The director of the company has elected not to include a copy of the profit and loss account within the financial statements.true

For the financial period ended 30 October 2024 the company was entitled to exemption from audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

The director acknowledges his responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of financial statements.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the period in question in accordance with section 476.

These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

LP SD One Hundred Twenty Nine Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Two Four Nine North Lynnfield House, Church Street, Altrincham, United Kingdom, WA14 4DZ.

The entity extended the reporting period from 31 August to 30 October in line with other group and related entities. The 15 month period reported to 30 October 2024 will therefore not wholly be comparable to future 12 month years.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

At the balance sheet date, the company had net liabilities of £143,832. The directors have confirmed that they will continue to provide financial support to the company until such time that the financial position improves. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.true

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.

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; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.

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 are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation 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:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.

Stocks held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of cost and replacement cost, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

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.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the period was:

LP SD One Hundred Twenty Nine Limited does not employ any staff. All staff are employed by a related entity, Barrie Dear Limited, with wages and other employee costs being recharged to the reporting entity.

The implementation of a new computerised NHS system has resulted in delays and discrepancies in the recovery of prescription charge income by the company. The NHS has formally acknowledged the existence of these system-related issues and has confirmed that remedial action is ongoing to rectify the deficiencies and correct the errors identified.

The items being submitted each month do not match with the amounts reimbursed by the NHS. Whilst the volumes submitted are being acknowledged, the values reimbursed do not reconcile with the payments received. The company incurs the cost of purchasing these medicines and supplying them to patients in good faith on the understanding that it will be reimbursed correctly; however, this has not been the case. As the NHS does not provide a precise value for each unpaid item, the company has estimated the shortfall by applying the average ingredient cost to the number of items underpaid. The directors consider this methodology to provide the most reliable estimate of the income ultimately recoverable.

On this basis, the directors have determined that the value of prescription income subject to recovery amounted to £46,159 at the balance sheet date. It remains the directors’ view that all prescriptions were administered in accordance with the required standards, and accordingly that the related income will be recovered in full. Resolution of this matter is anticipated by late 2025 or early 2026, at which point the directors expect settlement of the outstanding amounts by the NHS.

The following amounts were outstanding at the reporting end date:
