GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
The directors present their Strategic Report with the audited financial statements of Adanola Holdings Limited ("the Company") for the year ended 31 March 2026.
The Group financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the principles of merger accounting.
Adanola Holdings Limited set up a wholly owned newly incorporated US subsidiary on 29 April 2025, which commenced to trade in December 2025. Therefore, the prior year information is not directly comparable because it reflects the results of the Parent Company and existing subsidiary Adanola Limited only.
Business review and principal activities
|
The principal activity of the Company is that of a holding company. The principal activity of the Group during the year under review was trading as a Direct to Consumer (“D2C”) brand selling quality activewear and everyday wardrobe essentials through e-commerce channels and selected wholesale partners.
The business has, in the opinion of the directors, had an excellent trading period for the year ended 31 March 2026 noting that the trading conditions remain highly uncertain because of the current weakness in economic fundamentals including high and persistent inflation as well as some international conflicts. The directors however remain satisfied with the progress against the Group’s key strategic objectives in the current year.
Financial key performance indicators
|
The delivery of the Group’s strategic objectives is monitored by the directors through Key Performance Indicators and the periodic review of various aspects of the Group’s operations. The directors consider the following Key Performance Indicators as appropriate measures for the delivery of its corporate strategy.
Revenue for the year increased to £102.6m, up 21% on the prior 12 months. Gross profit margin increased to £69.0m, with a decrease in percentage terms to 67.3% versus 31 March 2025 of 68.2% (£57.6m).

Average number of employees

|
|
The Group delivered further growth in the year, with total orders up 8% and units sold up 12%, building on the exceptional growth rates achieved in the prior year. The average number of employees rose from 95 to 125 as the Group continued to invest in the team to support this growth.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Principal risks and uncertainties
|
The business operational and financial performance is subject to several principal risks and uncertainties, which are set out below. Where risks can be identified, they have been addressed and actions taken where possible to control them.
Currency risk
The Group sells products to consumers around the globe in a number of different currencies, but mostly in Sterling, US Dollars and Euro. The Group’s growth trajectory gives rise to a foreign exchange exposure, given that the presentational currency is Pound Sterling. Fluctuations and devaluation of the main currency can pose a challenge to the business and consequently impact in profitability. The business reduces the risk by either bulk converting surplus cash in Pounds Sterling or entering forward contract currency deals.
Credit risk
The Group operates primarily a Direct to Consumer model where customers pay at the time of purchasing the goods. This mitigates the risk of bad debts. Financial risk does arise from credit extended to the Wholesale partners. This is mitigated by using a strict credit control procedure, imposed appropriate credit limits and a credit insurance policy.
Liquidity risk
The risk around liquidity is managed through a strong banking relationship and the availability of financing such as trade or asset financing if required. The directors have prepared projections including cashflows for the year ending and beyond, and the group monitors cashflow as part of its day-to-day control procedures. The group has considerable cash headroom and, as a consequence, the directors believe the group is well placed to manage business risks successfully.
Legal risk
The group is committed to meeting or exceeding the requirements of all applicable regulations. Resources have been dedicated to ensuring compliance with GDPR regulations. Additionally, new or proposed legislation impacting all facets of the business is routinely assessed.
Technology risk
The group remains committed to significant investment in technology across its website, inventory management, warehouse management, customer experience, and overall IT infrastructure, in response to the rapid advancement of technology.
Supply chain risk
The group imports a substantial proportion of its products, thereby exposing itself to the risks associated with international trade, including inflation, evolving regulatory frameworks, and currency fluctuations. Additionally, we face risks related to the quality of globally produced products and the safety and ethical standards of the environments in which these products are manufactured. The group mitigates these risks through regular factory visits and audits conducted by third-party organisations.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Directors' statement of compliance with duty to promote the success of the Group
|
According to Section 172(1) of the Companies Act 2006, the director of Adanola Holdings Limited confirm that they are confident that their decisions have been taken in good faith and in a way they believe best promotes the Group’s long-term success for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole. In carrying out their duties, the directors have taken into account the factors listed in Section 172(1) (a) to (f), as described below:
a)Long-term decision-making: the board has focused on sustainable growth through investment in technology, logistics infrastructure and customer experience. Strategic decisions such as expanding our product categories and enhancing our web platform were made with long-term value creation in mind.
b)Employee interests: Our team is central to our success. We continue to invest in training, wellbeing initiatives and career development. We also encourage teams to make use of our hybrid working policy, and we have introduced enhanced internal communications to ensure employees remain engaged and informed.
c)Customer and supplier relationships: We maintained strong relationships with our suppliers through fair trading terms and collaborative planning. Customer satisfaction remained a key priority, with ongoing improvements to our website, delivery options and customer support channels.
d)Community and environmental impact: The group is conscious of the necessity of reducing its environmental footprint. During the year, we maintained the adoption across our products of biodegradable packaging, improved energy efficiency and supported charities through donations.
e)Business conduct and reputation: Our group is built on integrity and openness. We regularly review compliance policies across data protection, fraud prevention and ethical sourcing, ensuring they remain robust. Alongside this, we actively listen to customers’ feedback and monitor social media to maintain and strengthen our reputation.
f)Fairness between members: The board ensures that all shareholders are treated fairly. Decisions regarding dividends, reinvestment and capital structure are made with transparency and consideration for all members.
The board received regular updates on stakeholders’ engagement, which inform strategic and operational decisions. The directors believe that these actions support the long-term success of the group and reflect their statutory duties under Section 172.
This report was approved by the board on 3 August 2026 and signed on its behalf.

ADANOLA HOLDINGS LIMITED
DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026.
Directors' responsibilities statement
|
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the consolidated 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 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 for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain Group and Parent Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group and to 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.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £11,530,866 (2025 - £16,530,724).
Dividends of £37,822 were paid during the year (2025 - £Nil).
The directors who served during the year were:

The Directors acknowledge that the business operates within a highly competitive market and that broader macroeconomic factors may continue to influence consumer behaviour. While competitive pressures and challenges within the trading environment are expected to persist, the Directors believe that the Group's continued investment in operational efficiency, technology and brand development positions it well for future growth. Key areas of focus include enhancing the digital customer experience, pursuing opportunities in selected markets and expanding the product offering to meet evolving customer preferences.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and energy efficiency action
|
As a responsible and forward-looking business, we are playing our part in supporting the future of mobility while contributing to the transition to net zero. This report sets out our energy use and greenhouse gas emissions for the financial year ending 31 March 2026, covering our office location, company vehicles, employee commuting and travel.
Internal carbon usage is low as the group operates from one single premises. Heating is controlled by management who adjust settings on a day-by-day basis to suit the climate.
During the year, emissions via travel in employee-owned vehicles was 282 kWh (2025: 759 kWh) and emissions via purchased electricity was 38,247 kWh (2025: 28,880 kWh).
Emissions via travel in company-owned vehicles was 0 kWh (2025: 0 kWh).
Intensity ratio tonnes of CO2e per number of employees was 1.00 (2025: 0.08).
The SECR submission has been compiled using the 2025-6 Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines.
Emissions have been grouped according to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.
Matters covered in the Group Strategic Report
|
Certain information is not shown in the Directors' Report because it is shown in the Strategic Report on page 1-3 of the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Section 414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006. The Strategic Report includes a business review, future prospects, principal risks and uncertainties and information on the Group's key performance indicators.
Going concern
The directors are required to evaluate the Group's ability to operate as a going concern for a minimum of 12 months from the date the Group’s financial statements are signed. This assessment takes into account the Group's principal risks and uncertainties as described in the strategic report and relies on various primary factors, such as the Group’s future financial performance and the ability to generate cash to support the working capital needs.
As of 31 March 2026, the Group reported net current assets of £45.25m (compared to £9.31m net current liabilities in 2025) and held cash and cash equivalents totalling £41.55m (up from £25.49m in 2025). The Group does not currently benefit from any bank facility to sustain its working capital requirements.
For the financial year ending 31 March 2026, the Group revenue is approximately 21% higher than the comparable period in the prior year. The Group forecasts to maintain a very similar growth trajectory into the next 12 months, where the revenue growth and working capital requirements will be supported by the Group’s ability to maintain its profitability. Despite that, the directors have taken into consideration the possibility that future sales would fall short of the forecast, or, more drastically not grow at all. It is the director’s understanding, that in any of these scenarios, manageable mitigations can be deployed, such as adjusting inventory purchases to limit excess inventory accumulation and reviewing other expenses to ensure the Group maintains profitability and positive cash flow to sustain the Group continuity.

ADANOLA HOLDINGS LIMITED
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
As part of the overall evaluation, the directors have also assessed the potential impact of critical inventory and non-inventory suppliers on the Group’s going concern. Key suppliers of goods and services were identified, though no indications have emerged suggesting any of these suppliers are at risk of ceasing operations. Additionally, no supplier has requested improved payment terms that would impact the Group’s working capital requirements. In the coming financial year, the Group plans to continue to diversify its supplier base, continue to review and renegotiate adherence to the Group’s standard payment terms and introduce new suppliers across different regions to support the sourcing strategy rollout and reduce both shipment times and duty rates.
Following their assessment, the directors are confident that the Group has sufficient resources to fund its operations for the foreseeable future, covering at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are signed. Consequently, they have determined that it remains appropriate to prepare the Group's financial statements on a going-concern basis.
Disclosure of information to auditor
|
Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' Report is approved has confirmed that:
∙so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company and the Group's auditor is unaware; and
∙the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company and the Group's auditor is aware of that information.
Post balance sheet events
|
There have been no further material adjusting or disclosable events since the financial year end.
The auditor, Forvis Mazars LLP, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the board on 3 August 2026 and signed on its behalf.

ADANOLA HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ADANOLA HOLDINGS LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Adanola Holdings Limited (the ‘Parent Company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 March 2026 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Financial Positions, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 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 Group's and of the Parent Company’s affairs as at 31 March 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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and Parent 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 Group's and 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 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.

ADANOLA HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ADANOLA HOLDINGS LIMITED
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.
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 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 light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and 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.

ADANOLA HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ADANOLA HOLDINGS LIMITED
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, 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 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 intend either to liquidate the Group's and Parent 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.
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 line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
Based on our understanding of the Group and Parent Company and its industry, we considered that non-compliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements: employment regulation, health and safety regulation, anti-money laundering regulation.
To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to:
∙Inquiring of management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, as to whether the Group and Parent Company is in compliance with laws and regulations, and discussing their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory authorities;
∙Communicating identified laws and regulations to the engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
∙Considering the risk of acts by the group and parent company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as tax legislation, pension legislation, the Companies Act 2006.

ADANOLA HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ADANOLA HOLDINGS LIMITED
In addition, we evaluated the directors' and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of override of controls, and determined that the principal risks were related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, revenue recognition (which we pinpointed to the cut-off assertion), and significant one-off or unusual transactions.
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
∙Making enquiries of the directors and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
∙Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
∙Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
∙Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.
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 auditor’s report.
Use of the audit 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 an auditor's 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 31 MARCH 2026
Adanola Holdings Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 15800966. The registered office and principal place of business is Dantzic Building, Dantzic Street, Manchester, United Kingdom, M4 2AH.
The principal activity of the Group is the retail sale of clothing in specialised stores.
The prior year information for the Parent Company only is for the 9 month period ended 31 March 2025 and is therefore not directly comparable to the current year information for the full 12 months to 31 March 2026.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
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 judgment 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:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiary ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The Group financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the principles of merger accounting. Under the merger accounting method, the results and cash flows of all the combining entities are brought into the financial statements from the beginning of the financial year in which the combination occurred. Assets and liabilities are merged at book value.
A difference was present between the nominal value of shares issued and the nominal value of shares received in the exchange, therefore this has created a merger reserve.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The directors are required to evaluate the Group's ability to operate as a going concern for a minimum of 12 months from the date the Group’s financial statements are signed. This assessment takes into account the Group's principal risks and uncertainties as described in the strategic report and relies on various primary factors, such as the Group’s future financial performance and the ability to generate cash to support the working capital needs.
As of 31 March 2026, the Group reported net current assets of £45.25m (compared to £9.31m net current liabilities in 2025) and held cash and cash equivalents totalling £41.55m (up from £25.49m in 2025).
For the financial year ending 31 March 2026, the Group revenue is approximately 21% higher than the comparable period in the prior year. The Group forecasts to maintain a very similar growth trajectory into the next 12 months, where the revenue growth and working capital requirements will be supported by the Group’s ability to maintain its profitability. Despite that, the directors have taken into consideration the possibility that future sales would fall short of the forecast, or, more drastically not grow at all. It is the director’s understanding, that in any of these scenarios, manageable mitigations can be deployed, such as adjusting inventory purchases to limit excess inventory accumulation and reviewing other expenses to ensure the Group maintains profitability and positive cash flow to sustain the Group continuity.
As part of the overall evaluation, the directors have also assessed the potential impact of critical inventory and non-inventory suppliers on the Group’s going concern. Key suppliers of goods and services were identified, though no indications have emerged suggesting any of these suppliers are at risk of ceasing operations. Additionally, no supplier has requested improved payment terms that would impact the Group’s working capital requirements. In the coming financial year, the Group plans to further diversify its supplier base, keep on reviewing and renegotiating the adherence to the Group standard payment terms and introduce new suppliers across different regions to support the sourcing strategy rollout and reduce both shipment times and duty rates.
Following their assessment, the directors are confident that the Group has sufficient resources to fund its operations for the foreseeable future, covering at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are signed. Consequently, they have determined that it remains appropriate to prepare the Group's financial statements on a going-concern basis.

Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP, rounded to the nearest £.
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.
On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into Sterling at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rate ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at opening rate and the results of overseas operations at actual rate are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue 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 revenue is recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue 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 revenue 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.
|
|
|
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 31 MARCH 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. The capitalised development costs are subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful economic lives, which range from 5 to 10 years.
If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
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.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
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 other creditors as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

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; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
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.
Intangible assets 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 ten years.
Amortisation is provided on the following bases:
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.

|
|
|
|
|
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.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
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 weighted average 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 profit or loss.
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.
|
|
|
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.
In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
|
|
|
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.
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.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.

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.
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 instruments
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.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In applying the Group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. The directors' judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when decisions are made, and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgments, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ.
The critical judgments that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the statutory financial statements are discussed below.
(i) Assessing indicators of impairment
In assessing whether there have been any indicators of impairment of assets, the Directors have considered both external and internal sources of information such as market conditions, counterparty credit ratings and experience of recoverability and where applicable, the ability of the asset to be operated as planned. There have been no indicators of impairment identified during the current financial year.
The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods. Below are the key sources of estimation uncertainty listed by management.
(i) Stock provisions
Stock held at the Statement of Financial Position date is assessed for impairment by the directors and is carried at the lower of cost or net realisable value. All stock which is considered out of season, succeeded by an updated product or considered to have quality concerns is written down to the lower of cost or net realisable value. Stock items with a cover of more than 12 months are reviewed for impairment and written down accordingly. The year-end stock provision totalled £1,425k (2025: £208k).
(ii) Refunds provision
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the Group sells a product to the customer. Payment of the transaction is due immediately when the customer purchases the goods, and it is the Group's policy to sell its products to the end customer with a right of return within 30 days. Therefore, a refund liability (including in creditors due within one year) is recognised for expected refunds in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. The anticipated returns are recognised as an inventory asset, with a corresponding adjustment to cost of sales. Accumulated experience is used to estimate such returns at the time of sale at a portfolio level (expected value method), and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The validity of this assumption and the estimated amount of returns are reassessed at each reporting date and where possible against post period end actual returns. As at year end the refunds provision totalled £619k (2025: £1,000k).
(iii) Determining useful economic lives of intangible assets
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 ten years.

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.
Share-based payment reserve
Share-based payment reserves represent the fair value of share options which have not yet vested.
Merger Reserve
A difference was present between the nominal value of shares issued and the nominal value of shares received in the exchange, therefore this has created a merger reserve.

In the previous period, on 6 January 2025, the Company granted options over 103 C ordinary shares to employees of Adanola Limited.
The fair value of the options granted was £23,452 per option, determined at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model, taking into account the exercise price, expected life of four years, and relevant assumptions regarding volatility and risk-free interest rates.

The prior year comparative relating to the number of shares has been restated from 31 to 103 shares to correct an error identified in the current year. The impact of this adjustment is not material to the prior year financial statements and, as such, no restatement has been made.
Instead, the cumulative adjustment required to reflect the correct position has been recognised within the current year share-based payment charge. As a result, the total share-based payment expense recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year was £712,889 (2025: £41,972). As at 31 March 2026, the carrying amount of the Share based payment reserve was £754,861 (2025: £41,972).
|
The Group operates a defined contributions pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Group to the fund and amounted to £140,206 (2025: £74,375). As at the reporting date, amounts of £28,721 (2025: £19,098) were payable to the plan.
