Principal Activities The principal activity of the Company is that of a holding company. During the year, the Company held investments in a subsidiary undertaking and provided strategic oversight and support to this entity. Review of Business The Company continued to operate as the parent undertaking of the Group throughout the period. During the period, the Company was acquired by Kingdom Services Group Limited, becoming part of a wider group structure. Following the acquisition, the Company continued to hold its investment in a subsidiary undertaking and oversee the strategic direction of that business. The Directors consider the results for the period to be satisfactory in light of market conditions and the Company's role as a holding company. The financial position of the Company at the period end remains strong, supported by its investment in the subsidiary undertaking. Principal Risks and Uncertainties As a holding company, the Company's performance is dependent upon the performance and financial position of its subsidiary undertaking. The Directors regularly monitor the trading performance, cash flows and financial position of the subsidiary company and consider the principal risks facing that entity as part of the Group's overall risk management process. Future Developments The Directors intend to continue the Company's activities as a holding company and to support the development and growth of its subsidiary undertaking. Following the acquisition during the period, the Company will continue to integrate within the wider group structure and pursue opportunities to enhance shareholder value.

Directors' Responsibilities Statement
The directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period. 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 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 judgments 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 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.
Auditor
Each of the persons who is a director at the date of approval of this report confirms that:
-
so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware; and - they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of
FPR Group Limited |
|
Period from 1 June 2024 to 31 March 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of FPR Group Limited (the 'company') for the period ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of income and retained earnings, statement of financial position and the related notes, 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 FRS 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 period then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; - 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's 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 Matter
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. 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.
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 directors' report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the strategic report and the directors' report 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 directors' report. 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 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 directors' responsibilities statement, 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 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 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.
Auditor's 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 auditor’s 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: - Obtained an understanding of the nature and sector of the company along with reviewing the financial performance; - Discussions with management to identify areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements based on our understanding of the company and through discussion with management (as required by auditing standards); - We also considered laws and regulations in areas that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting (including related company legislation); - We evaluated directors and management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements; - We communicated the identified laws and regulations throughout our audit team to ensure that they were alert of any indications which would highlight any non-compliance during the audit; - Matters were also discussed with the finance director during the planning process and throughout the audit fieldwork, in relation to any cases of fraud or non-compliance of laws and regulations which may have taken place during the period or post year end; - Review of transactions (including journals); - Review of legal correspondence and related costs; and - Review opening balances in detail due to the company not being audited by ourselves. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We did not identify any such irregularities, however as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities due to fraud, as these may involve deliberate concealment, collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. 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 auditor’s report.
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 an auditor's report 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements |
|
Period from 1 June 2024 to 31 March 2025
1.
General Information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. On 10 March 2025 the registered office changed from 4th Floor, 132 Queens Road, Brighton, BN1 3WB to Kingdom House, Woodlands Park, Ashton Road, Newton-Le-Willows, WA12 0HF.
2.
Statement of Compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3.
Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
Disclosure Exemptions
The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. Its financial statements are consolidated into the financial statements of Kingdom Services Group Limited which can be obtained from Companies House. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: (a) Disclosures in respect of each class of share capital have not been presented. (b) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. (c) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented. (d) No disclosure has been given for the aggregate remuneration of key management personnel.
Consolidation
The company was, at the end of the period, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kingdom Services Group Limited incorporated in the UK and in accordance with section 400 of the Companies Act 2006, is not required to produce, and has not published, consolidated accounts.
Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant judgements The judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows: - The company assesses the carrying value of amounts due from group companies annually or more frequently if warranted by a change in circumstances. Recoverability is dependent upon assumptions and judgements regarding future cash flows and profit margins. - Determination of whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's investments. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viabilities and expected future financial performance of the asset. Key sources of estimation uncertainty Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows: - In the opinion of the directors there are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty.
Investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
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.

Events after the End of the Reporting Period
On 25 September 2025, the company entered into a separate security agreement, in relation to the lending facilities, creating fixed and floating charges over its assets: - a debenture agreement with HSBC UK Bank PLC, acting as security agent, registered with Companies House on 25 September 2025. This floating charge covers all property or undertaking of the company and includes a negative pledge restricting further security creation over the company's assets. These transactions occurred after the reporting date and before the financial statements were authorised for issue, and have not resulted in any adjustments to the financial statements for the current year.
13.

The company was under the control of
M Foster
