| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE PERIOD 1ST JANUARY 2025 TO 31ST OCTOBER 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report for the period ended 31st October 2025. |
| The financial results for the year, along with the company's financial position, are detailed in the accompanying financial statements. |
| Company performance |
| The results show a pre-tax loss of £33,176 (2024: profit of £21,620). The company has net assets of £507 (2024: £34,872) at the balance sheet date. |
| Principal risks and uncertainties |
| The company has ceased business on 31 October 2025 and is unlikely to resume operation in the future. Therefore, it is deemed to be the best interest of the Company to be dissolved and terminated. |
| Accordingly, the financial statement have not been prepared on a going concern basis with a view this will be the final period of accounts. The company will rely on continued support from its parent, during the wind up of the company. |
| The principal risks and uncertainties of Wong's International Holdings Limited, which include those of this company, are discussed in the group's annual report which does not form part of this report. |
| Key performance indicators ("KPIs") |
| Given the straightforward nature of the business, the company's directors are of the opinion that analysis using KPIs is not necessary for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the business. |
| The development, performance and position of Wong's International Holdings Limited, which include those of this company, are discussed in the group's annual report which does not form part of this report. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| WONG'S INTERNATIONAL EUROPE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01995383) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE PERIOD 1ST JANUARY 2025 TO 31ST OCTOBER 2025 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period 1st January 2025 to 31st October 2025. |
| CESSATION OF TRADING |
| The company ceased trading on 31st October 2025 therefore the accounting period has been shortened to this date. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividends will be distributed for the period ended 31st October 2025. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors set out in the table below have held office during the whole of the period from 1st January 2025 to the date of this report unless otherwise stated. |
| Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
| The directors shown below were in office at 31st October 2025 but did not hold any interest in the Ordinary shares of £1 each at 1st January 2025 or 31st October 2025. |
| The directors Tsze Wah Chan and Wai Ming Chan stated above are also directors of Wong's International Holdings Limited, the company's ultimate parent company. Their interests in the shares of Wong's International Holdings Limited (if any) are disclosed in the directors' report of the 2025 Annual Report of Wong's International Holdings Limited. |
| 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; |
| - | state whether applicable 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 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. |

| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE PERIOD 1ST JANUARY 2025 TO 31ST OCTOBER 2025 |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Richardson Jones, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| WONG'S INTERNATIONAL EUROPE LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Wong's International Europe Limited (the 'company') for the period ended 31st October 2025 which comprise the Statement of 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 31st October 2025 and of its loss for the period 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 intend to liquidate the company and therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| WONG'S INTERNATIONAL EUROPE LIMITED |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, 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: |
| We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to Wongs International Europe Limited and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risks of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that 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 by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. |
| We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including Section 106 agreements, Health and Safety regulations and Corporation tax regulations. Our procedures included: |
| -agreeing the financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation. |
| -enquiries with management. |
| -understanding the internal controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities. |
| 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 would become aware of it. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. |
| 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. |
| Use of our report |
| This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

| Going concern |
| The financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors consider this to be appropriate as the company has ceased business on 31 October 2025 and unlikely to resume operation in the future. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and |
| assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements. Management bases its judgements, |
| estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other factors, including expectations of future events, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent |
| liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision only affects that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
