GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Windsor Telecom makes technology easy and enjoyable. Our three missions are to help businesses collaborate better, be more productive and stay secure. We do this by guiding customers through our skills and capability in telecoms, IT and cyber security.
With a high quality customer base and industry-leading levels of customer satisfaction, Windsor is a profitable, cash generative business operating in an attractive market.
During the year ended 31 July 2025 we focused on our expanded capabilities, integrating the four business acquired between 2023 and 2024 allowing us to leverage the commercial opportunities arising from these acquisitions. This also expanded our geographic footprint across the UK.
These acquisitions have deepened our capabilities, especially in the managed IT and cyber security arena which complement our established telecoms portfolio. We are already seeing positive impacts on our organic performance through with cross selling these capabilities. The businesses acquired have collectively performed in line with expectations, adding scale, geographic reach and increased capability to the enlarged Windsor Telecom. Additionally, through the year we created a common set of systems and platforms covering the fully quote to cash cycle as well as in-life support. This also presents further opportunities for efficiency through increased use of AI and automation. From FY26 financial reporting will be rationalised across the business. Alongside the acquisitions the organic turnover and gross profit performed in line with expectations. This was achieved through growing our relationships with our existing customers, as well as adding new logo customers across each of our strategic portfolio areas of communications, connectivity and managed IT services. ARPU, a key measure of the success of our strategy to cross and upsell higher value services, also increased which is testament to the broad and appealing product offering we have built, together with our market-leading customer service. We continued to deliver on our plan, further enhancing Windsor Telecom’s position in the market and ability to take advantage of growing demand for B2B technology services. Investment continued in the team with key hires including key talent from the acquired businesses and continued investment in product and systems development, as a platform for further growth.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Windsor Telecom operates in a dynamic market and the Board monitors customer and industry trends, together with existing and potential new technology partners to ensure we remain relevant. We also track the work of the Telecoms regulator OFCOM and note the government’s plans associated with the upcoming UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill.
AI will be disruptive as it enters mainstream adoption. We believe on balance this represents a significant opportunity across three vectors. Enhanced capability within the products and services offered by our technology partners will drive added value and customer adoption. Specifically we have identified new revenue streams from supporting customer AI projects, specifically in Microsoft Copilot adoption and natural language voice agents. Our own adoption is already delivering clear benefits from automating routine tasks and allowing us to scale more cost efficiently. Wider macro economic trends and government policy may impact the business, including taxation and interest rates however the services the business provide are considered to be resilient and proven to remain critical to our customers regardless of economic cycles.
Change FY25 FY24
Turnover (group) 15.6% £15,448 £13,360 Gross profit (group) 7.1% £ 8,714 £8,135 With the strategic plan progressing well, we have continued to invest in strengthening the team and in new product development, with the acknowledgement these costs adversely impact overall EBITDA in the short term. The group incurred unusually high exceptional costs in the period, primarily relating to M&A, integration, funding and associated strategic activity. As a result, while underlying operating profit continued to be strong, retained profit for the year to July 2025 is negative. We expect the level of exceptional costs to normalise going forward. These costs are expected to unwind in subsequent years as the group benefits from the anticipated synergies from the acquisitions.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

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;

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.
The loss for the year, after taxation, amounted to £409,965 (2024 - profit £253,108).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WINDSOR TELECOM LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Windsor Telecom Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 July 2025, which comprise the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated analysis of net debt, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

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

WINDSOR TELECOM LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WINDSOR TELECOM LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Group financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We 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 reviewing legal invoices. 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 Auditors' report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Windsor Telecom Limited (03752620) is a private company limited by shares. It is incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Wey Court West, Union Road, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7PT.
The principal place of business is Riverside House, 4 Meadows Business Park, Station Approach Blackwater, Camberley, GU17 9AB.
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 judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 4).
The financial statements are presented in sterling to whole £s.
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 Statement of financial position, 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 statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the Group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 01 January 2014.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Intangible assets includes the software development, goodwill and other intangible fixed assets. They are all initially recongised at cost. All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life and are amortised as follows
Software development
The software development is amortised over four years from the date the project is completed and ready for use. Each project is reviewed on an annual basis for possible impairment.
Goodwill
Other intangible assets
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.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:

2.Accounting policies (continued)
At each reporting date the Group 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.
The Group adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Group. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the reducing balance and straight line methods.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
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 the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
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 Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Basic financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual

2.Accounting policies (continued)
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies 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.
Where businesses are transferred between entities under common control, the Company recognises the assets and liabilities acquired at their carrying values immediately prior to the transfer unless an alternative treatment is required to give a true and fair view. Any difference between the consideration given and the net assets acquired is recognised within reserves or as goodwill, as appropriate.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. There are no sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
