| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| The director presents his strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| REVIEW OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS AND KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| 9 Cuisines Limited is a specialist manufacturer of fresh and frozen food to the airline and hotel industry in the UK. We source the most authentic ingredients mostly from local suppliers in order to maintain the high quality of our products. Quality, consistency and Customer satisfaction are paramount for us. |
| Our business has been functioning efficiently and profitably for a number of years. We employ well-qualified and experienced managers and staff and motivate them to be their best at all times. We follow very strict procedures in everything we do. Our client base is relatively small and we closely work with them, making sure they are happy with our performance. |
| Reported turnover for 2024/25 was £10,885,853 compared with £15,608,830 for 2023/24, a decrease of £4,722,977. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to a reduction in the number of end-users for our services. We have been presenting our products and services to certain new clients with similar requirements and have recently started negotiations of terms with them. We expect such additional agreements to increase our revenue in year 2025/26. |
| The gross profit margin during 2024/25 was 39% as compared to 31% for 2023/24, an increase of 8%. The company made an operating profit of £224,404 (2023/24: Profit £104,862 ) and profit after interest but before tax was £229,822 (2023/24: Profit £112,683). |
| The total net assets at 31 March 2025 were £243,042 (2023/24: £112,610). Our results in terms of Revenue and Net Profits were reasonable this year. However, we are continuing to make our best endeavours to win additional orders from our existing clients as well as gain new clients in the coming year. |
| All indications are that our revenue in the next financial year will be similar to this year but we are anticipating it to increase in the year 2026/27. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| Food supply contracts are usually signed for a relatively short period of time. 3 or 4 year contracts are common, which are terminable at any time with less than 6 months' notice. The Management works hard to maintain good relationship with the clients. Also, wherever possible, we try to reach out to the ultimate client to ensure consumer satisfaction. |
| Production Plants may break down needing major outlay of cash for repairs and renewals. Our Plant & Machinery are maintained to a high standard by our engineers to avoid such occurrence. |
| Labour costs are key to our business's profitability. It is possible the Government could increase the minimum wages and NI costs further in the coming year. We believe, if the relationship with the client is maintained, such costs could be passed on in the selling prices. |
| There is a no exposure on Finance Costs as the Company does not utilise any credit facilities. Our finances are managed carefully to avoid having to borrow from any bank or lending institutions. We foresee this healthy state to continue in the new year as well. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENT |
| The management is in close communication with other new clients who are in communication with us and are in the process of making the final decision. We anticipate this decision will take place during 2025/26. If the decision goes in our favour, we will be starting delivery from April 2026 and that would increase our revenue substantially. |

| Report of the Director |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| DIRECTOR |
| OTHER MATTERS |
| Other items required under Schedule 7 of Companies Act 2006, to be disclosed in the Director's Report are set out in the Strategic Report |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Williams, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| 9 Cuisines Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of 9 Cuisines Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its 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 company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
| 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 Strategic Report and the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| 9 Cuisines Limited |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| 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 Report of the Director. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| - | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of director |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page three, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
| In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has 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 obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the entity and identified that the principal risk of non-compliance related to tax legislation and breaches of health and safety regulations. |
| We considered the effect on the financial statements, due to any non-compliance. |
| We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated the risks related to the management's manipulation of accounting entries, including journal entries, and accounting estimates, which could directly impact the financial statements. |
| Audit procedures performed included: |
| - | Discussions with management and company's accounting team, including whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. |
| - | Performing procedures to address the risk of management override. |
| - | Audit testing included complete populations of certain transactions and balances, but typically involved audit sampling and a selection of a limited number of items for testing to enable us to draw a conclusion about the population from which the sample was selected. |
| - | Challenging assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimates. |
| - | Identifying and testing journal entries. |
| 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 |
| 9 Cuisines 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. |

| Notes to the Financial Statements |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| 9 Cuisines Limited is a private company, limited by shares, Registered in England and Wales. The Company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the company information page. |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound sterling (£) and rounded to the nearest pound. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| Going concern |
| At the balance sheet date, the company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets. The company has received assurance from the director that he will continue to give financial support to the company for twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. |
| On this basis, the director considers it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. However, should the financial support mentioned above not be forthcoming, the going concern basis used in preparing the company's accounts may be invalid and adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their realisable amount and to provide for any further liabilities which might be necessary should this basis not continue to be appropriate. |
| Turnover |
| The company is a specialist manufacturer of fresh and frozen food products for the airline and hotel industry in the UK. |
| Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. |
| Depreciation is provided on following basis: |
| Improvements to property | - 25% on cost |
| Plant & machinery | - 25% on cost |
| Motor Vehicles | - 25% on cost |
| 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. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less cost to complete and sell. |
| At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling prices less cost to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. |
| Stock relates to Food and Beverages. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the company's Statements of Financial Position when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, being the transaction price plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. Financial assets are derecognised when the company no longer has the rights to cash flows, the risks and rewards of ownership or control of assets. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the 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 |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affect both current and future periods. |
