AIP CATERING LIMITED
DIRECTOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the director considers appropriate for the following reasons:
The Company is part of the Sodexo UK and Ireland group of companies (the “UK&I Group”), which in turn forms part of the wider Sodexo Group, headed by Sodexo S.A., a company incorporated in France. The UK&I Group’s principal activities include the provision of facilities management and catering services across various sectors such as government, healthcare, corporate services, sports and leisure and education. Accordingly, the Company’s cash flows are influenced by the continuity, volume, and pricing of these operations.
The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through operational cash flows and intercompany loan arrangements within the UK&I Group. The UK&I Group has demonstrated resilience in the face of economic challenges. This has been achieved through disciplined cash and balance sheet management, strong contract retention, a diversified client base across both public and private sectors, and robust inflation management processes. Furthermore, the UK&I Group continues to pursue organic growth opportunities, with several new contracts in the pipeline. Nonetheless, it remains vigilant and prepared for potential macroeconomic changes through sound commercial management and prudent cost control.
In determining the appropriateness of the going concern basis, the director has reviewed cash flow and profit forecasts for the UK&I Group covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts incorporate a severe but plausible downside scenario, which assumes a deterioration in gross margin due to operational challenges, a reduction in revenue from non-renewal of key contracts, and under-recovery of inflation. In addition, this scenario does not factor in any mitigating actions that management could implement. Even under these conditions, the forecasts indicate that the UK&I Group would remain resilient.
The Company has net current liabilities of £1,803,675 (2024: £1,805,568) and is dependant on the continued support of the UK&I Group and its ultimate parent company Sodexo S.A. Sodexo S.A., which currently holds a Baa1 credit rating from Moody's Investors Service, has confirmed through a letter of support its intention to continue providing financial resources as the Company may require for a period of atleast 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The director has assessed the ability of Sodexo SA to support the Company.
Based on this assessment, the director is confident that the Company will have sufficient resources to meet its obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Qualifying third-party indemnity provisions
|
Qualifying indemnity insurance was in place for the director during the year which was also in force at the date of this report.
Disclosure of information to auditor
|
The director at the time when this Director's Report is approved has confirmed that:
∙so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditor is unaware; and
∙that director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditor is aware of that information.

DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
The director is responsible for preparing the Director's Report 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 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 director 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 director is required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company'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 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 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 hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AIP CATERING LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of AIP Catering Limited (“the Company”) for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity 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 FRS 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 August 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 “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 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.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AIP CATERING LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Responsibilities of the director
As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, 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 is 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.
Auditor’s 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 an auditor’s 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 the financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
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.
Based on our understanding of the Company and its industry, we considered that non-compliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements: anti-money laundering regulation.
To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to:
∙Inquiring of management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, as to whether the Company is in compliance with laws and regulations, and discussing their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory authorities;
∙Communicating identified laws and regulations to the engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
∙Considering the risk of acts by the Company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as tax legislation and the Companies Act 2006.
In addition, we evaluated the director's and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of controls, and determined that the principal risks related to posting journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to significant one-off or unusual transactions.
|
|
AIP CATERING LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AIP CATERING LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
∙Making enquiries of the director and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
∙Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
∙Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
∙Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.
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 auditor’s report.
Use of the audit 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 auditor’s 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 AUGUST 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the director considers appropriate for the following reasons:
The Company is part of the Sodexo UK and Ireland group of companies (the “UK&I Group”), which in turn forms part of the wider Sodexo Group, headed by Sodexo S.A., a company incorporated in France. The UK&I Group’s principal activities include the provision of facilities management and catering services across various sectors such as government, healthcare, corporate services, sports and leisure and education. Accordingly, the Company’s cash flows are influenced by the continuity, volume, and pricing of these operations.
The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through operational cash flows and intercompany loan arrangements within the UK&I Group. The UK&I Group has demonstrated resilience in the face of economic challenges. This has been achieved through disciplined cash and balance sheet management, strong contract retention, a diversified client base across both public and private sectors, and robust inflation management processes. Furthermore, the UK&I Group continues to pursue organic growth opportunities, with several new contracts in the pipeline. Nonetheless, it remains vigilant and prepared for potential macroeconomic changes through sound commercial management and prudent cost control.
In determining the appropriateness of the going concern basis, the director has reviewed cash flow and profit forecasts for the UK&I Group covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts incorporate a severe but plausible downside scenario, which assumes a deterioration in gross margin due to operational challenges, a reduction in revenue from non-renewal of key contracts, and under-recovery of inflation. In addition, this scenario does not factor in any mitigating actions that management could implement. Even under these conditions, the forecasts indicate that the UK&I Group would remain resilient.
The Company has net current liabilities of £1,803,675 (2024: £1,805,568) and is dependant on the continued support of the UK&I Group and its ultimate parent company Sodexo S.A. Sodexo S.A., which currently holds a Baa1 credit rating from Moody's Investors Service, has confirmed through a letter of support its intention to continue providing financial resources as the Company may require for a period of atleast 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The director has assessed the ability of Sodexo SA to support the Company.
Based on this assessment, the director is confident that the Company will have sufficient resources to meet its obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less any provision for impairment or permanent diminution in value. Incremental costs incurred as part of acquisitions of subsidiaries are capitalised as part of investment costs.

AIP CATERING LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method.
|
|
AIP CATERING LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is an 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.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies.
The estimates and judgements that have the most material impact on the financial performance and position of the Company are as follows:
a)Impairment of investments in subsidiary undertakings
Impairment is made where a permanent diminution in value of the investment in subsidiary undertakings exists. This impairment assessment requires management judgement in calculating the future profitability of the subsidiary undertakings and an impairment is made where circumstances exist that indicate there is a permanent diminution of the investment value. Management carries out an impairment assessment where there are indicators, such as losses or changes in market conditions, that the recoverable value of the investment is below its carrying value.
|
|
Fees payable for the audit of Company's annual accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025 and 31 August 2024 were paid by the Company's subsidiary, Alliance in Partnership Limited.
|
|
|
The Company has no employees other than the director. The director of this Company is also director of other companies within the Sodexo S.A Group and accordingly the cost of their remuneration has been fully incurred by another entity within the Group. None of the total cost of this remuneration has been allocated to this Company on the basis that the director's services to the Company do not occupy a significant amount of their time .
