on our people and we seek to continue to retain, reward, recruit and develop the best creative talent in our organisation.
Our long term development plans are to continue to design and develop new products to fill our customers' needs. We are strengthening our market position and increasing our presence in the garden industry. The signs point to further growth and we are on schedule with our efficiency improvements.
The directors consider the key performance indicators are those that communicate the trading strength of the business, these being turnover and gross profit margins.
For the year ended 31 July 2025, turnover was £35,957,843 (2024: £29,159,214) and gross profit % for the year ended 31 July 2025 was 29% (2024: 26%).
The board understands the importance of engagement with all stakeholders and gives appropriate weighting to the outcome of its decisions for the relevant stakeholder in weighing up how best to promote the success of the company.
The board regularly discusses issues concerning employees, suppliers/subcontractors, clients, community and environment, regulators, shareholders and health and safety, which it takes into account in its discussions and in its decision-making process. In addition to this, the Board seeks to understand the interests and views of the company's stakeholders by engaging with them directly when required. The below summarises the key stakeholders and how we engage with each.
Our employees contribute to a positive working environment. Employees are key to the success of our business. In addition to aiming to be a responsible employer in our approach to pay and benefits, we continue to engage with our team to ascertain which training and development opportunities should be made to improve our team's productivity and our individual employee's potential within the business.
We continually invest in employee development and wellbeing to create and encourage an inclusive culture within the organisation. Our culture invites different perspectives, new ideas and opportunities for growth. We work hard to ensure employees feel welcome, are valued and recognised for their hard work. All members of the senior management team and the board are open to new ideas and improved ways of working. Regular company briefings are held to inform the group of financial performance and progress against the company strategy. Employees have wellbeing support via Bupa's Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Our suppliers and subcontractors are key stakeholders in the business, we seek to ensure we engage with all our suppliers and subcontractors in partnership and follow various principles in our engagement with them.
These include:
∙Operating tender processes for orders above set limits
∙Paying to terms on agreed invoices and applications
∙Seeking supplier and subcontract views on our manner of engagement and areas for improvement
∙Having clear codes of conduct and policies
We have multiple valuable long-term supplier partnerships which have been built by following our culture and values and embedding them in the relationships we build.
Our customers are at the centre of our business. Our field-based and site-based teams build lasting relationships with our current and potential customers to ensure we deliver the highest levels of service. We are in regular contact with our clients, in order to ensure that our products are delivered and displayed on-time and in-line with their expectations. This is primarily completed on a face-to-face basis at our customers sites and the company has invested heavily in its field-based sales and merchandising team to facilitate this process. This activity is supported by attendance at several trade events and customers are invited to our on-site showroom.
The community and the environment is of high importance to the board. The business supports various charities including Greenfingers, a children's charity that provides gardens at hospices and numerous JustGiving charities. We will also support various other individual charity requests throughout the year.
The environment is very important to the company and we understand the importance of minimising our environmental impact. Steps taken:
∙All energy used comes from renewable sources with energy created by our own wind turbine and solar panels supplemented by an energy provider committed to renewable energy.
∙Reduction in packaging materials and where possible we use or recycle cardboard, plastics, and our office waste.
∙Carbon off-set of the majority of our print material through a scheme which plants new trees in UK forests.
We work with regulators in a proactive manner to develop regulations that meet the needs of all our stakeholders.
The board's intention is to behave responsibly and to ensure that the management team operates in a responsible manner. In doing so, we believe we will achieve our long-term business strategy and further develop our reputation in the horticultural sector. We have a risk and control framework to ensure that the company complies with all legal and regulatory requirements.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025.
The directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, the directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
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 judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
∙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 £1,113,218 (2024: loss £352,917).
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 July 2025.
The company will continue to follow the various government policies and advice, and in parallel, will do its utmost to continue operations in the best and safest way possible. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
The directors have undertaken a comprehensive going concern review over the period to 31 July 2027 on a group basis. This included reviewing detailed cash flow forecasts, covenant forecasts and a review of the funding requirements. Along with these forecasts, the directors are highly encouraged by the strength of the business and its longstanding relationships with customers/suppliers. We believe that collectively this provides substantial evidence that the business can thrive going forwards and should afford sufficient evidence of the appropriateness of a going concern assessment for the annual accounts.
The directors who served during the year were:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WOODLODGE PRODUCTS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Woodlodge Products Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 July 2025, which comprise the profit and loss account, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity 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.

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.

WOODLODGE PRODUCTS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WOODLODGE PRODUCTS 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: FRS102 - the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK & The Republic of Ireland, the Companies Act 2006 and relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK.
We obtained an understanding of how the company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquiries of management. We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by meeting with management to understand where management considered there was susceptibility to fraud. Audit procedures performed by the audit team included:
∙Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
∙Identifying and testing journal entries, with a focus on entries made with unusual accounting combinations;
∙Confirming with management whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or illegal fraud; and
∙Evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by management that represents a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
These procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. This is usually on delivery.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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 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.
The asset was not in use at year-end and therefore no amortisation charge was recognised.
Depreciation is charged either on a straight-line basis or so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the profit and loss account.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit and loss account in the year that the company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the reporting date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan. Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found,

WOODLODGE PRODUCTS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Trade debtors provision Management provides for debts based on a combination of age and other known factors which might affect the recoverability of the debtor. Management continues to chase all debts unless there is a legal reason that a debt cannot be recovered. The provision rates used are reassessed regularly against recovery statistics. Inventory provisioning It is necessary to consider the recoverability of the cost of inventory and the associated provisioning required. When calculating the inventory provision, management considers the nature and condition of the inventory, as well as applying assumptions around anticipated salability of inventory held. Management will also make provisions for respective rebates for inventory sold to customers arising from contractual obligations. Depreciation and useful economic life The depreciation in respect of tangible fixed assets, is based upon estimates of the useful economic lives of the assets involved. Useful economic life is assessed initially upon acquisition of the asset and thereafter reviewed annually taking in to account any revision of future use of those assets. The judgements involved are informed by historical experience in relation to similar assets.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to the principal business activity of the company.
All turnover arose within the United Kingdom.
