STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Growth has remained steady throughout 2021 and levels have returned close to 2019. Confidence has returned and there has been signs of many big projects being undertaken by both the Private & Public sector.
Turnover increased to £9.64m (2020 - £8.24m) but operating margins have been squeezed to 10.5% (2020 - 13.8%) These reduced margins are set to stay as supply chains have been increasing prices with little or no notice. 2022 has continued strongly but recent worries over the cost of living crisis will no doubt have some effect on our market. We may not see signs of this until 2023. Our industry remains robust but we still face many challenges in the months to come.
In managing the company the directors monitor the results against the budget and the previous year through monthly management reports and snapshots of the trading result following each period end. Risk management is an important issue to the company. The key risks to the business include:
Laws and regulation No new legislation has affected our industry so far. We have all seen draft documentation for the “London Plan” which has had to be withdrawn as the consultancy time limit has now expired. There will be close reference to EN 81-76 (Evacuation for Lifts) as a new standard for lift evacuation. Both papers are very much still in “draft format. Economic uncertainties We operate across a number of market sectors in the UK and are affected by national macro-economic conditions including the effects of Brexit as well as by the investment and spending cycles that exist in many industries. Our spread across differing market sectors helps us to mitigate our exposure to short and medium term economic uncertainties.
The company regularly reviews a number of financial and non-financial key performance indicators at both board and operational levels. The company carries out monthly detailed reviews of each operational and support function at which all aspects of each business and key performance indicators are reviewed.
2021 2020 Turnover (£'000's) 9,643 8,242 Gross profit percentage 33.8 32.1 Average number of employees 74 72 Average turnover per employee 130 114

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The company reviews non-financial KPIs on a regular basis in a number of areas:
Health and safety – the company aims to achieve year-on-year improvement in accident incidence rate and remain below the Health and Safety Executive benchmark for the UK. We have achieved a significant improvement in the year. Customer experience – the company aspires to deliver a high level of customer satisfaction which is key to supporting sustainable long-term growth in the sector. Feedback received during the year demonstrated that most of our customers are fully or mostly satisfied with our services. Employee welfare – the company strives to attract and retain highly motivated, high-performing teams. The group’s employee turnover is low.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 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 judgments 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 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 £827,307 (2020 - £995,361).
The dividends for the year amount to £1,422,474 (2020 - £1,225,000).
The directors who served during the year were:
Development is key and is constantly being worked on. Apart from the continual product enhancements and software improvements which are working hard on the next generation of Microprocessor. There is an emphasis on using Safety Critical Components which for compliance will require extreme and rigorous testing. Our Group Destination Control is entering it’s final stage of testing and development.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LESTER CONTROL SYSTEMS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Lester Control Systems Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2021, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, 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 LESTER CONTROL SYSTEMS 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.

LESTER CONTROL SYSTEMS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LESTER CONTROL SYSTEMS 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:
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, we have: • considered the nature of the industry and sectors, control environment and business performance; • made enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risk of irregularities; • performed audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; • undertaken appropriate sample based testing of bank transactions; • identified and evaluated compliance with relevant laws and regulations and made enquiries of any instances of non-compliance; • discussed matters among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and potential indicators of fraud.
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 regulation. 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 occurring 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 Auditors' Report.

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 judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
∙the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
∙the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);

∙the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A;

Having considered the cash forecasts for the 12 months following the balance sheet date, the directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
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.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experiences and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods. The key assumptions and other key sources of uncertainty that have a significant effect of the amount recognised in the financial statements are described below: Warranty provisions Provisions for damaged or faulty products are calculated and provided for based on historic trends, managements knowledge of products and technological improvements in components. The directors have concluded that the valuations of provisions are appropriate. Stock valuation Stock is included at lower of cost and net realisable value. The directors have reviewed the stock obsolescence policy and are satisfied that stock is fairly valued at the year end. Recoverability of debtors Judgments have been made on the recoverability of trade debtors and the valuation of provisions and the directors are satisfied that the debts are recoverable. Tangible and intangible fixed assets Judgments have been made in relation to the lives of tangible and intangible assets. In particular, the valuation and the useful economic life and residual values of plant and machinery and motor vehicles. The directors have concluded that the asset values and residual values are appropriate.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
In the year to 31 December 2016, amounts totalling £494,178 loaned to the Directors were incorrectly charged to the Profit and loss account. The prior year adjustment has resulted in a reversal of this charge through the Statement of changes in equity and an adjustment to directors loan account, in other debtors.
These loans were repaid during the current year.
The Company operates a defined contributions pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company to the fund and amounted to £152,832 (2020 - £117,818). Contributions totaling £11,446 (2020 - £7,918) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date and are included in creditors.
At the balance sheet date, £1,046 (2020 - £504,088, after prior year restatement, see note 26) was due from the directors in respect of advances provided.
