| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| for the period 1 April 2023 to 29 September 2024 |
| The directors present their strategic report for the period 1 April 2023 to 29 September 2024. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The year under review was one of considerable change and reorientation for the company. The period began with encouraging sales performance, although margins remained under pressure due to product mix and cost factors. In response, the company undertook a strategic shift towards a more focused and margin-led product approach, aligning commercial efforts with higher-value areas of the portfolio. As the year progressed, trading conditions became more challenging, impacted by ongoing global disruptions, including supply chain volatility, raw material shortages, and transport delays. In the final quarter of the financial year, the company initiated a programme of operational realignment, including the transfer of selected assets, aimed at streamlining the business and positioning it for future growth. Since that time, the focus has been on ensuring a smooth transition of key operational elements and maintaining continuity across supply and customer channels. |
| Key performance indicators: |
| Increase in sales 17.46% |
| Gross profit margin 2024: 19.15% 2023: 25.73% |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The company operates in a highly regulated and competitive industry, and as such is exposed to a number of sector-wide risks and uncertainties. These include regulatory risks, where changes in legislation or compliance requirements-either in the UK or overseas-may impact the company's ability to manufacture, supply, or sell pharmaceutical products. The company works with third- party manufacturers and supply chain partners, who are themselves subject to similar regulatory and operational risks. Exchange rate fluctuations remain a concern, particularly where input costs are incurred in foreign currencies and margins are sensitive to pricing movements. Competitive pressures also present challenges, particularly in the generic and commodity product sectors, where supply and demand can shift rapidly and shelf life limitations can lead to excess or unsellable stock. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| The company expects that its current transition activities will continue into the next financial year, as it completes the implementation of its recent strategic realignment. Looking ahead, management will assess new opportunities for growth within the healthcare sector. While the environment remains highly dynamic, the director is confident in the company's ability to adapt and respond to changing market conditions. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| MANX HEALTHCARE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02904497) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| for the period 1 April 2023 to 29 September 2024 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period 1 April 2023 to 29 September 2024. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividends will be distributed for the period ended 29 September 2024. |
| EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE PERIOD |
| Information relating to events since the end of the period is given in the notes to the financial statements. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 April 2023 to the date of this report. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the 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 (United Kingdom Accounting Standards 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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 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 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. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Luckmans Duckett Parker Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| MANX HEALTHCARE LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Manx Healthcare Limited (the 'company') for the period ended 29 September 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, 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 29 September 2024 and of its loss for the period 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 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| 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 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. |
| 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 Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| MANX HEALTHCARE LIMITED |
| 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 Report of the Directors. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, 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 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 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 to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| MANX HEALTHCARE LIMITED |
| 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 a Report of the Auditors 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: |
| In identifying and assessing the risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
| - | reference to past history and experience of the Entity, |
| - | enquiry of management, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation concerning |
| the Entity's procedures relating to: |
| -identifying and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; |
| -detection and response to risk of fraud and whether they were aware of any actual or suspected instances of fraud. |
| - | assessment of the controls and processes that the Entity has in place to mitigate risk. |
| Our assessments included the identification of the following potential areas for fraud: |
| - | Management override of control; and |
| - | Revenue recognition - specifically the recognition according to date of despatch of drugs |
| as applicable, and manipulation of revenue through management override of journals. |
| - | Stock provision - specifically the provision for obsolescence from out of date and short dated |
| stock |
| We design audit procedures by tailored and directed testing to aid and support the level of determined level of risk. In response to the assessed risk we plan audit tests and procedures that target specific areas where misstatement may occur. These procedures and the extent to which they are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below: |
| - | We critically assessed the appropriateness and tested the application of the revenue and cost |
| recognition policies. |
| - | We tested the appropriateness of accounting journals and other adjustments made in the |
| preparation of the financial statements. |
| - | We reviewed the Entity's accounting policies for non-compliance with relevant standards. |
| - | We made enquiries of management and reviewed correspondence with the relevant authorities to |
| identify any irregularities or instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| In performing an audit in accordance with UK GAAP, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit process. |
| We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. |
| The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion or override of internal controls. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed. |
| 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 Report of the Auditors. |

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| for the period 1 April 2023 to 29 September 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Manx Healthcare Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The company has net liabilities at the end of the period. The group remains dependent on support of connected companies. These companies have confirmed that they will continue to provide that support for the foreseeable future.The subsequent sale of stock and licenses on 3rd April 2025 has enabled the company to meet all liabilities as they fall due and to repay banking facilities. As such, the directors are confident in the company's ability to continue as a going concern. |
| Comparatives |
| The period covered by the financial statements is 18 months. The comparatives covered a period of 12 months and are therefore, not entirely comparable. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates. |
| When cash inflows are deferred and represent a financing arrangement, the fair value of the consideration is the present value of the future receipts. The difference between the fair value of the consideration and the nominal amount received is recognised as interest income. |
| Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer (usually on dispatch of the goods) , the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
| Revenue from outlicensing is recognised upon satisfaction of contractual milestones by the customer. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. |
| Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably. |
| Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: |

| Tangible fixed assets |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss. |
| A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. |
| An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the company holds a long-term interest and where the company has significant influence. The company considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate. |
| Entities in which the company has a long-term interest and shares control under a contractual arrangement are classified as jointly controlled entities. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| 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. |
| Foreign currencies |
| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
