GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2026

INTRODUCTION
 
The Directors present their Strategic Report for the year ended 30 April 2026. The Company acts as a holding company for its subsidiary companies: Frampton Holdings Limited and Framptons Limited (together "the Group"). 

BUSINESS REVIEW
 
FY26 represented a year of delivery and stabilisation following the restructuring implemented after the acquisition by Profura in late 2023. The Group focused on returning to sustainable profitability, improving operational performance and strengthening its commercial position in contract manufacturing with a specialism in plant-based drinks.

Two major efficiency programmes initiated in the prior year – Project Genesis and Project Njord – delivered their intended outcomes in FY26, resulting in a lower and more stable cost base and supporting an improved earnings profile. These actions enabled the Group to operate with a leaner organisational structure while maintaining quality, service, and food safety standards during a period of increasing operational intensity.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

FY26 marked a turning point for the Group as it returned to underlying profitability following several years of losses. Management achieved a significant turnaround by working honestly and diligently with multiple stakeholders that genuinely care about Framptons. 

The Group has worked on the strength and quality of the balance sheet during the year. We have restructured loans to long term, raised additional financing, and controlled working capital despite growth.

COMMERCIAL & OPERATIONAL PROGRESS

During FY26 the Group focused on a smaller number of strategic customers, increasing volumes with key partners and supporting them in launching fantastic new products. 

The business continued to position itself as a British manufacturing partner for plant-based drinks, highlighting the environmental, cost, and supply-chain benefits of UK-based production compared with imported alternatives. The Group maintained high food safety and quality standards throughout FY26, underpinning long-term customer relationships and supporting future growth opportunities.

Investment of £2.3m was made in plant & machinery during the year, contributing to improved throughput and reliability. We have also placed an order for a third Tetra Edge A3 line that will be installed and commissioned by the end of calendar 2026 to enable a further 40 million units of operational headroom.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2026

FUTURE OUTLOOK

With the operational restructuring largely complete and the cost base reset, the Directors believe the Group enters FY27 on a considerably stronger footing than at the start of FY26. The Board remains mindful of ongoing economic risks both in the UK and in particular the impact of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which is expected to result in sustained volatility in energy markets and higher energy, fuel and logistics costs. We strongly believe the business has positioned itself as a reliable and trusted partner for its stakeholders.

Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda remains central to strategy and operations. Most plant-based drinks consumed in the UK are imported from overseas, which diminishes the environmental credentials of the category due to the carbon impact of inbound logistics. The Group offers customers a British manufacturing alternative, close to market and supported by a local supply chain that is underpinned by British farming. 

ESG considerations are embedded in decision-making across the business and are viewed by the Directors as integral to the Group’s long-term commercial success. We have recently submitted near and long-term carbon reduction targets to the SBTi for validation and have committed to improving the environmental impact of our supply chain.  

The Group’s strategic focus is to strengthen its position as the UK’s largest independent supplier of plant-based drinks, delivering value through operational excellence, disciplined investment and deep customer partnerships. With the continued support of Profura, the commitment of its employees and the strength of its customer relationships, the Directors believe the Group is well positioned to deliver sustainable value over the long term.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group remain consistent with those disclosed in the prior year and are typical of the food and drink manufacturing sector. These include health and safety risk; food safety and quality; customer demand and concentration; raw material pricing and availability; energy and utilities costs; liquidity and funding risk; and recruitment and retention of key personnel.
 
The Board continues to maintain an appropriate control environment, supported by regular risk review and an insurance programme aligned to the size and nature of the business.

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
 
The Directors have determined that the following KPI’s are the most effective measure of progress towards achieving the objectives of the business.

Sales growth %:   2026: 4.6%  2025: (29.6)%
Gross profit %:   2026: 26.5%  2025: 23.8%
Operating profit %:   2026: 5.0%  2025: (2.3%)
Profit/(Loss) before tax:  2026: £1.1m  2025: £(1.6)m

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2026

DIRECTORS' STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH DUTY TO PROMOTE THE SUCCESS OF THE GROUP
 
The Board of Directors of the Group consider, both individually and together, that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole and having regard (amongst other matters) to factors (a) to (f) S172 Companies Act 2006, in the decisions taken during the year ended 30 April 2026. Specifically, the Board ensure in all decisions taken that:

Business is conducted morally and ethically, in line with the Group’s Code of Conduct.
Short-term gains do not have an adverse consequence on the Group’s long-term strategy, success and benefits.
Employee welfare, training and interests are taken care of.
Customer and supplier relationships are strong, mutually beneficial and comply with Group’s policies (such as anti-bribery and corruption, antislavery and human trafficking and corporate social responsibility).
Any community and environmental impacts as a result of the Group’s operations are considered.

During the financial year, the Group:
Continued to invest in its infrastructure throughout the last financial year in order to improve health & safety, operational performance and customer experience for the longer term.
Informally consulted with its employees to ensure its workspaces and working practices were compliant and safe.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FRAMPTONS GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
OPINION


We have audited the financial statements of Framptons Group Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 30 April 2026, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 30 April 2026 and of the Group's 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 Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.


OTHER INFORMATION


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur 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. 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 course of 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.

OPINION ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Group 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 Group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 6, 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 Group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FRAMPTONS GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)

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 an Auditors' 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 Group 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:

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we have considered the following:
The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
Results of our enquires of management and directors in relation to their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities within the Company; and
Any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to: identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations.

As a result of these procedures, we have considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the highest areas of risk to be in relation to revenue recognition, with a particular risk in relation to occurrence through unusual account combinations. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK) we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

We have also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures within the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and UK tax legislation. In addition we considered provision of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with may be fundamental for the Company’s ability to operate or avoid a material penalty. These included health and safety regulations, employment legislation and data protection laws.

Our audit procedures performed to respond to the risks identified included, but were not limited to:
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess the recognition of revenue;
Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in their significant accounting estimates;
Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
Reviewing board minutes; and
Identifying and testing journal entries, evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.


Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
Page 9


FRAMPTONS GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FRAMPTONS GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)

reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.


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 Auditors' Report.


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 2006Our 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 Auditors' 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 30 APRIL 2026

1.


GENERAL INFORMATION

Framptons Group Holdings Limited is a limited liability company which is incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 76 Charlton Road, Shepton Mallet, Somerset, BA4 5PD.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
2.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).

The company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Statement of Financial Position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

 
2.3

GOING CONCERN

The Directors assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company, and the Group it heads, to continue as a going concern. The Directors make this assessment in respect of a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. 
During the year ended 30 April 2026 the Group headed by Framptons Group Holdings Limited made a profit of £746,920 and as at 30 April 2026 had net current liabilities of £450,818 and net liabilities of £165,680.
 
The Group is reliant on support from an intermediate holding company of its ultimate owner, Profuragruppen AB, to enable it to continue as a going concern. The Group has received a letter of support from Provator AB and the Directors have concluded that this support, and the resources available to Provator AB, provide sufficient support to enable the company to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. 

The Directors believe that, taken as a whole, the factors described above enable the Group and the Company to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2026

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.4

TURNOVER

Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised:

Sale of goods

Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the Group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

 
2.5

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the group's share of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis to the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income over its useful economic life.

OTHER INTANGIBLES

Other intangibles are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life, If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed 10 years.

The estimated useful lives range as follows:

            Goodwill                                      -          10    years
            Other intangibles                        -          10    years

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2026

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.6

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.

At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

The Group adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Group. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

The estimated useful lives range as follows:

Freehold property
-
50
years
Long-term leasehold property
-
50
years
Plant and machinery
-
10
- 15  years
Motor vehicles
-
5
years
Office equipment
-
3
years

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.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.



 
2.7

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.8

STOCKS

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 
2.9

DEBTORS

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2026

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.10

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.

 
2.11

CREDITORS

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.

 
2.12

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Functional and presentation currency

The company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

 
2.13

FINANCE COSTS

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.14

OPERATING LEASES: THE GROUP AS LESSEE

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2026

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.15

LEASED ASSETS: THE GROUP AS LESSEE

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

 
2.16

PENSIONS

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN

The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

 
2.17

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.18

BORROWING COSTS

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

 
2.19

PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.

Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
 
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

2.20

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss 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 and the Group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits;
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

2.21

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Statement of Financial Position when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Impairment of financial assets

At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. 

Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.

If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

Basic financial liabilities

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 Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


2.21
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)


Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Group transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Group will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

to the year end stock listing. As a result, management have deemed it reasonable to recognise a provision
against the stock value held at the year end.

Overhead Absorption
Management have reviewed the processes involved in manufacturing the finished goods stock and have made their best estimate in attributing overhead costs such as electricity, gas and staff time.

Dilapidations
Management have considered the cost of returning the leasehold property back to its original condition on expiry of the leases. The value recognised in the accounts is managements best estimate based upon available information.

Goodwill
Management have considered the future economic benefit of the assets the goodwill balance is arising on and have determined it to be reasonable to recognise a goodwill balance. Management's best estimate is that this should be amortised over a useful economic life of 10 years.

A Ordinary shares have full rights in the company with respect to voting, dividends and distributions. 

As at 23 May 2018 the C Ordinary shares were converted C Preference shares. These shares are entitled to a fixed cumulative dividend of £0.005 per share per year, carry no voting rights and shares may only be transferred with the agreement of all ordinary shareholders. The directors have considered the requirements under FRS102 concerning the classification of such instruments as debt or equity and do not believe any debt element to be material. The C preference shares therefore continue to be classed as equity.

RESERVES

Share premium account

The share premium account includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium.

Other reserves

Other reserves comprise capital contributions received from the company's parent undertaking. These contributions represent amounts received from the parent in its capacity as shareholder are not repayable.
