STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025


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

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Market Condition
The market in 2025 has remained challenging, particularly against new entrants joining the new car market throughout the year. New vehicle supply was stable, supporting consistent sales activity, although consumer demand remains constrained by high interest rates and ongoing cost-of-living pressures. Used vehicle values, while still requiring careful management, continue to be consistent however used EV vehicles continue to be an area of value concern.

Company Position
During 2025 the decision was made to end the long standing partnership with Hyundai. The Toyota franchise continues to be a strong performer and the company enjoys a strong relationships with the brand.

Internal
Ownership and management remain stable, with no changes planned.

Financial
Overall the company showed a profit for 2025, which was pleasing. This was supported by company restructuring that occurred late in 2025 including the sale of a property. There was also considerable cost associated with a redundancy program which happened at the end of 2025. This has allowed the company to be on a positive trajectory into 2026.

STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The management of the business and the company's strategic direction continue to be subject to several key risks. The directors have identified the following principal areas:

Manufacturers Supply of New and Improved Products
The company remains reliant on the supply of new vehicle products from its manufacturer partners. Risks include:

- Availability of new vehicle products
- Quality of new vehicle products
- Pricing of new vehicle products

The directors remain confident that manufacturers will continue to provide competitively priced, high-quality products.

Used Vehicle Prices
While used vehicle price volatility remains a core risk, 2025 remained a consistent year with aa return to more normal used trading condition. The company continues to invest in systems to support accurate pricing.

People and Reputation
The company's success relies heavily on its skilled team and strong reputation. The business while having made some changes in staffing in 2025, remains adequately staffed and continue to invest in training programmes to support continued learning.

The Competitive Environment
The motor retail sector remains highly competitive. The relaxation of Block Exemption legislation continues to allow independent repairers greater market access. The directors mitigate this risk by maintaining superior customer service standards and leveraging the advantages of holding key manufacturer franchises. The ongoing shift toward EVs reinforces the value of these franchises and supports the company's continued investment in EV infrastructure and staff training. The removal of legacy brands during 2025 and the investment in new entrants keeps the business competitive within a fast changing market.

Other market issues
High interest rates and subdued consumer confidence remain headwinds for the wider automotive sector. The introduction of the UK's Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate continues to create uncertainty around new and used EV demand, and the pace of the EV market's growth remains difficult to predict.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES
The company uses various financial instruments, other than derivatives, which include bank and stocking loans, cash and various items, such as consignment stock, trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the group's operations. Their existence exposes the company to a number of financial risks.

The main risks arising from the company's financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below. These policies have remained unchanged from previous years.

Interest Rate Risk
The company finances its operations through a mixture of bank and other external borrowings.The company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its borrowings is managed by the use of fixed and floating facilities. The balance sheet includes trade debtors and creditors, which do not attract interest.

The company policy through the year has been to achieve its objective of managing interest rate risk through day to day involvement of management in business decisions rather than through setting maximum or minimum levels for the level of fixed interest rate borrowings.

Credit Risk
The company's principal financial assets are cash and trade debtors. The credit risk associated with cash is limited as the counterparts have high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The principal credit risk therefore arises from its trade debtors.

In order to manage credit risk, the directors set credit limits for customers based on a combination of payment history and third party credit references. Credit limits are reviewed by the directors on a regular basis in conjunction with debt aging and collection history.

Liquidity Risk
The company seeks to manage risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs to invest cash assets safely and profitably.

The company's policy throughout the year has been to achieve this objective through the day to day involvement of management in business decisions rather than through setting maximum or minimum liquidity ratios.

The directors' review of the business, and their consideration of the risks and uncertainties surrounding the business may be found in the Strategic Report.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

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). 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;
- 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 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, Bright Brown Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





G L Vanassche - Director

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
LESLIES ISLE OF WIGHT LIMITED


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Leslies Isle of Wight Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 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 the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
LESLIES ISLE OF WIGHT LIMITED


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 five, 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.

As part of our planning we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. Based on our understanding of the company we identified the principal risk as management override of controls.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

- A review of journals made in preparing the final results, and a review of accounting estimates made by management.
- A review of transactions and records to ensure there are no transactions that have no apparent commercial purpose, or
that are processed outside of the usual accounting systems.
- A review of an appropriate sample of vehicles to ensure sufficient evidence has been obtained over valuations in what is a
more subjective area of the accounts.
- Discussions with management, including consideration of any known or suspected instances of fraud or non-compliance
with laws or regulations.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error as fraud may involve deliberate concealment or intentional misrepresentations.

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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
LESLIES ISLE OF WIGHT LIMITED

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Leslies Isle of Wight Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

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
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

The following judgements have been made by the directors in applying the company's accounting policies:

Consignment stock
New vehicles held on consignment are included in stocks where it is considered that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the company. The directors have assessed that this applies to Hyundai vehicles held on consignment, but the significant risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred on Toyota vehicles held on consignment until the vehicle has been adopted by the company.

At 31 December 2025, the company held £347,699 (2024: £233,602) Toyota vehicles on consignment, funded by a stocking loan to this value.

Stock valuation
Stock valuation is regularly monitored against the age profile and market demand. Management use a number of market tools during the appraisal process including CAP valuation guides. The director maintains oversight of ageing stock profiles and a monthly review of any provision required is performed.

Property, plant and equipment assets
At each reporting date, property, plant and equipment is assessed for any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined based on value in use calculations which require estimates to be made of future cash flow.

An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Brand incentives
The company receives income in the form of various incentives which are determined by the brand partners. The amount received is generally based on achieving specific objectives such as a specific sales volume, as well as other objectives including maintaining brand partner standards which may include, but are not limited to, retail centre image and design requirements, customer satisfactions survey results and training standards. Objectives are generally set and measured on either a quarterly or annual basis.

Where incentives are based on a specific sales volume or number of registrations, the related income is recognised as a reduction in cost of sales when it is reasonably certain that the income has been earned. This is generally the later of the date the related vehicles are sold or registered or when it is reasonably certain that the related target will be met. Where incentives are linked to retail centre image and design requirements, customer satisfaction survey results or training standards, they are recognised as a reduction in cost of sales when it is reasonably certain the incentive will be received for the relevant period.

The company may also receive contributions towards advertising, promotional and rent expenditure. Where such contributions are received they are recognised as a reduction in the related expenditure in the period to which they relate.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the aquisition of a business in 2015, has been fully amortised.

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 or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimate useful life:


Freehold property

-
2% on cost, and 15% reducing
balance
Short-term leasehold property-2% on cost

Plant and machinery

-
15% on reducing balance, and
20% on cost
Fixtures and fittings-15% on reducing balance
Computer equipment-25% on reducing balance

The assets' residual values, useful lives, and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Income Statement.

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.

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stock.

At each reporting date, the stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

Consignment vehicles are regarded as being under the control of the company when significant risks and responsibilities of ownership are deemed to have passed to the company in accordance with FRS 102. These values are included with the stocks on the Statement of Financial Position, although legal title has not passed to the company. The corresponding liability is included as new vehicle funding and is recognised within trade creditors.

Financial instruments
The company only has basic financial instruments, which are recognised at amortised cost.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - 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 tax
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 or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
