| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Period 1 December 2024 to 31 May 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the period 1 December 2024 to 31 May 2025. |
| Review of business |
| Revenue has increased on a like for like basis for the 6-month period to 31 May 2025; this has largely been driven by better product price negotiation and increased tonnage. |
| Much of the increase has been in our carrots production, where we have seen prices increase and improved tonnage. |
| This has resulted in the business becoming profitable with better cost recoveries. |
| The packhouses owned by Tompsett Holdings Ltd continue to be let to the same tenants on the same terms. |
| Principal risks and uncertainties |
| The fresh produce market in the UK is dominated by a small number of large supermarkets who have a large influence over the quantity and pricing of sales. The group manages this risk by providing top quality produce, continuing innovation in product lines and maintaining good relationships with its customers. |
| The biggest risk for us, which we cannot control, is the weather and as of today the lack of rain and temperature. Many of our land suppliers have invested in winter storage reservoirs, but with the continued dry and hot spell are now short of water. We do spread our risk by growing late crops further north where we would hope the weather would be more favourable. The company supplies produce all year round and ensures it has sufficient irrigation capacity for a dry summer. |
| Investment in new harvesting machinery enables it to continue harvesting in wet weather and both continuous monitoring of crops in the ground, and high standards of crop management reduce the risk of crop disease. The group grows crops in East Anglia and Scotland. |
| Water availability remains a key factor within the business to ensure high quality yielding crops. The business is now facing further challenges with the loss of key chemicals to control weeds, pests & disease. The group does not have any bank financing. The group uses HP financing to finance the purchase of equipment. |
| The group's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk and liquidity risk. The group does not currently use derivative financial instruments. |
| Credit risk |
| The group's principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables. |
| The group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. |
| The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. |
| Liquidity risk |
| In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the group uses a mixture of long-term and short-term debt finance which includes finance leases and hire purchase creditors. |

| Directors' Report |
| for the Period 1 December 2024 to 31 May 2025 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the period 1 December 2024 to 31 May 2025. |
| Dividends |
| No dividends will be distributed for the period ended 31 May 2025. |
| The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for the period (2024: £40,000). |
| Future developments |
| Competition between retailers remains a constant pressure on our business with regards to pricing of products. |
| Directors |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 December 2024 to the date of this report. |
| Statement of directors' responsibilities |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group strategic report, the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| Tompsett Holdings Limited (Registered number: 04501316) |
| Directors' Report |
| for the Period 1 December 2024 to 31 May 2025 |
| Statement as to disclosure of information to auditors |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that she ought to have taken as a director in order to make herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| On behalf of the board: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Tompsett Holdings Limited |
| Qualified opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Tompsett Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the period ended 31 May 2025 which comprise the Consolidated income statement, Consolidated other comprehensive income, Consolidated statement of financial position, Company statement of financial position, Consolidated statement of changes in equity, Company statement of changes in equity, Consolidated statement of cash flows and Notes to the consolidated statement of cash flows, Notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and parent company's affairs as at 31 May 2025 and of the group's profit for the period 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 qualified opinion |
| We were not appointed as auditor of the group until after 31 May 2025 and thus did not observe the counting of physical inventories at the end of the period. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at 31 May 2025, which are included in the balance sheet at £3,283,262, by using other audit procedures. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount was necessary. |
| We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Tompsett Holdings Limited |
| 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 contained within the annual report. |
| 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. |
| Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. |
| As described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, we were unable to satisfy ourselves concerning the inventory quantities of £3,283,262 held at 31 May 2025. We have concluded that where the other information refers to the inventory balance or related balances such as cost of sales, it may be materially misstated for the same reason. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| Except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, 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 and for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, 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. |
| Arising solely from the limitation on the scope of our work relating to inventory, referred to above: |
| - | we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and |
| - | we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept. |
| 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: |
| - | returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of directors' responsibilities set out on page four, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
| In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Tompsett Holdings Limited |
| Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| Irregularities, including fraud are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in lines with our responsibilities, outlines 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. |
| Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliances with laws and regulations, was as follows: |
| - | the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| - | we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the client company's sector. |
| - | we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company. |
| - | we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and |
| - | identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
| We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: |
| - | making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; |
| - | considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
| - | performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
| - | tested journals entries to identify unusual transactions; |
| - | investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
| In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
| - | agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
| - | enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; |
| - | reviewing correspondence with HMRC and the company's legal advisors. |
| There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Tompsett Holdings Limited |
| Material misstatement that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the auditors. |
| Use of our report |
| This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

| Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
| for the Period 1 December 2024 to 31 May 2025 |
| 1. | Statutory information |
| Tompsett Holdings Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | Statement of compliance |
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. |
| 3. | Accounting policies |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| 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 acquirers 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. |
| Related party exemption |
| The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
| Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| In the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies, management has not made any judgements that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
| Management has also assessed that there are no key sources of estimation uncertainty that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. |
| Revenue |
| Revenue is the amount derived from the provision of goods and services falling within the group's ordinary activities after deduction of trade discounts and value added tax. All sales are made within the UK and from the group's principal activity of selling carrots, parsnips and other vegetables. Revenue from sale of produce is recognised upon despatch of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred. Sales are reported net of processing and marketing costs incurred by the packers who purchase the crop. |
| Rental income is recognised on an accruals basis. |

| 3. | Accounting policies - continued |
| 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. |
| Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residential value over their estimated useful lives on a reducing balance basis. |
| Depreciation is provided on the following basis: |
| Freehold property | 15% - 25% reducing balance or 4% per annum |
| Plant and machinery | 15% - 25% reducing balance |
| Motor vehicles | 15% - 25% reducing balance |
| Fixtures and fittings | 15% - 25% reducing balance |
| 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. |
| Investment property |
| Investment property is carried at a fair value determined annually by the directors who take appropriate professional advice where necessary. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Work in progress relates to growing crops and cost includes raw materials, direct labour and production overheads appropriate to the relevant stage of production. Stock is valued on an average cost basis and net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less all further costs to completion including further growing costs, marketing, selling and distribution costs. |
| 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 profit or loss. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |

| Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued |

| 3. | Accounting policies - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Share capital |
| Ordinary shares are classed as equity. Preference shares which are mandatorily redeemable given 8 weeks written notice from the company or holder of these shares, are classified as liabilities. |
| 4. | Turnover |
| The turnover and profit before taxation are attributable to the principal activities of the group. |
