LOTUS FOODS TRADING COMPANY UK LIMITED Notes to the Accounts Registrar |  |

for the year ended 31 December 2025 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

1 | General information |  |
| LOTUS FOODS TRADING COMPANY UK LIMITED is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales.
| Its registered number is: 11530533 |  |  |  |  |  |
| Its registered office is: |  | Its trading address is: |  |  |  |
| 56 Kingswood Road |  | 72 Burners Lane |  |  |  |
| Watford |  | Kiln Farm |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |  | Milton Keynes |  |  |  |
| WD25 0EF |  | MK11 3HD |  |  |  |
| The accounts have been prepared in accordance and comply with FRS 102 and Section 1A - The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

2 | Accounting policies |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

| Revenue recognition |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods supplied to customers during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts. Revenue is recognised when the company satisfies its performance obligation to supply goods, which occurs at a point in time on delivery to, or collection by, the customer, being when control, physical possession, legal title, and the risks and rewards of ownership pass. The company acts as principal in all sales, bearing inventory and credit risk and retaining discretion over selling prices, and turnover is therefore stated gross on normal trade credit terms with no significant financing component.

| Intangible fixed assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Intangible fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

| Tangible fixed assets and depreciation |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Tangible fixed assets held for the company's own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss.
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost or valuation less the estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life:
|  | Plant and machinery |  | 10% reducing balance |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | Furniture, fittings and equipment |  | 10% reducing balance |  |  |  |  |  |

| Leased assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| The company leases two warehouse premises under operating lease arrangements, with rent payable monthly. As substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor, these leases are classified as operating leases in accordance with FRS 102 Section 20, and no asset or liability is recognised in the balance sheet in respect of them. Rentals payable are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. A rent deposit of £13,830 held by the landlords is included within other debtors

| Research and development costs |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year it is incurred unless it meets the criteria to allow it to be capitalised. Costs of research are always written off in the year in which they are incurred. Where development costs are recognised as an asset, they are amortised over the period expected to benefit from them. Amortisation of the capitalised costs begins once the developed product comes into use, typically at rate of 33.33% straight line.

| Taxation |  |  |  |  |  |
| Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the profit and loss account because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

| Freehold investment property |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Investment properties are revalued annually and any surplus or deficit is dealt with through the profit and loss account. No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties.

| Investments |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Unlisted investments (except those held as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures) are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, any changes in fair value are recognised in profit and loss.

| Stocks |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Costs, which comprise direct production costs, are based on the method most appropriate to the type of inventory class, but usually on a first-in-first-out basis. Overheads are charged to profit or loss as incurred. Net realisable value is based on the estimated selling price less any estimated completion or selling costs. When stocks are sold, the carrying amount of those stocks is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of stocks to net realisable value and all losses of stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of stocks is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs. Work in progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording revenue and related costs as contract activity progresses.

| Trade and other debtors |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

| Trade and other 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.

| Foreign currencies |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| The functional and presentational currency of the company is Sterling. The accounts are rounded to the nearest pound.
| Transactions in currencies, other than the functional currency of the Company, are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date the transaction occurred. Monetary items denominated in other currencies are translated at the rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. all differences are taken to the profit and loss account. Non-monetary items that are measured at historic cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

| Employee benefits |  |  |  |  |  |
| Defined contribution pensions |  |  |  |  |  |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme (NEST) for the benefit of its employees, in accordance with its auto-enrolment obligations. Contributions payable are recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the period to which they relate. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. Any contributions unpaid at the balance sheet date are included within creditors

| Provisions |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are charged as an expense to the profit and loss account in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the balance sheet.

11 | Share Capital |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 250 Ordinary shares of £1 each, amounting to £250 (2024: 250 Ordinary shares of £1 each, £250).

12 | Reserves |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 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.
|  | Profit and loss account - includes all current and prior period retained profits and losses.

13 | Prior period adjustment |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| The comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2024 have been restated as set out below. Consideration paid on the company's 2022 purchase of its own shares, financed by a fresh issue of shares, was incorrectly debited to the share premium account rather than to distributable reserves. £149,900 has been transferred from the profit and loss account reserve to the share premium account. The share premium account at 1 January 2024 has been restated from £36,185 to £186,085 and the profit and loss account reserve from £252,438 to £102,538. This is a reclassification within equity and has no effect on total equity or on the profit for either year. Deferred tax on accelerated capital allowances was under-provided in prior periods. The tax written down value of the company's plant and machinery pool was nil at both 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024, all additions having been relieved in full by the annual investment allowance, so the whole of the net book value of the tangible fixed assets represented a taxable timing difference. The provision required at 1 January 2024 was £13,399, being 25% of the net book value of £53,596, against £2,472 provided. The provision at 1 January 2024 has therefore been increased by £10,927, with a corresponding reduction in the profit and loss account reserve, and a deferred tax credit of £696 has been recognised for the year ended 31 December 2024. The combined effect of the two adjustments is that total equity at 1 January 2024 has been restated from £288,873 to £277,946, net assets at 31 December 2024 from £365,956 to £355,725, and the profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 from £77,083 to £77,779.

14 | Related party disclosures |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | Transactions with related parties |  |  |  |
|  | The company's parent undertaking is Bajrang International FZC, incorporated in the United Arab Emirates, which holds 60% of the issued share capital. Purchases from the parent in the ordinary course of business and on normal commercial terms totalled £2,349,810 (2024: £2,244,350), and £560,533 (2024: £627,346) was due to the parent within trade creditors at the year end.

15 | Financial commitments |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| At 31 December 2025 the company had total future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases of £133,207 (2024: £229,676), falling due as follows:
