STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Looking ahead with confidence
Trading in the first 8 months of the 2025 financial year has been robust, with operating profits exceeding those recorded over the preceding 18 months. The strong cash generation is clear evidence of the business’ resilience and growth potential, which are supported by the new 5-year facility agreed in April 2025. With firm foundations in place, the Board is confident that the Group is well positioned to achieve its strategic ambitions and deliver long-term, sustainable success.
Section 172 statement
Statement by the directors in performance of their statutory duties in accordance with s172(1) Companies Act 2006 In accordance with section 172 of the Companies Act 2006, each director acts in a way they consider, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole. The Board ensures that all decisions are taken for the long term, and collectively and individually aims to always uphold the highest standard of conduct. Similarly, the Board acknowledges that the business can only grow and prosper over the long term if it understands and respects the views and needs of the company’s shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders to whom it is accountable, as well as the environment in which the business operates. The CEO, together with the Group Managing Director, sets the agenda for each Board meeting to ensure that requirements of section 172 are always met and considered through a combination of the following:
∙Board papers ensure that stakeholder factors are addressed, where relevant.
∙Health & Safety performance is always the first item on the agenda. Other standing agenda points include updates on operational and financial performance against objectives, including progress against budget and cash position.
∙At the time of undertaking the annual budgeting exercise, the Board considers the strategic direction of the
business and how this fulfils the Group’s long-term objectives. The Board recognises that its strategic decisions can have long-term implications for the business and its stakeholders, and these implications are assessed as a core part of the decision-making process.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Employee engagement
Attraction and retention of skilled people are core to the success of the Group. Employee engagement is extremely important to the Board, and there are several workforce engagement mechanisms in place:
∙Employees are kept informed of performance, strategy and short-term outlook through regular news briefings and updates from members of the Board, including Town Hall presentations by the Group Managing Director to the whole company.
∙Employee engagement surveys are undertaken, with results and proposed action plans shared with the Board.
∙The Workplace Council, made up of employees and hosted by a Board member, meets monthly provides a valuable source of insights and ideas.
∙Pay rates and benefit structures are reviewed regularly to ensure every colleague receives fair pay.
∙Employee-related topics including staff welfare, workplace morale, succession planning and promoting diverse recruitment are regular agenda items at monthly main Board meetings.
∙The group operates a Valuing Diversity and Dignity at Work Policy.
Having regard to the need to foster the company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others
Suppliers
The Board recognises the importance of fostering long-term, collaborative relationships with key suppliers to support the Group’s growth, innovation and sustainability, while balancing value for shareholders to ensure mutual benefit.
The Group is proud to have pioneered certifications and standards in the industry and supply chain, including the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), which focuses on improved land management and animal welfare for British farms and farmers, and the Red Tractor assured farm standards. Hypnos has supported the Woolkeepers® initiative since 2019 to achieve these standards whilst providing British farmers a fair price for their wool. 2024 saw the RWS standard applied to 60 UK farms. The Group Managing Director and other members of the senior management team (SMT) work with suppliers on projects including New Product Development, implementing new standards, and sharing experience from key initiatives. Third party guidance is introduced as needed, for example from Planet Mark, to aid continuous development programmes to benefit product, service and sustainability goals. This work is reported on and reviewed at Board and SMT meetings.
Customers
Customer obsession is one of the Group’s core values, alongside sustainable innovation, responsibility, and integrity. Customer and consumer sentiment is reflected in sales performance, which is reviewed regularly by the Board. Senior management also provides updates to the Board on their perceptions of customer sentiment and the market outlook. Customer interests are considered in strategic decision-making across key areas, including product portfolio changes, brand image and reputation, maintaining an innovative approach to sustainability, development of IT systems to facilitate doing business with the Group, and investment in marketing. Credit facility providers and credit reference agencies Alongside the Group Managing Director, the Group Finance Director is responsible for managing the relationships with banks and credit rating agencies, and for the Group’s cash, debt management and financing activities. The Group Finance Director provides regular reports to the Board on these activities, including plans to ensure appropriate access to debt capital and monitoring the headroom of credit facilities.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Having regard to the impact of the company’s operations on the community and the environment Operating sustainably and responsibly is at the heart of the Group’s values and operations, evidenced by ISO 14001 certification and a proactive approach to reducing emissions. More information can be found in the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Report. The Group’s 6-year relationship with the Eden Project has influenced multiple areas of the business including sourcing, and linking to local conservation and community. In addition to encouraging colleagues’ fundraising and volunteering initiatives, each year the Group supports selected national and local charity partners with monetary donations, volunteering and driving awareness. Beneficiaries have included Chiltern Rangers, The Furniture Makers’ Company benevolent fund, Pace Centre, and Youth Concern.
The Board has overall responsibility for the management of risk and the identification of principal risks that may affect achievement of the Group’s strategic objectives. Risk management is an integral part of decision-making, with risks and mitigations evaluated regularly. The principal [financial and liquidity] risks identified by the Group are outlined below.
The Group’s primary financial instruments are trade creditors, cash at bank, overdrafts and inter-company balances. These arise directly from the Group’s trading activities and management have implemented procedures to monitor and control the liquidity and credit risks relating to the Group’s financial affairs. Through Project Rightsize, the Group utilised its cash and cash equivalents to execute the accelerated change programme, funding short-term impact costs strategically over the reporting period. Credit risk The Group has a confidential invoice discounting facility, a specific credit insurance policy to cover credit risk, and a policy to actively review client credit scores. Bad debts remain low, and credit control processes are reviewed regularly to ensure they are appropriate for the Group’s risk appetite Cash flow risk The Group operates a detailed cash flow forecasting process and proactively seeks appropriate funding to support its ambitions. As the Group has significantly reduced its fixed costs this risk is considered to be minimal. Price risk The Group is not significantly exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices, and the diversity of its supplier base would help minimise any potential impact. Foreign exchange risk The Group does not use derivative financial instruments and instead relies on a natural hedge between receivables and payables in foreign currencies.

KEEN & TOMS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KEEN & TOMS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Keen & Toms Partnership Limited (the 'Company') for the period ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KEEN & TOMS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 period 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.

KEEN & TOMS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KEEN & TOMS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 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. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with law and regulations, was as follows: i)Companies Act 2006. ii) FRS 102. iii) Tax legislation. iv) Employment legislation.

KEEN & TOMS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KEEN & TOMS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (CONTINUED)
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by:
∙Making enquiries of management as to where they consider there was susceptibility to fraud and their knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud;
∙Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Reviewing the financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation;
∙Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies;
∙Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions;
∙Assessing whether judgement and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates, were indicative of management bias; and
∙Investigating the rationale behind significant transactions, or transactions that are unusual or outside the company’s usual course of business.
The areas that we identified as being susceptible to misstatement through fraud were:
∙Management bias in the estimates and judgements made;
∙Management override of controls; and
∙Posting of unusual journals or transactions.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to and from related parties.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost. Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of financial position when there is an 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.
