GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Introduction
 
This Strategic Report provides a concise overview of Skyrora Group’s business model and performance, our key performance indicators, and our approach to sustainability and risk. It forms part of the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts for 2024. Further information about Skyrora is available on our website at www.skyrora.com.

Business overview
 
Skyrora is a next-generation launch vehicle manufacturer enabling responsive, sovereign access to space for the small-satellite market. Skyrora Group combines in-house propulsion expertise with advanced additive manufacturing and modular vehicle design to shorten development cycles, enhance reliability and reduce cost.
Alongside its core aerospace activities, Skyrora also invests in innovative technologies with applications in adjacent industrial sectors, creating diversified revenue streams and a broader platform for long-term growth.
Operational and Technical Milestones
Operationally in 2024, Skyrora advanced the Skyrora XL vehicle towards orbital flight-demonstration readiness, completing the first contract-extension milestone under the European Space Agency (ESA) Commercial Space Transportation Services and Support (CSTS) programme and securing a further extension to integrate the telemetry system on the Skylark L vehicle ahead of the second demonstration launch. Propulsion progressed with more than fifty qualification tests across ten Skyforce-2 70 kN engines.
Manufacturing capability was strengthened through modular design and expanded additive processes, led by commissioning a state-of-the-art Aero Structures Assembly Factory to support new aerospace manufacturing contracts, alongside a dedicated Lean Manufacturing Centre to improve productivity, reduce waste and streamline production.
Infrastructure upgrades to vertical test sites and domestic launch support improved schedule resilience, safety and repeatability, while engineering systems including configuration control, quality assurance and test-data management were further matured, and ISO 9001 was implemented across operations. Further details are set out in the Technical Review section.
Commercial performance
Commercially, Skyrora secured multiple diversified contracts, broadening its client base across the aerospace and R&D sectors, exemplified by a large aerospace manufacturing contract (see Technical Review section). Skyrora also expanded strategic partnerships with ESA programmes, embedding Skyrora deeper into critical mission supply chains. Additionally, the company enhanced its competitive positioning by implementing responsive pricing models and tailored customer interface systems, driving stronger client retention and extending its market reach.
Environmental, Social and Governance
Skyrora continued to embed responsible innovation into its operational planning, with comprehensive assessments informing both launch preparation and recovery strategies. Internal governance protocols were refined to align with emerging UK and EU space policies, particularly in the areas of space sustainability and orbital debris stewardship. The company also maintained proactive stakeholder engagement through forums and sector working groups, helping shape regulatory dialogue and advance risk-responsive communications.
Financial performance
Financial performance improved modestly in 2024 compared with the prior year, supported by an incoming £35.5 million aerospace manufacturing contract and continued revenue contribution from non-aerospace business units. Investment was directed towards critical test infrastructure, vehicle qualification, capability build-out, and research, design and development activities. Further details are set out in the Financial Review section.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Post Year-End Events and Future Developments1
In August 2025 Skyrora became the first UK-based manufacturer to receive a launch licence for a commercial vehicle, granted by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). With this licence secured, Skyrora is preparing for a UK-based Skylark L launch and continues to work closely with regulators, spaceports, and partners to establish regular launch activity from British soil.
Looking ahead to 2025, Skyrora is focused on completing final qualification activities towards initial orbital flight demonstrations, scaling manufacturing and test capacity to support early commercial missions, expanding the commercial pipeline and partnerships that underpin sovereign launch capability, and maintaining disciplined investment, operational excellence and risk management.
In parallel, we will execute and expand our multi-year aerospace manufacturing contracts, providing revenue visibility, supporting high utilisation of the Aerostructures Assembly Facility, and reinforcing supply-chain partnerships. The Board believes the Group is well positioned to support the UK’s ambitions in assured space access and innovation.
Technical review 
Skyrora achieved several significant technical milestones throughout 2024, reinforcing our strategic positioning and engineering advancement toward orbital launch capabilities.
We successfully completed CCN1
2, marking the formal milestone under the CSTS programme with ESA, validating the ground testing of the InRange telemetry relay system. This achievement enabled us to secure CCN23 approval from ESA, authorising the integration of the InRange system into the Skylark L suborbital vehicle ahead of the upcoming second demonstration launch of Skylark L.
Further demonstrating our industrial strength, Skyrora secured a £35.5 million aerospace manufacturing contract, leading to the establishment of a state-of-the-art Aerostructures Assembly Factory. This initiative already created more than 30 high-value skilled roles and featured a dedicated Lean Manufacturing Centre to optimise productivity, reduce waste, and streamline production processes for aerostructures.
On the engineering front, Skyrora continued rigorous qualification testing of our advanced Skyforce-2 70kN engine, completing over 50 qualification tests across 10 engines. Our Midlothian test facility is now preparing to transition from qualification to routine production acceptance testing, further enabling engine certification and consistent performance assurance.
Additionally, significant progress was made on the Skyrora XL orbital launch vehicle. The first-stage tanks were successfully subcontracted for manufacturing and testing, achieving a crucial sub-component milestone and unlocking subsequent integration phases.
Throughout 2024, Skyrora significantly enhanced its compliance framework, strengthening our business operations and governance. We invested in extensive team training programmes, increased security measures across all operational sites, and successfully implemented ISO 9001 quality management standards.
Collectively, these advancements have solidified Skyrora’s technical capabilities, regulatory compliance, and market readiness, positioning us confidently on the trajectory toward orbital launch operations.

Investment was directed towards critical test infrastructure, vehicle qualification, capability build-out, and research, design and development activities.
We applied disciplined capital allocation and maintained flexibility to preserve operational agility and balance sheet strength. Our priority remains reinvestment to accelerate innovation and capability and build capacity, with returns to shareholders considered when sustainable free cash flow exceeds business needs.
Further details are set out in the KPIs
4 section below and in the Financial Statements.

We present the nearest IFRS measures alongside our APMs, with definitions and, where relevant, reconciliations. APMs support year-on-year performance and cash generation analysis, planning and resource allocation, and external guidance. They are supplementary to IFRS measures and may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SKYRORA VENTURES LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Skyrora Ventures Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive incomethe Consolidated statement of financial position, the Company Statement of financial position, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equitythe Consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company Statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom adopted International Financial Reporting Standards ('UK adopted IFRS') .

In our opinion, the financial statements:

the  give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and the Parent Company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the Group's profit for the year then ended;

the  have been properly prepared in accordance with UK adopted IFRS; and

the  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. Ou 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  Group 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 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.
 
Emphasis of matter - Significant estimation uncertainty in the assessment of investments in subsidiaries
 

We draw your attention to Note 16 of the Group financial statements on page 43, which describes the key source of estimation uncertainty  used by management in assessing any potential impairment in the valuation of investments in subsidiary Skyrora Limited as at 31 December 2024. 
As stated in Note 16, the valuation relies on ability of the subsidiary to transition from the development to the operational phase, which is expected to generate furture income. Management recognises that the commercial and technological success of the orbital launches project depends on many factors and events in the future, creating a significant level of uncertainty regarding the ability of the subsidiary to generate sufficient income in comparison to the investment made. 
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 reportOur 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 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  or the directors' report.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SKYRORA VENTURES LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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.

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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity’s solicitors (or in-house legal team) around actual and potential litigation and claims;
Enquiry of staff in tax and compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
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;
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations

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 FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.


General information

Skyrora Ventures Limited (the 'Company') is a private company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Scotland. The Company's registered office, which is also its principal place of business, can be found on the company information page of the financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the 'Group' and individually 'Group companies'). The nature of the Group's operation and its principal activities are set in the strategic report. 

2.


Basis of preparation

The Group's consolidated and the Company's individual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations as adopted by the UK (collectively IFRSs). They were authorised for issue by the Company's board of directors on 09 December 2025.

Details of the Group's accounting policies, including changes during the year, are included in note 3.

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption available under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and elected not to present its own Statement of comprehensive income in these financial statements.

In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

The areas where judgements and estimates have been made in preparing the consolidated financial statements and their effects are disclosed in note 5.


2.1 Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items, which are measured on an alternative basis on each reporting date.


Items

Measurement basis


Right of use assets
Historical cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment loss adjusted to the revaluation of the lease liabilities.


2.2 Changes in accounting policies

i) New standards, interpretations and amendments effective from 1 January 2024

The Group has adopted all the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. 
ii) 

New standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments, which are not yet effective and have not been adopted early in these financial statements, will or may have an effect on the Company's future financial statements:

IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability – Amendments - 1 January 2025
 IFRS 9 & 7 - Amendments to the Classification and Measurements of Financial Instruments - 1 January 2026
 IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements - 1 January 2027
 IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures - 1 January 2027

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Basis of preparation (continued)


ii) New standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective (continued)

The director anticipates that the adoption of these Standards and interpretations that are not yet effective in future periods only have an impact on the results and net assets of the Company, however, it is too early to quantify this.

3.Material accounting policies

 
3.1

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:
has power over the investee;
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
 
the size of the Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at this time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

3.Material accounting policies (continued)


3.2

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors consider appropriate.
At the date of signing the balance sheet, the global economy continues to experience the impact of increasing inflation, rising interest rates and the effects of global conflicts. The directors continuously monitor these factors, mitigated, where possible, with proactive planning, supply chain and cost management.
Events arising from the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 have created uncertainty for Skyrora Limited’s Ukrainian subsidiary, Skyrora UA LLC. The ongoing war means the subsidiary may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. These events and conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on Skyrora UA LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern. Since 2022 the Group has materially reduced the subsidiary’s role in core R&D and production and implemented continuity measures, including transferring activities outside Ukraine and relocating and supporting staff, to minimise disruption. Accordingly, while disruption at Skyrora UA LLC may have temporary effects, it is not expected to interrupt the Group’s operations or alter the directors’ going-concern assessment for the Group as a whole.
In the 2024 financial year, Skyrora Limited strategically capitalised on its established aerospace manufacturing capabilities to deliver on a key a commercial contract. Following its initial success, the contract was extended beyond the year end through to 2026. This multi-year engagement will deliver substantial revenue growth, reinforcing Skyrora’s financial stability and enabling continued innovation and progress across its core operations and R&D initiatives. This strategic initiative has also demonstrated management’s ability to proactively manage geopolitical risks and maintain operational resilience in the face of challenges stemming from the war in Ukraine and its impact on the company’s subsidiary.
Therefore, whilst these uncertainties continue to exist and challenge the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the directors believe that the Company’s existing financial resources, together with the proactive actions taken by management, will enable the Company to continue to operate for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

 
3.3

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

3.Material accounting policies (continued)

 
3.4

Revenue

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer.

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

Services revenue for the year comprises commission from the resale of marketing traffic to advertisers through a third party platform.  Revenue is recognised as it is sold to advertisers on a cost per lead basis.
Products revenue relates to the sale of manufactured items and is recognised at a point in time, being when control of the item transfers to the customer. 

  
3.5

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee and recognised as a right-of-use asset, as detailed below. All other leases are classified as operating leases.


The Group as a lessee

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of a contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The Group uses the rate of raising additional borrowed funds on the lease commencement date, if the interest rate provided for the lease in agreement cannot be easily determined.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:

fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives;


The lease liability is included in the 'trade and other payables' line in the Consolidated statement of financial position.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.

The right-of-use assets are included in the 'Property, Plant and Equipment' and 'Investment Property' lines, as applicable, in the Consolidated statement of financial position.

Leasing (continued)


 The Group as a lessee (continued)


The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in note 3.10.

As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Group has used this practical expedient.

 
3.6

Foreign currency

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings;
exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks (see  for hedging accounting policies); and
exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the monetary items.

For the purposes of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated into pounds using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (and attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or joint arrangements that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.

3.6
Foreign currency (continued)

Goodwill and fair value adjustments to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed through acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income.


3.7

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

 
3.8

Government grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.


 
3.9

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.


(i) Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the consolidated Consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Taxation (continued)


(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

 
3.10

Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

Depreciation is provided on all other items of property, plant and equipment so as to write off their carrying value over their expected useful economic lives. It is provided at the following range:

Freehold property
4 years straight line
Construction in progress
4 years straight line
Right of use asset
Over the life of the lease
Plant and machinery
10 years straight line
Motor vehicles
3 years straight line
Fixtures and fittings

3.11

Intangible assets


(i) Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and is included within administrative expenses in profit or loss. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Development expenditure
10 - 20 years on a straight line basis
Computer software
10 years on a straight line basis

The Goodwill is deemed to have a infinite useful life under accounting standard IFRS 3, and will be tested annually for impairment.  


(ii) Internally-generated intangible assets

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

 
3.12

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on a weighted average basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

 
3.13

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

3.13
Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Expected credit losses policy
The Group and Company apply the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses (ECLs) using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for trade receivables. ECLs are calculated on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. Expected Credit Losses on all other assets with a financing element are recognised when the credit risk on a financial instrument is considered to have increased significantly since the initial recognition, with reference to the risk of default and changes in the macroeconomic environment. Management reviews the methodology annually to ensure that the inputs and assumptions are still applicable.

  
3.14

Defined contribution schemes

Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year to which they relate.


3.15

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. 


3.16

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

Accounting estimates and judgements

5.1 Judgement

In the application of the company's accounting policies, management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of asses and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historic 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 estimate 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.
Management are satisfied that the accounting policies are appropriate and applied consistently. Key sources of accounting estimation have been applied to potential impairments of investments in subsidiaries.


5.2 Estimates and assumptions

Impairment of investments

The recoverable amount of investments in subsidiaries is based on value-in-use calculations using cash flow projections that are sensitive to the timing of licences and growth in commercial revenues. See note 16 for futher details.

Non-current investments (continued)

Orbitonix Limited, Blue Trident Holdings Limited, Saltire Connect Limited and Softhetic Development Limited have a registered office of 5 South Charlotte Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH2 4AN. All other UK based entities have a registered office of 7 Drum Mains Park, Cumbernauld, Glasgow, Scotland, G68 9LD.
All entities are all direct subsidiaries other than those marked with an ' * ' which are indirect subsidiaries. Their  parent company is Skyrora Limited. Skyrora UA LLC's registered address is 61 Baykova str. Dnipro. Skyrora s.r.o's registered address is Cintorinska 7, 881 08, Bratislava, Slovakia. Skyrora GmbH's registered office is Niels-Stensen-Strasse 5, 33100, Paderborn, Deutschland.
During the year, on 14 May 2024, Gorfion Digital Ltd was liquidated. 
 
Management applied significant judgement in estimating future income from the diversified revenue streams. Estimates for orbital launch services are based on letters of intent from potential customers and the expected timeline to become operational; although the subsidiary obtained a launch licence from the UK CAA1 in 2025, this model is not expected to generate cash inflows until late 2026. Management recognises that the commercial and technological success of the orbital launch project depends on many factors and future events, creating uncertainty over the timing and scale of cash inflows from this model. Notwithstanding this, in late 2024 the Group introduced an aerostructure manufacturing unit whose revenue model is based on signed client contracts (and extensions) and is consistent with deliveries completed to date. This model has generated substantial operating cash flows up to the date these financial statements were authorised for issue and is subsequently expected to support steady growth in future income. This near-term contracted manufacturing income supports the recoverability of the Company’s investment in the subsidiary as at 31 December 2024. 
Management performed an impairment assessment in accordance with IAS 36 over the relevant cash-generating units and the investment in the subsidiary. Discounted cash flow models were prepared for (i) orbital launch services (based on letters of intent, expected operating costs and timing) and (ii) the manufacturing unit (based on signed contracts and delivery profile). Key assumptions include discount rates, margins and operating cost run-rates, with sensitivity analysis applied.

The carrying value of trade and other receivables classified as loans and receivables approximates fair value.

The Group and Company do not hold any collateral as security.  
No expected credit losses (ECLs) have been recognised for trade receivables in the current year following a review of expected cash flows and historical loss rates. While the policy is to assess ECL's within the lifetime of the instrument, all receivables balances are expected to be settled within 12 months and are classified as current assets. The calculation of ECL's is therefore straight forward and requires less judgment. 
No ECLs have been recognised on other assets as management determined there has been no change in credit risk from the prior year. 
The Group and Company have no past due but not impaired trade accounts receivable (2023: £Nil).

On 16 December 2024, 8 £1 ordinary shares were issued for consideration of £8.
On 19 December 2024 there was a sub-division of 28,064 £1,000 preference shares into 28,064,000 £1.000 Ordinary shares. This share reduction resulted in an increase in profit and loss reserves by £2,058,768.
On 19 December 2024 2,000 £0.001 ordinary shares were consolidated into 2 £1 ordinary shares.
The ordinary shares are classified as equity shares and entitle the shareholder to the following rights: 
Ordinary shares hold full voting rights, one share classifies as one vote and on a poll each member has one vote per share held. Ordinary shares are entitled to dividend on a winding up basis.

Financial instruments - fair values and risk management


24.1 Financial risk management objectives

The management monitors and manages the financial risk relating to the operations of the Group on a periodic basis and analyses exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. 



24.2 Value at Risk (VaR) analysis

The VaR measure estimates the potential loss in pre-taxation profit over a given holding period for a specified confidence level. The VaR methodology is a statistically defined, probability-based approach that takes into account market volatilities as well as risk diversification by recognising offsetting positions and correlations between products and markets. Risks can be measured consistently across all markets and products, and risk measures can be aggregated to arrive at a single risk number. The one-day 99% VaR number used by the Group reflects the 99% probability that the daily loss will not exceed the reported VaR.
VaR methodologies employed to calculate daily risk numbers include the historical and variance-covariance approaches. In addition to these two methodologies, Monte Carlo simulations are applied to the various portfolios on a monthly basis to determine potential future exposure.

While VaR captures the Group's daily exposure to currency and interest rate risk, sensitivity an evaluates the impact of a reasonably possible change in interest or foreign currency rates over a year. The longer time frame of sensitivity analysis complements VaR and helps the Group to assess its market risk exposures. Details of sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risk are set out in note 24.3 below and for interest rate risk in note 24.4 below.


24.3 Foreign currency risk management

The Group undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising forward foreign exchange contracts.

The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

24.Financial instruments - fair values and risk management (continued)


24.3 Foreign currency risk management (continued)


Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to the US Dollar and the Euro.

The following table details the Group's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the pound sterling against the US Dollar, as well as the Group's sensitivity to a 2% increase and decrease in the pound sterling against the Euro. 5% and 2% are the sensitivity rates used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% and 2% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the functional currency of the lender or the borrower. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the pound sterling strengthens 5% against the US Dollar and 2% against the Euro. For a 5% weakening of the pound sterling against the US dollar and a 2% weakening of the pound sterling against the Euro, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative.

24.4 Interest rate risk management

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because the entities in the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings, and by the use of interest rate swap contracts and forward interest rate contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.


24.5 Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern. 
The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. 
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

24.6 Credit risk management

Credit risk predominantly arises from trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks. The likely credit quality of each customer is assessed internally before accepting any terms of trade. Internal procedures take into account the customer's financial position, their reputation in the industry and past trading experience. As a result the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant. Cash and cash equivalents are held with banks with a minimum rating of 'A'. 

24.6 Liquidity risk management 
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Prior period adjustment

During the current financial year, it was identified by the directors, that the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023  where misstated, in connection to the reporting of investments in subsidiaries, which had been  reported elsewhere in the statement of financial position.
As a result of this, an adjustment has been made in the comparatives of these financial statements, to increase the fixed asset investments by £29,234, and subsequently reduce other debtors by the same amount.
There has been no impact to retained earnings, current or deferred tax as a result of this adjustment.
