STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
Watershed Technology, Ltd. (the “Company”) is a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Watershed Technology, Inc, a climate technology software-as-a-service (SaaS) company incorporated in the United States of America. The Company serves as the UK operating entity for the Watershed Group, employing personnel primarily engaged in sales, marketing, engineering, and general and administrative functions in support of the Group’s global operations.
This Strategic Report has been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and applicable UK accounting standards.
The Company operates as a cost-plus entity within the Watershed Group. Its sole income stream is an intercompany recharge to its US parent, Watershed Technology, Inc, calculated monthly as total eligible UK operating expenses plus an agreed cost-plus markup, consistent with the Company’s transfer pricing arrangement. The Company has no third-party or external revenue and does not operate as a standalone commercial entity.
The Company’s primary activity during the year was supporting the global operations of the Watershed Group through its UK-based workforce across sales, marketing, engineering, and general and administrative functions. The London office serves as the Company’s principal place of operation, occupied under a long-term lease. During the year, the Company undertook a restructuring of certain roles within its UK workforce. This resulted in severance and related costs being recognized in the period. The restructuring was carried out in line with group-wide organizational decisions and had no impact on the Company’s ability to continue operating in support of the group. The Directors consider the performance of the Company during the year ended 31 January 2026 to be satisfactory. The Company operated in line with its cost-plus mandate, with costs and the associated intercompany recharge broadly in line with expectations. The Company remained adequately funded throughout the year through cash transfers from its US parent.
The Directors have identified the following principal risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company’s financial performance and position:
Foreign currency risk The Company’s functional currency is pounds sterling (GBP) and substantially all of the Company’s transactions and balances, including its intercompany receivable and payable, are denominated in GBP. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk is therefore limited. A small amount of foreign currency exposure may arise from occasional non-GBP-denominated supplier invoices; however, this exposure is not considered material to the financial statements. The Directors do not consider it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to manage this risk. Credit risk The Company’s exposure to credit risk is low. The Company does not transact with third-party customers; its sole counterparty is its US parent, Watershed Technology, Inc, which fully funds the Company’s operations through cash transfers and is the sole obligor on the intercompany receivable. The net intercompany position is not considered material to the group. The Directors are satisfied that the intercompany receivable is fully recoverable as at the balance sheet date and do not consider credit risk to represent a significant exposure for the Company.

WATERSHED TECHNOLOGY LTD
STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
Liquidity risk
The Company is funded through cash transfers from its US parent, Watershed Technology, Inc, to meet its operational expenditure obligations as they fall due. The Company does not have external borrowing facilities. Liquidity risk therefore arises primarily from the continued availability of funding from the US parent. The Directors are satisfied that the US parent has the ability and intention to continue to provide sufficient funding to support the Company’s operations for the foreseeable future. Price risk Price risk is not considered applicable to the Company. The Company does not trade with external customers and is not exposed to commodity prices, market prices, or competitive pricing risk. As a cost-plus entity, the Company’s revenue is directly and solely determined by its operating cost base plus a fixed markup rate agreed with its US parent. Accordingly, the Directors do not consider price risk to be a relevant exposure for the Company.
The Company does not operate with standalone financial performance targets or UK-specific financial KPIs. As a cost-plus entity, the Company’s revenue is directly determined by its operating cost base and an agreed markup, and traditional financial performance measures are not considered meaningful indicators of performance for the entity in isolation. Financial performance is monitored and assessed as part of the Watershed group’s global financial reporting process.
The primary areas of cost monitoring for the UK entity are headcount and associated payroll costs, and operating expenditure at department level, both measured against group-level budgets monthly.
In light of the above, and consistent with the Company’s status as a cost-plus entity where financial outcomes are driven by contractual arrangements, the Company does not maintain or monitor standalone non-financial key performance indicators at an individual entity level. Operational performance and efficiency measures are instead assessed at a consolidated group level, where management considers broader service delivery, process effectiveness, and strategic objectives across the organisation. Accordingly, entity-level non-financial KPIs are not utilised, as they are not considered meaningful in isolation from the wider group context.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WATERSHED TECHNOLOGY LTD
We have audited the financial statements of Watershed Technology Ltd (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 January 2026, which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Analysis of Net Debt, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including material accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WATERSHED TECHNOLOGY 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 Auditor's Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual, potential or suspected litigation, claims, non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations and fraud;
∙Enquiry of entity staff in compliance functions and external advisors to identify any instances of non compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Performing audit work over the risk of management override, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
∙Reviewing of financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
∙Performing audit work over the completeness of income within the financial system and the recognition of revenue on the provision of services occurring at the year end to provide assurance over cut-off
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
Watershed Technology Ltd is a private company limited by shares, incorporated and registered in England and Wales, registration number 13809904. Watershed Technology Ltd has a registered office address of 9th Floor 107 Cheapside, London, United Kingdom, EC2V 6DN which is also its principal place of business.
The principal activity of the Company is to provide research and development, sales support and marketing support services to its parent company and affiliated entities. The financial statements are presented in Sterling which is also the functional currency of the Company. The financial statements are rounded to the nearest whole number.
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 management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 4).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have considered relevant information, including forecast future cash flows and the impact of subsequent events in making their assessment.
The Company shows a net current assets position of £628,575 (2025: £167,385), and a net assets position of £2,071,694 (2025: £1,318,873). The Company has been profit making since incorporation, and for the past 2 financial periods and has reported a profit before tax of £1,195,796 (2025: £1,152,560). The Company has amounts owed to group of £37,604,542 (2025: £20,997,014), and amounts owed by group of £39,329,243 (2025: £23,238,207). The Company's business activities, together with factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position, are continuously reviewed by the Directors. These include the Company's cash flow and liquidity position. The Company is reliant on the Group through intercompany trading. The ultimate parent company, Watershed Technology Inc, has provided assurances that it will continue to provide the financial resources as necessary to enable the Company to continue in its normal course of business and meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements. Although the support is not made by deed and is not legally binding, the Directors consider that this confirms that future support will be made available for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the accounts. The Directors accordingly continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.

The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme). Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period. Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, profit or loss is charged with fair value of goods and services received.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
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.
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.
The Company recognises right of use assets under lease agreements in which it is the lessee. The underlying assets mainly include land and buildings. The right of use assets comprise of the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability and payments made at or before the commencement day as well as any initial direct costs. The corresponding lease liability is included in the statement of financial position as a lease liability. The interest rate applied to the lease determined by the Company is 3.93% and has been applied to the leased asset and liability, in line with a rate available with market rate borrowings.
The right of use asset will be depreciated over the lease term and if necessary impaired in accordance with applicable standards. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

WATERSHED TECHNOLOGY LTD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.

WATERSHED TECHNOLOGY LTD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Basic financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for periods ending 31 January 2026 and have been adopted early by the Company during the financial year ended 31 January 2025.
FRS102 Section 20 Leases (effective for periods starting after January 2026) The amendments to Section Leases, had a material effect on the financial statements in the prior period, whereby a right-of-use asset of £594,082 and a lease liability of £487,874 were recognised. The leased asset relates to a property occupied by the Company for business purposes. The incremental borrowing rate determined by the Company of 3.93% had been applied to the leased asset. FRS102 Section 23 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective for periods starting after January 2026) The amendments to Section 23 Revenue from Contracts with Customers had no material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
Estimating useful lives of tangible fixed assets The Company estimates the useful lives of tangible assets based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of those assets. The net book value of tangible fixed assets, excluding the right of use assets, stood at £43,627 (2025: £107,407) after a depreciation charge in the year of £63,780 (2025: £54,235). Estimating useful lives of right of use assets The Company exercises judgement in determining the useful lives of right-of-use assets, which are based on the lease term, including any extension or termination options where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise those options. In assessing the lease term, the Company considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive to extend or terminate the lease, including contractual terms, the importance of the underlying asset to operations and any significant leasehold improvements. The useful lives are reviewed periodically and updated where expectations differ due to changes in economic conditions, business strategy or market factors. The net book value of right-of-use assets stood at £981,445 (2025: £594,082) after a depreciation charge in the year of £578,432 (2025: £573,847). Incremental borrowing rate of right of use assets The Company exercises judgement in determining the incremental borrowing rate (IBR) used to measure lease liabilities and the corresponding right of use assets where the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. In accordance with FRS 102 Section 20, where the implicit rate cannot be readily determined, the Company is required to estimate an appropriate discount rate, which requires significant judgement. The IBR is estimated based on the rate the Company would have to pay to borrow, over a similar term and with similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value. In estimating the IBR, the Company considers factors such as the lease term, the nature of the underlying asset and the Company’s credit risk. The rate is reviewed periodically and updated where expectations differ due to changes in market conditions or the Company’s financing profile. The weighted average IBR applied during the year was 3.93% (2025: 4.63%). Share-based payments The Company has equity-settled share options granted to its employees by its parent company and recognises the fair value of the services received in the profit or loss and a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value of employee services received is measured using a recognised valuation model. The fair value is based on a number of assumptions and as such is a judgemental calculation.

Profit and loss account
During the year ended 31 January 2026, the Directors identified a material prior period error in the classification of a restricted cash balance, amounting to £450,000. At 31 January 2025, this balance was included within cash at bank and in hand; however, as the funds are held in an account with access restrictions impacting the liquidity of the balance, this should have been classified within restricted cash. The comparative figures have therefore been restated to reclassify £450,000 from cash at bank and in hand to restricted cash, however the amount continues to be presented within cash and cash equivalents (note 15). This adjustment affects presentation only and has no impact on profit, net assets, or shareholders' funds.
The Company operates a defined contributions pension scheme. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company to the fund and amounted to £286,236 (2025: £241,995) The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. Contributions totalling £65,588 (2025: £72,412) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date and are included in creditors.
The immediate and ultimate parent company is Watershed Technology, Inc. a company registered in the
US with its headquarters situated at 360 9th St, San Francisco, CA 94103, United States of America. The results of Watershed Technology Ltd are included in the consolidated financial statements prepared by the parent. The Director considers there to be no ultimate controlling party.
