STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

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

Review of the business
 
The Company is a commercial vehicle dealer with both the Volvo and Isuzu franchises. It operates in the South-East of England, through a network of 6 depots. The Company sells new and used commercial vehicles, sells manufacturer and all make parts for commercial vehicles and offers maintenance and repair services.

Results, performance & KPI's
 
The results of the Company, as set out in the attached financial statements, show a turnover of £125m (2023 £122.2m) and a profit on ordinary activities before tax of £5.3m (2023 £4.1m). Shareholder funds of the Company stand at £11.5m (2023 £11.0m).
Performance during 2024 improved on 2023, and the Company has produced very satisfactory results.
Within our region the heavy truck market (over 16T) remained very similar to 2023 levels. Invoiced sales reduced slightly compared to 2023 but registrations in the year were up and the Company’s market share increased from 17.4% in 2023 to 21.0% in 2024, Volvo’s national market share was 18.2% for 2024 (2023 16.1%). Even with lower volumes, new vehicle sales increased from £77.6m in 2023 to £77.9m in 2024. 
Year-end stock reduced from £23.1m in 2023 to £17.0m in 2024 due to a reduction in new vehicle stock at year end, parts stock remained similar to 2023 levels.
 
Although sales increased, profits from core aftermarket activities fell slightly compared to 2023 with overheads increasing faster than gross margins. Labour hours reduced slightly compared to 2023, whereas sales increased by 7% due to improvements in recovery rates. Overall parts sales increased by 5% compared to 2023 reflecting price increases, with volumes similar to 2023 levels. 
Total sales increased by 2.3% compared to 2023 with the overall gross margin percentage very similar and a small increase in the overall gross profit. Total overheads reduced by £1m compared to 2023, which added to the increase in gross margin caused the Company’s profit on ordinary activities to increase from £4.1m in 2023 to £5.3m in 2024.

Over the past couple of years’ the Company has carried out an extensive refurbishment program to all of its locations in order to further enhance the customer experience and is proud to have been awarded Volvo’s “Dealer of the Year” for 2024. 

Business Environment
 
The UK commercial vehicle market is mature and highly competitive with other manufacturers offering similar products and services. The total market is cyclical in nature and tends to follow movements in GDP, so new vehicle sales volumes can vary markedly from one year to the next.

Strategy
 
The Company’s success is dependent on retaining and increasing the vehicle parc within its area of operation, so that it can generate parts and labour sales. This is achieved through developing strong relationships with its customer base and by providing exceptional customer service which differentiates the Company from its competitors.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Directors' statement of compliance with duty to promote the success of the Company
 
The Board of Directors, in line with their duties under S172 of the Companies Act 2006, act in a way they consider would most likely promote the success of the business for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in so doing have regard to a range of matters when making decisions for the long term. Important decisions and matters of strategic importance to the Company are made in light of S172 considerations. 
Through open dialogue with key stakeholders we have developed an understanding of their needs. As part of the decision-making process the Board consider the impact of decisions on relevant stakeholders, whilst having regard to more boarder factors such as the impact on the community, the environment and likely long-term consequences. 
Our plans are designed to be of long-term benefit to the company by providing our customers with products and services which fit their needs and provide added value at the right price.
Company representatives meet with our key suppliers regularly and at all levels, to ensure performance is on track to deliver our business objectives. 
Employees are crucial to the success of the business and we aim to be a responsible and attractive employer, who provides excellent pay and benefits together with the opportunity for career progression.
Our intention is to behave responsibly and ensure that management operate the business responsibly, with high standards of conduct and good governance, and in so doing will contribute to the long-term success of the business.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is reliant on its manufacturer partners to develop and market competitive products, which provide a sound commercial argument for our customers. We believe that with both the Volvo and Isuzu brands, we are partnered with industry leading manufacturers who are technologically advanced, environmentally aware and who offer excellent whole life costs.
The commercial vehicle market can be seen as a bell-weather for the UK economy and company profitability could be adversely affected by worsening economic conditions. A slowing economy could dampen business confidence, reduce investment in new vehicles and lead to a reduction in aftermarket sales.
Any credit risk is mitigated by having a diverse customer base, operating over a wide range of industry sectors and also by having strong credit control processes in place.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Going Concern
The company prepares detailed budgets and cash flow forecasts together with rolling 5 year projections. The Company is expected to generate positive cash flows for the foreseeable future even if higher sales  increase working capital requirements. 
The company has undertaken stress testing on various sales assumptions. Based on current trading the decline in sales needed for the company to extinguish its cash reserves within the next 12 months was not deemed plausible.  Working capital requirements are funded by retained earnings and forecasts show that there is sufficient liquidity for the business to continue in operation.
 
The directors therefore have the reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
 
Future Developments
The Company will continue to focus on growing the vehicle parc within our region, with the aim of securing any new business on long term contracts. We will also look to continually refresh and improve our aftermarket offering to increase the levels of customer service. 


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MC TRUCK & BUS LIMITED

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of MC Truck & Bus Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Statement of Financial Position and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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 Company's affairs as at 31 December 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 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 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.


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.

Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and  our Auditors' 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.


Opinion 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 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.


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 Directors' Report.


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, 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 Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, 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 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MC TRUCK & BUS LIMITED (CONTINUED)

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:

We obtained a general understanding of the Company’s legal and regulatory framework through enquiry of
management concerning their understanding of relevant laws and regulations, the entity’s policies and
procedures regarding compliance, and how they identify, evaluate and account for litigation claims. We also
drew on our existing understanding of the Company’s industry and regulation.

We understand that the Company complies with the framework through:
•     Outsourcing accounts preparation and tax compliance to external experts.

In the context of the audit, we considered those laws and regulations which determine the form and content of
the financial statements, which are central to the Company’s ability to conduct its business, and/or where there
is a risk that failure to comply could result in material penalties. We identified the following laws and regulations as being of significance in the context of the Company:
•     The Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102 for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements.

The senior statutory auditor led a discussion with senior members of the engagement team regarding the
susceptibility of the entity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. The areas identified in this discussion were:
Revenue may be deferred inappropriately to manipulate financial results. 
Manipulation of the financial statements, especially revenue, via fraudulent journal entries.
Revenue and cost of sales may be misstated due to inaccurate cut-off at year-end.

These areas were communicated to the other members of the engagement team not present at the discussion.
The procedures we carried out to gain evidence in the above areas included:
Challenging management regarding the assumptions and judgements used in the key accounting estimates and revenue recognition policy, including comparison to post year-end data as appropriate.
Completeness testing on revenue to verify that all sales in the year were correctly recorded.
Testing of cut-off of purchase and sales invoices to ensure recognised in the correct accounting period.
Testing journal entries, focusing particularly on postings to unexpected or unusual accounts and those posted at unusual times. 
Conducting physical inventory counts and reconciling them with the inventory records to ensure accuracy.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.


General information

MC Truck & Bus Limited (the Company) is a private company limited by shares domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales.
The address of its registered office and its place of business is Beddow Way, Forstal Road, Aylesford, Maidstone, Kent, ME20 7BT.
The principal activities of the Company continue to be the sale of commercial vehicles, the servicing and repair of commercial vehicles and the sale of spare parts.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

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 (see note 3).

Monetary amounts in these financial statements are stated in pounds sterling and are rounded to
the nearest whole £1, except where otherwise stated.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

  
2.2

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
 
The requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
The requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
The requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
The requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A.

This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of M C Group Limited and MCG (Holdings) Limited as at 31 December 2024 and these financial statements may be obtained from Companies House.

MC TRUCK & BUS LIMITED
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Going concern

The Company prepares detailed budgets and cash flow forecasts together with rolling 5 year projections. The Company is expected to generate positive cash flows for the foreseeable future even though higher sales will increase working capital requirements. 
The Company has undertaken stress testing on various sales assumptions. Based on current trading the decline in sales needed for the Company to extinguish its cash reserves within the next 12 months was not deemed plausible.  Working capital requirements are funded by retained earnings and forecasts show that there is sufficient liquidity for the business to continue in operation.
 
The directors therefore have the reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

 
2.4

Revenue

Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover 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 must also be met before turnover is recognised:
Sale of Vehicles
Revenue from the sale of trucks is recognised at the point in time when control of the goods has transferred to the customer. This is deemed to occur upon delivery of the truck to the customer, which is when the customer obtains legal title and physical possession, and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred. 
Sale of Parts
Revenue from the sale of parts is recognised upon delivery to the customer. Delivery is considered the point at which the customer takes possession of the parts and the company has no further performance obligations. This reflects the transfer of control and completion of the earnings process.
Workshop Sales
Revenue from workshop services is recognised upon completion of the work. This is the point at which the service has been fully performed, and the customer has accepted the outcome. Where workshop services span multiple reporting periods, revenue is recognised only when the work is complete and the customer is invoiced.

 
2.5

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.

Page 14

MC TRUCK & BUS LIMITED
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.5
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Property improvements
-
Over the remaining period of the lease
Plant and machinery
-
10% to 25% on cost
Motor vehicles
-
10% to 30% on cost
Fixtures and fittings
-
14.2% to 25% on cost

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 in profit or loss.

 
2.6

Valuation of investments

Investments in unlisted Company shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each reporting date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment.

 
2.7

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include parts and labour costs.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.

 
2.8

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

 
2.9

 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.10

 Financial instruments

The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

 
2.11

 Creditors

Short-term 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.

 
2.12

 Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.13

 Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

 
2.14

 Operating leases: the Company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.15

 Leased assets: the Company as lessee

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

 
2.16

 Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

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

 
2.17

 Interest income

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings using the effective interest method.

  
2.18

 Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the year in which they are incurred.

Page 17

MC TRUCK & BUS LIMITED
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.19

 Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings 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 Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.


3.


Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
There are no material accounting estimates and assumptions.

Turnover

An analysis of turnover by class of business is as follows:


2024
2023 as restated
£
£

Sales of trucks
78,354,085
78,294,840

Sales of servicing and repairs
20,084,145
18,692,532

Sales of parts
26,592,504
25,280,470

125,030,734
122,267,842


The accounting policy for the recognition of turnover did not previously recognise volume bonuses from manufacturers; previously the income was credited against cost of sales.  This has been corrected to reflect that the bonuses are part of turnover.  Therefore, comparative information is restated to increase turnover and cost of sales for bonuses received of £969,772.  The restatement is presentational in nature, and retained earnings are unaffected by the restatement.
