STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Introduction
 
The directors present their strategic report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Review of the business
 
The company’s principal activities during the year continued to be the manufacture and distribution of domestic furnishings.

The company’s key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows:

Average number of employees

145
(3%)

Turnover increased in 2025 by 12% when compared with 2024. The increase in turnover is driven predominantly by increased sales revenue through the Contract sales channel with new sites and business gained throughout the year. In addition, Retail revenue increased being predominantly driven by increased sales revenue through one major retailer following successfully winning back business that was initially lost in 2017 through a tender process.

2025 delivered an increase in EBITDA to £2m compared to the 2024 EBITDA of £0.9m with the increase driven by the increase in sales revenue. 
 
Shareholders’ funds increased by 38% due to the profit for the year.  The company’s ‘quick ratio’ (current assets as a percentage of current liabilities), increased to 136% (2024: 109%).

There was a decrease in the number of employees during the year from 145 in 2024 to 140 in 2025. 

The products manufactured and sold by the company have minimal environmental impact. However, the board believes in good environmental practice as a matter of principle. Additionally, the company will benefit from such practice in terms of its reputation of the company. Consequently, the company continues to put environmental responsibilities high on the agenda.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the company are outlined below;
 
Exchange rates and commodity prices

The directors consider that exchange rates and commodity prices are the two main factors that they are unable to control that may impact on the profitability of the business. However, having considered the impact of these matters as part of our forecasting process, we do not expect any fluctuations in these areas to have a material impact upon the profitability of the business. The business has demonstrated over recent years its ability to pass on any cost increases driven by changes in these factors, to its customers in the form of price increases. We also have a policy of forward foreign exchange contracts on a rolling 6 month basis that allows time for customer price increases to be secured.  
 
Competitive risk

The directors do not consider the competitive risk of the business to be any greater than would normally be expected for a company operating in an open market environment.

Risk surrounding interest rates

Interest rates ended 2024 at 4.75% and have been subsequently cut further throughout 2025 to the current level of 3.75%.  However as high interest rates over the last few years have driven up mortgage and loan rates and impacted consumer spending on big ticket items, despite the small cuts over the last 12 months, interest rates are forecast to increase again before the end of the year driven by inflationary pressures and global energy prices.  Therefore, when assessing the impact of this on the business, the Directors have been conservative within their forecasts, reflecting increased costs, the impact on overheads and lower demand for our product reflected within underlying volumes.  

Credit, liquidity and cash flow risk

This is the risk that the company will not be able to meet its financial liabilities as they fall due. The business produces and monitors short term and long term cashflow forecasts, to ensure that if a potential liquidity risk existed appropriate action could be taken in advance to avoid such a situation.  Credit risk is managed by only offering credit terms to those customers who meet internal requirements relating to payment history and creditworthiness.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 for the Company's financial statements 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 to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006They 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.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Future developments

In 2025 the business experienced an increase in year on year Retail and Distribution volumes predominantly driven by the growth within a large nationwide retailer following successfully winning back business that was initially lost in 2017 through a tender process.   Despite a decline in new house sales, the Contract channel also delivered significant growth driven by new customers and increased business wins year on year. Gross margins remained in line with the prior year.

The Board reviews medium and long term plans at regular intervals, normally twice yearly, however more if the environment is volatile. Key to the businesses successful future is sales growth in its existing products and channels to market but also in growing its product offering. In recent years Home Decor began manufacturing and installing Hinged Wardrobes for a large Newbuild contract with these new products now also launched within a major Retail customer and in its own direct to consumer channel in addition to the offering of a home installation service.  Home Decor has also now developed a free standing wardrobe range, with both a sliding and hinged door offering, to a stage where this is being proactively targeted at new distributors within this category who do not want to enter the fitted bedroom category.

Financial instruments

The company’s financial instruments comprise cash and liquid resources, bank loans and various items, such as trade receivables and trade payables that arise directly from its operations. The company also uses foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate its exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide working capital for the company’s operations.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Going concern

The Directors have considered the basis of preparation of the statutory financial statements in line with the requirements of the guidelines issued by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) in February 2025. After a review of the business, the business plan and risks and sensitivities around the plan the directors have concluded that the business is a going concern, and the statutory financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis. 

The Directors have considered forecasts for the business until 31 July 2027 (“the going concern period”). These forecasts include key assumptions regarding future sales growth and anticipated cost increases. The expectation is that any increases in labour and other costs will be passed on through customer price increases, as has already been demonstrated previously. 

As part of the consideration of forecasts for the business until 31 July 2027 sensitivities have been applied, designed to model potential plausible downside scenarios where economic uncertainty causes a reduction in sales and global instability results in increased costs.  For example, a potential plausible downside scenario has been considered, reducing overall volumes by 10% for the remainder of 2026 and the full year 2027 resulting in an overall reduction in sales revenue of 6% versus the 2026 forecast and 10% versus the 2027 forecast.  In addition, margins have been reduced by 1% for the remainder of 2026 and the full year 2027 resulting in a reduction in overall margin of 0.6% versus the 2026 forecast and 1% versus the 2027 forecast.  

Throughout the going concern period, sufficient headroom levels are maintained under this potential plausible downside scenario, and the Directors believe the business will continue to operate throughout the going concern period. 

The budgets and forecasts assume that the invoice discounting arrangements in Home Decor GB Limited continue in place in the normal course of business, and the Directors consider there to be no significant level of uncertainty relating to the continued availability of such invoice discounting arrangements. The invoice discounting arrangement and other uncommitted credit facilities do not have a termination date but having passed the latest annual review date in February 2026, these facilities will be subject to a further annual review during the going concern period, which is scheduled in February 2027. The invoice discounting arrangement has a three month notice period by which either party and the other uncommitted credit facilities are repayable on demand as per the standard terms of such financing arrangements. The directors confirm that they expect that these financing arrangements will remain in place as required throughout the going concern period and beyond as they are long standing banking facilities. 

Having carefully considered the base case and plausible downside scenario, in conjunction with the current trading performance since the year-end date; and the group’s financing arrangements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence throughout the going concern period. Therefore, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Qualifying third party indemnity provisions

The directors have been granted a qualifying third party indemnity provision under section 234 of the Companies Act 2006. This indemnity does not provide cover in the event of a director acting fraudulently or dishonestly.

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

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HOME DECOR GB LIMITED (CONTINUED)

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 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 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 or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
through discussions with the directors and other management and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the clients business, 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 and alleged fraud; and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulation.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; reviewed journal entries 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 and other relevant regulators; and
reviewing legal and professional costs to identify any indicators of litigation.

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.

 
Page 11

 
HOME DECOR GB LIMITED
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HOME DECOR GB LIMITED (CONTINUED)

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 Auditors' 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 2006Our 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 Auditors' 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

1.


General information

Home Decor GB Limited is a private company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales (registered number: 05268170). Its registered office is Innovation Way, Woodhouse Mill, Sheffield, S13 9AD. The principal activity of the Company throughout the year continued to be that of the manufacture and distribution of domestic furnishings.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

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 the 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.

This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of HD Holdings II Limited as at 31/12/2025 and these financial statements may be obtained from Companies House.

 
2.3

Going concern

Overall at the reporting date the Company had net assets, however it has an overdrawn profit and loss account at the same date.

The directors have considered the basis of preparation of the statutory financial statements in line with the requirements of the guidelines issued by the Financial Reporting Council in February 2025. After a review of the business, the business plan, and risks and sensitivities around the plan, the directors have concluded that the business is a going concern and the statutory financial statements should be prepared on this basis.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

 
2.5

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that the Company obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, and VAT.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on dispatch of the goods, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity, and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

 
2.6

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 
2.7

Leased assets: the Company as lessee

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.8

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 Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.9

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. 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 balance sheet 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 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.

2.10

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over its useful economic life.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

 The estimated useful lives range as follows:

Acquired computer software
-
3
years

 
2.11

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.

The estimated useful lives range as follows:

Long-term leasehold property
-
over the term of the lease
Plant and machinery
-
straight line over 2-10 years

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.

2.12

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 costs.

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.

 
2.13

Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments

The company enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as bank and cash balances, trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to and from related parties.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at the transaction price and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an 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.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include:

Stock provisions:

The directors make estimates based on experience regarding the level of  provisioning required against slow moving and obsolete stock items, in order to state inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Recognition of deferred tax assets:

The Company is subject to UK corporation tax and judgement is required in determining the provision for income and deferred taxation. The Company recognises tax related assets and liabilities based on estimates and assessment of likely outcomes of future events. Defered tax assets are only 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. At 31 December 2025 the Company has recognised a deferred tax asset consisting of the tax effect of timing differences in respect of the excess of taxation allowances over depreciation upon fixed assets of £223,023 (2024: £257,528); other timing differences of £6,000 (2024: £6,000); and losses of £NIL (2024: £18,821) on the basis that they will be suitably utilised in future periods.
