Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 30 November 2023

The director presents her strategic report for the year ended 30 November 2023.

Live Manage Facilitate Ltd is one of the leading, nationwide installers of Energy Efficient Measures performed under the ECO Scheme (Energy Company Obligation), which is currently the ECO4 scheme.Our business has grown significantly since we were incorporated in 2016. The financial statements to 30/11/22 showed that we had eclipsed the small company reporting limits and further growth in the year to 30/11/23, has meant that we are no longer entitled to small company reporting exemptions and our financial statements to 30/11/23 are subject to statutory audit for the first time.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The year to 30/11/23 has been an excellent year for Live Manage Facilitate Ltd, with several key contracts won. This has allowed us to grow the business significantly, creating dozens of new jobs for the local community. Our turnover for the year to 30/11/23 (as shown on page 8) has increased to £47.64million from £20.96million in 2022, which is an increase of 127% year on year.This expansion of our operations has meant we have had to invest significantly in expanding our head office premises. In 2024 we have also set up a new warehouse in Prenton to give us the capacity to service the further planned expansion for the business.

Gross Profit Margins are one of our main key performance indicators, gross margins are monitored closely by management and indicate whether we are delivering our installations in line with our company strategy. Gross profit margins for the 30/11/23 year are at the level we expect to achieve coming in at 35.48%, which is a pleasing return and an increase over the 32.69% achieved in the 30/11/22 year.

Due to achieving our GPM targets, coupled with the significant up lift in revenues and achieving large increases in economies of scale, the 30/11/23 financial statements are showing that we have achieved an impressive net profit margin return of 25.15%, which has increased from 17.48% in 2022. This has resulted in retained earning after taxation and dividends paid to our parent company, increasing to £11.33million as detailed on page 10. This increase in profits and retained earnings has also resulted in our cash flow position showing significant improvements over the excellent results achieved in the 2022 year (as detailed on page 12)).

With contracts already in place for 2024, we expect next years financial statements to show further growth as we concentrate and expand our market position.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The biggest risk to our business would be the loss of any of our major contracts. As many of our major contracts are paid through our customers accessing government funding, the loss of a contract would only likely occur due to us not achieving our contractual obligations. The controls and processes that we have in place for contract compliance ensure that we always achieve full compliance which mitigates this risk.

The principle uncertainty facing the business is the future of the governments ECO schemes. The current contracts are performed under ECO4 which runs until 31/03/26, therefore there is no guarantee that the business will then continue under current contracts in place under ECO5, which as of now has not had any form of details released. The future of the ECO schemes will of course be subject to political influence given the impending general election, any future government could replace or significantly change the ECO schemes, however this is considered highly unlikely due to the current drive in the UK to achieve net carbon zero. When the ECO5 scheme details are released we will ensure that we put measures in place to ensure that Live Manage Facilitate Ltd remain a key preferred installer in the market place available to the energy companies to deliver their funding obligations under the ECO scheme.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





Mrs L M Foran - Director

DIRECTOR

STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The director is responsible for preparing the 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 she is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable her to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. She is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company 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 company's auditors are unaware, and she has taken all the steps that she ought to have taken as a director in order to make herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Douglas Fairless Partnership, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





Mrs L M Foran - Director


18 April 2024

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Live Manage Facilitate Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Live Manage Facilitate Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 November 2023 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the 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 company's affairs as at 30 November 2023 and of its 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 company 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 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 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 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 Strategic Report and the Report of the Director 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 company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Live Manage Facilitate Limited


Responsibilities of director
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page three, 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 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 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.

Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
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.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in the financial statements in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

- the nature of the industry and sector, the control environment and the impact of business performance on Directors earnings.
- results of our enquiries of management and key finance persons about their own identification and assessment of the risks and irregularities.
- any matters we identified after obtaining and reviewing company policies and procedures relating to; identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations. Detecting and responding to risks of fraud. The internal controls in place to mitigate the risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.

From this assessment, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion. Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
- enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
- reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance, reviewing correspondence with HMRC; and
- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls; we have tested the operational effectiveness of internal controls relevant to the financial statements, tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not 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.

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

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

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Turnover
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts and of Value Added Tax. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised.

Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
- The Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
- The Company retains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
- The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
- It is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
- The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably

Rendering of Services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the percentage stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
The outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably when all the following conditions are met:
- the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
- it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration under the contract;
- the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
- the costs incurred and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Short leasehold - in accordance with the property
Plant and machinery - 15% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost
Computer equipment - 25% on reducing balance

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Stocks
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Stock is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes purchase, transport and handling costs in bringing stock to their present location and condition.

Work in progress is valued based on the percentage value of works completed to date assessed by qualified quantity surveyors. Work In progress also incudes finished installations that have not yet been approved for invoicing by the customer or are in the approval process.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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.

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 company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
