GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
MA Corporate Holdings Limited is a holding company for a number of subsidiaries, including Motion Applied Limited (formerly known as McLaren Applied Limited) and Motion Applied Incorporated (formerly known as McLaren Applied Incorporated) (together “the group”).
Motion Applied Limited is a technology and engineering company with a long heritage in Motorsport, where it has helped lead the group on the digital and electronic evolution of the industry for over 30 years. In addition to its strong presence in Motorsport, it is applying Formula One technologies into growth markets where it is well positioned for success. The business is split into 3 business units; Motorsport, Connected Intelligence and Electrification, each of which is focused on its respective market. The group develops innovative technology, manufactures hardware products, and provides software services into these markets.
2025 has been a year of significant progress. The company changed name from McLaren Applied to Motion Applied, giving much greater control and flexibility over all our marketing activities. The change has been particularly well received by our Motorsport customers as it proves our total independence from McLaren, whom they typically regard as a racing rival.
Having previously secured major long-term contracts with key customers such as Formula One and NASCAR there has been intense focus on development of next-generation technology that will underpin the business for the next decade or more. In Motorsport, a new Electronic Control Unit (ECU) family has been developed using a common platform for future scalability, employing the latest processor hardware to provide unparalleled performance. This is supported by dedicated software, enabling racing teams to extract maximum performance and race organisers to ensure fair play. Key customer programmes moved into testing in 2025, culminating in a highly successful launch of live racing at the start of Formula One’s 2026 season. Beyond this new product development, the Motorsport business unit continues to provide high performance hardware, services and software to the Motorsport industry, equipping and supporting hundreds of races every year. This business is underpinned by long term hardware sales contracts as well as several annual software licence contracts for ATLAS, a leading data viewer tool for Motorsport. The group has held the FIA Formula One World Championship contract to supply standard electronics and software to all competitors since 2008. In July 2022, the group was successful in a competitive re tender of the contract and will continue to supply standard electronics and software to all Formula One competitors until at least the end of the 2030 season using the newly-developed ECU technology. In mid 2023, the company repeated this success by renewing the contract to provide NASCAR, the leading American racing series, with new standard hardware for their future race seasons that will start racing in mid-2026. These wins provide the Motorsport business unit with a strong platform for long term revenue security and growth. It also sells additional products, such has high precision sensors and services, to teams competing in these series along with electronics, software, components and services to engine makers and teams competing in other professional motor racing series. A new initiative to cement the group’s position in Motorsport is the planned move to a new Production Centre, expected to complete in mid-2026. The new facility has been designed entirely around customer needs and will be the global centre of top-tier motorsport electronics production. It will be located in Frimley (UK), close to the group’s existing production base at Woking and more importantly within easy driving distance of the vast majority of Formula One teams located in ‘Motorsport Valley’, the key customer geographic cluster.

Business review (continued)
The Connected Intelligence business unit provides solutions for high performance internet connectivity for trains and other modes of transport. Significant progress has been made in developing the latest Fleet Connect Version 3 software platform, bringing new levels of performance, resilience and insight for rail operators. The business has been very successful in winning new contracts, having previously won (together with partner Huber+Suhner) a multi-year contract for passenger WiFi connectivity with Deutsche Bahn for intercity trains across Germany, which resulted in the formation of an ARGE JV partnership group in Germany. 2025 added significant new contract wins, particularly with Amtrak in the US covering passenger WiFi services for multiple different Amtrak fleets totalling hundreds of trains. In addition to our well established Fleet Connect software offering, we grew sales of our Active Antenna hardware. This is a revolutionary antenna that redefines WiFi connectivity in Public Transport and enables 5G capable WiFi on trains, buses and other modes. The product provides significant benefits for travel operators over rival technologies including capex savings, faster connection speeds and reduced weight, making the transport more environmentally efficient. There continues to be a promising pipeline of further sales with major rail operators across the UK, US and Europe. In Electrification, our new 800 Volt Silicon Carbide Inverter has been adopted in production vehicles by customers including, amongst others, high-performance specialist car maker Czinger Automotive. Motion Applied has almost 20 years' experience of developing inverters and the latest unit represents a step forward in electrification technology. It has received positive feedback from customers regarding its performance level. In particular, the unit has very high performance for its size and weight and continues to find new customers in Aerospace for Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) and hybrid power aircraft. Given this successful diversification, we have now targeted other electrification markets including marine and mobile power generation solutions. The detailed result is reported in the profit and loss account on page 15. During 2025, the group saw a increase in revenue to £39.2m compared with £23.0m in 2024. Deferred revenue also increased from £16.2m in 2024 to £17.5m in 2025, primarily as a result of work undertaken on long term contracts in Motorsport. In line with the group’s strategic business plan the group recognised an operating profits for the first time of £12.2m in the year (2024: operating loss of £3.3m). This reflects the group’s ongoing investment in and development of its next generation of products, £11.1m in the year (2024: £9.6m), which will be sold in 2026 and beyond. Key performance indicators The Board use several Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to ensure that the group is performing as expected. A Management Information Pack is prepared and reviewed on a weekly basis, allowing the Senior Leadership Team to react to these KPIs. The KPIs that the Board feel are appropriate include: the value of the future sales pipeline including those at sales proposal and contract negotiation stage, the level of order fulfilment in production, the adherence to project timeframes for engineering development, and the level of aged debt and the sales debtor days outstanding. Financial KPIs, including turnover and gross profit margins, are monitored and reported in the monthly management accounts. Future developments The group intends to deliver breakthroughs in performance for customers and partners, through a variety of business models in a number of key markets. While looking to still grow its presence in Motorsport, where it is the global leader in Electronics, the group will continue to tap growth opportunities in new and adjacent markets through Connected Intelligence and Electrification. Its approach of combining rigorous technical solutions and the group culture resonates particularly well with clients seeking performance.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The key risk areas for the group are:
• continued access to high calibre people to support growth; • reputational damage in the event of any faulty products or services; • supply chain availability and timeliness; • cyber attack; and • competition from other suppliers including blue chip technology companies. These risks exist primarily in Motorsport and are mitigated as much as possible by the group’s continuing efforts to remain close to the developments in the main race series and growing sales in other series. The group is also focused on building strong relationships with its customers and suppliers, market analysis of what its competitors are investing in and a carefully targeted recruitment programme. More broadly, the group maintains and regularly reviews a risk register of the key business risks, mitigations and actions. Our cyber security has been enhanced with system improvements and behavioural training for staff, culminating in the group securing ISO 27001 certification for information security during the year.
The group has seen no material impact as a result of the various global conflicts.
Further volatility in the foreign exchange, energy prices or interest rates have had no material impact on trading.
This sets out how the directors comply with the requirements of Section 172 Companies Act 2006 and how these requirements have impacted the Board's decision making throughout 2025.
a) The likely consequence of any decision in the long term. The group Board minutes evidence detailed discussions at Board level. Management approves a 5 year plan annually, or where the need arises, against which it monitors both operational and financial performance. The Board agrees the strategy and reviews its funding requirements against these. In approving the strategy, the Directors also consider external factors including the development of the technology industry together with the global economic and market conditions. b) The interest of the group and group’s employees The group understands the importance and benefit of having a broad range of skills, experiences, perspectives and backgrounds in teams and continuously strives to attract, engage and retain a diverse range of talented people. Understanding the importance of the group’s employees to the long term success of the business, it regularly communicates to its employees through ‘all hands’ presentations, internal group wide emails and newsletters. The group’s intranet and structure give its employees the opportunity to interact with members of the Board and other management personnel. Employees are encouraged to ask questions about the team’s purpose, goals and direction. Employee surveys are undertaken to receive feedback about the employee experience, the results of which are carefully analysed and discussed by the Board. This year, we have increased direct engagement with staff by launching regular sessions in which randomly-selected employees can have short one-to-one meetings with members of the Senior Leadership Team. These sessions have proven popular and useful for all concerned. Employees are offered a range of development opportunities including formal programmes, mentoring, coaching and e-learning that enable the Board to identify and develop the skills and knowledge it needs to succeed now and in the future.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Statement by the directors on performance of their statutory duties in accordance with s.172 (1) Companies Act 2006 (continued)
c) The need to foster the group’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others The Board regularly reviews how the group maintains positive relationships with all its stakeholders. It understands the importance of the group’s supply chain in delivering its long term plans. The group’s principal risks and uncertainties set out risks that can impact its long term success and how these risks relate to its stakeholders. The Board seeks information on the interaction with stakeholders to ensure that they have enough information to reach appropriate conclusions about the risks faced by the company and how these are reflected within the long term plans. d) The impact of the group and company’s operations on the community and environment The group’s environmental policy outlines the group’s commitment to protect against the long term depletion of natural resources and lasting damage to species, habitats, biodiversity and climate. During the year, the group retained its ISO 14001 environmental accreditation. In 2025, the group renewed the highest 3 star FIA rating for Environmental Accreditation first secured in 2021. More broadly, the group is proud that its products are themselves enabling decarbonisation through, for example, the electrification of both motorsport and road going vehicles and weight reduction in trains. e) The desirability of the group and company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct The Board takes the reputation of the group seriously, which is not limited to only operational and financial performance. The Board follows and approves a suite of controls that include adherence to anticorruption, bribery and antislavery. The Board has committed to having a workforce that reflects society as a whole. It has considered the data, and narrative, relevant to the group's Gender Pay Reporting in preparation for external publication, including proposed improvement plans to enhance performance. f) The need to act fairly between members of the wider group The members of the group rely on the Board to protect and manage their investment in a responsible and sustainable way that generates value for them. The group holds regular management meetings for all the Board to share the knowledge and ensure consistency across operations and the management meet with the shareholders on a monthly basis through group Board meetings, held at the Woking office, which contains independent Non-Executives alongside the Executive Directors.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £6,831,000 (2024 - loss £3,167,000).
The directors do not propose a dividend for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: £nil).
The directors who served during the year were:
The future developments of the group and company are explained in the strategic report on pages 2 to 5.
The group continues to invest significantly in R&D activities, for which it receives an element of government funding to support its investment to develop sustainable future technologies.
MA Corporate Holdings Limited (“the company”) is a holding company for a number of subsidiaries.
The directors have prepared forecasts and projections, based on expected revenue and expenditure for Motion Applied Limited and its subsidiaries, which management have sensitised. These forecasts indicate that the company will be able to operate within the level of its current cash reserves and available facilities.
At 31 December 2025 the group had net current liabilities (excluding the deferred tax asset) of £15.3 million (2024: £14.8 million). The group is reliant on continued availability of its existing and enhanced facilities to continue trading as a going concern. Motion Applied Limited has two facilities, an Asset Backed Loan facility from IGF Business Credit Limited and an unsecured revolving loan facility from the group's investors.
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources, including if required, continued access to a £25m revolving loan facility from its investors, to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. £15m of investor loans are due for repayment in April 2030. £10m of investor loans are shown as payable within twelve months of the year end. The company has access to sufficient financial resources to support the ongoing operation of the business and the delivery of its future growth plans. The directors expect that the investors will continue to support the group for the foreseeable future. Greybull Capital LLP (“Greybull"), authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA") and in its capacity as advisers to MA Corporate Holdings Limited (“the company”), have confirmed that the investor loan facility has been operating as intended and they are satisfied that its investors have the means and the willingness to continue to support the company and group and to continue meeting their obligations under the terms of the investor loans.
In addition, Motion Applied Limited continues to have access to an Asset Backed Loan facility from IGF Business Credit Limited. This facility supports the group’s working capital requirements and provides further certainty for the continuing operations of the business. Motion Applied Limited has a total facility of £10.9m, comprising £10.5m due for renewal in May and December 2027 and £0.4m is due for repayment in May 2028. Subsequent to the year end on 27 April 2026, the company increased its existing asset-based lending facilities limit from £10.9m to £15.8m and extended the repayment period to December 2028.
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and company has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing their financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in accounting policy 2.4.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The group's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including foreign exchange risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. Foreign exchange is managed naturally with a number of suppliers and customers in both Euros and US Dollars. Providing a natural hedge for the business. Liquidity risk is managed using a weekly detailed cashflow forecasts to highlight and mitigate areas of exposure. Therefore, foreign exchange and liquidity risk are not considered a material risk to the group. The group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The group is at risk to the extent that a customer may be unable to pay the debt as it is due. The risk is mitigated by strong on-going customer relationships. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. Disabled employees The policy of the group is to give full and fair consideration to employment applications by disabled persons and to ensure that disabled employees receive appropriate training and career development opportunities. Employees who become disabled during their working life will be retained in employment wherever possible, with appropriate retraining being given if necessary. Employee consultation The group is committed to ensuring that its people are actively engaged in the ongoing management and future direction of the business. Regular formal, and informal, briefings are held with all sections of the workforce. The group takes reasonable steps to ensure that all employees, existing and prospective, are given fair and equal opportunity regardless of sex, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, or disability. Directors’ indemnities As permitted by the Articles of Association, the directors have the benefit of an indemnity which is a qualifying third party indemnity provision as defined by Section 234 of the Companies Act 2006. The indemnity was in force throughout the last financial year and is currently in force. The group also purchased and maintained throughout the financial year Directors' and Officers' liability insurance in respect of itself and its Directors. Statement of engagement with suppliers, customers and others in a business relationship with the company The Board supports good governance practices within the business to deliver the Business Plan and to protect the group’s brand, reputation and dealings with its stakeholders including, but not limited to its customers, employees, suppliers, Government bodies and the local communities in which it works. The Board of Motion Applied Limited approve an annually updated Business Plan which is committed to social responsibility, community engagement and environmental sustainability. The group has a sustainable business strategy with mature and well designed sites and processes, a suite of measures, external accreditations and several environmental awards. Measuring and managing its environmental impact is essential for the financial sustainability of its supply chain and business. We are also working to extend environmental standards through its supply chain. Key individuals in the group are assigned the responsibility for implementation and provides the necessary management support and resources to enable these individuals to carry out their role.

Statement of engagement with suppliers, customers and others in a business relationship with the company (continued)
The group encourages employee contributions, views, involvement and dialogue in all environmental matters. It provides suitable training and support to all employees in relation to this policy, giving them ownership and pride in achieving their objectives and goals and recognising their contribution as part of a fulfilling career in the group. The group promotes transparency in its dealings with external stakeholders and representatives of government supported by active engagement across industry bodies and its stakeholder community. The Board has overseen several initiatives to improve employee relations by encouraging more flexible working practices and updating the group’s intranet platform to share information, best practice, achievements and success. In addition, quarterly “All Hands” employee briefings delivered by senior Motion Applied management provide an awareness of the group’s performance and allows individuals to raise questions and concerns. Regular employee surveys are completed, and the Board are aware of the results which are used to assess and react to workforce issues including corporate culture, employee engagement and satisfaction. The group operates a defined contribution scheme in conjunction with independent advisors and the group has a formal whistleblowing policy to support any employee who wishes to report any concern that they have while remaining anonymous. Streamlined energy and carbon reporting The group recognises its responsibility to comply with relevant environmental and climate obligations and consider and address the impact of its business activities on the environment as well as the likely consequence of business decisions in the long term. The group also realises opportunities to identify and drive lower climate impact where possible.

Streamlined energy and carbon reporting (continued)
Methodology
This report was produced in accordance 'GHG Reporting Protocol - Corporate Standard' methodology and conversion factors taken from the UK Governments Greenhouse gas reporting: conversion factors 2025. The methodology used to calculate our GHG emissions is in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, using the operational control approach to define our reporting boundary. The intensity ratio for the period has decreased due to reduced travel and electricity use. Energy Efficiency Action During the reporting period, Motion Applied continued to make progress in reducing energy consumption and improving environmental performance across its operations. As the company leases all its buildings, many energy related efficiency measures are driven by the respective landlords. Notably, at the McLaren Technology Centre, ongoing landlord led initiatives include maintaining a zero waste to landfill programme through improved waste management processes and the completion of a site-wide conversion from fluorescent lighting to LED, delivering reductions in electricity usage. All sites also benefits from the renewable energy sources, which further reduces the associated carbon impact. Business travel is managed through TravelPerk, the company’s appointed corporate travel management platform. Motion Applied participates in TravelPerk’s ‘GreenPerk’ carbon offset programme, which offsets 100% of CO2 emissions associated with business travel booked through the system, including flights, rail journeys, accommodation, and related services. GreenPerk’s tooling calculates the emissions for each trip and supports verified offset projects, such as reforestation, renewable energy generation, and community based sustainability initiatives. Motion Applied also maintained its commitment to environmental excellence through its accredited environmental management systems. The GROUP continued to uphold its ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System certification and retained its FIA 3 Star Environmental Accreditation, reflecting an ongoing focus on continuous improvement in environmental performance and responsible operational practices.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MA CORPORATE HOLDINGS LIMITED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
We have audited the financial statements of MA Corporate Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the consolidated profit and loss account, the consolidated balance sheet, the company balance sheet, 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).
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MA CORPORATE HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
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 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 and the directors' report.

MA CORPORATE HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MA CORPORATE HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
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 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:
∙the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with senior management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector;
∙we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;
∙we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the 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 an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
∙making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
∙considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
∙performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
∙tested a sample of journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
∙assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in note 3 were indicative of potential bias; and
∙investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
∙agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
∙reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
∙enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
∙reviewing correspondence with HM Revenue and Customs and the company’s legal advisors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MA CORPORATE HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
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.
This report is made solely to the company's parent 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 member 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 parent company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
MA Corporate Holdings Limited (the "company") and its subsidiaries (the "group") are privately owned and incorporated in the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is given on page 1. The nature of the group's operations and its principal activities are set out in the Strategic report on pages 2 to 5.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £ thousand.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires group management to exercise judgement in applying the group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own profit and loss account in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its own subsidiaries ("the group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the balance sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the consolidated profit and loss account from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
MA Corporate Holdings Limited (“the company”) is a holding company for a number of subsidiaries.
The directors have prepared forecasts and projections, based on expected revenue and expenditure for Motion Applied Limited and its subsidiaries, which management have sensitised. These forecasts indicate that the company will be able to operate within the level of its current cash reserves and available facilities.
At 31 December 2025 the group had net current liabilities (excluding the deferred tax asset) of £15.3 million (2023: £14.8 million). The group is reliant on continued availability of its existing and enhanced facilities to continue trading as a going concern. Motion Applied Limited has two facilities, an Asset Backed Loan facility from IGF Business Credit Limited and an unsecured revolving loan facility from the group's investors.
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources, including if required, continued access to a £25m revolving loan facility from its investors, to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. £15m of investor loans are due for repayment in April 2030. £10m of investor loans are shown as payable within twelve months of the year end. The company has access to sufficient financial resources to support the ongoing operation of the business and the delivery of its future growth plans. The directors expect that the investors will continue to support the group for the foreseeable future. Greybull Capital LLP (“Greybull"), authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA") and in its capacity as advisers to MA Corporate Holdings Limited (“the company”), have confirmed that the investor loan facility has been operating as intended and they are satisfied that its investors have the means and the willingness to continue to support the company and group and to continue meeting their obligations under the terms of the investor loans.
In addition, Motion Applied Limited continues to have access to an Asset Backed Loan facility from IGF Business Credit Limited. This facility supports the group’s working capital requirements and provides further certainty for the continuing operations of the business. Motion Applied Limited has a total facility of £10.9m, comprising £10.5m due for renewal in May and December 2027 and £0.4m is due for repayment in May 2028. Subsequent to the year end on 27 April 2026, the company increased its existing asset-based lending facilities limit from £10.9m to £15.8m and extended the repayment period to December 2028.
The key risk areas for the group and its subsidiaries includes:
∙continued access to high calibre people to support growth;
∙reputational damage in the event of any faulty products or services;
∙supply chain availability and timeliness; and
∙competition from motorsport & automotive suppliers.
These risks are mitigated as much as possible by various factors including our continuing efforts to remain close to technological and commercial developments across the main race series, growing sales in other series, strong relationships with our customers and suppliers enabling continued development of our activities with customers and strategic partners in new and adjacent markets, market analysis of what our competitors are investing in and a carefully targeted recruitment programme.
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and company has adequate resources, including continued access to the investor loans, to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months from the date the financial statements were approved. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Expenditure on research activities is written off to profit or loss as incurred. Research activities are those undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding. Capitalised development costs are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, development assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Development assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful economic lives, which reflect the expected pattern in which the future economic benefits are consumed. Amortisation commences when the asset is available for use. Impairment Development assets are reviewed for impairment indicators at each reporting date. Where such indicators exist, the asset is tested for impairment and written down to its recoverable amount where necessary, with impairment losses recognised in profit or loss. Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account in the same period as the related expenditure.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
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 group has elected to apply Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 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 group after deducting all of its liabilities. The group’s policies for its major classes of financial assets and financial liabilities are set out below. Financial assets Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, 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 for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions are those in which payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans and loans from fellow group companies are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions are those in which payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Impairment of financial assets (continued)
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss. Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an 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.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new
ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. The judgements, estimates and assumptions which are of most significance in preparing the company's financial statements are detailed below: (i) Valuation and recoverability of deferred tax assets A deferred tax asset has been recognised within a subsidiary undertaking, Motion Applied Limited. This asset is recognised only to the extent that it is considered probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Recognition, therefore, involves judgement regarding the prudent forecasting of future taxable profits of the business. At 31 December 2025, Motion Applied Limited has unrelieved tax losses of approximately £58.0m available to set against future taxable profits and an unrelieved R&D tax credit of £3.6m. At 31 December 2025, Motion Applied Limited has recognised deferred tax assets of £11.8m due to the expectation of recovery. (ii) Revenue recognition A subsidiary undertaking uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its fixed-price contract to deliver the services. The company recognises revenue when contractual milestones are met and the estimation at 31 December 2025 is in respect of recognising revenue between milestones. The project managers estimate the percentage-of-completion at the year-end which directly impacts revenue recognised. Actual results may differ from the estimates made at the year-end. (iii) Impairment of intangible assets The group tests intangible assets for impairment if there are indications that amounts may be impaired. The impairment analysis for such assets is based principally upon discounted estimated future cash flows from the use and eventual disposal of the assets. Such an analysis includes the estimation of future results, cash flows, annual growth rates and discount rates. (iv) Research and development costs Costs directly attributable to the development of internally generated software are capitalised as intangible assets only when, there is a clearly defined project, the technical feasibility of the project is demonstrated, the expenditure is separately identifiable, the outcome of the project can be assessed with reasonable certainty, aggregate costs are not expected to exceed related future sales and adequate resources exist to enable the project to be completed. Such costs include purchases of materials and services and payroll-related costs of employees directly involved in the project. The directors continually assess whether all the criteria for capitalisation of development costs have been met. Research costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

3.Judgements in applying accounting policies (continued)
The directors review the useful economic lives of intangible fixed assets on an annual basis. In determining the appropriate amortisation period, the directors consider the expected pattern of consumption of the economic benefits embodied in each asset. For certain development projects, the directors are able to make a reliable estimate of the total number of units expected to be sold over the life of the asset. Where such an estimate is available, the asset is amortised over the period in which those units are expected to be sold, reflecting the expected pattern of economic benefit. For other projects, where a reliable estimate of total unit sales is not available, the useful economic life is determined based on management’s best estimate of the period over which the asset is expected to generate economic benefits, taking into account factors such as technological obsolescence, expected product life cycles and commercial strategy. For those other assets, we consider that the economic benefits will be utilised over ten years on a straight line basis. Actual useful economic lives may differ from these estimates. Estimates and judgements on the key assumptions are continually evaluated. Changes in key assumptions could affect the carrying amounts of assets, and impairment charges and reversals will affect income.
