STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022
The directors present their strategic report accompanying the financial statements for the year ended 31st January 2022.
The company has seen a 30.59% increase in turnover to £4,059,867 (2021 - £3,108,811) as a result of gaining new customers from competitors who had gone out of business in the year. The pre-tax profits have increased to £254,556 (2021 - £137,676) as a result of maintaining close control over costs and overhead expenditure. The company also benefited from the loss of a low margin customer, allowing them to increase their overall margins.
The results for the year and the financial position at the year-end for the company were considered satisfactory in light of the economic conditions that prevailed in the year under review by the directors who expect continued growth in the foreseeable future. The key objective of the company is the maximisation of profit. The principal strategies in achieving the key objectives are the maximisation of revenue and gross margins by effective cost management. This is achieved by developing and maintaining close relations with key customers. Principal risks and uncertainties The management of the business and execution of the company's strategy are subject to a number of risks. Risks are formally reviewed by the Board and appropriate processes put in place to monitor and mitigate them. The key business risks affecting the company are set out below: Competition The company operates in a highly competitive market particularly around price and product availability/quality. This results in downward pressure on margins. In order to mitigate this risk the commercial team monitor market prices on an ongoing basis and have responsibility for negotiating with suppliers and pricing goods accordingly. An independent complaints bureau is used in the event of any dispute over quality of products supplied to ensure customer satisfaction. Supply chain The company mitigates the risk of product availability through effective supplier selection and procurement practices. Employees The resignation of key individuals and the inability to recruit people with the right experience and skills could adversely affect the company's results. To mitigate these issues the company has a thorough induction and training programme for all employees. It also makes information available to employees through the medium of frequent staff meetings, together with personal appraisals and feedback sessions. Financial risk management Credit risk The company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made. The amount of exposure to any individual customer is subject to a limit, which is reassessed continually by the credit control function and regular review of aged receivable reports.

COLUMBIA FLOORING PLC
STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022
During the year, the company continued to be funded from its established cash reserves. The directors continue to monitor the company's liquidity taking steps, wherever necessary, to ensure that financial obligations and commitments are met as and when they fall due. The company has no exposure to equity securities price risk as it holds no listed or other equity investments.
We consider that our key performance indicators are those that communicate the financial performance and strength of the company as a whole; these being turnover, gross profit margin and net profit.
Given the straight forward nature of the business, the directors are of the opinion that analysis using other KPIs is not necessary for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the business.
The Directors are aware of their duty under s.172 of the Companies Act 2006 to act in the way which they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole and, in doing so, to have regard (amongst other matters) to:
• the likely consequences of any decision in the long term; • the interests of the company’s employees; • the need to foster the company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others; • the impact of the company’s operations on the community and the environment; • the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and • the need to act fairly as between members of the company, (the “s.172(1) Matters”). Each director aims to ensure that their decisions support the company’s reputation and it’s long term objectives, vision and values. The directors have considered the stakeholders of the company. In the directors' opinion the employees, the suppliers and the customer base represent the key stakeholders and the means of engagement have been detailed below: Employees – Given the low number of employees, the directors are able to personally interact with each employee on a regular basis. Customers – The company provides excellent customer service with a wide range of products, a dedicated sales team, a dedicated accounts team, a fully stocked showroom, bespoke designs, a precision cutting service, and fast delivery direct from manufacturers. Suppliers - The company has strong relationships with key suppliers and company policy is to pay suppliers promptly and within the agreed payment terms. The directors recognise the importance of the local community and the environment and where practical has an environmental policy in place which includes the recycling of paper and office materials. The directors believe that the company’s activities have minimal impact on the local community and environment.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2022.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 for the company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments 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 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 to 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.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £205,208 (2021 - £112,085).
The Directors have paid interim dividends for the year totalling 77.00 pence net per Ordinary Share (2021 - 75.00 pence) and 9,700.00 pence net per Ordinary A Share (2021 - 9,600.00 pence). The Directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend on either Ordinary Shares or Ordinary A Shares.
The directors who served during the year were:
Health and safety
The company recognises the importance of safeguarding health, safety and welfare of its employees and has a health and safety policy in place. Regular updates are communicated to all employees.

COLUMBIA FLOORING PLC
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022
The company will continue to grow by developing and maintaining close relations with key customers.
The company's policy for the payment of its suppliers is to agree the payment terms in advance and, provided a supplier performs in accordance with the agreement, to abide by such terms. However, if discount is available for early settlement of invoices, the company will seek to take advantage of this. The ratio, expressed in days, between the amounts invoiced to the company by its suppliers in the year ended 31 January 2022 and the amounts owed to its trade creditors at the end of the year was 15 days (2021 - 18 days).
The company recognises that its commercial activities have the potential to impact on its suppliers and customers. The company has strong relationships with key suppliers and company policy is to pay suppliers promptly and within the agreed payment terms, as evidenced by the creditor days ratio noted above. The company is committed to providing customers with excellent service and its mission is to “put the customer at the heart of everything we do.”
During the year and since the Balance Sheet date the company has had to deal with the coronavirus pandemic and the associated measures that the UK government, customers and suppliers are putting in place to deal with it. While the company will undoubtedly suffer some adverse impact from this in the short term, the directors are confident that the company can work through the temporary disruption and that the business plans are robust even in the current situation.
The auditors, Barnes Roffe LLP, are deemed to be reappointed in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 1985 by virtue of an elective resolution passed by the members on 16 August 2016.
This report was approved by the board on

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COLUMBIA FLOORING PLC
We have audited the financial statements of Columbia Flooring PLC (the 'company') for the year ended 31 January 2022, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, 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).
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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COLUMBIA FLOORING PLC (CONTINUED)
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.
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.

COLUMBIA FLOORING PLC
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COLUMBIA FLOORING PLC (CONTINUED)
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:
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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with law and regulations, was as follows: • The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; • We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussion with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector; • We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006; • We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management, and inspecting legal correspondence and expenditure; and • Laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and during the audit as any further laws and regulation were identified. The audit team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by: • Making enquires of management as to where they consider there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud; • Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and • Our review of financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls we: • Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies; • Inspected and tested journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions; • Assessed whether judgement and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates, including stock provisions, were indicative of management bias; and • Investigated the rationale behind significant transactions, or transactions that are unusual or outside the company’s usual course of business.

COLUMBIA FLOORING PLC
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COLUMBIA FLOORING PLC (CONTINUED)
At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partner’s review included ensuring the audit team had approached their work with the appropriate professional scepticism and this the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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.
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 an Auditors' 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 company and the company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a straight line and reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
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.
At each balance sheet date, 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 profit or loss.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
No significant judgements have been made by the management in the preparation of the financial statements. b) Key accounting estimates and assumptions The company has made key assumptions regarding the useful economic life of tangible fixed assets and this is further described in note 2.6 of the accounting policies. The company holds a significant amount of stock and is subject to changing consumer demands and industry trends. As a result it is necessary to consider the recoverability of the cost of stock and the associated provisioning required. When calculating the stock provision, management considers the nature and condition of the stock, as well as applying assumptions around the anticipated saleability of the stock.
