GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
The director presents the Strategic Report for the year ended 31 August 2025.
The director is pleased with the groups financial results. Business and profits continue to grow and the future looks bright for our core business, community pharmacies in Scotland. Company strategy of running and acquiring high volume prescription businesses and selling the lower volume pharmacies in the group with the same fixed overheads is proceeding at a rate as expected. This along with efforts to drive efficiencies within the estate will mean that profits will not be unduly impacted by significantly rising payroll costs brought about mainly by legislative changes.
Plans to restructure the business so that the farm assets can be separated from the pharmacies will be a focus point during the next financial year.
It is the Group's policy that an ongoing and active interest is taken in evaluating and managing risks inherent in operating community pharmacies, the main focus of the group.
The director recognises that the main risks are as follows: Adequate staff to run the pharmacy - to mitigate this risk the management ensure there are enough qualified staff in the group and an extra pharmacist for contingency. Pharmacies cannot operate without a trained pharmacist on site. The managing director is also a pharmacist so can fit in where required at short notice. Liquidity risk - liquidity risk reflects the risk that the group will have insufficient reserves to meet the financial liabilities as they fall due. The directors objective is to ensure adequate funding is available within the group to finance the business. Credit risk - the group assesses the credit risk applicable to customers to ensure the credit is not extended where there is a likelihood of default. Financial instruments - the groups financial risk management objectives are to ensure sufficient working capital for the group. This is achieved through careful management of cash resources including trade debtors and trade creditors. The use of financial instruments is not material to the assessment of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the group. Employees - the director pursues a policy of encouraging employees to develop and train so they can reach their full potential in the working environment.
Key performance indicators used by management include group turnover which has decreased from £11,180,539 to £10,543,4610 and gross profit margin which has decreased from 38.3% to 37.5%.
There are no relevant non-financial key performance indicators.

In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to:

He is 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.

KDP HOLDINGS LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KDP HOLDINGS LTD
We have audited the financial statements of KDP Holdings Ltd (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 August 2025, which comprise the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated statement of financial position, the Company statement of financial position, the Consolidated statement of cash flows, the Consolidated statement of changes in equity, the Company statement of changes in equity and the related notes, 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).
Whilst stocktakes were carried out by third party stocktaking firms around the year ends, we have been unable to satisfy ourselves concerning the stock quantities held at 31 August 2024 and 31 August 2025 which are included in the Statement of Financial Position at £517,590 and £622,677 respectively. Consequently we are unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount, or the cost of sales in the current or previous period is necessary.
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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 qualified opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 or 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

KDP HOLDINGS LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KDP HOLDINGS LTD (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The director is responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group strategic report and the Director's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group strategic report and the Director's report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In respect solely of the limitation on our work relating to stock described above, we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we consider necessary for the purpose of our audit and we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been maintained.
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 Director's report.

KDP HOLDINGS LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KDP HOLDINGS LTD (CONTINUED)
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 Auditors' 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 Group 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:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and enquiries of legal counsel. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
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 Auditors' report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
KDP Holdings Ltd is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is 96 Victoria Road, Aberdeen, AB11 9DU.
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of comprehensive income in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
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 Statement of financial position, 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. In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the Group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 12 July 2018.

GOODWILL
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
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.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Statement of financial position when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Critical judgements The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. Depreciation Depreciation is provided based on the estimated useful economic life of each class of assets, which is judgement exercised by management. Depreciation is taken to the profit and loss in order to write off the asset over its useful economic life.
