STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors present their strategic report in respect of the financial statements for the period ended 3 January 2026.
The company's principal activity continues to be that of meat processing.
The Company’s financial performance in 2025 saw a reduction in revenue of 24% versus 2024. This reduction was primarily attributable to the planned operational realignment; whereby cooked product volumes have been transferred to a sister company facility to support centralisation and growth of cooked meat production capacity.
The operational realignment was executed in early Q2 2026, with results from Q2 to Q4 reflecting the business operating exclusively within raw product following the cessation of cooked production at the site. The Company reported an operating profit of £0.9m for the year, an increase of approximately £0.4m compared to 2024. The increase in profitability was underpinned by sustained gross margin strength alongside effective management of overhead costs. The Directors view this as a particularly strong outcome given the impact of the planned operational realignment.
The Directors take considerable effort to assess the critical risks and uncertainties that face the business and are continually seeking ways of mitigating those risks.
Assessing and managing risk is a fundamental part of the day-to-day business management of the Company. Our principal risks and uncertainties are summarised below under the headings of Commercial, Financial and Operational, together with a brief summary of how we manage those risks. Commercial Risk Commodity Availability / Price : The Company is exposed to issues associated with raw material availability, particularly pork. An increase in price, or a lack of availability, could adversely impact the Company’s operations and ability to supply key customers. The Company has long-standing relationships with its pork suppliers, which helps to mitigate the risks associated with pork price volatility and availability of supply. In the current environment, where generally only short-term pricing is available from suppliers, we have adopted a ‘buy-sell’ matching process with customers, by which we are constantly reviewing selling prices with customers in line with commodity price movements.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Financial Risk
Cashflow / Liquidity Risk : The Company requires continued access to funding for current requirements and future growth. The Company is a member of a Group which maintains adequate medium-term committed facilities, ensuring that the Group has sufficient funds available for operations and planned expansion. Credit Risk : The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business. This risk is managed through credit control policies and the placing of Credit Insurance with a leading, independent insurer. Operational Risk Product Contamination Risk : The Company is subject to the risks of product and / or raw material contamination and potential health-related industry-wide food scares. Such incidents could lead to product recall costs, reputational damage and regulatory penalties. The Company is subject to stringent food safety audits including Red Tractor, BRC, FSA and RSPCA. Health and Safety : A significant breach of Health and Safety legislation could lead to reputational damage, and regulatory penalties, including restrictions on operations, damages or fines. The Company has Health and Safety processes and procedures in place, and conforms to all standards and regulations, as well as pursuing industry best practice across its sites.
The company regard Revenue, Gross Profit and Operating Profit as the key performance indicators. These are measured monthly and anomalies investigated immediately. A summary of the movements of these KPI's are detailed in the business review.
The company has a comprehensive environmental and health and safety policy, including a dedicated personnel department. The policies are subject to independent audit and separate from the audit of the financial statements.
This report was approved by the board on 23 April 2026 and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company 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 hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £1,081,555 (2024 - £543,787).
No dividends (2024:£Nil) were paid during the year. The directors do not recommend the payment of a final dividend.
The directors who served during the year were:
We believe that Bearfields of London Limited is well placed in the market and the strength and sustainability of the Company’s position is underpinned by its in-depth knowledge of the pork market and its industry leading reputation.
The Company will continue to consolidate its position in the market by continuing to focus on operational and production and overhead efficiencies across all its manufacturing sites.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BEARFIELDS OF LONDON LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Bearfields of London Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Statement of income and retained earnings, the Balance sheet and the related notes, 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 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BEARFIELDS OF LONDON LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual 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 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.
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 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.
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.

BEARFIELDS OF LONDON LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BEARFIELDS OF LONDON LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities we considered the following:
∙Obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector, including the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates in and how the Company is complying with the legal and regulatory frameworks;
∙Enquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud;
∙Discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud.
All relevant laws and regulations identified at a Company level and areas susceptible to fraud that could have a material effect on the financial statements were communicated. Any instances of non compliance with laws and regulations identified were considered in our audit approach. The most significant laws and regulations were determined as follows:
∙UK GAAP FRS 102 and Companies Act;
∙Tax compliance regulations; and
∙Food and hygiene standards including BRC, Red Tactor, BMPA, RSCPA and HSE.
Additional audit procedures performed by the audit engagement team included:
∙Review of the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation;
∙Completion of disclosure checklists to identify areas of non-compliance;
∙Inspection of audit report reports and certification received from external foods standards advisors.
The areas that we identified as being susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud were:
∙Revenue recognition in relation to fraud;
∙Management override;
∙Compliance with food and hygiene standards.

BEARFIELDS OF LONDON LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BEARFIELDS OF LONDON LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Audit procedures in response to the identified areas above:
∙Obtaining an understanding of the processes and controls around revenue recognition;
∙Substantively testing revenue via various methods including transactional, cut off and sequencing;
∙Evaluation of the appropriateness of the accounting policies;
∙Testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments;
∙Assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias;
∙Evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business; and
∙Inspection of all recent reports and certification from the relevant bodies and general inspection around the factory.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.
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 Auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
The Company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of income and retained earnings during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
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 the Statement of income and retained earnings.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Company 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 Company's Balance sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
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 Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

BEARFIELDS OF LONDON LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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 Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans 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 Company 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 Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Accounting judgements and estimation The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below: i) Exceptional items Management have deemed it necessary to separately disclose certain costs as exceptional on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings as it is relevent to the understanding of the Group's performance. See note 5 for further information.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to processed meat products.
