Group Strategic Report
for the year ended 31 March 2022

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Masca Holding Ltd is the parent company of twelve subsidiaries whose main business activities include wholesale of fruits, vegetables and other groceries as well as property management. The group's performance has been in accordance with the expectations of the directors. All companies in the group have shown a high degree of resilience in a competitive environment to achieve targeted results.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Turnover for the whole group has increased significantly compared to that of last year; the rise in turnover has been in line with expectations. All companies in the group are fully operational except two dormant subsidiaries. Profitability over the period has also been in line with expectations. There has been a positive correlation between turnover and the net profit; the directors expect this trend of growth in sales and profit to continue for the foreseeable future. The trading companies in the group sell mainly groceries and basic food items and the general economic cycle of the country has not impacted much on the industry in which they operate. The main threat to the group are their competitors. The company's main strategy is to provide a complete service to customers thereby increasing their customer base and the resulting impact on the turnover of the group. The various companies aim at specific markets (and customers) to ensure that a clear strategy to win and maintain these new customers is implemented and sustained. Also, within the group is a property management company which is part of the groups diversification strategy.

The directors recognise the importance of all of its staff and would like to thank them for all their hard work and efforts throughout the year in helping the company make this remarkable achievement.

The results for the year and the financial position of the company are shown in the annexed financial statements.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Each company's ability to get insurance cover is key to their ability to acquire inputs on consignment. Most of the purchases are on consignment and the consignors require insurance cover to continue supplying on consignment. The level of cover for each company depends on the financial health of the company; this is managed by keeping a close watch on monthly results and dealing with poor performing lines on a timely basis.

Furthermore, the products of the subsidiaries are mainly fresh and perishable, therefore stock levels are very low. Hence, the companies depend on the reliability of their suppliers to meet their orders at short notice to prevent stock outs leading to the loss of customers. To manage this risk for each product the company maintains more than one supplier to fulfil the required orders to ensure that the failure of one supplier will not affect their ability to meet anticipated demand and customer satisfaction for that matter. Also new product lines are constantly being introduced to ensure that a poor performance in one line will not have a significant impact on the group's turnover and also ensure that customers get all they want from a group member.

Group Strategic Report
for the year ended 31 March 2022

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
General confirmation of Directors’ duties
The directors have a clear framework for determining the matters within their remit and have approved Terms of Reference for the matters delegated to their assistants. Certain financial and strategic thresholds have been determined to identify matters requiring directors consideration and approval.
When making decisions, each director ensures that he acts in the way he considers, in good faith, what would most likely promote the company’s success for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have considered (among other matters):

S172(1) (A) “The likely consequences of any decision in the long term”

The directors understand the business and the evolving environment in which they operate, including the challenges of navigating through the Brexit transition and the economic turbulence. Based on the company's purpose to supply quality fruits, vegetables and other groceries by sourcing the best products, the strategy set by the directors is intended to strengthen the group's position to enable it play a leading role in the supply of fruits and vegetables in the UK at competetive prices whilst maintaining quality and promoting social responsibility.
The rising standard of living of a growing UK population is likely to continue to drive demand for fresh fruits and vegetables for years to come. At the same time, changes in customers' shopping approach (online shopping and the need to deliver products to customers) means increased competition as a direct result of increasing customer choice. The long-term success of the business is dependent on its ability to adapt with those changes and distinguishing itself against the growing competition by way of maintaining quality and customer satisfaction. The directors also realise the importance of their business activities as a contributor to the health of society as they sell fresh produce.

S172(1) (B) “The interests of the company’s employees”

The directors recognise that the company's employees are fundamental and core to the business and necessary for the delivery of the directors' strategic ambitions. The success of the business depends on attracting, retaining and motivating employees. From ensuring that the business remains a responsible employer in all aspects, from pay and benefits to health and safety in the workplace environment, the directors factor the implications of decisions on employees and the wider workforce, where relevant and feasible. More information on this can be found within the company's policy for employees.

S172(1) (C) “The need to foster the company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others”

Delivering the directors' strategy requires strong mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers, customers, local authorities and governments. The company seeks the promotion and application of certain general principles in such relationships. The ability to promote these principles effectively is an important factor in the decision to enter into or remain in such relationships and this, alongside other standards, are described in the various policy statements of the company in the Strategic Report. The group's Business Principles are reviewed by the directors periodically. The directors also review and approve the group's approach to suppliers which is set out in the group's Supplier Policy. The business continuously assesses the priorities related to customers and those with whom they do business; the companies in the group engages with these customers based on the outcome of those assessments.

S172(1) (D) “The impact of the company’s operations on the community and the environment”


Masca Holding Limited (Registered number: 08984962)

Group Strategic Report
for the year ended 31 March 2022

This aspect is inherent in the directors' strategic ambitions, most notably on their ambitions to thrive in the food wholesale and retail sector. As such, the directors constantly monitor their effect on the community and environment; an important goal for the directors is to be a benefit to both local community and the greater environment.

S172(1) (E) “The desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct”

The group aims to meet the world’s growing need for more healthy food in ways which are economically, environmentally and socially responsible. The directors periodically review and approves clear frameworks to ensure that high standards are maintained both within and outside the businesses and the business relationships they maintain. This, complemented by the ways the directors are informed and monitor compliance with relevant governance standards help ensure decisions made mean that companies in the group act in ways that perpetually promote high standards of business conduct.

S172(1) (F) “The need to act fairly as between members of the company”

After weighing up all relevant factors, the directors consider which course of action best enables delivery of their strategies through the long-term by taking into consideration the impact on stakeholders. In doing so, the directors attempt to balance the company's interests and other stakeholders' interests and this can sometimes mean that certain stakeholder interests may not be fully aligned. However, the directors attempt to be as fair as possible to all in this regard.

Culture
The directors recognise that they have an important role when assessing and ensuring that the desired culture is embedded in all the values, attitudes and behaviours they demonstrate, including in all the business activities and stakeholder relationships. The directors have established honesty, integrity and respect for people as the group's core values. The General Business Principles, Code of Conduct, and Code of Ethics help everyone act in line with these values and comply with relevant laws and regulations. The group's Commitment and Policy on Health, Safety, Security, Environment & Social Performance applies across all the companies and is designed to help protect people and the environment. The directors strive to maintain a diverse and inclusive culture.

Stakeholder engagement (including employee engagement)
The directors also recognise the important role the companies in the group have to play in society and are deeply committed to public collaboration and stakeholder engagement; this commitment is at the heart of the group's strategic ambitions. The directors believe that they will only succeed by working with customers, governments and business partners. Working together is critical, particularly at a time when society, including businesses, governments and consumers, face complex and challenging issues.
The companies continue to build on their long track record of working with others, such as customers and suppliers; the directors believe that working together, sharing knowledge and experience with others offers greater insights into their own business.

Group Strategic Report
for the year ended 31 March 2022

ENGAGEMENT WITH EMPLOYEES
The company is committed to achieving a working environment which provides equality of opportunity and freedom from unlawful discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, disability or age, pregnancy or maternity, trade union membership or the fact that they are part-time workers. The company's Equality and Diversity policy aims to remove unfair and discriminatory practices within the company and to encourage full contribution from its diverse community. The company is committed to actively opposing all forms of discrimination. The company also aims to provide a service that does not discriminate against its clients in the means by which they can access the services supplied by the company. The company believes that the directors, employees and customers are entitled to be treated with respect and dignity.The company's employment policy is to provide equal opportunity to all current and prospective employees without any discrimination. They endeavour to provide a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The main performance indicators are the sales and the profit margins. Most products are sold at an agreed margin thereby leading to a positive correlation between sales and profit. All other costs apart from cost of sales are fairly fixed. The directors monitor these on a monthly basis to ensure that poor performers are picked up on time and dealt with accordingly. They also ensure that other overheads are within limits as their effects on the ability to remain in operational existence and profitability for that matter is very critical.

The Key Performance Indicator over the last two years are as follows:

2022 2021
£    £   
Turnover 81,399 74,470
Rent receivable 651 588
Gross Profit 13,928 11,406
Net Profit before tax & exceptional
items

4,592

3,999

The directors believe that other variables of performance indicators are marginal and not the best indicators of the overall performance, development and position of the companies in the group.

GROUPS POLICY ON PAYMENT OF CREDITORS
The policy of the company is to agree terms of payment prior to commencing trade with a supplier and to abide by those terms on a timely submission of invoices.

SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENT AND ETHICAL MATTERS
The company believes that by operating in an ethical and social aware manner they will help preserve the environment; that being an integral part of efficient and profitable business management. The directors recognise that success in these areas depends on the involvement and commitment of everyone in the organisation.

Report of the Directors
for the year ended 31 March 2022

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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 Financial Reporting Standard 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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 accounting standards 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.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Alton & Co, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





Mr S Cagin - Director


13 September 2022

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Masca Holding Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Masca Holding Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Company Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statements of Cash Flows, Notes to the Financial Statements, 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 the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the group's 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 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group 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 group's and the parent 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Masca Holding Limited


Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company 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
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page eight, 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 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent 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 a Report of the Auditors 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 framework that are applicable to the company and determined that the most significant are the food standards regulations, building safety regulations and anti bribery regulations. We understand how the company is complying with those regulations by making enquiries of management and key personel; we also reviewed correspondence files. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements using our general commercial and sector experience, through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards) and from inspection of the company's regulatory and legal correspondence. We discussed with the directors and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated those identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Through these procedures, we did not become aware of actual or suspected non-compliance.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all 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 Report of the Auditors.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2022

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Significant judgements and estimates
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. In determining the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the Group makes assumptions of the effects of uncertain future events on those assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. The Group’s estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and expectation of future events and are reviewed periodically. Further information about key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty, are set out in the notes.

Fair value measurements are estimates of the amounts for which assets or liabilities could be transferred at the measurement date, based on the assumption that such transfers take place between participants in principal markets and, where applicable, taking highest and best use into account. Where available, fair value measurements are derived from prices quoted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. In the absence of such information, other observable inputs are used to estimate fair value. Inputs derived from external sources are corroborated or otherwise verified, as appropriate. In the absence of publicly available information, fair value is determined using estimation techniques that take into account market perspectives relevant to the asset or liability, in as far as they can reasonably be ascertained, based on predominantly unobservable inputs.

Turnover
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Group's turnover is recognised when the customer takes delivery of the goods except rental income which is recognised at the end of the quarter when the rent is due. All income is derived from the ordinary activities of the business. All companies in the group operate in the UK.

The accrual model is used in recognition of grants where grants are matched against the expenditure it is compensating for.

Intangible assets
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.

Patents and licences are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of ten years.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Freehold property - 2% on cost
Short leasehold - straight line over the life of the lease
Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance
FF & equipment - 25% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance
Computer equipment - 25% on reducing balance

Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Stocks
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cost is on a first in first out basis and net realisable value is the sales value of the stock less any additional cost to sell.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Consignment purchases
Goods acquired on consignment are not recognised as the company's purchases until the title of the goods changes to the company; this occurs when the goods are sold.
