Strategic Report

for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

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

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The principal activities of the company are the manufacture and distribution of stoves, fireplaces, chimney systems, surrounds and associated accessories across solid fuel, gas and electric fuel types. During the year the company has continued to introduce new products to both export and domestic markets.

Sales for the year increased significantly due to the acquisition of Gazco Ltd in September 2024. Underlying sales of the combined businesses declined 10% on a like for like basis which is reflective of the overall market dynamics in the sector.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The directors envisage that the next year will continue to be be challenging in the sectors in which the company operates, with economic uncertainties and cyclical shifts in fuel type demand leading to a decline in the domestic market. We continue to introduce new products to the market which we expect to enable us to expand our market share and benefit from our market as it recovers to a growth position as we expect it to.

KEY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The directors use a number of KPIs in measuring the performance of the business, examples being the growth in turnover year on year, the profit before tax as a percentage of turnover and the return on capital employed.

The values of the KPI's for the last 3 years were as follows:-

| 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |

Turnover growth |  | 84.5% |  | -23.4% |  | -4.5% |

Profit before tax as a % of turnover |  | 50.4% |  | -1.4% |  | 7.9% |

Return on Capital Employed |  | 45.6% |  | -1.3% |  | 8.6% |

NON-FINANCIAL KEY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The group had three health and safety incidents reportable to the Health and Safety Executive, under the RIDDOR regulations in the year (year ended 31 December 2024: one). Details of the criteria are given here - http://www.hse.gov.uk/riddor/reportable-incidents.htm

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The key business risks affecting the company are considered to be:-

- fire (or other similar sudden unforeseen events) leading to a reduction in production capacity and product availability;

- the impact of significant exchange rate fluctuations on export sales and component purchases;

- overall market and economic conditions; and

- the volatility of commodity-based raw material prices.

The company mitigates these risks in a number of ways, including the use of a disaster recovery plan covering potential disruptions to its businesses, the maintenance of strategic stocks of key components, the specific identification of alternate suppliers and the use of relevant financial instruments.

Strategic Report

for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The company's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include the effects of credit risk and exchange rate risk.

The company monitors and takes action in each of these areas as follows:

Credit risk

The company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made. In addition, credit checks are made annually on those customers who are deemed to be a significant credit risk to the company. The company also monitors all court judgements made against its customers and makes appropriate adjustments in the light of this information.

Exchange rate risk

The company monitors its exposures in the foreign currencies in which it regularly transacts. In order to protect against excessive fluctuations, the company will take out financial instruments or purchase relevant currencies to restrict these risks where considered appropriate by the Board.

Foreign exchange transactions

There were no transactions outstanding at the end of the year or the previous financial year.

MATTERS COVERED IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT

Disclosures with regards to principal activity, review of the business, future developments, principal risks and uncertainties and financial and other key performance indicators are included within the strategic report.

EMPLOYEES

Applications for employment from disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the respective aptitude and abilities of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment within the company continues and that appropriate training is arranged. It is the policy of the company that the training, career development and promotion of a disabled person should, as far as possible, be identical to that of a person who is fortunate enough not to suffer from a disability.

Employees are kept informed and consulted on matters of importance to them, including those factors affecting the performance and future of the business, by regular meetings.

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;

- | 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.

Report of the Directors

for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

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.

AUDITORS

The auditors, S&W Audit (a trading name of S&W Partners Audit Limited), will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of

Stovax Gazco Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Stovax Gazco Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 other information comprises the information included in the Strategic Report, Report of the Directors and Financial Statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Strategic Report, Report of the Directors and Financial Statements. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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.

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

Stovax Gazco 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 four, 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

Stovax Gazco 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.

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

We obtained a general understanding of the Company's legal and regulatory framework through enquiry of management concerning their understanding of relevant laws and regulations, the entity's policies and procedures regarding compliance, and how they identify, evaluate and account for litigation claims. We also drew on our existing understanding of the Company's industry and regulation.

We understand that the Company complies with the framework through:

- Outsourcing accounts preparation and tax compliance to external experts.

- Subscribing to relevant updates from external experts, and making changes to internal procedures and controls as necessary.

- The Directors' close involvement in the day-to-day running of the business, meaning that any litigation or claims would come to their attention directly.

In the context of the audit, we considered those laws and regulations which determine the form and content of the financial statements, which are central to the Company's ability to conduct its business, and/or where there is a risk that failure to comply could result in material penalties. We identified the following laws and regulations as being of significance in the context of the Company:

- The Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102 in respect of the preparation and presentation of the financial statements.

- UK Taxation Law

- Specific industry standards

We performed the following specific procedures to gain evidence about compliance with the significant laws and regulations identified above:

- Made enquiries of management regarding compliance with laws and regulations and any known non-compliance in the year

- Reviewed legal expense accounts

- Obtaining written management representations regarding the adequacy of procedures in place.

The senior statutory auditor led a discussion with senior members of the engagement team regarding the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. The areas identified in this discussion were:

- Manipulation of the financial statements, especially revenue, via fraudulent manual journal entries.

- Incorrect recognition of revenue

- Warranty provision as this is a subjective estimate made by management and therefore could be manipulated.

The procedures we carried out to gain evidence in the above areas included:

- Testing of manual journal entries, selected based on specific risk assessments applied based on the client processes and controls surrounding manual journals;

- Testing a sample of revenue transactions to underlying documentation, including ensuring revenue is recognised in the correct period and has occurred; and

- Challenging management regarding the assumptions used in the estimate identified above, and comparison to market data and post-year-end data as appropriate.

Overall, the senior statutory auditor was satisfied that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise irregularities.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of

Stovax Gazco Limited

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.

| Tangible fixed assets

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

| The cost of tangible fixed assets is their purchase cost, together with any incidental expenses of acquisition. The company assesses at each reporting date whether the tangible assets are impaired. Depreciation is charged to the profit and loss account and calculated so as to write off the cost of fixed assets, on a straight-line basis, over the useful economic lives of the assets concerned. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:

| Plant, fixtures, fittings and equipment |  | 15% |  |

| Computer equipment |  | 33% (included with Plant, fixtures, fittings and equipment) |  |

| Motor vehicles |  | 25% |  |

| Production tooling and stove patterns |  | 15% to 25% (included within Plant, fixtures, fittings and |  |

| equipment) |  |

| Stocks

| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost, on a first in, first out basis, and net realisable value after making due allowance for any obsolete and slow moving items. Cost of stocks comprises the purchase price of stocks and all other directly attributable costs.

| Financial instruments

| 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 non-puttable ordinary shares.

| 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 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

| The presentation currency of these Financial Statements is Sterling.

| Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the Company's functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are retranslated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the profit and loss account, except for differences arising on the retranslation of qualifying cash flow hedges and items which are fair valued with changes taken to other comprehensive income, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.

| Employee benefits

| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

| The company is one of the employers in a group personal pension scheme with an external provider. This is a defined contribution scheme, which is a post-employment benefit plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account in the years during which services are rendered by employees.

| Distribution and administrative costs

| Distribution costs and administrative expenses are stated net of any recharges made by the company for such costs.

| Research and development expenditure

| Expenditure on research and development activities is recognised in the profit and loss account as an expense as incurred.

| Expenditure on tangible assets purchased as part of development activities, such as cast iron and production tooling, is capitalised (if the foreseeable life is sufficient to justify capitalisation) over four years to seven years, depending on the type of tooling purchased.

| Operating leases

| Payments (excluding costs for services and insurance) made under operating leases are recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless the payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation; in which case the payments related to the structured increases are recognised as incurred. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit and loss over the term of the lease as an integral part of the total lease expense.

| Computer software

| Computer software is expensed in the year in which the expenditure is incurred, unless its economic life is greater than three years in which case it is capitalised and included in intangible assets.

| Provisions

| A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, that can be reliably measured and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

| Where the Company enters into financial guarantee contracts to guarantee the indebtedness of other companies within its group, the company treats the guarantee contract as a contingent liability until such time as it becomes probable that the company will be required to make a payment under the guarantee.

| Provision is made for the expected cost of maintenance under warranties in respect of products delivered and invoiced.

| Interest receivable and interest payable

| Interest receivable and interest payable are accounted for on an accruals basis.

| Cash and cash equivalents

| Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

| Debtors

| Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. At the end of each reporting year the financial assets are assessed for evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss.

| Creditors

| Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs.

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

| The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include provisions for warranties.
