| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Portal Foods Ltd is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
| The financial statements contain information about Portal Foods Ltd as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements. |
| 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. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgement, estimates and assumptions about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| In preparing these financial statements the directors have made judgements including: |
| - Unlisted investments. The company holds an equity interest in an unlisted overseas company, acquired to support the continuity of its wider group supply chain. As this investment is neither a subsidiary, associate, nor jointly controlled entity, it is accounted for as a financial asset in accordance with FRS 102 Section 12 - Other Financial Instruments. |
| The investment is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognised through profit or loss. Due to the unlisted nature of the shares and absence of quoted market prices, fair value is determined using an independent third-party valuation platform, Valutico, which applies a market approach using comparative company multiples and industry benchmarks. |
| The determination of fair value requires the exercise of significant management judgement, particularly in selecting appropriate valuation inputs such as revenue or EBITDA multiples, discount rates, and peer comparables. The company considers these inputs to be based on observable market data to the extent possible, but recognises that a degree of estimation uncertainty exists given the lack of direct market evidence for the specific investment. |
| Changes in key assumptions, including growth rates, discount rates, or benchmark multiples, could materially affect the reported fair value of the investment and the associated unrealised gains or losses. As at the reporting date, the investment was valued at £5,812,787 (2024: £6,750,674), with a resulting unrealised loss of £937,887 recognised in profit and loss. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost less any provision for impairment. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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 balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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. |
| Investments |
| Investments are recognised initially at cost. Subsequently they are measured at fair value through profit and loss account. As at the reporting date, the investment has been measured using a third-party valuation platform (Valutico), which applies a market-comparable approach based on relevant financial metrics and observable inputs where available.The directors acknowledge that, due to the unlisted nature of the investment and limitations in observable inputs, the valuation is subject to estimation uncertainty. However, they consider the use of the Valutico platform to provide a reasonable and supportable basis for determining fair value. |
| Financial instruments |
| The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. |
