Group Strategic Report
for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 December 2024

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 December 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
PetroStrat Limited changed its accounting date to 31st December to be in-line with all the subsidiaries and now have one common accounting end date.

The group made a profit after taxation for the year of £732k (2024: profit £1,112k). On a like for like basis, revenue was up on prior year. Europe continued to grow, fuelled by increased revenue in Norway through increased offshore work and after a number of years of decline, there was growth in the UK market. In the Rest of World (ROW) market, after the prior year higher revenues in North America & Gulf of Mexico (NAGOM) revenues reduced to more normal levels but a large Multi Client study helped push revenues to just below the prior year. Continuing in ROW market, Middle East, Latin America & Asia Pacific revenues grew, more than compensating for the reduction in Africa this being driven by offshore activity. Overall, the percentage of revenue from offshore work reduced and along with increased salary and costs operating profit reduced to 6.8% from 9.1% in the prior year.

The net assets of the Company increased to £3.8m.

During the year the Company paid a dividend of £300,000.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Commercial Risk


The war in Ukraine continues, the global oil price and security of supply have adjusted, but with the increased conflict in parts of the Middle East, uncertainty still remains and continues to impact the global oil price and security of supply leading to potential economic impacts both in the UK and globally. The company is subject to the risks and volatility in the oil and gas price and has identified risks and uncertainties to these and others relevant to its business and these include, but not limited to the following :-

- Volatility of future oil and gas prices
- Reduction in future fossil fuel energy and alternative sources of energy supply
- Geopolitical unrest, conflict and sanctions
- Credit and treasury risks (liquidity/foreign exchange) and
- General economic conditions

Liquidity Risk

The company seeks to manage financial risk, to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. All cash accounts are managed centrally by Petrostrat Ltd. The current overdraft facility with HSBC is £250,000.

Cash Flow Risk

The company can have both interest bearing assets and liabilities which are generally held at floating rates. These are monitored and the company does not hedge interest rate risk

Credit Risk


The company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on customers before sales are made. The overall indebtedness is monitored closely by the company's finance team.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The company has assets and liabilities in foreign currencies. To meet operational needs the company forward purchase US Dollars for periods up to one year to match receipts from third party customers.

Many of the risks and uncertainties as mentioned above are beyond the company's control. The company has taken steps to manage and minimise certain risks and uncertainties. These include :-
- Looking at investments in energy transition markets and alternative revenue streams;
- Maintaining a highly experienced and professional team;
- Applying procedures /controls to manage financial exposures, operational and information technological risks;
- Applying procedure/controls to manage safety, environmental and occupational health measures;
- Employing insurance, risk management and disaster recovery programmes and;
- Regular reviews of the company's operational results.

Group Strategic Report
for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 December 2024

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
The companies ( Misellaneous Reporting) Regulations 2018 requires the directors to state how they have discharged their duties under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006. Section 172 places a duty on the directors to promote the of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole and with regard to broader stakeholder interests.

DECISION MAKING AND STANDARDS OF BUSINESS CONDUCT
In carrying out their responsibilities to the company's shareholders, the directors give due consideration for the likely long-term consequences of their decisions on Petrostrat and the maintenance of Petrostrat's reputation for the highest standards of business conduct. The directors also have regard for the interests of the company's employees, business relationships with the company's stakeholders, the environmental impact of the company's operations and the environment in which it operates. Consideration of these factors and other relevant matters has been fundamental to all aspects of the directors' decision making process during the year and in evaluating the risks facing the company.

OUTLOOK
With the previously announced acquisition of Viridien's Geology group on 1st February 2025, the company will be focused on integrating these 69 employees into the business and developing/expanding the Middle East and African markets through our Exploration team. The company will continue to support its main traditional market in the energy sector whilst growing revenue in energy transition market and digitalisation of our product offerings. Our new digital product, Connect, has been launched increasing our product offering and revenue streams. The large Multi Client study in NAGOM will be completed and the company is looking to grow Multi Clients study revenue. All these will contribute to a significant uplift in the company's revenue in the coming year.

KPI'S
Key financial and other performance indicators relating to sales, margins, efficiency, operating costs and profit are reviewed on a monthly basis by the company's Director's and management team. The company also monitors a number of non-financial indicators on health, safety, environment and quality

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Through its full ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) accreditation, the company continues to monitor and improve its impact on the environment, both on they way it operates and how it can impact energy transition.

EMPLOYEES
As with previous financial years, this year has been challenging for the company. The increased demands of offshore activity has required our employees to be continually flexible and adaptable. I would like to extend my and the boards grateful thanks to our employees for their continued commitment, dedication, hard work, during another challenging and successful year. This will also be required in the coming year as the company integrates the Veridien Geology group acquisition in to the company.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, 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). 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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;
- 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group 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 directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Salisbury & Company Business Solutions Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





Mr P Cornick - Director


30 September 2025

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
PetroStrat Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of PetroStrat Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the period ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the group's profit for the period 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 group 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 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 and 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.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors 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 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 Report of the Directors.

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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
PetroStrat Limited


Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

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. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatement in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned in accordance with ISA (UK).

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the group and the industry in which it operates through our general commercial and sector experience and discussions with management. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: The Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 the 'Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and relevant UK tax legislation. In addition, we concluded that there are certain laws and regulations that may have an effect on the determination of the amounts and disclosures within the financial statements such as Health and Safety laws and regulations.

We accessed the susceptibility of the group's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
- Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud;
- Obtaining an understanding of the internal controls that management have in place to prevent and detect fraud;
- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies used;
- Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular manual or unusual entries;
- Obtaining third party confirmations of all the companies banking arrangements;
- Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting.
The assessment of the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team included consideration of the engagements team's knowledge of the industry in which the client operates in and understanding of, and practical experience with, audit engagements of a similar nature and complexity through appropriate training and participation.

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 detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment.

Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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.

Other matter
We note that the 2022 financial statements were not audited. Consequently ISAs (UK) require the auditor to state that the corresponding figures within these statements are unaudited. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
PetroStrat Limited


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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

PetroStrat 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 General 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 as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statement incorporate those of Petrostrat UK Ltd and all of its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries acquired during the year are consolidated using the purchase method. Their results are incorporated from the date that control passes.

Subsidiaries financial statements are converted into sterling, the profit and loss is converted using the average exchange rate and the Balance Sheet is converted using the spot rate.

All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrelaised losses are also eliminated unless the transactions provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

The cost of a business combination is the fair value at the acquisition date of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. The excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates an assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimate and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amount of the asset and liabilities are deferred income, accrued revenue, bad debt provision & accruals. Other estimates are depreciation, amortisation of goodwill and prepayments.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2020, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of four years.

Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2022, is being amortised evenly over its useful life of 15 years.

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

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated 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 calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised ot the liability is settled based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

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