The full profit and loss account of the group for the year is set out on page 10. The results were in line with the expectations of the directors.
The directors are pleased to report another successful year, with sales of £12.6 million and profit before taxation of £1.2 million.
This success was achieved despite continuing challenging economic conditions, severe competition, high interest rates, global turbulence and a lack of investment confidence.
These results would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our experienced team, who are key stakeholders in the business and who have a personal interest in the group’s prosperity as part owners since the establishment of our EOT in 2024.
We continued to invest in our people, training, health & safety, plant and technology and we continue to focus on our core activities.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Our manufacturing facility continues to perform well and continues to provide greater certainty over quality and project delivery.
The manufacture, sale and installation of door and glass products is a competitive market and there are several uncertainties which could have an impact on the company's performance and could cause results to differ substantially from historical profits and future projections. However, as we enter our 18th year in business we have well established systems and procedures in place to help avoid or minimise risks to the group.
The principal risks for our group include the following:
Credit risk
The group’s credit risks are mainly attributable to the amount’s receivable from its customers for services carried out. Our policy therefore remains to have a fairly big spread of customers amongst homeowners, home builders and building contractors. And we operate a modern and efficient financial and management reporting system that monitors our customers and our debtor book on a day-to-day basis.
Liquidity risk
The group finances its operations through a mixture of cash reserves in the bank, trade debtors less trade creditors. The group does not have any complex financial instruments or hedging products. Therefore the directors are confident that they will meet their obligations as they fall due.
Interest rate risk
Interest rates have been higher than desired for the last few years. But the group continues to be profitable and to generate positive cashflow, it has adequate funding arrangements in place and it constantly monitors its customers and debtor book.
Health and safety risk
Manufacturing, assembling and installing door and glass products is a higher risk activity. Therefore, our health and safety policies, procedures and training remains at the top of our business management principles.
Our in house team
The success of the group is dependent on retaining skilled and experienced management and training knowledgeable and skilled fabricators, installers and support staff and our employment policy is designed to attract, train and retain the best people throughout their working life.
Quality workmanship
All our products have to be constructed to exacting design, engineering and quality workmanship standards. Our policy remains to have a longstanding team of skilled and experienced directors, managers, fabricators, installers and support staff.
The economy
The state of the economy and related global activity are issues on which every business sector depends and which can have a significant impact on our longer term performance and success. Our policy therefore remains to maintain adequate liquidity and bank facilities capable of funding our activities and meeting our obligations as they fall due.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Our current contracts are progressing to programme.
Our order book remains steady, as is our new enquiries pipeline.
Homeowners’ appetite for continuing to invest in and upgrade their homes is still strong and whilst we saw some home upgrades delayed due to the continuing high interest rate, we are confident that the overall outlook for the continuation of home improvements and new builds in our niche in the market, remains positive.
We live in uncertain times where profit margins remain under pressure, and we have continuing geopolitical uncertainties so caution remains the order of the day.
We continue to invest in our people, training, health & safety, plant and technology.
As we start our 18th year in business the Directors remain committed to delivering an excellent service, maintain a sustainable business which continues to be a key strategic partner of its customers, suppliers and other stakeholders, and to generate profit and positive cashflow going forward.

The Board of Directors is required to consider the group's ability to continue as a going concern over a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The directors are confident that the group can continue to trade successfully and continue to provide an excellent and reliable service to our customers for the foreseeable future because we have an experienced team, a satisfactory order book, consistent profits and adequate liquidity. Thus we continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
The Directors look forward with confidence to continue the success of the group into the future.
This report was approved by the board on 18 May 2026 and signed on its behalf.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ODC TRADING LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of ODC Trading Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, the Consolidated Analysis of Net Debt, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company 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).
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 or 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ODC TRADING LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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 our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Directors' Report.
Page 7
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ODC TRADING 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 Auditors' 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 Group financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, through discussions with directors and senior management and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the construction industry.
We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation.
We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations through discussions and enquiry with directors and senior management.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur.
We considered the financial controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and error, including the risk of management bias or override. We tested the appropriateness of journal entries that appeared unusual as to nature or amount.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
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 Auditors' Report.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the group.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost covention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings using acquisition accounting at the balance sheet date. A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by another entity, known as the parent. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The results of subsidiary undertakings acquired or disposed of during a financial period are included from, or up to, the effective date of acquisition or disposal. All financial statements are made up to 31 December each year. Intra group balances, sales and profits are eliminated fully on consolidation. Uniform accounting policies have been adopted across the group.
The directors are confident that the group 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 annual financial statements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the group in independently administered funds.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the group in independently administered funds.
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
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 profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.
Long term contracts
Recognition of revenue and profit on long term contracts requires management judgement regarding the anticipated final outcome of individual contracts and the portion of works completed at the balance sheet date. Management undertakes detailed reviews on a monthly basis in order to exercise judgement over the outcome of each contract and the associated risks and opportunities.
Tangible fixed assets
The annual depreciation charges for plant and machinery are sensitive to changes in the useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments and economic utilisation of the assets.
