The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 30 September 2025.

Our review is consistent with the size and non-complex nature of our business.

The group continues to operate in the metal recycling industry. The group has extensive experience in providing waste management services and metal recycling facilities. Concern for the environment is an integral part of the group's business strategy and the group endeavours to work closely with the relevant statutory bodies to meet all applicable legislation. Continued investment is made in developing new processes to limit waste and the environmental impact from the recycling process. The group continues to trade in the salvage and recycling of auto parts, together with online sale of damaged, repairable and stolen recovery vehicles. The company also deals in the disposal of end of life vehicles in accordance with government legislation.

The business environment continues to be competitive and the group is always looking for new opportunities to expand its services.

The business has risk management processes that seek to identify, assess and manage financial risk. The following risks have been identified:

The main risks to the continued success of the group is the pressure upon the supply of recyclable material, largely caused by the lack of growth in the economy, pressures within the labour market, such as HGV driver shortages and rising costs. However, the group is well placed to manage risks in an effective way.

The price of metal varies in accordance with the external market. The group manages this risk by regularly reviewing prices on both sides of the transaction in order to compensate the price fluctuations.

Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts for both time and credit limits. Provision for doubtful debts is made as necessary.

We measure the achievement of our objectives both through the use of qualitative assessments and through monitoring of quantitative indictors.

To provide a full and rounded view of our business, we use non-financial as well as financial measures. Although all these measures are important, some are considered to be more significant than others, and these more significant measures are designated as KPIs. KPIs are used as our primary measures of whether we are achieving our principal strategic aims of sustainable growth, superior financial performance and funding for future growth.

We seek to provide growth in earnings through improved efficiencies and operations in light of market conditions. Markets have proven to be difficult and we are seeking improved volumes to be able to command better sales prices which are volume related. The generation of earnings is essential to deliver growth and to fund future growth in the business. Overheads are reviewed, monitored and controlled by management through formal procedures including the preparation and review of quarterly management accounts of the subsidiary companies.

Management ensures that all decisions are taken for the long term, and collectively and individually aims to always uphold the highest standard of conduct.

The Board believes that a long-term success and growth of the group is strongly correlated to a positive interaction with all of its stakeholders. Effective engagement allows the Board to understand relevant stakeholder views on issues which may impact the business, and helps to inform the Board’s decision making. Stakeholder engagement is ultimately managed by the Board of Directors, but also takes place at all levels within the organisation.

The Directors understand that our employees are fundamental and core to our business and delivery of our strategic ambitions. The success of our business depends on attracting, retaining and motivating employees. From ensuring that we remain a responsible employer, from pay and benefits to our health, safety and workplace environment, the Directors consider the implications of decisions on employees, where relevant and feasible.

The implementation of our strategy requires strong mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers, customers and other business partners.

The group aims to act responsibly and fairly in its engagement with suppliers since they are integral to the success of the business.

The Board supports the business by engaging with our future and existing customers. We strive to develop enduring partnerships with our customers in order build long-term relationships.

We recognise each of our companies has an important role to play in its local community and acknowledge the impact of our business on the wider society.

The desirability of the group maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct

We aim to achieve our business targets in ways which are economically, environmentally and socially responsible.

The Board recognises that culture, values and standards are key contributors to how a group creates and sustains value over the longer term, and to enable it to maintain a reputation for high standards of business conduct.

On behalf of the board

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025.

The principal activity of Tasmar Limited continued to be that of a holding company and property rental company.

The principal activity of the group continued to be that of metal and automotive recycling.

The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

The results for the year are set out on page 8.

Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £1,000,000. The directors do not recommend payment of a further dividend.

The risk management objectives and the exposure to risks are discussed within the strategic report on pages 1 to 2 in accordance with S414C(11).

The future development of the company is discussed within the Strategic Report on page 1 to 2 in accordance with s414C (11).

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report 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 group and company, and of the profit or loss of the group 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 UK 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 group and company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group’s and company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and 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 group and company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the auditor of the company is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor of the company is aware of that information.

We have audited the financial statements of Tasmar Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 September 2025 which comprise the group profit and loss account, the group statement of comprehensive income, the group balance sheet, the company balance sheet, the group statement of changes in equity, the company statement of changes in equity, the group statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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 group's and the parent company's affairs as at 30 September 2025 and of the group's 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's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent 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 group's and parent 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 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 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.

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 our audit:

• The information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year 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.

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and their 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the parent company 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.

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 parent 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.

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.

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.

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

• the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

• Through discussions with the directors and other management and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the industry sector, we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the group and company; and

• Focusing on the specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the group and company, we assessed the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting relevant correspondence.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

• making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and

• considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

• performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;

• tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;

• assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates detailed in the accounting policies were indicative of potential bias; and

• investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual bank transactions;

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

• agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

• enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://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 parent 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 parent 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 parent company and the parent company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The profit and loss account has been prepared on the basis that all operations are continuing operations.

As permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, the company has not presented its own profit and loss account and related notes. The company’s profit for the year was £6,807,507 (2024 - £2,047,593 profit).

Tasmar Limited (“the company”) is a limited company domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 55 Station Road, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, HP9 1QL.

The group consists of Tasmar Limited and all of its subsidiaries.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The consolidated profit and loss and balance sheet include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings, made up to the balance sheet date. The results of subsidiaries acquired are included in the profit and loss account from the date that control passes.

In these financial statements, the company is considered to be a qualifying entity (for the purpose of this FRS) and has applied the exemptions available under FRS 102 in respect of the following disclosures:

• Reconciliation of the number of shares outstanding at the beginning and end of the period;

• Cash flow statement and related notes; and

• Financial instrument disclosures including categories of financial instruments and items of income, expenses, gains or losses relating to financial instruments.

The consolidated profit and loss account and balance sheet include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings made up to the balance sheet date. The results of the subsidiaries sold or acquired are included in the profit and loss account up to, or from the date control passes. Intra-group sales and profits are eliminated fully on consolidation.

The financial statements present information about the group and its subsidiaries.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Turnover in the company represents management charges received from related companies, in respect of management services and use of premises.

Turnover included in the consolidated financial statements represents amounts receivable for goods and rental income receivable in the normal course of business net of VAT and trade discounts. Turnover is recognised on despatch of the goods and rental income is recognised in the period to which it relates.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of a business over the fair value of net assets acquired. It is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is considered to have a finite useful life and is amortised on a systematic basis over its expected life, which is 10 years.

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the profit and loss account.

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the profit and loss account.

Fixed assets investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value.

At each reporting period end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Financial instruments are recognised in the group's statement of financial position when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is a legally 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.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the group transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans and loans from fellow group companies, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the group.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if, and only if, there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and 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 rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.

In the application of the group’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. A provision for slow moving stock is included in line with group policy.

The trade debtors balances are regularly reviewed to identify any potential bad debts. Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that the bad debt provisions are as accurate as possible, there remains a risk that the provisions do not match the level of debts which ultimately prove to be uncollectible.

The group establishes a reliable estimate of the depreciation of tangible fixed assets. This estimate is based on the expected useful life of the assets held.

An analysis of the group's turnover is as follows:

The total turnover of the group for the year has been derived from its principal activities wholly undertaken in the United Kingdom.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the group and company during the year was:

Their aggregate remuneration comprised:

The actual charge for the year can be reconciled to the expected charge for the year based on the profit or loss and the standard rate of tax as follows:

The investment property valuations have been made by the directors, on an open market basis.

Details of the company's subsidiaries at 30 September 2025 are as follows:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where the group or company has a legally enforceable right to do so. The following is the analysis of the deferred tax balances (after offset) for financial reporting purposes:

A defined contribution pension scheme is operated for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the group in an independently administered fund.

Ordinary and 'A' shares were redesignated as 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', and 'E' shares at no consideration. All classes of shares carry the right to vote at general meetings, a right to return of capital on liquidation, have no right of redemption, have a right to receive dividends, and rank pari passu.

The merger reserve is a non-distributable reserve created by the exercise of s612 merger relief for the amount in excess of the nominal value of the 11 ordinary shares issued in connection with the acquisition of SMD Property Management Limited and 248 ordinary shares issued in connection with the acquisition of McDonagh Investments Limited.

This reserve records the nominal value of shares repurchased by the company.

The company is part of a VAT group registration scheme with its subsidiary undertakings, ASM Metal Recycling Limited, ASM Auto Recycling Ltd, Totternhoe Metal Recycling Ltd, SMD Property Management Limited and McDonagh Investments Limited. Therefore all companies are jointly and severally liable for all VAT liabilities of the group.

There is a fixed and floating charge over all assets of the company whereby the company guarantees all amounts due to Barclays Bank Plc by ASM Auto Recycling Ltd and ASM Metal Recycling Ltd. At the balance sheet date the amount due to Barclays Bank Plc was £nil (2024: £nil).

The remuneration of key management personnel is as follows.

During the year, the group was charged rent of £50,000 (2024: £54,500) by Tasmar Limited Pension Scheme, a scheme with trustees who are also director / shareholders of Tasmar Limited. At the balance sheet date an amount of £16,500 (2024: £18,256) was due to Tasmar Limited Pension Scheme.

During the year, the group was provided with a loan by Tasmar Limited Pension Scheme on which interest of £6,820 (2024: £27,282) was charged. At the balance sheet date the amount due to Tasmar Limited Pension Scheme was £nil (2024: £50,000).

During the year, the group paid dividends to key management personnel (including directors) of £1,000,000 (2024: £1,093,392).

During the year, the group was provided with finance by key management personnel (including directors) on which interest of £50,000 (2024: £50,000) was charged. The total balances outstanding at the balance sheet date amounted to £1,017,962 (2024: £1,017,962).

During the year, the group provided finance to key management personnel (including directors) on which interest of £38,344 (2024: £28,125) was charged. The total balances outstanding at the balance sheet date amounted to £1,316,469 (2024: £1,278,125).

The company has taken advantage of the exemption available whereby it has not disclosed transactions with any wholly owned subsidiary undertaking.

During the year, the company charged management fees of £840,000 (2024: £840,000), and rent of £250,000 (2024: £250,000) to a subsidiary that is not wholly owed by the group. At the balance sheet date an amount of £6,322,046 (2024: £4,625,324) was due to the subsidiary undertaking.

In the current and previous financial year Tasmar Limited was controlled by S C P McDonagh, a director, by virtue of his majority shareholding in the issued share capital of the company.

A subsidiary undertaking has taken advantage of the exemption from audit provided by section 479A of the Companies Act 2006. Tasmar Limited has therefore given a guarantee under section 479C of the Act in respect of this undertaking. The relevant subsidiary is Totternhoe Holdings Limited.
