| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| for the Year Ended 31 OCTOBER 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 October 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The company's principal activity is that of specialist suppliers of sound and thermal insulation technology products. |
| Turnover and net profit before tax have decreased this year by 16% and 10% respectively. Despite the difficult trading conditions in the housing market, the company's financial position has remained strong throughout the year. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The company's activities are entirely within the construction and civil engineering industry. The company's products are sold to a large number of customers through both direct and indirect channels. The loss of any major customer is seen as a potential risk but the directors are confident that, in the light of the company's continuing product development, any lost sales would soon be replaced. |
| Where it is practicable and cost-effective to do so, the company insures against normal commercial risks, notably in the areas of public liability and employer's liability. |
| The risks to which the company is exposed are continually monitored by the directors, and steps are taken to mitigate and manage those risks where it is considered reasonable and practicable to do so. |

| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 November 2024 to the date of this report. |
| FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
| The Company's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks including credit risk and liquidity risk. The Directors are responsible for managing these risks to ensure the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes, and therefore has no formal hedge accounting policy. |
| Credit Risk |
| The Company's principal financial assets are bank balances and trade debtors. Credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debtors. The Company manages this risk by having bad debt protection cover through the factoring company and ensuring that credit limits are appropriate. |
| Liquidity Risk |
| The Company manages its liquidity risk to ensure it can meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Company monitors its cash flow forecasts to ensure adequate working capital is available. |
| Price Risk and Cash Flow Risk |
| The Company is not currently exposed to significant price risk or cash flow risk arising from market fluctuations in commodity prices or interest rates. |

| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| for the Year Ended 31 OCTOBER 2025 |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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). 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 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 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. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| THERMAL ECONOMICS LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Thermal Economics Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 October 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, 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 31 October 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 Auditors' 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 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| 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. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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. |
| Opinions 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 Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| THERMAL ECONOMICS LIMITED |
| 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 Report of the Directors. |
| 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 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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. |
| 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |
| Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). The more removed the laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
| In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
| - | A part of the audit planning process was to look at each area of the financial statements and ascertain the level of risk for each applicable audit assertion. Where an increased risk was identified, specific audit work was designed to ensure those risks were at the forefront of the audit work carried out. |
| - | During the audit planning process, important laws and regulations applying to the company were identified by making enquiries of management in addition to our own checks of the laws and regulations applying to a business of this nature. |
| - | An audit team planning meeting was held which communicated areas of identified risks and considered possible opportunities for fraud within the company. |
| - | The engagement partner assessed the experience and abilities of the engagement team to ensure they were collectively competent to identify irregularities. |
| - | All risks identified at the planning stage and the related audit work were reviewed and results considered to confirm that no irregularities had been identified. |
| - | Our audit has included a review of the disclosures in the financial statements and comparison of those disclosures with the results of our audit work to identify any disparities. |
| - | Analytical review of the financial statements has been undertaken at both the planning and completion stages of the audit to identify risks of irregularities and the results of the audit work carried out on those areas of risks. |
| 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 Report of the Auditors. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| THERMAL ECONOMICS LIMITED |
| 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |

| 3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Turnover |
| The company's turnover represents the value, excluding value added tax, of goods and services supplied to customers during the year. Revenue is recognised at the point when the goods or services have been supplied to the customer and a right to consideration arises therefrom. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life. |
| Freehold property - 2% on cost |
| Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance |
| No depreciation is provided on freehold land. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, on a FIFO basis, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Financial instruments |
| The company has chosen to adopt Section 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
| Basic financial assets and liabilities, including trade and other debtors, bank balances, trade and other creditors are recognised at cost. |
| The company utilises a debt factoring facility without recourse. Trade debtors are derecognised from the balance sheet upon formal assignment to the factoring providers, as substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. Cash collected by the factor provider but not drawn down from the provider is treated as cash or cash equivalent.There were no liabilities to the factor provider at the year end. |
| Derivatives, including time option forward foreign currency contracts, are not basic financial instruments. |
| Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised through profit and loss. |

| Taxation |
| Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. it is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences. Deferred tax on non-depreciable tangible fixed assets and investment properties is measured using the rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset. |
| Research and development |
| Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
| Foreign currencies |
| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| 4. | TURNOVER |
| The turnover and profit before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the company, being the sale of goods, and operates within a single geographical market, being the United Kingdom. |

| 10. | PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT |
| During the year, management identified that a balance of £1,225,809 relating to the prior year had been incorrectly classified within other debtors rather than cash at bank. |
| This error has been corrected by reducing other debtors and increasing cash at bank by £1,225,809. This change represents a reclassification between balance sheet asset lines only; it has no impact on the reported profit, net assets or tax position for the prior year. |
| Impact on statement of cash flows: The restatement increases the reported closing balance of cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations for the comparative year by £1,225,809. There is no net impact on the total investing or financing cash flows previously reported. |
