| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| The Locogen Group exists to accelerate the transition to a world powered by renewable energy. Our vision is to operate across the world, maximising the uptake of renewable energy systems by delivering leading expertise across the life cycle of renewable energy projects, while creating an environment where our people love to work, are inspired to grow, and empowered to make a difference. |
| We do this by providing expert consultancy services to support our clients to develop, build and operate renewable energy projects and co-investing with our partners to develop projects that deliver our vision. Our team provides comprehensive and unrivalled renewable energy systems expertise and focus on cultivating long-term, trusted relationships with our clients. We evoke confidence with our knowledge and leave clients inspired through our creative approach. We believe our people are core to our success, and by attracting and empowering a passionate and talented team, we provide world-class support to our clients and partners to develop, build, and operate renewable energy projects. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The business is committed to the continuous development and growth of our multidisciplinary consultancy team and of our investment in development activities. We have a strong track record of both providing specialist consultancy services to support clients on their projects, as well as co-investing alongside our partners in the development of our own portfolio of projects. |
| Since incorporation we have focused on reinvesting profits in the growth of the business and partnering with other developers to build long-term value for the group through our development activities. In 2024, we secured a substantial investment in our French business to fund the growth of our development activities in France. In the UK we have realised returns from our investment in development activities in utility scale solar and energy storage projects. These have provided the capital to reinvest in the growth of the consultancy team, our management systems and process and our development portfolio in the UK and internationally. |

| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The operation of the business and implementation of its strategy are subject to several risks which are accepted and managed by the director and the senior management team. The company employs an integrated management system with regular reviews of policies, procedures and internal controls to ensure compliance with all relevant legislation and regulations. |
| The key risks affecting our clients and partners, which impact Locogen are: |
| Political, regulatory, and technical risks through changing government policy, planning and permitting delays, Contracts for Difference (CfD) reform, grid capacity constraints, grid connection reform, etc. These are being mitigated through active engagement with the market and our customers to gather intelligence on the risks and opportunities. |
| Macro national and international economic factors, including energy price volatility, inflation, cost of debt and equity, etc which are affecting our customers and partners appetite for investment in renewable energy projects. This is being mitigated through ongoing dialogue with our customers on the risks and opportunities for their business and the impact on Locogen. |
| Other key risks affecting Locogen include: |
| Attracting and retaining qualified and experienced staff in a competitive labour market. To mitigate this the company offers an environment for personal and professional development in a positive working culture combined with competitive benefits packages. |
| The market is competitive and there has been significant consolidation in recent years. To mitigate this risk, we maintain strong relationships with our clients and strive to offer service excellence and a more personal approach than our larger competitors. |
| The Group manages our working capital to meet our obligations to suppliers and financial institutions. The senior management team review management accounts against monthly budgets, particularly focusing on monitoring sales, gross margins and EBITDA in the consultancy business and development expenditure and direct costs in the development business to assist the forecasting of short-term and medium-term funding requirements. |
| The key credit risk in the consultancy business is in relation to trade debtors. We mitigate this risk by regularly monitoring trade debtors and by carrying out credit verification procedures for all clients. |
| The group finances its consultancy and development operations through retained profits. We finance the construction of our projects with debt. The interest rate on the debt is a mixture of fixed and variable. We review the financial performance and debt service cover ratio of our operational projects quarterly. |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The director and senior management monitor financial performance every month and highlight the following key performance indicators: |
| KPI | 2024 (£) | 2023 (£) |
| Total income | 9,171,068 | 11,246,679 |
| Gross profit | 1,966,223 | 2,342,670 |
| Profit before tax | 1,648,164 | 161,946 |
| Net assets | 6,349,272 | 4,741,745 |

| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| FUTURE OUTLOOK |
| The UK renewable energy market is facing political, regulatory and technical challenges, particularly with grid capacity challenges, the grid reform process, changes and delays to the CfD mechanism, as well as inflation and the cost of capital. These factors are creating uncertainty for our customers and partners. We are monitoring the impact of these risks on our consultancy and development business on a regular basis and will reduce costs accordingly where required. We are confident that the market factors affecting uncertainty will be resolved in 2026 and we expect significant growth in both the consultancy and development business in the future. |

| DIRECTOR |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 director is 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 he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| Drummond Laurie CA are deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Locogen Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Locogen Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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 Director 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 Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| In the previous accounting period, the group was exempt from the requirement to have its financial statements audited under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006. Therefore, the prior period financial statements were not subject to audit. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Locogen 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 Director. |
| 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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of director |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page four, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has 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. |
| 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. |
| Based on our understanding of the group, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of override of controls, to reduce profits and tax liabilities. We determined that the most likely method of manipulation would be the posting of inappropriate journal entries. Audit procedures performed by the audit engagement team consisted of a review of large and unusual journal entries, challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in significant accounting estimates, discussions with management related to known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations, review of Board minutes where available, and an evaluation of management controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities. |
| There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations or through collusion. |
| 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 |
| Locogen 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. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Basis of consolidation |
| The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and all group undertakings. These are adjusted, where appropriate, to conform to group accounting policies. Acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method and goodwill on consolidation is capitalised and written off over five years from the year of acquisition. The results of companies acquired or disposed of are included in the profit and loss account after or up to the date that control passes respectively. As a consolidated profit and loss account is published, a separate profit and loss account for the parent company is omitted from the group financial statements by virtue of section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. |
| 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. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| 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. |
| Service contracts |
| Revenue from contracts for the provision of professional services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion when the stage of completion, costs incurred and costs to complete can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is calculated by comparing costs incurred, mainly in relation to subcontracted services, as a proportion of total costs. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that it is probable will be recovered. |
| Construction contracts |
| Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting end date. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable. |
| When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract turnover, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred where it is probable that they will be recoverable. |
| Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When costs incurred in securing a contract are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, they are not included in contract costs if the contract is obtained in a subsequent period. |
| The percentage of completion method is used to determine the appropriate amount to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date compared to the estimated total contract costs. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion. These costs are presented as stocks, prepayments or other assets depending on the nature, provided it is probable they will be recovered. |
| Goodwill |
| 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. |
| An impairment loss has been recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, following an assessment at the Consolidated Balance Sheet date indicating the recoverable amount was less than its carrying value. |
| Costs incurred in respect of the development phase of a project are recognised as an intangible asset, when certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate that the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. Once the project is in construction phase, the development costs are transferred to tangible assets. Assets in the course of development are not amortised. |
| Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. |

| Tangible fixed assets and depreciation |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Cost represent purchase price together with any incidental costs of acquisition. |
| The directors have considered the residual value of all tangible fixed assets to be immaterial and therefore all tangible fixed assets are depreciated to nil value. |
| Government grants |
| Grants are recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable provided that the terms of the grant do not impose future performance-related conditions. If the terms of a grant do impose performance-related conditions on the recipient, the grant is only recognised in income when the performance-related conditions are met. Any grants that are received before the revenue recognition criteria are met are recognised in the entity’s financial statements as a liability. |
| Investments in associates |
| Investments in associate undertakings are recognised at cost. |
| Investments in joint ventures |
| Investments in joint ventures are recognised at cost. |
| Unlisted investments |
| Unlisted investments are recognised at cost. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost is represented by purchase price. |

| Financial instruments |
| Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Financial assets |
| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
| If transaction costs are immaterial and the credit period is short, amortised cost is equal to the nominal value less any allowance for credit losses. Amortised interest is recognised as Interest income within the Income Statement. |
| Where loans are provided interest-free or below market rate, the market value on initial recognition is required to be estimated by discounting the loan amount to the present value of future payments using an equivalent rate of a similar instrument. |
| Financial liabilities |
| Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| If transaction costs are immaterial and the credit period is short, amortised cost is equal to the nominal value. The amortisation of financial liabilities is recognised as an Interest expense within the Income Statement. |
| Where loans are provided interest-free or below market rate, the market value on initial recognition is required to be estimated by discounting the loan amount to the present value of future payments using an equivalent rate of a similar instrument. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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. |
| 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. |

| 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. |
| Provisions |
| Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Provisions are discounted where the time value of money is material. |
| Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand and highly liquid interest-bearing securities with maturities of three months or less. In the cash-flow statement, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts, which are included as current borrowings in liabilities on the balance sheet. |
