Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The group operates within the quick service restaurant and coffee retail sector, as part of the wider Scoffs Group, a market that has continued to experience cost inflation, subdued consumer discretionary spending and a competitive trading environment during the period. Against this backdrop, certain group entities have reported a trading loss for the year. The directors consider it important to set out, in this report, the context for that performance and the plan in place to support a return to improved profitability.

Context for the Year's Performance
Performance during the period was affected by a combination of external cost pressures, including labour, energy and supply chain inflation, alongside the ordinary effects of an estate that has grown in recent years. The directors consider that the group's underlying trading estate remains fundamentally sound, and that current performance reflects short-term market conditions rather than any structural weakness in the business.

Performance of Individual Group Undertakings
The group comprises a number of subsidiary undertakings, the majority of which operate retail sites under the group's established franchise arrangements. Scoffs (Miss Millies) Limited does not itself operate a trading estate. Its income is derived from a property and licence arrangement with an established, existing operator of the Miss Millies brand, rather than from direct retail trading.

The Plan for Improved Performance
The Board has in place, and is actively progressing, a number of initiatives intended to support improved profitability and financial performance over the medium term. The principal elements of this plan are summarised below.

Ongoing review of the operating model and its structure
The Board maintains an ongoing review of the operating model and its structure, in the ordinary course of business planning, to ensure that capital and management focus remain directed towards the group's best-performing sites and regions.

Review of operating costs and efficiency
The group is undertaking a continued review of its operating costs and ways of working, as part of its normal course of business planning, with the aim of ensuring the business operates as efficiently as possible and that costs remain proportionate to the scale of the estate.

Investment in systems, people and the customer proposition
The group continues to invest in initiatives expected to improve productivity, cost control and revenue over the medium term, notwithstanding the current trading backdrop. These include the continued rollout of Bake Off, which broadens the in-store food proposition to support sales and margin; Dayforce, an integrated people, payroll and workforce-management platform intended to improve labour planning, payroll accuracy and management information; and Yoobic, a store-operations platform intended to improve consistency, task compliance and visibility of performance across the estate. The directors consider these investments will deliver a measurable improvement in productivity and cost control as they embed over the next 12 to 24 months.

Balance sheet and financing
The group continues to work closely with its principal funders and strategic partners to ensure that its financing arrangements and working capital facilities remain appropriate and supportive of the group's plans. The group's debt facilities were amended and restated during the prior year, resulting in reduced repayment obligations and revised covenant terms, and the directors continue to prioritise debt reduction as a core objective of the wider plan described above.

Cost efficiency programme
The group has an ongoing programme of cost efficiency initiatives across its supplier base, property portfolio and central overheads, which has already delivered recurring annual savings and continues to identify further opportunities. This programme is expected to continue to reduce the group's cost base independently of, and in addition to, the other initiatives described above.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Expected Outcome
Taken together, the directors consider that these actions provide a considered and achievable path to improved trading performance over the next 12 to 24 months. The combination of ongoing review, continued cost discipline, investment in productivity-enhancing systems, and a stable financing position is expected to support an improvement in group's underlying margins and cash generation as these initiatives progress. The Board will continue to monitor progress against this plan and will report further in future periods.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The group is a large Costa Coffee franchisee, with 110 stores under its operation.

The year to 31st December 2025 continued to present operational challenges as the retail and hospitality sectors faced ongoing pressures from subdued consumer confidence and persistent cost inflation. Despite these headwinds, we have worked closely with our brand partners to improve operational efficiency and enhance customer experience across our estate. Our continued investment in our people, including the strengthening and optimisation of our support centre team, has positioned the company well for sustainable growth into 2026 and beyond.

Key performance indicators
Performance of the company is monitored internally using a variety of statutory and alternative performance measures (APMs) and key performance indicators (KPl's). APMs are used where management considers they are more representative of underlying trading or in monitoring performance against the company's objectives.

Turnover is an important metric as it reflects the core underlying activities of the group by adding together the turnover from each coffee shop within the trading subsidiaries.

Gross Margin is an important metric as it provides valuable insight into individual store productivity which can be easily benchmarked against store in similar turnover cohorts.

Operating profit is an important metric as it is an indirect measure of efficiency. The higher the operating profit, the more profitable the company's core business is.

Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and one-off exceptional costs ("Adjusted EBITDA ") is considered, by management, to be informative as it reflects operating profit adjusted for non-cash charges.

The figures for these 4 key performance measures are stated below:

2025 2024
Turnover £56,358,582 £54,626,352
Gross profit margin 33% 34.3%
Operating profit/(loss) (£537,902 ) (£445,752 )
Adjusted EBITDA £4,391,998 £4,112,103

Turnover increased by 3.2% to £56.4 million demonstrating improved productivity across our existing estate.

Gross profit margin reduced slighlty from 34.3% to 33.0%.

Operating loss decreased 20.67% from £445,752 in 2024 to £537,902 in 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 6.8% from £4.11 million to £4.39 million, showing strong underlying operational performance and the benefit of our strategic focus on profitability over unit growth.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In the course of normal business, the group continually assesses significant risks faced and takes action to mitigate potential impacts. The principal risks (which is not intended to be a comprehensive analysis) facing the group are as follows:

Financial and liquidity
The general health of the UK economy and individuals' disposable income remains important to the group's success. The group manages potential downturns by effectively managing our cost base and making strategic decisions about market entry and exit as appropriate.

Operating capital - The availability of operating capital is crucial to ensuring that the group has sufficient funds to meet liabilities as they fall due to suppliers and employees. The group manages this by reviewing cash flow daily and tracking on a rolling year basis to ensure sufficient funds are available. The group renewed its banking facilities after the year-end, in February 2026.

Operational risks
Customer service - The group relies on its teams to provide quality customer service. Teams receive rigorous training covering customer service and digital tools to identify and mitigate risks, ensuring high standards and positive customer experiences are maintained. All operations are supported through a central operations team that coordinates across the group.

Health and safety - All staff receive comprehensive training to ensure awareness of risks and mitigation strategies. The group undertakes regular store audits to ensure policies and procedures are adhered to through field leadership and central operations support teams. We work extremely closely with our brand partners to ensure the highest health and safety standards are delivered at all times.

Portfolio optimization - The group faces the ongoing challenge of optimizing its store portfolio for maximum profitability. We actively monitor store performance and make strategic decisions about store closures, relocations, new openings and investment. This includes the risk of lease obligations for underperforming stores, which we manage through onerous contract provisions and active landlord negotiations.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
This section serves as our section 172 statement. Section 172(1)(a) to (t) of the Companies Act 2006 requires the directors to exercise their duty to promote the success of Scoffs Group for the benefit of its members as a whole, including taking into consideration the interests of key stakeholders in their decision making.

The directors continue to have regard to the interests of the group's employees and other stakeholders, including the impact of its activities on the community, the environment and the group's reputation, when making decisions. Acting in good faith and fairly between members, the directors consider what is most likely to promote the success of the group for its members in the long term.

Our stakeholders
The directors consider the group's key stakeholders to be:

- Workforce - the strength of our business is built on the hard work and dedication of all our employees, and they rely on us to provide stable employment and opportunities to realize their potential in a working environment where they can perform at their best. We ensure that training and development opportunities are available to our employees so that they can reach their maximum potential. The group has embedded digital support platforms to track, review and inform teams, ensuring they have the tools to perform their roles and optimize group performance and culture;
- Customers - our customers are the reason we exist. With multiple choices of coffee shops and QSR options, it is essential to our future that we continually strive to provide the highest quality products in an enjoyable and safe environment, and at competitive prices. By doing so, we build brand value and customer loyalty;
- Communities and the environment - with our presence on high streets, retail parks and drive-thrus, local communities expect us to act responsibly and be a "good neighbour" while minimizing any negative impact we might have on their local environment;
- Suppliers - we rely on our suppliers to make and distribute our products, provide the premises from which we sell our products and provide essential services needed to operate our business. Our suppliers rely on us to generate revenue and employment for them.

Having regard to the likely consequences of any decision in the long term
Within the fast-moving food and beverage retail sector, operational cycles are very short. Despite this, the directors remain mindful that strategic decisions can have long-term implications for the business and its stakeholders, and these implications are carefully assessed.

Having regard to the interests of the group's employees
The importance of good relations and communications with employees is fundamental to the continued success of the business. The group maintains good employee relations and consults employees as appropriate to its particular needs. As part of our central operations team, we have a communications function that manages all internal communications and their timing.

The directors take active steps to ensure that suggestions, views and interests of the workforce are captured and considered in decision-making processes.

Having regard to the need to foster business relationships with brand partners, suppliers, customers and others
Brand Partners - The directors seek to balance the benefits of maintaining strong partner relationships with Costa Coffee and Itsu, working in collaboration to obtain value for money, fair and equitable ROI, and continually optimize quality and service levels for our customers.

Suppliers - Throughout the year, the directors were actively involved in major contract renegotiations and strategy regarding key suppliers, notably with landlords of the group's store premises. The directors seek to balance strong partnering relationships with key suppliers alongside the need to obtain value for money and desired quality and service levels.

Customers - As a retail business, customer sentiment is reflected in the group's underlying sales performance figures and service metrics, which the directors review regularly. Working closely with our brand partners, customer interests are considered in key decisions relating to store refurbishment programs, product lines, and supplier selection to ensure quality and safety standards are met.

STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING
The group uses more than 40,000 KWh of energy per year and meets the definition of a "large" company under the Companies Act 2006. The group is therefore required to report its energy usage and associated greenhouse gas emissions relating to gas, electricity and transport fuel in the accounting period.

This is the fourth year the group has been required to report and as such, has treated the 2020 financial year ended as its base year for measurement, KPI setting and progress reporting in future years.

Quantification and reporting methodology
The group has followed the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Guidelines. The group has used the 2025 UK Government's Conversion Factors for Company Reporting.

Intensity measurement
The chosen intensity measurement ratio is total gross emissions in kg CO2e per square metre, which we consider to be appropriate for the group and the sector it operates in.

Measures taken to improve energy efficiency
The group continues in its drive to improve energy efficiency and to build on steps taken in previous years.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the financial statements;
- 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and 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.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:



A Tagliamonti - Director


8 October 2026

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Scoffs Group Ltd

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Scoffs Group Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, 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 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 affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of the group's loss 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 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 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 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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 Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Scoffs Group Ltd


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 Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page eight, 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 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Scoffs Group Ltd


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 a Report of the Auditors 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:

We ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and that they remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

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:

- based on our understanding of the company and industry, and through discussions with directors and key management, we identified any specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; and
- we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence.

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 as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

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

- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
- tested journal entries, particularly focused around the year-end, to identify unusual transactions;
- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates in the notes to the financial statements were indicative of potential bias; and
- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
- reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, 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 Report of the Auditors.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Scoffs Group Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern
These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and parent company will continue in operational existence for a period of at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. The validity of this assumption depends on the continuing support of the group's lenders and company directors and the group shareholder. If the company were unable to continue in existence for the foreseeable future, adjustments would be necessary to reduce the balance sheet values of assets to their recoverable amounts and to reclassify fixed assets as current assets.

The group balance sheet shows a net liabilities position at the year-end. However, this has arisen due to the ongoing amortisation of consolidated goodwill amounting to £718,149 per annum. While this write down is in accordance with relevant UK accounting standards the directors consider that the fair value of this goodwill considerably exceeds the book value stated in the accounts.

Management have assessed whether there are any events or conditions that cast significant doubt upon the group's ability to continue as a going concern:

Financial factors
The group continued to balance a number of capital priorities, including ongoing debt reduction, continued investment in the estate through its store refurbishment programme, and planned capital and operational improvement initiatives. These investments are intended to strengthen the customer proposition, modernise the group's systems and improve operational control and productivity over the longer term. The directors have reviewed rolling budget and cash flow forecasts for the assessment period and are satisfied that the group has adequate resources and support in place to meet its obligations as they fall due.

The bank lending facilities were renewed after the year-end in February 2026 and the directors have no reason to believe that, when the group has the option to extend the facilities in February 2027, that they will not be renewed.

Operating factors
The Group continues to trade in line with its established operating model and remains focused on maintaining operational continuity across the estate. The Group continues to invest in its stores, systems and operational capability through its established refurbishment and improvement programmes. No adverse changes in market conditions, key relationships or staffing have been identified that would impact the Group's operating continuity.

No other factors have been identified by management that would cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated profit and loss account and balance sheet include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings made up to 31 December 2024. The results of subsidiaries sold or acquired are included in the profit and loss account up to, or from the date control passes. Intra-group sales and profits are eliminated fully on consideration.

Classification of a lease
Determining whether leases entered into by the company as a lessee are operating leases or finance leases. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the company.

Impairment of investments
The company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that investments may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If there are no indications of impairment, it is not necessary to estimate the recoverable amount.

When undertaking this review for potential, management assess the various information available to it, both internally, and externally.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.

Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re - assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, further investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. Further details are shown in both the tangible fixed assets accounting policy and the tangible fixed assets note contained in these financial statements.

Dilapidation and decommissioning contingent liability
The company makes an estimate per store on how much its liability would be to restore each store to the conditions outlined in the lease. When assessing this the company considered various matters including, the current condition of each store and the amount of leasehold improvement that have been made that would be required to be removed. Further details can be found in the provisions for liabilities note contained in these financial statements.

Onerous contracts
Contracts in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are considered to be onerous. In such circumstances a provision is recognised in the financial statements, calculated as the net present value of all future cashflows. All future losses are allocated against the provision. Further details can be found in the provisions for liabilties note contained in these financial statements.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

The group operates from various stores across the United Kingdom.

Revenue recognition - sale of goods

Turnover is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Shop sales of good are recognised on sale to the customer, which is considered the point of delivery. Sales are by cash, debit card or credit card.

Goodwill
Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Goodwill is amortised over its estimated useful life on a straight line basis.

The directors annually reappraise the useful economic life of goodwill on the balance sheet and believe that a total useful economic life of 20 years remains appropriate for the group.

Intangible assets
Patents and licence fees are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Patents and licence fees are amortised over their estimated useful economic life, being the original lease period of the store to which the fees relate.

Amortisation is charged to administrative expenses in the income statement.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its useful economic life:

Short leasehold - over the term of the lease
Long leasehold - over the term of the lease
Improvements to property - 10% on cost
Plant and machinery - 20% on cost
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 20% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost
Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
Financial assets
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at the transaction value.

They are then subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method,

At the end of each reporting period financial assets are assessed for impairment. If an impairment exists the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

Financial assets are derecognised when:
- the contractual right to cash flows from the asset are settled or expire,
- substantially all the risk and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or
- despite retaining some significant risks and rewards, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset without additional restrictions.

Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors are initially recognised at the transaction value.

They are then subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Leases that do not transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases are charged to the income statement t on a straight line bass over the period of the lease.

Incentives received to enter into an operating lease are credited to the income statement, to reduce the lease expense, on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Dilapidations and decommissioning liabilities

The group operates a number of stores through short leases that contain an obligation in the agreement to remove leasehold improvements at the end of the lease term or when the premises are vacated.

It is the group's policy to provide for dilapidations only where a managed exit, either part way through or at the end of the lease term, is considered to be probable and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

The group has identified 15 stores where a managed exit is considered to be probable. The total theoretical dilapidation costs of these stores, calculated by third party specialist property consultants, and after estimated landlord negotiation discounts, is believed to be in the region of £684,160 (2024: £705,009). Assuming a risk-free discount rate of 3.9%, a dilapidation provision of £531,805 (2024: £542,975) has been provided for and capitalised under improvements to property in accordance with FRS102, and will be depreciated over the remaining terms of the leases commencing 1 January 2026. The provision will also be increased by 3.9% until the end of the lease term such that at the expected lease-exit date the provision will match the expected dilapidation cost to be incurred.

Where the lease is likely to be retained for the foreseeable future, or where a lease has been recently signed for a new store, the obligation is not considered to be probable and/or cannot be estimated reliably and therefore a dilapidation provision is not provided for.

The majority stores in operation are expected to be retained for the foreseeable future and it is the opinion of the director that the leases in situ do not meet the requirement for provision under FRS102 as The Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 provides that a commercial tenant has the right to renew its lease of the premises that it occupies for the purposes of its business.

No security has been given for any dilapidation or decommissioning liabilities.

Onerous contracts

The company operates 7 stores through short leases that are considered to be onerous, with a total provision in the financial statements of £864,960 (2024: £585,137).
