Strategic report
Year ended 31 January 2024
Principal Activity and Business Review
The principal activity of the company continues to be that of operating petrol service stations with convenience stores.
The performance of the company, the state of affairs at the balance sheet date and the future prospects are considered to be satisfactory. The company's turnover for the year increased by 1% to £87,417,091 (2023: £86,499,340). Gross profit margin for the year remained at 12% (2023: 12%). Capital investment of £511,377 (2023: £273,364) was incurred on refurbishment and updating new and existing properties and equipment. The administrative expenses increased by 26%, due to inflation and growth. All refurbished sites became fully operational by the year end, which is expected to increase future turnover. At the Balance sheet date the net assets of the company increased to £11,268,617 (2023: £8,653,355).
The director reviews the business strategy on an ongoing basis to address the key business risks and to secure the company's business. This ensures steady growth over the financial years.
Future developments
The company continually reviews its strategy and business models to sustain and improve profitability and growth. This is achieved by refining the business model to enhance customer care, profit margins,and resource efficiency. The company strives to improve the offering in each branch by maintaining good relationship with the key suppliers.
Principal Risk and Uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the company are environmental risks, general economic conditions and increased competition. The environmental risk facing the company is general hydro carbon pollution associated with the petroleum forecourts. The director has taken steps to minimise this risk by employing external environmental specialist to continuously monitor and report such risks. The company also regularly maintains the fuel storage and dispensing equipment to very high standards to mitigate risks. The company operates in challenging conditions due to increased competition from supermarkets, weak economic condition, weaker pound and increased price of fuel and cost of the goods sold. The company addresses these risks by negotiating better prices with its fuel suppliers, sourcing products competitively from wholesalers, obtaining bulk buying discounts, and regularly reviewing selling prices and margins.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The company is exposed to financial risks arising from its normal business activities. Company's policies on financial risk management are implemented by its director. The main risks and the companies approach to dealing with these risks is as follows:
Price risk
The price risk is the potential exposure of the company to the volatility in wholesale oil prices. The company manages this risk by negotiating a volume based supply agreement with fixed margins and closely monitoring the wholesale oil prices before placing purchase orders.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the potential exposure of the company to loss in the event of non-performance by a counterpart. The company is not exposed to credit risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that insufficient working capital will be generated by the company's business activities and in this event suitable sources of funding may not be available. The company mitigates this risk by exercising effective credit management and negotiating favourable terms with its suppliers.
Cash flow risk
The company finances its operations from its reserves. Short term cash flow need is monitored on a daily and weekly basis to ensure commitments are met on a timely basis. Longer term cash flow risk is mitigated by strategically negotiating competitive interest rate at fixed margins.
Key performance indicators ("KPIs")
The director uses financial and non-financial performance indicators to monitor and control performance of the company and to manage the risks. These indicators are regularly reviewed to ensure that they remain appropriate and relevant to monitor the challenges, complexities and improvements in the business. An analysis using KPIs for an understanding of the development, performance and position of the business has been prepared. Due to commercial sensitivity these are not disclosed in the accounts. In any event the director is of the opinion that underlying financial statements would enable key financial KPI's to be evaluated. An indication of key performance indicators used by the director is as follows:
- Gross profit margins of fuel and shop sales for each branch compared to expectations set by the director
- Fuel volume and shop sales monitored against the budgets
- Regular qualitative assessment reports prepared by external specialist are used to monitor the quality of the
service offered at each branch
Section 172(1) Statement
The director is required to explain how they consider the interests of key stakeholders, and the broader matters set out in section 172(1) (A) to (F) of the companies Act 2006 ('S172'), when performing their duty to promote the success of the company. The section 172 statement explains who the company's stakeholder groups are and their material issues and how the director engage with them on principal decisions taken by the company during the financial year. The S172 statement focuses on matters of strategic importance and the level of information disclosed is consistent with the size and the complexity of the business. The objective of the director is aligned with the expectations of our employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders, communities and society.
Employees
The health, safety and well-being of the people is one of the primary priorities in the way company conducts its business.

For the business to succeed company manages the employees performances ensuring it operates as efficiently as possible. All employees complete business conduct training relevant to their specific roles, which are refreshed periodically. The employees with the aptitude for challenges are selected for further training for growth and higher responsibilities.
Business Relationships (Customers and Suppliers)
Retaining existing customers and obtaining new customers is a key objective in delivering high standards of service. Company works on developing its customer relationships, continuously reviewing and enhancing customer experience and product offerings at each site. At the same time the company works closely with suppliers to optimise its supply chain and implement efficient processes. The company maintains strong relationships with its key suppliers, ensuring that they are paid within the pre agreed credit terms.
Fairness
The director understands the need to act fairly between the members of the company and believe that his actions as a director should lead to responsible behaviour towards all members and treat them fairly and equally, therefore they also benefit from the successful delivery of the company's strategic goals.
Environment and communities
The company operates in a regulated oil sector. To ensure its impact on the environment and the community is as innocuous as possible, the company closely monitors any fuel loss, using complex electronic monitoring systems and ensures all equipment and storage facilities are well maintained updated regularly. Also, the company works closely with its suppliers to cut down on waste and reduce the amount of unnecessary packaging.

Methodologies for energy and emissions calculations
The table above summarises the GHG emissions for reporting year: 1st February 2023 - 31st January 2024. This is the first year company has assessed its emissions, and this will set the baseline for future assessments.
The company appointed Carbon Footprint Ltd, a leading carbon and energy management company, to independently assess its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in accordance with the UK Government's 'Environmental Reporting Guidelines: Including Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting Guidance'.
The GHG emissions have been assessed following the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard and has used the 2023 emission conversion factors published by Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The assessment follows the GHG Protocol reporting both location and market-based emissions for Scope 2 electricity usage. The operational control approach has been used.
Principal measures taken to increase energy efficiency
As well as ensuring all new electricity contracts are from renewable energy, the company's continued programme to convert old lighting system to new energy efficient LED Lights and sensors for the non retail areas, adding doors to all chillers, replacing the old condensers to new energy efficient units and modernising the equipments will reduce the overall electricity usage.
Despite the delay to the mandatory timeline for EV adaptation to 2035, the company is planning to roll out new EV charging stations on the fourcourts where feasible. First charging station is planned for installation in 2025.

JP&S Servicess Limited
Independent auditor's report to the members of
JP&S Servicess Limited
Year ended 31 January 2024
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of JP&S Servicess Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 January 2024 which comprise the statement of income and retained earnings, statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and 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 FRS 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 company's affairs as at 31 January 2024 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 auditor’s 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The director is responsible for the other information. 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 director's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the strategic report and the director's report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the director's report. 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 the returns; or - certain disclosures of director's 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 director's responsibilities statement, the director is 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 director determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's 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 auditor’s 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: Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations and ability to detect Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the petroleum licenses, environment protection, food safety and safety at workplace, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, direct and indirect taxes. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to financial reporting fraud and misappropriation of assets facilitated through the posting of fraudulent journal entries. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: - made enquiries with the directors to determine if there were any discussions involving actual frauds or alleged frauds, or non-compliance with laws and regulations. - performing inquiries of management to determine if they were aware of any actual frauds, alleged frauds or non-compliance with laws or regulations. - performing testing of journal entries using a risk-based criteria to determine if any unusual journal entries had been posted that would have had the impact of overstating turnover or concealing the misappropriation of cash at bank and in hand; and - obtaining third party confirmation of bank balances. - documenting and verifying all significant related party transaction. - reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non­compliance 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 a material misstatement 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 auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 31 January 2024
1. General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 797 Harrow Road, Sudbury Town, Wembley, HA0 2LP.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. Significant judgements,estimation or assumptions that have had to be made by management in preparing these financial statements is as follows:
Depreciation and residual values
The directors have reviewed the asset lives and associated residual values of all fixed asset classes, and have concluded that asset lives and residual values are appropriate.
The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the assets and projected disposal values.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, net of discounts and Value Added Tax.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods); the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.
Taxation
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on business acquisitions and represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the company's interest in the net amount of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business.Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. It is amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life. Where a reliable estimate of the useful life of goodwill or intangible assets cannot be made, the life is presumed not to exceed ten years.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:
Goodwill - Over useful economic life of 7 years
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Tangible assets
tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in capital and reserves, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Freehold property - Not depreciated
Long leasehold property - 2% straight line
Short leasehold property - over 10 years
Fittings fixtures and equipment - 20 % reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 20 % reducing balance
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of tangible assets, the depreciation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Freehold Property
Land and buildings are not depreciated. This is a departure from FRS 102. Due to extensive maintenance, the residual life of the building is expected to be infinitive. Therefore the value of depreciation would be immaterial.
Impairment
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned to those units.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase on a first in first out basis and other costs incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.
Hire purchase and finance leases
Assets held under finance leases are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event; it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense. Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised in finance costs in profit or loss in the period it arises.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets or either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in finance costs in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
Going Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
