Group Strategic Report
for the year ended 31 December 2024

1. Impact of the Ransomware Attack
Since the previous year-end, McCann Group Ltd experienced a significant ransomware attack on our central servers, leading to the loss of critical accounting and payroll data. This created substantial challenges in maintaining financial reporting and day-to-day operational efficiency. Despite proactive security measures, the attack resulted in the need for extensive data reconstruction, which placed additional strain on internal resources.

Following the swift notification and action of our IT support systems, the impact was minimised to the Servers but to prevent any latent malware being activated, a wholesale review and upgrade to storage and operating systems was undertaken immediately to enable all of our remote sites to remain operational.
Due to the professionalism and commitment of our Finance Department Team, we were able to maintain supplier payments and Payroll throughout the period.
Ultimately, we were able to recover all of the data that had been encrypted, without recourse to the attackers, which ultimately provides testament to the existing processes that were in place at the time.

We have now fully recovered from the event and have emerged with a new fully operational system that has recently been accredited to an industry recognised standard.

2. Response and Recovery Efforts
In response to the attack, the company took was able to mitigate the impact by:
- Data Reconstruction:
We have been able to fully recover all encrypted date and restore this to new financial and payroll systems that were upgraded at the time. This was done by leveraging available backups, historical records, and external verification sources where necessary.
- IT and Cybersecurity Expertise :
We engaged cybersecurity specialists to assess the breach, advise on security modifications and restore date to more secure environments, along with additional security measures prevent further incidents.
- Operational Adjustments:
Temporary measures were put in place to ensure that payroll processing and financial reporting continued, uninterrupted. This ensured that minimal financial disruption was experienced by staff, suppliers and stakeholders both during and after the event.

3. Risk Management and Future Mitigation
Recognising the severity of cybersecurity threats, the company is implementing robust measures to prevent similar incidents in the future, including:
- Enhanced Cybersecurity Infrastructure:
Strengthening IT security protocols, increasing system monitoring, and implementing advanced threat detection software.
- Data Backup and Redundancy:
Establishing more frequent and secure backup procedures, ensuring critical data is stored in multiple locations.
- Employee Training and Awareness:
Conducting regular cybersecurity training for employees to recognise and prevent potential threats.
- Strategic Investment in IT Security:
Allocating resources to enhance data protection and business continuity planning.

Despite these challenges, McCann Group Ltd remains committed to financial transparency and operational resilience. By addressing the vulnerabilities exposed by this incident, the Company is now stronger and better prepared for future risks.

Group Strategic Report
for the year ended 31 December 2024

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
This review is intended to be consistent with the size and nature of our business. We aim to present a balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of the company during the year to 31st December 2024, its position at year end and an update of events after the balance sheet date, to enable a better understanding by the readers of the accounts, of the Group's financial position

The Group has consolidated its core business, returning profits of £1,678,765, before tax, on a turnover of £ 82,894,375. This was achieved by concentrating on our highways maintenance and infrastructure skills and ensuring that projects obtained and delivered certainty and a healthy margin. Due to increased return, cash flow and profitability have been restored with healthy cash balances being reported at year end.
The company will continue to maintain its focus on working capital and cash management in the future and continue to leverage our specialist expertise whilst seeking new opportunities, within our sector, for increased margin generation.

Since the Year end, we have continued to maintain strong growth within our chosen sectors with the recent award of several notable projects: -
- Liverpool City Council Street Lighting Term Maintenance (3 plus 2x 1 years)
- Gull Wing Bridge Term Maintenance (5 Years)
- Nottingham Footbridge
- A52 QMC to Priory Signs and Streetlighting
- Humber Bridge Free Flow Tolling System Civils Infrastructure

We believe that this success demonstrates the resilience of the business and the ongoing demand for our services. However, we remain mindful of the challenges that lie ahead in the coming year and the impact of the current economic and geo-political climate.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
- Government spending decisions
We recognise that the majority of our income is from National and Local government sources and can be affected by changes in government policy.
- Economic uncertainty
There is ongoing uncertainty due to the risk of recession, further inflationary and interest rate increases along with possible changes in Government policy.
- Geopolitical disruptions
The current uncertain state of world politics, including Ukraine, Yemen and the Middle East can all have an impact on local economic conditions.
- Tariffs (USA)
We do not trade with the USA directly and most of our imported goods are manufactured within Europe. We therefore do not consider this to be a significant risk to the business at this time.
- Financial risk
The company has a broad range of customers including both private companies and public sector bodies.
The risk that the company will suffer from significant levels of bad debts is managed by the diversified portfolio and well established credit control procedures across the company. The company is funded through a combination of hire purchase funding and a credit facility with the company's bankers who have remained supportive throughout this period and beyond.

The Directors continue to monitor these impacts and react as necessary.

The above risks are typical of the current UK economy and we are confident that they do not represent an undue risk to the success of the business. Our current portfolio of Government backed long term contracts, will continue to provide a significant buffer to these uncertainties. This is recognised in the Company improving its cash position since the year end and continues to work with positive cash balances, as it expects to continue to do so through 2025.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
McCann Group Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of McCann Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the group's 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 group 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 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 and 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.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, 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.

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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
McCann Group Limited


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
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 Report of the Directors.

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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on pages seven and eight, the directors are 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 directors determine 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 directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent 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 directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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:

- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
- Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.

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
McCann Group 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

McCann Group Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the parent company and each of those companies in which it owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, over 50 percent of the voting rights or in which it is in a position to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity. The companies acquired during the financial period have been consolidated from the beginning of the period in full. Subsidiaries sold have been included up to their date of disposal.

All intercompany transactions, balances and gains or losses on transactions between subsidiaries are eliminated as part of the consolidation process. Minority interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets separate from the equity attributable to shareholders. Minority interests are separately disclosed in the consolidated profit and loss account.

Acquisitions of companies are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of an acquisition is measured at fair value over the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition including any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The excess acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the Group’s share of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly through profit and loss.

Turnover
Revenue on contracts is valued on a contract by contract basis. When the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably contract revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the degree of completion of each contract as measured by the proportion of total costs at the balance sheet date to the estimated total cost of the contract. When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred, where it is probable these costs will be recovered.

When it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised immediately. Contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Where costs incurred plus recognised profits less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the balance is shown as amounts recoverable on contracts within debtors. Where progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognised profits less recognised losses, the balance is shown as deferred income within creditors.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Plant and machinery - 25% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost, 20% on cost, 10% on cost, Straight line over 5 years and Straight line over 10 years
Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance
Computer equipment - 33% on cost and Straight line over 3 years

Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued
for the year ended 31 December 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Stocks
Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

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 Consolidated 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.

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
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
