GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The directors present the Group strategic report for LMP Group Limited for the year ended 31 March 2025.
LMP Group Limited is a property investment, development and management group focused primarily on the acquisition, management and enhancement of UK property assets together with the provision of associated management services to connected businesses and property interests. During the year, the Group continued to strengthen and consolidate its property portfolio through targeted acquisitions and asset management initiatives. The directors remain focused on long-term capital growth, recurring rental income generation and the strategic development of selected sites within the Group’s portfolio.
During the year, the Group continued to focus on its core property investment, development and management activities.
Turnover for the year was £5.76 million (2024 - £14.49 million). The reduction compared to the prior year primarily reflects the absence of discontinued trading operations included within the previous financial year. The Group continued to expand and manage its property portfolio during the year, with investment property assets increasing to £25.43 million at 31 March 2025 (2024 - £21.30 million). The directors remain focused on long-term asset growth, recurring rental income and maintaining a strong underlying asset base. The Group continues to review investment opportunities and manage its funding and working capital requirements prudently.
The Group operates in sectors that are subject to a number of commercial and financial risks. The directors continually monitor these risks and implement measures intended to mitigate their potential impact.
Property market risk The Group is exposed to movements in the UK property market, including fluctuations in asset values, rental demand and occupancy levels. Adverse market conditions could impact both profitability and asset valuations. Interest rate and financing risk The Group utilises external borrowings and overdraft facilities to support its operations and investment activities. Increases in interest rates or reduced availability of funding could adversely affect cash flow and profitability. Liquidity risk The Group’s operations require significant working capital, particularly in relation to property acquisitions and development projects. The directors closely monitor cash flow forecasts and maintain regular dialogue with lenders and funding partners. Development risk Development activities are subject to planning, construction, contractor and cost inflation risks. Delays or increased costs may impact expected project returns.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Economic and regulatory risk
The Group is affected by wider economic conditions, inflationary pressures and changes in taxation, planning regulations and property legislation which may impact operational performance and investment returns.
The directors monitor the performance of the Group using a range of financial KPIs, including:
KPI 2025 2024 Turnover £5.76m £14.49m Gross profit £4.12m £5.63m Operating profit £0.37m £2.78m Profit after tax £0.04m £1.30m Net assets £48.16m £48.12m Investment property portfolio £25.43m £21.30m The directors consider growth in recurring rental income, asset values and net asset position to be key indicators of long-term performance.
In addition to financial measures, the directors monitor operational and strategic KPIs including:
• Occupancy and tenant retention across the investment property portfolio; • Progression and profitability of development projects; • Cash collection and debtor management; • Funding availability and banking relationships; and • Identification and acquisition of strategically aligned investment opportunities. The directors believe that maintaining strong operational oversight and disciplined investment criteria will support the long-term growth objectives of the Group.

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group strategic report, the Directors' report and the consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments 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 Group will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group and to 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.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £35,215 (2024 - £1,303,665).
The directors do not recommend the payment of a final dividend.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LMP GROUP LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of LMP Group Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated analysis of net debt and the related notes, 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 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LMP GROUP LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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.
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 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 Directors' report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LMP GROUP 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 Auditor's 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:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with law and regulations, was as follows:
∙The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussion with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant sector;
∙The specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Company, are as follows:
°Companies Act 2006;
°Financial Reporting Standard 102;
°Health and Safety legislation;
∙We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making
enquiries of management, reviewing board minutes and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙Laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and during the audit as any further laws and regulation were identified.

LMP GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LMP GROUP LIMITED (CONTINUED)
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by:
∙Making enquiries of management as to where they consider there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud;
∙Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Reviewing the financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation;
∙Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies;
∙Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions;
∙Assessing whether judgments and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates, including stock obsolescence, depreciation and bad debt provision were indicative of management bias; and
∙Investigating the rationale behind significant transactions, or transactions that are unusual or outside the Company’s usual course of business.
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 Auditor's 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 Auditor's 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.
