GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The Directors have pleasure in submitting their Strategic Report of the group for the year ended 31 December 2024 to comply with s414C of the Companies Act 2006.
The strategic objective of the group is to grow its manufacturing operations in savoury pastry products and wholesales of cooked meats. The senior management team are committed to constantly reviewing processes, procedures and operating expenses to ensure that they minimise or eliminate waste and monitor costs.
The group has reported turnover of £103.6m (2023: £106.3m) in what continues to be a competitive marketplace servicing the UKs leading supermarket and food retailers. Commodity price increases have been incurred which spiralled in 2022 in the wake of the war in Ukraine, leading to the company working closely with the customer base to review the product offering and pricing. A profit before tax for the year ended 31 December 2024 is reported at £5.4m compared to a profit before tax of £6.6m for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The group continues to hold the Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards for food safety, undertaking this against issue 9 throughout its subsidiaries during 2024 as well as being successfully audited by both our customers and Environmental Health bodies.
Throughout the year, the company has continued to invest in employees at all levels, which we believe to be important, not least for the productivity gains that result.

Throughout the year, the company has continued to invest in employees at all levels, which we believe to be important, not least for the productivity gains that result.
The Directors are always seeking new markets and new opportunities to take the group forward. The group is well positioned for the 2025 trading year with strong demand from its existing customer base. The group intends to invest in the manufacturing facilities and equipment, to assist with meeting demand.
The group uses KPIs to monitor the performance against its strategy across its subsidiaries. KPIs used include sales growth, customer service level, and manufacturing efficiency. Management consider it commercially sensitive to disclose these in the financial statements.
The group is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are continually monitored by the directors. Where possible steps are put in place to mitigate, with the key areas of principal risk or uncertainty together with mitigating actions and controls are given as below:
Product Quality & Safety – excellent food safety is imperative to maintain consumer confidence in our products. Mitigating Action: procedures exist to ensure food safety is maintained, supported by robust audit processes, both internally and by external regulatory bodies.
Commodity Prices – changes in commodity prices, utilities and other raw materials could impact the company margins and financial performance or customer value. Mitigating Action: where possible securing fixed pricing with suppliers to limit price volatility and obtain best value, as well as running periodic reviews of market pricing and adjusting prices accordingly.
Foreign Exchange Currency – the company is exposed to currency exchange rate risk due to a significant proportion of its payables being denominated in Euros and US Dollars for the year under review. Mitigating Action: The exposure is monitored by the Board of Directors and managed using forward contracts.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £3,796,924 (2023: £4,547,109).
During the period dividends of £7,540,000 were paid.
The directors who served during the year were:
The Health and Safety of everyone in the group is of paramount importance and we continually strive for a positive Health and Safety culture across all our sites and that involves all our employees.
We continue to invest in initiatives to maintain the highest level of Health and Safety, integrated alongside our quality and environmental programmes.
We remain committed to rewarding our people as well as we can and we continue to differentiate from of our competitors by paying the same rate to employees of all ages, including new starters.
Communication with staff is accorded a high priority and employees are kept informed of the group and individual company activities through regular briefings and staff updates. Complaints can be raised with the directors by e-mail or through a group confidential telephone hotline or e-mail address.
Initiatives have been introduced at group level such as providing all employees with access to a third-party suite of exclusive benefits, free advice and savings with the UK's largest retailers and service providers.
At individual manufacturing site level, each company has built upon existing employee engagement programmes closely aligned with requirements under the BRGCS food safety culture plan.
In 2023, this has been demonstrated when two of our sites launched an enterprise grade mobile solution which has enabled our staff across production, maintenance, supply chain and quality, to become connected and collaborate using real-time data. This has led to faster, more open and transparent communication at all levels across our sites, resulting in greater engagement whilst empowering staff to contribute their full potential.

The development of long-term relationship is critical to the success of the group. Such relationships have enabled the group to focus on making long-term decisions without being to the detriment of short terms targets.
The group is committed to working with our customers to deliver the highest quality product range through investment in our production facilities.
Through the introduction of new technology, our communication methods have evolved, and this has helped us to ensure that we have not lost the direct communication with our suppliers.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group strategic report, the Directors' report and the consolidated 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.
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 the Group and to 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INDIGO FOOD GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Indigo Food Group Holdings Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company 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 Group 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 Group's or 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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INDIGO FOOD GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group 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 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 Directors' report.

INDIGO FOOD GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INDIGO FOOD GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Group 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 have considered the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance.
∙We have considered the results of our enquiries of management, including the Finance Director, about their own identification and assessment of the risk of regularities.
For any matters identified we have obtained and reviewed the Group's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
∙Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
∙Detecting and responding to the risk of fraud and whether they have knowledge of actual, suspected, or alleged fraud; and,
∙The internal controls established to mitigate the risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
∙We have considered the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud, and incorrect recognition of revenue was identified as the greatest potential area for fraud.
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Group operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amount and disclosures in the financial statements. They key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and tax legislation.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Group's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. These included health and safety.
We identified management override as a key audit matter related to the potential risk of fraud, our procedures to respond to risks included the following:
∙Performing various substantive tests of detail related to the recognition of revenue
∙Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
∙Enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation claims;
∙Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement or fraud; and
∙Testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of potential bias and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that ar unusual or outside the normal course of business
Page 8
INDIGO FOOD GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INDIGO FOOD GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
These procedures were performed at both a parent company and subsidiary level as appropriate.
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.
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 any 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.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of detecting one due to error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.We have considered the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance.
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.
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 an Auditors' report 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Indigo Food Group Holdings Limited is a limited liability Company incorporated in the UK and registered in England and Wales. The registered office is 10 Templeback, Bristol, BS1 6FL.
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of comprehensive income in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
The directors are satisfied that the Group and Company has sufficient funding available to meet all its liabilities as they fall due. The directors have prepared forecasts which demonstrate the company will be able to operate for a period of at least 12 months within its anticipated cash resources. Therefore the directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the Group's share of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis to the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income over its useful economic life of 10 years.
Page 18
INDIGO FOOD GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
In the consolidated accounts, interests in associated undertakings are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under this method an equity investment is initially recognised at the transaction price (including transaction costs) and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the investors share of the profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity of the associate. The Consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes the Group's share of the operating results, interest, pre-tax results and attributable taxation of such undertakings applying accounting policies consistent with those of the Group. In the Consolidated statement of financial position, the interests in associated undertakings are shown as the Group's share of the identifiable net assets, including any unamortised premium paid on acquisition.
Any premium on acquisition is dealt with in accordance with the goodwill policy.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Statement of financial position when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly
Page 20
INDIGO FOOD GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Basic financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Group transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Group will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The critical judgements made by management that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.
Critical judgements
Lease commitments
Leases entered into by the company either as a lessor or a lessee are operating or lease or finance leases. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee on a lease by lease basis.
Depreciation rates
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. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.
Sources of estimation uncertainty
Impairment of fixed assets
Management determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit.
Stock Provision
Stock is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Management determines whether there are conditions that exist at the balance sheet date that indicates that the net realisable value of individual stock lines are less than the carrying value. Such indicators include post year-end sales, sales order pipeline, and market forces.
Trade Debtor Provision
Management recognise a provision against potential bad debts. Factors to be considered include the
ageing profile and known concerns over recoverability of debts.
