| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| Reliance on key individuals and personnel |
| The success of the group depends on its ability to recruit and to retain high quality and experienced staff. The loss of the services of key personnel or inability to attract additional qualified personnel as the group grows could have an adverse effect on the group's business, however, given the current size of the company the organization is not dependent on any individual. |
| Risks associated with regulation |

The regulatory regime applicable to companies within the Group's economic model or impose a greater burden upon the Group and the industry in terms of additional compliance costs. |
| Foreign Exchange Risk |
| The company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposure, primarily Euro. The company mitigates its risk to currency exposure predominantly by maintaining foreign currency bank accounts. Any profits or losses resulting from currency fluctuations are recognised as and when they arise. |
| Interest rate risk |
| The company is exposed to interest rate risk as it has finance from a related party on which interest is charged at the 1-month Euribor rate plus 2% per annum. |
| Credit risk |
| Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, due to the large balances held. The company places its cash and cash equivalents primarily with domestic financial institutions. |

| Exotec Logistics UK Ltd has a bank balance of £220,307 (2024: £352,025). On 22 May 2026, Exotec SAS entered into a credit facility agreement with Exotec Logistics UK Ltd for a total amount of €10 million. This facility, which has a duration of three years, is committed, unsecured and without covenant, has been granted to support Exotec Logistics UK's liquidity and operational requirements.There are no foreseeable future events that are likely to result in extensive cash outflows that will detriment the Company's cash position. |

| Statement of Director's Responsibilities |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Director's Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law): including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). |

In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to: |
| • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| • make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The director is 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 enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of |
| EXOTEC LOGISTICS UK LTD |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of EXOTEC LOGISTICS UK LTD (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 company's affairs as at 31 December and of its 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 company 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The director is 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. |
| Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of |
| EXOTEC LOGISTICS UK LTD |
| 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 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. |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| 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 Director's Report. |
| 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 directors' report. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| • adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| • the 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; or |
| • the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the directors' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. |
| Responsibilities of director |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page six, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is responsible for assessing the 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of |
| EXOTEC LOGISTICS UK LTD |
| 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 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 financial statements. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| 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 obtained an understanding of the company and the sector in which it operates to identify laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct effect on the financial statements. We obtained our understanding in this regard through discussions with management, industry research, application of cumulative audit knowledge and experience of the sector. |
| • We determined the principal laws and regulations relevant to the company in this regard to be those arising from Companies Act 2006, Employment law, Tax legislation, Anti-Money Laundering legislation, Anti-bribery laws, Local health and safety regulations, Local statutory regulations for overseas payroll, GDPR Legislation and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. |
| • We designed our audit procedures to ensure the audit team considered whether there were any indications of non-compliance by the company with those laws and regulations. These procedures included, but were not limited to: |
| o Enquiries of management |
| o Review of minutes |
| o Review of legal account |
| o Review of the Company's related party transactions and disclosures |
| • We also identified the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud. We considered, in addition to the non-rebuttable presumption of a risk of fraud arising from management override of controls, that the potential for management bias was identified in relation to revenue and deferred revenue. We addressed this by challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management when auditing that significant accounting estimate. |
| • As in all of our audits, we addressed the risk of fraud arising from management override of controls by performing audit procedures which included, but were not limited to: the testing of journals; reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
| 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. |

| EXOTEC LOGISTICS UK LTD |
| 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. |
| 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 an Auditors' 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 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 |
| 1. | GENERAL INFORMATION |
| Exotec Logistics UK Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and |
| Wales. The company's registered number can be found on the Company Information page. The registered office address is 11 Old Jewry, London, EC2R 8DU. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| 2.1 Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| All amounts are rounded to the nearest £. |
| The following principal accounting policies have been applied: |
| This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Exotec SAS as at |
| 31 December 2025 and these financial statements may be obtained from 1 Avenue du Molinel 59290 Wasquehal. |
| 2.2 Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing the appropriateness of this basis, the directors considered the company's financial position, projected cash flows, and the availability of the rolling facility disclosed in note 19. Based on this assessment, the directors concluded that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue operating as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which the financial statements are approved. |
| 2.3 Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
| The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" |
| - The requirement of section 7 Statement of Cash Flows under FRS 102 qualifying entity (1.12(b)): The company is a qualifying entity whose results are included in the publicly available consolidated financial statements of Exotec SAS and these are available at the registered office of the company which is 8th Floor South, 11 Old Jewry, London, United Kingdom, EC2R 8DU. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| 2.4 Significant judgements and estimates |
| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| The key estimates used in preparing the financial statements relate mainly to: |
| In line with the revenue recognition accounting policy, management exercise judgement when recognising revenue according to the stage of completion of a contract: |
| - Regarding the sale, and the installation of the Solution at the customer warehouse by Exotec, the revenue is recognized overtime according to the completion method with costs as inputs; |
| - For the maintenance service linked with the deployment of the Solution by Exotec at the customer warehouse, the revenue should be recognized over time on a straight-line basis on the duration of the contract that is generally one year. |
| -Provision for customer compensation claims |
| A provision of £2,595,020 (2024: £nil) has been recognised in the balance sheet, in respect of customer compensation claims arising from system underperformance. During the year, £1,023,699 (2024: £nil) was charged against turnover and £1,571,321 (2024: £nil) was charged to administrative expenses . |
| The claim relates to additional costs allegedly incurred by the customer as a result of operational disruptions and delays in achieving contractual performance levels. |
| The provision represents management's best estimate of the obligation arising from these claims at the reporting date. The ultimate outcome remains subject to ongoing negotiation and resolution with the customer and, accordingly, the final settlement amount may differ from the provision recognised. |

| Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| 2.5 Turnover |
| Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised when it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. |
| Sale and Installation of Solutions |
| Revenue from the sale and installation of warehouse automation solutions is recognised over time using the percentage of completion method, based on the proportion of costs incurred to date relative to the total estimated costs of the contract. This method reflects the transfer of risks and rewards and the continuous delivery of services to the customer. |
| Revenue is recognised when: |
| - The outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably; |
| - It is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company; |
| - The stage of completion can be measured reliably; |
| - Costs incurred and costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably. |
| Maintenance Services |
| Revenue from maintenance services associated with deployed solutions is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, which is typically one year. This reflects the consistent delivery of services throughout the contract period. |
| Deferred and Accrued Income |
| At the reporting date: |
| - Deferred income represents amounts invoiced in advance of service delivery or goods transfer, including maintenance contracts and uncompleted installation work. |
| - Accrued income represents revenue earned from installation contracts where performance has occurred but invoicing has not yet taken place. |
| As at the reporting date, the company had a deferred income balance of £89,863 (2024: £507,495) and an accrued income balance of £1,157,209 (2024:£180,820) both primarily related to installation contracts accounted for using the percentage of completion method, and maintenance contracts recognised over time. |
| 2.6 Financial instruments |
| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ 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 |
| Financial assets consist of debtors (trade and other current assets) and other financial assets like cash at bank. These basic financial assets are initially measured at transaction price and subsequently at amortised cost. |
