| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| The principal activity of the company during the year was manufacture and supply of sensors, primarily for the Defence sector. The products range from seismic acoustic sensors to cameras. The majority of Sales are to other NATO end users via our Parent Company and with the minority to the UK Ministry of Defence. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| During the year, the company generated turnover of £12,623,923 (prior year: £15,856,793) and an operating profit of £797,635 (prior year: £582,496). |
| Key factors affecting performance during the year included: |
| • Change of direct to indirect sales via our Parent company. This ratio primarily affects the revenue as operating profit is primarily based on intercompany transfer pricing agreements. |
| • 2023 business was driven primarily by licensed manufacturing contract with lower margin compared to the normal contract manufacturing activities. |
| The Directors are satisfied with the performance of the company during the year and consider the results to be in line with expectations. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The Directors consider the following to be the principal risks and uncertainties facing the company: |
| Market risk: Defence budgets have a positive long term trend with increasing commitments from NATO partners. However, the timing of available budget could affect the Group's business. The company manages this through strong financial controls along with the continued support of the wider Group. |
| Operational risk: Global Supply chains have been disrupted due to Macro-Economic events, particularly regarding raw materials. Ensuring that the company is not wholly reliant on one source or nation for sub-components remains a constant challenge. The company has actively second sourced most of the critical components to minimise this risk where possible. |
| Currency risk: With a significant proportion of revenue coming from export sales, exchange rates could have an adverse effect on the accounts. Where possible, the Company works with Great British Pounds to eliminate this risk. |
| Regulatory risk: Export Control of some products remains a managed risk and we actively retain trained personnel to ensure continued compliance. |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPIS) |
| The Directors monitor the performance of the business using a range of financial key performance indicators. The key indicators for the year were as follows: |
| KPI | 2024 | 2023 |
| Turnover | £12,623,923 | £15,856,793 |
| Operating profit | £797,635 | £582,496 |
| Operating profit margin | 6.3% | 3.7% |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AND POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS |
| Since the year end multiple new contracts have been signed which will continue to fill the manufacturing capacity available. In addition the Company welcomes the launch of the Strategic Defence Review that provides long-term certainty to the UK Defence Sector, particularly with respect to sensors and AI. It is foreseen that this will open up new opportunities for the product range in the coming years. |

| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| ENVIRONMENTAL, EMPLOYEE AND SOCIAL MATTERS |
| The company is committed to operating in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. During the year the company: |
| • Continued efforts to reduce its Carbon Footprint and is committed to Net-Zero by 2050. Since 2021 the company has reduced its energy usage by 32.8% through various means such as LED lighting and new, modern heating systems. |
| • Completed its Social Values report with 'This is Purpose' outlining how the Company will support its staff and local community in the coming years. The Company is proud that it is one of the first UK SMEs that has launched this type of report with Government backing. |
| • Maintained continued compliance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 to uphold our standards in quality and the environment. |
| • Increased the percentage of waste recycled by 24.1% since 2021. |
| The company maintained employee engagement through flexible working policies and hosting various social events throughout the year. Of note was the introduction of an annual all-staff trip to our Parent Company to facilitate closer working relationships. |
| APPROVAL OF THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
| The directors have completed an exercise on the future projections of the company and concluded that it continues to be a going concern. The directors are confident of being able to trade for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of the financial statements. |
| This strategic report was approved by the Board of Directors on 12th September 2025 and signed on its behalf by Will Tucker (director) |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Bertin Exensor Limited (Registered number: 02327794) |

| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of design, development, manufacture, sale and service of advanced electronic systems and equipment for military and industrial applications. |
| DIVIDENDS |

| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2024 to the date of this report. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are 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 directors are required to: |
| - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed; and |
| - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company 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 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 hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are 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 each director 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 company's auditors are aware of that information. |

| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Constantin, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Bertin Exensor Limited |
| Report on the audit of the financial statements |
| Opinion |
| In our opinion the financial statements of Bertin Exensor Limited (the 'company'): |
| - give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31st December 2024 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
| - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"; and |
| - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
| We have audited the financial statements which comprise: |
| - the Income Statement; |
| - the statement of comprehensive income; |
| - the balance sheet; |
| - the statement of changes in equity; |
| - the statement of accounting policies; and |
| - the related notes 1 to 19. |
| 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). |
| 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 auditor's 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 Financial Reporting Council's (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 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. |
| Other information |
| 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. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Bertin Exensor Limited |
| As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are 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 directors determine is 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 directors are 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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Auditor's 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 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 financial statements. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditors responsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. |
| Extent to which the audit was considered 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. |
| We considered the nature of the company's industry and its control environment, and reviewed the company's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management and the directors about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including those that are specific to the company's business sector. |
| We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework[s] that the company operates in, and identified the key laws and regulations that: |
| - had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. This included UK Companies Act and tax legislation; and |
| - do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. This included Export Control Order 2008 (UK), NIS2 Directive (EU) and DSPCR 2011(UK) among others. |
| We discussed among the audit engagement team regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements. |
| In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
| In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following: |
| - reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements; |
| - performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; |
| - enquiring of management and in-house legal counsel concerning actual and potential litigation and claims, and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and |
| - reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. |
| Report on other legal and regulatory requirements |
| 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 directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Bertin Exensor Limited |
| - 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 any material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report. |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report in respect of the following matters 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 directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of these matters. |
| 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 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. |

| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Bertin Exensor Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
| The Company has taken advantage of Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1.12 "Reduce disclosure for subsidiaries". The Company is a qualifying entity within a group whose financial statements are publicly |
| available. The following disclosure exemptions were taken: |
| (a) The requirements of Section 4 Statement of Financial Position paragraph 4.12(1)(iv) |
| (b) The requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows and Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation |
| paragraph 33.17(d) |
| (c) The requirement of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7 |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents the value of services provided or goods manufactured under contracts recognized based on the percentage of completion. Revenue is recognized to the extent that there is a right to consideration, measured at the value of consideration due. For contracts that are partially completed as of the balance sheet date, revenue is recognized proportionally to the progress made toward satisfying the performance obligation, typically determined by input or output measures, provided the right to consideration has been established. |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill has been fully amortised. |
| 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. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Leasehold property | - |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Office furniture and equipment | - |
| Motor Vehicles | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| 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. Costs include only direct expenditure. |
| 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. |

| Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| 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. |
| Leases |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Operating lease rentals are charged to the profit and loss account in accordance with the payments made in respect of the individual lease agreements. |
| 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. |
| Critical judgements in applying the company’s accounting policies |
| The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (which are dealt with separately below), that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
| i) Revenue recognition timing - Judgement is required in determining the appropriate timing of revenue recognition for certain projects that do not follow a standard percentage-of-completion methodology. These include manually tracked or billing-based projects. Contractual terms and the substance of the arrangement are considered when applying the revenue recognition policy. |
| Key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below. |
| i) Percentage-of-completion revenue recognition - Estimating project progress, total contract costs, and future profitability requires ongoing reassessment and can materially impact revenue and margin recognition. |
| ii) Provisions - These are made using the best estimates of the obligations, taking into account the likelihood, timing, and magnitude of potential outflows. |
