| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE PERIOD 20 SEPTEMBER 2024 TO 31 JULY 2025 |
| The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the period 20 September 2024 to 31 July 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| Frontier Pitts Limited Group is a leading manufacturer and installer of perimeter security products, supplying customers worldwide with installations in over 100 countries. The Group delivered a successful performance in 2024-2025, achieving a profit before tax approaching £0.5 million for the six month trading period since acquiring Froniter-Pitts Ltd. |
| During the year, the Group undertook a significant corporate restructuring. A new holding company was established to facilitate the acquisition of shares from the departing Sales Director and 50% shareholder, S. Gaffer. The transaction was funded entirely from existing cash resources within the business and did not require external borrowing. |
| A five-year business plan was introduced, targeting annual growth in turnover and profitability of 10%. As part of this strategy, changes were made to the sales and marketing leadership to strengthen the focus on sustainable growth and long-term value creation. |
| Turnover declined compared to the prior year on a like-for-like basis within the underlying trading business, as the Group deliberately repositioned its activities, moving away from lower-margin contracts and prioritising the development of long-term client relationships over a 5-10 year horizon. This strategic shift is expected to support improved margins and greater stability in future periods. |
| The Group continues to face cost pressures, particularly from rising wages and material prices, with the UK experiencing more pronounced increases relative to other advanced economies. In response, ongoing efforts are being made to standardise product design and improve operational efficiencies to enhance competitiveness. |
| A key area of focus has been securing product specification at the pre-order stage, working closely with specifiers and clients to deliver tailored solutions and strengthen early engagement in project lifecycles. |
| Client payment performance has generally remained in line with expectations. However, the ongoing trend within the construction sector of attempting to pass back costs has persisted. The Group has implemented robust commercial and contractual controls to mitigate these risks. |
| The Group’s balance sheet remains strong, with net assets exceeding £7.5 million. The business continues to operate without reliance on external borrowing and maintains a solid cash position, supported by disciplined credit control and a high-quality customer base. This financial strength provides resilience against ongoing economic headwinds and supports future growth initiatives. |
| The Group continues to prioritise prompt payment to suppliers and considers this an important element of maintaining strong and sustainable supply chain relationships. |

| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE PERIOD 20 SEPTEMBER 2024 TO 31 JULY 2025 |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| There are five main risks which may affect the Group in the coming year. |
| 1. Material costs are still marching upwards. Particular concerns this year have been coating costs and hydraulic systems. |
| 2. Brexit continues to offer some challenges. Freight costs have increased and there are constant issues with shipments being held at customs. Whilst these problems are frustrating, they are more of an inconvenience as opposed to a major risk to the business. Europe has recently announced that preferred status will be awarded to EU manufacturers, further adding to the difficulties of exporting there |
| 3. Failures of construction companies appear to have slowed this year, but the press talks continuously about difficulties in the sector. Vigilance will be maintained to protect Frontier Pitts from client defaults |
| 4. More sophisticated planning has resulted in better management of space. For further expansion the business is reviewing options to increase production capacity. |
| 5. New entrants to the market place continue to appear from Ukraine, China and India. |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The Board of Directors has set growth targets for the Group, which have proven challenging for this financial year. Measures have been implemented for the new financial year to improve turnover and profit. |
| The Group has a range of quality KPIs, both in terms of delivered product and service to clients. In all categories, the indicators are showing positive improvement, which is particularly satisfying bearing in mind the recent economic challenges. Remedial works have diminished significantly during the year. |
| The Group is in a strong position to continue to withstand the current uncertain climate. A new range of gates continues to satisfy a new industry standard, giving the Group a clear lead over its competition. Further new products will be tested during the next financial year. The Group is strongly positioned for the next five years. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| FRONTIER PITTS HOLDINGS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 15968372) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR |
| FOR THE PERIOD 20 SEPTEMBER 2024 TO 31 JULY 2025 |
| The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the period 20 September 2024 to 31 July 2025. |
| INCORPORATION |
| The group was incorporated on 20 September 2024 and became the holding company for Frontier-Pitts Group on 21 October 2024. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 July 2025 was £55,000. |
| DIRECTOR |
| The director, being eligible, offers himself for election at the forthcoming first Annual General Meeting. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 director is 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 he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| 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 |
| FRONTIER PITTS HOLDINGS LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Frontier Pitts Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the period ended 31 July 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 July 2025 and of the group's profit for the period 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| FRONTIER PITTS HOLDINGS LIMITED |
| 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 Director 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 Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| 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 Director. |
| 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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of director |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page four, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has 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 group 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 group, 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 |
| FRONTIER PITTS HOLDINGS LIMITED |
| We assessed the susceptibility of the group’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. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the period 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 period 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. |
| 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. |
