STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Introduction
 
The principal activity of the Company is the international trading of crude oil, refined petroleum, petrochemical products and biofuels.

Business review
 
The business has continued to grow over the years and the Directors expect this trend to continue based on concluded term contracts and the Company’s short, medium and long-term development strategy. The Company’s performance is measured in traded volumes, new acquired markets, in terms of gross trading margin and net result for the year, after deducting operating expenses. There was a loss for the financial year after taxation amounting to $445,166 (2024: $762,279 net profit). The Directors monitor the following key performance indicators of turnover, gross profit margin, operating profit and net profit.

The Company's turnover has decreased 50.8% to $116,124,303 (2024: $235,819,305). The turnover decrease is due to structural changes and business division between affiliated companies of the group, although the overall group turnover has increased. Gross profit has decreased by 50.3% to $978,343 (2024: $1,970,451) with the total operating loss amounting to $392,406 (2024: $1,017,057 operating profit).

The Company's net loss after tax has decreased by 158.4% to $445,166 (2024: $762,279 profit after tax). 
The Company has been subject to new tax legislation in one of the countryies where it operates, being taxed on turnover regardless of profitability, which has contributed to the overall financial result for 2025.
The decrease in net profit is due to the Company’s long-term development strategy and continuous diversification. The includes additional investment in new projects, such as Aviation fuel and SAF supply to major European airports, supporting industry sustainability goals and transition, related new market entry and complex supply chain set up costs. The Company continues to invest in the growth of the business expecting further expansion in terms of both products and markets, increasing turnover and gross profit for each foreseeable year. The Company expects to return to profitability in 2026. 

There have been no major logistical or operational issues in the physical handling of products for the company. Although economica uncertainty had a limited impact on the Company, the overall European energy and chemical market situation and major closures of European production plants has affected the Company’s traditional markets. A proactive approach will be taken by the Company to mitigate any potential negative impacts resulting from the economic uncertainty in the years to come, by adapting the Company’s growth strategy, diversification and investment in new projects.

There is also a significant disruption to financial and commodity markets due to the current geopolitical situation. Various countries, including the United States, the European Union, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, are continuing to impose sanctions against various companies and individuals as well as trade flows changing globally. Currently, the Company has no material exposure to geopolitical events. The Company complies with all sanctions applicable to our business activities and will monitor the situation as it develops. Currently there are no additional effects on the Company's financial performance as the sanctions continue to be prolonged. Given the Company's healthy financial position and its immaterial exposure, there are no indications that these impacts will adversely affect the Company's current financial situation in a material manner.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Principal risks and uncertaintie
 
The Company has an established, structured risk management strategy. The Company's activity exposes it to some risks and uncertainties including the effect of market changes and foreign exchange risks. However, the Company has adopted risk management policies that seek to mitigate these risks in a cost-effective manner.

The Company does not have any loans to repay or assets to renew. Most of the sales are secured either by various financial instruments via the Company's bankers or by credit insurance. These instruments minimise the risk of bad debts. The Company's forecasts and projections show that the Company should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities.
Debtors and creditors are received and paid in the same currency being US Dollars or Euros. The Directors review foreign currency risk on a regular basis to ensure that such risk is minimised.

The Company uses various financial instruments. These include letters of credit and bank guarantees, but also cashflow management, such as trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Company's operations and to minimise the exposure to exchange rate risk, bad debt risk and insolvency risk.

Market risk
Market risk encompasses various types of risk, being currency risk, price risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

Currency risk
The Company is exposed to exchange rate variances. However, both sales and purchases are made in US Dollars or Euros, which are the main currencies used in the field of oil and gas. There are only a few expenses, such as wages, national insurance and corporation tax, that are in GBP.

In accordance with company policy all business transactions are only approved if purchases and sales are in the same currency. Nevertheless, in the case that sales and purchase currencies differ, the Company has the policy to hedge the FX conversion via its banks.

Price risk
The Company's exposure to price risk consists mainly of movements in the value of sales and purchases. The price fluctuation risk is mitigated by use of hedging instruments or by back-to-back transactions.

Credit risk
The Company has significant trade debtors and trade creditors but those amounts are interlinked. The risk is mitigated by the strong ongoing customer relationships and first class customers, and by use of various financial instruments issued and confirmed by first class international banks or by securing credit insurance policies. 

Liquidity risk
The Company is managing the risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. The Company expects to meet its financial obligations through operating cash flows. In the event that the operating cash flows would not cover all the financial obligations, the Company has credit facilities available from its suppliers and financial instruments.

We continuously consider compliance matters within our decision making process, for example by reviewing pre-contract due diligence results and mitigations relating to suppliers and service providers.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BUSINESS OIL PLATFORM LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Business Oil Platform Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows, the Statement of Changes in Equity 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 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 loss 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 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 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.

Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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.


Opinion 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 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 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.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

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 set out on page 6, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BUSINESS OIL PLATFORM LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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:
• Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and
claims;
• Enquiry of entity staff in compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with
laws and regulations;
• Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal
entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions
outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; and
• Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance
with applicable laws and regulations.


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.

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

1.


General information

Business Oil Platform Limited is a private company, limited by shares, domiciled in England and Wales, registration number 06956515. The registered office is The News Building, 3 London Bridge Street, London, United Kingdom, SE1 9SG.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Going concern

In assessing the going concern status of the Company, the Directors have considered the trading strategy and cash projections of the Company, including the amounts due within the next 12 months. The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading performance, show that the Company should be able to operate within the levels of its current facilities. The Directors have considered new financing arrangements with the banks. Based on these considerations the Directors have formed a judgement at the time of approving the financial statements that the Company has adequate resources to continue the operational existence for the foreseeable future. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue to receive support from creditors, the Directors and shareholders as and when required.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is USD and figures have been rounded to the nearest $1.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'Other operating income/(loss)'.

 
2.4

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
∙the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
∙the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Trading Income

Revenue from the sale of commodities is recognised upon the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer. Open trading positions are classified as financial instruments and measured at fair value, unrealised profits and losses on open trading positions are recognised as Turnover in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.6

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.7

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.


 
2.8

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Office equipment
-
25%
straight line

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an 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 profit or loss.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.9

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.10

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management.

 
2.11

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.12

Hedge accounting

The Company uses variable to fixed interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to fair value risk on its enter user text. These derivatives are measured at fair value at each reporting date.

To the extent the cash flow hedge is effective, movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in a separate cash flow hedge reserve. Any ineffective portions of those movements are recognised in profit or loss for the year.

Gains and losses on the hedging instruments and the hedged items are recognised in profit or loss for the year. When a hedged item is an unrecognised firm commitment, the cumulative hedging gain or loss on the hedged item is recognised as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

Interest rate derivatives are used to manage exposure to interest rate risk. Where a fair value hedge relationship is designated, gains and losses on the hedging instrument and the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.13

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. There are no significant judgements for understanding the financial statements.
