STRATEGIC REPORT
for the financial year ended 31 December 2025

 
The directors present their strategic report on the company for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.
 
Review of the Company's Business
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31st December 2025.
       
Development and Performance

The company is well positioned to capitalise on sustained demand for its products and services, supporting continued growth and development. The ongoing expansion of the nitrogen pump rental fleet, together with the enhancement of integrated service offerings, has delivered strong results and will continue to underpin the business going forward. As part of the global Suretank Group, the company benefits from the strength and resources of an international network.

The company maintains a strong OEM reputation in liquid nitrogen and fluid pumps, reinforcing its position in the market. The mechanical servicing and parts division also performed well during the year across multiple sectors, including oil and gas, wind and power generation, with this momentum expected to continue into 2026, supported by consistent demand and utilisation.

Whilst a significant proportion of revenue remains linked to the energy sector and is therefore exposed to fluctuations in global markets, customer confidence remains strong. This reflects the company’s in-house technical capability, proven track record and differentiated multi-brand offering, positioning the business for continued growth, underpinned by further rental fleet expansion and sustained high levels of service activity.

       
Financial Key Performance Indicators

Turnover for the company for the year ended 31st December 2025 was £18.4m (2024: £15.5m), representing growth of approximately 18.8% year on year. This indicates an increase in sales activity and suggests that the company successfully expanded its revenue base during the period.

The profit for the financial year after taxation amounted to £655,216 (2024 - £320,551).

Gross Profit Margin: Gross profit margin improved from 22.18% in 2024 to 24.99% in 2025, demonstrating that the company generated a higher profit from each euro of sales.

Net Profit Margin: Net profit margin increased from 2.06% to 3.55%, indicating that a larger proportion of turnover was converted into profit after all operating and financing costs. This improvement reflects enhanced overall profitability and suggests that the company's earnings performance strengthened during 2025.

Debtors days: The average collection period increased from 45 days to 57 days, showing that the company took approximately 12 days longer to collect amounts owed by customers in 2025.

Creditors days: The number of days taken to pay suppliers increased from 46.07 days in 2024 to 52.80 days in 2025, indicating that the company is taking longer to settle trade payables. This may support short-term cash flow management but could place pressure on supplier relationships if payment terms are exceeded.

Debt Ratio: The debt ratio increased from 65.94% to 66.23%, indicating that approximately two-thirds of the company's assets continue to be financed through liabilities.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
             

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law) including FRS 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 and 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.
                 

Disclosure of Information to Auditor

Each persons who are directors at the date of approval of this report confirms that:

In so far as the directors are aware:

-there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the company's auditor in connection with preparing the auditor's report) of which the company's auditor is unaware, and

-the directors have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.

     
Auditors
The auditors, FLC Frank Lynch & Co., (Chartered Certified Accountants) have indicated their willingness to continue in office in accordance with the provisions of Section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
to the Shareholders of Prior Power Solutions Limited

 
Report on the audit of the financial statements
 
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Prior Power Solutions Limited ('the company') for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses, the Balance Sheet, the Reconciliation of Shareholders' Funds, the Cash Flow Statement and the related notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies set out in note . The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable Law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 financial 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 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 the date 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 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 our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.
 
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
- 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 for the financial statements
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 they 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 has no realistic alternative but to do so.
 
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:
 

Procedures to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities relating to fraud

In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, we considered the nature of the entity, its control environment and the applicable legal and regulatory framework. Our audit procedures included enquiries of management, review of relevant documentation, testing of journal entries and consideration of accounting estimates for evidence of management bias. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements arising from fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations may not be detected, particularly where there is collusion, forgery, deliberate omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.

 
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is contained in the appendix to this report, located at page , which is to be read as an integral part of our 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.

APPENDIX TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Further information regarding the scope of our responsibilities as auditor
 
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
 
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
 
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control.
 
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
 
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditor's Report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditor's Report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.
 
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
 
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Prior Power Solutions Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 31 December 2025

   
1. General Information
 

Prior Power Solutions Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in the United Kingdom. Gapton Hall Road, Gapton Hall Industrial Estate, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England is the registered office, which is also the principal place of business of the company. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£) which is also the functional currency of the company.

Prior Power Solutions Limited is the leading provider of specialised products and services to the oil and gas, marine, renewables, power generation, mining, industrial and construction industries.

         
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the company's financial statements.
 
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued by the Financial Reporting Council and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
 
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
 
Turnover
Revenue is recognised when control of goods or services passes to the customer and is measured at the amount expected to be received. Revenue from the sale of parts and manufactured products is recognised on delivery to the customer. Revenue from bespoke engineering and fabrication contracts is recognised over time where performance obligations are satisfied as work progresses, based on the stage of completion. Rental income from hire assets is recognised on a straight-line basis over the rental period.
 
Going concern

In preparing the financial statements, the Directors have considered the going concern position. The Company primarily meets its day to day working capital requirements through cashflows generated from operating activities, together with loans provided by related parties within the Group. In December 2023 the company refinanced its loan facility with HSBC to a total that amounted to £1,600,000 repayable in 5 years. The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis provided that the loan will be fully repaid by due date or successfully refinanced.

Having regard to the factors noted above, the directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the forseeable future, being at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

 
Tangible assets and depreciation
Tangible assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of other consideration given to acquire an asset, or incurred in producing or delivering goods or services. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:
 
  Land and buildings freehold - 4% Straight line
  Plant and machinery - 15% Straight line (Plant & Machinery), 10% Straight line (Rental Assets)
  Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 15% Straight line
  Motor vehicles - 20% Straight line
  ERP-CRM - 15% Straight line
 
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually for impairment in periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
 
Leasing
Rentals payable under operating leases are dealt with in the Profit and Loss Account as incurred over the period of the rental agreement.
 
Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Stocks are determined on a first-in first-out basis. Cost comprises expenditure incurred in the normal course of business in bringing stocks to their present location and condition.  Full provision is made for obsolete and slow moving items. Net realisable value comprises actual or estimated selling price (net of trade discounts) less all further costs to completion or to be incurred in marketing and selling.

Work in progress is stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads attributable to the stage of completion. Provision is made where necessary for foreseeable losses and for work where the net realisable value is estimated to be lower than cost.

 
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
 
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs relating to the acquisition of assets are capitalised at the appropriate rate by adding them to the cost of assets being acquired. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on the assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
 
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the same value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
 
Trade and other creditors
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
 
Employee benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund.
 
Taxation and deferred taxation

Current tax represents the amount expected to be paid or recovered in respect of taxable profits for the financial year and is calculated using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future. Timing differences are temporary differences between the company‘s taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are anticipated to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date.

 
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. The resulting exchange differences are dealt with in the Profit and Loss Account.
 
Ordinary share capital
The ordinary share capital of the company is presented as equity.
   
3. Critical Accounting Judgements and Estimates
 
The directors consider the accounting estimates and assumptions below to be its critical accounting judgements and estimates:
 
Work in progress
The valuation of work in progress requires management to estimate the stage of completion of bespoke engineering and fabrication projects, together with the costs required to complete those projects. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates and could affect the value of work in progress recognised at the reporting date.
 
Accrued Income
Accrued income is recognised in respect of work performed but not yet invoiced and requires management to estimate the value of work completed and the recoverability of the amounts recognised. Changes in the assessment of contract progress or customer acceptance could result in adjustments to the amounts recognised.
       
4. Turnover
 
The whole of the company's turnover is attributable to its market in the United Kingdom and is derived from the principal activity of providing specialised products and services to the oil and gas, marine, renewables, power generation, mining, industrial and construction industries.
