THORPE'S JOINERY LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03261375)

STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024


The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31st October 2024.

The Company's principal activity is the manufacture and fitting of bespoke joinery within the commercial fit-out industry.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Thorpes Joinery have continued to operate primarily in the high-end office fit-out market and have an established standing in the marketplace with we believe opportunity to grow.

After growth of turnover in our previous trading year, 2024 proved to be slightly disappointing with a drop in turnover, but this was the only negative in what was a very positive year. The first half trading year (November '23 to April '24) proved to be slow on sales as well as being unsuccessful on a few projects we hoped to secure, but we saw a pickup as 2024 progressed however were unable to reach our turnover level of 2023.

At what remained a very competitive market we continued to strengthen and develop our business and team for the future, and it was very pleasing to see a strong understanding and controls in place to increase our operating margins. This resulted in an acceptable financial performance for our 2024 financial year.

Looking forward to 2025 our order book is considerably stronger than the corresponding time for 2024 and we are confident this will lead to strong growth. This will come with challenges, but importantly many opportunities and we are confident that decisions made in the previous couple of years as a company will enable us to achieve our goals.

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
We continue to place heavy reliance upon a variety of financial performance indicators which include the monitoring of the sales order book, a revised production planning look ahead schedule, gross margin, cash and overall profitability within the Company.

The Company's turnover for the year ending 31st October 2024 was £14,217k (2023: £17,010k) being a decrease of 16.4%. We are confident in the order book looking forward which currently shows future sales to 2024.

The profit for the year before taxation was £866k (2023: £1,031k).

The target for the next financial year is to build on the improvement that has happened during 2023 and continue to improve profitability.

Group KPI's £'000 2024 2023
Turnover £14,217 £17,010
Gross Profit £4,436 £4,210
Gross Profit % 31.2% 24.8%
Profit/(Loss) Before Tax £866 £1,031
Net Assets £2,812 £2,218

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
There is no doubt the uncertainties in the global world have an unsettling affect and bring risks to our market as with all other sectors. This is not to say we are over concerned but it is important that we are aware.

Costs whether it be material, overhead and labour continue to rise and put pressure on margins. In what is a competitive market it is important to remain realistic on prices and not chase turnover, a road that as a company we will not be taking.

In terms of delivering Projects, the expectations and demands by the market continue to grow. It is important that we are aware and continue to develop as a business to meet these expectations and are confident we have developed to move forward with confidence.


THORPE'S JOINERY LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03261375)

STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

FUTURE ACTIVITIES
We realise that it has been a challenging few years for the company, and this has tested the Company's resolve, but having now returned to profitability will now go from strength to strength. Continual review of internal procedures and processes, maximising synergies to become more efficient will drive profitability.

The Company is very much looking forwards now and investing for the future, through plant and machinery, development of staff and building a management team that can continue to drive the business forwards. The Company is also committed to maintaining its FSC, FORS, Considerate Constructors and Construction Line Platinum accreditations and working towards attaining ISO 14001.

In January 2024 the Company installed Ecogate which is an intelligent bolt on to the extraction system which reduces power when machines aren't working. This is expected to reduce energy consumption by 25%.

We believe that the outlook for the Company over the next few years is an exciting one. We realise there will be challenges ahead but are positive our goals are realistic and can be achieved.

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). 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.

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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
THORPE'S JOINERY LIMITED


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Thorpe's Joinery Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 October 2024 which comprise the Statement of 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 October 2024 and of its profit 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
THORPE'S JOINERY 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 four, 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
THORPE'S JOINERY 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:

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. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with ISA's (UK).

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company and industry in which it operates through our general commercial experience. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: FRS 102, Companies Act 2006 and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK. In addition, we concluded that there are certain laws and regulations that may have an effect in the determination of the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements such as health and safety and employee related matters.

We enquired of management concerning the company's policies and procedures relating to:

- the identification and compliance with laws and regulations
- the detection and response to the risks of fraud
- the internal controls inherent within the company to mitigate fraud risk and non-compliance to laws and regulations

We enquired of management, whether they were aware of any instance of non-compliance with laws and regulations or whether they had any knowledge of actual, suspected or alleged fraud.

We communicated relevant laws and regulations and potential areas of fraud to all audit team members including the potential for fraud in revenue recognition through the manipulation of costs incurred on contracts. We remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

We have determined that the principal risk areas where material irregularities could occur were related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, revenue recognition, valuation of amounts recoverable on contracts and significant one-off or unusual transactions.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond in particular to these identified risks (including non compliance with laws and regulations and fraud).

Our audit procedures included but were not limited to:

- A review of laws and regulations the company is subject to, followed by compliance checks and discussion with management to ensure no instances of non compliance.

- Identifying and testing journal entries, on a sample basis, to review for potential management bias or manipulation of revenue recognition.

- A review of a sample of sales invoices in the year and detailed cut off testing around the year end to ensure revenue is recorded accurately and recognised in the correct period.

- A review of a sample of projects in progress at the year end to ensure the valuation of amounts recoverable on contract is accurate and to confirm costs associated with projects in progress are recoverable.


REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
THORPE'S JOINERY LIMITED

We did not identify any matters during the course of our work that indicated non-compliance with laws and regulations or relating to 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.

Significant judgements and estimates

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for sales of services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and value added tax, adjusted in accordance with the policy on contract income as described below.

The Company derives a significant proportion of its revenue from the supply of projects under contracts, some of which are fixed price contracts that may extend for a significant period of time. Where the outcome can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent that the services have been performed. Performance is measured based on costs incurred to date as a percentage of total expected costs. Management judgement and experience is required to determine the completeness of those forecasts, the recoverability of the costs incurred and the revenue recognised on contracts. Unforeseen future events may adversely impact the accuracy of those forecasts and recoverability judgements.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Plant and machinery - over 10 years and over 4 years
Fixtures and fittings - over 3 years
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

Stocks
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cost includes all direct expenditure and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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 taxation
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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts of finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
