| Group Strategic Report |
| for the year ended 31 March 2025 |
| The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| The company's performance has been in accordance with the expectations of the director. The company has shown a high degree of resilience in a competitive industry to achieve targeted results. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| Turnover for the group has increased compared to that of last year; the rise in turnover has been in line with expectations. The company acquired a subsidiary in the last quarter of the year. Profitability over the period has also increased mainly due to the increase in sales and better cost controls.The director expect this trend of growth in sales to continue leading to an increase in contribution towards fixed costs and the resultant increase in profitability of the group. Overheads grew proportionately less than last year due to better cost control. Overheads are semi-fixed thus there was a positive impact on groups profits because of the increase in sales revenue. This is expected to further improve as sales grow and generate more contribution to profit. The companies in the group sell mainly fruits and vegetables and basic food items and the general economic cycle of the country has not impacted much on the industry in which they operate. The main threat to the group are their competitors. The company's main strategy is to provide a complete service to customers thereby increasing their customer base and the resulting impact on the turnover of the group. The companies aim at specific markets (and customers) to ensure that a clear strategy to win and maintain these new customers is implemented and sustained. |
| The directors recognise the importance of all of its staff and would like to thank them for all their hard work and efforts throughout the year in helping the company make this remarkable achievement. |
| The results for the year and the financial position of the company are shown in the annexed financial statements. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The company's ability to get an insurance cover is key to their ability to acquire inputs on consignment. Most of the purchases are on consignment and the consignors require an insurance cover to be in place to continue supplying on consignment. The level of cover depends on the financial health of the company. This is managed by keeping a close watch on monthly results and dealing with poor performing lines on a timely basis. Furthermore, the stock levels are generally very low due to the perishable nature of the products. The company, therefore, depends on the reliability of the suppliers to meet their orders at short notice to prevent stock out leading to loss of customers and reputation degradation. |
| To manage this risk for each product, the company maintains more than one supplier to fulfil the required orders to ensure that the failure of one supplier will not affect their ability to meet anticipated demand and maintain customer satisfaction. |

| Group Strategic Report |
| for the year ended 31 March 2025 |
| The main performance indicators are the sales and the profit margins. Most products are sold at an agreed margin thereby leading to a positive correlation between sales and profit. All other costs apart from cost of sales are fairly fixed. The directors monitor these on a monthly basis to ensure that poor performers are picked up on time and dealt with. They also ensure that other overheads are within cost limits as their effect on the ability to remain in operational existence and profitability is very critical. |
| The Key Performance Indicators over the last two years are as follows: |
| 2025 | 2024 |
| £ | £ |
| Turnover | 54,714 | 52,180 |
| Gross Profit | 5,614 | 4,811 |
| Net Profit before tax | 2,245 | 1,864 |
| The directors believe that other variables of performance indicators are marginal and are not the best indicators of the overall performance, development and position of the company. |
| POLICY ON PAYMENT OF CREDITORS |
| The policy of the company is to agree terms of payment prior to commencing trade with a supplier and to abide by those terms on a timely submission of invoices. |
| POLICY ON EMPLOYEES |
| The company is committed to achieving a working environment which provides equality of opportunity and freedom from unlawful discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, disability or age, pregnancy or maternity, trade union membership or the fact that they are part-time workers. The company's Equality and Diversity policy aims to remove unfair and discriminatory practices within the company and to encourage full contribution from its diverse community. The company is committed to actively opposing all forms of discrimination. The company also aims to provide a service that does not discriminate against its clients in the means by which they can access the services supplied by the company. The company believes that the directors, employees and customers are entitled to be treated with respect and dignity.The company's employment policy is to provide equal opportunity to all current and prospective employees without any discrimination. They endeavour to provide a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. |
| SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENT AND ETHICAL MATTERS |
| The company believes that by operating in an ethical and social aware manner they will help preserve the environment; that being an integral part of efficient and profitable business management. The directors recognise that success in these areas depends on the involvement and commitment of everyone in the organisation. |

| DIRECTOR |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director 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. |

| Report of the Director |
| for the year ended 31 March 2025 |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Alton & Co, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Canim Fruit & Veg Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Canim Fruit & Veg Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 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 March 2025 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 Report of the Director, 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 |
| Canim Fruit & Veg 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director 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 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 Report of the Director. |
| 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 Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page five, 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Canim Fruit & Veg 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: |
| We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that are applicable to the company and determined that the most significant are the food standards regulation, money laundering and anti bribery regulations. We understand how the company is complying with those regulations by making enquiries of management and key personel; we also reviewed correspondence files. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements using our general commercial and sector experience, through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards) and from inspection of the company's regulatory and legal correspondence. We discussed with the directors and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated those identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
| Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Through these procedures, we did not become aware of actual or suspected non-compliance. |
| Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Canim Fruit & Veg Limited |
| Use of our report |
| This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors 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. |

| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| 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. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Goods on consignment |
| Goods acquired on consignment are not recognised as the company's purchases until the title of the goods changes to the company. This occurs when the goods are sold. |
