STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
The principal activity of the company during the year was motor trading in new Citroen, Peugeot and MG cars, Used cars and vehicle maintenance activities.
The directors consider the results for the year and the financial position at the year-end to be satisfactory. Turnover and gross profit are both considered to have remained strong during the year and the current ratio of the company remains consistent at 2.4 (2023 - 1.8). The results for the year are set against ongoing supply constraints caused by the after effects of Covid-19 pandemic and more recently the Ukraine war. The company has a disciplined approach to preparation of monthly management accounts and internal analysis of KPI’s to enable ongoing performance review.
The company is heavily dependent on the ready supply of new vehicles and parts from the manufacturers represented together with the need for buoyant consumer demand. High interest rates, high inflation, expensive energy costs and the war in Ukraine all lead to uncertainty in the forthcoming year. Undoubtedly the business is entering another challenging period together with a changing demand pattern as Electric vehicles start to become established.
With this scenario it is not possible to definitively predict all the eventualities that may occur. However with many long-standing, experienced and loyal staff and sound accounting processes, the Directors are confident the company can adapt and manage the risks to safeguard the company’s future.
Relevant indicators are included with the business review section, above. Many other KPI’s for comparative purposes are not relevant due to previous influences of Covid-19 on business turnover. Furthermore supply shortages ensuing from Covid-19 continue to mean that trading is still not “normal”. We continue to monitor cash resources and net profit as key fundamentals.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
The Directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements 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 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 to 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.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £109,081 (2023 - £221,582).
Dividends paid during the year amounted to £60,660 (2023 - £40,320).
The Directors who served during the year were:
The company expects to maintain organic growth subject to New Vehicle availability and consumer demand meeting expectation. The steady expansion of Electric vehicles sales and the government legislation to phase out ICE models by 2030 will undoubtedly involve changes to sales mix and quite possibly the distribution models adopted by the manufacturers. The company is well placed to be responsive to those future but, as yet, undefined requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROY H G TOLLEY LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Roy H G Tolley Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 30 June 2024, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, 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).
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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
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.

ROY H G TOLLEY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROY H G TOLLEY LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Directors' Report.

ROY H G TOLLEY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROY H G TOLLEY LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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:
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, through discussion with the directors (as required by auditing standards), inspection of the company's regulatory and legal correspondence and discussed with the directors the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of noncompliance throughout the audit. The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably. Firstly, the company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation and taxation legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. Secondly, the company is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: meeting the requirements set by dealerships, FCA regulations (as a broker), health and safety, human rights and employment law, GDPR and compliance with the Companies Act. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the company complies with such regulations; enquiries of management and those charged with governance concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and the performance of analytical review to identify any unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
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.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Roy H G Tolley Limited is a private company limited by share capital incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered office is 73 Gosbecks Road, Colchester, Essex, CO2 9JS.
The principal activity of the company during the year was motor trading in new Citroen, Peugeot and MG cars, used cars and car servicing. The presentational currency used is Sterling and the level of rounding is to the nearest £1.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Directors anticipate that the Company will be able to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Whilst the world economic situation continues to be uncertain and new vehicle supply may be constrained by materials shortage, the long experience of the company and its staff means it is able to readily adapt to changing situations. It continues to have very strong relationships with three mainstream franchise partners and the Directors expect the company to be able to continue to trade without any hindrance within the facilities it has available.
With a good record of profitability in previous years during very difficult trading environment the company has every expectation of maintaining that situation during the foreseeable future and certainly for at least the next 12 months.
