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

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The principle activity of the Company was that of service stations providing fuel and other goods. The principle market is the UK.

Trading conditions remained competitive, with ongoing pressure from fuel price volatility and evolving consumer preferences. Management focused on maintaining forecourt standards, rationalising ranges by site, and expanding ancillary services to support non-fuel margin.

RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE

The results for the period, as set out on pages 13-16 show a profit before tax of £1,305,858 (1 month for 2024: £132,563), higher than managements original expectations. Continued investment in new sites, people, and processes is continuing to deliver tangible benefits, reaffirming that decisions taken in prior years were sound. Despite operating in a challenging economic environment, the company remains focused on profitable growth and is confident that this strategy will support an upward trend in net profitability over the next three years.

This was another year of progress for the business. Key appointments have settled and are making positive contributions, while core staff have been retained. Additional services are generating meaningful margin improvements. Sites continue to be refurbished to enhance the customer experience, and forecourt teams are undergoing training to strengthen customer engagement.

During the period the growth decreased with sales down 4% on the previous period, more importantly, operating profit has fallen by percentage at 0.74%. The Directors will continue to manage growth to continue to improve profitability both by the addition of further sites and more efficient and effective use of resources.

As at 31 March 2025 the Shareholders' Funds totalled £1,132,407 (Mar 2024: £247,447).

TRADING ENVIRONMENT

Despite strong trading during 2024/25 the Directors remain cautious. The UK market for motor fuels and convenience store items is highly competitive. The Directors are continuously monitoring the market and environment to identify further opportunities and are optimistic about the future growth in the short to medium term.

It is the overall fuel market which drives sales. The move to cleaner energy sources and the ever increasing fuel costs represent the greatest risk to the company. The Directors and management continuously monitor performance on a weekly basis to enable a proactive approach to managing the risks the Company faces.

STRATEGY

The company strategy remains that of identifying petrol stations that management feels are undervalued, revamping existing sites to improve shoppers store experience and optimising the goods that are sold at each site based on the needs of local residents. Growth will be carefully managed so as not to place too heavy a burden on the existing resources at a time when they are engaged in additional tasks.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The general move to cleaner energy sources will always be a risk to the Company. This is further exacerbated by increased fuel costs which may push some customers to other modes of transport, including electric vehicles. Despite this, the market is extremely large and the Company has continued to find opportunities to grow regardless of the wider market.

The company has established risk management frameworks to monitor and mitigate these risks proactively.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The UK economy seems precarious at present, and likely to remain so in the currently depressed economic climate. Interest rates remain high although they have declined slightly with some expecting further restrictions in the forthcoming year.

As people continue to understand the environmental impact of fossil fuels and the expanding availability of other cleaner energy sources, there has been a general shift to renewable energy sources. Management are monitoring this trend and are looking into other opportunities to support alternative revenue streams such as electric forecourts, biodiesel and hydrogen fuelling stations.

The company also reviewed developments in shop layout optimisation, customer flow, and digital engagement tools used within the wider convenience retail sector.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The company's activities give rise to multiple financial risks, including the price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and Cashflow risk. The essential risk management policies are determined by the company and applied by the company's corporate treasury department.

The most significant financial risks to which the company is exposed are described below:

Price Risks

The company is exposed to price risk arising from fluctuations in fuel purchase costs and retail selling prices. Global oil market volatility, changes in wholesale pricing, and competitive pressures can impact margins. To mitigate this risk, the Company monitors market trends closely and adjusts retail pricing strategies where commercially viable. Supplier agreements are reviewed periodically to ensure competitive terms.

Liquidity Risks

Liquidity risk is related to the company's need for sufficient financing of its operations and development.

The relevant liquidity risks are the subject of management through the meticulous monitoring of debts, financial liabilities and payments made on a regular basis.

The company ensures that there are sufficient available credit facilities to be able to cover its short-term business needs, after the calculation of cash flows arising from operations as well as cash and cash equivalents which are held. The company can rely on its parent company and other group companies for long-term liquidity.

Credit Risks

The company does not exhibit any considerable concentration of credit risk in any one customer. Credit risk originates from available cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions and clients with respect to trade receivables.

To minimise credit risk on cash reserves and cash equivalents, the company specifies certain limits to its exposure on each individual financial institutions and only engages in transactions with creditworthy financial institutions of high credit rating.

Cashflow Risks

Cash flow risk primarily relates to the timing of fuel purchases and customer receipts. The business operates in a high-volume, low-margin environment, which requires careful liquidity management. The company maintains robust cash flow forecasting and monitors working capital requirements to ensure sufficient funds are available to meet operational and capital commitments.

Interest Rate Risks

The company borrows from its bankers using either overdrafts or term loans whose tenure depends on the nature of the asset and management’s view of the future direction of interest rate.

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT

The company has chosen in accordance with Companies Act 2006, s 414C(11) to set out in the company's strategic report information required by Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, Sch. 7 to be contained in the directors' report. It has done so in respect of principal risks and uncertainties and future developments.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

-	select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-	make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

-	state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

-	prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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, K J Pittalis and Partners LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

D S Penny - Director

24 December 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Penny Petroleum (GB) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 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 eight, 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.

We considered the nature of the Company's industry and its control environment and reviewed the Company's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We enquired of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of fraud and irregularities.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the Company operates in and identified the key laws and regulations that:

-

Had a direct effect on the determination of the material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. These included UK Companies Act, pensions legislation, tax legislation, financial conduct authority regulations; and

-

Do not have a direct effect on the financial statements, but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.

We discussed among the audit engagement team regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud, and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements.

In common with all audits under the ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments: assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias: and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:

-

Reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having direct effect on the financial statements;

-

Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;

-

Enquiring of management, concerning actual and potential litigation and claims, and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and

-

Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment 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 controls 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 of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control;

-

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related party 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 Auditors' report 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 Auditors' report. 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.

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.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Significant judgements and estimates

No significant judgements have had to be made by management in preparing these financial statements.

The directors have made key assumptions regarding the recognition of deferred grant income and the useful lives of both tangible and intangible fixed assets.

With regard to freehold properties the directors have also made key assumptions in the determination of the fair value of freehold property in respect of the state of the property market in the location where the properties are situated and in respect of the range of reasonable fair value estimates of the asset. The valuation method is further described in Note 8 together with the valuation of the properties at the reporting date.

Changes in accounting estimates

The accounting policy adopted for intangible assets has been amended from a twenty year straight line basis to a ten year straight line basis. The directors consider this to be a more prudent basis and have applied this policy retrospectively. Further details of the impact can be found in the notes to the financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax.

The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities described below.

Sales of goods

Sales of goods are recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred and no other significant obligation remains unfulfilled that may affect the customer's acceptance of the goods. In most cases this is at the point of sale.

Rendering of services

In addition to the sale of goods the company also provides a number of other services. When the outcome of a transaction for the rendering of services can be estimated reliably in terms of revenue and costs, the company recognises revenue on the sales of services in the reporting period in which the services are rendered by reference to the date the service is rendered.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on business acquisitions and represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the company's interest in the net amount of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business.

Goodwill recognised at acquisition is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life, which is estimated to be ten years.

Goodwill amortisation is included in administrative expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

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.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Long leasehold

-

over the useful life of the lease

Freehold property - Straight line over 50 years on building

Short leasehold - over the useful life of the lease

Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance

Freehold property held for the company's trade are carried at their revalued amounts, being fair value at the date of valuation less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses. Revaluations are performed by professional qualified valuers with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amounts do not differ materially from those that would be determined using fair values at the end of each reporting period. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Any revaluation increase in the carrying amount of land and buildings is recognised in other comprehensive income and included in a revaluation reserve in equity, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profit and loss to the extent of the decrease previously expended. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged in other comprehensive income and debited against revaluation reserve in equity; decreases exceeding the balance in revaluation reserve relating to an asset are recognised in profit or loss. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset recognised in profit or loss and depreciation based on the asset's original cost is transferred from revaluation reserve to retained earnings.
