| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| for the year ended 31 January 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 January 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The result for the year is shown on page 10. |
| The group continues to operate as a diversified property investment and trading business, maintaining a balanced portfolio of residential and commercial rental properties in the United Kingdom, alongside strategic investment in the U.S. relating to a medical supply and distribution business, named, Nationwide Medical Surgical Inc. |
| Despite moderate revenue contraction within the medical supply division, the group maintained profitability, increased net assets, and preserved a strong cash position. The group's long term resilience and prudent management have positioned it for sustainable growth in the coming years. |
| Key highlights for the financial year of the group include: |
| - Operational profit: £179,485 (2024: £206,192) |
| - Net assets: £7.3m (2024: £7.0m) |
| - Cash position: £3.44m (2024: £3.05m) |
| - Gross profit margin improved to 20.34% (2024: 12.11%) |
| PROPERTY INVESTMENT DIVISION |
| The property investment division continued to perform reliably, with high occupancy levels and minimal tenant turnover. |
| Rental income for the year totalled £204,848, compared with £225,239 in 2024 - a modest decrease reflecting temporary voids due to refurbishment works. Maintenance programmes were carried out across several sites to preserve asset quality and ensure compliance with current safety and energy efficiency standards. |
| MEDICAL SUPPLY DIVISION |
| The turnover within the medical supply division decreased by 22%, from £24.5m to £19.2m, primarily due to post-pandemic normalisation in demand and timing of new customer acquisitions. |
| STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES AND OUTLOOK |
| The group's strategy is guided by the following key objectives: |
| - Generate sustainable income and capital appreciation from property holdings; |
| - Reinvest profits to enhance asset quality and diversify the portfolio; |
| - Strengthen operational efficiencies within the medical supply division; |
| - Maintain prudent financial management and strong liquidity; |
| - Explore expansion opportunities aligned with emerging healthcare and property market trends. |

| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| for the year ended 31 January 2025 |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The directors continually monitor key risks that could impact performance and take proactive steps to mitigate them. |
| Property Market Volatility: |
| Rental values and asset valuations are influenced by macroeconomic factors, including interest rates and occupancy trends. The group's diversified portfolio mitigates exposure to any single region or tenant class. |
| Foreign Exchange Risk: |
| Given the group's U.S. operations, foreign currency fluctuations impact asset valuations and reported profits. The board monitors exchange exposure closely and considers hedging arrangements where cost effective. |
| Operational Risk: |
| The medical distribution business is exposed to supply chain and logistics risks. Management continues to strengthen supplier diversification and digital systems to enhance supply chain resilience. |
| Regulatory and Compliance Risk: |
| Changes in UK property legislation or U.S. medical regulatory frameworks could affect operations. Ongoing legal and compliance reviews ensure the group remains fully compliant. |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The key financial performance indicators for the group are as follows: |
| KPI | 2025 | 2024 | Commentary |
Gross profit margin |
20.34% |
12.11% |
Significant increase due to operational efficiency improvements. |

| GOING CONCERN |

| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| JOHN S. MILLER LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01169121) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| for the year ended 31 January 2025 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 January 2025. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the group in the year under review was that of property investment. The group also holds investments in companies trading in the purchase and distribution of medical equipment and supplies in the United States. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 January 2025 (2024: Nil). |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| The group's medium term strategy focuses on sustainable growth and diversification. Strategic priorities include: |
| - Property portfolio enhancement - Acquire and refurbish assets in growth locations with potential for rental yield improvement; |
| - Medical division development - Rebuild turnover through strategic customer engagement, expanded product offerings and digital transformation of sales operations; |
| - Technology and efficiency - Leverage digital property management tools to streamline maintenance tracking, lease management and reporting; |
| - Sustainable growth - Integrate ESG principles into investment decisions to ensure long term asset value and stakeholder trust; |
| - Capital discipline: Maintain strong liquidity and low debt levels, ensuring flexibility to respond to market opportunities. |
| The group remains financially strong and well positioned to pursue disciplined growth across both divisions. With a stable property base, a recovering healthcare market, and enhanced operational focus, management expects gradual improvement in revenue and profitability over the coming year. |
| The board remains confident that John S. Miller Limited will continue to deliver sustainable value creation for shareholders and stakeholders alike. |

| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| for the year ended 31 January 2025 |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| 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; |
| - | 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. |
| 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 group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| JOHN S. MILLER LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of John S. Miller Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 January 2025 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 and Notes to the Consolidated 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 January 2025 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 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 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| JOHN S. MILLER LIMITED |
| 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 five, 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 |
| JOHN S. MILLER 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: |
| - the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| - we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the group through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the group's sector; |
| - we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the group, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, employment, and health and safety legislation and industry regulations; |
| - we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence where necessary. |
| We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an 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; and |
| - considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
| - performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected transactions; |
| - tested the appropriateness of journal entries; |
| - assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimate for the valuation of properties were indicative of potential bias; and |
| - investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
| To address the risk that revenue could be misstated due to fraud, we: |
| - obtained an understanding of the company's revenue recognition policies and compared these to the accounting standard; |
| - performed a walkthrough to confirm our understanding of the processes and controls through which the business initiates, records, processes and reports revenue transactions; |
| - tested a sample of revenue transactions to supporting evidence; and |
| - tested, on a sample basis, revenue related balances in the balance sheet. |
| In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
| - agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; and |
| - enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
| - reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators, and the company's legal advisors. |
| 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 trustees 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| JOHN S. MILLER LIMITED |
| 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. |

| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| for the year ended 31 January 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| John S. Miller Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| 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. |
| The company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 from presenting its individual profit and loss account within these financial statements. The company's profit for the financial year was £163,130 (2024: £135,243). |
| The company has also taken advantage of the exemption available under FRS 102 from preparing a cashflow statement on the basis that a group cashflow statement is presented in the consolidated financial statements. |
| Basis of consolidation |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Wholly owned dormant subsidiaries are considered not to material for the purposes of providing a true and fair view and excluded from consolidation. |

| Turnover |
| Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: |
| Sale of goods |
| Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied: |
| - the group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer; |
| - the group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
| - the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| - it is probably that the group will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and |
| - the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the group's share of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over its useful economic life. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be meade, the useful life shall not exceed ten years. |
| Software and website costs are unamortised. |
| Goodwill has a useful life of 4 years. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. |
| Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. |
| Depreciation is provided on the following basis: |
| Fixtures and fittings - 25% 4 years |
| Office equipment - 100% 1 year |
| Computer equipment - 100% 1 year |
| 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. |
| Revaluation of tangible fixed assets: |
| Individual freehold and leasehold properties are carried at current year value at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date. |
| Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. |
| Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss. |
| Investment property |
| Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by the director based on available market data and comparable property transactions. The value is derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads. |
| At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Financial instruments |
| The group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial asset or liabilities. |
| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
| Short term trade creditors are measured at transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| 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. |
| Research and development |
| Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
| 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. |
| 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. |

| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. |
| 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. |
| 3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
| 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. |
| The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include: |
| • assessing the useful economic lives attributed to tangible fixed assets used to determine the annual depreciation charge, |
| • the provision required for any bad or doubtful debts, |
| • the provision required for closing stock, |
| • the determination of the fair value of investment properties, which requires judgement in selecting appropriate valuation techniques, assessing market yields, estimating future rental income and considering comparable market evidence. |

| 8. | INDIVIDUAL INCOME STATEMENT |
| As permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, the Income Statement of the parent company is not presented as part of these financial statements. |
| 9. | PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT |
| During the year the group reviewed the classification of historic balances between the parent company and its subsidiary. Amounts previously presented as intercompany debtor and creditor balances were determined to represent a capital contribution from the parent to the subsidiary rather than an intercompany loan. Accordingly, the comparative figures have been restated to reclassify the balance from debtors to investments in the parent company and from creditors to equity in the subsidiary. This adjustment affects presentation only and has no impact on the group’s profit, net assets or cash flows. |
