Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2022 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2022. |
Business Review and Results |
We aim to present a balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of the business during the year and its position at year end. Our review is written in the context of the risks and uncertainties that we face. |
The results of the company for the year are as follows: |
31.12.2022 | 31.12.2021 |
£m | £m |
Sales | 35.81 | 36.63 |
EBITDA | 2.97 | 7.06 |
EBITDA margin | 8.29% | 19.27% |
* EBITDA is calculated after discounting non-recurring costs. |
The VMS sector like many other sectors continued to experience some difficult general trading conditions during the year and the industry faced on going challenges to trade and staffing caused by Brexit and Covid-19. The industry was impacted like many by rising inflation, impacting the price of goods, staffing costs, fuel & oil. The latter of which were heavily impacted by the Russian - Ukraine conflict. The impact of rising oil costs in particular had a significant impact on the company's material margin due to suppliers being hit with force majeure. |
Despite these difficult trading conditions, the company still reported it's third strongest annual results and closed 2022 with a growing order book giving confidence of a return to growth in 2023. According to market studies the global nutritional supplements market is expected to continue growing year on year, the global supplements market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.48% from 2022 to 2027 (ReportLinker published January 2023) and the company is committed to growing sales & increasing profitability. |
During 2021 the company was acquired by INW (Innovations in Nutrition and Wellness). INW is a US based leader in custom R&D, manufacturing and marketing support solutions for global brands that serves the fast growing nutrition and wellness industry. |
Business environment |
Since the Covid-19 virus pandemic, the health and wellbeing of our employees has remained of paramount importance and the company has continued to take robust measures to ensure that it is adhering to government advice and guidance. The business remained fully operational throughout the financial year and has coped well with the challenges the pandemic has created. |
Once again, the company wishes to place on record its sincere gratitude and appreciation to all of its employees for their dedication, commitment and hard work, during such challenging times. |
The economic environment is faced with inflationary pressures caused by the increase in the prices of raw materials, costs relating to Brexit, fuel and gas prices and increasing pressure due to the cost of living on the national living wage. Like many businesses we are facing challenges with recruitment and staffing, and a high level of competition for skilled staff. |
As previously reported, the VMS and specialist health foods sector struggled to maintain the growth experienced in 2020 as a result of COVID-19, however, the industry continues to show significant resilience to general retail market pressures; in particular, e-commerce retailers continue to challenge established market dynamics with the ability to react quickly in bringing innovative products to market. |

Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2022 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The execution of the company's corporate strategy and the management of its annual business plan are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which are routinely monitored and reviewed by the Board. Appropriate processes are implemented to manage and mitigate such risks and uncertainties. |
The principal risks and uncertainties include the following; |
Liquidity risk |
The company operates both sterling and non-sterling bank accounts and has appropriate cash resources in place to support its budgeted working capital requirements. The company continues to generate strong cash flow. |
The company has rigorous business modelling and cash flow forecasting processes which can identify cash requirements significantly ahead of time. |
Foreign exchange risk |
The company sources raw materials from a number of non-UK countries. The overwhelming majority of those purchases are acquired in either United States Dollars or Euros. The company's exposure to currency fluctuations is therefore, in the main, limited to these two currencies. Measures are in place to manage and mitigate such fluctuations by the operation of non-sterling bank accounts. |
There are no financial instruments currently in place to hedge against overseas income and expenditure; however, the situation is kept under routine review. |
Raw material price increases |
The company is sensitive to fluctuations in raw material prices. Where possible the company mitigates against price fluctuations by forward contracting in line with foreseeable requirements. |
Customer Base |
The company remains conscious of the benefit of having a broad customer base and continues to routinely monitor its business mix. |
Debt and cash |
The company does not operate a bank overdraft facility. It has facilities to fund items of plant and equipment by way of asset finance arrangements, if required. |
Changes in legislation |
The company operates in a business sector that is sensitive to the impact of changes in food regulations, both in the UK and internationally. |
Brexit |
The company successfully put in place measures to mitigate the impact of the UK leaving the EU and will continue to routinely evaluate the current and potential future impact to ensure it continues to manage the risk and challenges posed, as well as ensuring advantage is taken of arising opportunities. |
Technological Change |
The company's IT systems provide a real time view of the business enabling trading and operational decisions to be based on high quality management information. On-going investment is being made in IT systems to ensure that they are able to continue to respond to the needs of the business. Recovery processes are in place to minimise the effects of damage or denial of access to the infrastructure or systems. |
The company has invested in new software to provide a robust deterrence against emerging cyber threats alongside an actively managed internal security awareness program. |

Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31 December 2022 |
Employee Hiring and Retention |
The company appreciates the need to attract and retain high calibre employees and seeks to do so through a combination of competitive basic salaries and targeted performance related bonuses. It also appreciates the need to provide employees with clear job progression opportunities and appropriate on-going training programmes. |
As referenced in the corporate strategic outlook the company has invested significant resources and focus to its human capital expanding its Human Resources and Learning & Development team during 2022. |
Supply Chain Risk |
On going consideration is given to how Brexit, Covid-19 and the conflict in the Ukraine continue to impact the supply chain risk during FY23; however, the company continued to take appropriate steps to put implement mitigation policies, which limit any material impact. |
Meanwhile, considerable effort is directed towards working with suppliers in order to manage the potential risk of interruptions and delays in supply that may adversely impact on trade. |
In particular, the company continues to seek to maintain access to sufficient stocks of raw materials from a wide range of suppliers and destinations in order to deliver its business plan. This involves forward contracting and maintaining stock levels in line with known and anticipated requirements. |
Service levels and warehouse handling systems are continuously monitored to ensure appropriate stock control processes are in place and that goods are delivered in a timely manner. |
COVID-19 |
Whilst the initial impact of COVID-19 provided a degree of uncertainty, the company took measures and adapted working practices to mitigate the impact. Whilst the continued existence of the virus provides a risk, the company is confident with the measures taken those on-going risks are not significant. |

Report of the Directors |
for the year ended 31 December 2022 |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 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 company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, SMH Jolliffe Cork Audit Ltd, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |

In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the 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 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 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 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 |
Bee Health Limited |

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the 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 eleven, 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Bee Health Limited |
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: |
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: |
- the engagement principal 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 discussions with the Directors and other informed management which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company and thereafter, the audit 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 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 to identify unusual transactions; |
- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates 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; |
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims and reviewing correspondence with HMRC and the company's legal advisors. |
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. |
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or 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. |

Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the year ended 31 December 2022 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Bee Health Limited is a |
The company's business address is Carnaby Industrial Estate, Lancaster Road, Carnaby, Bridlington, YO15 3QY. |
The company's functional and presentation currency is the pound sterling £. All financial information presented has been rounded to the nearest £, unless otherwise stated. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are: |
Estimated useful lives of intangible and tangible fixed assets |
The annual amortisation and depreciation charges for intangible and tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful 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, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. |
Change in accounting estimate during the year: |
As noted, we actively review the condition and expected useful life of our plant and machinery. During November and December 2022, we performed a detailed review of our current and required operational capabilities to ensure the infrastructure in place was optimised and in line with production requirements for the coming. The review resulted in a change of accounting estimate and additional depreciation of £352,954 being charged in the year. |
Stock provisions |
When calculating the stock provisions or write offs, management considers the nature and condition of the stock, as well as applying assumptions around anticipated saleability. |
Impairment of debtors |
The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Turnover |
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates and net of returns, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
The company recognises the revenue when: |
- | The significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer; |
- | The amount of revenue can be measured reliably; and |
- | Likely economic benefits will flow to the entity |
Amortisation |
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows |
Goodwill - fully amortised |
Computer software |
Website development costs incurred are capitalised and then amortised over the useful economic life of 5 years, determined on a straight line basis, with the first period of amortisation being when the software is fully developed and ready for use. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Freehold property | - Not provided |
Freehold property improvements | - 4% on straight line |
Leasehold property improvements | - Over the term of the lease |
Plant and machinery | - 20% on straight line |
Motor vehicles | - 25% on reducing balance |
Computer equipment | - 35% on reducing balance |
Fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. |
The freehold property is held at valuation and is professionally revalued at least every 5 years, with a valuation by the directors in the interim. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The company has chosen to adopt the Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
Financial assets |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, 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. |
The company has no 'Other financial assets'. |
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cashflows from the asset expire or are settled or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. |
Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, hire purchase contracts and sales ledger financing, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future |
receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
The company has no 'Other financial liabilities'. |
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |

Tax rate changes |
In the Spring Budget 2021, the UK Government announced that from 1 April 2023 the corporation tax rate would increase to 25% (rather than remaining at 19% as previously enacted). Although this new law was substantively enacted on 24 May 2021, it was not until the Autumn Statement in November 2022 that the UK Government confirmed the increase in corporation tax rate to 25%. |
At the balance sheet date, the company's deferred tax provision has been remeasured from the rate of 19% to 25%. |
