Strategic Report
For the Year Ended 31 December 2023
The directors present the audited annual report and accounts for the year ending 31 December 2023.
The company is an intermediate holding company. All trading subsidiaries operate in the transport, distribution and warehousing industry.
The directors have performed a review of the performance of their subsidiaries. The directors are satisfied with the performance of the investments except for certain subsidiaries.. In relation to these subsidiaries the decision has been taken to impair the investment value by £44,257,239. The split of this impairment by entity is as follows:
∙Foulger Transport Limited £10,157,329 impairment
∙Lambert Brothers Holdings Limited £1,500,000 impairment
∙A J Maiden and Son Limited £2,700,000 impairment
∙Fresh Freight Limited £1,500,000 impairment
∙AKW Group Limited £19,000,000 impairment
∙David Hathaway Transport Limited £9,400,000 impairment.
Underlying business performance remained challenging as a result of cost inflationary pressures and well documented headwinds in the UK economy. Our trading entities have not been immune from these factors and the challenges associated with passing on price increases to customers to offset these factors or gaining additional volumes to utilise spare capacity in the business. The national driver shortage across the UK Logistics sector continues to put quality service providers at an advantage for customers who value strong service levels. Our investment in recruitment, vehicles, facilities and wage rates should continue to ensure we do our utmost to retain our loyal and experienced drivers across the group.
Financial Instruments
The company's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade creditors, trade debtors, invoice discounting facilities, intercompany loans, Vendor loans and medium term loans. The main purpose of these instruments is to finance the company's operations. Due to the nature of the financial instruments used by the company, there is little exposure to price risk, but there is exposure to interest rate risk. There are no interest rate hedge instruments in place within the company. The company's approach to managing other risks applicable to the financial instruments concerned is shown below. In respect of bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between the continuity of funding and flexible borrowing. The intercompany loan carries no interest and deals with transactions in the course of trading. Vendor loans are repayable on an agreed basis. There are no currency risks. Other risks and uncertainties There are no other risks and uncertainties.

Directors' Report (continued)
For the Year Ended 31 December 2023
On 21 December 2024, following an extended restructuring process, the Group repaid in full the entire term loan facility agreement with DE Shaw and replaced it with a new term loan of £39 million, alongside 90% equity in the Group. The loan notes carry a fixed interest rate of 8%, payable in cash if certain liquidity conditions are met or, alternatively, rolled up as Payment In Kind (PIK) interest. The loan is secured by a fixed and floating charge over the assets of the Group.
The new facility is due for repayment in June 2027, with an option to break in June 2026. This successful restructuring provides the Group with short- to medium-term financial stability, enabling it to focus on delivering its strategic objectives. On 21 December 2024, the ultimate controlling party of Kinaxia Limited changed from Ensco 1477 Limited to DELALV Delaware Holdco, L.L.C., a company registered in Delaware, USA. The transfer of control occurred as part of a group restructuring. In March 2024 the trading subsidiary of AKW Global Logistics Birmingham Ltd ceased trading following a strategic review of the business when its property lease became due for renewal. Management's conclusion was that it was not economically viable to renew the property lease on the terms offered. As a result, the trade and assets were either split between the rest of the group or transferred to a 3rd party.
The auditors, Hurst Accountants Limited, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Kinaxia Transport and Warehousing Limited
We have audited the financial statements of Kinaxia Transport and Warehousing Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
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.
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

Kinaxia Transport and Warehousing Limited
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Kinaxia Transport and Warehousing Limited (continued)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
∙The nature of the industry and sector in which the company operates; the control environment and business performance including key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets.
∙The outcome of enquiries of local management and parent company management, including whether management was aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations, and whether management had knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud.
∙Supporting documentation relating to the Company's policies and procedures for:
°Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations
°Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud
∙The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
∙The outcome of discussions amongst the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
∙The legal and regulatory framework in which the Company operates, particularly those laws and regulations which have a direct effect on the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006, pensions and tax legislation, or which had a fundamental effect on the operations of the Company, including General Data Protection requirements, Anti-bribery and Corruption, and the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
Audit response to risks identified Our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
∙Reviewing the financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with the provisions of those relevant laws and regulations which have a direct effect on the financial statements.
∙Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
∙Evaluation of the operating effectiveness of management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities.
∙Enquiring of management about any actual and potential litigation and claims.
∙Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships which may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
∙Reading minutes of meetings of those charges with governance.

Kinaxia Transport and Warehousing Limited
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Kinaxia Transport and Warehousing Limited (continued)
We have also considered the risk of fraud through management override of controls by:
∙Testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments. We have used data analytics software to identify accounting transactions which may pose a heightened risk of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
∙Challenging assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimates, and assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and
∙Evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations are from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of them. Also, 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.
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.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The following paragraphs set out the basis of which the directors have reached their conclusion.
The company has net current liabilities of £74,113,855 (2022: £71,439,800) at 31 December 2023 and generated a loss after tax of £50,072,222 (2022: loss £4,120,533) for the year ended 31 December 2023. The losses in year ending 31 December 2023 were materially impacted by the investment impairment charge of £44,257,329 which is a non-cash impacting adjustment. On 21 December 2024, following an extended restructuring process, the Group repaid in full the entire term loan facility agreement with DE Shaw and replaced it with a new term loan of £39 million, alongside 90% equity in the Group. The loan notes carry a fixed interest rate of 8%, payable in cash if certain liquidity conditions are met or, alternatively, rolled up as Payment In Kind (PIK) interest. The loan is secured by a fixed and floating charge over the assets of the Group. The new facility is due for repayment in June 2027, with an option to break in June 2026. This successful restructuring provides the Group with short- to medium-term financial stability, enabling it to focus on delivering its strategic objectives. This successful restructuring process provides certainty to the Group in the short to medium term allowing it to focus on delivering its strategic objectives. The Directors believe it is appropriate therefore to prepare the financial statements to 31 December 2023 on a going concern basis. Revenue comprises recharges to related entities of expenditure incurred on their behalf and is recognised in the same period in which the expenditure is incurred.

For the Year Ended 31 December 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.

Kinaxia Transport and Warehousing Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Interest bearing loans and borrowings
Obligations for loans and borrowings are recognised when the Group becomes party to the related contracts and are measured initially at the fair value of consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses arising on the repurchase, settlement or otherwise cancellation of liabilities are recognised respectively in finance revenue and finance cost. Derecognition of financial liabilities A liability is derecognised when the contract that gives rise to it is settled, sold, cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such as an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability, such that the difference in the respective carrying amounts together with any costs or fees incurred are recognised in profit or loss.

Investments in subsidiaries Management exercises judgement in assessing the recoverability of investments in subsidiaries. Where indicators of impairment exist, discounted cash flow forecasts are prepared to determine the recoverable amount of the investments. These forecasts involve assumptions regarding future cash flows, discount rates, and other relevant factors. During the year, an impairment charge of £44,257k (2022: £nil) was recognised in the profit and loss account to reflect the revised recoverable amount of certain investments in subsidiaries.
