GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024


The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 May 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The group continues to manufacture bespoke commercial vehicles for a variety of industries.

The group is based just outside Lincoln in Lincolnshire and primarily retails Peugeot and Fiat alongside other makes such as Vauxhall, Citroen, Renault and Mercedes.

The key financial performance indicators are considered to be sales, gross margins and profit on ordinary activities, as shown in the income statement along with solvency and the working capital position as indicated in the statement of financial position.

With the challenging economic and retail climate the core trade element of the business has continued to perform well. Turnover has increased in the year to £36,524,437 (2023: £31,497,729) the gross profit margin has decreased to 33% (2023: 35%).

The above have combined to produce a profit on ordinary activities of £11,435,938 (2023: £10,035,914).

The director considers the statement of financial position of the group to be strong, with a comfortable net asset and working capital position. Management remains mindful of the competitive environment in which the group operates and the need to maintain close control over the group's working capital and financial position.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The group is affected by a number of factors, the principle ones of which are:

- The group is exposed to the risk of negative developments in global and regional economies and financial markets, either directly or through the impact on the group's bankers, suppliers or customers. These developments can result in recession, inflation, deflation, currency fluctuations, restrictions in the availability of credit, business failures in the customer or supplier base, or increase in financing costs, and the cost of utilities, raw materials and finished products. Such development might increase operating costs, reduce revenues, lower asset values or result in the business being unable to meet in full its strategic objectives.

- The group operates in a competitive market and failure to compete effectively in terms of price, product specification or levels of service can have an adverse effect on demand and/or margins.

The group mitigates risk in several ways:

- The group has in place an organisational structure with clearly defined lines of responsibility and delegation of authority. There are established policies and procedures for the setting of corporate strategies; financial planning and budgeting; for information and reporting systems; for systems of operational and financial internal control; for assessment of risk; and for monitoring operations and performance.

- Management and staff at all levels work closely with customers and suppliers to operate as effectively and efficiently as possible whilst maintaining long term working relationships, innovation and good lines of communication.

- The group operates a recruitment and selection process to ensure employees are experienced and competent in their work. The workforce is trained to be alert, responsive to customer needs and to operate in line with the group's corporate objectives.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The director looks forward to the future with cautious optimism and is ready to take advantage of opportunities which may present themselves. The electrification of vehicles has been taken into account in the company's strategic plans and in financial growth forecasts however at this stage is not thought to present any risk to the company's operations.

MARK HARRIS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 11078444)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024


The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 May 2024.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the group in the year under review was that of commercial vehicle sales and property management.

DIVIDENDS
Interim dividends totalling £10615 per share were paid during the year. The director recommends that no final dividend be paid.

The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 May 2024 will be £ 1,061,500 .

DIRECTOR
M R Harris held office during the whole of the period from 1 June 2023 to the date of this report.

EVENTS SINCE THE YEAR END
The current ongoing issues in Israel and the Ukraine are not anticipated to impact on the company's supply of materials or production lines. The director remains confident that the company will enjoy expansion and increased profitability in future years through innovation and efficiencies.

STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING
The director has invested significantly in measures to reduce the carbon footprint of the group. The acquisition of a biomass system, the switch to energy efficient lighting and the capture of rain water for use, all contribute significantly to improvements in energy reduction. The Director continues to seek avenues of efficiency and intends to invest in this area in future years.

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT
The group has chosen to include information regarding future developments, and principle risks and uncertainties in the strategic report rather than the directors report.

DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is required to:

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 director is 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 he 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:





M R Harris - Director

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
MARK HARRIS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Mark Harris (Holdings) Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 May 2024 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 affairs as at 31 May 2024 and of the group's 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 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 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 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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 Director 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 Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
MARK HARRIS (HOLDINGS) 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 Director.

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; or

Responsibilities of director
As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page three, 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 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 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 director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
MARK HARRIS (HOLDINGS) 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:

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the organisation and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework (FRS102), the Companies Act 2006 and the relevant tax compliance.

We understood how the organisation is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management and those charged with governance, and we corroborated our enquiries by reviewing board minutes and reviewing third party correspondence, including correspondence with HMRC.

We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by meeting with management from various parts of the business to understand where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud. We considered the controls that the organisation has established to address risks identified, or that otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud and also reviewed how these had operated in the year.

Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk along with procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations identified in the paragraphs above along with areas where management override of controls may be relevant. These procedures included assessing the appropriateness of presentation of separately disclosed items with a focus on manual journals and journals indicating large or unusual transactions based on our understanding of the organisation. These procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from material fraud or error.

We also considered the risk associated with completeness of income and work-in-progress and whether this could have a material impact on the financial statements. Work was targeted in these areas.

We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The audit was planned to ensure that the more complex areas were performed by more experienced members of the audit team and there were no areas of the audit which were considered to require external experts to be appointed by the audit team.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

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

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

Basis of consolidation
The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Mark Harris (Holdings) Limited and all its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 May each year. Control comprises the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee via control of the issued share capital of those companies.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

The parent company has taken advantage of section 408 of the companies act 2006 and has not included its own income statements in these financial statements.

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

Website is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Freehold property - 2% on cost
Improvements to property - 2% on cost
Plant and machinery - 20% on reducing balance

Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance and 20% on reducing balance

No depreciation is provided for on Freehold Land.

Inventories and work in progress

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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.

Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.


Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
