STRATEGIC REPORT
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023


The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The principal activity of the company throughout the year has continued to be that of a none trading holding company. Its subsidiary is the manufacturer of pre-packed solvents, woodcare products, fillers, wallcovering adhesives and many other products associated with the home improvement industry.

The subsidiary adapted well to the challenging market conditions throughout 2023 despite challenges due to the cost of living crisis continuing to affect major customers.

An additional cash facility remained available throughout 2023 however, the initial provision in the winter months was repaid to investors during 2023.

Management have focused on the recovery of inflationary driven cost prices and margins to pre-pandemic levels. Raw material impacts have been mitigated by sourcing via multiple suppliers

Despite the macro-economic challenges the company continues to improve its position within key customers and new market segments. The directors consider the position of the subsidiary at the end of the year to be positive.

The directors believe that the key risks facing the company by virtue of its subsidiary holding include:

o uncertainty of macro-economic events impacting supply;
o unpredictable supply availability and cost price impacts of raw materials remains a concern;
o uncertainty in household incomes due to the continued cost of living crisis; and
o market sector growth rate predictions remain flat.

In managing the business the directors have established controls to enable them to respond to and mitigate the impact of such risks.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, 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), 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 and then apply them consistently;
-make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-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 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.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023


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.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:



P A Robbins - Director


6 September 2024

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
BARTOLINE INVESTMENTS LIMITED


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Bartoline Investments Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity 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 31 December 2023 and of its result 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
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.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and 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 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.

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 Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
BARTOLINE INVESTMENTS LIMITED


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 Strategic Report or 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.

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

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
BARTOLINE INVESTMENTS LIMITED


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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.

However, in identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

- the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;

- we also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework, FRS 102, the Companies Act 2006 and the relevant tax laws and regulations in the UK. In addition, we concluded that there are certain significant laws and regulations which may have an effect on the determination of the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, relating in majority to general health and safety, quality control and employee matters;

- we reviewed results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities; and assessed how the entity identifies, evaluates and complies with laws and regulations and whether management were aware of any instances of non-compliance. We corroborated our enquiries through our review of board minutes and consideration of the results of our audit procedures across the company;

- we also considered how the entity detects and responds to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud, and;

- we considered the controls that the company has established to address risks identified, or that otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud; and how management monitors those controls

- the internal controls established to mitigate risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations were also investigated.

- we also considered the existence of performance targets and their potential influence on management to manage earnings.

- where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk.
These procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error.

We reviewed financial statement disclosures and performed testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

We also tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. There was a focus on manual journals and journals indicating large or unusual transactions; enquiries of company management; and challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management by reviewing third party evidence wherever possible.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
BARTOLINE INVESTMENTS LIMITED


The results of our procedures did not identify any instances or irregularities, including fraud.

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 Report of the Auditors.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Bartoline Investments Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated and domiciled in England. It has its registered office and principal place of business at Bartoline, Barmston Close, Beverley, England, HU17 0LW

The principal activity of the company is that of a holding company.

The presentational currency of the financial statements is Pound Sterling (£).

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern

The directors have considered the present macro-economic environment including the impact of challenges within the oil and gas market and the continued cost of living crisis when preparing their assessment. The directors have considered the potential impact on more immediate market opportunities, supply chain impacts and customers. Despite a level of market uncertainty, the directors are confident and have concluded; that the business is sufficiently prepared to deliver a strong performance.

Part of the business's preparation has been to continue to invest in management talent and operational process. The directors have assessed possible changes in trading performance and have concluded that the business will be able to continue to meet its obligations and continues to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

The subsidiary's financial forecasts, taking into consideration the current environment, show that the company is expected to continue generate cashflows that give the company the ability to continue to operate for the foreseeable future.

Future sales into 2025 are looking strong due to the full year impact of projects commenced in 2024 now being factored into 2025 figures. The directors have not relied on a material shift in the market place to ensure strong performance and are therefore confident on the validity of their forecasts.

Based on these facts and the current financial position, forecasts and cash flows of the subsidiary and group, the directors have concluded it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":

the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
the requirement of paragraph 33.7.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Bartoline Investments 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 subsidiary undertaking are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, Bartoline (Holdings) Limited, Bartoline, Barmston Close, Beverley, England, HU17 0LW.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment.

Financial assets, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that have occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

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 balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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.

Related parties
For the purposes of these financial statements, a party is considered to be related to the Company if:

(i) the party has the ability, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, to control the Company or exercise significant influence over the company in making financial and operating policy decisions, or has joint control over the Company;

(ii) the Company and the party are subject to common control;

(iii) the party is an associate of the Company or a joint venture in which the Company is a venture

(iv) the party is a member of key management personnel of the Company or the Company's parent, or a close family member of such an individual, or is an entity under the control, joint control or significant influence of such individuals;

(v) the party is a close family member of a party referred to in 9i0 or is an entity under the control, joint control or significant influence of such individuals; or

(vi) the party is a post-employment benefit plan which is for the benefit of employees of the Company or of any entity that is a related party of the Company.

(vii) the party, or any member of a group of which it is part, provides key management personnel services to the company or its parent.
