The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the period 1 November 2024 to 7 November 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The group continues to offer a full range of ethical waste disposal, supplying, quality construction materials, providing transport services including grab lorries, skip hire and an extensive fleet of skip and waste collection services.

The results of the group show an operating profit of £69,975 on a turnover of £9,812,781.

Business Environment

The group has performed well in difficult circumstances absorbing extra costs due to geopolitical influences and again a very wet winter. Our plan is very much on target and having invested heavily in the business in order to get back to growth we are delighted that the investment is now bearing fruit.

This growth comes from our brands reputation for service and is being seen in every facet of our services. Our waste division continuing to grow impressively, tipper, grabs and our recycling division are all very much on the up with our pipeline looking full for the 2025/26 financial period.

The addition of our new wash-plant in a previous period is now contributing to this growth after what was a relatively long commissioning period. It is an important strategic move increasing throughput and our recycling efficiency.

It is our aim to repeat double figure percentage growth again for the 2025/26 financial period. We have incurred some 'exceptional' one-off re-financing costs in the period that affected profit.

The overall business investment has seen replacement of 50% of our truck fleet and a 30% increase in skip bins to fuel our ambitions for our recycling businesses success. We have returned to highway, utility sourced business and the relationships have continued to increase revenue and opportunities this financial period.

Our customers are growing and very loyal. We pride ourselves on service and are constantly tweaking these areas too.

Strategy

The group is focussing on its key performance indicators in all areas including logistics, investment returns, sales and marketing, recovery days and efficiencies across the board. The investment will not stop, with a new CRM system, electronic weighbridge upgrade and increases in production through the wash-plant and efficiencies over all of the many business channels.

The key elements are thus:

- Broadening the product range

- Efficiency in terms of trips and logistics

- Solid reporting and KPI analysis including SWOT analysis

- Investment

- Good recruiting where necessary

Future Outlook

The 2025/26 financial period has been a busy one already and we are confident that the company has returned to the high standards of reliable financial performance which its renowned for as we continue trading.

In essence, the business is climbing back to its previous heights with old business channels reopened, new business channels opening and existing expanding rapidly. Our forecasts are strong as we enter into the really profitable months of the Summer.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The director is acutely aware of the tough business environment that the group operates in. The director has been continuing to strengthen across all departments and is highly accountable to each of their teams. Information flow is much clearer, new channels of work identified and in some cases new ideas bringing greater performance and logistical economies.

The director is confident that they have done everything possible to mitigate most risks associated with the uncertain environment all UK businesses operate in but are comforted in the knowledge that the current UK trading picture is not isolated as they look across to the Continent and beyond.

The management do look at risks to the business and they review them regularly and the key risks identified are as below:

Competition

It is a very competitive market and so an eye is always on margin when prospecting for work. Not being the cheapest in the market does have a risk but this is countered by excellent service levels. Operating on the customer experience is key and fulfilling orders promptly is a KPI that is carefully watched. We also review the state of the current competition. It's a constant process. We are focusing less on an expanded area but trying to minimise costs by keeping it at a local level and this is working well.

Employee

The director realises that they are not going to achieve the excellence that the company is capable of without a well-trained and dedicated team. Team meetings are regular because of the threat to the group of departures that materially affect a section. The director and team are compensated for their loyalty, skill and dedication but are acutely aware of areas where there may be a single point of failure and are equipped to respond accordingly.

Supply Chain

The group has a diverse range of suppliers due to the stock range. They are also exposed to external threats and so the group always has in mind alternatives for this purpose. The group has been very fortunate to have great suppliers for decades and the relationships are kept strong. Insurance is kept in place for eventualities as indeed it is for the group's activities.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

We have made significant progress in the year on the group's overriding objective and elements of our strategy for growth. The board monitors progress on the overall strategy and the individual strategic elements by reference to our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Performance during the period, together with historical trend data is set out in the table below:

DIRECTOR

M R Howard held office during the whole of the period from 1 November 2024 to the date of this report.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES

The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is 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 director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group 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 director is aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and he 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 group's auditors are aware of that information.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

M R Howard - Director

29 July 2026

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Waltet Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the period ended 7 November 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 7 November 2025 and of the group's loss for the period 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 group 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 director's 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 group's and the parent 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

-	the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director 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 group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Director.

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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-	the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

-	certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or

-	we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of director

As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page five, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is responsible for assessing the group's and the parent 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 director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the group and the parent company, and the industry in which it operates. These include but are not limited to compliance with the Companies Act 2006, UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and the relevant tax compliance regulations for the company.

- We obtained an understanding of how the group and the parent company is complying with these frameworks through discussions with management.

- We enquired with management whether there were any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or whether they had knowledge of actual or suspected fraud. These enquiries are corroborated through follow-up audit procedures including but not limited to a review of legal and professional costs and correspondence.

- We assessed the susceptibility of the group and the parent company financial statements to material misstatement, including the risk of fraud and management override of controls. We designed our audit procedures to respond to this assessment, including the identification and testing of any related party transactions and the testing of journal transactions that arise from management estimates, that are determined to be of significant value or unusual in their nature.

- We assessed the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team, including consideration of the engagement team's knowledge and understanding of the industry in which the group and the parent company operates in, and their practical experience through training and participation with audit engagements of a similar nature.

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.

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.
