The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 30 November 2025.

The principal activity of the company is that of a holding entity with investments in businesses operating within the oil and gas manufacturing sector. The company’s core investment continues to be in FTV Proclad International Ltd, a manufacturer specialising in engineered products and solutions for global oil and gas projects.

During the year, the group’s subsidiaries faced challenging trading conditions. These were principally attributable to start up delays on significant projects, resulting in reduced utilisation of manufacturing capacity and under-recovery of overhead costs which impacted reported turnover and profitability. Despite this, the group have secured a stronger pipeline of committed work and improved visibility over future production requirements. A major frame agreement has been agreed with a key customer post year end further reinforcing the positive outlook going forward.

The company’s performance is inherently linked to the trading results of its subsidiary and, by extension, to conditions within the oil and gas industry. Key risks include:

• Market Volatility: Fluctuations in global oil prices and project activity can impact demand for manufactured products.

• Currency Exposure: International sales by the subsidiary create exposure to foreign exchange movements, managed through appropriate hedging strategies.

• Supply Chain Disruption: Availability and cost of raw materials may affect production schedules and margins. Entering into fixed price agreements and forward purchasing helps to mitigate such risk.

• Further details of Group-level risks are provided in the annual report of the ultimate parent company, National Industries Group Holding – KPSC, which does not form part of this report.

The directors maintain regular oversight of these risks and ensure that appropriate mitigation strategies are in place at subsidiary level.

The directors consider the following KPIs as most relevant to assessing performance:

• Net Asset Growth: Indicative of overall financial strength.

• Subsidiary Revenue and Margin Performance: Monitored through regular reporting and board reviews.

On behalf of the board

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2025.

The principal activity of the company is that of a holding company.

The results for the year are set out on page 8.

No ordinary dividends were paid. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.

The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

The company has made qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of its directors during the year. These provisions remain in force at the reporting date.

The company has not used derivative financial instruments for either financial risk management or for speculative purposes during the current year. The company's financial risk management objectives, policies and exposure to financial risks are not considered material for the assessment of the company's assets, liabilities, financial position or result for the year and as such, no further disclosure is considered necessary.

The directors anticipate that the company will continue to operate as an intermediate holding company and are not aware of any planned future developments which would alter this principal activity.

The auditor, Johnston Carmichael LLP, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.

The directors have at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

As of 30 November 2025, the company had net assets of £3,486,300. However, the company had balances of £13,351,679 due to intercompany counterparties which are contractually repayable on demand. In making their assessment on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the directors have considered the nature of the business as a holding company with no active trade.

Therefore, the intercompany counterparties have signed a written confirmation that they will waive their contractual right to recall the balances for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements to support the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As there are no other balances due in the going concern period, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report 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;

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• 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.

We have audited the financial statements of Scotar Group Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 November 2025 which comprise the income statement, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 30 November 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 Auditor 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 other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report and Financial Statements other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report and Financial Statements. 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our 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 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.

As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 4, 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.

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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Extent to which the audit was considered 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.

We assessed whether the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations by considering their experience, past performance and support available.

All engagement team members were briefed on relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks at the planning stage of the audit. Engagement team members were reminded to remain alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company and the sector in which it operates, focusing on those provisions that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The most relevant frameworks we identified include:

• Companies Act 2006;

• UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (FRS101); and

• Corporation Tax Legislation (United Kingdom).

We gained an understanding of how the company is complying with these laws and regulations by making enquiries of management and those charged with governance. We corroborated these enquiries through our review of submitted returns, external inspections and relevant correspondence with regulatory bodies.

We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by meeting with management and those charged with governance to understand where it was considered there was susceptibility to fraud. This evaluation also considered how management and those charged with governance were remunerated and whether this provided an incentive for fraudulent activity. We considered the overall control environment and how management and those charged with governance oversee the implementation and operation of controls. In areas of the financial statements where the risks were considered to be higher, we performed procedures to address each identified risk. We identified a heightened fraud risk in relation to:

• Management override of controls.

In addition to the above, the following procedures were performed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free of material fraud or error:

• Performing audit procedures over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and assessing judgements made by management in their calculation of accounting estimates for potential management bias;

• Completion of appropriate checklists and use of our experience to assess the company’s compliance with the Companies Act 2006; and

• Agreement of the financial statement disclosures to supporting documentation.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to the risk of material misstatements 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 intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 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 would become aware of it.

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 an auditor’s report 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.

Scotar Group Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is Ftv Proclad Viewfield Road, Viewfield Industrial Estate, Glenrothes, Fife, United Kingdom, KY6 2RD. The company's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the directors' report.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework (FRS 101) and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified in these accounting policies. The material accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. In preparing these financial statements, the company applies the recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements of UK-adopted International Accounting Standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and has set out below where advantage of the FRS 101 disclosure exemptions has been taken (where applicable):

• presentation of a statement of cash flows and related notes;

• disclosure of the objectives, policies and processes for managing capital as well as certain other narrative comparative information;

• disclosure of key management personnel compensation;

• disclosure of the categories of financial instrument and the nature and extent of risks arising on these financial instruments;

• Comparative period reconciliation for Investments;

• disclosure of the future impact of new International Financial Reporting Standards in issue but not yet effective at the reporting date; and

• related party disclosures for transactions with the parent or wholly-owned members of the group.

Where required, equivalent disclosures are given in the group accounts of National Industries Group (Holding) SAK. The group accounts of National Industries Group (Holding) SAK are available to the public and can be obtained as set out in note 15.

The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 401 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts. The financial statements present information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group.

The directors have at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the truecompany has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

As of 30 November 2025, the company had net assets of £3,486,300. However, the company had balances of £13,351,679 due to intercompany counterparties which are contractually repayable on demand. In making their assessment on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the directors have considered the nature of the business as a holding company with no active trade.

Therefore, the intercompany counterparties have signed a written confirmation that they will waive their contractual right to recall the balances for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements to support the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As there are no other balances due in the going concern period, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Interests in subsidiaries are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in the income statement.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The company recognises financial debt when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial liabilities are classified as either 'financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss' or 'other financial liabilities'.

The company had no financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the current or prior reporting periods.

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings and other short-term monetary liabilities, are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For the purposes of each financial liability, interest expense includes initial transaction costs and any premium payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.

At each reporting period end date, the directors review the carrying value of the company's fixed asset investments to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). The assessment of recoverable amount involves judgement over net sales value and future cash generation attributable to the underlying assets. The carrying value of investments are outlined within note 8. No impairment indicators were identified in respect of the recoverable amount of the company's investments in the current year.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

No director received remuneration during the current year or prior period. Directors are remunerated through other group entities with no recharge to the company. It is not practicable to apportion the directors' remuneration between the individual group companies.

The charge for the year can be reconciled to the loss per the income statement as follows:

The company has unrecognised tax losses of approximately £543,142 (2024 - £427,930). The potential deferred tax asset has not been provided for due to the uncertainty of when the losses will be utilised.

Details of the company's subsidiaries at 30 November 2025 are as follows:

Registered office addresses (all UK unless otherwise indicated):

Amounts owed to group undertakings are unsecured and repayable on demand and incur interest at annual rates between 2% and 4.5%.

Ordinary shares have full rights regarding voting, payment of dividends and distributions.

Retained earnings comprise accumulated losses from incorporation to 30 November 2025.

The company has taken advantage of the disclosure exemptions within section 8(k) of FRS 101 from the requirement to disclose transactions between wholly owned intra-group companies.
