The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31st January 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The parent of the group Charles Trent Holdco 2 Limited has no material income or costs.

Review of Business: Charles Trent Limited (formerly Charles Trent Newco Limited) - Acquired on 30th January 2025

The last two years have been focused on investment and transformation rather than profitability. Significant investment has been made in the business which will show in years to come. Transitioning from a traditional vehicle recycler to a reverse production and technology-led business, one of only two of its kind globally, has been a costly but deliberate climb. What we now have is a unique, proven model built on hard-won IP, digitised workflows, and embedded systems ready for scale.

What We’ve Learned

This journey wasn’t just about changing what we do it changed how we think. We’ve engineered a complete operational reset, where process, technology, and data now drive value extraction from vehicles in a way the traditional model never could. The learning curve was steep: integrating automation, digitising workflows, and building a system capable of replicable efficiency and scale. But these lessons have now been learnt and efficiencies follow.

Why It Was Worth It

The investment both financial and human has laid the foundations for long-term advantage. We now operate with a data-first mindset, backed by systems that give us visibility, precision, and control. This transformation enables us to unlock value per vehicle at a rate that competitors, bound by legacy models, simply can’t reach.

Where We Stand

We’ve created more than a new operating model we’ve built a platform. One that’s not only commercially scalable but also extremely difficult to copy. With IP embedded across process, technology, and culture, we’ve raised the bar for what vehicle recovery and recycling can be. The next chapter is about acceleration and growth with profitability and positive cash flows now forecast for the next twelve months.

Year three - 2025: Scaling with purpose

2025 marks the beginning of the scale phase the point where investment meets return. After two intense years of transformation, development, and refinement, we now move into execution. This is the year we prove not only that the model works, but that it delivers exceptional commercial and operational value.

We’re no longer testing or learning we are deploying. The infrastructure is in place. The systems are live. The team is ready. With every vehicle processed, we’re generating cleaner data, greater margin, and stronger commercial insight.

Our focus for 2025 is simple but critical:

>Scale throughput with precision

>Expand margin through system optimisation

>Demonstrate model superiority against legacy operators

>Position the platform for regional and national replication

This is not just growth that is targeted, it’s controlled, intelligent scale. We now have a platform, a playbook, and the confidence to execute both.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 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 directors are 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 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 group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Cook & Partners Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

M J Trent - Director

30th July 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Charles Trent Holdco 2 Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31st January 2025 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, Company Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statements, 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 31st January 2025;

-	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 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 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 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 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 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-	the parent company 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 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 directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent 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:

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including Fraud.

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:

Auditors approach to assessing the risks of material misstatement due to irregularities, including fraud.

Our approach was as follows:

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity. The following laws and regulations are considered to be significant to the entity:

-Financial reporting Standard 102

-Companies Act 2006

-UK General Data Protection Regulation

-Environmental Agency

We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud as follows:

-Discussed the risk of material misstatement due to irregularities, including fraud with management at the planning stage to confirm that risks had been adequately identified and that the controls in place are sufficient for the size and nature of the business to reduce those risks to an acceptably low level.

-Undertook an initial analytical review of the financial statements to identify any potentially unusual or unexpected relationships or high risk audit areas.

-Completed a risk assessment checklist to aid in the identification of Risks for a company of this size and nature.

-We considered the risk of fraud through management override of controls, a common risk in a company of this size and nature, in response; we incorporated testing of manual journal entries into our audit approach and undertook a purely substantive approach to the audit with no reliance placed on controls.

-Accounting policies were reviewed at the planning stage to identify any subjective measurements or complex transactions where management would have the potential to show bias.

-Ensured all in the audit team are aware of the risks identified and particular areas that were susceptible to misstatement and during the audit planning meeting.

-Throughout the audit additional substantive testing was undertaken in areas where there was perceived to be a medium or high risk of misstatement.

-Audit testing was undertaken in a manner that was unpredictable in nature, selection and timing when compared to previous years work.

-The engagement Partners final review of the audit file and financial statements included a detailed review of all areas of medium or high risk identified at the planning stage of the audit.

Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations identified above:

-Financial reporting Standard 102, Companies Act 2006 and UK General Data Protection Regulation. The audit team all have a good understanding of the requirements under these laws and regulations common to most trading businesses and were alert throughout the audit to any potential instances of non-compliance.

-Further, at both the planning and completion stage of the audit enquiries where made of management any known instances of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations

-These representations were corroborated where possible through the review of board minutes. No contradictory evidence was noted.

We consider that the work detailed above has ensured that the likelihood of detection of irregularities including fraud is considered to be high both at management level and during our audit approach. It is however worth noting that there is an inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities and there is no guarantee that all irregularities have been identified.

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.

On 30th January 2025 the group acquired 100% of the share capital in Charles Trent Limited this was achieved via the issue of shares in a share for share exchange totalling £479,988.

5.	MAJOR NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS

Group

As the acquisition of Charles Trent Limited on 30th January 2025 was via a share for share exchange, and is therefore a non-cash transaction, the subsequent inclusion of the assets and liabilities of the company on consolidation is not reflected in the cash flow statement. The inclusion of the cash and overdraft balances is for reconciliation purposes.

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Charles Trent Holdco 2 Limited 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 General 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.

Acquisitions

On 30th January 2025 the company acquired 100% of the share capital in Charles Trent Limited (formerly Charles Trent Newco Limited) this was achieved via the issue shares in a share for share exchange totalling £479,988.

Going Concern Justification

Charles Trent Limited

After two years of intense transformation, the company has moved from a traditional vehicle recycler to a reverse production, technology-led platform. One of only two globally. It’s taken significant financial and operational investment to reach this position, but the outcome is a unique, proven model built on hard-won IP, digitized workflows, and embedded systems ready for scale.

The infrastructure is now in place after years of investment, the systems are operational, and efficiencies are being delivered. The company is no longer investing but is starting to see the profitability and cash flow improvements that come from this project. The commercial focus for the next twelve months is firmly on throughput, margin expansion, and proving the model’s superiority over legacy operators.

Due to the increased working capital requirements of these new systems the company will continue to receive the support of the directors, cash generated from the sale of non-core assets held within related parties, alongside other investment from the directors will provide circa £11m of cash, which gives sufficient headroom to support operations for twelve months from the date of signing this report.

Forecasts show a return to profitability and sustained positive cashflow over the next 12 months.

The directors review budgets, cash flow forecasts, and management accounts on a regular basis and act on the results accordingly to ensure that the company can continue to trade and meet its liabilities as they fall due.

On that basis, the directors believe it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and notes include the results of the company and its subsidiaries made up to 31st January 2025 on the following basis.

Charles Trent Limited has been consolidated from 30th January 2025 on an acquisition basis.

On 30th January 2025 the group acquired 100% of the share capital in Charles Trent Limited, as part of a group restructuring, this was achieved via the issue of shares in a share for share exchange totalling £479,988. Deemed to be the fair value of the company.

The net assets and liabilities of Charles Trent Limited at the acquisition date were (£409,121). Therefore Goodwill has been recognised on acquisition of £889,109 which will be amortised over 10 years.

All companies are registered in the United Kingdom

Goodwill

Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2025, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of five years.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Long leasehold

-

5% on cost

Plant and machinery

-

15% on cost

Motor vehicles

-

20% on cost

Computer equipment

-

20% on cost

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Stock of parts from the breaking of vehicles are included at selling price less an estimated profit margin in line with FRS 102 Section 13.16 Inventories.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below:

Stock Valuation

The valuation of parts stock is considered a key source of estimation uncertainty.

Salvage vehicle stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after due regards for obsolete and slow moving stock. Net realisable value is based on selling price.

Stock of parts from the breaking of vehicles are included at selling price less an estimated profit margin in line with FRS 102 Section 13.16 Inventories.

The two key areas of estimation include:

>Estimated selling price and margin

>Obsolete and slow moving stock

Selling price and margin

Part valuation is undertaken by suitably qualified engineers and reviewed on a regular basis to confirm that estimated selling prices are at a market rate. Estimate margin is monitored regularly and adjusted where efficiencies are gained through technological advancement.

Obsolete and slow moving stock

Data insights to the purchasing, inventorying, and dismantling of parts have been developed to ensure that there is suitable demand for the stock that is going to be removed from the vehicle.

Various software solutions have been developed to do this which uses live market demand and pricing data to calculate the following:

> a maximum bid price when purchasing a vehicle to ensure that the price paid takes into account the value of parts where there is demand for them

>only parts that have been specified are removed from the vehicle.

With these tools and the associated data analysis, the need for an arbitrary obsolete stock provision based on age alone is now considered unnecessary.

A detailed review of all stock items is undertaken at the year end and any stock items categorized as slow moving are provided for where demand for the part appears to have diminished on review of market data.
