EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Introduction
The directors present their strategic report detailing the company's performance during the year ended 30 September 2025. Principal activit y The principal activity of the company is that of distributors of electrical products.
Business review
The directors consider the results for the year to be satisfactory, sales volume grew despite a weak UK market but the margin gain from this was negated by increases in operating costs, primarily from the substantial increase in employer NI taxation together with general inflation. During last year we strengthened our senior management team with the benefits unlikely to show before our 25/26 year – 8 months into this year we are seeing sales growth in a market which remains weak. We expect this to continue, and it should result in an upturn in profitability for the current year. The company continues to hold a significant cash balance, and the company reported a pre-tax profit of £1,493k.
Financial key performance indicators
The board monitors the company's performance in a number of ways including key performance indicators. The key financial indicators for 2025, together with the comparative for 2024, are as follows: - Turnover - £72,390k (2024: £69,992k) - Gross margin - 7.59% (2024: 7.58%) - Pre-tax profit - £1,492k (2024: £1,564k) The turnover indicator represents the value of goods delivered to customers in the year and measures sales growth in value terms. The gross margin is calculated by dividing gross profit by turnover and measures the total profitability of product sales. Pre-tax profit is the profit generated by the company from operations including finance income and finance costs but before taxation. The indicator measures the overall profitability of the business for the year. The board also considers the following key non-financial performance indicators: - Customer mix measured against plans - Marketing and sales activities measured against results. These non-financial indicators are reviewed regularly by the board. Page 1
EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Principal risks and uncertainties
Risk is present in all businesses. The directors consider the major risks and uncertainties at present are: Customer mix There is a risk that the company becomes too dependent on a particular type of customer and efforts are made to ensure that our exposure to such a risk is minimised by ensuring a varied mix of customers at branch level. Warranties The company does not itself give warranties but does pass on manufacturers' warranties. Insurance risks The company insures its business assets against insurable risks as it deems appropriate.

Eyre & Elliston Limited: Stakeholder Engagement The Board of Directors at Eyre & Elliston Limited, both individually and together, have a legal responsibility under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 to act in the way we consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the company’s success for the benefit of its key stakeholders as a whole.

EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Eyre & Elliston Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 September 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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). In our opinion the financial statements: ∙give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 September 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 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.
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. Page 7
EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Other information
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.
Opinion 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and ∙the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report 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 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. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 5, 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 is 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. Page 8
EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Auditor's 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 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. 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: 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 team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify and recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; ∙through discussions with the directors and other management and from our commercial knowledge, we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company; and ∙focusing on the specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, we assessed the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting relevant correspondence. We assessed the susceptibility of the company'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 or 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; ∙considered journal entries during the year to identify unusual transactions; ∙assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the 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; ∙considering relationships with HMRC, other relevant regulators and the company’s legal advisors; and ∙reviewing legal and professional costs and of incident log to identify any indicators of litigation. Page 9
EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED (CONTINUED) Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FinancialReporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's Report.
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 an Auditor's Report 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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 3). The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
| 2.2 | Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": ∙the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; ∙the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d); ∙the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c); ∙the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A; ∙the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.

EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.4 | Revenue recognition
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover 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 turnover is recognised: Sale of goods Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer.
| 2.5 | Cost of sales
Cost of sales consists of all costs to the point of sale, including warehouse and transportation costs, and all costs of operating distribution outlets, net of discounts on purchases.
| 2.6 | Operating leases: the company as lessee
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
| 2.7 | Pensions
The company participates in the group's defined contribution pension plan for its employees. 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 balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from those of the company in independently administered funds.
| 2.8 | Current and deferred taxation
The current tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet 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; and - 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 balance sheet date.
| 2.9 | Interest income
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Page 15
EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.10 | Tangible fixed assets
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. Depreciation rates used are:
|  |  |  | Freehold property | - | 2% straight line
|  |  |  | Long-term leasehold property | - | straight line over the period of the lease
|  |  |  | Motor vehicles | - | 20% straight line
|  |  |  | Fixtures and fittings | - | various rates between 10% & 25% straight line, or 16.67% reducing balance
Freehold land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate their cost, less residual values, over their estimated useful lives. 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.
| 2.11 | Investment property
Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by external valuers and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
| 2.12 | Valuation of investments
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
| 2.13 | 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 weighted average basis. At each balance sheet 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.
| 2.14 | Debtors
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Page 16
EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.15 | Creditors
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
| 2.16 | 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.
| 2.17 | Financial instruments
The company has only basic financial instruments that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors and loans to or from related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. Financial assets, being trade and other debtors and amounts due from group companies, are originally recognised at the transaction price and are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, subject to any impairment losses. Financial liabilities, being trade and other creditors, are originally recognised at the transaction price and are subsequently carried at the amounts expected to be needed to settle the liability.
| 2.18 | 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. Page 17
EYRE & ELLISTON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
3. | Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that will have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows: Stock provisioning The company holds a wide range of stock, some of which is subject to changing customer demands, sometimes dictated by regulatory changes, and fashion trends. As a result it is necessary to consider the recoverability of the cost of stock and the associated provisioning required. When calculating the stock provision, management considers the nature and condition of the stock, as well as applying assumptions around its anticipated future saleability. See note 16 for the net carrying amount of stock, stated after the associated provision. Impairment of debtors The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors, and historical experience. See note 17 for the net carrying amounts of debtors, stated after the associated impairment provision. Page 18
