STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
As a leading independent builders merchant the Company continues to supply building materials to the construction industry and the general public.
During 2023 the Company changed buying groups. The directors see this move as extremely positive.
Turnover was held at the same level as the previous year. Continuing inflationary pressures on both material prices and overheads, meant that the profit levels before tax were reduced to 4.8% of revenue. However, the directors are confident that the changes made in 2023 will lay the foundations for growth and improved profits in the coming year, in spite of challenging market conditions. The directors remain committed to continual investment in the business, developing its premises and updating its fleet of vehicles. The Company is committed to the Real Living Wage and to ensuring that it’s offering to staff remains both competitive and attractive. The directors will continue to keep a tight control on costs and monitor the performance of the Company against forecasts and industry benchmarks.
Operational risk
The Company has good reporting systems and produces timely and accurate management information which is regularly reviewed by the directors and stakeholders. Price risk The Company is exposed to downward pressure on margins as a result of operating in a competitive market, however it continues to seek improvements and efficiencies. Credit risk The Company’s primary credit risk is its trade debtors. This risk is managed by maintaining a strict credit control policy. Prior to granting credit the Company carries out appropriate checks with credit agencies and also has a credit insurance policy to cover larger exposures. The amounts presented in the Balance Sheet are net of provisions for doubtful debts estimated by the Company’s management based on prior experience and their assessment of the current economic environment. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk with exposure spread over a large number of customers. Trade creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due. Liquidity risk The Company’s policy has been to ensure continuity of funding through acquiring major fixed assets via financing where appropriate. In addition the Company has sufficient banking facilities in place to meet current and future working capital requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PAGETS BUILDERS MERCHANTS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of PAGETS BUILDERS MERCHANTS LIMITED (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows 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 PAGETS BUILDERS MERCHANTS 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.

PAGETS BUILDERS MERCHANTS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PAGETS BUILDERS MERCHANTS 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:
∙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;
∙enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
∙considering relationships with HMRC, relevant regulators and the Company’s legal advisors;
∙reviewing minutes of meeting of management and directors;
∙reviewing incident log to identifiy any breaches and problems; and
∙reviewing the Company's risk register to identify key risk areas.
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. 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the same period as the related expenditure. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income. Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that: The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer's interest in the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings over its useful economic life.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
Amortisation is provided on the following bases:
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows.
The depreciation rates used are:
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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The company has taken advantage of the transitional provision in paragraph 35.10 (d) of FRS 102 to use the previous GAAP revaluation of freehold property as its deemed cost at the revaluation date. Hence freehold property is no longer stated under the revaluation model, but is deemed to be measured under the cost model as described in section 17 of FRS 102.
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as bank and cash balances, trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to and from related parties.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at the transaction price and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance sheet 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have had the greatest level of uncertainty are addressed below: (i) Impairment of debtors The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. There were no such provisions in the current year.

As permitted by FRS 102, freehold land and buildings were measured at fair value on the date of transition to FRS 102 and this fair value has been used as deemed cost of this asset as at that date. As the asset depreciated, an appropriate transfer is made from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.
