STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The purpose of the business is to provide sales and marketing coverage for the UK and Ireland market of non-domestic cooling ventilation equipment and electronic drives, predominantly selling products manufactured by our German parent company. The strategy to achieve this involves geographically dispersed external sales managers, together with internal support.
The Company has performed satisfactorily during the year under challenging conditions with a further strengthening of the Balance Sheet position, prior to the payment of a dividend of £0.8m (2024 - £Nil). The results of the Company at the end of the reporting period were turnover at £31.9m (2024 - £25.4m) and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of £1.4m (2024 - £1.2m). The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £1.1m (2024 - £0.9m)
The Directors consider that the Company is well placed to deal with the ongoing uncertainties in the UK economy and that of its European partners and competitors. Continued investment in systems alongside the growing human resource and marketing strategies have had a significant mitigating impact on these uncertainties.
The Directors have reviewed the key risks to which te Company is exposed together with the operating and financial controls which are in place to mitigate those risks. The main risks are as follows:
Competition The Directors consider that the Company can compete effectively in the current environment in its target market. The Company's ability to stabilise costs in a competitive environment will protect it against aggressive price reductions by competitors to gain market share. The Company will continue to compete on the basis of quality and service rather than price. Bad debts The uncertain economic climate continues to give rise to a higher than usual bad debt risk. The Directors seek to mitigate this by adherence to the Company's robust credit control procedures. Foreign exchange The Company is exposed to adverse exchange rate movements, particularly in the current political climate. The Directors seek to manage this as far as possible through the application of existing forex mitigation strategies. Although this is not an absolute guarantee, the risk can be effectively managed. IT Security The Directors attach high priority to managing the risks posed by IT security breaches, including a review of cybersecurity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ZIEHL-ABEGG UK LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Ziehl-Abegg UK Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ZIEHL-ABEGG UK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ZIEHL-ABEGG UK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 procedures performed, and the extent to which they are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙Enquiry of staff to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Performing audit work 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 reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
∙Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charges with governance; and
∙Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
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 Auditor's Report.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Assets under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for use. At this point, the assets are transferred to an appropriate class of tangible fixed assets.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. For financial assets measured at cost less impairment. the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the Balance Sheet date. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

below: 3.1 Turnover recognition Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. This is when the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. Although this is not considered to be a complex judgment for the Company, turnover recognition is still considered to be a critical accounting policy. 3.2 Stock valuation The valuation of inventories is critical to the production of the financial statements. Judgment is required in determining whether there is any provision required against slow-moving or obsolete items. This involves evaluating the likelihood of the further sale of particular stock items.
