STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The directors present their strategic report for Trac Precision Solutions Limited (the "Company") for the period ended 31 March 2025.
The Company manufactures and supplies complex engine components into global blue-chip customers within the aviation and power generation markets.
On 18th December 2024 the business was acquired by PTC Industries Limited from Rcapital. The acquisition provided the opportunity to further invest, develop and grow the business from a solid financial footing that has seen the business return to EBITDA profitability over the past couple of accounting periods. As a result of acquisition, permission was granted to shorten the accounting period to 11 months covering the period 1st May 2024 to 31st March 2025, which aligns the reporting dates of the business to that of its owners. The business has continued to improve commercially, operationally and financially since the date of these Financial Statements, with commitments to invest in machining capabilities and the introduction of new products and improved efficiencies forecast for the new financial reporting period.
The results of the Company for the period, as set out on pages 12 and 13, show a profit before tax of £1.025m (11 months). This compares to a profit of £1.522m in the year ended 30 April 2024 (12 months).
The Company reported an operating profit of £1.315m for the period, which was a decrease from the £1.910m operating profit reported in the prior year. In summary, gross profit % levels have been maintained year on year, but the business has seen an increase in administrative expenses as general inflationary costs in the UK have been absorbed by the business, despite extensive efforts to eliminate costs where possible. The business has continued to make commercial and operational improvements, and those have built a strong base for the company to continue to develop. New packages of work secured in the year are now beginning to come through as sales and overall, the business is expecting to grow both revenue and profitability going forward.
The overall net asset position of the Company has decreased, following the payment of dividends and as a result of increased amount owed to group undertakings (see note 17). As at 31st March 2025, net assets were £4.95m, compared to £11.92m in the prior period.
The business sector remains competitive with the Company being well placed to take advantage of the skills and process capability it offers to the major stakeholders in aerospace and power generation markets.
The Company continues to focus on new engine development programmes in order to secure the long-term future. The Company is also focussed on a collaborative approach with its major customers in order to develop continuity of development and manufacture, as well as with new and emerging customers.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The process of risk acceptance and risk management is addressed through a framework of policies, procedures and internal controls. All policies are subject to Board approval and ongoing review by management, risk management and internal audit. Compliance with regulation, legal and ethical standards is a high priority for the Company and the compliance team, and the Company finance department take on an important oversight role in this regard.
The Company uses various financial instruments including cash, invoice discounting facility, trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Company's operations; however, their existence exposes the Company to a number of financial risks which are described in more detail below: Currency risk Transaction exposures, including those associated with forecast transactions, are assessed and hedging is considered where the risks facing the Company are outside acceptable limits. Whilst the aim is to achieve an economic hedge, the Company does not adopt an accounting policy of hedge accounting for these financial statements. Foreign exchange differences on retranslation of these assets and liabilities are taken to the profit and loss account. Liquidity risk The Company seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs. The objective is to ensure a mix of funding methods offering flexibility and cost effectiveness to match the needs of the Company. Longer term borrowing is achieved by utilising finance leases and invoice discounting. The maturity of borrowings is set out in notes 16 and 17 to the financial statements. Interest rate risk During the reported year, the Company finances its operations through a mixture of finance leases and invoice discounting facilities. The Company's policy during the year was to arrange loans with a floating rate of interest plus an agreed margin and to arrange finance leases with a fixed or variable interest rate. Credit risk The principal credit risk arises from its trade debtors. To manage credit risk, the directors set limits for customers based on a combination of payment history and third-party credit references. Credit limits are reviewed by the finance department on a regular basis in conjunction with debt ageing and collection history.

Decisions are made around the Company’s values, policies and processes. The Company’s core values are:
∙Excellence
∙Teamwork
∙Growth
Each year a strategic plan, a financial forecast for the current year and financial projections for the future year are produced. The Directors of the Company and Senior Leadership Team contribute towards this process to identify and manage the potential risks within the business. In so doing, the Directors have regard to a variety of matters including the interests of various stakeholders, the consequences of their decisions in the long-term and ultimately the reputation of the Company.

The business recognises that by empowering people they contribute to improving business performance and creates the right environment to allow people to develop to their full potential. This is also particularly important with respect to safety related matters, which is an inherent part of the Company’s business. The Company and its directors encourage free reporting of near misses, mistakes and errors which is fundamental in establishing and maintaining a just culture.
Employees are provided with the means to give their views and feedback via regular employee engagement surveys. This is followed up by “you said, we did” communication to feedback actions taken from these surveys. In addition to this quarterly “all hands” sessions take place all the workforce to communicate the current and future situation of the business. There is also the opportunity for employees to be invited to join the Managing Director for “breakfast” to engage in two-way communication.
The Directors recognise that fostering business relationships with key stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers and regulatory authorities is essential to the Company’s success. The company provides manufactured parts into the aerospace, energy and military sectors. Strong and collaborative relationships with our customers help us to meet customer demand and reduce costs from the manufacturing process. The Company has had great success from initiating customer focused lean events in site.
The company works with its suppliers to ensure that all raw material requirements are provided in the most cost effective and timely manner as to meet operational demand.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Directors recognise the importance of leading a company that not only generates value for shareholders but also contributes to the wider society. Giving back to the communities in which we operate, and to charities that have meaning to the employees of the business is vitally important to our Company, allowing us to make a positive difference and have an impact where it counts.
We recognise that our operations have an impact on the environment, from the energy and resources we use to the waste that we generate. As an organisation, we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our operations and are accredited with ISO14001.
All employees of the Company are expected to act in accordance with the requirements of the Companies HR policies, including our Code of Conduct, at all times. This reduces the risk of compliance failure and supports us in attracting and retaining high-calibre employees.
Research and development expenditure is written off in the Statement of comprehensive income in the year in which it is incurred.
The market for air travel and efficient power generation continues to grow and as the Company continues to align itself with the major providers of engine development. With that said, the opportunities within the aviation and power-generation sectors continue to promote the growth within the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TRAC PRECISION SOLUTIONS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Trac Precision Solutions Limited (the 'Company') for the period ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the Statement of changes in equity 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).
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 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 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 TRAC PRECISION SOLUTIONS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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 Strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the 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 Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report or the Directors' report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TRAC PRECISION SOLUTIONS 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 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:
Based on our understanding of the Company and industry, key laws and regulations that we identified included:
∙Companies Act;
∙Tax legislation; and
∙Health and safety and employment legislation.
We identified that the principal risk of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations related to:
∙Management bias in respect of accounting estimates and judgements made;
∙Management override of controls; and
∙Posting of unusual journals or transactions.
We focused on those areas that could give rise to a material misstatement in the Company's financial statements.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to:
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims, including instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
∙Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance, where available;
∙Reviewing legal expenditure in the year to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
∙Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and
∙Performing audit work over the risk of management 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 bias, in particular the valuation of stock.
It is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.

TRAC PRECISION SOLUTIONS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TRAC PRECISION SOLUTIONS 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 PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Trac Precision Solutions Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England, United Kingdom. The Company's registration number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. The principal activity of the Company is disclosed in the Directors Report.
The financial statements cover an 11 month period from 1 May 2024 to 31 March 2025. The previous financial period covered a 12 month accounting period from 1 May 2023 to 30 April 2024. The reporting period has been shortened in order to harmonise the reporting period with that of the ultimate parent undertaking, PTC Industries Limited. As a result, the reported figures for the current and comparative year and therefore not entirely comparable.
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 management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The presentation currency of these financial statements is Sterling. All amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest £1,000.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
∙the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
∙the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
∙the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
∙the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A;
∙the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.
This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Trac Holdings Limited (formerly Rcap Eleven Limited) as at 31 March 2025 and these financial statements may be obtained from the registered office address of 9A Marshfield Bank Business Park, Middlewich Road, Crewe, Cheshire, CW2 8UY.

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The current economic conditions present risks for all businesses. In response to such conditions, the directors have carefully considered these risks, including the assessment of uncertainty on future trading projection for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statement, and the extent to which they might affect the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis.
The directors have confirmed that they believe that the Company will be operating on a going concern basis. Demand from existing customers remains strong and, coupled with new product introduction, the Directors envisage the Company position will enable to continue to grow and invest in machining capabilities, after taking into consideration possible downsides, which include increased energy costs, inflationary increases and increases to interest rates. The Balance sheet is reflecting a net current asset position. Based on this assessment, the directors consider that the Company maintains an appropriate level of liquidity sufficient to meet the demands of the business, consequently the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meets its liabilities as the fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and, therefore, have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
Revenues and costs expressed in foreign currencies are translated into Sterling rates of exchange ruling on the date on which the transactions occur, except for transactions to be settled at a contracted rate. Differences arising on the translation of such items are dealt with in the Statement of comprehensive income.
Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and reduction of the outstanding liability using the rate implicit in the lease. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. Contributions payable to the Company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of comprehensive income in the period to which they relate.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the cost attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis at rates calculated to write down assets to estimated residual value over their expected useful life as follows:
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether tangible fixed assets are impaired.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed if there is an indication of a significant change since the last annual reporting date in the pattern by which the Company expects to consume an asset's future economic benefits.
Financial assets (including trade and other debtors)
A financial asset not carried at fair value through the Statement of comprehensive income is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset can be estimated reliably.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. For financial instruments measured at cost less impairment an impairment is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income. When subsequent events cause the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through the Statement of comprehensive income.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets, other than stocks, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss is reversed if and only if the reasons for the impairment have ceased to apply.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received; however, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
The key source of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date relates to the carrying value of stock and work in progress. Management continually assesses the recoverability of its assets in light of customer demand. The Directors consider that there are no other critical accounting judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to the principal activity of the Company.
