Group Strategic Report |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024 |
The director presents his strategic report for the year ended 31 January 2024. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The director aims to present a balanced and comprehensive view of the development and performance of the Group during the year and its position at the year end. The review is consistent with the size and |
nature of the Group and is written in the context of the risks and uncertainties faced. |
Revenue during the year increased from £11,008,339 to £12,181,070, whilst gross profit increased from |
£2,232,239 to £2,414,915. The Group continues to manage costs and generated a profit before tax of |
£450,344 (2023: £46,440). |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The main risks from the company's operations are business interruption, customer proposition and food and product safety. The directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. The policies have remained unchanged from previous years. |
Business Interruption |
Distribution and systems infrastructures are fundamental to ensuring the normal continuity of trading in the stores. If an accident occurred to this infrastructure or another key facility, this could have a detrimental impact on the company's ability to operate effectively. |
Customer Proposition |
We operate in a very competitive industry. Also, our customers' shopping habits are influenced by broader economic factors that our business does not control. If we fail to keep our proposition aligned with customers' expectations, then they may choose not to shop with us and sales will suffer. |
Food and Product Safety |
We are aware that, if we fail to deliver excellent standards of hygiene and safety in our products, there is a potential to harm our customers and damage our business reputation. Food safety is of paramount importance. |
STRATEGY AND DEVELOPMENT |
The Group's success is dependent on understanding and meeting the developing needs of customers and developing innovative solutions for their needs. The Group will continue to improve upon its position and concentrate on achieving maximum growth in its market sector while at the same time continuing to improve efficiency in all areas of its operations. With its strong capital base and proven track record the Group believes it will be well placed to retain existing customers and generate new business. |
FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
The key performance indicators of the business are stated below: |
2024 | 2023 |
Revenue | £12,181,070 | £11,008,339 |
Gross Profit | £2,414,915 | £2,232,239 |
Gross Profit Margin | 19.8% | 20.3% |
The directors are satisfied with the results of the year and believe the company continues to operate strongly in a very competitive market. |
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT |
The local supermarket retailing sector is highly saturated with multiple large supermarkets operating in the surrounding area as well as independent retailers. The industry is performing well and appears strong despite its saturated nature. |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
The company is committed to long term creation of shareholder value by increasing the Group's market share. The Group aims to increase revenue and operating profits. The Group will continue to meet the needs of customers and develop innovative solutions for their needs while remaining highly competitive. |

DIRECTOR |
DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT |
The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Director's Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 director is 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 he 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, CavanaghKelly, have indicated their willingness to continue in office in accordance with the provision of Section 485 of the Companies Act 2006. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of |
Trasna Holdings Ltd |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Trasna Holdings Ltd (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 January 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, 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 and Notes to the Consolidated Statement 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 January 2024 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Director's Report, but does not include the financial statements and our Auditors' Report 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 Director's Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Group Strategic Report and the Director's Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of |
Trasna Holdings Ltd |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Director's 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 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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of director |
As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page four, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of |
Trasna Holdings Ltd |
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. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud |
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud are to assess the risk of material misstatement due to fraud, design and implement appropriate responses to those assessed risks and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the course of our audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with management and those charged with governance of the company. |
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
- | We obtained understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the company’s financial statements and considered the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, Financial Reporting Standards (FRS102) and UK taxation legislation; |
- | We have assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance; |
- | We enquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
- | Understanding the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; and |
- | Discussions amongst the audit engagement team regarding how fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As part of this discussion we identified the following potential areas where fraud may occur: timing of revenue recognition and management override. |
The audit response to risks identified included: |
- | Reviewing the financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with the relevant laws and regulations above; |
- | Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risk of material misstatement due to fraud; |
- | In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are reasonable and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are reasonable and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
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. |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Trasna Holdings Ltd is a |
2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
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. The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the company's financial statements. |
The preparation of the financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company accounting policies. No critical judgements or critical accounting estimates have been applied to these financial statements. |
Basis of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the holding company and all its subsidiary companies made up to 31 January 2024. |
Intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. |
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. |
Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements. |
The Group has identified the following transactions, which must be disclosed under the terms of FRS 102 'Related Party Disclosures': |
At the year end an amount of £210,822 was owed to the Group by the Directors (2023: £65,912 was owed to the Directors by the Group). |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024 |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Significant judgements and estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenditure in the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Therefore, management believe the critical accounting policies where estimates, judgements and assumptions are necessarily applied are summarised below: |
Impairment of Fixed Assets: |
The company's tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The assets are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives. The carrying values of such assets are reviewed annually for any indications of impairment. The carrying value of assets is tested for impairment where events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value is incorrectly stated. If such a review indicates the carrying value is overstated, the value of the asset is restated to its deemed recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is deemed to be the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell, or its value in use. Value in use is calculated based on the discounted future cash flows of the asset, or of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
Revenue |
Revenue is recognised to the extent that is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue 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 be met before revenue is recognised: |
Sale of goods |
Revenue 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. |
Goodwill |
Purchased goodwill arising on the acquisition of a business represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the identifiable net assets including other intangible fixed assets when they were acquired. Purchased goodwill is capitalised in the Statement of Financial Position and amortised on a straight line basis over its economic useful life of 5 years, which is estimated to be the period during which benefits are expected to arise. On disposal of a business any goodwill not amortised is included in determining the profit or loss on sale of the business. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are valued at cost less accumulated depreciation. |
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost in equal annual instalments over their estimated useful life of 5 years. |
Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset operate as intended. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows: |
Land and buildings freehold | 4% Straight line |
Fixtures, fittings and equipment | 25% Straight line |
Motor vehicles | 25% Straight line |
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed annually for impairment in periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. |

Inventories |
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventories are determined on a first-in first-out basis. Cost comprises expenditure incurred in the normal course of business in bringing inventories to their present location and condition. Full provision is made for obsolete and slow moving items. Net realisable value comprises actual or estimated selling price (net of trade discounts) less all further costs to completion or to be incurred in marketing and selling. |
Financial instruments |
The company has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
(i) Financial assets |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances and amounts owed by related parties and are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
If there is decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss. |
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. |
(ii) Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans and overdrafts and amounts owed to related parties are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. |
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. |
(iii) Offsetting |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is a legally 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. |

Taxation |
Taxation |
Current tax represents the amount expected to be paid or recovered in respect of taxable profits for the year and is calculated using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at 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 |
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the Statement of Financial Position date. Non- monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. The resulting exchange differences are dealt with in the Income Statement. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks. |
Finance costs |
Finance costs are charged to the Income Statement over the term of the debt. |
Share capital |
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds. |
4. | TURNOVER |
The revenue and profit before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the Company. All turnover arose within the United Kingdom. |
