Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The business model
AB Nutrition is a leading trader of soft agricultural commodities and supplies most of the animal feed industry; the business also maintains a number of relationships within the food industry to trade food by-products.

Key Performance Indicators
Total Tonnage has increased by 12.3% from 442,977t in the year ended 30th April 2023, to 497,496t in the year ended 30th April 2024.

Revenue has decreased by 15.09% in the year to 30th April 2024 to £100.67m (2023 £118.56m)

Operating Profits increased by 8% in the year to 30th April 2024 at £4.109m (2023 £3.672m)

The company has performed well in utilising its skill base to respond to the daily circumstances and resolving issues for its customers. This has resulted in the excellent financial performances during the year.

The company has been able to use the inter group strengths to assist with its problem solving.

The company will continue to actively seek extra tonnage, allocations and new relationships that will increase the tonnage traded.

Future developments & strategy
AB Nutrition is committed to its existing business model and has pursued additions to our trading team, that have joined the business post balance sheet, we believe that by creating a team with as much experience and knowledge as possible we can continue to deliver added value to our stakeholders with outstanding service. The business aims to continue to grow organically, with the emphasis on food factory co-products and by-products, thus supporting the overall group strategy.

Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Financial Risk Management
The company's operations expose it to a variety of risks that include price risk, product risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The board monitor these risk elements at monthly board meetings to ensure steps have been taken to minimise these risks to the business.

Price Risk
The company enters into forward contracts to procure and sell commodities. The majority of trades are done with a natural hedge of a purchase against a sale. In the event of a natural hedge not being available the business will seek to hedge around 80% of any significant open position in the market to lock in margins and reduce risk.

At 30th April 2024, the business had no significant open positions on its forward book.

This forward position is reviewed monthly and then the board will make a decision on what cover needs to be put in place.

Product Risk
AB Nutrition's primary concern will always be about protecting the feed chain, and assuring that the materials bought and sold meet the standard required by the industry.

Credit Risk
When appropriate, relevant credit checks are performed on potential customers before sales are made. The amount of exposure to any individual customer is controlled by means of a credit limit that is monitored regularly by management and in the case of a financially material value, by the Finance Director.

Liquidity Risk
AB Nutrition uses a number of different short and medium term financing in order to maintain liquidity. This is managed to ensure the business always has sufficient funds to meet its ongoing liabilities and working capital needs, as well as planned capital expenditure and expansion capital. The debt is monitored and reviewed monthly by the Finance Director.

Interest Rate Risk
The business has finance on variable interest rates on its banking and finance facilities. The risk is monitored and reviewed by the directors at group level. The directors keep under regular review current market rates and anticipated future market trends, and discuss this regularly at board meetings. The risk is assessed as low currently, due to the relatively low nature of the debt involved.

Climate Risk
Extreme weather events may affect inbound logistics. In some cases it is not possible to pass these extra costs on in the feed prices. The risks are monitored by the transport department. Climate change and more extreme weather conditions may also make raw material prices more volatile, as a result of changing harvest forecasts or disappointing harvest leading to shortages of certain raw materials. Our business model though has the flexibility built in to handle this volatility.

Health and Safety
The business has a strong and proactive compliance programme, with all accidents and incidents reported to board level and reviewed for any remedial actions. The businesses stated aim is to continue to improve health & safety and working environments for its entire staff.


A B Nutrition Limited (Registered number: 01897599)

Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024

Standards
The businesses internal focus is to drive up standards in all areas, including in engineering, production, logistics, health & safety, compliance and QA, employee & stakeholder engagement.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 ("the act") requires Directors to take into consideration the interests of stakeholders in their decision-making. A Director of a company must act in the way they consider, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, taking into account the factors as listed in section 172 of the Company Act 2006. The short form statement should be read in conjunction with the longer strategic report.

AB Nutrition Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of SugaRich Limited, engagement with our shareholders and wider stakeholder groups plays a vital role throughout the SugaRich business.

Stakeholders and engagement
As part of the identification of key stakeholders, the directors have identified the following stakeholder groups with whom engagement is fundamental to the Company's ongoing success:
. Employees
. Suppliers
. Customers
. Communities and Environment
. Governments
. Shareholders

Employees
The company employs 17 people. Our people are central to the Company's success and employee engagement is crucial to embedding the Company culture and values, and to helping our people see how their efforts contribute to their Company's strategic objectives. Key issues include, health and safety, diversity and inclusion and engagement and development. During the year, the Company undertook regular surveys, a regular newsletter with quality content, and provided an updated intranet and continued internal communications. A yearly management meeting is held for all the senior managers in the business.

Suppliers
We use a wide variety of suppliers with many complex supply chains. Our supplier code of conduct sets out the values and standards on which we seek to build and maintain relationships, including commitments on ethical, environmental and other relevant matters including on key issues such as payment practices, responsible sourcing, supply chain sustainability, human rights and modern slavery. Most conversations are maintained on a face to face basis, and reported back into the board at regular meetings.

Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024


Customers
As well as providing a product that is great value for money, the safety and health of our customers is of paramount importance to the Company. The company engages with its customers on a daily basis mostly by phone or face to face meetings, ensuring their feedback is properly considered. The Board is regularly updated by each business division on key customers and key issues impacting customers and consumers.

Communities and Environment
Supporting our local community is an important part of the Company's approach to spread our values and mission. The Company has an energy reduction initiative, and is committed to seeking sustainable solutions to environmental challenges and adapting our operations to respond to changes in the natural environment.

To achieve these goals the Company is always looking for ways to reduce energy use, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, manage waste, improve water management, and push waste up the waste hierarchy.

Governments
The Company can be impacted by changes in laws and public policy, and to ensure that the company is represented in discussions, we take a leading role with our trade body, the UKFFPA, (UK Former Foodstuffs Processing Association), liaising with AIC and Government on issues affecting our sector.

The Board is briefed on the engagement at regular meetings.

Shareholders
The Company reports up to its shareholders, and ultimately to the board of SugaRich Limited, through the senior management of the business, the Company takes appropriate steps to ensure that its shareholders are kept up to date on key business activities and decisions..

2025 Outlook
Raw material prices are expected to remain high due to the factors raised above. However this also applies to competing products and therefore we are expecting to see a positive result for the business in the 2025 year. Strong tonnage and margin in the first 6 months of the year support this expectation.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





P R Bright - Director


15 January 2025

A B Nutrition Limited (Registered number: 01897599)

Report of the Directors
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 April 2024.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of soft agricultural commodity traders.

DIVIDENDS
Dividends paid during the year totalled £1,200,000 (2023: £8,9222,000). The directors do not recommend a final dividend.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Future developments and financial risk analysis are not shown in the directors report as they are instead included in the strategic report on pages 2 to 5

DIRECTORS
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 May 2023 to the date of this report.

A C Newton
P R Bright
N A Keogh

Other changes in directors holding office are as follows:

J Knight - resigned 7 December 2023
D S Mackley - appointed 7 December 2023

POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
There have been no significant events affecting the company since the year end.

GOING CONCERN
The company has prepared budgets and forecasts that cover the period of 12 months from the date of the financial statements being authorised for issue in order to assess going concern. It is anticipated that the company's level of activity will remain fairly constant over that period with similar results being attained in line with the current trading period. The company has also sought comfort from it parent company that they will provide financial support should it be required. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and consequently have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING
In compliance with UK reporting requirements (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting), the directors provide the Company's UK energy and greenhouse emissions data in the table below.

The period for which the information is reported is from 1st May 2023 to 30th April 2024.


A B Nutrition Limited (Registered number: 01897599)

Report of the Directors
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024

The principal energy efficiency measures to reduce our carbon emissions this year include a reduction in petrol and diesel company cars, replacing with electric cars.

All of our operating sites use management systems accredited to ISO 14001.

We report our GHG inventory using the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard Revised Edition as our framework for calculations and disclosure. We use carbon conversion factors published by the UK's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy ("BEIS") in June 2022, this includes all activities where we have operational control.

Carbon Foot printing Finished Products
We have spent a great deal of time (along with our Trade Association) in evaluating the carbon impact of our finished products. This has allowed us to create a register that can be used by our customers to assess the carbon impact on their business of buying our products.

Having undertaken this work, we review the carbon impact of our products on a regular basis, utilitising the data gathered for SECR to assess any changes to the carbon footprint of our finished products.

AB Nutrition greenhouse gas emissions
The total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from our total energy use during 2024 was 162t (2023 161t) of CO2. This comprises of:
- Gas Oil 125t (2023 62t)
- Electricity 37t (2023 99t)
During the year we fitted Solar Panels to the roof of our operating centre, this has seen the large reduction in Electricity usage. The increase in the Gas Oil usage is inline with the increased tonnage running through the site.

Scope 1 and Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Our production processes emit GHG gases which contribute to climate change. We therefore carefully monitor our GHG emissions on two bases, namely: (a) per tonne of feed produced and (2) overall. We measure the amount of gas, oil and diesel (scope 1) and electricity (scope 2) which we use through both our own vehicle fleet and our plant operations. This is an area where we can make a difference through our own actions.

Greenhouse gas emissions (Kg of CO2 per tonne of feed)
GHG Kg per tonne of feed is 0.33 in 2024, (2023 0.36).

Report of the Directors
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the 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). 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 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 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.

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 company'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 company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
In accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution for the re-appointment of PKB Accountants Limited as auditors of the company is to be be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





P R Bright - Director


15 January 2025

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
A B Nutrition Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of A B Nutrition Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 April 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, 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 company's affairs as at 30 April 2024 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 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 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 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
A B Nutrition Limited


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 the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the 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
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 Report of the Directors.

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, 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 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 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
A B Nutrition Limited


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 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:

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.

. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the Animal by-products Regulations, Feed Hygiene Regulations,Environmental Act and Waste Disposal regulations for UK Businesses, the reporting framework FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland", Companies Act 2006, Bribery Act 2010, Money Laundering regulations and relevant tax compliance regulations in the United Kingdom.
. Other indirect laws and regulations that have an impact on the financial statements are the compliance with relevant employment law, health and safety regulations and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
. We understood how A B Nutrition Limited is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures. We corroborated our enquiries through the review of the following documentation or completion of the following procedures:
. Review of all minutes of board meetings held during the period and through to the most recent meeting held prior to the approval of these financial statements;
. Review of accounting policies and completion of a disclosure checklist to assess compliance with FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and Company law requirements;
. Review of any relevant correspondence with local tax authorities; and
. Review of any relevant correspondence received from regulatory bodies
. We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by holding a discussion within the audit team which included identification of related parties, understanding the company's business, the control environment and assessing the inherent risk for relevant assertions at the significant account level. We also held discussions with management and those charged with governance to gain an understanding of those areas of the financial statements which are susceptible to fraud, as identified by management. Following these procedures, we identified a risk of management override of control and risk of inappropriate revenue recognition. We gained an understanding of the entity level of controls and policies that the company applies.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

The functional currency of the company is Pound Sterling (£)

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
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. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of the financial statements in compliance with FRS102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the accounting policies.

The company has taken advantage of the exemption under S400 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts as it is a wholly owned subsidiary of SugaRich Limited. The Company's financial statements are individual entity financial statements. The Company's parent includes the Company in its consolidated statements. Note 17 details where copies of the consolidated accounts can be obtained from.

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":

. Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instrument Issues':
. Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments not measured at fair value;
. basis of determining fair values;
. Section 33 'Related Party Disclosures':
. Compensation for key management personnel

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

Going Concern
The company has prepared budgets and forecasts that cover the period for 12 months following the date the financial statements are authorised for issue in order to assess going concern. It is anticipated that the company's level of activity will remain fairly constant over that period with similar results being attained in line with the current trading period. The company has also sought comfort from it parent company that they will provide financial support should it be required. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and consequently have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

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. 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 also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the following conditions are satisfied :-

- The company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods
- 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 economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company
- The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably

Specifically, revenue is recognised when goods are delivered and legal title is passed.

Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided when the following conditions are satisfied:

- The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
- it is probable that the company will receive consideration due in line with contract terms

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to brining the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of the assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives on the following basis:

Plant and machinery- 25% on reducing balance / 25% on cost
Fixtures and fittings- 15% on reducing balance / 25% on cost
Computer equipment- 33% on cost

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and any costs of disposal and are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.

A B Nutrition Limited (Registered number: 01897599)

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same manner as owned assets.

At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its Tangible Fixed Assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined ( net of depreciation ) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amounts and are recognised within 'other operating income' in the Income Statement.

Stock
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is calculated on an average cost basis and includes all costs incurred in bringing the stock to their present location and condition.

When stocks are sold, the carrying amount of those stocks is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write down in stocks to net realisable value and all losses of stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the write down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write down of stocks is recognised as a reduction in the amount of stocks recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profits differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account as it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes 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 reporting date.

Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. The deferred tax balance has not been discounted.

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.

Assets that are held by the Company under leases which transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Company are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payment. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expense and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight - line basis.

Retirement benefits
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 the income statement 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.

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 and cash equivalents are basic financial instruments and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at 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.

Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to the Income Statement 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.

Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial asses and liabilities are offset, with 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.

Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, amounts owed by group undertakings and accrued income, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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.Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. 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 and loss..

If there is a 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.

Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, amounts due to fellow group companies, accruals, 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

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 with no stated interest rate or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in administrative expenses.

Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

Hedging
Forward contracts are recognised at fair value on initial recognition with any changes being recognised in the Income Statement.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the fair value of proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

Provisions for liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation and that the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.

Provisions are charged as an expense to the Income Statement in the year the company becomes aware of the obligation and are measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.

Interest income
Interest income is recognised in the Income Statement using the effective interest method.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:

(i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates based on physical condition and economic utilisation of the assets. See note 10 for the carrying amount of the assets and the accounting policies note Tangible Fixed Assets for the useful economic lives of each class of asset.

(ii) Impairment of debtors

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. See note 12 for the net carrying amount of the debtors.
(iii) Impairment of creditors

The company makes an estimate of the payable value of trade and other creditors including accruals. When assessing impairment of trade and other creditors including accruals, management considers factors including the ageing profile of the balances and historical experience. See note 11 and 12 for the net carrying amount of the creditors.
