Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025


The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Review of business
The company's principal activity is the supply of fresh potatoes to retailers, wholesalers, processors and food service providers.

The season started off with a continuation of high prices, increasing turnover significantly.

Our understanding, of the marketplace through the knowledge of key staff along with procuring quality product at a realistic price has enabled Tulipland Potatoes Limited to offer fixed prices and supply with confidence, for one, three and indeed six months, as the market is dictating. We continue to develop and maintain strong relationships with customers and suppliers who we have dealt with for many years.

Principal risks and uncertainties
The company's risk management process seeks to facilitate the early identification, evaluation and management of any significant operational risks facing the business to ensure adequate internal controls are in place to mitigate these risks. The key risks are reviewed annually by senior management.

Tulipland Potatoes Limited has a strong cash flow position which has allowed it to procure potatoes, giving farmers and other suppliers confidence that they will be paid. Debtors are monitored, monies chased regularly and payment patterns analysed.

Overheads continued to be closely monitored, especially as utility bills, insurance and wages all continue to increase.

Competition
The business operates in a highly competitive market. This could result in us not meeting all our customers' expectations. In order to mitigate this risk our senior managers and factory staff work closely with customers to ensure all deliveries are made to their expectations and timescales, and that quality and price requirements are met.

Expenditure
The company has had a number of years of capital expenditure predominantly to automate and keep packing costs to a manageable rate. Although, with factory floorspace now fully utilised it is virtually impossible to continue this trend and the company has recently concentrated on repairs, renewals and servicing as its priority in order to maintain its long-term operational capacity.

Crop traceability
The work involved in traceability etc continues to increase, as customers place more and more emphasis on full traceability of their products. This increased workload, involving significant technical data analysis, continues to be actively monitored by the company's dedicated members of staff and overviewed on a regular basis by the company's senior management to ensure the company is being as pro-active as possible in this area.

The company continues to retain is AA grade BRCGS Food Safety accreditation.

The impact of the company’s operations on the community and the environment
We operate within the agriculture sector so fully understand that it is important for the long-term future of our business that we protect and enhance our environment.

Our packhouse draws a large portion of its energy requirements from the solar panels on the roof. We are currently adding to these panels. The rest of the electricity the company uses comes from a company which specialises in the supply of green electricity.

As a family business we have always believed in engaging heavily with the local community and our charitable donations are a testament to this.

Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Employees and staff welfare
One of the greatest assets of the business continues to be its staff and the continuity of key colleagues, the company recognises this contribution in terms of staff welfare, training and benefits. Long serving members of staff remain the backbone of the company.

Looking forward we believe Tulipland Potatoes Limited is in a strong position to trade in any price structured market and its customer base is varied as is its supply base.

All aspects of the company look positive.

On behalf of the board:

Miss J M Stanberry
Miss M Stanberry

Statement of directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' report 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), 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 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 company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that she ought to have taken as a director in order to make herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

On behalf of the board:





Miss J M Stanberry - Director


5 September 2025

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Tulipland Potatoes Limited


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Tulipland Potatoes Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, Statement of financial position, Statement of changes in equity, Statement of cash flows and Notes to the 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, except for the possible effects of matters described in the Basis for qualified opinion paragraph, the financial statements:

- give a true and fair view, seen as at the date the original financial statements were approved, of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its profit for the period then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice seen as at the date the original financial statements were approved;
and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion
The company's financial statements were not required to be audited for the year end 31March 2024 and as such we did not attend the stock count and audit stock at 31 March 2024 and thus did not observe the counting of physical inventories at the end of that year. On our appointment as auditor for the year ended 31 March 2025 we were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning only the existence and condition of stock of £251,509 held at 31 March 2024. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount at 31 March 2024 was necessary or whether there was any consequential effect on the cost of sales for the year ended 31 March 2025.

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 Auditor's 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 qualified 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 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Tulipland Potatoes Limited


Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic report and the Directors' report, 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.

As described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, we were unable to satisfy ourselves by
alternative means concerning only the existence and condition of the stock of £251,509
held at 31 March 2024. We have concluded that where the other information refers to the stock and work in
progress at that date or related balances such as cost of sales, it may be materially misstated for the same
reason.

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 Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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 Directors' report.

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 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Tulipland Potatoes 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 our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

- the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector;

- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including such as the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;

- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and

- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and

- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;

- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;

- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and

- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions;

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;

- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;

- reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Tulipland Potatoes Limited


There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025


1. Statutory information

Tulipland Potatoes 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 (£).


2. Statement of compliance

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.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, net of discounts and Value Added Tax.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods); the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.

Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% on a straight line basis
Plant and machinery - 20% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Investment property
Investment property is shown at the most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is reflected in non distribuatble reserves.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

3. Accounting policies - continued

Financial instruments
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 entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities.

Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.

Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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.

Defined contribution plans
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for some employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. The annual contributions payable are charged as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided.

Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

3. Accounting policies - continued

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense.

Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period it arises.

Investments
Investments are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently revalued and are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation, as determined by reference to an active market.
