Strategic report
Year ended 30 June 2025
Business review
The period under review began with renewed optimism for improvement in the UK economy following the change in government. However, these hopes were soon undermined by the measures announced in the Autumn Budget on 30 October 2024. The significant rise in various taxes, including employers' national insurance contributions together with the reduction in business rates relief for small businesses and an increase in the National Minimum Wage, had an immediate adverse impact on the retail and hospitality sectors. These sectors were already experiencing substantial challenges due to continuing Ukraine-Russia war and the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Although the Bank of England reduced the base rate from 5.25% in August 2023 to 5.00% in August 2024, and further to 4.25% in May 2025, the rising cost of living continued to affect consumers across the country, particularly our core customers. However, the directors made a conscious decision not to pass on increased costs of raw materials, energy, and labour to our valued customers, choosing instead to maintain competitive pricing to retain loyal customers and attract those trading down.
One segment of our retail business, linked to a global brand, continued to face challenges from the backlash of ongoing Gaza-Israel conflict in certain demographic areas where we operate. The chances of resolution in the near term remain slim, prompting the directors to adopt a cautious approach. The termination of a temporary outside catering contract reduced overall turnover. This exceptional revenue stream had previously helped sustain cash flow particularly during the pandemic.
Given the circumstances, the company managed its diverse business activities reasonably well during the period. It is geared up to face economic challenges that lie ahead with strong leadership, enhanced management and effective execution. As part of our long-term strategy, the company's parent company, Treats Holdings Limited, undertook a reorganisation between 30 March 2026 and 1 April 2026 which resulted in a demerger of part of the holdings of the parent company. The transactions involved the transfer of assets and loan waiver between group companies. These transactions formed part of a wider group restructuring and occurred after the reporting date. The key objective of the reorganisation was to streamline diverse business activities into independently run units that can grow rapidly without the constraints of a rigid centralised structure.
Management has assessed the impact of these events and concluded that they do not affect the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements for the year ended 30June 2025 have not been adjusted for these transactions.
Key performance indicators
In the light of rapidly changing retail landscape and uncertain geopolitical events, the directors adopted a more flexible approach when setting key performance indicators (KPIs). Actual performance was evaluated against reasonable benchmarks, bearing in mind cost of living crisis and increased competition in marketplace. Team members were recognised for their hard-work and excellent results. The operations team carried out a survey to gauge employee satisfaction and their well-being. The feedback was very positive with one common theme of how positive our work culture was. The directors will continue to engage with the staff at every level to ensure they remain motivated and committed to developing their teams and ensuring their well-being. Key performance indicators achieved during the year-ended 30 June 2025 are summarised below: 2025 2024Combined Turnover £10,254,066 £12,099,221Gross Profit £6,115,704 £7,382,695Gross Profit Margin 59.64% 61.02%(Loss)/Profit Before Taxation £(18,751) £450,834
Principal risk and uncertainties facing the company
Following the tax-heavy Autumn Budget announced on 30 October 2024 and U-turns on pre-election Manifesto, the incumbent government has struggled to contain the fallout from the wrath of pensioners, business community and the public. The loss of confidence in the UK economy amongst investors and ultra-high-net worth individuals has impacted investment in the country. The recent ruling party's loss at local elections has prompted the movement to replace the Prime Minister. Depending upon who (whether left-wing or centre-left) wins the leadership contest and leads the country, the financial market would evaluate economic prospects and direction of travel, i.e. higher taxes or more borrowing to fund spending and give its verdict. Nonetheless, the current political instability does not bode well for the UK.
On 28 February 2026 hostilities in the Middle East escalated, resulting in an increase in global oil prices and energy costs. This event occurred after the reporting period ended 30 June 2025.The company will continue to monitor developments and has identified mitigation measures, including targeted cost control, supplier re-sourcing and the utilisation of committed borrowing facilities. The directors have taken this matter into account in their going concern and viability assessments.
As a responsible business, we take a very cautious approach and mitigate risks by being agile and adapt to changing circumstances. We anticipate a very challenging economic outlook over the next twelve to eighteen months, and hence, started streamlining our operations and identified product lines that are heavily impacted by an increase in raw materials and energy costs. Despite these challenges, the directors remain confident in the company's resilience in riding out local and global crises successfully.
Future developments
Faced with rapidly changing economic and geopolitical outlook, the directors are determined to protect assets and mitigate risks to our business by streamlining our operation. Non-profitable units and product lines are being discontinued to preserve invaluable resources and management time. However, the directors will continue to seek new opportunities particularly in the sectors that they feel are less immune to economic downturn and geopolitical influences.
Looking ahead, the directors believe the use of artificial intelligence is likely to bring enormous benefits in the form of efficiency and labour cost savings. By keeping up with the technology and adapting to new ways of working, the company can remain competitive and survive in the long run.
Viability and going concern
In preparing the financial statements, the directors have considered the company's current position, principal risks and mitigations and have reviewed forecasts. On the basis of this review, and having regard to available cash resources and committed facilities, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

Events after the end of the reporting period
Particulars of events after the reporting period are detailed in note 25 to the financial statements.
Disclosure of information in the strategic report.
The company has chosen in accordance with section 414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 to set out in the company's strategic report information required by schedule 7 of the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
Directors responsibilities statement
The directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, 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). 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 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 judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- 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.

Each of the persons who is a director at the date of approval of this report confirms that:
- so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware; and - they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.
The auditor is deemed to have been re-appointed in accordance with section 487 of the Companies Act 2006.

Treats Foods Limited
Independent auditor's report to the members of
Treats Foods Limited
Year ended 30 June 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Treats Foods Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position, 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 30 June 2025 and of its loss 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 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.
Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 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 has 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 the 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 directors' responsibilities statement, 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 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 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.
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 these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: As part of our planning process:- We enquired of management the systems and controls the company has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are mostly susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. The company did not inform us of any known, suspected or alleged fraud.- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company. We determined that the following were most relevant: FRS 102, Companies Act 2006, Health and Safety, Food standards, Environmental, Employment Laws and UK Tax laws and regulations- We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the company, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.- Using our knowledge of the company, together with the discussions held with the directors of company at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:- Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual. Performed analytical procedures and obtain explanations for major variances.- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied.- Testing key revenue lines for evidence of management bias.- Performing a physical verification of fixed assets and stock.- Obtaining third-party confirmation of bank balances.- Documenting and verifying all significant related party balances and transactions. Obtaining written confirmations for intercompany balances.- Reviewing and challenging the assumptions and judgements used by management in their significant accounting estimates in respect of carrying values of fixed assets, depreciation of fixed assets, amortisation of intangible assets and valuation of stock.- Assessing the extent of compliance, with the relevant laws and regulations.- Reviewing documentation such as the company board minutes, correspondence with solicitors, correspondence with HMRC for indications of irregularities including fraud.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 primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with the directors.A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.This description forms part of our auditor's report. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. we also: - Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. - Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. - Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. - Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern. - Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The Directors have assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, taking into account the current macroeconomic environment, including geopolitical uncertainties, inflationary pressures and volatility in energy and commodity markets. The Directors have considered the potential impact of these factors on the Company's financial position, liquidity and forecast trading performance. In forming their judgement, the Directors have reviewed the Company's cash resources, liquidity headroom and financial forecasts. The assessment has also taken into account the group reorganisation completed on 1 April 2026, as described in note 25, including the demerger of part of the holdings of Treats Holdings Ltd, the transfer of subsidiaries, the distribution in specie of freehold properties and the waiver of an intercompany loan.Based on the forecasts prepared, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Disclosure exemptions
The company satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. Its financial statements are consolidated into the financial statements of Treats Holdings Limited which can be obtained from the Registrar of Companies (England and Wales), Companies House, Cardiff. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS102:(a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company.(b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgments are continually reviewed and are based on the experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.The key areas of judgment are in respect of fair value adjustments of investment properties, depreciation of fixed assets, amortisation of intangible assets, accruals and valuation of stock.Further details of significant estimates and judgements are set out in the relevant accounting policies and notes to the financial statements.
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.
Taxation
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. 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 capital and reserves. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to profit or loss.
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.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on business acquisitions and represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the company's interest in the net amount of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. It is amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life. Where a reliable estimate of the useful life of goodwill or intangible assets cannot be made, the life is presumed not to exceed ten years.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:
Goodwill - over ten years in equal instalments
Domain name - over four years in equal instalments
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Tangible assets
tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in capital and reserves, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Freehold properties - Freehold land - Nil: Freehold Buildings - Over 50 years
Short leasehold properties - Straight line over the life of the lease
Fittings fixtures and equipment - 20 % reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25 % reducing balance
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of tangible assets, the depreciation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Investment properties
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, which include purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Investment properties are revalued to their fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment
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. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned to those units.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.Costs being generally determined on the basis of first-in, first-out method.
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 in finance costs in profit or loss in the period it arises.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss.Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets or either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided.

25. Events after the end of the reporting period
Between 30 March and 1 April 2026, the Group undertook a reorganisation which resulted in a demerger of part of the holdings of the Parent company, Treats Holdings Ltd. As part of this reorganisation:1. Transfer of subsidiary The Parent company's investment in Treats Foods Ltd was transferred to a newly incorporated holding company, Treats Foods Holdings Ltd, whose shareholders mirror those of Treats Holdings Ltd. This transaction formed part of a wider group restructuring and occurred after the reporting date. It is therefore a non adjusting event under FRS 102.2. Loan waiver Treats Holdings Ltd waived a loan payable by the Company at the date of waiver. As the waiver occurred after the reporting date, it is a non adjusting event under FRS 102.3. Distribution in specie of freehold properties The Company distributed all of its freehold properties to a fellow group company by way of a distribution in specie, recorded at their carrying values at the date of the transaction. The carrying amount of the properties at 30 June 2025 was £9,962.661. This transaction took place after the reporting date and is a non adjusting event.Management has assessed the impact of these events and concluded that they do not affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025 have not been adjusted for these transactions.
