STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors present their strategic report together with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The principal activity of the Company is the provision of stock and distribution of components to the commercial aviation industry. Sentry is a global company that serves nearly 700 customers in over 85 countries. Our vision is to become the trusted global supplier of choice for aviation after-market spares.
The company continued its high-performance levels with the central tenet of customer excellence being our guiding principle. Throughout the year we have continued to support our key customers as well as develop new ones, minimised financial risk and exposure, whilst investing and implementing in our multi-faceted strategic plans and initiatives. The outstanding performance of these initiatives helped to increase turnover by 21% and record the highest revenue figure in the company’s history. With our future planned growth investments and the expected continued increase in flight activity levels means we enter 2026 with tremendous business momentum and anticipating another exciting and successful year.
The volume of commercial air traffic continues to increase with commercial flights in 2025 up 4% on 2024. The expectation is that aircraft activity and passenger load factors will continue to climb during 2026 and beyond.
The current (March 2026) conflict in the Middle East has however created some uncertainty with some airspace closures, rising aviation fuel prices and the potential for softer consumer demand if the conflict is prolonged through macro-economic impact on personal finances. Whilst an adverse impact is possible the likelihood of a sizable material impact is, at this stage, viewed as unlikely. The Company in 2026 will continue to be cash generative and profitable due to the low level of overheads and lean culture whilst also forging ahead with its longer-term strategic initiatives to support future growth.
The Company’s operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company has in place a risk management programme that seeks to limit the adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company by monitoring levels of debt finance and related finance costs.
Currency Risk The company conducts substantially all of its business in US Dollars, the currency that the international commercial aviation industry uses in order to set market prices for goods and services. For this reason, the company is exposed to risk from exchange rate fluctuations when converting US Dollars to Pounds Sterling, which it needs to defray certain administrative overhead expenses. The company mitigates the risk by operating various foreign currency bank accounts. Credit & Liquidity Risk The Company actively maintains a mixture of long-term and short-term debt finance that ensures that the Company has sufficient available funds for the Company’s operation and future expansion plans. Working capital is monitored and managed to ensure that cash receivables from debtors is available within a timely manner that allows credit obligations to be met.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
After due and careful consideration of the requirements set out in S172, and having regard to long-term consequences and the interests of stakeholders in relation to Board decision-making, the Directors, during the financial year ending 31 December 2025, have acted in a way that they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Company, and the Group of which it is a part, for the benefit of all of its stakeholders as a whole.
This statement sets out how the Board has acted in a way that promotes the success of the Company, and Group of which it is a part, in achieving its vision to become the trusted global supplier of choice for commercial aviation after-market spares. When making decisions, the Board takes into account: a) The likely consequences of any decision in the long term:
∙The interests or concerns of, and impact on, our key stakeholders;
∙The impact of our decisions and operations on the communities in which we operate and the environment;
∙The need to maintain a reputation for high standards of business conduct.
b) The interests of the Group’s employees:
∙The Directors recognise that Sentry employees are fundamental and core to our business and the delivery of our strategic ambitions. The success of our business depends on attracting, retaining, developing and motivating talented employees.
∙The Group maintains an open dialogue with its employees, and they are recognised and valued by the Directors through a variety of ways to achieve effective engagement including:
°Regular town hall style all hands meetings, leadership, team and department meetings;
°Actively seeking employee feedback through employee network groups, Q&A sessions, and an open culture;
°The provision of learning and development opportunities for employees, covering hard and soft skills, as well as managing training and mental health.
c) The need to foster the Group’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others, by ensuring all stakeholders are treated within the spirit and detail of the Sentry ethics polices and core values. It is important for all levels of the business to engage with stakeholder groups to gain a better understanding of their interests and concerns and the impact our decisions have on them.
d) The impact of the Group’s operations on the community and the environment, including consideration of climate change through appropriate Energy Savings Opportunities. The Group’s corporate sustainability starts with a Group’s value system and a principles-based approach to doing business. This means operating in ways that, at a minimum, meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Sentry supports and adheres to the 10 principles of the UN Global compact. e) The ongoing requirement to maintain a high standard of business conduct:
∙The Group has a robust system of governance and risk management in place. The desirability of the company to maintain a reputation for high standards of business conduct, through the organisation’s values, culture and ethical standards, as set out in the Group’s business principles, which are published on its website. Our core values represent the foundation of our culture: be customer focused, obsess over service, quality in everything we do, be accountable, act innovatively, be passionate and integrity. They help us develop, grow and better serve our clients, talent and other stakeholders. All employees of the Group engage in regular training on ethics and are encouraged to report any concerns through a confidential framework of communication avenues.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting Disclosure (SECR)
This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with the Companies Directors' Report and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018. The reporting boundary follows the operational control approach, covering UK operations for the reporting period under review.
The figures disclosed are based on actual consumption data and represent the organisation’s energy use and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during the reporting period.
Energy Consumption and Efficiency Total energy consumption for the period was 173,678 kWh (prior year: 132,480 kWh), comprising: Grid supplied electricity: 129,704 kWh (prior year: 92,940 kWh) On site solar electricity generation: 43,974 kWh (prior year: 39,543 kWh) Electricity generated from on site solar photovoltaic installations is consumed directly and has been treated as zero emission electricity for operational reporting purposes. Energy usage has been normalised against organisational size to aid comparability over time. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Greenhouse gas emissions have been calculated using UK Government GHG Conversion Factors, expressed in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO?e). Scope 1 Emissions There were no Scope 1 emissions reported during the period, as the organisation did not consume fossil fuels directly under operational control. Scope 2 Emissions (Electricity) Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity totalled 25.03 tCO2e. These emissions relate solely to grid supplied electricity. Electricity generated from on site solar installations resulted in no associated Scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 Emissions (Selected categories) The organisation has reported selected Scope 3 emissions relating to waste generated in operations: Category Current Year Prior Year General waste (tCO2e) 5.25 7.6 Food waste (tCO2e) 0.01 0 Total Scope 3 (reported) 5.25 7.6 Recycled waste streams, including paper, mixed recycling, toner cartridges, and batteries, have been excluded from the Scope 3 total for conservatism, with no avoided emissions credits applied. Food waste arisings were minimal and resulted in immaterial emissions of approximately 0.01 tCO2e. Total Emissions Summary Emissions Category Current Year (tCO2e) Prior Year (tCO2e) Total emissions 30.28 38.897 Intensity Metric In compliance with SECR requirements, the organisation reports an emissions intensity ratio: Total emissions per employee: • Current year: 0.48 tCO1e per employee • Prior year: 0.65 tCO1e per employee The average number of employees during the reporting period was 63 (prior year: 59).

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
This metric has been selected as it provides a consistent and relevant measure of carbon efficiency for an office based organisation.
Energy Efficiency Actions The organisation continues to take steps to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions, including: Investment in on site solar generation, reducing reliance on grid electricity and avoiding approximately 8.5 tCO2e during the reporting period. Ongoing waste segregation and recycling programmes, diverting over 7 tonnes of waste from landfill. Responsible recycling of toner cartridges and batteries through approved recycling schemes. Monitoring of energy consumption to identify opportunities for operational efficiency Further energy efficiency initiatives are under review as part of the organisation’s commitment to continuous environmental improvement. Methodology Statement Energy consumption data has been obtained from meter readings and system records. Emissions calculations have been performed using the UK Government’s greenhouse gas reporting conversion factors applicable to the reporting year. All data has been reviewed for internal consistency and reasonableness.
There have been no significant events affecting the Company since the year end.
The auditor, MHA Audit Services LLP, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SENTRY AEROSPARES LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Sentry Aerospares Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including 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.

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
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.

SENTRY AEROSPARES LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SENTRY AEROSPARES 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 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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙A review of legal and professional expense nominal accounts for any indications of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of large and otherwise unusual journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness;
∙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 Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's Report.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods and services net of VAT and trade discounts.
Sale of goods Revenue in respect of parts supplied both as outright sales and on exchange is recognised on delivery to the customer. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods), the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Rendering of services Revenue for services supplied, such as repair charges, exchange charges and outright sales charges are recognised on completion of the services. All such services are short term in nature. Revenue received from ancillary services is recognised when the right to receive payment is established, which is normally at the date of the transaction.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment. Impairment of financial assets At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate. If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Other financial instruments
Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss. Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained. Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
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. Critical accounting estimates and judgments The following are the critical accounting estimates and judgments that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. Stock The Company writes down stock to net realisable value based on an estimate on the realisability of stock. Write-downs of stock are recorded where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be realised. The identification of write-downs requires the use of judgment and estimates. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate or judgment, such difference will impact the carrying value of stock and write-downs of stock in the periods in which such estimates or judgments have been changed. Impairment of trade debtors The Company's overall focus is on supporting well-capitalised profitable customers. As part of the ongoing risk evaluation and mitigation the Company has a methodical customer credit evaluation process which uses a number of different external data points in addition to using credit insurance. The Company also calculates and includes into the accounts a receivables provision based on the aged nature of the open receivable balances and using additional subjective and objective data points. The Company applies judgment in determining the appropriate classification, useful lives, depreciation methodology and residual values of certain high value aviation assets, primarily Auxiliary Power Units (“APUs”) and Landing Gear assemblies. During the year, management reassessed the economic use of these assets and concluded that, when deployed in leasing and exchange activities, they are held for use in the supply of services over more than one accounting period and are therefore appropriately classified as property, plant and equipment rather than inventory. Depreciation is calculated using usage based methodologies reflecting expected daily utilisation or hours/cycles operated, subject to asset specific minimum residual values. These judgments require estimates of utilisation patterns, holding periods, future overhaul costs and recoverable end of life values. Actual usage, market conditions or overhaul costs may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions, and any changes in these estimates would result in an adjustment to the carrying value of the assets and the depreciation charge in the period in which such estimates are revised.
