| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| Skyborne Aviation Training Limited uses its unique and innovative approach to train airline pilots in its world class facilities in Gloucestershire and Bournemouth Airports, UK and Vero Beach Airport, Florida, USA. |
| The Bournemouth site in the UK was opened in Q3 2025 and is fully operational with students in both the Ground School and ME/IR phases of training utilising this base. |
| In the US, there has been some over-indexing with regards to manpower in the post Covid consumer demand for travel, which has settled to a more normal position. In addition, there continues to be challenges with regards to supply of B737 MAX and A320 NEO/CEO aircraft in the US, which is curtailing airline growth in the short-term. That said, airline yields are at record levels in certain businesses as consumer demand for air travel remains very strong. |
| We continue to see month-on-month growth in student enrolments and revenues. Skyborne has secured long-term contracts with British Airways, Jet 2, Ryanair, FlyDubai, EasyJet and IndiGo. Over the past year, there has been an increase in the British Airways funded pilot numbers and Skyborne is the preferred supplier to British Airways for this programme. The scale, robustness, and diverse nature of these contracts alone, offer a high degree of safeguarding of our business. |
| In the Directors' opinion the group's key performance indicators are as follows: |
| 31.12.25 | 31.12.24 |
| Turnover | 41,600,125 | 27,057,192 |
| Net (loss) / profit before taxation | 4,918,771 | (752,881 | ) |
| The Group's long term strategy continues to be to grow the business through both organic growth of its existing sites and the acquisition and development of further sites as opportunities present themselves. In 2026, Skyborne will commence ATPCTP training for those pilots leaving the light aircraft environment to transition to airline operations. The Group is also planning to launch a Part 147 Aircraft Maintenance Training academy at the Vero Beach facility. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The board regularly reviews the risk facing the business and takes mitigation measures where appropriate. |
| The main external risks, over which the board and management have no control, includes the recovery of the aviation market post COVID-19 pandemic, a decline in the economy following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, resulting in a reduction in customer spending and significant further increases in interest rates (affecting potential customers). |
| The most important internal risks, over which the board and management have some control, includes the safety of training (for which there is a robust safety management system in place), the loss of key staff and cyber security risks. In these and other risks, the board have established mitigating controls which are regularly reviewed. |
| SKYBORNE AVIATION GROUP LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 13082439) |
| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT |
| The Board of Directors considers that the decisions they have made during the financial year and the way they have acted have promoted the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard for the stakeholders and matters set out in s172(1)(a-f) of the act). |
| We are committed to delivering a high standard of airline pilot training and we will continue to operate our business within tight budgetary controls and in line with our targets. |
| Our employees are fundamental to our future. We aim to be a responsible employer in our approach to the |
| pay and benefits our employees receive. The health, safety and well-being of our employees and students is one of our primary considerations in the way we do business. |
| Our duty is to provide high quality pilot training in our first class facilities, here in the UK and Florida, USA. We regularly engage with students, airline companies and suppliers to give us an understanding of their views and priorities and ensuring we are delivering a first class service. We aim to act responsibly and fairly in how we engage with our suppliers, students and employees all of whom are integral to the future of our business. |
| As the Board of Directors, our intention is to behave responsibly towards our shareholders and ensure that |
| management operate the business in a responsible manner, operating within the high standards of business |
| conduct and good governance expected for a business. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| In order to facilitate the growth of student enrolments and the associated training, there will be a requirement in the next 2 years to purchase 32 more aircrafts (15 Piper 100i and 4 DA 42's), as well as 2 more simulators. |
| It is likely that the airlines are going to require more pilots in the coming years. There is the beginning of airline programmes for student pilots, some of which may well be fully sponsored. Skyborne continues to work with the airlines to develop innovative training solutions and to ensure that we retain the trust of the airlines and our customers. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| SKYBORNE AVIATION GROUP LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 13082439) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |

| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2025. |

| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2025 to the date of this report. |
| ENGAGEMENT WITH EMPLOYEES |
| The Group policy regarding the employment of disabled persons ensures that the same opportunities for employment and career progression are extended to able bodied and disabled employees equally. If limitations on the ability of a disabled employee to carry out their duties occur because of their disability, the group in collaboration with the employee, will make all necessary practical changes to the working environment to ensure that the disabled employee can carry out their duties effectively. |
| The Group provides all necessary training and support to able bodied and disabled persons to ensure that they are able to carry out their duties efficiently. |
| In the unforeseen event of an able bodied employee becoming disabled the Group would undertake an appropriate evaluation of the needs of the employee to enable, where practicable, the disability to be overcome in the work place. |
| EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT |
| During the year, the policy of providing employees with information about the group has been continued through internal media methods in which employees have also been encouraged to present their suggestions and views on the group's performance. Regular meetings are held between local management and employees to allow a free flow of information and ideas. |
| STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING |
| This report was undertaken in accordance with the Streamlined Energy and Carbon ("SECR") Reporting requirements outlined in the Companies Act (2006) for large quoted and unlisted companies which requires Skyborne Aviation Group Ltd, Skyborne, to report on its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. |
| This report contains details on annual GHG emissions and total energy consumption for Skyborne covering our branches, offices, transport assets, and energy efficiency and environmental management actions implemented during the reporting period. This report contains our SECR disclosure for the 2025 reporting year. |

| Emissions Intensity |
| Metric | Value |
| Total flight hours | 82,144 |
| Emissions intensity (tCO2e per hour) | 0.070 |
| Methodology |
| Energy use has been calculated by converting fuel and electricity consumption into kilowatt hours using standard conversion factors. Greenhouse gas emissions have been calculated using the UK Government's published greenhouse gas conversion factors. Scope 1 emissions include aviation fuel and vehicle fuel. Scope 2 emissions relate to purchased electricity. The Group has applied the operational control approach to define organisational boundaries. |
| Scope of Reporting |
| The reported figures include all entities within the consolidated Group, including overseas subsidiaries. The majority of the Group's emissions arise from its US-based flight training operations, which form a significant part of its overall activity. |
| Energy Efficiency Actions |
| The Group continually reviews opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions, including optimisation of flight training schedules and aircraft utilisation, monitoring and management of fuel consumption across the fleet, and evaluation of lower-emission technologies and operational practices. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | state whether applicable 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 company will continue in business. |
| The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and 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. |
| SKYBORNE AVIATION GROUP LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 13082439) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| SKYBORNE AVIATION GROUP LTD |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Skyborne Aviation Group Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, 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 our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of the group's profit for the year then ended; |
| - | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
| - | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
| Basis for opinion |
| We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. 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 UK, including the FRC'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. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| 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 and 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. |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| 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. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - | the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| SKYBORNE AVIATION GROUP LTD |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| 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 Report of the Directors. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| - | adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
| In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors 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. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. |
| We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and enquiries of legal counsel. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above 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. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. |
| 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 Report of the Auditors. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| SKYBORNE AVIATION GROUP LTD |
| Use of our report |
| This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors 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. |

| Turnover |
| Revenue arises from the provision of aviation training. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: |
| - | the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| - | it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the contract; |
| - | the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and |
| - | the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably. |
| For each contract with a client, the Group: |
| - | Identifies the contract with a client. |
| - | Identifies the performance obligations in the contract. |
| - | Determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money. |
| - | Allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered. |
| - | Recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the client of the goods or services promised. |
| For the purposes of internal reporting and monitoring, the Group's revenue is segregated by class of business (service line) and as a result, the directors consider that disaggregating revenue by classes of business is most relevant to depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows as impacted by business activities and the economic environment in which the Group operates. |
| The Group's revenue is derived from its operations in the United Kingdom and the USA. |
| Revenue is recognised over time when, under the terms of engagement between Skyborne Aviation Training Ltd or Skyborne Airline Academy Inc. and the client, the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Fees for this revenue are fixed, based on the contract price and spread evenly over the period of the contract. |
| Payment terms are set out in the contract and required at set intervals before and during the contract period. In all contracts payment is received in advance of the stage of training been provided. Payments received in advance of training are deferred and revenue released once the contract has started. |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill on acquisition is subject to an impairment review by the directors and any adjustment is reflected in the profit and loss account. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |

| Tangible fixed assets |
| ROU - Properties | - |
| Leasehold improvements | - |
| Aircrafts and engines | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Other fixed assets | - |
| Office equipment | - |
| Following a revaluation of the airframes in 2022, airframes are depreciated over 20 years less any residual value. Engines are depreciated in accordance with their flight hours and simulators are depreciated over 10 - 12 years on cost. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Foreign currencies |
| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |

| Leases |
| In the comparative period, rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Right-of-use assets |
| A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable: |
| - | Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received. |
| - | Any initial direct costs incurred. |
| - | An estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset as required by the terms and conditions of the lease. |
| Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter (typically between 1 and 5 years). |
| Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. |
| Lease modifications constitute a remeasurement of the lease liability. A lease modification is recognised as a separate lease if the modification increases the scope of the lease or the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price. |
| For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, where the scope of the lease increases, the lease liability is remeasured using the discount rate applicable at the modification date, with the right of use asset adjusted by the same amount. Where the scope of the lease decreases, the right or use asset and lease liability are reduced by the same proportion. The lease liability is further adjusted to ensure its carrying amount reflects the amount of the renegotiated payments with (if required) recognition in the profit or loss on any gain or loss arising. |
| The Group's leasing activities relate primarily to leases of hanger and office space and student accommodation. In addition, the Group also leases aircraft which are classed as 'short-term' as they have a lease term of less than or equal to 12 months. For leases assessed as 'low-value' or 'short-term' the Group has elected to apply the exemption under paragraph 20.5 of FRS102 to not recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in respect of these leases and instead, recognise the rental payments in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The directors consider the threshold for low value assets to be £5,000. |
| Lease liabilities |
| A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of: |
| - | Fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable. |
| - | Amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. |
| - | Any anticipated termination penalties if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. |
| Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: |
| - | Future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used. |
| - | Residual guarantee. |
| - | Lease term. |
| - | Certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. |
| When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. The total cash outflows for lease liabilities are disclosed in note 15. The maturity analysis of contractual lease obligations is shown in notes 15 and 16. |
| The Group does not have any leasing activities acting as a lessor. |

| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year |
| Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities, but for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows bank overdrafts are considered part of cash equivalents as they are payable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management. |
| Going concern |
| The ultimate shareholders of Skyborne Aviation Group Ltd, the parent company, have confirmed that they will provide support to the group and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. |
| The directors, having considered the above and made due enquiries, continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements which assumes that the group will continue in operation for the foreseeable future. |
