The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the period 4 February 2024 to 1 February 2025.

BUSINESS REVIEW

FreshLinc Group

Turnover reduced by 3% during the year, this reduction relating to a downturn in volumes from our existing customer base, but additional revenues through our Ambient consolidation centre and our frozen operations have helped minimise the impact of the volume reduction.

The underlying profitability of the business during the year was not only affected by the reduction in revenues, but also several other unforeseen circumstances.

Key factors driving business performance during the year were: -

-The initial volume ramp up within our start-up frozen transport operation was slower than initially indicated.

- Our recently acquired freehold facility at Stephenson Avenue, offering packing and cold storage solutions, dealt with less volume throughput than anticipated, with committed volumes not honoured due to supply chain changes.

- The Specialist building sector operations were both affected by a considerable drop in demand.

- Our FloraLinc division saw a dramatic reduction in sales following a buoyant post-covid period, as customer spending on their gardens diminished; however, our North Sea import sector saw an increase in revenues through our Customs and Plant Passporting services.

Keepstem Group

The principal activities of the group continue to comprise the production, harvesting, packing, and marketing of a broad range of arable crops cultivated across our extensive land holdings in South Lincolnshire. Complementary operations include the procurement and marketing of imported fresh vegetables, together with the provision of agricultural contracting and contract vegetable packing services to our long-established customer base.

During the financial period under review, total turnover increased by 6.8% to £73,230,283. Cost pressures persisted throughout 2024, particularly in relation to labour and arable land rental costs, which rose at a greater rate than selling prices. Consequently, the operating profit margin declined to 0.03%, compared with 0.48% in the preceding period.

Bank base rates remained at levels not experienced for over sixteen years, resulting in a year-on-year increase in interest payable of £333,043, to £1,070,710. The combined effect of reduced operating margins and higher finance costs led to a loss before taxation of £1,019,390 for the year.

The adverse impact of the loss before taxation on balance sheet net assets was substantially offset by a corporation tax refund and a revaluation gain arising from the increased underlying value of the group’s freehold arable land.

The group is pleased to report that all key customers were retained during the period. Their continued support reflects confidence in the group’s ability to deliver consistently high-quality produce, in the required volumes, and within agreed timeframes.

The directors remain mindful of the group’s significant presence within the local area, both in terms of the acreage farmed and the scale of vehicle operations required to support its activities. The group continues to take active measures to minimise any adverse impact of its operations on the community and the environment.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

FreshLinc Group

Whilst future headwinds including the increased national Living Wage and Employers NI contributions lie ahead, our focus remains to correct commercial rate structures, whilst seeing out contractual periods, along with developing and reassessing the divisional business units, ensuring each one is positively contributing.

We will continue to exploit the opportunities that exist, especially within our Ambient and Frozen transport operations and we will continue to invest in our driver training program with delegated examiner status, to recruit, train and retain tomorrow’s drivers.

Our track record of sustained investment in the scale of operations, geographic and network coverage, together with the high service levels we and our customers demand, will continue to differentiate us from our peers and enable us to further enhance our service scope and offerings.

Dedicated, experienced and committed employees remain our key asset in delivering our future success.

Keepstem Group

As a labour-intensive enterprise, the group has experienced further upward pressure on operating costs during 2025, following the increases in the National Living Wage and employers’ National Insurance contributions implemented in April 2025. Additionally, the business has faced considerable climatic challenges, with the first nine months of 2025 being the driest on record.

Notwithstanding these challenges, the directors remain confident in the group’s long-term prospects, supported by a loyal and established customer base, access to some of the finest grade-one agricultural land in the country, and the dedication of a skilled workforce operating modern and efficient equipment.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

FreshLinc Group

The principal financial risk facing the group would be the loss of its customer base. However, the group has performed very well by winning new business through its focus on cost control and high service levels and given the growth and diversification of the recent past, our reliance on any one key contract has been reduced significantly.

The group is also subject to environmental and health and safety risks and mitigates these by a focus on training, equipment maintenance, fleet replacement programme and stringent internal audit controls.

Keepstem Group

Our primary risk is in relation to the impact that the weather can have on crop yields and costs of production. We have however operated subject to these risks for over 27 years but with experienced managers, the best possible equipment and a supporting network of growers have always been able to maximise our output of high quality product in order to meet the exacting standards of our customers.

The group is also subject to environmental and health and safety risks and mitigates these by a focus on training, equipment maintenance, fleet replacement programme and stringent internal audit controls.

ENVIRONMENTAL RISK

On the growing side of the group primary risk is in relation to the impact that the weather can have on crop yields and costs of production. We have however operated subject to these risks for 38 years but with experienced managers, the best possible equipment and a supporting network of growers have always been able to maximise our output of high quality product in order to meet the exacting standards of our customers.

MARKET RISK

Market risk encompasses three types of risk, being currency risk, fair value interest rate and price risk. The group's policies for managing fair value interest rate risk are considered along with those for managing cash flow interest rate risk and are set out in the subsection entitled "interest rate risk" below.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The group seeks to manage liquidity risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably.

Short-term flexibility is achieved by an asset backed bank lending facility.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The group finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits, bank borrowings and hire purchase agreements. The group's exposure to interest rate fluctuations or its borrowings is mitigated by the use of fixed interest hire purchase agreements.

CREDIT RISK

The group's principal financial assets are cash and trade debtors.

In order to manage credit risk, the directors set limits for customers based on a combination of payment history and third party credit references. Credit limits are reviewed on a regular basis in conjunction with debt ageing and collection history.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT

Stakeholder Engagement

As the Board of Fidelis Holdings Limited, we have a legal responsibility under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 to act in the way we consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the company's success for the benefit of its members as a whole, and to have regard to the long-term effect of our decisions on the company and its stakeholders. This statement addresses the ways in which we as a Board manage this responsibility.

Promoting the company's success for its members

Fidelis Holdings Limited was incorporated in March 2020 as the corporate entity to be used by the three founding shareholders of the separate groups, Keepstem Limited and FreshLinc Group Limited, being Robin Hancox, Aubrey Day and Martin Tate to bring together the groups under a single holding company. The company and its group continues to be owned and controlled by these three, with Robin Hancox continuing to be the majority shareholder. We're proud of the ways in which the separate groups, over the last 27 years, have continued to achieve consistent long-term growth and has provided employment, training and financial reward for an increasing number of colleagues.

We aim to be the best-in-class haulier and supplier of fresh produce within all the marketplaces in which we trade and have demonstrated a strong history of customer service. In a competitive market we strive to continue to grow our business through further opportunities with our current customers and through new business based on our reputation for quality of service and product, accessibility to colleagues at all levels within our business, and personal relationships developed over time with our customer base.

We acknowledge that, in order to progress to the next phase in the company's future, it is likely that we will need to enhance our asset base. Our twin aims are to maximize the company's ability to grow profits and market share whilst returning the highest possible value to the shareholders.

We make strategic decisions based on long-term objectives. In particular, this has meant significant investment in our haulage fleet, farm and packing equipment and our IT infrastructure. Investment will continue over the coming years to ensure we continue to offer top quality produce at a competitive price.

Engaging with stakeholders

Our key stakeholders, and the ways in which we engage with them, are as follows:

Our employees

FreshLinc Group

Our distribution operations rely heavily on a skilled team including warehouse operatives, HGV drivers’ operations staff and management on a twenty-four hour, 7 day a week basis, as well as a focused central team of business development, finance, HR and IT professionals. We are renowned for our customer service, which requires us to adapt to last-minute changes and challenges faced in operating over 300 vehicles and 800 trailers, delivering to multiple locations on a daily basis, to tight delivery schedules and ever-increasing demands for the order process to be just in time. We cannot achieve this without our team.

Recruitment and retention of staff is therefore a critical business activity. We help to engage with team members by:

- setting remuneration at market-leading rates,

- providing training and career development support,

Keepstem Group

We are renowned for our customer service, which requires us to adapt to the ever-changing impact of our variable climate on product availability. We cannot achieve this without our team.

Recruitment and retention of staff is therefore a critical business activity. We help to engage with team members by:

- setting remuneration at market-leading rates,

- providing training and career development support.

Our customers and suppliers

FreshLinc Group

We invest heavily in our fleet replacement programme ensuring we have the most fuel efficient and environmentally beneficial vehicles, together with a robust driver training and compliance system, to ensure we can continue to offer customers the best quality distribution service for their products to marketplace. We meet with key customers at least every quarter to review new opportunities.

Our business model prioritises quality and delivery. We believe we are competitive in our chosen marketplaces, but feel it is our consistently high service levels that differentiate us from our peers. Our customers value the high degree of interaction and expertise, from the tender process through to renewal of contracts.

We have built and will maintain a reputation for transparency and fair dealing in our interaction with customers and suppliers.

We have built and will maintain a reputation for transparency and fair dealing in our interaction with customers and suppliers.

Our community

We are a private group with the original three shareholders, all of whom continue to work within the group businesses, with our roots in farming the fertile soils around Spalding, and we continue to be a significant employer in the local community. We provide distribution services to several local charities at Christmas time and at various other religious festivals on an annual basis.

Our planet

FreshLinc Group

Our industry contributes to environmental pollution and we are working hard to minimise the impact of our operations. We operate exclusively Euro VI vehicles within our fleet and our focus on driver behaviour enables us to ensure our impact on the environment is minimised.

Keepstem Group

Our industry contributes to environmental pollution and we are working hard to minimise the impact of our operations. We operate the most modern low emissions equipment and our focus on driver behaviour also enables us to ensure our impact on the environment is minimised.

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

1. There was a gross profit of £34,125,951 in the period which was a positive 16.3% margin, compared to a positive 16.1% margin in the previous period.

2. Operating profit of £483,693 (2024 - £2,674,029).

OTHER KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The group measures its non-financial performance in several areas as follows:

1. The securing of new business is a critical area if the business is to continue to grow. The value of contracts won during the year is therefore closely monitored by directors.

2. The service delivery to key customers is measured and reported on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, in conjunction with those key customers in areas such as delivery on time, service availability and quality scores.

3. A number of operating KPI's relating to vehicle operation are monitored within the business to ensure operational efficiency is maximised, especially through all seasonal peaks.

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;

-	state whether applicable 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 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.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Duncan & Toplis Audit Limited, Statutory Auditor, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

A E Day - Director

31 October 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Fidelis Holdings Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the period ended 1 February 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other 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 1 February 2025 and of the group's loss for the period 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.

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.

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 eight, 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.

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:

We have identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial experience, knowledge of the sector, a review of regulatory and legal correspondence and through discussions with directors and other management obtained as part of the work required by auditing standards. We have also discussed with the directors and other management the policies and procedures relating to compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated laws and regulations throughout the team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.

The potential impact of different laws and regulations varies considerably. Firstly, the company is subject to laws and regulations that directly impact the financial statements (for example financial reporting legislation) and we have assessed the extent of compliance with such laws and regulations as part of our financial statements audit. This included the identification and testing of unusual material journal entries and challenging management on key areas of uncertainty being the estimates, assumptions and judgements made in the preparation of the financial statements. These key areas of uncertainty are disclosed in the accounting policies.

Secondly, the company is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequence for non-compliance could have a material effect on the amounts or disclosures in the financial statements. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: Health and Safety regulations, Employment law and Environmental regulations. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and inspection. Through these procedures, if we became aware of any non-compliance, we considered the impact on the procedures performed on the related financial statements items.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. The further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. As with any audit, there is a greater risk of non-detection of irregularities as these may involve collusion, intentional omissions or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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.

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.
