STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 OCTOBER 2023
The directors present their strategic report on the Company for the year ended 29 October 2023.
The results for the Company are set out in the profit and loss account on page 8 and they show a profit before tax of £57,000 (2022: loss before tax of £620,000) for the year and turnover of £4,042,000 (2022:£2,187,000).
Pinelog continues to actively seek to recruit skilled and semi-skilled trades to supplement its existing team in order to increase production capacity in its new home. This will allow it to both cater for the needs of external customers and also provide updated replacement Pinelodges for its sister company’s holiday parks.
The key business risks affecting the Company in the post COVID-19 pandemic world are the Cost of Living Crisis and the ongoing challenges in recruitment and the procurement of materials. Price inflation has been dramatic for certain commodities, and we have been subjected to large increases in energy costs.
General UK economic conditions are always of concern as they impact upon the markets for timber leisure buildings, be they for use as second homes or short term holiday destinations. The long-term effect of increases in the National Living Wage continues to be a concern to the business.
A summary of the key financial performance indicators for the year to 29 October 2023 is as follows:
- Turnover increased 85% to £4m. - Operating profit increased to £54,000. - EBITDA increased to £152,000 from a loss of £576,000 in the previous year.
This report was approved by the board on 11 March 2024 and signed on its behalf.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PINELOG LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of (the 'Company') for the year ended 29 October 2023, which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Balance Sheet, 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 PINELOG LIMITED (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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PINELOG LIMITED (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:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
∙the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙through discussions with the directors and other management and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sectors that the company operates in, we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company; and
∙focusing on the specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, we assessed the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting relevant correspondence.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
∙making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
∙considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
∙performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
∙considered journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
∙assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
∙investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
∙agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
∙reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
∙enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
∙reviewing any correspondance with HMRC, relevant regulators and the Company's legal advisors.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PINELOG LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 OCTOBER 2023
Pinelog Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered office is Darwin Forest Country Park, Darley Moor, Two Dales, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4 5PL and its registered number is 02587185.
2.Accounting policies
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 judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling and have been rounded to thousands.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
∙the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
∙the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
∙the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.
This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Pinelog Group Limited as at 29 October 2023 and these financial statements may be obtained from the registered office.
The directors have carefully considered the likely effect of the war in Europe and the Cost of Living Crisis on the Company’s future financial performance and have prepared financial projections thereon. As a result, the directors have concluded that the Company will have sufficient working capital to settle its’ liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and on this basis it is therefore appropriate that they are prepared on a going concern basis.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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 (except where stated).
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
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.
Long-term contract balances are included in the balance sheet at the value of turnover less the value of progress payments certified and receivable. Where turnover exceeds progress payments the net balance is included in debtors as amounts recoverable on contracts; where progress payments exceed turnover the net balance is included in current liabilities as payments on account.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 OCTOBER 2023
The useful economic lives and residual values of tangible fixed assets, which have been calculated based on their experience of the industry. At each reporting date, assets held as stock 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. Revenue from construction contracts is recognised so as to ensure that an appropriate level of profit is recognised based on the stage of completion of the contract. Profit is only recognised once a final forecast profit on a contract can be reliably estimated. Where a contract is expected to be loss making, that loss is recognised in full. Key assumptions are made regarding the stage of completion, future costs to complete and the collectability of billings on construction contracts.
