GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors present their strategic report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Abcor Limited is the holding company for Helios Ingredients Limited, Helios Ingredients Europe Limited and Ridgebeach Limited. The Company does not trade in its own right.
The Group sources and supplies food ingredients, principally coconut products, tree nuts and dried vine fruit, to food and beverage manufacturers in the UK, Europe and export markets. Sourcing is managed close to origin, supported by an office in Sri Lanka that oversees the coconut supply chain. Ridgebeach Limited, acquired during the year for $1.30m, holds freehold property. Group turnover grew 64% to $65.4m (2024 - $39.9m). Growth came from higher volumes across the coconut range and from higher selling prices as coconut raw material costs rose through the year. Gross profit was $8.43m (2024 - $5.15m) and gross margin was unchanged at 12.9%. The directors regard a margin in this range as normal for the Group’s trading model. Operating profit was $4.60m (2024 - $1.39m). Other operating income of $1.87m (2024 - $nil) arose on the initial recognition at fair value of interest-free loans, and the finance charge of $0.35m below operating profit is the unwinding of that discount during the year. Neither is a cash item. Exchange differences were a charge of $0.19m, against a credit of $0.79m in 2024. Before the other operating income and the exchange differences, operating profit rose from $0.59m to $2.92m, which the directors consider the better measure of the year’s trading. A further $0.28m arose on the initial recognition of a shareholder loan and was recognised directly in equity as a capital contribution. Profit after tax was $3.91m (2024 - $1.08m). Stocks rose to $13.4m (2024 - $6.5m) and trade debtors to $9.9m (2024 - $6.6m), reflecting higher volumes and the buffer stock the Group holds at destination to protect continuity of supply. This was funded through supplier credit and interest-free loans. The Group has no bank borrowings. Cash at the year end was $1.93m (2024 - $1.32m) and net assets were $8.30m (2024 - $4.12m).

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Commodity price and supply
Coconut, tree nut and vine fruit prices can move sharply and availability at origin varies with crop and weather. The Group manages this by matching purchases to sales wherever possible, diversifying origins and suppliers, and maintaining a presence at origin. Purchasing and quality teams visit and audit the supply base regularly.
Margin
The Group earns a trading margin on a large turnover, so a small movement in achieved margin has a material effect on profit. Pricing discipline and the speed at which cost increases are recovered in selling prices are monitored closely.
Foreign exchange
The Group reports in US dollars and sells mainly in sterling and euros. Forward exchange contracts are taken against sales transactions. At the year end the Group held 53 contracts with a total value of $18.2m, exercisable during 2026.
Credit
Credit limits are set for each customer, debtor ageing is reviewed weekly, and bad debt experience has been low.
Liquidity and funding
Working capital is funded from trading cash flow, supplier credit and interest-free loans with a carrying value of $6.5m at the year end, of which $4.3m matures on 31 December 2028 and $2.2m on 31 December 2030. The Group holds no bank facilities. The directors expect the loans to be renewed or repaid from trading cash flow as they fall due.
Supply chain continuity
Buffer stocks at destination protect customers against supply shocks and logistical delay. This raises stockholding and the cash tied up in it, which the directors accept as the cost of service continuity.
The key performance indicators that the group reviews in managing its business are set out below:

ABCOR LIMITED
GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors consider the underlying trading result for 2025 to be a strong one. Turnover grew 64%, gross margin held, and overheads before exchange differences grew 21% against a 64% increase in gross profit. Average employee numbers were 21 (2024 - 17), so the growth has been carried by a small team supported by the origin offices.
The focus for 2026 is on holding margin during that growth and on the working capital the growth consumes, in particular stock cover and debtor collection.
The Group will continue to deepen customer partnerships and long-term supplier relationships, and to use technology and automation to support higher volumes without a proportionate increase in cost. The directors expect commodity markets in the Group’s core products to remain volatile through 2026 and are planning on that basis.
Post balance sheet events
There have been no significant events affecting the Group since the year end.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

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;

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 $3,905,660 (2024 - $1,081,718).
No dividends were declared or paid during the year (2024 - $Nil). The directors have retained the profit for the year in the business to fund the working capital required to support the Group’s growth.
The directors who served during the year were:
Future developments are set out in the Group strategic report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ABCOR LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of ABCOR LIMITED (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 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 set out in note 2. 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ABCOR 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 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.
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.

ABCOR LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ABCOR 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 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:
Our approach was as follows:
∙We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the group and the parent company and determined that the most significant are those that relate to include the Companies Act 2006, and relevant tax legislation. In addition, we have considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the group’s and the parent company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.
∙We communicated 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.
∙We examined the group's regulatory and legal correspondence and discussed with management any known or suspected instances of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
∙We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud as follows:
°We considered the use of remuneration incentive schemes and performance targets for management and did not identify any additional fraud risks.
°The audit team discussed whether there were any areas that were susceptible to misstatement as part of their fraud discussion.
°In addressing the risk of management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries. We also challenged assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates and judgements.
°We incorporated an element of unpredictability in the selection of the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures.

ABCOR LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ABCOR LIMITED (CONTINUED)
∙Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify and to address material misstatements in relation to fraud, including:
°Designing audit procedures to address, for example:
−The possibility of fraudulent or corrupt payments made through third parties.
−The opportunity to segregate duties within the group.
∙Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations identified above.
°Using our experience and through discussions with management, we identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements as well as those arising from management’s own assessment of the risks that irregularities may occur either because of fraud or error.
°The engagement partner considers the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations.
∙As the group’s and company’s reporting currency is in US dollars while having significant transactions in Sterling and Euros, the company uses forward exchange contracts with its bankers to mitigate the risk of adverse currency fluctuations. These contracts are themselves inherently complex and the company relies on the information produced by its bankers to recognise the year end position We identified these transactions as being of higher risk and have therefore performed additional tests on these transactions, including agreeing the information to source information from the company’s bankers.
∙We considered the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities.
∙There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentation, or through collusion.
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.
The Comparatives were audited by SBM Associates Limited, trading as SBM & Co.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Abcor Limited ("the company") is a private company limited by shares and is domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Serendib House, 67A Boston Manor Road, Brentford, Middlesex, TW8 9JQ.
2.Accounting policies
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 up its exemption for filing an individual statement of comprehensive income in accordance with section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The company's statement of comprehensive income for the financial year has been approved by the Directors in accordance with section 414 of the Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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 profit or loss.
Freehold property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes purchase price and directly attributable expenditure. Freehold land is not depreciated. Freehold buildings are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful economic lives. The carrying value is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the freehold property comprises both land and buildings, the land element is not depreciated and is separated from the depreciable building component. If the entire property is assessed as having an indefinite useful life, no depreciation is charged.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Group enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from third parties, and loans to related parties.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the Group would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
Financial liabilities that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period.
Derivatives including forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or income as appropriate. The group does not currently

In respect of forward foreign exchange contracts, the movement in fair value at the balance sheet date is recognised within the statement of comprehensive income
Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the group.

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.
Where financing is provided by shareholders on terms that are not at market rates, the financial liability is initially recognised at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of financing for a similar debt instrument.
The difference between the proceeds received and the fair value of the liability on initial recognition is recognised as a capital contribution within equity, reflecting the benefit provided by the shareholder in their capacity as owner. Subsequently, the financial liability is measured at amortised cost. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance charge in the statement of profit or loss over the term of the loan. Critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies: (a) Undertaking forward exchange contracts to mitigate exchange rate gains or losses The company enters into forward exchange rate contracts in order to mitigate any financial risk arising from movements in exchange rates.

Capital contribution reserve
The reserve is recognised on the initial measurement of shareholder loans at fair value.
The reserve does not constitute realised profits at the date of recognition. The economic benefit represented by the reserve is subsequently reflected in retained earnings through the unwinding of the discount on the related loan liability
Profit and loss account
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 $15,533 (2024 - $15,696) (company only $nil (2024 - $nil)). Contributions totalling $2,254 (2024 - $2,388) (company only $nil (2024 - $nil)) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date and are included in creditors.
26.Other financial commitments
The group enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge certain portions of forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. At the year end the company had 53 contracts with a value totalling $18,202,243 (2024: 59 contracts with a total value of $11,657,219). These contracts can be exercised between 1 January 2026 and 31 December 2026. The forward currency contracts are measured at fair value. The key inputs used in valuing the derivatives are the forward exchange rates for GBP:USD. The fair value of the forward-foreign currency contracts at 31 December 2025 is $92,741, and is included within other creditors within creditors falling due within one year.
