STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The principal activity of the company has been that of precision engineering, design, machining, fabrication and surface treatment services.
The results for the year are set out on page 8 of the financial statements. Turnover decreased by 5% to £13,446,031 resulting in an operating loss of £5,544,914. As at 31 March 2025 net assets have decreased to £1,734,417 (2024 - £5,982,234) with no dividends paid in the fiscal year (2024 - £Nil). The directors and management undertook and continue to undertake mitigating actions to address the impact of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, domestic economic conditions and the war in Ukraine and their impact on the company. This is coupled with the continued increase in international trade protection 'policies. The directors expect improved trading conditions in the civil aviation manufacturing business over the next one to two years. All necessary measures have been and are being undertaken to ensure future profitability.
The directors continue to invest in high end manufacturing capabilities and consider the company to be relatively well placed to win and execute engineering business in the aviation sector. In the opinion of the directors the uncomplicated nature of the company's business does not warrant an analysis of KPl is to fully understand the company's development, performance or position.
The company seeks to broaden its customer base and capabilities to limit its exposure to changes in demand. The principal challenge is to remain competitive in a global marketplace with continual increases in raw material and utility costs. The directors have maintained a policy of capital investment, to continually improve productivity and to manage its commercial pricing to ensure minimal exposure, whilst remaining competitive. The company does not have significant exposure to exchange fluctuations, as the majority of its contracts pass such risk to its customers. The company retains a positive net cash position, with no debt, loans and immaterial asset finance which therefore has minimal exposure to fluctuations in interest rates which remain at historically low levels.
There are no significant post balance sheet events at the date these accounts are authorised.
This report was approved by the board on 16 December 2025 and signed on its behalf.

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INFLITE ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Inflite Engineering Services Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of income and retained earnings, the Balance sheet, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INFLITE ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report or the Directors' report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INFLITE ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with law and regulations, was as follows:
∙Ensuring that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussions with directors, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant sector;
∙The specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial
statements or the operations of the Company, are as follows - Companies Act 2006, FRS 102, Employment legislation and Tax legislation;
∙We assessed the extent of the compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙Laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and the audit team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
∙Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, theirknowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
∙Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Reviewing the financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation;
∙Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies;
∙Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions; and
∙Assessing whether judgement and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates were indicative of management bias.
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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The Directors make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below. (a) Stock provision Provisions are made for items of stock which have become obsolete in the day to day running of the Company, namely if they have not been used for more than two years prior to the year end. The stock is reviewed on a regular basis by the directors and provisions are made when necessary. (b) Useful economic lives of tangible assets The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 6 for the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment, and note 2.8 for the useful economic lives for each class of asset. (c) Provision for dilapidations The Company recognises provisions for dilapidations in relation to its leased properties, representing the estimated costs of restoring the properties to their original condition at the end of the lease term, in accordance with the lease agreements. The provision is recognised when the Company judges that is has an obligation, in its present condition, to restore the property, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle that obligation. The provision is measured based on management's best estimate of the costs required to meet the obligation, taking into account factors such as the condition of the properties, the length of the remaining lease term, and expected future cost inflation. These estimates are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect any significant changes in circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty in estimating the future costs of dilapidations, the provision is subject to a degree of judgment.
