| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 |
| The director presents his strategic report for the year ended 31 August 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows: |
| 2025 | 2024 |
| £ | £ |
| Turnover | 18,892,884 | 19,187,166 |
| Gross profit | 4,036,798 | 3,378,308 |
| Profit before tax | 2,768,683 | 1,969,271 |
| Current assets as % of current liabilities (current ratio) | 322% | 205% |
| Gross profit margin | 21.4% | 17.6% |
| Average number of employees | 44 | 45 |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| Liquidity Risk |
| The director considers the liquidity risk to be low due to the cash reserves the company has built up over the last few financial years. Credit control is constantly reviewed to ensure that there is always significant capital to pay debts as they fall due. |
| Emerging Risk |
| The conflict in the Middle East provides some concerns as regards the possible effect on supply chains and price increases. |
| In October 2025 the company was sold to BVS Holdings Ltd. |
| The directors messers L Wiggins and J Rider are to remain employed by the company to ensure a smooth transition to the new ownership. |
| The current order book for the remainder of 2026 and 2027 is very good, and the company expects future profitability to remain consistent with 2025. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |

| DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements 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 statements, the director is required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The 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 statements 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. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the director is 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 he has taken all the 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. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Haslers Assurance LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| STANFORD COACH WORKS & MOBILITY |
| SERVICES LTD |
| Qualified Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Stanford Coach Works & Mobility Services Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, 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, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements: |
| - give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 August 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 qualified opinion |
| We were not appointed as auditor for the company until after 31 August 2025 and the previous years were not audited. We therefore did not observer the counting of physical stock and work in progress at either 31 August 2024 or 31 August 2025. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the stock and work in progress quantities held at 31 August 2024 and 31 August 2025, which are included in the balance sheet at £678,648 and £239,876 respectively (2024: £635,235 and £306,629 respectively), by using other audit procedures. |
| Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount was necessary. |
| In addition, were any adjustment to the stock balance to be required, the strategic report would also need to be amended. |
| 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 qualified 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 financial statements are 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| STANFORD COACH WORKS & MOBILITY |
| SERVICES LTD |
| Other information |
| The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The director is responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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. |
| As described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, we were unable to satisfy ourselves concerning the stock and work in progress quantities of £678,648 and £239,876 respectively at 31 August 2025 (2024: £635,235 and £306,629 respectively ). We have concluded that where the other information refers to the stock balance or related balances such as cost of sales, it may be materially misstated for this reason. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report: |
| - 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 |
| Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, 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 Director's report. |
| Arising solely from the limitation on the scope of our work relating to stock and work in progress, referred to above |
| - we have not obtained all the information and explanation that we consider necessary for the purpose of our audit; and |
| - we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| - 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. |
| Responsibilities of director |
| As explained more fully in the Director's responsibilities statement set out on page , 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 has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| STANFORD COACH WORKS & MOBILITY |
| SERVICES LTD |
| 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 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. |
| Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| 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: |
| - had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. These included the UK Companies Act and tax legislation etc; 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. These include operational laws and regulations including health and safety regulations, environmental regulations, and GDPR. |
| We obtained an understanding of how the company are complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquiries with management and those responsible for legal and compliance frameworks. We corroborated our enquiries through review of correspondence with regulatory bodies and gaining an understanding of the entity level controls of the company in respect of these areas and the controls in place to reduce opportunity for fraudulent transactions. |
| We discussed among the audit engagement team including relevant internal tax specialists, regarding the opportunities and incentives, including management override of controls, that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements. We also communicated the applicable laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
| As a result of performing the above, we identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas, and our specific procedures performed to address it are described below: |
| The principal risks related to management override in relation to posting of non-standard manual journals in respect of revenue and misstatement of expenses in relation to work in progress. |
| Procedures performed to address these were as follows: |
| - Walkthrough testing was carried out to identify and assess the design effectiveness of controls management have in place to prevent and detect fraud, including known of suspected instances or non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud, |
| - Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process, |
| - Using analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatements due to fraud, |
| - Assessing the appropriateness of accounting estimates and challenging any significant assumptions or judgements made by management, |
| - Incorporating testing of manual journal entries that were posted throughout the year. In particular, we focused on material journal entries, round sum journal entries, journal entries posted without descriptions. These were scrutinised for evidence of unusual entries, |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| STANFORD COACH WORKS & MOBILITY |
| SERVICES LTD |
| - Reviewing revenue recognition policies and general policies in relation to work in progress. We assessed the accuracy and completeness of the management’s estimates, |
| - Evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
| Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
| 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 Auditors' report. |
| Other matters |
| The financial statements of the entity for the year ended 31 August 2024 were not audited. |
| 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. |

| Basis of preparing 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. In respect of the rendering of services, turnover represents revenue measured by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity or of the service transaction at the end of the reporting period. |
| The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. |
| Rendering of services |
| The company converts and builds custom luxury and accessible vehicles. When the outcome of a transaction for the rendering of services can be estimated reliably in terms of revenue, costs and its stage of completion, the company recognises revenue on the sales of services in the reporting period in which the services are rendered by reference to the stage of completion of the specific transaction at the end of the reporting period. The stage of completion is determined on the basis of the actual completion of a proportion of the total services to be rendered. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Capital expenditure on premises | - |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Stocks |
| Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |

| 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. |
| Deferred taxation |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts are capitalised as tangible fixed assets and depreciated over their useful lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the payment is charged to the profit and loss account evenly over the period of the agreement. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates two defined contribution pension schemes. Contributions payable to the company's pensions schemes are charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate. |
| Operating leases |
| Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred. |
| Employee benefit trust |
| The company established an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) during the year to 31 August 2010 for the benefit of certain employees. Until such time as the assets of the EBT vest unconditionally with the employees, the assets and liabilities of the EBT are included within the relevant assets and liabilities of the company. |

| Financial instruments policy |
| The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. |
| Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost. |
| Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. |
| For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. |
| For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
| 4. | TURNOVER |
