STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024


The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The business environment continued to be challenging in 2024 from a geopolitical perspective, and also due to inflationary pressures. Continued focus on operational performance has again contributed towards the improved performance.

The business delivered a positive financial performance in 2024. Revenue grew to £16.8 million, an increase of 33.2% compared with 2023. The strong performance was driven by an increase in new pan sales. The gross profit margin declined to 14% compared to 22% in 2023. The mix of sales contributed to this decline and was in line with expected results. The business achieved a net profit of £377k compared to £52k in 2023. In general, costs were higher due to inflation but a continued focus on cost control helped to minimise the impact. The business also implemented some price increases to the customer base.

Our customer base remained loyal, and some new markets were established during the year. American Pan UK's approach to relationship management and being a business partner has proven successful alongside our quality promise and high service levels. The UK market remains strong. Business development initiatives in Ireland and some other European countries will see further growth in this business.

Cash in hand at the year end was in excess of £1 million, compared with an excess of £2 million in 2023. A strong sales finish led to an increase in debtors that impacted the cash availability. The repayment of shareholder loans was also a contributing factor to the cash reduction. Stock holding was reduced with a continued emphasis on lower raw material stock levels.

The management team are confident that the strategic direction American Pan UK is on is the right one, and will deliver on revenue and profitability growth in the next year. Supporting this approach are the ultimate shareholders who have committed to continue providing the necessary resources to the business.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The geopolitical landscape will continue to be a risk, but the business has put in place the appropriate policies to mitigate the said risk.

Environmental and sustainability requirements vary across the jurisdictions the business trades in, but American Pan UK are at the forefront of research and development to minimise this risk and stay abreast of legislative changes in the jurisdictions they sell into.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The Company's key performance indicators are considered to be revenue, gross profit margin and net profit. The analysis of these indicators has been considered within the Review of Business above.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISKS
Price risk
The Company manages price risk through buying strategies that include a mix of price hedging and leveraging group buying power. The Company works very strategically with its suppliers of core materials across Europe and in the USA. With the continuing unrest in Ukraine and Gaza coupled with the political situation in the USA, the Company is monitoring commodity pricing very closely.

Credit and cash flow risk
Credit management, be it offering or taking, is managed by the finance function. Robust control policies are in place to ensure debt is managed in a timely manner and risk is minimised.

Liquidity risk
Credit and cash flow management coupled with shareholders support ensure there is no liquidity risk. Payment terms with customers are set at levels that minimise any risk.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The business continues to invest in research and development and works closely with manufacturers to ensure they are abreast of market trends and future concepts. The business is also developing new markets through its networks of sales teams across Europe, and attending necessary trade shows.

THIRD PARTY INDEMNITIES
Qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of the directors were in force during the year under review and remain in force as at the date of approval of the financial statements.

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;
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.


AMERICAN PAN UK LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02826812)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued
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
The auditors, Rothmans Audit LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
AMERICAN PAN UK LTD


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of American Pan UK Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 31 December 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.

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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
AMERICAN PAN UK LTD


Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on pages three and four, 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.

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.

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:

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the Company operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the Financial Statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the Company. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and Health and Safety regulations.

Discussions were held within the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the Financial Statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As part of this discussion, we identified potential risk areas such as the completeness of revenue. Audit procedures were designed to ensure all of the risks were addressed.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
- reviewing any correspondence with regulators and the Company's legal advisors.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions and bias.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or 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 Report of the Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
AMERICAN PAN UK LTD


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.

Significant judgements and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

1) Leases
A lease that does not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership is classified as an operating lease and is therefore not included in the statement of financial position.

Other key sources of estimation uncertainty;

1) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. Residual value assessments consider issues such as market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.

Turnover
Turnover represents net sales during the year (excluding value added tax) adjusted for accrued and deferred income where applicable.

Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised on despatch.

Intangible fixed assets
Goodwill which represents the excess of cost of acquisitions of business over the value attributed to their net assets and other intangible assets, is amortised through the Income Statement by equal instalments over its estimated useful economic life.

Other intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an intangible asset, less its estimated residual value, evenly over the useful economic life of that asset as follows;

Goodwill- 10 years
Patents and licences- 5 years

Tangible fixed assets
All fixed assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of fixed assets initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life as follows:

Plant and machinery 10% to 20% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings10% to 20% reducing balance

No depreciation is provided on assets in the course of construction as the assets are not available for use. Depreciation will be provided on these assets when management consider them capable of operation.

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively.

Tangible fixed assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the Income Statement.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, on a 'first in, first out' basis. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less additional costs to completion and disposal.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the profit for the year and takes into account taxation deferred.

Current tax is measured at amounts expected to be paid using tax rates and laws that been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more, tax with the following exception:

- deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.


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

Operating lease commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

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

Financial instruments
The company only has financial assets and liabilities of the kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to the Income Statement over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.

3. TURNOVER

Turnover comprises the sale of goods to customers.

The analysis of turnover by geographical segment is not disclosed since, in the opinion of the directors, this would be prejudicial to the interests of the company.
