Directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (Financial Reporting Standard 102 and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and group and of the profit or loss of the company and group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company and group will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Disclosure of information to auditors
Each person who was a director at the time this report was approved confirms that:
so far as he is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the group's auditor is unaware; and
he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditor is aware of that information.

Strategic Report
The directors presents their strategic report for the company and its subsidiaries for the year to 31 December 2023.
Review and analysis of business during the current year
The group continued its principal activities throughtout the current year.
The group's trading operations are undertaken by Verisfield SA which is registered in Greece.
Development and financial performance during the year
As shown in the group's Profit and Loss account, the group's sales have increased by 24.3 % over prior year's and the gross profit margin was 46.8% compared to to the previous year's of 49.1% and is in line with the expectations of the group's directors reflecting the current market position. The group's after tax profit was €2,060,682 compared to €3,465,761 in the previous year. The group's profitability was mainly attributed to higher volume of export sales where margins are higher as well as higher volume of sales of profitable products to the domestic market. This year's after tax profit is lower compared to the previous year due to increased expenditure on Research and Development which has been written off the profit and loss.
The directors in the group monitor the performance of the business and consider the key performance indicator, the gross profit margin, which they have maintained at an acceptable level.
Financial position at the reporting date
The consolidated Financial Position on page 10 shows a net assets position of €6,390,176 compared to a net assets position of €7,829,494 in the previous year. The decrease in the net assets position was due to dividends paid in the year which were higher that the after tax profitability achieved in the year.
Principal risks and uncertainties facing the business
The group regularly reviews the risks faced. Market risk has been identified as a major potential risk to the successful performance of the business. The group directors are aware of these risks and monitor their potential impact on an ongoing basis.
In the normal course of business, the group is subject to a number of risks that are inseparably linked to the operations of its business. The group trades primarily in Greece where risk levels are relatively high due to the economic downturn in recent years and the Greek goverment has pursued a price reduction policy in respect of pharmaceutical products as well as charging a levy which is based on turnover. Even though the group is facing the uncertainty as to whether the Greek goverment will continue its price reduction policy which has an impact on the level of domestic sales and profitability the group will continue its efforts towards development and launch of new profitable products, increase export volumes further where there is no limit on the sales prices that can be charged, continue the sales of licenses for pharmaceutical products for fees or royalties and focus on sales of most profitable products to the Greek market.
Post year end review and Covid-19
The trading operations of Verisfield SA have been marginally affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown imposed by the Greek government as the company deals in pharmaceutical products and was permitted to trade throughout lockdown.
The report was approved by the board on 11/11/2024 and signed on its behalf:

VERISFIELD (UK) LIMITED
Independent auditor's report
to the members of VERISFIELD (UK) LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the company and group financial statements of VERISFIELD (UK) LIMITED for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the consolidated Income Statement, the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the company and consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 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 FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the 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 and group's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its profit for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company and group 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 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.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the report and financial statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. 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. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
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 group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or 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.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement, the directors are 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 directors determine is 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 directors are responsible for assessing the company’s and group'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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s 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 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.
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:
As part of our planing process:
We considered the audit of the subsidiary and communicated with the component auditors to ensure that we would have appropriate evidence available to us.
We enquired of management the systems and controls the company has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are mostly susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company. We determined that the following were most relevant: FRS 102, Companies Act 2006, health and safety, and employment law.
We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the company, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.
Using our knowledge of the company, together with the discussions held with the company at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.
The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:
Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual.
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied.
Reviewing and challenging the assumptions and judgements used by management in their significant accounting estimates.
Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations in particular those that are central to the entities ability to continue in operation.
Testing key revenue lines, for evidence of management bias.
Performing a physical verification of key assets, including stock.
Obtaining third-party confirmation of material balances.
Documenting and verifying all significant related party balances and transactions.
Reviewing documentation such as the company board minutes, correspondance with solicitors, for discussions of irregularities including fraud.
Reviewing the audit of the component auditors to ensure suitable evidence has been obtained.
Testing all material consolidated adjustments.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with the directors.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the accounts is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's and group'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 and group'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 group and the company's and group's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2023
1 Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
The company and its subsidary company Verisfield S.A. form a medium size group which would require consolidation under Companies Act 2006.
Going Concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors expect the company to continue its operating existence in the foreseeable future. As explained in more detail in the strategic report, the company's priority is to continues to pursue a policy of increasing the export sales volume where high profit margins can be charged, focus on sales to the domestic market of profitable products, sales of licenses of pharmaceutical products for fixed fees or royalties, and development and launch of new profitable products. The directors believe that by focusing on these policies the company has been profitable over the last few years and expect the group will continue to trade profitably for the foreseeable future , and therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis for accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of pharmaceutical products and licenses and provision of research and development services. Turnover from the sale of the pharmaceutical products and licenses is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of research and development services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the service. The stage of completion of a service is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative amortisation and any accumulative impairment losses. Amortisation is provided in equal instalments over its estimated economic life of 10 years.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
Buildings - improvements costs over 25 years
Plant and machinery 10% - 20% straight line
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost of raw materials is calculated using the weighted average method. The cost of finished and semi-finished products is calculated using the weighted average costs of raw materials and actual for other costs of production.

The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
Taxation
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Provisions
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.

At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss.
Operating lease commitments
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Research and development
Research and development costs are written off to the profit and loss account in the year the expenditure is incurred.
