The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The principal activity of R&J Strang Tyre Services Limited is to provide a complete tyre management service to its customers, including inspections, repairs and fitment of tyres to ensure minimal operational disruption and maximum road safety for their vehicles.

The company's directors are happy with the company's financial performance for the year to 31 December 2024. The company, together with the majority of trading companies, has experienced challenging economic conditions in its industry in recent years. This has had an impact on both turnover and margin achieved.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The current year reflects an decrease in turnover from £24,604,347 to £23,443,005, a decrease of 4.7%. There was limited impact on gross margin, however, with it only dropping by 0.08%. The directors are of the view that this reflects a sign of the challenging economic conditions currently being faced but the company is showing positive signs that the measures in place to improve profitability are being reflected in the financial results.

The directors are of the view that the company is in a position to grow the business and are confident of the company's future financial performance. Operating loss increased from £1,912,460 to £1,980,409. After taxation, £1,621,378 was deducted from the retained reserves.

The company continues to rely on the support of its parent company through the amounts due to group undertakings. The company's intention would be to reach a breakeven point and generate enough income and profit, to reduce reliance on group support.

Stock levels remain at an optimum level of efficiency and the company is continuing to focus on the development of business with appropriate customers in its sector.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

As with many businesses, the current economic climate continues to present risks and uncertainties and indeed we have found that the risk of some of our customers being unable to settle their accounts has increased. We also are mindful in the industry in which we operate that the fluctuating cost of raw materials such as oil and natural rubber may cause uncertainty in the stability of the purchase price of our stock.

These risks and uncertainties are kept in mind when considering future growth plans as such plans carry uncertainty and risk as growth will be dependent on the company securing new clients and contracts as well as the monetary investment required. The directors are confident that the company, being a part of the wider Continental Group, is well placed financially to be able to support any future growth plans.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

N Choudhury - Director

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

-	select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-	make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

-	prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, O'Haras Accountants Limited (Statutory Auditor), will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

N Choudhury - Director

18 September 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of R & J Strang Tyre Services Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' (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 December 2024 and of its loss for the year then ended;

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

-	have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

-	the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

-	the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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 Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

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

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

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

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

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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 gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the motor industry in which it operates. We made enquiries of management as to whether there were any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud, and reviewed available board minutes for any indication of such matters.

We gained an understanding of management's internal controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities in their day-to-day operations.

We considered the company’s revenue recognition policy and performed substantive tests to confirm the completeness of revenue reported.

We considered laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, UK GAAP, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement components.Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and enquiries of relevant third parties.

We considered how fraud might occur in this company and designed our tests accordingly.

We performed audit work to address the risk of management override of internal controls, including reviewing journals, reviewing for large or unusual items and transactions out with the normal course of business, and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

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.

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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going Concern

The directors have reviewed their projections and feel that the company has sufficient cash reserves, and the support of the larger group of which it is part, to enable it to trade through the current climate.

The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework":

•

the requirements of paragraph 24(6) of IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources;

•

the requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures;

•

the requirements of paragraphs 91 to 99 of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement;

•

-

paragraphs 53(a), (h) and (j) of IFRS 16;

•

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

There are no significant judgements or estimates used in the preparation of these accounts.

Turnover

Revenue represents the fair value of consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT, and other sales-related taxes.

The company recognises revenue from the sale and fitting of tyres, wheel alignments, puncture repairs, and related maintenance services when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer.

Tyre sales and fitting services - Revenue is recognised at the point the tyres are fitted and the service is complete, as this is when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Maintenance and repair services - Revenue is recognised upon completion of the service, typically on the same day, as the customer obtains control of the service at that time.

Goods sold without fitting - Revenue is recognised when the goods are delivered to and accepted by the customer.

Where contracts include multiple performance obligations (e.g. sale of tyres with an included maintenance package), the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices, and revenue is recognised when each obligation is satisfied.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Leasehold prop

-

at varying rates on cost

Improvements to property

-

Plant and machinery

-

10% on cost

Fixtures and fittings

-

10% on cost

Motor vehicles

-

20% on cost

Computer equipment

-

25% on cost

Impairment of fixed assets

At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost, except for investments in nonconvertible preference and non-puttable ordinary shares which are measured at fair value, with changes recognised in profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at cost and thereafter at fair value with changes recognised in profit or loss.

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash balances. Bank overdrafts that are payable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only of the cash flow statement.

Creditors

Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Inventories

Inventories and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items

Cost is calculated using average costing method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing inventories to their present location and condition.

Taxation

Current taxes are based on the results shown in the financial statements and are calculated according to local tax rules, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the company's accounts. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more (or less) tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on current tax rates and laws.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Leases

Leases are recognised as finance leases. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments which have not yet been made and subsequently measured under the amortised cost method. The initial cost of the right-of-use asset comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, lease payments made prior to the lease commencement date, initial direct costs and the estimated costs of removing or dismantling the underlying asset per the conditions of the contract.

Where ownership of the right-of-use asset transfers to the lessee at the end of the lease term, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. If ownership of the right-of-use asset does not transfer to the lessee at the end of the lease term, depreciation is charged over the shorter of the useful life of the right-of-use asset and the lease term.

Employee benefit costs

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate.

Short-term employee benefits, including holiday pay, are recognised as an expense over the period in which the employees provide services. A liability is recognised for holiday pay accrued at the reporting date, measured at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid.
