| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The principal activities of the group in the year under review was that of caravan park operators, contract millers, haulier and farming operations. In addition, the group holds a significant number of investment properties. |
| The group sold one of its caravan parks during the year, which has allowed the repayment of all bank debt. |
| They are also pleased to report a further gain on the pension scheme obligations of £196,000, (2023 : £299,000) in respect of the defined benefit scheme operated by subsidiary, Maizecor Foods Limited. As described in note 11, this company went into Administration after the year end. |
| The group has continued to invest in fixed assets and investment properties, which the directors hope will provide additional benefits to the group in future years. |
| The key financial highlights are featured below: |

| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The farming sector which the group operates within, can be influenced by other external factors including the weather and fluctuations in grain prices. The group monitors the spot grain rate to ensure it achieves the desired selling price. |
| Post year end the group ceased its milling operations when subsidiary, Maizecor Foods Limited was placed into Administration. |
| The group however, continues to undertake grain haulage for this sector. |
| The group continues to receive rental property income from its investment properties portfolio and due to the profile of its tenants, expects this to continue. |
| For the above reasons, the board considers that the group is a going concern and have continued to prepare the financial statements on that basis. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| The group intends to maintain it's high standards in servicing the caravan sector. The directors are also keen to expand their portfolio of investment properties and agricultural land which will continue to be farmed by the group as well as delivering a high quality haulage service. |

| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2024 to the date of this report. |
| DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
| In accordance with Section 414C (11) of the Companies Act 2006, the company has chosen to report details concerning financial instruments and future developments within the strategic report. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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. |
| The directors are 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 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 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 directors are 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 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 group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| M. B. GOODWIN (SKIPSEA) LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of M. B. Goodwin (Skipsea) Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of 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 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 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 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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Emphasis of matter |
| We draw your attention to the investment property valuations which have been carried out by the directors and the comments of the directors in note 12 to the financial statements. Due to the property portfolio held and the current uncertainty in the global and UK markets there may be a material variance on the fair value of these properties, should they be sold on the open market. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| M. B. GOODWIN (SKIPSEA) 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 Directors 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 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 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 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 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 directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page 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 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 directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| M. B. GOODWIN (SKIPSEA) 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 the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud |
| Irregularities are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit. |
| In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. |
| However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud. |
| In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team: |
| - | obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector, including the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company and it's group operates in, including whether the company and it's group is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks; |
| - | inquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud; |
| - | discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud. |
| As a result of these procedures we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland", the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax compliance regulations. We performed audit procedures to detect non-compliance which may have a material impact on the financial statements which included reviewing financial statement disclosures, inspecting correspondence with relevant tax authorities and evaluating advice received from third party advisors. |
| The most significant laws and regulations that have an indirect impact on the financial statements are those in relation to health and safety, data protection and employment law. We performed audit procedures to inquire of management whether the company and it's group is in compliance with these laws. This work included evaluating correspondence with third party consultants. |
| The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls and the risk of fraud in revenue recognition as the areas where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to; |
| - | testing material journal entries throughout the year and evaluating their business rationale; |
| - | reviewing key controls and account reconciliations; |
| - | testing material bank transactions for business rationale; |
| - | on a sample basis, reviewing authorisation procedures of business expenditure, including review of supporting documentation. |
| 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 |
| M. B. GOODWIN (SKIPSEA) 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. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which assumes that the group is able to continue operating as a going concern. |
| The board have considered this assumption, and having considered all relevant factors, the board are of the opinion that the going concern basis of accounting remains appropriate. |
| Basis of consolidation |
| The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 December each year. The results of the subsidiaries acquired or sold are consolidated for the periods from or to the date on which control passed. Acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method. |
| 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 |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The company and group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below. |
| i. Useful economic lives of tangible assets |
| The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. |
| ii. Valuation of investment properties |
| The directors revalue the company's and group's investment properties each year. The determination of the fair value of each property requires the use of estimates and assumptions in relation to factors such as future rental income, current market yields and future development costs. |
| iii. Pension obligations |
| The group has obligations to pay pension benefits to certain employees. The cost of these benefits and the present value of the obligation depends on a number of factors including, life expectancy, salary increases, asset valuations and the discount rate on corporate bonds. The group uses an actuary to estimate these factors to determine the net pension obligation in the balance sheet. The assumptions reflect historical experience and current trends. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents net invoiced sale of goods and services, excluding value added tax. |
| Income regarding site fees and insurance is deferred and released over the term of the chargeable period, with the deferred amount being recorded as a current liability. |
| Haulage income is recorded on a work done basis. |
| Farm income is recorded as crops are sold. |
| Contract income is recorded as the milling work is fulfilled. |
| Caravan sales are recognised on supply of the goods to the customer. |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill represents a nominal sum of £1 paid for an acquisition in 2001, and was retained on the balance sheet at cost. This has now been disposed of as part of the sale of one of the group's caravan parks. |
| Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiary undertakings, representing any excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, is capitalised and written off on a straight line basis over its useful economic life, which is 10 years. Provision is made for any impairment. |
| Negative goodwill is similarly included in the balance sheet and is credited to the profit and loss account in the periods in which the acquired non-monetary assets are recovered through depreciation or sale. Negative goodwill in excess of the fair values of the non-monetary assets acquired is credited to the profit and loss account in the periods expected to benefit. |

| Investment property |
| Investment properties are included at fair value. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement. |
| Deferred taxation is provided on these gains and losses at the rate expected to apply when the properties are sold. |
| Stocks |
| Stock are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Costs comprise the direct production cost of crops, any overheads are charged to the profit and loss as incurred. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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 |
| 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 the income statement over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| 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 group operates a defined benefit plan for certain employees. A defined benefit plan defines the pension benefit that the employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent upon several factors including age, length of service and remuneration. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. |
| The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of the defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of the plan assets at the reporting date. |
| The defined benefit obligation is calculated using the projected unit credit method. Annually the group engages independent actuaries to calculate the obligation.The present value is determined by discounting the estimated future payments using market yields on high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in sterling and that have terms approximating the estimated period of the future payments. |
| The fair value of plan assets is measured in accordance with the FRS102 fair value hierarchy and in accordance with the Group's policy for similarly held assets. This includes the use of appropriate valuation techniques. |
| Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. These amounts together with the return on the plan assets, less amounts included in net interest, are disclosed as remeasurement of net defined benefit liability. |
| The cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in profit or loss as employee costs, except where included in the cost of an asset, comprises: |
| - the increase in pension benefit liability arising from employee service during the period; and |
| - the cost of plan introductions, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. |
| The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is recognised in the income statement as finance expense. |
| Payments in respect of other post-retirement benefits are charged to income statement in the period to which they relate. |
| Property rents |
| Property rents are recorded on a net rent receivable basis. |
| Investments |
| Fixed asset investments in group subsidiaries are recorded at cost less any provision for any diminution in value. |
| Listed investments are shown at fair value with any revaluation gains or losses being recorded in the profit and loss account. |
| Other unlisted investments are recorded at cost. |
