STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Directors present their Strategic Report for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Overall, the Company has had another excellent year, achieving an increase in turnover of 11% to £40.26m, and pre-tax profits in excess of £4m.
The Builders’ Merchant business has continued significant sales growth of 21% as a result of high demand in the industry despite supply chain constraints surrounding COVID-19 and Brexit. The Plumbline was affected by lockdowns due to COVID-19 in the first half of the year, with showrooms being closed. However, trading performance in the second half of the year was strong. Pear Stairs sales were affected by lockdowns due to COVID-19 with the department closed for a month and staff furloughed. Timber costs have significantly increased during the year. However demand for products remains strong. Pear Stairs has been significantly invested in during the year and further growth is anticipated. The Company's property portfolio continues to contribute a significant level of profit. The Company has invested in additional commercial properties during the year and tenants are already secured. The Company's Balance Sheet shows an increase in net assets of £3.1m. Fixed assets increased by £4.1m due to trading and investment property being purchased during the year. Earnings have been invested back into the business. The Company's liquidity remains very healthy, and Net Current Assets have remained at over £5m.
The risks facing the Company is constantly monitored and assessed. The Company’s business activities, financial condition and trading results could be affected by any or all of the following risks and uncertainties:
General business conditions and economy The Directors are of the opinion that the principal risks facing the Company relate to the wider economic conditions which influence raw material cost, and the demand for its products. The Company seeks to manage these risks by maintaining an appropriate spread of market segments and product ranges, a broad supplier base and robust production systems. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy as a whole during 2020 and 2021, and the UK continues to be affected by supply chain issues as a result of the pandemic. The Company continues to react to changes in trading conditions as a result of changing Government guidance. There continues to be supply chain issues and delays with goods coming into the UK as a result of the UK leaving the EU. Information Systems The Company is reliant upon a number of business systems which, if disrupted for any length of time due to damage or interruption from loss of power, failure of telecommunications, sabotage or vandalism, could have an adverse effect on the efficient running of the Company's business.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Health and Safety
In common with all manufacturing businesses, the factory environment exposes the Company to Health and Safety risks. The Directors take the Health and Safety of its employees and any third party on its sites very seriously and are mindful of Health and Safety regulatory compliance. Consequently, they have in place stringent policies and procedures which are appropriately communicated and monitored by a designated Health and Safety Officer. The Directors are proud of the Company’s excellent Health and Safety record.
The Balance Sheet of the business remains strong, and operating profits have increased over the period. The Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and associated notes (as detailed on the following pages) adequately show the development, performance and position of the Company during the year and at the Balance Sheet date.
The Company measures its financial performance and position by reference to Key Performance Indicators (KPI's). The sales, gross profit and bank balances are monitored daily. The profit before tax is reviewed monthly.
The Company uses a suite of non-financial KPI's to monitor and measure success on a weekly basis. These KPI's cover the whole business operating spectrum and reflect the changing needs of the business over time.
The Company has a policy to protect the environment wherever it operates or whenever it sources materials, with KPI's being used to measure the proportion of timber purchased from forests that are well managed environmentally according to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Standards.
S172(1) of the Companies Act sets out the duties of each Director of a company to act in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of shareholders as a whole and in doing so, have regard to a number of broader matters which are set out below:
a) the likely consequences of any decision in the long term; b) the interest of the Company's employees; c) the need to foster the Company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others; d) the impact of the Company's operations on the community and environment; e) the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and f) the need to act fairly between members of the Company. The success of the business depends on the trust and confidence of our stakeholders in the ability of the business to operate sustainably both now and in the longer term. The Company seeks to generate sustainable profits and to do so fairly prioritises the interests of our customers, employees, key suppliers and other identified stakeholders. The Directors have acted in accordance with their legal duties, which include a duty to act in the way in which they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the business for the benefit of its shareholders, whilst having regard to all of our stakeholders and the matters set out in a) to f) above. Boys and Boden Limited were established in 1895 as a sawmill and evolved over the years to meet the needs of customers; providing products for the building and plumbing trades and DIY. The Company is proud of its long history and its record of providing secure employment over many years.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 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 for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙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 to 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.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £3,333,600 (2020 - £1,634,997).
A final dividend of £30,866 in respect of the year ended 31 March 2021 was paid during the year (2020: £30,530).
The Directors who served during the year were:

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The reporting period that this submission covers is 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021.
We have followed the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting & Reporting Standard. We have used data collected specifically for the purpose of SECR reporting. We have used the 2020 UK Conversion Factors for Company Reporting. Emissions data is based on Operational control and is as follows: 
During the year the Company consumed 1,107,095 kWh of energy in relation to the combustion of gas and 2,844,946 kWh for the purposes of transport.
Intensity Ratio
The intensity ratio chosen was tCO2 per employee. For this reporting period total employees were 252. As a result, the intensity metric for the period equated to 5.3 tCO2 per employee. This was chosen as it was deemed to be the best metric to reflect changes in the business. As this is the first year of reporting, there are no figures available for the previous year.
Energy Efficiency Actions
The Company is committed to installing energy saving measures in branches and reducing energy use. Energy efficient LED lighting is being installed in all branches to replace the current lighting systems. During the year installation has taken place in our Shrewsbury branch, with installations planned in the other branches throughout 2021. Currently the Company has 400 kWp of rooftop solar pv installed across the branches. There are plans to invest in a further 250 kWp in 2021.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BOYS & BODEN LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Boys & Boden Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 March 2021, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 BOYS & BODEN 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BOYS & BODEN 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 audit team obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the Company and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework (FRS102 and the Companies Act 2006), the relevant tax compliance regulations, employment law, Health and Safety Regulations and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We understood how the Company is complying with these frameworks by making enquiries of management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures. We also reviewed board minutes to identify any recorded instances of irregularity or non compliance that might have a material impact on the financial statements. We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by meeting with key management to understand where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud. Based on our understanding our procedures involved enquiries of management and those charged with governance, manual journal entry testing, cashbook reviews for large and unusual items and the challenge of significant accounting estimates used in preparing the financial statements.
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 MARCH 2021
The principal activities of the Company during the year were that of timber and builders merchants, staircase manufacturers, plumbing merchants, and showrooms. The Company operates in England and Wales and is a private company limited by shares and is incorporated and domiciled in the UK. The address of its registered office is Mill Lane, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 7BL.
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 judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading performance, show that the Company is expected to operate within the levels of its current facilities.
After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. The Directors have also assessed the potential impact on the future operations of the Company with regard to the COVID-19 outbreak. The Company is considered to be well positioned given the current environment with no impact on the going concern basis of the financial statements.

At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
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.
Trading property is no longer depreciated, as the Directors believe these are being carried at residual value. These accounts include a depreciation charge only for property improvements.
Assets that are subject to depreciation are assessed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication that the assets are impaired. Where there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset has been allocated) is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised as the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's (or CGU's) fair value less costs to sell, and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGU's).
Non-financial assets that have been previously impaired are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to assess whether there is any indication that the impairment losses recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or may have ceased.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by the Directors on an open market value for existing use basis, supported from time to time, at the discretion of the Directors, by external valuers on an appropriate basis. Fair value is determined annually by the Directors and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance Sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. In the opinion of the Directors there are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to the activity of timber and builders merchants, staircase manufacturers, plumbing merchants, and showrooms.
