Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 May 2023

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 May 2023.

The principal activity of the group in the year under review was that of nationwide road haulage distribution and storage contractors.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The results for the year of the company and group are set out in the annexed financial statements.

2022-2023 was another successful year for Stan Robinson Group. Turnover levels were bettered with the margin being consistently maintained.

Throughout the year the Group has remained financially strong with very good levels of cashflow providing self funding without the need for bank financing.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The following are some of the more significant key performance indicators identified by the Directors:

Turnover
Total consolidated group sales of £26.7 million were made in the year compared to £26.6 million last year. In fact this is not a real increase as turnover includes the diesel surcharge.The surcharge is included in the diesel costs which rose from £5.1 million in 2022 to £5.2 million this year. In real terms group turnover fell by £560 thousand.

The service performance of the haulage operation has been excellent underlying Stan Robinson's continued commitment to retain and further its reputation in the industry. The management and staff have continued to work hard to maintain its commitment to customers by always looking to improve service quality and achieve customer satisfaction.

Asset investment
The Group has invested heavily in fixed assets with almost £2.5 million being invested in vehicles to support the haulage business.This continuous investment looks to improve the quality of service and realise better service times to ensure customer expectations are met or better still exceeded.

Operating cashflow
As mentioned previously, the Group continues to manage its trading cashflow exceptionally well without the need of bank overdrafts or bank financing. In 2023 cash generated from operations was almost £3.5 million.

The Directors have always and continue to monitor the Group's performance on a regular basis by a review of various financial reports prepared by management striving for continual improvement wherever possible.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 May 2023

STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING (continued)

Managing climate and energy
The Group's primary energy objective is to maintain and improve current performance levels in relation to the energy baseline already established and the energy efficiency of the Group by identifying project specific initiatives to reduce electricity consumption and fuel use. Monitoring of electricity and fuel use is used to inform the success of the initiatives and to identify how further energy efficiencies can be achieved. The plan aims to mitigate the impact of CO2 emissions.

Strategy
1. Agree annual energy targets in line with energy baseline, strategy, goals, and monitor performance monthly.
2. Review performance trends and continually update the action plan.
3. Engage with employees to ensure they support the approach to energy management.
4. Empower employees to change the way they work.
4. Ensure as directors that the Group complies with existing, new and emerging legislation.

The Group will continuously monitor performance and report any progress against actions. The action plans will be reviewed monthly by directors and senior management.

Carbon data reporting methodology
The directors have followed the 2019 HM Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines. They have also used the GHG Reporting Protocol Corporate Standard and have used the 2023 UK Government's Conversion Factors for Company Reporting.
Further they have used the intensity metric of total Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions per £m revenue (tCO2e/£m) for normalising emissions.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risk facing the group continues to be maintaining margins and market share which continue to be challenging but, through great service to customers, strong regional representation and the use of modern technology, the directors are confident that the group will always be able to meet this challenge.

Further, the group is always exposed to diesel price risk as diesel fuel is a key supply to the transport fleet of vehicles. With new operational efficiencies continually being sought, the directors are hopeful of profitability being sustained. The directors keep a very strict control on all costs and will continue to do so.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
The directors of Stan Robinson Group Limited ("Stan Robinson") confirm that they have acted in good faith in the way they consider what would be most likely to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole. In doing so they have considered, among other matters, those set out in section 172(1) (a) to (f) of the Companies Act 2006:

(a) the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
(b) the interests of the group's employees;
(c) the need to foster the group's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;
(d) the impact of the group's operations on the community and the environment;
(e) the desirability of the group maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct;
(f) and the need to act fairly as between members of the group.

The stakeholders the directors consider in this regard are primarily its employees and customers. Engagement with all stakeholders is of fundamental importance across the business and the directors are focused on building these relationships on a continuous basis.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT (continued)

Employees
The employees are at the centre of everything Stan Robinson does and the Group continues to invest time and money in making Stan Robinson a better place to work. The directors recognise that the success of the business depends on attracting, retaining and motivating employees, by ensuring that Stan Robinson remains a responsible employer, from pay and benefits to the health, safety and workplace environment. The employees, staff and directors have lots of expertise, especially in terms of experience and logistics know-how.Gender pay gap is monitored and the directors try to identify opportunities to improve performance throughout all levels of employ.

Customers
Stan Robinson seeks to put its customers at the top of its priorities. In some areas there is some reliance on a small number of customers. Loss of a significant customer would impact on revenues and profits. Relationship management of significant customers remains a priority, with the senior management closely involved and reporting regularly.

The directors consider that in the best interests of Stan Robinson and to do the right thing in terms of delivering continued value for all stakeholders over the longer term that cash be retained to continue capital investment to further develop and grow the logistics business. A newer vehicle fleet will have a beneficial impact on the community in terms of having quality of jobs available, and will further support the development of a low carbon infrastructure by working to minimise emissions.

POSITION OF THE GROUP’S BUSINESS AT THE END OF THE YEAR
The financial positions of the company and group at the end of the year is extremely healthy with adequate cash resources for continuing the business operations. The group balance sheet shows net current assets of £4 million and shareholders' funds of almost £18 million.

OUTLOOK FOR 2024
The Directors are delighted with the position that the Group is in and continue to work hard to win new business and further increase the organic growth of the business from its existing customers. The Directors remain confident that the Group is well placed to continue to maintain similar levels of profitability in the coming 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.

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

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.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD:



Mrs P Wilson - Secretary


16 October 2023

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of
Stan Robinson Group Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Stan Robinson Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 May 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of 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's affairs as at 31 May 2023 and of the group's profit for the year then ended;

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;

- 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 Auditors' Report 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.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of
Stan Robinson Group Limited


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 in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

- the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, 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.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

In planning and designing our audit tests we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement within the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. Our assessment of these risks includes consideration of the nature of the industry and sector, the control environment and the business performance along with the results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of risks and irregularities. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act, UK tax legislation and other laws and regulations identified as risk areas identified from our discussions with management.


Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of
Stan Robinson Group Limited

We communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members including internal specialists, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

After consideration of the above risks we then carried out audit procedures including the following:

- specific tests in relation to material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements considered to be of high risk;

- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;

- reading minutes of management meetings;

- reviewing correspondence with H M Revenue & Customs;

- enquiring of management and reviewing any correspondence with legal advisors concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;

- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;

- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that the laws and regulations are from financial transactions the less likely it is that we would be aware on 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 Auditors' Report.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The principle accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

These Group 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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and are in accordance with applicable accounting standard.

The group has cash resources and has no requirement for further external funding. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.On this basis the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.

Where the acquisition method is used, the results of subsidiary undertakings are included from the date of acquisition.

Significant judgements and estimates
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include:

Trade debtor provisioning
An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for potential credit losses based upon management's assessment of the expected collectability of all accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed periodically to assess the adequacy of the allowance.

Turnover
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates value added tax and other sales taxes.

The following criteria is used to determine when revenue is recognised:

Haulage and storage
Revenue is recognised on the delivery of the service based on the proportion of the total delivered at the Statement of Financial Position date.

Parts sales, servicing and test station fees
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. This is usually at the point when the goods are despatched or the service has been delivered.

Storage and pick and pack warehousing
Revenue is recognised on the delivery of the service based on the proportion of the total delivered at the Statement of Financial Position date.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Freehold property- 2% on cost
Long leasehold- 5% on cost
Plant and machinery- 25% on reducing balance, at variable rates on reducing balance, and straight line
rates between 10% and 33% and straight line rates between 10% and 25%.
Office equipment- 25% straight line and straight line rates between 10% and 25%
Motor vehicles- 25% on reducing balance

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within Cost of Sales in the Income Statement.

Investment property
Investment properties are included in the statement of financial position at their open market value and are not depreciated. This treatment is contrary to the Companies Act 2006, which states that fixed assets should be depreciated, but is, in the opinion of the directors, necessary in order to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the company and the group.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its net realisable value. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the Countries where the group operates and generates income.

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

Deferred tax liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to be effective at the time the timing differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred tax balances are not discounted.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash in hand, demand deposits, and highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

Hire purchase
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

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

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Income Statement when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plans are held separately from the group in independently administered funds.

Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to the Income Statement over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

Financial instruments
The group enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, and loans to related parties.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration, expected to be paid or received.

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 Income Statement.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

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 company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

Financial equity is classified according to the substance of the financial instrument's contractual obligations, rather than the instruments legal form. In line with this policy, the preference shares are classified as a liability.
