Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 January 2024


The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 January 2024.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Operating risks
The market for healthcare recruitment services remains highly competitive in the current economic climate. The directors are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to ensure the company is competitive in future years. The company seeks to manage the risk of losing customers to key competitors by providing a high value service and by maintaining strong relationships and local representation with key customers.

Credit risk
The company views credit risk as an important focus in our day-to-day activities, especially in the current economic climate. Our approach to mitigate this risk is to operate a dedicated credit control team who monitor risk throughout the sales process and closely manage overdue amounts.

Currency risk
The group's objective in relation to currency risk is to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange losses. Only one of the companies within the group trades in a foreign currency and this is Euro-denominated. As such currency risk is low and not significant to the performance of the group. The company's activity exposes it to credit and liquidity risks. The company's credit risk relates to its trade debtors. The company manages this risk through regular reviews of outstanding balances and performing credit checks and maintaining trade credit insurance.

The company seeks to manage financial risks to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. Short term flexibility is achieved by means of advances from other group undertakings.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 January 2024

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
From the perspective of the Directors, the matters for consideration under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 ("sl72") have been considered to an appropriate extent by the company. Such consideration is included in the statements set out below, noting the Directors' duty under s172 to act in good faith to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its shareholders but having regard amongst other matters to the following:

- the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
- the interests of the company's employees;
- the need to foster the company's business relationships with customers and others;
- the impact of the company's operations on the community and the environment.
- the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
- the need to act fairly as between members of the company.

For the company, compliance is one of the cornerstone values and forms the basis for all decisions and activities. It is the key to integrity in conducting business. The Directors are committed to ensuring that all business is carried out in full accordance with the law as well as internal rules and principles.

The Board of Directors of the company, confirmed that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in Section 172(1) (a-f) of the Act) in the decisions taken during the year ended 31 January 2024. The following paragraphs summarise how the directors fulfil their duties:

- As the board of directors, the directors' intention is to behave responsibly and ensure that management operate the business in a responsible manner.

- As the board of directors, the directors are committed to openly engage with the company's shareholders. It is important to the Directors that shareholders understand the company's strategy and objectives, so these must be clearly communicated, feedback heard, and issues or questions raised properly considered.

- As the company's services provided grow, the directors' risk environment also becomes more complex. It is, therefore, important that the directors effectively identify, evaluate, manage and mitigate the risks the company faces. For details of the company's principal risks and uncertainties, please see previous paragraphs of our company strategic report.

- The company's employees are vital to the services provided by the company. The company aims to be a responsible employer in its approach to the pay and benefits for its employees. For the business to succeed, the company needs to manage its employees' performance and develop talent while ensuring the company operates as efficiently as possible. The health and safety of the company's employees is very important to the company.

- In order to grow the business, the company needs to develop and maintain strong business relationships. The company values all of its suppliers and customers.

30 June 2025

Direct Medics Ltd (Registered number: NI039068)

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
for the Year Ended 31 January 2024


The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the 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 accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable 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 will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and 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 company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Direct Medics Ltd


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Direct Medics Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 January 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Company Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statements, 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 January 2024 and of the group's profit for the year 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 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 group's and 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.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities, 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Direct Medics Ltd


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 Group 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors 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 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 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company 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 six, 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Direct Medics Ltd


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 audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

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. In assessing and detecting irregularities such as fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations we considered the following:

- the matters discussed among the audit engagement team and any other relevant professionals regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud;
- the nature of the industry and any laws and regulations applicable to the company and the industry;
- the company's own assessment of the risk of fraud and other irregularities;
- the company's policies and procedures in relation to:
- how they identify and comply with all relevant laws and regulations and whether they are aware of any non-compliance;
- how they detect and respond to risks of fraud and their knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
- the control environment within the company and how this mitigates risks of fraud and instances of
non-compliance with laws and regulations.

As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in relation to misappropriation of assets. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

In response to the risk of material misstatement through irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

- ensuring the engagement team had the appropriate knowledge and expertise in order to be able to identify and recognise any instances of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and management and from our knowledge and experience of the sector; and
- ensuring the audit was carried out with a level of professional scepticism.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

- enquiring of management concerns of actual and potential litigation and claims;
- agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations; and
- reviewing correspondence with HMRC and other relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

- perform analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
- test the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments;
- assess whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and
- evaluate the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Direct Medics Ltd


We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and significant component audit teams, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

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.

Use of our 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 a Report of the Auditors 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

Basis of consolidation
In the parent company financial statements, the cost of a business combination is the fair value at the acquisition date of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. The excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill. The cost of the combination includes the estimated amount of contingent consideration that is probably and can be measured reliably, and is adjusted for changes in contingent consideration after the acquisition date. Provisional fair values recognised for business combinations in previous periods are adjusted retrospectively for final fair values determined in the 12 months following the acquisition fate. Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are accounted for at cost less impairment.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the value of assets (other than goodwill) and liabilities recognised in a business combination accounted for using the purchase method and the amounts that can be deducted or assessed for tax, considering the manner in which the carrying amount of the asset or liability is expected to be recovered or settled. The deferred tax recognised is adjusted against goodwill or negative goodwill.

The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company Direct Medics Limited together with all entities controlled by the parent company (its subsidiaries) and the group's share of its interests in joint ventures and associates.

All financial statements are made up to 31 January 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.

All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

Medistaff Locum Recruitment Limited and Career Locum Group Limited has been included in the group financial statements using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the group profit and loss account and statement of cash flows include the results and cash flows of Medistaff Locum Recruitment Limited and Career Locum Group Limited for the year.

Entities in which the group holds an interest and which are jointly controlled by the group and one or more other venturers under a contractual arrangement are treated as joint ventures. Entities other than subsidiary undertakings or joint ventures, in which the group has a participating interest and over whose operating and financial policies the group exercises a significant influences, are treated as associates.

Investments in joint ventures and associates are carried in the group balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the group's share of the net assets of the entity, less any impairment in value. The carrying values of investments in joint ventures and associates include acquired goodwill.

If the group's share of losses in a joint venture of associate equals or exceeds its investment in the joint venture or associate, the group does not recognise further losses unless it has incurred obligations to do so or has made payments on behalf of the joint venture or associate.

Unrealised gains arising from transactions with joint ventures and associates are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in the entity.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Significant judgements and estimates
Impairment of trade debtors

In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount from each customer and estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future payment patterns based on factors such as historic payment trends and latest customer communications.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost
Motor vehicles - 20% on cost
Computer equipment - 20% on cost

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated 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 year 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.

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.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Revenue recognition
Income from the provision of temporary contractors is recognised at the end of the completed working week based on hours worked multiplied by the contracted rate, net of rebates. There is deemed to be one performance obligation, being the satisfactory completion of the daily hours. Revenue is only recognised when the labour or service has been provided and the company is entitled to the revenue.
