| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The company acquired the entire shareholding of Lysander Associates Limited during the year and the details of the acquisition are set out in note 18 to the financial statements. Lysander Associates Limited is itself an intermediate parent company. |
| The Group operates from offices in UK and EU markets with client/project specific work undertaken across wider |
| EMEA region when requested. This is not expected to change in the near future. |
| We are pleased to report that the Group has delivered strong results for the 2024 financial year. These results show |
| a further consecutive year of growth for the Group in accordance with the business plan. These results have been |
| achieved despite macroeconomic challenges within several of the operating locations. |
| The Group turnover for the period ended 31 December 2024 is £16.2m with pre-tax profits of £2.9m. |
| At 31 December 2024 the Group had net assets of £3.2m. As a result, the Group is in a strong |
| position going forward. |
| Significant investment has been made by the Group to establish its European presence since 2020. This has been |
| funded from retained profits. In accordance with the strategic plan, it is not envisaged that any significant additional |
| investment will be required in these subsidiaries after 31 December 2024. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The principal risk facing the Group continues to be fluctuations in the construction and property markets and general |
| economic conditions within individual operating countries. |
| The Group mitigates these risks through its strong relationships with existing clients, the investment in geographical |
| coverage across Europe and the strategic growth in the data centre market. |
| During 2024, the Group has been engaged on multiple frameworks with significant future opportunity in all |
| geographical operating locations. These agreements remain within the Group’s primary markets of Industrial & |
| Logistics, commercial real estate and data centres. |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The performance of the Group is measured by the directors through a series of key performance indicators. The |
| principal measures used to assess performance are operating profit and revenue. |
| Group revenue achieved in the period was £16.2m and operating profit achieved was £2.9m. |
| The Group continue to monitor all key liquidity and margin ratios to ensure performance levels maintained. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Lysander Group Limited (Registered number: 14116146) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| COMMENCEMENT OF TRADING |
| During the year the company acquired 100% of the share capital of Lysander Associates Limited. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No interim dividend was paid during the year. The directors recommend a final dividend of 150.80 per share. |
| The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 December 2024 will be £ 603,200 . |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2024 to the date of this report. |
| Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group 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 group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Williams & Co Epsom LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Lysander Group Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Lysander 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. |
| The Group has an intermediate UK parent company, Lysander Associates Limited, on which a full audit has also been conducted in accordance with the UK audit threshold rules in place. This Group also has five subsidiary companies in Europe where local rules do not require these companies to be subject to statutory audit albeit one of these subsidiaries has had an audit. We have therefore carried out some sample checking within these accounts as well as a review of these accounts have been prepared and subsequently included these Group accounts. |
| All european subsidiaries prepare statutory accounts in accordance as required by the ruling laws of their countries but these accounts have not been subject to full UK audit. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Lysander Group Limited |
| 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. |
| 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 page three, 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Lysander Group Limited |
| 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: |
| We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future |
| developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying |
| with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the |
| financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, |
| and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes |
| consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. |
| In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed |
| procedures which included: |
| · Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and |
| claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud; |
| · Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
| · Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material |
| effect on the financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection; |
| · 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 bias and 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 indicators of |
| potential bias. |
| 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 of |
| not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may |
| involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| 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. |
| 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. |

| Lysander Group Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary |
| amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1. |
| The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting |
| policies adopted are set out below. |
| The company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent |
| of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. |
| The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements for |
| parent company information presented within the consolidated financial statements: |
| · Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and |
| disclosures; |
| · Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues: Interest |
| income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments not measured at fair value; basis of |
| determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair |
| value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income; and |
| · Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Compensation for key management personnel. |
| Basis of consolidation |
| The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company |
| Lysander Group Limited together with all entities controlled by the parent company (its subsidiaries). |
| All financial statements are made up to 31 December 2024. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the |
| financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other |
| members of the group. |
| All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are |
| eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. |
| Subsidiaries are consolidated in the group’s financial statements from the date that control commences until |
| the date that control ceases |
| 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. |
| Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements. |

| Significant judgements and estimates |
| In the application of the group’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be 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 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. |
| The directors consider there to be no key judgements that are material to the group or company. |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be 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 where the revision affects only that period, in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| The directors consider there to be no key judgements that are material to the group. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of |
| consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates. |
| When cash inflows are deferred and represent a financing arrangement, the fair value of the consideration is |
| the present value of the future receipts. The difference between the fair value of the consideration and the |
| nominal amount received is recognised as interest income. |
| Revenue from services provided is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the contracted period, |
| or where the service has been provided to the client and no further material obligations remain. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the |
| acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the |
| asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity. |
| Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives |
| on the following bases: |
| Software 20% straight line |

| Stocks |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost |
| comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been |
| incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. |
| At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks |
| over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or |
| loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss. |

| Financial instruments |
| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 |
| 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
| Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is a legally 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. |
| Basic financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, amounts owed by group undertakings and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
| Impairment of financial assets |
| Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indications of |
| impairment at each reporting date. |
| Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events that |
| occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Derecognition of financial assets |
| Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of |
| ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. |
| Classification of financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual |
| arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Basic financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, and other borrowings are initially recognised at |
| transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is |
| measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Derecognition of financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or |
| cancelled. |

| 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 |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases. |
| Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of |
| inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest |
| elements. The interest is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the |
| remaining balance of the liability. |
| Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is |
| more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. |
| 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. |
| Going concern |
| At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group |
| has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors |
| continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
| The directors have noted that some of the foreign subsidiaries are but they are satisfied that these losses have been generated due to the subsidiaries being in the early stages of existence, and that they are on course to becoming profitable in the future. The directors of the parent company are committed to supporting the subsidiaries for the foreseeable future. |
| Equity instruments |
| Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. |
| Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion |
| of the group. |

| Employee benefits |
| The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs |
| are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets. |
| The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are |
| received. |
| Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably |
| committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. |
