GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
The directors present their strategic report in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2024.
The financial results, as detailed on page 9, reflect another commendable year of trading performance despite the ongoing challenges from Brexit and wider interruptions across global markets. Although turnover remained flat, gross margins improved compared to the previous year.
The directors are pleased that, despite a constrained market earlier in the financial year, the team successfully navigated the challenges and margins remained robust enough to offset potential setbacks. The company’s financial position continues to strengthen annually, with ongoing reinvestment in personnel, operational processes, and advanced technology.
The primary risks faced by the company include uncertainties in global markets, as well as continued adjustments following Brexit. Volatility in foreign exchange rates and higher inflation have posed challenges, potentially affecting profitability and procurement costs.
The company remains committed to enhancing operational efficiencies to counterbalance rising overheads, protecting operating margins.
The directors consider key performance indicators to be those that reflect the company’s financial performance and overall strength. These include turnover, gross profit, and operating profit..

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
The directors of the group, as those of all UK companies, must act in accordance with a set of general duties. These duties are detailed in section 172 of the UK Companies Act 2006 which is summarised below:
A director of a company must act in the way he/she considers, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to: 1. The likely consequences of any decision in the long term 2. The interests of the company's employees 3. The need to foster the company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others 4. The impact of the company's operations on the community and the environment 5. The desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct, and 6. The need to act fairly as between members of the company. Each director of the group is aware of their obligations on the above and can seek professional advice from an independent advisor as necessary. As a group with a highly skilled workforce the group’s directors invariably delegate day to day decision making to employees of the group. We make strategic decisions based on both long and short term objectives in particular our supply chain and relationships therein. At all times the board considers how the decisions they make support the company’s visions and values and how they promote the success of A1 Pharmaceuticals plc. The Board uses its regular meetings as a mechanism to address and meet its obligations under Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 at which point the stakeholders of the group are discussed. In the directors' opinion the employees, suppliers and the customer base represent the key stakeholders and the means of engagement have been detailed below: Customers – Our employees and managers are constantly interacting with our customers to fulfil our customers' requirements. We focus on customer service and this enables us to act as an extension of our customers' buying department. All of our staff uphold our key values as noted on our website and adhere to our trading protocols. Employees – We rely on our employees to ensure the best prices and products are sourced to be able to deliver a high quality service to our customers. We are renowned for our customers service which requires us to be able to adapt to our client’s requirements and potentially tight turnarounds. This is only possibly through the hard work our employees put into job management. In this regards we provide a support network that they can rely upon, a remuneration package that rewards high performing individuals and ongoing training. Suppliers – We appreciate the key role our suppliers play in the delivery of our goods on time, as such we aim to pay all supplier son time and to ensure our purchasing department are having an open and honest dialogue with our suppliers on our ongoing requirements. The group also operates a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. The group is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all of our business relations. We work closely with our business partners, suppliers and supply chains to ensure there is no place for modern slavery and human trafficking.

∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

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 the group 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
During the year, the group emitted 97 tonnes (2023: 116 tonnes) of CO2 from activities involving the purpose of transport, 26 tonnes (2023: 26 tonnes) of CO2 from the consumption of electricity for its own use and 12 tonnes (2023: 10 tonnes) of CO2 from the consumption of gas for its own use. Total aggregate energy consumption expressed in kWH was 573,312 (2023: 638,333).
Greenhouse gas emissions were calculated using the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2024. Energy usage data was gathered from a variety of sources including fuel cards and fuel receipts for transport and utility bills for gas and electricity.
The company consider the most relevant factor in calculating the intensity ratio to be turnover which derives an intensity ratio of 2.41 tonnes (2023: 2.49 tonnes) of CO2 per total £1m of turnover.
There have been no significant events affecting the group since the year end.
The auditors, Barnes Roffe LLP, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

A1 PHARMACEUTICALS HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF A1 PHARMACEUTICALS HOLDINGS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of A1 Pharmaceuticals Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 April 2024, which comprise the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, 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 A1 PHARMACEUTICALS HOLDINGS 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.

A1 PHARMACEUTICALS HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF A1 PHARMACEUTICALS HOLDINGS 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:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with law and regulations, was as follows: • The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; • We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussion with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the software and technology sector in which the company operates; • The specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, are as follows; o Companies Act 2006 o FRS102 o Health and Safety legislation o Employment legislation o Tax legislation o Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority (MHRA) licence o Various other licences to deal with the provision of pharmaceutical products and potential hazardous waste disposal. • We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management, reviewing board minutes and inspecting relevant legal and other correspondence; and • Laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and during the audit as any further laws and regulation were identified. The audit team remained alert to instances of non compliance throughout the audit.

A1 PHARMACEUTICALS HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF A1 PHARMACEUTICALS HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by: • Making enquires of management as to where they consider there was susceptibility to fraud and their knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud; • Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; • Reviewing the financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation; • Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies;- • Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions; • Assessing whether judgement and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates, including certain year end accruals, were indicative of management bias; and • Investigating the rationale behind significant transactions, or transactions that are unusual or outside the company’s usual course of business. The areas that we identified as being susceptible to misstatement through fraud were: • Management bias in the estimates and judgements made; • Management override of controls; and • Posting of unusual journals or transactions. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
The group is incorporated in England and Wales, and has its registered office at Unit 20 & 21 Easter Industrial Park, Ferry Lane South, Rainham, Essex, RM13 9BP.
The principal activity of the group continued to be that of the wholesale marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products and medical devices.
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 3).
The company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of comprehensive income in these financial statements.
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 Balance sheet, 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 30 April 2020.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on the following bases.
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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
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 receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs 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 receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. 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 payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables 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. No significant judgments have been made by management in the preparation of the financial statements. b) Key accounting estimates and assumptions The group has made key assuptions regarding the useful economic life of tangible fixed assets and this is further described in note 2.11 of the accounting policies. The group holds a significant amount of product stock which is subject to changing consumer demands and industry trends. As a result it is necessary to consider the recoverability of the cost of stock and the associated provisioning required. When calculating the stock provision, management considers the nature and condition of the stock, as well as applying assumptions around the saleability of stock at the year end the company has provided for £42,196 (2023: £99,209) of stock.
