GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The directors submit their annual Strategic Report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The Group's principal activity is steel stockholding, operating a nationwide network of depots throughout the UK. The company was acquired by Marubeni-Itochu Steel Gmbh part of the Marubeni-Itochu Steel Inc group on 4 October, the Barclay & Mathieson management team have been retained by the business and continue to manage the day to day running of the business, with the new owners appointing new Directors at the acquisition. The acquisition by the large Japanese corporation will provide a very solid base for growing the business over the medium to long term.
Our growth strategy over the past few years has provided a good platform for improved financial performance during 2022 and beyond, through extended geographic coverage, increased processing capabilities and enhanced purchasing power. The business continued to re-invest profits to support our strategy, including new vehicles to reduce the average age of our fleet vehicles, machinery to increase processing capacity across the business. Over the course of the 2022 financial year the business continued to deliver very strong financial results. Turnover increased to 189.9m in 2022 vs £140.8m in 2021. Gross Margins at 26.0% vs prior year at 29.1%. Profits before tax at £14.7m vs prior year of £17.7m. Net Assets at £41.04m vs £45.8m in 2021. The decrease in overall profitability and net assets is a direct result of “one off” re-organisation costs, the overall trading results remain an improvement on the prior year. The Directors are satisfied that the current strategy will continue to deliver through 2023 and beyond. The Group maintains significant headroom in its fully committed banking facilities which are due for renewal in 2023. As a business we continue to improve our service to our customers, our customers come first in everything we do. Our record on service and quality has been excellent as this underpins our strategic business model and pricing.
We consider that our main Key Performance Indicators are underlying trading profit, and levels of stock. These are set out below for the last 2 years:

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The management of the business and the execution of the Group’s strategy are subject to a number of risks.
Price Risk The price of steel fluctuates due to raw material cost and demand. Any tariffs imposed can also impact cost. This is a risk common to all companies operating within the steel industry. The Group’s strategy on this is to maintain a prudent approach to stock levels, actively managing stock using detailed system information to ensure that excess inventory is not carried, whilst also ensuring the stock range covers all our customer requirements. The Group works with a range of suppliers to ensure continuity of supply. UK Market Demand The business had invested in a new reporting system in early 2021, this has been transformational in giving our business managers instant access to trading information. This information has enabled the business to react swiftly to any change in pricing/demand in the UK market. With international growth being driven from our Steel, Plate and Sections business in 2022, and a strategy to accelerate further growth globally during 2023 and beyond, thus reducing our dependency on the UK market. The business has adjusted its procurement activities to mitigate any potential impact from the UK import quota system. Credit and liquidity risk The Group's principal financial assets are trade debtors, the majority of which are fully insured. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with a single counterparty as exposure is spread over a number of counterparties. The Group's principal financial liabilities are its bank loans and trade creditors, which are managed through detailed cash forecasting. Interest rate risk The Group monitors the financial risk of interest rate movements on a regular basis, and the impact rises would have on profitability. Interest rates are expected to rise in the short to medium term, but the Group is well placed to deal with any such increases. Equally, as the Barclay & Mathieson Limited Group integrates within the Marubeni-Itochu Steel Inc. group it will benefit from the strengths of wider organisation Based on the profitable financial results in 2022 and with the continued support of the Group’s bank, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The interests of our customers and suppliers The Group has always believed in keeping good business relationships with customers and suppliers as this is key to ongoing success. The Directors have developed close relationships with key customers and suppliers to ensure that we fully understand each other’s strategies and objectives and are able to support each other in achieving them.

The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £13,009,079 (2021 - £13,525,767).
The directors who served during the year were:
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

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 the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
This section includes our mandatory reporting of energy and greenhouse gas emissions for the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022, pursuant to the Companies (Directors’ Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018, implementing the government’s Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) policy.
Our methodology to calculate our greenhouse gas emissions is based on the 'Environmental Reporting Guidelines: Including streamlined energy and carbon reporting guidance (March 2019)’ issued by DEFRA, using DEFRA's 2022 conversion factors as applicable. In some cases, consumption has been extrapolated from available data or direct comparison made to a comparable period. We report using a financial control approach to define our organisational boundary. We have reported all material emission sources required by the regulations for which we deem ourselves to be responsible and have maintained records of all source data and calculations with support from a chosen carbon consultant. During the reporting period we have utilised our new ownership to broaden our carbon & energy reduction opportunities including:
∙Accelerated the completion of mandatory ESOS Phase 3 compliance
∙Targeted 6 main energy using sites for energy audit & opportunity recommendations in Q123
∙Creation of dedicated energy & carbon related roles in support of our strategic direction
∙Targeted a decarbonisation strategy & baseline communication for FY23
∙Aligned closer with the carbon agenda relating to Marubeni & UK steel industry
The table below includes total energy consumption (reported as kWh) and greenhouse gas emissions for the sources required by the regulations. Our chosen intensity ratio is based on Company Turnover.
Whilst the overall group has consumed more than 40,000 kWh of energy in this reporting period, only Barclay & Mathieson Limited is considered to be large as defined by the Companies Act. In preparing this SECR Report, we have taken advantage of the option to exclude any energy and carbon information relating to the subsidiary undertakings that are small or medium as defined by Companies Act.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BARCLAY & MATHIESON LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Barclay & Mathieson Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group and Company Balance Sheets, the Group Statement of Cash Flows, the Group and Company 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 Group 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 Group's or the parent 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 BARCLAY & MATHIESON 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

BARCLAY & MATHIESON LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BARCLAY & MATHIESON 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 Group 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:
In order to identify and assess the risks of material misstatements, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements, we have considered:
∙the results of our enquiries of management and those charged with governance of their assessment of the risks of fraud and irregularities;
∙the nature of the group, including its management structure and control systems (including the opportunity for management to override such controls);
∙management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements including the group’s remuneration and bonus policies and performance targets; and
∙the industry and environment in which it operates.
We also considered UK tax and pension legislation and laws and regulations relating to employment and the preparation and presentation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006.
Based on this understanding we identified the following matters as being of significance to the entity:
∙laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements including UK financial reporting standards, Company Law, tax and pension legislation and distributable profits legislation;
∙the timing of the recognition of commercial income;
∙the valuation of freehold and leasehold property;
∙compliance with legislation relating to health and safety, environmental legislation and ISO accreditation 45001;
∙management bias in selecting accounting policies and determining estimates;
∙inappropriate journal entries; and
∙recoverability of debtors.
We communicated the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity, to all engagement team members

BARCLAY & MATHIESON LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BARCLAY & MATHIESON LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised:
∙enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations;
∙enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims;
∙discussion with the same regarding any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
∙inspection of relevant legal correspondence;
∙assessment of matters reported to management and the result of the subsequent investigation;
∙obtaining an understanding of the relevant controls during the period;
∙obtaining an understanding of the policies and controls over the recognition of income and testing their implementation during the year;
∙review documentation relating to compliance with the regulations relating to health and safety including review of certificates held;
∙review most recent property valuations undertaken;
∙challenging assumptions made by management in their specific accounting policies and estimates, in particular relation to purchase accruals and depreciation;
∙identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations or crediting revenue or cash;
∙accessing the recovery of debtors in the period since the balance sheet date and challenging assumptions made by management regarding the recovery of balances which remain outstanding;
∙challenging key assumptions made by management;
∙reviewing the financial statements for compliance with the relevant disclosure requirements;
∙performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships or unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud;
∙reviewing the minutes of Board meetings and correspondence with HMRC;
∙evaluating the underlying business reasons for any unusual transactions; and
∙considered the implementation of controls during the year.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
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.
The comparative for the Group was not audited.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The company is a private limited company, incorporated in Scotland and its registered office and principal trading address is 180 Hardgate Road, Glasgow, Scotland, G51 4TB.
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 Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.The profit after tax of the parent Company for the year was £11,761,132 (2021 - £12,920,270).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance Sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

The estimated useful lives range as follows:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:
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.
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers.
Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation 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 is tested for impairment.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Where the group has increased its controlling interest in a subsidiary, the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are not revalued to fair value and no additional goodwill is recognised.
The transaction is accounted for as a transaction between equity holders and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest is adjusted to reflect the change in the parent's interest in the subsidiary's net assets. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is so adjusted and the fair value of consideration paid or received, if any, is recognised directly in equity and attributed to equity holders of the parent. No gains or losses are recognised on these changes. Any changes in the carrying amounts of assets (including goodwill) or liabilities as a result of such transactions are not recognised. At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Group enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, finance leases, and loans from related parties.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration, expected to be paid or received. However if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost. Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Profit and loss account. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the financial instrument's contractual obligations, rather than the financial instrument's legal form. Financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
A liability is derecognised when the contract that gives rise to it is settled, sold, cancelled or expires.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The company operates a defined benefit pension scheme. The funds are valued on a regular basis by a professionally qualified independent actuary, the rate of contribution payable being determined by the actuary. In accordance with FRS 102 the service cost of pension provision relating to the year, together with the cost of any benefits relating to past service, is charged to the profit and loss account. A charge equal to the increase in the present value of the schemes liabilities (because the benefits are closer to settlement) and a credit equivalent to the Company's long term expected return on assets (based on the market value of the scheme assets at the start of the period) are included in the statement of other comprehensive income.
The difference between market value of the assets of the scheme and the present value of accrued pension liabilities is shown as an asset (if the company believes it will benefit from reduced future contributions) or liability on the balance sheet. Any differences between the expected return on assets and that actually achieved is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income along with differences which arise from experience of assumption changes. For defined contribution schemes the amount charged to the profit and loss account in respect of pension cost is the contributions payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet. Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the same period as the related expenditure.

Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Group 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.

The Group and Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. Management are also required to exercise judgement in the process of applying the company's accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations or future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below: Carrying value of stock Management review the market value of and demand for the Group's stocks on a periodic basis to ensure stock is recorded in the financial statements at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less cost to complete and sell. Any provision for impairment is recorded against the carrying value of stock. Management use their knowledge of market conditions, historical experiences and estimates of future events to assess future demand for the Group's products and achievable selling prices. Revaluation of tangible fixed assets The Group engages independent valuation specialists to determine the fair value of its freehold and leasehold property interests on an annual basis. Details of the key assumptions and techniques utilised by the valuer have been detailed in the notes to the financial statements. It is the Group's policy to measure freehold and leasehold properties at fair value less depreciation. The residual values of the properties are taken into consideration in the calculation. As at 31 December 2022, the Directors do not consider the residual value of the properties to be materially different to the revalued amounts, therefore the depreciation charge is £Nil.
