GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 MARCH 2025
The directors present their Strategic Report of Longshot III Limited ("LSIII") for the year ended 30 March 2025.
LSIII is a Topco Investment vehicle for the acquisition, diversification and reimagination of Golf Courses in the South of England. LSIII is presently the owner of four golf courses upon which it plans to deliver its vision for the future of Golf, Sport & Leisure. During the year ending 30 March 2025 development of our concept for Golf has progressed in earnest, including the completion of Mackenzie’s & Ebert’s 12-hole re-designs at 2 existing sites with a capital investment of £3.7m. This has inevitably led to a significant amount of trade disruption and closures which are reflected in the profitability of the business. Oak Park remains closed, Farrington Park ceased trading in its acquired form in Sep-24, Teign Valley closed in Oct-24 and Blacknest operated as an events only Business with no Golf Course throughout FY25. As a result, Total Turnover in the year was £1,915,046 (2024: £2,795,523) and the Group made a net loss of £- (2024: £-). Total net assets are £19,625,512 (2024:£19,282,796). In Summer 2024, we partnered with Uncommon to develop the Mad Swans brand identity, name and logo which will be common across all planned site developments. Full planning consent for Farrington Park (Mad Swans in the Mendips) was passed in Feb-25, followed post year end by Blacknest (Mad Swans in South Downs) in Jul-25, Teign Valley (Mad Swans in Dartmoor) in Aug-25 and Oak Park in Nov-25. We are grateful for the expertise, time and patience of our internal and external teams in achieving these transformational consents. On 30 March 2025 we employed 45 people. We are very proud this has since grown to more than 100 people and look forward to continuing to create rewarding hospitality jobs in other rural areas of Southern England. As well investment in our in-house team, LSIII has ongoing partnerships with a number of key suppliers including; Mackenzie & Ebert, Nokken, Greenspan, TSA Riley, Stanlo Construction, Towens, Sustainable Advantage and Digg & Co. Post year end, in October 2025 we have now fully launched Mad Swans in the Mendips to overwhelmingly positive feedback. Our 2nd site Mad Swans in South Downs scheduled to open in Spring 2026. During the year a considerable of time and effort has been put into the laying the groundwork for our first opening including, the selection and implementation of new IT systems, website development, menu development, setting operating standards, recruitment, construction management and procurement. LSIII continues to be an investment asset of the BAE Systems Pension Fund Trustees, managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. We are also, pleased to be working with OakNorth Bank who in October 2024 provided an £8.0m development loan facility to help fund the launch of the first two LSIII sites. This facility has been further extended to £10.0m in October 2025.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 MARCH 2025
The management of the business and execution of the Group’s strategy are subject to a number of risks.
Financial Risk Management
Liquidity risk – The Group manages its day to days operations, investments and cash balances to ensure that the Group has sufficient available funds for its operations. During the year ended 30 March 2025, the OakNorth Bank provided debt facility has been deployed to fund capital development and provide additional liquidity headroom.
Foreign exchange risk – Whilst 100% of income, and the majority of the Group’s expenses, are denominated in sterling, the Group is exposed to some foreign exchange risk in the normal course of business and in particular on the purchase of modular eco cabins from Central Europe. The Group did not use financial instruments in the year to hedge foreign exchange exposure. However, this position is kept constantly under review.
Credit risk – Membership revenues have been collected annually in advance or via monthly direct debit. Deposits are taken for any events bookings. All other payments are committed at the point of transaction.
Interest risk – The Group has interest bearing assets and liabilities. The Group did not use financial instruments in year to hedge interest rate risk. However, this position is kept constantly under review.
Inflation risk – The planned capital development projects represent a key component part of the LSIII Business Plan. These cost assumptions are not immune to inflationary pressures. Where possible the Group has committed, fixed quotes from suppliers for key facilities. The business has also worked closely with quantity surveyors and construction project management firm, TSA Riley to deliver its capital projects efficiently.
Regulatory risk – As well as following all government guidelines, the group has engaged various Health & Safety systems and consultants in order to ensure that it operates safely and legally.
The policies set out by the Board of Directors are implemented by the Group's finance department.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 MARCH 2025
The Group measures its performance and progress against its strategy through the following key performance indicators.
Financial key performance indicators The redevelopment of the Golf Courses has, as anticipated, caused short-term disruption to pre-existing trade. Regular KPIs such as; Number of Golf Rounds, Weekly F&B Sales, Labour as a % of sales are therefore less meaningful, especially relative to previous trading periods. With that in mind, the year end 30 March 2025 has continued to focus on site acquisition, deployment of capital investment whilst mitigating interim trading losses. Key KPIs in the year have therefore included; Capex expenditure vs Budget, Daily Cash vs forecast and trading losses vs budget. Each of which are tracked and reported on a weekly basis for all sites. Environment The Group recognises its corporate responsibility to carry out its operations whilst minimising environmental impacts. The directors’ continued aim is not only to comply, but where practicable exceed all applicable environmental legislation, prevent pollution and reduce waste wherever possible. The Group’s commitment to sustainability is demonstrated by its strategic work with Sustainable Advantage. Initiatives in the past year include the use of solar powered, autonomous mowers and the production of our own Honey, Horseradish and Elderflower on site to become fully self-sustaining. Health & Safety The Group is committed to achieving the highest practical standards in health and safety management and strives to make all sites and offices safe environments to employees and customers alike. Human Resources LSIII is committed to creating an enriching workplace that nurtures its team, cultivates long-term careers, priorities wellness, champions diversity and inclusivity, and ignites passion for the hospitality and leisure industry.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LONGSHOT III LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Longshot III Limited (the 'Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 30 March 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and 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).
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 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 Group's or 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 LONGSHOT III LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group and the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

LONGSHOT III LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LONGSHOT III 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 Group 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:
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Based on our understanding of the Group and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, income tax and sales tax.
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to revenue and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
∙Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
∙Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
∙Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
∙Identifying and testing accounting journal entries, in particular those journal entries which exhibited the characteristics we had identified as possible indicators of irregularities; and
∙Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates.

LONGSHOT III LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LONGSHOT III LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
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 an Auditors' Report 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 MARCH 2025
Longshot III Ltd is a limited company (registered number 13634030) incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office address is 5 Albany Courtyard, London, W1J 0HF.
The principal activity of the Group is the development, creation and operation of rural hospitality venues offering a diversified mix of sport and accommodation The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
2.Accounting policies
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 Group management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Statement of Financial Position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
The Directors have prepared cashflow forecasts for the Group. These model various scenarios taking into account both funding and development plans. The forecasts show the Group has sufficient liquidity to continue to operate for at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements under each scenario. The principal risks to these scenarios relate mostly to levels of future investment expenditure, within Management’s control, and the trading performance of the first two sites where one opened in October 2025 and the other aiming for Spring 2026. The Directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient liquidity and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Other intangible assets
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.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:
At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
At the start of the year, management changed their estimated useful life for freehold property from 50 years to 25 years, using the straight-line method.
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.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
