The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The financial year ended 31 December 2025 was characterised by continued challenging trading conditions across the UK market. Demand remained subdued, influenced by ongoing economic uncertainty, elevated customer inventory levels and a wider sectoral slowdown. Activity within the UK construction sector also weakened during the year, affecting several customer segments and contributing to delays in project schedules. These conditions resulted in a lower level of turnover compared with the preceding year.

Despite the softer market environment, the company maintained operational resilience, with gross profit performance remaining broadly consistent with the prior year. This was achieved through disciplined cost control, improvements in internal processes and continued investment in after-sales support, assembly capability and warehousing efficiency.

Overall profitability was affected by reduced sales volumes and increased operating costs, leading to a modest loss for the year. The company's financial position remained stable, supported by effective management of working capital and a year end balance sheet that continued to show a strong asset base.

During the year, the company transitioned into a new organisational structure, which included changes to the management team aligning leadership with the company's future strategic objectives.

Although trading conditions are expected to remain demanding, the company enters 2026 with a solid order book and several new projects scheduled to move into serial production. While construction related activity is expected to remain subdued in the early part of the year, the company anticipates steady demand across its core industrial and automation markets. Management will continue to monitor economic developments closely and remains committed to operational efficiency, strong customer support and the ongoing pursuit of sustainable growth. Planned improvements to operational processes, supply chain coordination and customer specific programmes are expected to contribute positively to overall performance in the year ahead.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The company continues to manage financial risks through structured policies aimed at mitigating exposure to credit, liquidity, and foreign exchange risks.

CREDIT RISK

Bonfiglioli U.K. enforces strict credit control procedures, ensuring that appropriate credit assessments are conducted before engaging with new customers.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The company maintains a balanced mix of medium and short-term debt finance to ensure sufficient funding is available for operational needs.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

While Bonfiglioli U.K.'s primary operations are based in the United Kingdom, it remains exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations, particularly in relation to sales and purchases denominated in Euro. The company continues to operate a Euro-denominated bank account to mitigate currency risk.

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:

L F Bovis - Director

20 March 2026

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Bonfiglioli U.K. Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' (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 loss 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.

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 three, 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.

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

As part of our planning process:

- We enquired of management the systems and controls the company has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are mostly susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud.

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company. We determined that the following were most relevant: FRS 101, Companies Act 2006, health and safety, and direct and indirect tax compliance..

- We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the company, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.

- Using our knowledge of the company, together with the discussions held with the company at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.

The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:

- Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual.

- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied.

- Reviewing and challenging the assumptions and judgements used by management in their significant accounting estimates.

- Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations in particular those that are central to the entities ability to continue in operation.

- Testing key revenue lines, in particular cut-off, for evidence of management bias.

- Obtaining third-party confirmation of material bank balances.

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.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In applying the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carry amounts of assets and liabilities. The directors' judgements, estimates and and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence at the time when the decisions are made, and on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates and assumptions the actual results and outcomes may differ.

In preparing these financial statements the directors have made judgements and estimates:

- in determining whether there are any indicators of impairment of the company's tangible fixed assets. Factors taken into account in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the assets;

- in determining the residual values and useful economic lives of the tangible fixed assets. The company depreciates tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives. For right of use assets, they are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. The estimation of the useful lives of assets is based upon historic performance as well as expectations about future use. Assumptions are necessary regarding possible technological changes and maintenance programmes which can affect the actual lives of the assets; and

- in determining the recoverability of debtors and stocks. The company establishes a provision for debtors that are estimated to be irrecoverable and for stocks which are not expected to realise at least cost. When addressing the recoverability the directors consider factors such as the ageing of items, past experience and current information regarding the asset.

- in determining the provision for potential warranty costs. The provision is calculated on the best estimate of expected future warranty costs, considering factors such as historic fault and replacements rates.

Revenue recognition

With reference to IFRS15 applied by the Company, Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. 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 despatch of the goods. Interest income is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to it carrying amount.

Tangible fixed assets

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost comprises of the amount paid and the fair value of other considerations to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value based on prices prevailing at the date of acquisition, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows

Tangible Asset

Useful Life

Plant and machinery

From 4 to 10 years

Industrial and commercial equipment

From 4 to 10 years

Other tangible assets

From 4 to 10 years

Assets in progress and advances

No depreciation

Right to use tangible assets

Over the lease duration

Leasehold improvements

Shorter between the residual life of the related asset and the lease duration.

The carrying value of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Useful lives and residual value are reviewed annually, and adjustments made if required.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the derecognition of the asset is included in the income statement in the period of derecognition

Trade receivables

Trade receivables have 30 to 90 days credit terms depending on the contract and are carried at the lower of their original invoiced value and recoverable amount.

IFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss (ECL) model to be applied to the financial assets rather than the incurred credit loss model required under IAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires the company to account for expected losses as a result of credit risk on initial recognition of financial assets and to recognise changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date. The trade receivables and amounts due from fellow group and subsidiary companies are measured using the simplified approach.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making allowances for obsolete and slow-moving items.

Raw materials, consumables and goods for resale - valued using moving average price.

Work in progress - cost of direct materials and labour plus attributable finished goods overheads based on normal level of activity.

Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less any further costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by 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.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in Financial Statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

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.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange at the statement of financial position 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.

Leases

Where the Company is the lessee, a lease liability equal to the present value outstanding lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset equal to cost are initially recognised. The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the length of the lease term. Depreciation on lease assets and interest on lease liabilities is recognised in the Income Statement.

The Company has made use of the election available under IFRS 16 to not recognise any amounts on the Balance Sheet associated with leases that are either deemed to be short term, or where the underlying asset is of low value. A short-term lease in this context is defined as any arrangement which has a lease term of 12 months or less. Lease payments associated with such arrangements are recognised in the Income Statement as an expense on a straight-line basis. The Company's total short term and low value lease portfolio is not material.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the pension scheme company are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Based on internal forecasts and projections considering severe and plausible downside scenarios, prepared for the period to 31st March 2026 that take in to account the principal risks and uncertainties facing the business and reasonably possible changes in the company's trading performance, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the going concern basis has continued to be adopted in the preparation of the financial statements.

Provision for liabilities

A provision is recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

When the company expects some or all of the provision to be reimbursed the original accounting adjustment will be reversed.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits that are immediately available. Cash equivalents are deposits with an original maturity of 3 months or less.
