STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2023.
The principal activity of the company continues to be the import and wholesale supply of architectural ironmongery and hardware goods to the United Kingdom. There has not been any significant change to the company’s activities in the period under review and the directors are not aware at the date of the report of any likely major changes in the company’s activities in the next year.
Trading conditions in the architectural hardware market improved over the course of the year. As a result the company's turnover for the year increased from £16.1 million in 2022 to £17.8 million in 2023, an increase of over 10%. Operating profit for the year was £2.56m up from £2.36m in 2022. Management will continue to focus on expanding sales and profitability through: - a focus on the development and efficient introduction of new products; - continuous investment in product testing to ensure compliance with regulatory standards; - further investment in marketing initiatives to strengthen the company's market profile and expand market share; and - maintaining a tight control of cost and working capital.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the company are as follows:
Foreign exchange risks The majority of the products the company supplies in the UK are imported and as such the company is exposed to movements in the exchange rate between Sterling and other world currencies, particularly the US Dollar. The directors regularly review the company’s economic exposure to exchange rate fluctuations and take action to hedge risks when considered appropriate. Financial risks The company supplies goods to customers on normal credit terms. Trade debtor balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and credit terms for all customers are regularly reviewed. As a consequence, the company’s exposure to bad debts has not been significant. Other financial risks arise on loans and cash balances. The principal sources of finance are through a term loan, import finance and invoice discounting advances with the company’s bank which is secured by a fixed charge over its book debts and a floating charge over its other assets. The company has not entered into any derivative transactions such as interest rate swaps in relation to any borrowings or investments. Commodity prices A material proportion of the cost of the products the company buys is accounted for by the cost of raw materials, principally copper, aluminium, zinc and stainless steel. The prices of these metals have; in recent years, been volatile and the company therefore is exposed to a level of risk and uncertainty relating to the price and availability of supply of these materials. Commercial risk The company is reliant on a limited number of key customers for a significant proportion of its revenue. A loss of any such customer could adversely impact the company's prospects and financial performance. Supply chain The company relies heavily on the import of products from The Far East, principally from China and India. Supply chain disruption is a risk to the company’s operating and financial performance. However, the long-standing relationships with major suppliers and proactive stock management enabled the company to maintain high levels of stock availability. Funding and liquidity risks The company is party to the group’s asset-based funding facility with HSBC which is renewed annually. As a result of a high level of cash generation achieved through efficient working capital and stock management in the year, the company has considerable headroom in these facilities.
The directors focus on the following key performance indicators for the company and performance for the year is summarised compared with the previous year:
Indicator 2023 2022 Turnover (£m) 17.8 16.1 Gross margin (%) 29.7% 27.6% Operating profit (£m) 2.6 2.4 Net (bank) debt (£m) - -

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FRISCO (U.K.) SALES LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Frisco (U.K.) Sales Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, 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 FRISCO (U.K.) SALES 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.

FRISCO (U.K.) SALES LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FRISCO (U.K.) SALES 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:
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we have: • considered the nature of the industry and sectors, control environment and business performance; • made enquires of management about their own identification and assessment of the risk of irregularities; • performed audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; • reviewed minutes of meetings; • undertaken appropriate sample based testing of bank transactions; • identified and evaluated compliance with relevant laws and regulations and made enquiries of any
instances of non-compliance;
• discussed matters among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the
financial statements and potential indicators of 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Frisco (U.K) Sales Limited is a private company limited by shares and registered in England and Wales. The registered office and principal place of business address is Unit 14, Pindar Road, Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, EN11 0DE.
The company's principal activity continued to be the wholesale supply of architectural ironmongery and hardware goods to the UK. These financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), rounded to the nearest £1.
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 judgment in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 3).
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 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
∙the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A;
∙the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.
This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Insignia Investments Limited as at 31 December 2021 and these financial statements may be obtained from Unit 14, Pindar Road, Essex Road, Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, EN11 0DE.
Having reviewed the company's financial forecasts and expected future cash flows, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
The company has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other financial instruments
Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. Critical judgments The following judgments (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. Recognition of a provision for obsolete stock The Directors have decided to recognise a provision in the financial statements in relation to obsolete and damaged stock. The decision to provide was taken on the basis that the sale of this stock above cost is improbable. Key sources of estimation uncertainty The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows. Valuation of land and buildings As detailed in note 13 to the financial statements, land and buildings are stated at fair value based on the valuation performed by an independent professional valuer Gilmartin Ley Chartered Surveyors in February 2022. The valuer used observable market prices adjusted as necessary for any difference in location or condition of the asset. The directors consider the market value has not changed since the date of that valuation.
