GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024
The director presents the strategic report for the period ended 29 February 2024.
We aim to present a balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of our business during the year and its position at the period end. Our review is consistent with the size and non-complex nature of our business and is written in the context of the risks and uncertainties we face.
The group has had another strong year with business levels similar to prior year, with turnover at £62.7m (2023: £64.3m). The group achieved a gross profit of over £8m for the year due to its continued supply of locums through multiple healthcare frameworks. During the year the NHS, along with many private hospitals, experienced extremely busy periods as efforts continued to try to reduce the backlog of delayed and cancelled procedures which occurred during the pandemic, and the following few years. This, coupled with various healthcare professions industrial action, further increased the waiting lists for medical procedures and consultations. As patient operations have tried to increase, we have supported these with various medical staff and practitioners. The company has seen a rise in demand in certain areas that we specialise in, which has supported our business activity. We are a primary framework supplier of temporary staff to some major NHS trusts and hospitals, as well as private sector organisations, in these areas of speciality aiding our business. The group became a registered organisation with The Care Inspectorate – a regulated care services supplier in Scotland. This provides the group with the opportunity to expand into new areas and markets and diversify our operations. Our Clinical Governance Department ensured our high standards of compliance by the successful attainment of our ISO 9001 accreditation. During the year the company achieved Gross profits of £8.0m (2023: £8.4m), Gross profit margin of 12.76% (2023: 13.07%) and Operating profits of £1.79m (2023: £2.29m).
The market is heavily regulated and dependant on effective compliance and auditing is a key condition of the frameworks which we operate on. The Group has a Compliance team and is well placed to manage this risk with effective management controls in place. We have established a Governance and Audit team to ensure all policies and procedures are adhered to, and that any legislative changes are reflected in our terms of business and contracts.
Economic risk The consistent business levels for year-ended 29th February 2024 shows that the company is well placed within the market and has built up a strong reputation and brand within the healthcare recruitment industry. The GP margin rate of 12.76% (2023:13.07%), enabled the group to achieve Gross Profits of £8m for the year. This level of business has helped to mitigate cashflow pressures and associated risks. The company seeks to manage and minimise financial risk by ensuring that sufficient funding is available at all times to meet foreseeable needs.

URBAN RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED
GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024
The group considers the following to be its key performance indicators:
Net Turnover: The Company achieved net Turnover of £62.7m, a 2.5% decrease from prior period (2023: £64.3m). Gross Profit The Company achieved gross profit of £8.0m, a 4.8% decrease from prior period (2023: £8.4m). Direct customer and account related KPI’s are completed throughout the business and are monitored monthly by the management accounts team.
As discussed in the going concern accounting policy, the Directors consider that the Group remains a going concern. Financial forecasts have been prepared by management and demonstrate that the group is expected to have sufficient cash to enable it to meet its liabilities as they become due.
Post period end, the monthly management accounts have continued to show positive results with the gross margin remaining strong throughout this period. As turnover continues to increase, cash-flow restrictions ease. Cash-flow projections for the 12 months post period-end do not indicate any further support will be needed from the group’s banking partners, or any cash injections from the directors will be required.
The directors do not believe that the business will change significantly in the foreseeable future.
This report was approved by the board on 17 October 2024 and signed on its behalf.

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.

URBAN RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF URBAN RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Urban Recruitment Group Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 29 February 2024, which comprise the Group Statement of comprehensive income, the Group and Company Balance sheets, the Group Statement of cash flows, the Group and 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 Auditor's 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 AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF URBAN RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
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.

URBAN RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF URBAN RECRUITMENT GROUP 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 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:
∙ensuring that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussions with directors, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant sector, including Companies Act 2006;
∙we assessed the extent of the compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and the audit team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
∙making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, 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; and
∙assessing whether judgement and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates were indicative of management bias.

URBAN RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF URBAN RECRUITMENT GROUP 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 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 Auditor's 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 Auditor's 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 29 FEBRUARY 2024
Urban Recruitment Group Limited ("the Company") is a private company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office address is 111-115 North Street, Romford, Essex, RM1 1ES.
The Group consists of Urban Recruitment Group Limited and all of its subsidiaries. The Company's and the Group's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the Strategic Report and Director's Report.
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 financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Company. Monetary amount in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
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.
All financial statements are made up to 29 February 2024. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the group. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (foreign currency) are initially recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All translation differences are taken to profit or loss.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
In arriving at this conclusion, the Directors have taken into consideration the results for the year 29 February 2024 together with the current results and cashflow forecasts for 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements. Based on the forecasts prepared the directors are satisfied that the Group is in a position to meet its liabilities as they fall due over the next 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. Income relating to temporary staff is recognised in the period to which it relates when billed for each month. Income relating to placement of permanent candidates is recognised at the point candidates commence their placements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. The expense in relation to options over the parent company’s shares granted to employees of a subsidiary is recognised by the company as a capital contribution, and presented as an increase in the company’s investment in that subsidiary.

Goodwill
Other intangible assets
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)
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.
At each reporting period end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The carrying amount of the investments accounted for using the equity method is tested for impairment as a single asset. Any goodwill included in the carrying amount of the investment is not tested separately for impairment. In the Consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 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.
Trade debtors are subject to a financing agreement whereby an advance is received based upon and secured against trade receivables.
Where the Group has retained significant benefits and risks relating to the factored debts, separate presentation is adopted whereby the gross debts and a corresponding liability in respect of the advance received are shown separately on the balance sheet. The interest element of the factor's charges is recognised as it accrues and is included in the profit and loss account with other interest charges.
The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Balance sheet when the Group 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
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.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.

URBAN RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments 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 payables, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies 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.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical judgments in applying the entity's accounting policies No significant judgments have had to be made by management in preparing these financial statements. Key sources of estimation uncertainty The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows: Share based payments The assumptions underpinning the fair value of the share options and likelihood of share options being exercisable are key sources of estimation uncertainty. In particular, these include the valuation of the Company, vesting period, volatility and risk free rate.
