STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing 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;

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, Howards Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small
companies.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:



L K Seville - Secretary


17th December 2020

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
STOKES GROUP LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Stokes Group Limited (the 'company') for the year ended
30th December 2019 which comprise the Income Statement, Statement of Financial Position and 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 30th December 2019 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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to
you where:
- the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not
appropriate; or
- the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast
significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period
of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial
statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude
that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Directors has 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 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; or
- the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime
and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in
preparing the Report of the Directors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
STOKES GROUP LIMITED


Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page two, 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud
is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the directors.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our Report of the Auditors to the related disclosures in the financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our Report of the Auditors. However, future events or conditions may cause the
company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our
audit.

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.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Functional currency
The financial statements are prepared in sterling (£). The functional currency of the company is sterling (£).

Going concern
The directors issued a notice on 17 October 2018 stating the intention of the company to close the business and
after an extended closure period it ceased trading on the 30 November 2019 and therefore is no longer a going
concern. Provisions have been made in respect of contracts which have become onerous at the reporting date

consider that any other adjustments are necessary.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Stokes Group Limited as an individual company and do not
contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 400
of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Significant judgements and estimates
Preparation of the financial statements require management to make significant judgements and estimates. The
items included in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include:

Stock provision
At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. Management uses their judgement in assessing
whether stocks are impaired and how much impairment loss to record, based on their knowledge of trading
conditions in the market and past experience.

Bad debt provision
A specific provision is made at each period end date based on management knowledge of the customer base

Useful economic life of fixed assets
The useful economic life of fixed assets used in the production process is an estimate significant to the financial
statements. Management regularly reviews the lives of assets and their residual values in line with business
development.

Classification of dies and tooling
The Company recognises these items as stock due to the maintenance processes that are used to return the
dilapidated dies and tooling back to a new condition. The Company decided that due to the processes involved,
and the length of the life of the tooling, holding these assets as current assets was more appropriate than
recognising them elsewhere in the Statement of Financial Position.

Recoverability of deferred tax assets
Management estimation is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised,
based upon likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with an assessment of the effect of future tax
planning strategies.

Turnover
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the Company in respect of goods and services supplied during the
year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts. Turnover is recognised on the delivery of products to
customers.

Goodwill
Goodwill is the difference between amounts paid on the acquisition of a business and the fair value of the
identifiable assets and liabilities. It is amortised to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over its estimated
economic life.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Land and buildings - 2% on cost
Plant and machinery etc - 33% on cost, 10% on cost and Equally over the lease term

Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are measured at cost less accumulated impairment

Stocks
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net reaslisable value. Cost is determined on a
"first in first out" basis after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct
costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH DECEMBER 2019

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial
assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third
parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period
for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is
recognised in profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an
asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective
interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss
is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference
between an asset's carrying amount and the best estimate, which is an approximation, of the amount that the
company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when
there is an 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.

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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the
statement of financial position 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.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the
statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of
exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the
operating result.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets.
Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter or the lease term and heir useful lives. Assets
acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially
all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the Company. 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period,

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.

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation at the reporting date as a
result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of
the obligation can be reliably estimated.

Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting
date.

Impairment of non financial assets
At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like goodwill and plant, property and
equipment, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an
indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any asset or group of related assets, which is the
higher of value in use and the fair value less cost to sell, is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If
the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an
impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Inventories are also assessed for impairment at each reporting date. The carrying amount of each item of
inventory, or group of similar items, is compared with its selling price less costs to complete and sell. If an item of
inventory or group of similar items is impaired, its carrying amount is reduced to selling price less costs to
complete and sell, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or group of related assets is
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or group of related assets in prior periods. A
reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

6. EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS

Following the decision of the company's owners, Mahindra CIE Automotive Limited, in November 2018 to close
the UK operations expected future cost of £4,656,484 were included in the financial statements last year. This
year the directors have reviewed the closure provision and have adjusted their estimates of anticipated losses
associated with the dissolution of the company by £1,169,596.

The effect on the results reported in these financial statements following the adjustment to these costs, which
includes those related to non trading events, is to remove the loss reported from £1,082,867 before the
inclusion of these adjustments. The effect on the Balance Sheet is to increase the net assets to £12,827 from a
net liabilities position of £1,070,040 before inclusion of these adjustments.

The directors consider the company is no longer a going concern and therefore have made the adjustments they
consider necessary, as described in note 3 of these financial statements.
