| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Cook & Partners Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. |

| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Lorensbergs Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Accounting convention |
| Going Concern Justification |
| The directors have assessed various factors and risks affecting the company and its ability in these difficult economic times to continue to trade as a going concern. The directors have not identified any material uncertainties or risks related to events or conditions that could affect the carrying values of the company's assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date. Therefore the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2024 have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting. |
| Related party exemption |
| The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
| Revenue |
| Revenue - described as turnover - is the value of services (net of VAT) provided to customers recognised on the provision of services supplied over the length of contract. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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. |

| Foreign currencies |
| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that give rights approximately to ownership ("finance leases") the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright. The amount capitalised is the fair value of the asset concerned. The corresponding liability to the leasing company is included as an obligation under finance leases. Depreciation of leased assets is charged to the profit and loss account over the short of the lease terms and their useful lives. Leasing payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements, and interest is charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis which is considered to be a reasonable approximation to a constant rate of charge on the outstanding balance. |
| All other leases are treated as "operating leases" and the relevant annual rentals are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term; unless they relate to vacant leasehold properties in which case provision is made on a discounted basis for the net obligation under the lease. The unwinding of the discount is disclosed within interest payable and similar charges. |
| Pension costs |
| The company operates a defined contribution scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The pension costs charge represents contributions payable for the period by the company to the fund. |
