| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| During this trading period, 2023-2024 we have continued to build on the same foundation of success that had been growing since our formation. As we have specialized in providing bespoke maintenance and complete refurbishment services to the Social Housing Sector, our services are in great demand as it is more and more difficult to address what is currently deemed as a Housing Chrises. |
| Despite having a small client base, we have managed to maintain and increase the competitiveness of our rates despite very challenging market conditions. By continually liaising with our Supply Chain, through collaboration and strategic planning, we have managed to establish sustainable resourcing strategies that have paid off. We have managed to maintain our margins and to provide our Clients with very competitive rates and a Quality Service Second to None! |
| One of the pillars of our excellent performance is formed by our Staff! Through continuous assessment and improvement of their performance, designated professional development plans and competitive packages, we have managed to attract and retain highly qualifies professionals! While our Site Performance is and has been Excellent, our Customer Care skills, Communication and "Can Do Attitude" remain Second to None! |
| Our Commercial Performance during this trading period has been solid. We have managed to increase the Turnover, maintain and slightly increase the margins, self-finance the business without external loans or mortgages and consolidate a solid base for future growth. |
| We have applied the same strong business ethic that is being periodically audited and certified under the existent ISO Certification Schemes. We have been found Compliant and Exceeding the current regulation in all aspect of our activity. The results speak for themselves. Our Clients feedback is Excellent and the reoccurring business from all of them is proof that our services remain relevant and our performance is solid. |
| Benefits of a large operatives and managers database and having a loyal and highly experience workforce, we have successfully managed to anticipate and fulfill our Clients' expectations. |
| In an industry known for the dramatic delays incurred in the payment process, we have achieved "the unachievable" reducing our Debtor Days to under 50 and Creditor's Days to under 30! |
| Our ICT system has also been one of our success factors as it has the ability to fully integrate with most Industry Leading Software and provide an instant and fault-proof transfer of information and data in line with the governmental guidelines and regulations. All the previous "paperwork" had been replaced by digitalized solutions making our workforce and management, stakeholders into the new digital era. |
| Unfortunately, despite our best endeavors, the Future remains uncertain. |
| The current Conflicts in Europe and elsewhere are affecting our ability to predict and forecast our desired outcome for the next period. Inflation, budgetary constrains and various other onerous fiscal provisions corroborated with a drastic increase in Government Expenditure in various other Departments but Housing is making it really difficult to provide our Clients with the Cost Certainty they need. |
| The current Government ambition to Build 1 mil Homes (or more!) by the end of this Parliament may prove to be the vehicle that would enable our Industry to move forward after many years of stagnation or recession but nothing is certain! |
| As we service the needs of Local Government ( Councils and Housing Association) we are somewhat sheltered from the other challenges that our Industry at large is facing and by Providing Essential Maintenance and Repairs Service to over 50.000 properties we believe that our Business Strategy and Plan is still sustainable and achievable. |

| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 |

The management of Buildtrust Limited recognised the fast changing situation and adhere to it. With all of its resources to keep moving the business. |
| We draw your attention to the notes of the financial statements, which describes the Company's assessment of the COVID-19 impact on its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company have explained that the events arising from the COVID-19 outbreak do not impact its use of the going concern basis of preparation nor do they cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| The spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) is having a disrupting effect on global markets, staffing, supply chains, and general business operations. Whilst the outbreak was initially focussed in China, it has spread across a significant number of countries worldwide. |

| USE OF ESTIMATES ABD JUDGEMENTS |
| The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the statutory requirements of the Financial Reporting Standards 102 (applicable to medium size entities) and with those parts of the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under FRS102. These financial statements which have been prepared under the historical cost convention requires from Management the exercise of judgement, to make estimates and assumptions that influence the application of accounting principles and the related amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are deemed to be reasonable based on knowledge available at that time. Actual results may deviate from such estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are revised on a continuous basis. Revisions in accounting estimates are recognised in the period during which the estimate is revised, if the estimate affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects the present as well as future periods. |
| Functional and presentation currency |
| The financial statements are presented in the Great British Pound (GBP/£) which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company |
| Significant Accounting Policies |
| The following accounting policies have been applied consistently for all the years presented in these financial statements and in stating the financial position of the Company. |
| Finance income |
| Finance income includes loan interest income which is recognised based on an accrual basis and foreign exchange differences. |
| Finance expenses |
| Interest expense and other borrowing costs are recognised to profit or loss using the effective interest method. |
| Foreign currency translation |
| (i) Functional and presentation currency |

| BUILDTRUST LIMITED (Registered number: 06709217) |
| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| a) Financial risk management objectives and policies of the company including the policy for hedging each major type of forecasted transaction for which hedge accounting is used; and |
| b) The exposure of the company to price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk; unless such information is not material for the assessment of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the company. |
| Financial risk factors |
| The Company is exposed to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: |
| " Credit risk" |
| " Liquidity risk" |
| " Market risk" |
| The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the |
| Company's risk management framework. |
| The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. |
| (i) Credit risk |
| Credit risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at the reporting date. The Company tries to sell on so-called "Cash against documents" terms, but in case of a delay in payment, a Buyer's credit risk is always insured. |
| (ii) Liquidity risk |
| Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The Company has procedures with the object of minimising such losses as maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets and by having available an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. |
| (iii) Market risk |
| Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. |
| Interest rate risk. |
| Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market |
| interest rates. Borrowings issues at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company's management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly. |
| Sensitivity analysis |
| Any increase/(decrease) in interest rates will have a small effect on results and equity of the Company, because, all financial instruments are fixed rate or pegged to LIBOR/EURIBOR with fixed margin. Strengthening or weakening against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit/loss and other equity. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. |
| Currency risk |
| Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Company's functional currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the American Dollar, the Euro and Singapore dollar. The Company's management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly. |
| FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
| The company does not use derivatives. |
| A description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the company are set out in the notes to the accounts. |

| DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 director is 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 he 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. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, CAS MCGEE LTD, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| BUILDTRUST LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of BUILDTRUST LIMITED (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, 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 March 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Emphasis of matter |
| We draw your attention to notes of the financial statements, which describes the Company's assessment of the COVID-19 impact on its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company have explained that the events arising from the COVID-19 outbreak do not impact its use of the going concern basis of preparation nor do they cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our opinion is not modified in this respect. |
| Other information |
| The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| BUILDTRUST LIMITED |
| 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 Director 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 Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| 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 Director. |
| 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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of director |
| As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page nine, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| BUILDTRUST 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: |
| We obtained an understanding of the company and the sector in which it operates to identify laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct effect on the financial statements. We obtained our understanding in this regard through discussions with management, industry research and application of cumulative audit knowledge. |
| We determined the principal laws and regulations relevant to the company in this regard to be those arising from the Companies Act 2006, Financial Reporting Standards 102 "The Financial Reporting Standards 102 applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland." |
| We designed our audit procedures to ensure the audit team considered whether there are any indications of non-compliance by the company with those laws and regulations. These procedures included, but were not limited to enquiries of management and review of minutes. |
| We also identified the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements due to fraud. We considered, in addition to the non-rebuttable presumption of a risk of fraud arising from management override of controls, that potential for management bias, none of these were identified during our audit work. We have addressed this by examining and reviewing post year end sales and post year end cash book transactions and discussions made with the management. |
| As in all of our audits, we addressed the risk of fraud arising from management override of controls by performing audit procedures which included, but were not limited to: the testing of journals,; reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
| 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 regulations. 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 occuring 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 Report of the Auditors. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| BUILDTRUST LIMITED |
| 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. |

Costs include the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, dismantling and restoration costs. |
| Plant and machinery and fixtures, fittings and equipment: |
| Plant and machinery and fixtures, fittings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
| 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 is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
| 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. |

| 28. | GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION |
| The Company's management does not see a severe impact of COVID-19 outbreak to its activity. The Company tested the financial impact on the following areas of financial statements that can be affected: |
| - Breach of trade contracts |
| - Revenue |
| - Cost of sales |
| - Expenditure |
| - Inventories fair value measurements |
| - Debt repayment |
| 29. | DISCLOSURE OF RISKS |
| Brexit |
| The Company need to continue to assess the nature and extent of risks and uncertainties arising from Brexit. The UK and EU are still within negotiations as to how the future trading relationship will operate after the transition period has ended. The conclusion of those discussions and subsequent agreements may impact on the future performance and position of the business including its solvency, liquidity and going concern. As such, appropriate disclosures should be given as part of the reporting requirements within the Strategic Report/Directors' Report. |
| Coronavirus |
| The spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) is having a disrupting effect on global markets, staffing, supply chains, and general business operations. Whilst the outbreak was initially focussed in China, it has spread across a significant number of countries worldwide. |
| As such, the Company should assess the nature and extent of risks and uncertainties arising from the coronavirus. In doing so, the Company should consider what disclosures should be included within the Strategic Report/Directors' Report, where relevant. |
| It is important to remember that the disclosures needed in the Strategic Report/Directors' Report are likely to change over time as new information comes to light. |
| The ongoing Russia-Ukraine Conflict |
| The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has resulted in going concern becoming a significant risk. The United States and Europe have avoided direct military conflict with Russia amid its conflict with Ukraine. They have however used a set of financial sanctions to limit Russia's access to financial resources. The impact of the sanctions may result in difficulties for the company to operate. Neither Buildtrust Limited nor the owners are currently on the sanctions list at the time of this report, however this may change as the situation changes. |

| 30. | IMPAIRMENT OF FIXED ASSETS |
| At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset. the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
| Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing. value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. |
| If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. |
| Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. |
| 31. | CLIMATE CHANGES AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES |
| Due to the nature of the entity's operational activities there's no exposure to significant environmental risks. |
| Despite the fact that our organisation offering building and property maintenance services, we are always considering the environmental sustainability. Future business performance will be impacted by our ability to effectively manage the transition to a low carbon economy balancing commercial decisions with the environmental responsibility, agreeing business-wide decarbonisation priorities, and managing changes in customer preferences. |
| This includes management of the increasing costs associated with sustainable materials, recycling carbon pricing and further technological, policy and regulatory interventions. |
| We are operating in a world and a sector with high pressure from carbon-conscious customers, government bodies and regulators to operate in a more environmentally conscious manner. To respond to the circular economy, waste reduction and low carbon products and use of a recycled parts and related components. |
