Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The director presents his strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the company is the sale of specialist, high specification used cars.
Fair review of the business
The company's results show an increase in turnover, despite the warranties side of the business being removed. The company trades within a very competitive market and has looked at its strategy for buying stock and honed their target market for sales, targeting more at the higher end of the market than previously. The more expensive vehicles attract a smaller margin, hence the reduction in the percentage achieved. The company has moved to larger premises to hold stock and this is reflected in the value of stock held at the year end.
The company's balance sheet position has improved with shareholders' funds increasing to £5,533,606 from £5,361,447 in 2024.
The company's key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows:

Principal risks and uncertainties
The company's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, business loans, trade debtors and trade creditors. The purpose of these instruments is to finance the company's operations. The company's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks associated with increased rates of interest. The director plans carefully around the company's ability to fund borrowing in respect of the stock and has the full support of a finance house which provides flexible finance.

Phantom Motor Company Limited
Director's Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The director presents his report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Director's responsibilities
The director acknowledges his responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the director to prepare financial accounts for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director must not approve the financial accounts unless he is 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 accounts, the director is required to:
|
• |
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; |
|
• |
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
|
• |
state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial accounts; and |
|
• |
prepare the financial accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The director is 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 him to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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.
Information included in the Strategic Report
The information required by Schedule 7 of the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 has been included in the separate Strategic Report in accordance with Section 414C (11) of the Companies Act Regulations 2013.
Future developments
No significant change in the company's principal activity is expected. The Phantom Motor Company remains committed to providing high quality vehicles via exceptional customer care.
Director of the company
The director who held office during the year was as follows:
Disclosure of information to the auditors
The director has taken steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. The director confirms that there is no relevant information that he knows of and of which he knows the auditors are unaware.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Phantom Motor Company Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Phantom Motor Company Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows, 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 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 auditor 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 director's 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matter 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 Director's Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
|
• |
the Strategic Report and Director's Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Phantom Motor Company Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Phantom Motor Company Limited
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our 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 and the Director's Report.
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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
• | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of the director
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities, the director is 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 director determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the Companies Act 2006.
Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations as above. We reviewed financial statement disclosures and tested to supporting documentation.
We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud by making enquiries of management, identifying particular areas that were susceptible to misstatement as part of our audit discussion, including review of related party relationships and transactions and detailed analytical review.
We considered the risk of fraud through management override and in response we tested controls, journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness.
We evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Accounts for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
|
General information |
The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales.
The address of its registered office and principal place of business is:
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the
|
Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial accounts are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006'.
Basis of preparation
These financial accounts have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
Going concern
The financial accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Revenue recognition
Turnover represents the invoiced value of sales of goods, net of Value Added Tax. The income is recognised on shipment (collection or delivery) of goods at the point which ownership, risks and rewards of the goods transfers to the customer.
Warranty income represents commission paid on sale of warranties this year. Last year the warranty income was recognised over the extended warranty period of 3 years.
Commissions receivable represents amounts received on sale of goods in that period.
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences at the balance sheet date, at rates expected to apply when they crystallise based on current tax rates and law. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items of income or expenditure in tax computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be recovered.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives. The property improvements have been depreciated from the current year and over the remaining term of the leases. The method and rates are as follows:

Stocks
Stock is valued at the lower cost and net realisable value, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Net realisable value is based on selling price less anticipated costs to completion and selling costs.
Leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
