STRATEGIC REPORT
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

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

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The company has recorded sales in excess of £51million and operating profits of £1.9million for the year 2024, which is pleasing in the current economic environment, as people continue to reprioritise their spending habits.

Moto GB is able to offer a range of new and used motorcycles from all the leading manufacturers and offer a wide range of services from finance, MOT and servicing, parts and accessories, along with delivery and collection options.

We continue to offer our discerning customers value for money and customer satisfaction and hopefully keep a strong position within our marketplace and continue to improve our website thus enabling us to give our potential customers a competitive price and strive to give a positive and informative overall sales experience.

We will always be fully committed to providing our customers with the best and ultimate motorcycling experience. We are appreciative and grateful for our loyal customers support and we hope to keep our standards high to give our customers the service they deserve.

We also continue to have good working relationships with our suppliers and we are adding to the number of make and models we sell, to give the public a more varied choice that may also help to accommodate their budget at a time when household costs continue to rise.

Results in 2025 have been positive, with a number of new brands to the UK boosting sales and profitability.

MOTO GB LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03989635)

STRATEGIC REPORT
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal financial risks and uncertainties associated with the company's ability to monitor and manage:

Cashflow
The company has certain transactions in foreign currencies but is not exposed to any material risks relating to exchange fluctuations. The company has a shared bank facility with fellow subsidiary companies operating within the agreed facility. The company's exposure to interest rate movements is not considered material and hence it is not believed to be necessary to hedge against rates.

Credit Risk
The company's principal financial asset is in stock. The credit risk is limited by an exposure to a number of major customers on whom either credit reports are obtained or whose annual accounts are regularly reviewed. Supplier terms are reviewed regularly, so as to take advantage of price and exchange rates, where appropriate.

Liquidity Risk
The cash facilities available to the company have been compared to their likely credit requirements over the next 12 months, from the date of signing these financial statements and are deemed to be adequate.

Price Risk
The company is exposed to a price risk arising on its bike purchases; we constantly monitor the markets, both at home and abroad, to ensure our buying and selling price structures are well managed and competitive.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
The directors consider, both individually and together, that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and the matters set out in s172(1)(a-f) of the Companies Act 2006) in the decisions taken in the year ended 31 December 2024.

Customer engagement and satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do and any decision made by the directors is made with full consideration of the impact on the company's customers.

The company has a small number of key supplier partners with which directors and senior management maintain close relationships on an ongoing basis through regular dialogue, formal meetings and conferences.

The directors seek to promote a culture of environmental sustainability within the business which primarily focuses on an energy efficient approach to the design and management of our warehouse and shops. This includes fitting out our shops with mechanical and electrical systems that comply with government energy saving schemes, central timing controls and installing LED energy saving lighting.

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS
Business relationships are discussed within the Strategic Report on page 3, in accordance with the provisions of s172(1)(c) of the Companies Act 2006.

STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING
The company is exempt from disclosing this information, being part of a group which prepares this
information on a consolidated basis.

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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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;
-state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the financial statements;
-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.

for the Year Ended 31 December 2024


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.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
MOTO GB LTD

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Moto GB Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the 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 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 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
MOTO GB LTD


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 four, 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
MOTO GB LTD


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 identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, focusing on those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on it's operations. Key laws and regulations that we identified included the UK Companies Act, tax legislation, employment legislation and Health and Safety regulations.

- we enquired of the directors and reviewed correspondence with HMRC for evidence of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We also reviewed controls the directors have in place to ensure compliance.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and

- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;

- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;

- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias.

- we reviewed financial statements disclosures and tested to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above;

- we enquired of the directors about actual and potential litigation and claims.

Due to inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

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
MOTO GB LTD


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.

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Moto GB Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

Significant judgements and estimates
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include:

(a) Stock provision
Stock provisions have been estimated by senior management where the anticipated net realisable value of stock items is lower than cost. Net realisable value has been determined by considering the stock items current and expected sales value, overall stock quantity and sales volume.

(b) Useful economic lives
The useful economic lives of fixed assets are assessed on an annual basis based on the latest available information. Management believe that the useful economic lives being used currently are still appropriate.

Turnover
Turnover represents the fair value of income received from the sale of new and used motor bikes for retail to the general public and wholesale to other companies, excluding discounts and value added tax.

Finance commission is received monthly based on the volume of bikes sold.

The company recognises revenue when the goods have been delivered and the title of goods has passed.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less depreciation and any impairment.

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, as follows:

Freehold property - 2% on cost
Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost
Motor vehicles - 20% on cost
Computer equipment - 20% on cost

Impairment of assets
At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and selling price after any provision for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. 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 equity.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

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.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives are recognised as a reduction to the expense recognised over the lease term on a straight line basis.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Financial instruments
Short term trade debtors and trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial assets and liabilities, including related party loans shall be measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate. Financial assets and liabilities that have no stated interest rate and are payable within one year shall be measured at the undiscounted amount due.
