STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The directors present their Annual Report, together with the financial statements and auditor's report of Raymond (Europe) Limited, (the "Company") for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Business review
 
During the year the Company sought to position itself for future growth opportunities for longer term value for the shareholders.

Long term relationships with major customers remain strong and this allied to further enhancements should help the Company achieve its desired returns.

The directors consider that the results for the year and the state of the Company's affairs at the year end, as shown in the financial statements, to be satisfactory.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
 Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk exposures arises primarily from trade receivables, trade payables and intercompany loans denominated in Euros and US Dollars.

Trade receivables
Trade receivables are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by regular review of customers' credit rating, continual communication with customers and regular monitoring of amounts outstanding and the age of debt.

Trade payables
Trade payables liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due.

Inflation
High inflation in the economy puts a pressure on demand for our goods and our colleagues' economic security. We are mitigating this risk by monitoring customer demand closely and adapting our buying and marketing strategies accordingly. 

Financial risks
The company’s financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade creditors and trade debtors.

Liquidity risk is managed by maintaining sufficient cash balances.

Credit risk is managed by closely monitoring customers’ outstanding amounts.

Interest rate risk is managed by holding minimal debt relative to the company’s turnover and profit.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Financial key performance indicators
 
The directors use a number of key performance indicators to assess business performance. Principal amongst these are turnover, gross profit margin, operating profit and net assets which are reported in the audited financial statements.

The key performance indicators of the company are turnover and gross profit margin. A brief analysis of these is shown below:

           
2025      2024   Variance 
                   £               £                       %
 Turnover       19,205,713          19,346,794                       (0.7)
 Gross profit margin                11.8%                  12.6%                              (0.8)


The gross profit margin has increased due to lower demand from lower margin customers compared to demand from higher margin customers.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the 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 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 for the Company's financial statements 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RAYMOND (EUROPE) LIMITED
 

Qualified opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Raymond (Europe) 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 our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, 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 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 qualified opinion


We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the existence of inventory held by a
third party as at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2025, which is stated in the financial statements at £760,145 and £700,145, respectively. The inventory was supplied with incorrect labels, and as a result, we were unable to perform adequate physical verification procedures. Alternative audit procedures to confirm the existence of this inventory were not possible due to the nature of the issue. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2025 was necessary or whether there was any consequential effect on the cost of sales.

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 Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 qualified 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 other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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.


As described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, we were unable to obtain sufficient 
appropriate audit evidence regarding the existence of inventory held by a third party as at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2025.

We have concluded that where the other information refers to the inventory balance or related balances such as
cost of sales, it may be materially misstated for the same reason.


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

Except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, 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
 

Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, 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.

Arising solely from the limitation on the scope of our work relating to inventory, referred to above:
 
∙we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of  our audit; and
∙we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept.


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:


∙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.

Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 3, 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.

RAYMOND (EUROPE) LIMITED
 
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RAYMOND (EUROPE) LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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 an Auditors' 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:

In order to identify and assess the risks of material misstatements, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements, we have considered:

• the results of our enquiries of management and those charged with governance of their assessment of         the risks of fraud and irregularities;
• the nature of the company, including its management structure and control systems (including the     opportunity for management to override such controls); and
• the industry and environment in which it operates.

We also considered UK tax and pension legislation and laws and regulations relating to employment and the preparation and presentation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006.

Based on this understanding we identified the following matters as being of significance to the entity:

• laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements including UK financial   reporting standards, Company Law, tax and pension legislation and distributable profits legislation;
• the timing of the recognition of commercial income;
• compliance with legislation relating to health and safety and local employment law.
• management bias in selecting accounting policies and determining estimates;
• inappropriate journal entries;
• recoverability of debtors; and
• the requirement to impair stock and the amount of any such impairment.

We communicated the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity, to all engagement team members.

Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised:

• enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies 
 with such laws and regulations;
• enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims;
• discussion with the same regarding any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and   regulation and fraud;
• assessment of matters reported to management and the result of the subsequent investigation;   
• obtaining an understanding of the relevant controls during the period;
• identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account                                                     combinations or crediting revenue or cash         
• accessing the recovery of debtors in the period since the balance sheet date and challenging      
Page 8

 
RAYMOND (EUROPE) LIMITED
 
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RAYMOND (EUROPE) LIMITED (CONTINUED)


 assumptions made by management regarding the recovery of balances which remain outstanding;
• reviewing the financial statements for compliance with the relevant disclosure requirements;
• performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships or unexpected   movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud;and
• evaluating the underlying business reasons for any unusual transactions.


No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).   


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 Auditors' 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 Auditors' 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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period 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.

 
2.4

Turnover

Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
∙the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
∙the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Commission income is recognised only when the customer has paid for the goods supplied and the cash is received.

 
2.5

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 
2.6

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.7

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

2.8

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.9

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss 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.


 
2.10

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 
2.11

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.13

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
