The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 January 2025.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The company's principle activity is selling tyres; we sell to the public and local businesses through nineteen fast-fit centres that trade as Elite Garages. We wholesale tyres to the motor trade across southern England as EG Wholesale.

In addition we operate nine petrol stations in West Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Cornwall and a supermarket which trades as Morrisons Local in Shaftesbury.

FAIR REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS

We consider the key financial performance indicators are those that communicate the financial performance and strength of the group as a whole being turnover and gross margin. The business monitors its stock levels, cash reserves and its debtor, creditor KPI's.

The products that we deal in are closely related to the price of oil and the exchange rate of the dollar, these factors along with interest rates and the effect of our competitors are the major risks and uncertainties we face.

The volume of fuel that we sold this year was down 3.7% against last year. Margin remained consistent at 12.2% vs 12.3% last year. Shop sales decreased 4.9% year-on-year. Gross margin increased to 29.5% from 28.9%.

The tyre business turnover increased by some 26% in the year, Gross margin decreased by 1% year on year. Labour continued to increase and was 21.8% higher than last year, part of the increase can be attributed to additional sites being bought on throughout the year.

Our total turnover for the year increased to £82m (2024 - £74.0m) an increase of 7.9% and our gross profit increased to £11.2m (2024 - £9.8m) a rise of 14%.

The group's policy is to consult and discuss with employees matters likely to affect employees interest.

Information about matters of concern to employees is given via information emails and bulletins and reports which seek to achieve a common awareness on the part of all employees of the financial ,economic and environmental factors affecting the company performance.

Like all businesses we are continually reviewing our impact on the environment and seek advice from several environmental consultants to improve our environmental impact.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT

This section serves as our S172 statement and should be read in conjunction with the whole Strategic Report. S172 Companies Act 2006 requires directors to take into consideration the interests of stakeholders in their decision making. The directors continue to have regard to the interests of the company's employees and other stakeholders including the impact of its activities on the community, the environment and the company's reputation when making decisions. The directors consider that acting in good faith and fairly between stakeholders is most likely to promote the success of the company. Our principal stakeholders are engaged with on a regular basis.

DISABLED EMPLOYEES

The company gives full consideration to applications for employment from disabled persons where the requirements of the job can be adequately fulfilled by a handicapped or disabled person. Where existing employees become disabled, it is the company's policy wherever practicable to provide continuing employment under normal terms and conditions and to provide training, career development and promotion to disabled employees wherever appropriate.

ENGAGEMENT WITH SUPPLIERS, CUSTOMERS AND OTHERS

The directors regularly engage with all stakeholders including customers, suppliers and other business partners. This enables the directors to enhance market focus, improve decision making and promote the long-term success of the company more effectively, and includes:

- regular engagement with major customers;

- regular meetings with major suppliers to ensure we are supporting their efforts to bring products to market at fair prices, with rigorous quality control and high levels of availability;

- regular contact with our bankers and professional advisers to discuss our strategy and performance;

- regular reviews with employees of their role in the business and how it contributes to the overall business performance.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The risks and uncertainties in our business are affected by international exchange rates, commodity prices, Oil prices, domestic and foreign inflation and shipping costs. The business is subject to changing technological advances in the sale of Petrol and Diesel to the growth of electric vehicles. Changes in the level of competition from other tyre sellers and petrol retailers will also have a bearing.

OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The company does not actively use financial instruments as part of its financial risk management. The company's policy is to finance working capital through the use of loan advances. The company is exposed to the usual credit and cash flow risk associated with selling on credit. The Directors do not consider any other risks attaching to the use of financial instruments to be material to an assessment of the company's financial position or results for the year

PRICE RISK, CREDIT RISK, LIQUIDITY RISK AND CASH FLOW RISK

The business' principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade debtors, trade creditors and loans to the business. The main purpose of the instruments is to finance the business' operations.

In respect of bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between the continuity of funding and flexibility by management of credit facilities.

Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful debtors.

It is the company's policy to ensure settlement of supplier invoices in accordance with the stated terms. The business manages the liquidity risk by ensuring that there are sufficient funds available for operations.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Expansion of the business will continue to be a key focus across all revenue streams.

POSITION OF THE COMPANY AT YEAR END

The results for the year and the financial position at the year end were considered satisfactory by the directors who expect continued growth in the foreseeable future.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

R J Whittemore - Director

STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING

Environmental Matters and Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)

The company takes environmental matters seriously and continues to improve its impact on the local and wider environment.

From 1 August 2019 we are required to report under new SECVR regulations which provides increased transparency on our energy efficiency and emissions as a business.

Reporting methodology

This report (including the Scope 1, 2 and 3 consumption and CO2e emissions data) has been developed and calculated using the GHG Protocol - A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (World Resources Institute and World Business Council for Sustainable Development, 2004); Greenhouse Gas Protocol - Scope 2 Guidance (World Resources Institute, 2015); ISO 14064-1 and ISO 14064-2 (ISO, 2018; ISO, 2019); Environmental Reporting Guidelines: Including Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting Guidance (HM Government, 2019).

Government Emissions Factor Database 2024 version 1.1 has been used, utilising the published kWh gross calorific value (CV) and kgCO2e emissions factors relevant for the reporting period 01/02/2024 - 31/01/2025.

All estimations equated to 2.17% of reported consumption. These partial-year estimations were applied to 3 electricity supplies and 2 gas supplies.

2025 Scope 3 transportation has been estimated based on figures provided for 2024.

Market-based emissions have been used by applying supplier specific emissions factors to the associated supplied energy (0.00 tCO2 for Bryt Energy and 0.00042 tCO2 for Drax). In addition, invoices from EDF were supplied with REGO certification, stating 0.00 tCO2

.

S&M Tyres Limited generates solar energy onsite through solar arrays installed during 2024. The arrays have generated 17,777 kWh of renewable electricity in addition to the total consumed grid-supplied electricity.

An intensity metric has been calculated using total tCO2e figures and the selected performance indicator agreed with S&M Tyres Limited for the relevant report period: Total turnover FY2025: £81.99m (FY2024: £74.00m)

SECR Highlights

Year-on-year changes

- Electricity emissions have increased year on year, due to the acquisition of two new branches and one new warehouse.

- Natural gas and other fuel emissions have decreased against 2024, due to efforts made to mitigate heat loss thereby reducing requirement to heat premises.

- Transport emissions has increased due to the capacity of the new warehouse enabling space for 20+ vans and additional HGVs.

Energy Saving Projects: Highlights

- Replacement of current fleet.

- Site meter upgrades.

- Lighting upgrades.

- Heat loss.

Energy Efficiency Narrative

S and M is committed to year-on-year improvements in its operational energy efficiency. A register of energy efficiency measures has been compiled, with a view to implementing these measures in the next five years.

Measures Undertaken In 2025

Replacement of current fleet

S and M have been undertaking a gradual upgrade of their fleet vehicles, replacing old or inefficient vehicles with more efficient models.

Site meter upgrades

Where possible, S and M are upgrading electricity and gas meters on site to allow better granularity of data.

Lighting upgrade

S and M have undertaken a replacement programme for lighting, replacing existing light bulbs with energy-efficient LED alternatives as needed, based on bulb failure or scheduled maintenance, to improve energy consumption and reduce long term costs.

Heat loss

Measures have been implemented to reduce heat loss wherever feasible across the portfolio, such as ensuring that roller shutters are kept closed during non-operational hours or adverse weather conditions, in order to maintain internal temperature stability and improve energy efficiency.

Measures To Be Addressed In 2026

Replacement of current fleet

S and M have been progressively upgrading their fleet by phasing out older or less efficient vehicles and replacing them with newer, more energy-efficient models. This initiative is part of a long-term sustainability strategy and will continue into the next year to further reduce emissions and operational costs.

Lighting upgrade

The replacement of existing light bulbs with energy-efficient LED alternatives - carried out as needed during bulb failure or scheduled maintenance - has been an effective measure to improve emissions and reduce long-term costs. This initiative will continue into the next year as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency.

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT

Details of items required under Schedule 7 to the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Report Regulations) 2008 are provided in the Strategic Report on pages 2 and 3.

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;

-	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.

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, GBJ Financial Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

R J Whittemore - Director

23 October 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of S and M Tyres Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 January 2025 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 January 2025 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.

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 ten, 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:

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. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK).

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We enquired of management concerning the Company's policies and procedures relating to:

- the identification, evaluation and compliance with laws and regulations;

- the detection and response to the risks of fraud; and

- the establishment of internal controls to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and

regulations.

The Company is subject to many laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements. We identified the following laws and regulations as the most likely to have a material effect if non-compliance were to occur; United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, the Companies Act 2006, tax legislation, anti-bribery legislation, GDPR and employment law.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by evaluating management's incentives and opportunities for manipulation of the financial statements. This included the evaluation of the risk of management override of controls. We determined that the principal risks were in relation to:

- journal entries that increased revenues or that reclassified costs from the income statement to the balance

sheet

- stock existence, completeness and valuation

- potential management bias in determining accounting estimates

- transactions with related parties.

It is the audit partner's assessment that the audit team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations.

We obtained an understanding of the Company's operations, including the nature of its revenue sources, products and services and of its objectives and strategies to understand the classes of transactions, account balances, expected financial statement disclosures and business risks that may result in risks of material misstatement. We also considered the effectiveness of the Company's control environment to identify and prevent any irregularities and 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.

The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements:

- Determine whether leases entered into by the company as a lessor are operating or finance leases.

These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have

been transferred from the lessor to the lessee on a lease by lease basis.

- Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's tangible assets. Factors

taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected

future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating

unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit.

Other key sources of estimation uncertainty:

- Trade debtors (see note 15)

Determine the recoverability of trade receivables via regular review in the light of the available

economic information specific to each receivable with specific provisions recognised for balances

considered to be irrecoverable.

Turnover and revenue recognition

Turnover represents amounts receivable for the sale of motor vehicle parts, accessories, forecourt goods and the repair of motor vehicles, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Revenue is recognised as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation and the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the company's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made.

Amortisation

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:

Amortisation method and rate - 100% in year of acquisition

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.

Short leasehold

-

in accordance with the property

Plant and machinery

-

25% on reducing balance

Motor vehicles

-

25% on reducing balance

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The need for any fixed asset impairment write-down is assessed by comparison of the carrying value of the assets against the recoverable amount.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for fuel stock. Tyre stock is valued using the average cost method.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount being the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell, the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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.
