GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 28 DECEMBER 2025

Introduction
 
The directors present their strategic report for the 52 week period ending 28 December 2025.

Business review
 
Farmer J is a premium fast-casual restaurant group operating in the UK, with a focus on providing freshly prepared, seasonal and balanced meals. The business is centred around our signature "Fieldtrays," designed to offer high-quality food served quickly, at an accessible price point.

Our strategy is built on three core pillars:
• Growth of our restaurant portfolio in high-footfall urban locations.
• Commitment to fresh, responsibly sourced ingredients, working with trusted suppliers across the UK.
• Focus on customer experience, blending convenience with quality and consistency.

The Group continues to strengthen its presence in London and surrounding areas, targeting locations that benefit from high density of office workers, commuters and local residents.

Business Model
Farmer J generates revenue through direct sales in restaurants and delivery channels. Our business model is underpinned by:
• A centralised kitchen and supply chain, ensuring quality control and efficiency.
• Strong brand positioning in the premium fast-casual sector, appealing to health-conscious consumers.
• Multi-channel sales including eat-in, takeaway and delivery partnerships.

Review of the Year
The Group has delivered another year of strong growth, with revenue increasing circa 50% compared with the prior year, reflecting both new restaurant openings and continued like-for-like sales growth.
Highlights included:
• Opening of four new restaurants, bringing the total estate to seventeen sites by the period end.
• Continued investment in digital ordering platforms, enhancing customer convenience.
• Strong demand across delivery channels, which now account for circa 25% of sales.

The Group continued to invest in its people, systems, and infrastructure to support future expansion. During the year, the business strengthened its central support functions and progressed its international growth strategy, culminating in the opening of its first restaurant in New York shortly after the year end. 

The business has also taken steps to manage inflationary pressures, particularly food and energy costs, through supplier negotiations, menu optimisation and operational efficiencies.

During the year we had a significant funding round supported by existing and new investors, which ensures we are sufficiently capitalised to deliver our ambitious growth plans.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 28 DECEMBER 2025

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The Group faces risks and uncertainties which could affect future performance, including:

• Consumer demand risk: discretionary spending is sensitive to macroeconomic conditions and cost-of-living pressures.
• Supply chain and inflation risk: fluctuations in food, labour and energy costs may impact margins.
• Operational risk: ensuring consistent quality and service standards across a growing estate.
• Regulatory risk: compliance with food safety, employment and environmental legislation.

Mitigating actions include diversified sourcing arrangements, continuous menu engineering, rigorous training programmes and strong financial controls.

Financial key performance indicators
 
The directors monitor sales and profitability of the Company which are shown on the face of the consolidated statement of income and retained earnings. The directors also monitor non-financial items. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) monitored by the Board include:

• Like-for-like sales growth
• Restaurant contribution margin
• Customer satisfaction scores
• Employee retention and engagement levels

The Directors receive regular updates on progress against key performance indicators. 

Directors’ statement of compliance with duty to promote the success of the Company
 
The Directors of Farmer J Limited are mindful of their duty under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 to act in the way they consider, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard to:

- the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
- the interests of the Company’s employees;
- the need to foster business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;
- the impact of the Company’s operations on the community and the environment;
- the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
- the need to act fairly between members of the Company.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 28 DECEMBER 2025

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the period ended 28 December 2025.

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;

∙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 the 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.

Principal activity

The principal activity of the company continued to be that of catering activities.

Results and dividends

2025 was a strong year for the business, as we saw sales grow by circa 50% and opened four new restaurants in the year with our first site in the US opening in New York just after year-end. 

After accounting for pre-opening costs, exceptional costs, depreciation, amortisation and interest costs, the loss for the period, after taxation, amounted to £1,460,921 (2024 - loss £682,082).

Political contributions

Future Developments

We opened our first site in New York, USA in January 2026 and we have opened a further three sites in 2026 in London which opened in January, June and August. We expect to open a further site in London before the end of the year as well as start building another site in London which will open early next year.

The business continues to develop the site pipeline and expects to roll out at least a further 5 sites in the UK in 2027 as well as an additional two sites in the US. After the success of our first site in New York, we will be looking at expanding our US platform. 

Engagement with employees

The Group recognises that the dedication and engagement of its employees are critical to its success. Regular communication, training, and development programmes are in place to support staff across all restaurants and head office functions. The Group continues to invest in leadership development and wellbeing initiatives.


Engagement with suppliers, customers and others

The Directors value strong relationships with suppliers and customers, and recognise their importance to the long-term success of the business. The Group maintains regular engagement with key stakeholders, ensuring open communication and alignment with its sustainability and quality commitments.

Going Concern

The Directors have reviewed forecasts and projections, taking account of current trading performance and the principal risks and uncertainties facing the business. Based on this review, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.

We have audited the financial statements of Farmer J Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the period ended 28 December 2025, which comprise the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Company balance sheet, the Consolidated statement of cash flows, the Consolidated statement of changes in equity, the Company statement of changes in equity 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 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 28 December 2025 and of the Group's loss 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 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 or 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.

Other information


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.


Opinion 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 period 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 the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the 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.

Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 3, 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FARMER J LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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 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 Group 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:


We obtained an understanding of the key laws and regulations that are applicable to the company. We
determined that the most significant laws and regulations in the context of the financial statements included but were not limited to the Companies Act 2006, United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and
relevant tax legislation.

We also assessed which areas of the financial statements are more susceptible to misstatement. We
considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud, and identified the
greatest potential for fraud in revenue recognition, particularly in respect of any manual adjustments made to
revenue outside of the day to day recording of transaction and also the potential for off balance sheet items to be considered on balance sheet. We are also mandated to perform specific procedures under ISAs (UK) to respond to the risk of management override.

The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud and irregularities rests with those charged
with governance of the company and management. We are not responsible for preventing irregularities. Our
approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including
fraud and non-compliance 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 discussion with directors and
 other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience;
• 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 regarding any instances of known or suspected fraud or non-
 compliance with laws and regulations, as well as any actual or potential litigation and claims;
• Gaining an understanding of the design and implementation of the processes and controls in place 
 within the company which are designed to prevent, detect or correct fraud or error within the financial 
 statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FARMER J LIMITED (CONTINUED)



To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

• Reviewed correspondence with legal and regulatory bodies where applicable;
• Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
• Reviewed the detail of certain nominal accounts for indications of management override;;
• Identified and tested journal entries which we considered to be unusual and may be indicative of bias on
 the part of management or those charged with governance, investigating the rationale behind significant
 or unusual transactions;
• Reviewed the minutes of meetings of management and those charged with governance;

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures
which included, but were not limited to:
• We agreed the financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including 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.


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 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 28 DECEMBER 2025

1.


General information

Farmer J Limited is a limited company by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom  under  the Companies Act. The registered office address is 3rd Floor, The Coade, 98 Vauxhall Walk, SE11 5EL.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

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.

Parent Company disclosure exemptions

In preparing the separate financial statements of the parent Company, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available in FRS 102:
∙No Statement of cash flows has been presented for the parent Company;

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The Parent Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
∙the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
∙the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d).


 
2.3

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 Balance sheet, the acquiree's 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.

Going concern

The Group recorded a loss of £1,460,921 (2024: £682,082 loss) for the period ended 28 December 2025 and had net assets of £17,115,623 (2024: £6,418,186) at the balance sheet date.

The Group continues to meet its day to day working requirements from loans leveraged by the  company and to associated business interests. The Group is therefore dependent upon repayment of those loans to continue as a going concern.

The directors are satisfied that they can continue to finance the operations of the business in this manner and enable the company to achieve profitability. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis.

 
2.5

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

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.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

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.

2.6

Revenue

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 food and beverages 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.

 
2.7

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.

 
2.8

Leased assets: the Group as lessee

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

 
2.9

Research and development

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 3 to 6 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.

2.10

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.11

Finance costs

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.

 
2.12

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

 
2.13

Pensions

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 accruals as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

 
2.14

Share-based payments

Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each balance sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.

The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Group keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme).

Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, profit or loss is charged with fair value of goods and services received.

2.15

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the period 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 balance sheet 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 balance sheet 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;
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
∙Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

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 balance sheet date.


 
2.16

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Group but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

 
2.17

Intangible assets

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.

 
2.18

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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.18
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the following methods.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Short-term leasehold property
-
Over 10-15 years
Plant and machinery
-
25%
Reducing balance
Motor vehicles
-
33%
Straight line
Fixtures and fittings
-
25%
Reducing balance
Office equipment
-
25%
Reducing balance
Computer equipment
-
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.

 
2.19

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.20

Stocks

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 first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each balance sheet 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.

 
2.21

Debtors

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.

 
2.22

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.

2.23

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.

 
2.24

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.

 
2.25

Financial instruments

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 Balance sheet 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.

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.

Financial instruments (continued)


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.

 
2.26

Hedge accounting

The Group uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to fair value risk on its foreign exchange. These derivatives are measured at fair value at each balance sheet date.

To the extent the cash flow hedge is effective, movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in a separate cash flow hedge reserve. Any ineffective portions of those movements are recognised in profit or loss for the period.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts reported of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period.

However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements include estimation useful life of fixed assets, and accruals and prepayments in relation to rent and rates.

16,649 E shares of £0.01 each were issued at a premium of £729.75 per share

The rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to each class of share, as set out in the Articles of Association, are summarised below.

The Ordinary shares, D shares and E shares each carry one vote per share and rank pari passu in respect of dividends, participating pro rata to their holdings. The B shares, C shares and G shares carry no voting rights and, taken together as a single class, are entitled to a dividend of £1.00 in aggregate only.

On a return of capital, the surplus assets are applied in the order of priority set out in the Articles of Association: the C shares are entitled to £1.00 in aggregate (or, above a specified threshold, to 6% of the surplus in priority to all other classes); the E shares and then the D shares are entitled to the return of their respective issue prices; the Ordinary shares and B shares then participate, with the B shares and G shares participating only above specified hurdle values; and the balance is distributed among the Ordinary, B, D, E and G shares pro rata.

The D shares and E shares are convertible into Ordinary shares. None of the shares are redeemable.

Share-based payments

Farmer J Limited operates an equity-settled share based remuneration scheme for employees and directors.

The share options have the following performance conditions:
- each option granted is based upon the individual performance of the employee and length of service;
- the vesting period for share options granted is typically 5 years.

1,744 share options had fully vested as at the balance sheet date. A pro-rata calculation of the options with respect to their vesting dates were made for the period in question to determine the charge  for  the  year. The total number of share options in the pool as at 28 December 2025 was 4,313.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to value the share-based payment awards as it was
considered  that  this  approach  would  result  in  materially  accurate  estimate  of  the  fair  value options granted. The  total  expense recognised in the profit or  loss for the year in respect of  share based payments is £93,365 (2024: £190,610). The  total  share based payment reserve is £283,975 (2024: £190,610).

Contingent liabilities

A contingent  liability  with  regards  to  the  lease  dilapidation  provisions have  been considered  in detail, however  a  reliable  estimate  has  not  been  arrived  at  nor  adjusted  in  the  accounts.  Due to  the nature of the lease works the Directors do not expect these to represent significant costs to the company. 


29.


Pension commitments

The Group contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company to the fund and amounted to £134,221 (2024: £95,701). Contributions totaling £24,671 (2024: £2,671) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date and are included in creditors.
