GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

for the year ended 30 November 2025

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 November 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The principal activity of the group is the manufacture and distribution of hygiene products.

The group distributes hygiene products into three distinct sectors; retail groups into the UK and Europe, UK distributors to the hospitality and professional cleaning trade and animal healthcare products for the UK and export market.

The group consists of the holding company, two trading companies, The Coventry Group Ltd and Coventry Chemicals Ltd and five dormant subsidiaries Mirius Ltd, Mirius Holdings Ltd, Mirius Group Ltd, Mirius Global Hygiene Solutions Ltd, and Coventry Chemicals (Ireland) Ltd.

The Group made a profit before tax of £2,468k for the year (2024: £4,403k). At the year end, the Group had net assets of £943k (2024: £2,179k) and net current liabilities of £2,019k (2024: £853k).

The Company made a profit for the financial year of £2,660k (2024: loss of £423k). At the year end, the Company had net assets of £2,840k (2024: £2,960k) and net current liabilities of £913k (2024: £793k).

The directors monitor earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and one-off costs (the Internal EBITDA) as a key measure of performance. Based upon the trading results of the current year to date the directors are confident of a continuation of profitable trading for FY26.

The main trading company within the group, Coventry Chemicals Limited, holds the British Retail Consortium (BRC) accreditation at Grade AA, a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) license as well as its SEDEX registration and is SMETA compliant to this global standard for ethical working practices. In addition, the Company has Responsibly Sourced Pine Oil (RSPO) accreditation, ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications and the ECOVADIS bronze sustainability grade.

These are highly regarded and widely acknowledged approvals continue to support the Company's business growth and development.

During the year ABN Amro, who provide the group with loan and working capital facilities announced that they were withdrawing from the UK asset-based lending market and gave five months notice to the group to refinance these facilities. During this transition, whilst retaining substantial headroom, the property based loan was repaid out of existing facilities in February 2025 providing an unencumbered property asset with a market value of £1.7m. Following an extensive tender process, improved working capital facilities were successfully agreed and transferred to Barclays Bank plc in April 2025

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

for the year ended 30 November 2025

Future prospects

The directors expect the business to face a number of challenges in the next year driven by factors beyond their control; unresolved conflicts in eastern Europe and the Middle East, uncertainty generated by the volatility of worldwide tariff levels, high energy costs and elevated interest rates. Whilst these factors have the potential for an adverse impact on trading the directors believe that management is experienced and agile enough to meet these challenges and take advantage of opportunities that may arise.

The directors have prepared profit and cashflow forecasts for the business until November 2027 based upon known factors and sensitised for possible risk factors. On the basis of these forecasts the directors believe that the business has sufficient resources to enable it to meet the challenges of the coming years, to grow profitably and to continue successfully in the future.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Management and the Board regularly review the risks facing the business.

The directors consider that the principal risk factors that could materially affect the future operating profits or financial position of the business are contract loss, credit risk and commodity price risk.

Contract loss

The business continues to spread the risk across diverse markets and customer sectors where possible. This strategy ensures that no one customer or sector threatens the business as a whole. A wide customer portfolio, a large geographic spread and a diverse market platform deliver security against this risk. The Board monitors performance across all sectors on a regular basis to mitigate concentration and risk.

Credit risk

The business is exposed to potential credit related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties related to its export activity and potential failure of UK based customers. The group's credit control policy has been established to monitor customer performance and identify variation against agreed terms of trade to mitigate against this risk. Credit insurance cover has been put in place for selected UK and overseas customers.

Commodity price risk

The business is exposed to changes in raw material prices, some of which are directly related to the price of oil and more broadly the cost of energy. There is generally no liquid or cost-effective market for direct trading of such exposures. Where liquid markets do exist there may not be an acceptable level of correlation with the price of our particular commodities and the oil futures market. The directors therefore do not believe it is appropriate to hedge against changes in oil price. The directors closely monitor the commodity prices and where possible pass increases through to the end user.

Liquidity and cash flow risk

The group has very good relationships with its funders, has adequate facilities to support its activities and operates with a prudent level of headroom.

The group holds financial instruments to finance its operations and manages risk arising from these operations and its sources of finance in accordance with its accounting policies. Working capital is funded, principally, by asset-based lending facilities.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT

The Board of Directors consider that, in the decisions taken during the year ended 30 November 2025, they have acted in a way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole, having regard to (amongst other matters):

- the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;

- the interests of the Group's employees;

- the need to foster the Group's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;

- the impact of the Group's operations on the community and the environment;

- the desirability of the Group maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct and

- the need to act fairly between members of the Group.

Our intention is to behave responsibly and ensure that management operate the business in a responsible manner, operating within the high standards of business conduct and good governance expected for a business such as ours.

Our section 172 statement summarises how the Board has factored stakeholder considerations into our decision-making.

Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Act) imposes a duty on a director to act in a way that he or she considers, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the long-term success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole. In doing so, the directors have regard to the various matters including the interests of stakeholders as well as various other matters. The Companies (Miscellaneous Reporting) Regulations 2018 require companies to report on how the Board has fulfilled the requirements of Section 172(1), including how the Board has factored stakeholder considerations into its decision-making.

The Board is fully aware of and supports these requirements. We are pleased to describe below how the Group's Board engages with our stakeholders.

The Group's key stakeholders have an important role to play in the successful operation of our business. Our Board are fully aware of, and take seriously, their responsibilities to those stakeholders under the Act.

We believe that it is appropriate to consider the potential impact on our stakeholders when considering the Group's strategy and in making our key decisions. Indeed, these responsibilities are rooted in our culture, values and Group purpose.

The Board considers that, in its decisions and actions to date, it has acted in a way that would promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole, while having regard to stakeholders and matters set out in Section 172(1) (a-f) of the Act. It has identified the Group's key stakeholders as our employees, customers, suppliers, the environment and communities in which we operate, and investors. It receives updates on each of these and takes steps to ensure that it remains well informed about them.

Our decisions are made to have a long-term beneficial impact on the Group and to contribute to the Group's success. Our decisions take into account the impact of the Group's operations on the community and environment, and our wider societal responsibilities. The Board has put in place a structured governance model, with scheduled Board meetings and clear documentation and authority levels to control its decision-making process. Our governance model supports the Group in ensuring that decisions are considered, documented and reported upon, and in alignment with our strategic plans. Detailed budgets and re-forecasts are prepared to enable the Board to track performance and ensure that it is as expected, or that mitigation steps are taken to deliver performance in line with, or close to, expectations. The Board and individual directors operate within this structure, with the aim of promoting the success of the company and delivering long-term shareholder value. Business proposals are documented in line with, and performance tracked against budgets and forecasts.

Ongoing investments in the business and the market share position of the Group position the business positively for the future.

Our employees are fundamental to the delivery of our plan. We aim to be a responsible employer in our approach to the pay and benefits our employees receive. The health, safety and well-being of our employees is one of our primary considerations in the way we do business. During the year, employees have been provided with information about the Group. Regular meetings are held between management and employees to allow a free flow of information.

We also aim to act responsibly and fairly in how we engage and co-operate with all of our other primary stakeholders - our suppliers, debt providers, and shareholders - all of whom are integral to the success of the Group.

During 2025 we have had regular face to face and online meetings with our key customers and suppliers. This allows us to successfully maintain and build on our relationships with them.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

for the year ended 30 November 2025

Continuation/Future Development

Price inflation is a key issue for our business and in 2026 we are seeing significant price increases from suppliers driven by the conflict in the Middle East and the effect on the supply chain on the closure of Strait of Hormuz. We will continue to discuss these inflationary pressures with our customers and pass them through to our customers in our product pricing where possible.

We believe that the markets that we trade in will remain challenging in the year ahead, but we are confident about the future. The loss of significant numbers of European workers from the UK following BREXIT and the difficulty in recruiting qualified experienced production engineers are both ongoing challenges, but nothing new. Both of these challenges are factored into our planning for the year ahead. As events unfold, we will respond, but we believe we are well positioned as a result of the market changes, which we believe will create new longer-term opportunities for us.

Environmental, Social and Governance Performance Management

Corporate responsibility is an integral part of our values. Our corporate responsibility strategy is underpinned by our commitment to the environment. Our aim is to continually reduce the impact we have on the environment in (i) the workplace; (ii) the marketplace; and (iii) in our community.

We currently:

- Work closely with our suppliers and customers to source and produce products that meet high environmental and social standards

- Are implementing our carbon emissions reduction plan

- Since April 2025, the Group has purchased electricity certified as being generated from 100% renewable sources.

- A significant proportion of our PET bottles are 100% rPET and we have plans in place to continue to move this to 100%.

- Use fully recyclable cardboard shipping boxes and paper tape for all orders

- Are actively seeking out better packaging solutions

- Recycle waste where possible

- Donate any unwanted stock to charities

- Fundraise for our nominated charity

- Operate an environmental management system certified to ISO 14001

In 2024 we joined a reforestation scheme and established the "Mirius Super Sapling Pledge". For every £1,000 our customers spend on a discrete range of products we will fund the planting of a tree in Madagascar. This makes a real difference to biodiversity, local livelihoods and provides a means of carbon capture throughout the lifetime of the tree. In 2025 we planted 5,145 trees (2024: 3,301 trees). A combined absorption of 7,602 tonnes of CO2 over the lifetime of these trees.

We encourage all our employees to get involved, whether that means raising money for charities, volunteering or enhancing our contribution to the environment.

STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING

The Group aims to minimise the lasting impact of its operations on the environment. We monitor closely our electricity, gas, and fuel usage. The following tables detail energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from the activities of the Group during the period December 2024 to November 2025. Our greenhouse gas emissions, reportable under SECR during the period specified above, were 745.6 tonnes CO2e. This figure has been calculated using the UK Government's most recent GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting (2025). This is in line with standard industry practice and allows fair comparison with other UK businesses.

This figure includes all the material Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, required to be disclosed by the specified legislation, plus additional Scope 3 emissions.

The following figures make up the baseline reporting for Group. Scope 1 consumption and emissions relate to direct combustion of natural gas, and fuels utilised for transportation operations, such as Group vehicle fleets. Scope 2 consumption and emissions relate to indirect emissions relating to the consumption of purchased electricity in day-to-day business operations. Scope 3 consumption and emissions relate to emissions resulting from sources not directly owned by the reporting company. For the Group, this is related to grey fleet (business travel undertaken in employee-owned vehicles) only.

The total consumption (kWh) figures for energy supplies reportable by the Group are as follows:

| 30 November |  | 30 November |  |

| 2025 |  | 2024 |  |

Utility and Scope |  | kWh |  | kWh |  |

Grid-Supplied Electricity (Scope 2) |  | 1,241,565 |  | 1,215,801 |  |

Gaseous and other fuels (Scope 1) |  | 3,226,801 |  | 2,932,047 |  |

Transportation (Scope 1 and 3) |  | 113,141 |  | 119,200 |  |

Total |  | 4,581,507 |  | 4,267,048 |  |

The total emission (tCO2e) figures for energy supplies reportable by the Group are as follows:

| 30 November |  | 30 November |  |

| 2025 |  | 2024 |  |

Utility and Scope |  | tCO2e |  | tCO2e |  |

Grid-Supplied Electricity (Scope 2) |  | 71.3 |  | 251.7 |  |

Gaseous and other fuels (Scope 1) |  | 660.5 |  | 600.0 |  |

Transportation (Scope 1 and 3) |  | 13.8 |  | 5.5 |  |

Total |  | 745.6 |  | 857.2 |  |

An intensity metric of tCO2e per £million turnover has been applied for the annual total emissions of the Group. The result of this analysis is as follows:

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

for the year ended 30 November 2025

In 2024 we joined a reforestation scheme and established the "Mirius Super Sapling Pledge". The Pledge:

For every £1,000 our customers spend upon a discrete range of our products we will fund the planting of one tree in Madagascar.

This is a region where reforestation makes a real difference to biodiversity, local livelihoods and provides a means of CO2 capture throughout the lifetime of the trees that are planted.

| 30 November |  | 30 November |  |

| 2025 |  | 2024 |  |

Number of trees planted under the Pledge |  | 5,145 |  | 3,301 |  |

CO2 absorbed over the lifetime of these trees |  | 4,631 t CO2 |  | 2,971 t CO2 |  |

The CO2 absorption of the accumulated trees planted represents 20% of our annual Scope 1 and Scope 2 … we continue to plant trees!

Reporting Boundary, Methodology and Exclusions

We have reported on all sources of GHG emissions and energy usage, associated emissions, energy efficiency actions and energy performance for The Coventry Group Topco Limited and its subsidiaries under the government policy Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR), as implemented by the Companies (Directors' Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018.

We have followed the 2019 UK Government environmental reporting guidance. We have used the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (revised edition) and emission factors from the UK Government's GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2019 to calculate the above disclosure. There are no material omissions from the mandatory reporting scope. The reporting period is December 2024 to November 2025, as per the financial statements.

The methodology applied for the calculation during this reporting period is GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (revised edition) and emissions factors were obtained from the UK Government's GHG conversion factor 2025 to calculate the above disclosure. For calculating emissions from company fleets and business travel in employee-owned cars, emission factors were obtained from DEFRA - UK GHG conversion factor 2025, whereas previously the emission factors were obtained from UK government Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA). The reporting period is December 2024 to November 2025, as per the financial statement. To calculate the energy consumed in kilowatt-hours (kWh) from company fleet vehicles and employee owned cars, the total distance travelled is converted into fuel consumption using miles per gallon (MPG). This is then converted into litres and subsequently into kWh by multiplying the total fuel consumed by the relevant energy conversion factor. From April 2025, we have started procuring 100% renewable electricity hence why there is significant difference between 2024 and 2025 Scope 2 emissions.

Energy Efficiency Initiatives

The group started purchasing 100% renewable electricity from April 2025. .

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The principal financial instruments of the Group comprise bank balances and borrowings, trade creditors, trade debtors and hire purchase contracts. The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds for the Group's operations and to finance its continuing operations. Liquidity risk is managed by the use of bank balances, invoice discounting and selective use and active management of credit insurance along with efficient monitoring and forecasting of cash flow to ensure there are sufficient funds to meet liabilities. Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by policies monitoring the credit offered to customers, and regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits.

INDEMNITY PROVISION

Third party indemnity cover for the directors was in place during the period and at the period end.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 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 directors are 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 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 group's auditors are aware of that information.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

for the year ended 30 November 2025

Magma Audit LLP has expressed its willingness to remain in office as auditors.

The auditors, Magma Audit LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

20 August 2026

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

THE COVENTRY GROUP TOPCO LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Coventry Group Topco Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 November 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, 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 30 November 2025 and of the group's 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 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 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 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 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group 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

THE COVENTRY GROUP TOPCO LIMITED

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 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 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 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 eight, 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 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 directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent 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:

Based on our understanding of the Group and the industry, we identified the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations, and considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, health and safety regulations and employment law. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries, and management bias in accounting estimates.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

- |  | Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation, and fraud; |

- |  | Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, or with unusual descriptions; |

- |  | Challenging assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimates, in particular the useful economic lives of tangible and intangible assets, valuation of long leasehold building, stock provisions, impairment of debtors and carrying value of investments and goodwill. |

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment.

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 30 November 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| The Coventry Group Topco Limited is a group, registered in England and Wales. Its registered office address is Woodhams Road, Siskin Drive, Coventry, England, CV3 4FX and the registered number is 12600083.

| The group manufactures and distributes hygiene products.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| These consolidated and individual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102") and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets.

| The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional and presentational currency of the group. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand £.

| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group and company accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within the accounting policies below.

| Summary of significant accounting policies

| The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

| Basis of consolidation

| The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its own subsidiaries ("the group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.

| The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Statement of Financial Position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at the fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

| Going concern

| At 30 November 2025, the Group had net current liabilities of £2,019k (2024: £853k) and net assets of £943k (2024: £2,179k). The Company had net current liabilities of £913k (2024: £793k) and net assets of £2,840k (2024: £2,960k). For the year ended 30 November 2025, the Group made a profit before tax of £2,468k (2024: £4,403k), while the Company made a profit for the financial year of £2,660k (2024: loss of £423k).

| The directors have prepared forecasts covering a period of at least 12 months from the expected date of approval of these financial statements. Having considered forecast trading, cash flows, available financing facilities and reasonable downside sensitivities, the directors are satisfied that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going-concern basis.

| On this basis the directors are confident that the group and company can continue as a going concern.

THE COVENTRY GROUP TOPCO LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 12600083) |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

for the year ended 30 November 2025

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

| The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

| (i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets

| The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.

| (ii) Valuation of long leasehold building

| The Group makes an estimate as to the fair value of the long leasehold building at the year end date. Management have utilised available data to assess the market values including but not limited to, the changes in the rental market and the economic climate. Management obtained a professional third party valuation on 10 August 2023, which valued the building on a market value basis. The Directors consider this valuation to be an accurate reflection of the fair value of the long leasehold building as at 30 November 2025.

| (iii) Stock provisioning

| The group manufactures and sells cleaning chemicals and is subject to changing consumer demands. As a result it is necessary to consider the recoverability of the cost of stock and the associated provisioning required. When calculating the stock provision, management considers the nature and condition of the stock as well as applying assumptions around anticipated saleability of finished goods and future usage of raw materials.

| (iv) Impairment of goodwill

| The group considers whether goodwill is impaired. Where an indication of impairment is identified the estimation of recoverable value requires estimation of the recoverable value of the cash generating units (CGUs). This requires estimation of the future cash flows from the CGUs and also selection of appropriate discount rates in order to calculate the net present value of those cash flows.

| (v) Carrying value of investments

| Investments are held at cost and when assessing annually for impairment management considers factors including but not limited to the cash flows expected to arise from the investments.

| Turnover

| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amount receivable for goods supplied, net of returns, discounts and rebates allowed by the group and value added taxes.

| The group recognises revenue when (a) the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer; (b) the group retains no continuing involvement or control over the goods; (c) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; (d) it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and (e) when the specific criteria relating to each of group’s sales channels have been met.

| Goodwill

| Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirers 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 which is expected to be 10 years.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Intangible assets

| Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated, using the straight-line method, to allocate the depreciable amount of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

| Acquired brands |  | - straight line over 10 years |  |

| Development costs |  | - straight line over 10 years |  |

| Licenses and trademarks |  | - straight line over 10 years |  |

| Amortisation is charged to administrative expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

| Where factors, such as technological advancement or changes in market price, indicate that residual value or useful life have changed, the residual value, useful life or amortisation rate are amended prospectively to reflect the new circumstances.

| The assets are reviewed for impairment if the above factors indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.

| Tangible fixed assets

| Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, dismantling and restoration costs.

| Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

| Leasehold buildings |  | - |  | straight line over 40 years |  |

| Plant and machinery |  | - |  | straight line over 4 to 10 years |  |

| Fixtures and fittings |  | - |  | straight line over 4 to 10 years |  |

| Expenditure on construction of tangible fixed assets is included in assets under construction within the Statement of Financial Position, at cost, until the asset is brought into use at which point it is transferred to the appropriate fixed asset category and depreciated over its expected useful economic life. Such costs include all costs directly attributable to bringing the tangible fixed asset into working condition for the intended use

| No depreciation is charged on assets under construction.

| The directors have chosen to adopt the revaluation model for accounting for long leasehold buildings. The long leasehold buildings are carried at fair value less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses.

| Any movement in the fair value of the properties is reflected within Other Comprehensive Income for the year. Any associated deferred tax liability is taken to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year and offset against revaluation gains held in other reserves.

| Stocks

| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.

| Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

| At the end of each reporting period stocks are assessed for impairment. If an item of stock is impaired, the identified stock is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell and an impairment charge is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Where a reversal of the impairment is recognised the impairment charge is reversed, up to the original impairment loss, and is recognised as a credit in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Taxation

| The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax.

| Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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.

| Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Statement of Financial Position 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.

| Both current and deferred tax are determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Statement of Financial Position date.

| Research and development

| Expenditure on research is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

| Expenditure on development is capitalised as an intangible asset and amortised over its useful life. Amortisation is charged from when the intangible asset is completed and it is able to be used for economic benefit.

| Foreign currencies

| At each year 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 the year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.

| Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of comprehensive income within 'finance (expense)/income'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within administrative expenses.

| Hire purchase and leasing agreements

| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

| Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

| The group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the group has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the group in independently administered funds.

| Invoice discounting

| The gross amount of invoice discounted debts are included in trade debtors and a corresponding liability in respect of proceeds received from factors are shown within current liabilities. Charges and interest are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as they accrue.

| Share capital

| Ordinary and preferred ordinary shares are classified as equity. Premium on issue of ordinary shares is recognised as share premium.

| Financial Instruments

| The group has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.

| (i) Financial assets

| Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances and investments are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

| Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

| (ii) Financial liabilities

| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans, other loans and loans from fellow group companies are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.

| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

| Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

| Preference shares are classified as liabilities. Each preference share is entitled to a dividend equal to 4% per annum which is cumulative but not compounding. The dividends are classified as a finance cost and included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. These shares do not carry voting rights.
