Additional information

The directors are pleased to report the trading performance for the year ended 30 September 2025. The financial performance for the year shows an operating profit of £769,680 (2024: profit £607,607) on turnover of £17,590,511 (2024: £18,493,393). EBITDA for the year was £1,138,248 (2024: £1,041,323). In the year ended 30 September 2025, the company has reported strong turnover performance despite a challenging global trading environment. The company’s continued investment in new product lines, including award-winning ranges Bronze 8G, Vestra 1G and Silver Carbon LE, has contributed to turnover remaining within expectations. During the past three years the company’s gross margin has experienced increased volatility due to increases in freight costs, Covid-19 and the current global economic climate. In 2025, less volatility has been seen; however, the climate still remains challenging. As a result, the company has reported margins of 36.0% in 2025 and 35.5% in 2024. As a result, the company has a reported pre-tax profit of £434,158 (2024: profit £182,910). The company has continued its success in winning industry awards and will continue to evolve its current ranges. The company intends to continue investing in research and development to create and deliver new products enabling growth in future years.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 September 2025

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. 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: Plant and machinery – 20% Fixtures and fittings – 20% 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.

    Valuation information and policy

    2.15 Stocks Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 2.16 Debtors Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. 2.17 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. 2.18 Creditors Short-term creditors are measured at transaction price. Non short-term creditors are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

    Other accounting policies

    2.7 Operating leases Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 2.8 Research and development Research and development expenditure is written off in the year in which it is incurred. 2.9 R&D tax credits R&D tax credits under the merged scheme (and RDEC) are treated as taxable government assistance and recognised in the income statement as other income when the entity has reasonable assurance that the credit will be received. Credits under the SME or ERIS schemes are non-taxable and presented below the profit before tax line, in the tax charge. 2.10 Finance costs Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument. 2.11 Pensions Defined contribution pension plan The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid, the company has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. 2.12 Taxation Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates income. Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that: The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met. Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. 2.19 Provisions for liabilities Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties. Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss. 2.20 Dividends Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.
