STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors are pleased to present their strategic report with the audited financial statements of Netdocuments Limited for the period ending 31 December 2025.
The Company provides web based document management services, delivering cloud-based content management, workflow and security solutions to legal, financial and other regulated organisations. The Company's revenue is substantially derived from subscription fees, supplemented by professional services and implementation fees.
The Company's turnover is dependent on its ability to continue to offer customers reliable, secure and competitively priced document management solutions that meet evolving customer requirements, including data security, compliance and regulatory demands specific to the legal and financial services sectors in which many of its customers operate. Sales are also subject to the general macroeconomic and competitive conditions affecting the broader SaaS and legal technology markets.
The Company maintains strong internal controls and procedures.
The Company's principal financial instruments comprise cash at bank, trade and other debtors, and trade and other creditors arising directly from its operations, together with balances due to and from other group undertakings. The Company finances its operations through a combination of trading cash flows and ongoing financial support from its parent, NetDocuments Software, Inc.
Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk through credit policies and regular monitoring of amounts outstanding.
The Company is exposed to currency risk as a result of its growing proportion of revenue generated in currencies other than sterling. This is monitored on an ongoing basis, and the impact of exchange rate movements is reflected within operating profit.
The results for the year show turnover of £15,978,675 (2024: £12,159,081), an increase of 31.4% on the prior year, driven primarily by growth in subscription fees to £15,794,614 (2024: £12,001,380).
Gross profit increased to £7,057,914 (2024: £7,007,158), and operating profit for the year rose significantly to £669,491 (2024: £214,824), reflecting the continued scaling of the Company's subscription base together with disciplined management of administrative overheads.
The Company's customer base continues to internationalise, with 61.48% of turnover in the year attributable to geographical markets outside the United Kingdom (2024: 23.86%), consistent with the wider group's strategy of expanding its international footprint for cloud document management services.
The Company continues to operate as part of the NetDocuments group, benefiting from the group's ongoing investment in product development and go-to-market capability, and the directors expect the Company's trading performance to continue to strengthen in the coming year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NETDOCUMENTS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of NetDocuments Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the analysis of net debt, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows 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 Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our 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.

NETDOCUMENTS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NETDOCUMENTS 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 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.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
The specific procedures for this engagement that we designed and performed to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud, were as follows:
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any material instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙Performing audit work to address the risk of irregularities due to management override of controls, 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 evidence of bias.
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 DECEMBER 2025
Netdocuments Limited is a limited liability company incorporated in England and Wales. The address of its registered office is disclosed on the company information page.
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 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
As shown by the financial statements the liabilities of the company exceed its assets and the company meets its day to day working capital requirements through financial support from its parent company. The loan from the parent to the company will not be called in by the parent until the company has sufficient funds to repay the loan without jeopardising its financial viability.
The company is further reliant on its parent group for ongoing operations and revenue generation – the company would be unable to continue operating if its parent group ceased to operate – therefore the appropriateness of preparing the company’s financial statements is predicated on an assumption that the parent group will continue to operate for the foreseeable future. Revenue for contracted services is recognised as the service is performed in accordance with the terms of the contractual arrangement.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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 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 Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
