The directors present their strategic report on the Company together with the audited financial statements for the period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The Company is an Investment Holding company owned by Universal Tyre Company (Deptford) Limited, which itself is a subsidiary of Halfords Group PLC.

The Company made a profit of £nil (2024: £6,480 loss) in the year and the results have been transferred to reserves. The Company's net liabilities position has not changed within the year. No dividend has been declared for the year (period to 31 March 2024: £nil).

The Company's immediate holding company is The Universal Tyre Company (Deptford) Limited. The Company's ultimate parent and controlling party is Halfords Group PLC, incorporated and registered in England and Wales, which is the parent undertaking of the smallest and largest group to consolidate these financial statements. Further details on the performance of the Group can be found in the Chairman's Statement, Strategic Report and Chief Financial Officer's Report in the Group's Annual Report, which does not form part of this report. An updated view of the detailed KPIs are discussed and documented within the Strategic Report of the Annual Report and Accounts of Halfords Group PLC.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
From the perspective of the Company, the principal risks and uncertainties are integrated within the principal risks of the Group and are not managed separately. Accordingly, the principal risks and uncertainties of Halfords Group plc, which include those of the Company, are discussed on page 60-68 of the Group's Annual Report and Accounts for the period ended 28 March 2025, which does not form part of this report.

A summary of the principal risks affecting the Group are listed below:
• Technology transformation and capability and capacity
• Customer proposition and relevance
• Macroeconomic volatility
• Regulatory and compliance
• Cyber security
• Culture, colleague engagement and skills
• Disruption to end-to-end supply chain
• Health and safety

Key performance indicators

The directors believe that analysis using key performance indicators for the Company is not necessary or appropriate for an understanding of the performance or position of the Company.


FIT4FLEET HOLDINGS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 12828365)

STRATEGIC REPORT
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
This section describes how the Directors have had regard to the matters set out in section 172(1)(a) to (f) Companies Act 2016 (the "Act"), in exercising their duty to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole.

Directors are required to have regard, amongst other matters, to the interests of wider stakeholders, as well as:
• the likely long-term consequences of any decision they make;
• the interests of the Company's colleagues;
• the need to foster the Company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;
• the impact of the Company's operations on the community and the environment;
• the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
• the need to act fairly, as between members of the Company.

The Company is an intermediate holding company within Halfords Group plc ("Group"), and therefore key decisions which affect the Group, this Company and stakeholders are principally made by the Board of the ultimate parent company, Halfords Group plc. Further details of how the Board of Halfords Group plc have had regard to s172(1) (a) to (f) in the current financial year can be found in those consolidated financial statements.

FIT4FLEET HOLDINGS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 12828365)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025


The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

DIVIDENDS
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 March 2025.

EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements.

DIRECTORS
J Hartley has held office during the whole of the period from 1 April 2024 to the date of this report.

Other changes in directors holding office are as follows:

H B Birch was appointed as a director after 31 March 2025 but prior to the date of this report.

G Stapleton ceased to be a director after 31 March 2025 but prior to the date of this report.

GOING CONCERN
In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2025, the Directors are required to consider whether the Company can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis, having undertaken an assessment of the financial forecasts for the 12-month period from the date of approval of these financial statements.

The Company has net liabilities of £7,446 (2024: £7,446). The Company participates in the Group's centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and fellow subsidiaries. The going concern assessment for the Company is therefore linked to that of the Group.
Management has prepared this assessment of Going Concern, which included reviewing financial forecasts and projections for the relevant period. Within these financial projections, which included among other items, the impact of labour cost increases resulting from the UK government's Autumn Budget, management reviewed profit and net cash flow and tested the financial covenants associated with groups committed facility during the assessment period. No issues were found.

As a result of the Group's assessment, the Directors of the Company have concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the Going Concern basis. Further details of these reviews can be found on page 68 - 70 of the Going Concern and Viability Statements in the Group's Annual Report for the period ended 28 March 2025, which does not form part of this report. This analysis has then been extended to cover the period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

Based on the analysis completed, the Group has adequate bank facilities available and the Directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company will be able to continue in operation and meet their liabilities as they fall due, retain sufficient available cash and not breach any covenants under any drawn facilities for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. They do not consider there to be a material uncertainty relating to the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


FIT4FLEET HOLDINGS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 12828365)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

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 are deemed to have been re-appointed in accordance with section 487 of the Companies Act 2006.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





J Hartley - Director


9 December 2025

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
FIT4FLEET HOLDINGS LIMITED


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Fit4fleet Holdings Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of income and retained earnings, Statement of financial position 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 March 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 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
FIT4FLEET HOLDINGS LIMITED


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 five, 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
FIT4FLEET HOLDINGS LIMITED


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 identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the design of the company remuneration policies, key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets;
results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the company documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance;
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.

Based on this approach, we were able to assess the company risks and ensure the risks were considered throughout all areas of audit testing. The audit team was professionally sceptical throughout the audit and remained alert for inaccurate or misleading information.

Audit response to risks identified

As a result of performing the above, we did not identify any key audit matters related to the potential risk of
fraud or irregularities. Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

• reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
• enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
• performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
• obtaining an understanding of provisions and held discussions with management to understand the basis of recognition or non-recognition of tax provisions; and
• in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.


REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
FIT4FLEET HOLDINGS LIMITED

Audit testing was completed on a targeted sample basis based on our assessment of risk and materiality. Due to the 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Report of the auditors to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Report of the auditors. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of 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.

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The Company is exempt by virtue of s400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to prepare group financial statements. These financial statements present information about the Company as an individual undertaking and not about its Group.

The Company's ultimate parent undertaking, Halfords Group plc, includes the Company in its consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of Halfords Group plc are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, are available to the public and may be obtained from Icknield Street Drive, Washford West, Redditch, Worcestershire, B98 0DE.

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 the Republic of Ireland":

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.

Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity.

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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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.

Going concern
The going concern basis is considered appropriate based on the assessment made by the Directors in the Directors' Report. The Company participates in the Group's centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and fellow subsidiaries. The going concern assessment for the Company is therefore linked to that of the Group.

In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements for the Company for the period ended 31 March 2025, the Directors are required to consider whether the Company can continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis, having considered the going concern assessment undertaken by the Group, which included the Company.

As a result of the Group's assessment, the Directors of the Company have concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the Going Concern basis. Further details of these reviews can be found on page 68 - 70 of the Going Concern and Viability Statements in the Group's Annual Report for the period ended 28 March 2025, which does not form part of this report. This analysis has then been extended to cover the period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

The Company has net liabilities of £7,446 (2024: £7,446). Based on the analysis completed, the Group has adequate bank facilities available and the Directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company will be able to continue in operation and meet their liabilities as they fall due, retain sufficient available cash and not breach any covenants under any drawn facilities for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. They do not consider there to be a material uncertainty relating to the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
