STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The directors present their strategic report on the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Business review
 
The Company’s principal activities during the year were the development and manufacturing, under GMP conditions, of liquid filled hard capsules for clinical and commercial (licensed) products.

Performance during the year and future developments
 
Turnover for the year was £12,758,602 (2024: £11,206,786), an increase on the previous year linked to strength and delivery of commercial contracts whilst maintaining consistent development revenue year on year. Net assets at 31 December 2025 were £21,108,148 (2024: £19,452,478).

The business delivered performance above expectations, supported by strong customer relationships and reliable delivery of services and products. Commercial revenues increased as projects progressed from development into manufacturing, and the company continued to maintain a healthy pipeline of development programmes expected to convert into commercial volumes as customers advance through clinical trials and regulatory approval.

To support long term growth, the company continued to invest in its people, equipment and facilities – to enhance operational efficiency and expand production capacity and capabilities.

Business model/strategy
 
The company’s strategy is to build and maintain a strong pipeline of clinical development projects that can transition into commercial manufacturing opportunities. Market trends—including increased demand for high potency actives, the need to improve solubility of poorly soluble compounds, and the growth of specialised dosage forms—align well with the capabilities of the Edinburgh site.

The business model is primarily fee for service. Once products reach commercialisation, MW Encap is positioned well to scale production, and pricing / costing structures are regularly reviewed to ensure competitiveness and long term customer retention.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
Key risks include macro economic factors such as global trade dynamics, geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruption and  the availability of capital, all of which may influence customer funding decisions. Additional risks relate to competition from domestic and international manufacturers, fluctuations in commodity prices and challenges in retaining skilled employees.

The company mitigates these risks by serving a diverse international customer base, partnering with clients from development through to commercial manufacture, and maintaining a strong reputation for quality and reliability. Supplier diversification and regular review of pricing help manage cost pressures. Employee retention is supported through structured packages designed to motivate and retain key personnel.

Financial key performance indicators

Performance is monitored using financial KPIs including gross profit margin, net profit margin, staff costs relative to gross profit and sales growth. Directors are satisfied with performance against these indicators.

Non-financial KPIs are not presented, as the directors consider them unnecessary for understanding the company’s development, performance or position.

Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS)

Compliance with laws, regulations and other applicable Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) requirements is a top priority for Encap and its parent Company NextPharma. While compliance is a critical starting point, the Company is also focused on continually enhancing all aspects of our business, including EHS. To that end the Company seeks to achieve the highest standards of EHS performance, which includes three key elements:

1. Fully compliant operations

2. Zero EHS incidents

3. Environmentally sustainable operations, products and services.

The Company has a written policy covering each of the above three elements and it is Encap’s Site Management responsibility to implement this policy and the EHS Management System.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MW ENCAP LIMITED

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of MW Encap Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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 31 December 2025 and of its 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 Company 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 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 other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MW ENCAP LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Opinion 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 Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic report and the Directors' report 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 Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report or the Directors' report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 3, 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 is 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.
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 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 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:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MW ENCAP LIMITED (CONTINUED)

The Company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant including:

The Companies Act 2006;
Financial Reporting Standard 102;
UK employment legislation;
UK health and safety legislation; and
General Data Protection Regulation.

We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

We understood how the Company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures. We corroborated our inquiries through our  review of legal & professional nominal ledger. 

The engagement partner assessed whether the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations. The assessment did not identify any issues  in this area.

We assessed the susceptibility of the parent company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and
Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations.

As a result of the above procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud is in the following areas:

Posting of journals to the accounting software which are of a non-routine nature in terms of timing and amount;
Timing of revenue recognition;
The use of management override of controls to manipulate results; and
The potential manipulation of work in progress and consideration of onerous contracts, leading to revenue and costs being recorded within the incorrect period.


Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

 
2.5

Revenue recognition

The company has early adopted the amendments to FRS 102 Section 23 Revenue from Contracts with Customers issued in March 2024, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The amendments have been applied from 1 January 2025, being the date of initial application.

Under the amended standard the company recognised revenue under the five-step model. The requires the company to identify the contract with a customer and the separate performance obligations within that contract, determine and allocate the transaction price to those performance obligations, and recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue comprises the value of production goods and development contracts supplied by the company, net of value added tax and trade discounts. Revenue from production sales is recognised at sales invoice date when the company has released completed batches and fulfilled its obligations to customers. Revenue from development sales is predominately based on milestone stage completion which reflect the deliverables to customers. The amount of profit attributable to the stage of completion of the development sales is recognised when the outcome of the milestone can be foreseen with reasonable certainty. Provision is made for any losses as soon as they are foreseen.

Sales are normally made with credit terms of 30 to 60 days.

 
2.6

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

  
2.7

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. 

 
2.8

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.9

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.10

Taxation

Taxation expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

(i) Current tax
Current tax is the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year or prior years. Tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises from timing differences that are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements. These timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements.

Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the reporting date except for certain exceptions. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are only recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

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.


 
2.11

Intangible assets

Intangible fixed assets are held at cost and amortised over the estimated useful life of the intangible. If       there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of intangible assets, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.


Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.12

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:

Right of use asset - Building
-
over the period of the lease
Short-term leasehold property
-
over the period of the lease
Plant and machinery
-
10% to 50% straight line
Fixtures and fittings
-
15% to 30% straight line

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.

 
2.13

Impairment of fixed assets

Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication that the assets are impaired. Where there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the carrying value of the asset is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

  
2.14

Right of use assets

The company has early adopted the amendments to FRS 102 issued in March 2024, which are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The amendments have been applied from 1 January 2025, being the date of initial application.

Under the amended standard, the company recognises a right-of-use asset at the commencement date of most lease arrangements. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before commencement, initial direct costs incurred and any lease incentives received. 

The entity has taken advantage of the practical expedient supplied in FRS 102.1.48, whereby previously calculated balances under IFRS 16 for group reporting purposes have been used as opening carrying amounts.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the useful economic life of the underlying asset. Interest is charged on the lease liability using the effective interest method.

The company applies the recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, with the associated lease payments recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.15

Leases

The company has early adopted the amendments to FRS 102 issued in March 2024, which are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The amendments have been applied from 1 January 2025, being the date of initial application.

Under the amended standard, the company recognises a lease liability at the commencement date of most lease arrangements. The lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, where this cannot be readily determined, the company’s incremental borrowing rate.

The entity has taken advantage of the practical expedient supplied in FRS 102.1.48, whereby previously calculated balances under IFRS 16 for group reporting purposes have been used as opening carrying amounts.

The company applies the recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, with the associated lease payments recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Lease payments were formally recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

 
2.16

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of historical cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Inventories are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.

Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Cost includes the purchase price, including taxes and duties and transport and handling directly attributable to bringing the inventory to its present location and condition. The cost of manufactured finished goods and work in progress includes, raw materials, direct labour and other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity).

At the end of each reporting period inventories are assessed for impairment. If an item of inventory is impaired, the identified inventory is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell and an impairment charge is recognised in the profit and loss account. Where a reversal of the impairment is recognised the impairment charge is reversed, up to the original impairment loss, and is recognised as a credit in the profit and loss account.

2.17

Provisions and contingencies

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. 

In particular:
Restructuring provisions are recognised when the company has a detailed, formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation in those affected by either starting to implement the plan or announcing its main features to those affected and therefore has a legal or constructive obligation to carry out the restructuring; and
Provision is not made for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Contingencies
Contingent liabilities, arising as a result of past events, are not recognised when (i) it is not probable that there will be an outflow of resources or that the amount cannot be reliably measured at the reporting date or (ii) when the existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the company’s control. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the financial statements unless the probability of an outflow of resources is remote.

Contingent assets are not recognised. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

 
2.18

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and include useful economic lives of tangible assets, inventory provisioning, impairment of debtors and development contracts. In determining the stage of completion of contracts the actual costs incurred to date compared to the estimated total cost method is used. Estimates of total cost are also used in determining any contract loss provision required.

Accounting Judgements

Trade Debtors and Accrued Income

Included in the trade debtors and accrued income in the prior year are balances of £387,079 and £433,384 respectively, in relation to balances subject to legal dispute. This has since been resolved and as at the year end, there were no legal claims and therefore no additional assessment regarding the recovery of the balances. 

Obtainable borrowing rate in lease liabilities

The interest rate used to calculate the finance charge on the lease liabilities is the same as the interest rate used   by the wider group. This being the rate used to borrow from the group to meet capital expenditure and other requirements at the inception of the lease. The Directors' have made the judgment that this rate represents the obtainable borrowing rate for the entity, on the basis that group policy is for all capital requirements to be met by existing group cash reserves, borrowed at a rate that is considered to be representative of an arms' length arrangement per benchmarking exercises undertaken at group level. Lease liabilities are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of 4% - 7.19%.

Capitalisation of assets under construction

Where down payments and part payments have been made for assets under construction these have been capitalised on the basis that the payment is non-refundable and MW Encap bearing the construction risk. 

Accounting Estimates 

Dilapidation

Included in provisions is £503,675 (2024: £472,133) in relation to dilapidation on leased premises. During the year leases were renewed, which led to management assessing whether any dilapidation provision was needed. They have used their knowledge of the contractual obligations and the conditions of the building to estimate the cost that will likely be required at the end of the lease. The cost has been discounted using a factor of 6.70% as in line with the Group's average interest rate for borrowing.

RDEC Estimation

The Research and Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC) debtor is included at the best estimation of the RDEC claim, subject to then being finalised. In the following period the Directors carry out a "true-up" exercise to bring the debtor in line with the finalised RDEC claim. Included within other debtors is a debtor in relation to RDEC of £420,915 (2024: £270,915), which was still being finalised at the year end. The balance included within the financial statements is the best estimate of the Directors, based on information available at the year end. The final claim may alter in future accounting periods.

Early adoption of Financial Reporting Standard 102 amendments

The directors have elected to early adopt the amendments to FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” issued by the Financial Reporting Council (“FRC”) on 27 March 2024 as part of its Triennial Review. The amendments are effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2026, but early adoption is permitted and has been applied in these financial statements.

The following sections of FRS 102 have been early adopted in full:

Section 23 “Revenue” – revised recognition and measurement requirements;

Section 20 “Leases” – updated lessee and lessor accounting models;

No other changes to FRS 102 apply. 

The directors have applied a modified retrospective appraoch upon the intial application of the amendments to Section 23 "Revenue". This resulted in no adjustments to the opening balance of retained earnings as the company already applied the 5-step model for revenue recognition under the previous requirements of FRS 102. 

The directors have applied a modified retrospective approach upon the initial application of the amendments to Section 20 "Leases" and applied the following:

Recognised a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases previously classified as operating leases, measured at the present value of remaining lease payments discounted at the obtainable borrowing rate. The entity has taken advantage of the practical expedient in accordance with section 1.48 of FRS 102 and has applied this treatment to all of its leases. The cumulative effect of the initial application recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 January 2025 is £299,953.

Leases previously classified as operating leases are now recognised as finance leases and a right-of-use asset.  The right-of-use asset is initially measured at the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs, and adjusted for lease payments made at or before commencement, less any lease incentives. The impact on the statement of comprehensive income includes recognition of depreciation of £336,778 and interest expense of £340,133 in place of total cash flow for leases which total £530,960. Corresponding adjustments have been made to the statement of financial position to reflect the revised measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.
