STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
Solarport Systems Limited is the leading UK solar infrastructure partner, designer and manufacturer of solar mounting systems. The company delivers critical components for their projects, from high profile utility-scale solar generation to commercial and domestic installations.
The directors are pleased to present the review of the business for the year ended 31 January 2026 and of the position of the company at the end of the year. The intention is to portray balanced and comprehensive summary of the development and performance of the company consistent with the size of and relatively uncomplicated nature of the business against the background of any risks and uncertainties that may exist. In doing so, the directors have taken into account only such facts and circumstances of which they are aware at the date of this report.
There has been no change in the principal activity of the company. The company operates out of three sites. The Head Quarters based in Bridport, and an R&D and training facility in Yeovil. A new manufacturing facility is also being set up in Halesowen. In the year to 31 January 2026 total revenues fell by 10% versus the previous year. This was driven by delays in the UK market caused by Gate 2 grid reform. This reform carried over into Financial Year 31 January 2027, however the Directors are confident that this will be an expanding market in the UK as the country strives to increase electricity generation from renewable sources, in line with the policy of striving for Net Zero by 2035, and also by the company increasing its domestic market share.
The main risks and uncertainties for the business relate to:
• The political risk caused by the government changing direction on driving the country towards renewable energy and achieving Net Zero within a given timeframe; • The volatility of material prices which form a significant part of total costs of the mounting systems; and • Tariff, quota and CBAM regulations that impact both the supply and cost of steel. The company undertakes regular reviews of the principle risks facing the business and, whenever possible, processes are put in place to monitor and minimise such risks. The Directors give the highest priority to the safety and welfare of our colleagues and the public. We continue to strive for a reduction in accidents and the severity of those accidents through promotion of safe working practices and awareness. The company continues to hold relevant quality, environmental and health and safety standards of ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018. Efforts continue across company to reduce its environmental impact. During the year, the company continued innovating its designs to reduce the level of embedded carbon in the company’s products. The company is also working with those key partners for a further decarbonisation on a global scale.

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments 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 directors are 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 to 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 hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £1,564,677 (2025 - £2,467,125).

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
The directors are optimistic that, following the conclusion of the Gate 2 grid reform, the market for solar mounting will continue to grow rapidly and that the company will share in that growth and the directors are optimistic about the company’s future prospects.
Following the year end the company took a majority share in SPS PowerBuild Limited. This new subsidiary operates in an adjacent market, providing installation of solar mounting systems. The company is also outfitting its new Halesowen production facility to undertake roll-forming of product. From October 2026 this will enable an improvement in margin, and a reduction in emissions.
The auditors, Xeinadin Audit Limited, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SOLARPORT SYSTEMS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Solarport Systems Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 January 2026, which comprise the Statement of income and retained earnings, the Analysis of net debt, the Statement of financial position, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SOLARPORT SYSTEMS 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 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 AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SOLARPORT SYSTEMS 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 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 assessed the risk of material misstatement due to non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud by obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements such as the UK reporting framework, UK company law and UK tax legislation. Other laws and regulations that are fundamental to the operating aspects of the business include employment law, data protection, contract law and health and safety legislation; Specifically in respect of fraud we discussed with management and those charged with governance areas in which the entity was susceptible to fraud and whether there were any instances of known, suspected or alleged fraud. We also assessed the ability of internal controls to mitigate the risk of fraud. We assessed the risk of non-compliance with laws and regulations by: - Making enquiries of management and those charged with governance concerning actual and potential litigation or claims; - Reading meeting minutes for evidence of discussions which may indicate potential litigation and claims; - Reviewing the company's records for evidence of legal costs which may indicate non-compliance with laws and regulations; and - Considering the effectiveness of internal controls to mitigate such risks. We assessed the risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities and fraud as follows: - Enquiring of management concerning actual and potential instances of fraud, as well assessing areas in the financial statements that are at risk of material misstatement due to fraud; - Assessing the risk of management override of controls via a review of accounting entries, estimates and the testing of journal entries; - Seeking explanations and evidence for any significant transactions outside the normal course of business; - Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; - Testing fraud risk of revenue recognition by testing revenue to source documentation; and - Maintaining professional scepticism and challenging explanations provided by management.

SOLARPORT SYSTEMS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SOLARPORT SYSTEMS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
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.
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.

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.
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:
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.
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 estimates and underlying assumptions are recognised 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. Critical judgments The following judgments (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. Valuation of stock Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Costs included apportioned labour and overhead in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. Key sources of estimation uncertainty Provision for stock Stock is reviewed on an ongoing basis and a provision is made where the directors are of an opinion that specific items are slow moving and require write down. As at the year end the directors have no material concerns over the recoverability of the company’s stock balance in note 15. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing lives, all relevant known factors are taken into account but there is inherent uncertainty in making this assessment. Provision for warranty The company offers a 25-year warranty as standard. The warranty expense experience of the company is monitored on a regular basis assessing any claims made against the historical delivery and value of the contract to which any warranty claim relates. At the end of the year the directors determine whether a warranty provision would be required from any claims experience in that financial year. Based on the historical warranty experience and the Directors' best estimate of future outcomes a provision is made in relation to each year's sales where the timing and amount of any liability is uncertain. In addition, where specific, quantifiable warranty issues have been identified, these are provided in full and included in current liabilities. At the date of approving the financial statements the Directors are satisfied that the provision for warranty is adequate based on the warranty experience in the financial year and previous years.
