Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
The directors present their Strategic Report together with the audited financial statements of Label.M Products Limited (the "Company") for the year ended 31 August 2025.
The Company's principal activity is the provision of hair care products and equipment to hairdressing salons and end consumers.
Review of the business, post reporting dates events and future developments
|
The Statement of Comprehensive Income is set out on page 10 and shows turnover for the year of £5,858,969 (2024 - £5,527,750), an increase of 6% compared to a decrease of 24% in the prior year. The improvement in revenue is principally attributable to the establishment of the Amazon platform as a new sales channel, which contributed approximately £585,000 of incremental revenue in the year. Gross margin reduced to 35.8% (2024 - 39.7%), principally due to the accelerated clearance of short-dated stock at reduced selling prices.
The Company's supply chain operations were streamlined in the prior year through the adoption of an outsourced logistics model. The full benefit of this restructuring continued to flow through in the current year, contributing to a reduction in administrative expenses to £2,241,728 (2024 - £2,376,010). As a result, operating losses reduced to £146,465 (2024 - £179,300) and the directors consider the business to be on a rationalised platform for future growth. As part of the prior year operational reorganisation, certain functions were consolidated with the central group function.
There have been no post reporting date events which materially affect the financial position of the Company.
The Company has a shareholders' deficit of £3,871,952 (2024 - £3,725,487). The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and accordingly continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Key performance indicators
|
As a retailer of products to the haircare industry, revenue and gross margins are the two key performance indicators and as noted above revenue increased and gross margin has decreased in the year. After these, administration expenses are closely monitored. Inventory management is critical to the Company’s growth potential and management have regular meetings to both review inventory levels and approve new purchases.
The Company is continuing to concentrate on growing the sales and client base of its professional hair care range, Label.m through market expansion and product development.
Principal risks and uncertainties
|
The haircare product market is highly competitive and the Company has invested heavily in its brand both in the UK and globally which has affected its profitability. The brand's growing strength is expected to continue through this investment and new product development and strategically, if the Company can deliver a growth in sales in existing and new markets, this can be achieved with growth in gross and net margins. The main financial risks arising from the Company's activities are credit risk and liquidity risk. These are monitored by the Board of directors and were not considered to be significant at the reporting date. The Company's policy in respect of credit risk, is to require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made.

Strategic Report (continued)
for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
Principal risks and uncertainties (continued)
The Company's policy in respect of liquidity risk is to maintain bank accounts to ensure the Company has sufficient funds for operations. The cash deposits are held in a mixture of short term deposits and current accounts which earn interest at a floating rate. There is a risk that ongoing macroeconomic conditions, such as challenges in the employment market and the increased cost of living, will impact on the buying and consumption patterns of both salons and consumers at those salons. The management team are proactively responding to these matters but remain aware that they could have an impact on future performance.
Further, the Company is exposed to a number of the risks faced by the wider Toni & Guy Group Limited Group, namely:
∙The hairdressing industry within the key markets of the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia is highly competitive and the Group is implementing plans to improve the standards of its salons by continuing to invest in staff education, by enhancing the customer's experience and by expanding this education further into the fields of customer service, business management and information technology.
∙The high street is facing many challenges with evolving consumer behaviour, increasing property costs and increasing employment costs. Whilst the Group fully supports the principles of fair and appropriate reward for employees, other areas of inflationary pressure and levies do present a risk to margins for 'brick and mortar' customer facing sectors. However, the demand for high end hairdressing remains and therefore managing the Group's performance and costs base remains a priority.
∙More recently, import duties on both raw materials and finished goods have put pressure on gross margins. This has been mitigated by strong relationships with key suppliers, allowing some price negotiation plus better purchasing decision making to reduce unnecessary inventory commitments.
∙Increased energy costs, which are expected to follow the tensions in the Middle East – will be closely monitored to ensure risk is kept to a minimum and the business is reactive to these changes.
∙The main financial risks arising from the Company’s activities are liquidity risk and foreign currency exchange risks. These are monitored by the board and management and were not considered to be significant at the reporting date.
Further information in this regard is provided in note 2.3 to these financial statements, including the basis on which the Board have concluded that it remains appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of preparation.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Label.M Products Limited
Opinion on the financial statements
In our opinion, the financial statements:
∙give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs as at 31 August 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.
We have audited the financial statements of Label M. Products Limited (“the Company”) for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise of the following:
The Statement of Comprehensive Income;
|
|
|
The Statement of Changes in Equity;
|
Notes to the Financial Statements; and
|
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).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
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.
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. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Label.M Products Limited (continued)
Other information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Report and Financial Statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Other Companies Act 2006 reporting
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic report and the Directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Directors’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 Directors report, 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 is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Label.M Products Limited (continued)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the Company and management.
Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Non-compliance with laws and regulations
Based on:
∙Our understanding of the Company and the industry in which it operates;
∙Discussion with management and those charged with governance; and
∙Obtaining an understanding of the Company’s policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations.
We considered the significant laws and regulations to be the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102, and UK tax legislation.
The Company is also subject to laws and regulations where the consequence of non-compliance could have a material effect on the amount or disclosures in the financial statements, for example through the imposition of fines or litigations.
Our procedures in respect of the above included:
∙Enquiries of management whether there were any litigations and claims;
∙Review of minutes of meetings of those charged with governance for any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Review of financial statement disclosures and agreeing to supporting documentation; and
∙Review of legal expenditure accounts to understand the nature of expenditure incurred.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Label.M Products Limited (continued)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud (continued)
Fraud
We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:
∙Enquiry with management and those charged with governance regarding any known or suspected instances of fraud;
∙Obtaining an understanding of the Company’s policies and procedures relating to:
°Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud; and
°Internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud.
∙Review of minutes of meetings of those charged with governance for any known or suspected instances of fraud;
∙Discussion amongst the engagement team as to how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements;
∙Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; and
∙Considering remuneration incentive schemes and performance targets and the related financial statement areas impacted by these.
Based on our risk assessment, we considered the areas most susceptible to fraud to be improper revenue recognition and management override of controls.
Our procedures in respect of the above included:
∙Testing a sample of journal entries throughout the year, which met defined risk criteria, including unusual journal combinations within revenue, by agreeing to supporting documentation;
∙Testing a sample of random journal entries posted throughout the year which did not meet any specific risk criteria; and
∙Assessing significant estimates made by management for bias including a review of the underlying assumptions incorporated into the inventory and bad debt provisions.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members who were all deemed to have appropriate competence and capabilities and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed 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 are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

2.Accounting policies
|
|
|

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
|
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
|
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
∙the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
∙the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
∙the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
∙the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A; and
∙the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.
This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Toni & Guy Group Limited as at 31 August 2025 and these financial statements may be obtained from Companies House, Crown Way, Cardiff, CF14 3UZ.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Going concern (continued)
|
Label.M Products Limited had current assets as at 31 August 2025 of £3,593,518 (2024 - £3,562,250) and current liabilities of £7,465,470 (2024 - £7,287,737). However £6,889,905 (2024 - £6,809,451) of this is owed to a fellow subsidiary and member of the Produucts Division, Mascolo Group Limited. As the directors of Label.M Products Limited are also the directors of Mascolo Group Limited, they have full control of how intercompany balances are managed.
The directors are mindful of more recent challenges brought about by volatility in the UK economy, including above average inflation resulting in cost of living challenges and consumer spending constraints. In addition, they note the impact of upward pressure on raw materials due to a combination of increased manufacturing costs compounded by import tariff increases. Management has taken action to mitigate these impacts as far as possible by, for example, taking advantage of manufacturing price breaks, better inventory planning and consistently reviewing product lines and pricing architecture to ensure gross margins are not eroded whilst remaining market competitive.
In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, the directors have prepared detailed cash flow forecasts for the wider Products Division, which incorporate its response to the consumer pressures across the markets in which it operates and upward cost pressure on manufacturing costs, for the going concern period of 12 months from approval of these financial statements. The directors have also considered the Company's exposure to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East as part of this assessment. Given the nature of the Group's supply chain and customer base, direct exposure is limited, and sensitivity analysis performed as part of the forecasting process indicates the impact would not be material to the going concern conclusion. This will continue to be monitored closely. The Products Division has been trading favourably against these forecasts on a profit basis. The Company management have taken the opportunity to accelerate certain elements of its business plan, including new territory expansion, consolidation of product lines and the refocusing of key staff and are now operating with closer visibility and control of operating KPIs, notably gross profit margins and revenue growth.
Based on reasonable sensitivities applied to the Product Division's forecasts, the Board have concluded that the Company and Products Division will be able to continue to operate within existing facilities for the foreseeable future and have not identified a material uncertainty in this regard. If required, the Company has the flexibility and headroom to react to unforeseen market challenges via inventory management, product pricing and cost control. On this basis, the going concern basis has been applied in preparing these financial statements.
Turnover represents sales to external customers at invoiced amounts less value added tax or local taxes on sales and trade discounts. Turnover is recognised when the risks and rewards of owning the goods have passed over to the customer which is generally on delivery.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Balance Sheet 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.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax balances are not discounted.
Investments held as fixed assets are stated at cost less any provision for impairment.
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is based on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis and is based on the expenditure incurred in acquiring the stock. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less additional costs to sell.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have had to make the following judgements:
∙Stock is carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In determining if there is a requirement for a provision to reduce to net realisable value and deciding on an appropriate level of provision, management considers recent and the post year-end sales history of the item of stock.
∙Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the Company's debtors. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the age of the debt, recovery since the reporting date and discussions with the customer. Provisions are raised where debtors are not considered recoverable in full or in part.
