GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024


The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Turnover in the year/period was £15m (2023: £16.4m). The reported profit after tax of £151,529 (2023: £261,688) is stated after £204,562 (2023: £5,859 expenses) of exceptional income which is described in Note 4 of the financial statements.

The group monitors performance through the following KPIs:
- Turnover
- Profit before exceptional items.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Management consider the full range of risks affecting the group on a regular basis, and where appropriate take action to address such risks. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the group are detailed below:

Supply Risk
Key raw materials are sourced from a market that is particularly sensitive to supply levels. In order to reduce the risk of over exposure to a single supplier or sub-market, and to ensure competitive pricing, the group aims to maintain a relationship with at least 2 suppliers for each product. Suppliers from outside the European Union have also been sourced to further mitigate risk.

Raw material prices have stabilised during 2024 and material lead-times have relaxed. High stock levels in the supply chain has meant material price reductions have not reduced as quickly as anticipated. Whilst price increase have been passed on where possible, this has impacted gross profit to some degree.

Customer Risk
The group has a good mixed customer base and does not feel over dependent on any one customer or sector. The group has a good record of minimising bad debts and takes the necessary steps to ensure the risk is minimised.

Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange rates remain volatile. Management continue to review the volume of contracts entered into that are derived in foreign currencies. The current position of not hedging this risk is regularly considered, and should management consider the need, appropriate hedging strategies will be entered into.

Ukraine
The ongoing crisis in Ukraine has driven up prices of primary raw materials. The group continues to manage supply risk as outlined above.

Cost of Living
Further pressure on wage costs during 2024 have been managed by improved productivity and capital investments. Consumer behaviour to move to lower price products supports our growth with supply into supermarket brands.

WFP HOLDINGS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 12865593)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024


The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the group in the year under review was that of the manufacture of packaging materials.

DIVIDENDS
Interim dividends in the year totalling £92,630 (2023: £88,356) were paid on the Ordinary £1 shares. The total distribution of dividends in the year was £92,630 (2023: £88,356).

The director recommends no final dividend (2023: none).

DIRECTOR
W Fitzpatrick held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2024 to the date of this report.

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). 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 DECEMBER 2024


AUDITORS
The auditors, Clarke Nicklin LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





W Fitzpatrick - Director


26 September 2025

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
WFP HOLDINGS LIMITED


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of WFP Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the group's profit for the year then ended;
-have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the 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
WFP HOLDINGS 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 three, 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
WFP HOLDINGS 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:

Procedures to identify risks:
- enquiring of management concerning the company's procedures relating to: identifying, evaluating and
complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance;
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual,
suspected or alleged fraud;
- discussing among 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 for
fraud in the following areas: timing of recognition of sales and purchases and their related stock
movements, posting of unusual journals; and
- obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks 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 UK Companies Act, employment law, health and safety, pensions legislation and
tax legislation.

The procedures to respond to risks identified included:
- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess
compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above;
- enquiring of management, concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate
risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
- reviewing correspondence with HMRC;
- testing the timing and matching of income and expense transactions relating to stock movements
either side of the year end; and
- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of
journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting
estimates are 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. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detection one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment, by for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentation, 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 Report of the Auditors.

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 financial statements are presented in Sterling (£).

Going concern
The director has a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The director has reached this conclusion giving due consideration to the projected future performance of the group and any potential risk that might impact the group's ability to meet its required solvency levels. For this reason, he continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated profit and loss account and balance sheet include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings. The results of subsidiaries acquired or sold during the period are included in the consolidated profit and loss account from, or up to, the date control passes. Intra-group transactions are eliminated fully on consolidation.

On acquisition of a subsidiary, the subsidiary's assets and liabilities that exist at the date of acquisition are recorded at their fair values reflecting their condition at that date. All changes to those assets and liabilities, and the resulting gains and losses that arise after the group has gained control of the subsidiary are charged to the post acquisition profit and loss account.

Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Significant judgements and 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 revision only affects that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following judgements and estimates have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Legal dispute - Exceptional income and expenses are estimated and detailed in Note 4. The group has been awarded damages and costs following a long running court case relating to a property purchase. Part of this award has been paid, but the balance has still not been received and the group have and are taking legal action to ensure the full outstanding amounts are recovered.
Depreciation - The useful life of fixed assets can vary significantly. Estimates are based on historic experience and current expectations of useful life. The size of prior year gains and losses on disposal are also factored in to estimates.
Bad debts - The director regularly reviews debts and provide for those which are doubtful.
Stock provisions - The director regularly reviews the net realisable value of stock and provide for any excess above cost.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Turnover is recognised as goods are despatched.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2021, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Intangible assets
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.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Plant and machinery - 10% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost

Stocks
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition.

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 balance sheet date.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Foreign currencies
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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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.

Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Trade creditors
Trade creditors 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 the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
