STRATEGIC REPORT
for the financial year ended 31 December 2025

 
The directors present their strategic report on the company for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.
 
Review of the Company's Business

Company Overview

EPH Controls is a leading supplier of heating controls and continues to increase its market share in the United Kingdom.

The company strives to produce high quality, cost effective products for the homeowner.

Company performance

During the financial year, the company reported a turnover of £18.6m (FY24: £15.1m) and a profit before tax of £4.1m (FY24: £2.7m). As at year end, net assets were £4m (FY24: £3.4m), following payment of a dividend of £3m (FY24: £1.7m).

The directors are pleased with the company’s performance. Despite the challenging economic landscape the company increased profitability.

The directors have considered the company’s financial requirements based on projected turnover and have deemed the company is adequately capitalised to deliver on its strategic objectives over the coming 12 months.

       
Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The directors are very much aware of the inherent risks within the building sector. The company monitors and seeks to manage these risks through internal controls and maintaining awareness of the markets within which it operates.

Inflationary Risk

While price inflation is softening it does continue to be challenging. A careful and sensitive approach to pricing and cost management, together with the maintenance of strong relationships and understanding with clients and suppliers helps to ensure that the company can adapt to changing market conditions.

Credit Risk

The Company provides credit terms to many of its customers and there is an associated risk that customers do not pay outstanding balances as they fall due. The company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made. The amount of exposure to any customer is subject to a limit, which is reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Commercial and Economic Risk

In recent years, the UK economy has faced considerable challenges, including the effects of Covid-19, Brexit, rising inflation, increases in interest rates from historically low levels and ongoing global conflicts. Although interest rates have declined from their peaks, continued international tensions and the threat of inflation continue to shape the UK's economic outlook. The Company maintains strong client relationships ensuring it remains well positioned to secure future opportunities.

The company faces strong competition from other distributors and manufacturers which could potentially affect the company's performance. To ensure these effects are understood, the company's senior management continually review markets and competitors and put in place measures to react commercially or operationally where necessary.

       
Financial Key Performance Indicators
Key performance indicators used by management include turnover, gross profit margin, EBITDA, working capital efficiency and return on capital.
       
Section 172 Statement

The board of directors plan for the business is designed to have a long term beneficial impact on the company and to contribute to its success in delivering good quality residential property developments.

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.

We act responsibly and fairly in our dealings with our suppliers and co-operate with our regulators, all of whom are integral to the successful delivery of our plan. We consider how our business impacts the community and the environment.

As the Board of Directors, our intention is to behave responsibly and we ensure that all employees at management level act in a responsible manner, operating within the high standards of business conduct and good governance expected for a a business such as ours.

Our intention is to behave responsibly towards our shareholders and treat them fairly so they too may benefit from the successful delivery of our plan.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
             

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, Directors' 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) including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”. 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 apply them consistently;
■make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
■prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
                 

Disclosure of Information to Auditor

Each persons who are directors at the date of approval of this report confirms that:

In so far as the directors are aware:

■there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the company's auditor in connection with preparing the auditor's report) of which the company's auditor is unaware, and

■the directors have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.

     
Auditors
The auditors, Crowley Young, (Chartered Accountants) have indicated their willingness to continue in office in accordance with the provisions of Section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
to the Shareholders of EPH Controls Limited

 
Report on the audit of the financial statements
 
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of EPH Controls Limited ('the company') for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Balance Sheet, the Reconciliation of Shareholders' Funds, the Cash Flow Statement and the related notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies set out in note . The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable Law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its profit for the financial 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's 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 the Provisions Available for Audits of Small Entities, in the circumstances set out in Note  to the financial statements, 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 the date 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 other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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.

 
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the Strategic Report and the 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.
 
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the Strategic Report and 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
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 for the financial statements
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 they 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 has no realistic alternative but to do so.
 
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.
 
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:
 
Our procedures included: enquiry of management and those charged with Governance around actual and potential litigation and claims; enquiry of entity staff in tax and compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness.
 
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is contained in the appendix to this report, located at page , which is to be read as an integral part of our report.
 
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.

APPENDIX TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Further information regarding the scope of our responsibilities as auditor
 
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
 
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
 
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control.
 
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
 
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditor's Report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditor's Report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.
 
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
 
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

EPH Controls Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 31 December 2025

   
1. General Information
 
EPH Controls Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and registered in the United Kingdom. The registered number of the company is 07162534. The registered office of the company is 79 College Road, Harrow, London, HA1 1BD. The nature of the company's operations and its principal activities are set out in the Directors' Report. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£) which is also the functional currency of the company.
         
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the company's financial statements.
 
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the company for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued by the Financial Reporting Council and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
 
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
 
Turnover
Turnover comprises the invoice value of goods supplied by the company, exclusive of trade discounts and value added tax.
 
Tangible assets and depreciation
Tangible assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:
 
  Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 25% Reducing balance
  Motor vehicles - 33.33% Reducing balance
 
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually for impairment in periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
 
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
 
Trade and other creditors
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
 
Employee benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund.
 
Taxation
Current tax represents the amount expected to be paid or recovered in respect of taxable profits for the financial year and is calculated using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the Balance Sheet date.
 
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet date.
