Strategic Report
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 28 February 2026.
Principal Activity
The company's principal activity is to design, build and install tooling systems for major manufacturers around the word.
Review of the Business
From its incorporation in 1961, the business has grown to the largest independent toolmaker of its type in Europe. The unique selling point of the business is its ability to operate in a high precision environment over multiple markets and different materials. From the same facility in Llantrisant, service is offered to the packaging industry in foil, paper, board, plastic and metal packaging companies. The technical challenges are considerable for an SME of 89 people, but our ability to innovate is our competitive edge.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The trading conditions have continued to be challenging given the ongoing global uncertainties. The business model based on half the turnover being revenue spend items for repairs, service and maintenance from long standing customers counters the downturn in capital projects. The other principal risks remain and relate to people and our own capital investment. 
Analysis of the Development, Performance and Position of the Business
We remain focussed on core values as a business; these have been unchanged for three decades. Our trade is conducted from cash reserves, debt is low and in addition, we measure ourselves by operating profit. We balance our market penetration across five main vertical markets whilst striving for an export portfolio of 50% of turnover. The R&D activity in the last two years has been at record levels. This has been driven by market demand for lower carbon footprint packaging and EV's.
Key Financial Performance Indicators
The turnover year on year has increased by 17% to £8,140,890 (2025: £6,928,709 ) and the PBT position rose by 383% to £241,220 (2025: £49,962). It is pleasing to note that cash reserves have been maintained at 3 months of outgoings in line with our long-standing policy. The business has increased its focus on research, development and innovation with several key projects that will boost future growth.

Directors' Report
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2026.
Future Developments
The downturn that has existed in markets recently has reinforced the need to be very agile and responsive to opportunities when they arise. The business planning process has tried to reflect these dynamic conditions. We are constantly seeking new technology that will increase competitive edge. The major achievements of the past two years in two key markets are providing increased focus and almost certainly the future investment will be in these areas.
Dividends
The value of dividends paid amounted to £NIL .
The directors recommended a final dividend of £NIL .
Directors
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
G Jenkins
D Holley
L Newsham
D Williams
G Meese Appointed 05/01/2026
Other changes in directors holding office are as follows:
P Byard - resigned 20 March 2024
Research and Development
The business has continued to invest in its research and development activities and form collaborations with external Stakeholders globally. This long-term activity enables the development of intellectual property in competitive edge manufacture that is market specific. This work is a significant enabler of growth.
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
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 that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', 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 the financial statements the directors are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
  • state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS102, have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

Page 4
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.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement of Disclosure of Information to Auditors
In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors' Report is approved:
  • so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and
  • they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.
Independent Auditors
The auditors, John F. Harvey Ltd Chartered Accountants , have indicated their willingness to continue in office and a resolution concerning their re-appointment will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of FSG Tool & Die Limited for the year ended 28 February 2026 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes of 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
In our opinion the financial statements:
  • give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 28 February 2026 and of its profit/(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'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 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 entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 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 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. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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 the audit:
  • the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the Strategic Report and 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 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 or 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' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3—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.

Page 7
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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 
- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company.
- We determined that the most significant which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those related to the reporting framework, the Companies Act 2006 and relevant tax compliance legislation.
- We understood how they are complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquiries through our review of board minutes and discussion with management.
- We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by meeting with management to understand where it is considered there was a susceptibility of fraud.
- Our audit planning identified fraud risks in relation to management override. We obtained an understanding of the processes and controls that the company has established to address the risks identified, or otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud; and how management monitors those processes and controls.
- We designed our audit procedures to detect irregularities, including fraud. Our procedures include journal transaction testing, with a focus on large or unusual transactions based on our knowledge of the business, seeking substantiation for the accounting estimates during the year and challenging the assumptions made by management in their recognition. Our audit procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error.
- We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.  This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's 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 that 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.

• the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; 
• the requirement of paragraph 3.17(d); 
• the requirements of paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c); 
• the requirement of paragraph 33.7. 
Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.
2.2. Significant judgements and estimations
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The following estimates are considered to have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Defined benefit pension scheme
The defined benefit pension liability is determined using actuarial valuations. This requires assumptions to be made regarding discount rates, inflation, mortality rates and investment returns. 
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Management reviews inventory for slow moving, obsolete or damaged items and provides against amounts not expected to be recovered. 
Trade debtors
A provision is made for amounts not expected to be recovered from trade debtors, based on management’s assessment of customer circumstances, ageing and historic collection experience. 
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged over the estimated useful lives of tangible fixed assets. Management reviews useful lives and residual values annually.
Page 13
Page 14
2.3. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. 
The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.
2.4. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Other Intangible
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. 
Development costs are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of five years. 
Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of three years. 
2.5. Research and Development
Research costs are expensed to the Profit and Loss Account and costs directly attributable to Development are capitalised. Development costs are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
2.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Asset Class
Depreciation method and rate
Freehold property
2% per annum straight line
Plant & machinery
at varying rates of 10%, 20% and 33% per annum straight line
Fixtures & fittings
at varying rates of 20% and 33% per annum straight line
Motor vehicles
25% per annum straight line
2.7. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.
Page 14
Page 15
2.8. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. 
Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. 
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are 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.
2.9. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 
2.10. Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and cash equivalents, are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less any impairment losses.
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and borrowings, are initially recognised at transaction price, less directly attributable transaction costs where applicable, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest expense, including the amortisation of transaction costs, is recognised in the profit and loss account over the term of the borrowing using the effective interest method.
2.11. Foreign Currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
2.12. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
...CONTINUED
Page 15
Page 16
2.12. Taxation - continued
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss for the year, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case current and deferred tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
2.13. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
Defined benefit pension obligation
Typically defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation.
The liability recognised in the Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date minus the fair value of the plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is measured using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future payments by reference to market yields at the reporting date on high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability. Actuarial gains and losses are charged or credited to other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
