GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
Goonhilly Holdings Ltd is the holding company of a group whose principal activity is the provision of satellite ground station services and related telecommunications solutions.
∙Goonhilly Earth Station Limited registered in the UK and operating a large satellite ground station in Cornwall.
∙Goonhilly Holdings USA Inc. registered in Delaware, USA and through its subsidiary Goonhilly Inc operating two smaller teleports in Southbury, Connecticut and Santa Paula, California.
The UK subsidiary (“GES”) operated three business units:
∙Deep Space
∙Commercial SatCom
∙National Security
During the year, the Group continued to explore opportunities to expand its offering, including the development of data centre services. The business was run by three Managing Directors; one for each of the business units.
The Group recorded revenue of £14.0 million for the year (2024: £10.1 million), representing an increase of 39%. Despite revenue growth, the Group reported an operating loss of £2.9 million (2024: £3.1 million loss), reflecting ongoing investment in infrastructure and business development.
At the year end, the Group reported net liabilities of £1.6m compared to net assets of £2.7m in 2024. The increase in revenue reflects improved activity levels across the Group’s core markets. However, profitability continues to be impacted by the cost base required to support the Group’s infrastructure and its strategic repositioning into distinct business units. The group continued to operate in the ground segment of the space sector. This involved managing a number of antennas in the three locations. Results in this market had been unsatisfactory for several years, but the Group is optimistic that this would see a change as a result of the change in management structure. The creation of focussed business units has allowed a better utilisation of resources as well as better pricing mechanisms and more effective customer relationship management. The Management Team is optimistic with respect to the Group’s ability to:
∙Increase the number of service offerings
∙Find customers for the data centre
∙Improve overall profitability

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
Satisfactory Relationship with Key Customers
It was important for the group to maintain a good relationship with some of its key customers as well as to expand on the customer base. With increased focus in the defined markets, this was seen as satisfactory with low risk of deteriorating. Satisfactory Staff Retention With a somewhat remote location, it was sometimes challenging to find the right skill set in new staff members, but internal programmes and focus on staff retention were giving the group satisfactory results with respect to hires, upskilling and retention. Satisfactory Brand Recognition The Goonhilly brand continued to enjoy a very high recognition in the industry as well as being attributed to dependable deliverables. Financial Situation The group continues to enjoy support from its majority shareholders (The Hargreaves Family Settlements). This is in spite of several years of unsatisfactory results.
The Directors monitor the performance of the Group using a range of financial and non-financial measures.
These include:
∙Revenue growth
∙Operating profit/loss
∙Net assets/liabilities
These KPIs are considered appropriate and have been commented upon within the business review section of this report.
This report was approved by the board on 29 May 2026 and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2025.
The loss for the year, after taxation, amounted to £4,345,313 (2024: loss £4,334,965).
The directors who served during the year were:
Following several years of unsatisfactory results, the Directors are optimistic that the situation will improve. This is primarily as a result of the division into business units, refocus of customer relationships, more coherent global group structure, refocus on the data centre business, and the continued support from the majority shareholders.
On 5 October 2025, there was a fire in the equipment building of GHY-6 within Goonhilly Earth Station Limited. The fire was caused by a failed UPS. GHY-6 was operational again on 6 January 2026. As a result of the fire, Goonhilly incurred damages, however losses incurred as a result of the fire are expected to be covered by insurance for a value of up to £6m. The Group does not expect the incident to have a material impact on the business going forward.
On 20 October 2025, the Company drew down an additional $2m of loan notes from their existing loan note agreement. In addition, the Company drew down a further $2m of loan notes from their existing agreement on 12 March 2026. On 14 May 2026 Goonhilly Holdings Ltd signed an agreement for Intuitive Machines LLC to acquire Goonhilly Earth Station Limited and Goonhilly Inc for consideration of £37m, subject to regulatory approvals.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

GOONHILLY HOLDINGS LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GOONHILLY HOLDINGS LTD
We have audited the financial statements of Goonhilly Holdings Ltd (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 May 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company 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).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, 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.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
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.

∙the information given in the Group 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 Group 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 Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

GOONHILLY HOLDINGS LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GOONHILLY HOLDINGS LTD (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 Group 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:
∙We have considered the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
∙We have considered the results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
∙Any matters identified having obtained and reviewed the company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
°Identifying, evaluation and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
°Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
°The internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations; and
∙We have considered the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in revenue recognition.
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulators frameworks that the Group and parent Company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Companies Act 2006, Financial Reporting Standard 102 and UK tax legislation. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. These included data protection regulations, health and safety regulations, employment legislation and the Wireless Telegraphy Act. Audit response to risks identified Our procedures to respond to risk identified included the following:
∙Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having direct effect on the financial statements;
∙Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess the recognition of revenue and grant income;
∙Enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
∙Reading minutes of meeting of those charged with governance;
∙In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of

journal entries, and other adjustments;
∙Assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of potential bias; and
∙Evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of the business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risk to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.
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 Auditors' 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 Auditors' 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.
