The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The company’s principal activity remained the provision of medical services, particularly independent expert medical evidence, to the insurance industry and legal sectors.
The profit and loss account shows that the company achieved a turnover of £19,642,120 in line with the previous period result of £19,660,204 (restated).
The profit and loss account shows that the company achieved a profit before tax of £1,447,543, compared to the prior period of £1,566,918. The company has suffered a reduction in profits in part due to changes in employers National Insurance rates.
During the prior year, the group and company refinanced which improved the credit facility and the terms. The increase in revenue during the year has resulted in an increase in trade debtors due to the long-term credit offered to customers, resulting in an increase in interest payable.
Overall, the directors are pleased with the performance of the business during the year, along with the financial position of the company as shown on the balance sheet, where net assets have increased to £6,050,948 from the prior period of £4,971,515. These results allow a stable platform for growth in the next financial year.
Key performance indicators are disclosed on page 3.
The directors have undertaken a comprehensive review of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the company and consider that appropriate measures have been implemented to manage and mitigate these risks. Ongoing monitoring and governance processes are in place to ensure that emerging risks are identified and addressed in a timely manner, supporting the continued resilience and stability of the business.
Legislative risk
Part of the industry in which the company operates is overseen by the Ministry of Justice through the MedCo portal, introduced in April 2015. The company is an accredited high-volume national medical reporting organisation and complies with MedCo’s requirements. It monitors updates to the system and qualifying criteria, although future changes could adversely affect the company. Since the portal’s introduction, the company has continued to increase its share of cases sourced through MedCo.
To mitigate the risk above, the company continues to grow revenue from non-MedCo claims.
Credit and cashflow risk
The company’s principal assets are trade debtors. The company offers extended credit terms to many customers, typically exceeding two years because of the time required to settle the underlying claims. This results in a significant level of working capital being absorbed by the business.
This risk is mitigated through regular reconciliation of customer balances, prompt issue of credit notes, and ongoing monitoring of customer payment values and profiles.
Liquidity risk
The company monitors its short and medium-term cash requirements to ensure it has sufficient funds to meet liabilities as they fall due. This is supported by invoice discounting facilities which provide funding for working capital requirements.
The company is actively seeking to improve the balance between short and long-term credit terms and continues to explore opportunities to reduce overall debtor days.
Interest risk
The company is financed through an invoice discounting facility, as disclosed under loans and overdrafts. The facility is subject to interest at a margin above Bank of England base rate, exposing the company to the risk of future rate increases.
Competitive risk
The company operates in a highly competitive market with several alternative providers. It remains focused on delivering a market-leading service at a competitive price. Customer contracts generally extend beyond two years and are regularly reviewed to ensure that both relationship quality and commercial terms remain competitive and represent strong value in the market.
The company intends to continue increasing its share of MedCo cases, while growing revenue from non-regulated claim types and exploring adjacent markets where its services can be delivered with lower working capital requirements.
With the support of the group, the company expects to secure further business from competitors by maintaining its high-quality service offering.
The board uses a range of both financial and non-financial measures to monitor and manage the business effectively. The most significant of these are the key performance indicators (KPIs). The key financial performance indicators are turnover, gross profit and profit before tax in real time. These KPIs indicate the volume of business generated as well as the efficiency and profitability of the business. Non-financial measures include a business focus on impeccable customer service and staff satisfaction of those employed by the company. These are reviewed daily, weekly, and monthly.
Key performance indicators used by the company were as follows: | ||||||

Shareholders and Long-Term Success
The directors continually assess the company’s strategic direction and financial performance to ensure the business remains sustainable and financially resilient. Throughout 2025, the board focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet, prudent cash management and investment in growth opportunities that support the company’s long-term objectives. Significant strategic decisions were evaluated based on their anticipated long-term impact on profitability, cash generation, operational resilience and shareholder value.
Employees
The company's employees are fundamental to delivering high-quality services to customers and clients. The directors receive regular updates on employee matters, including recruitment, retention, training, wellbeing and engagement. During the year, investment continued in leadership development, operational capability and systems improvements designed to support employees in performing their roles effectively. The board remains committed to maintaining an inclusive and supportive working environment that enables colleagues to develop professionally whilst contributing to the success of the company.
Customers and Business Relationships
Maintaining strong relationships with customers, medical professionals, rehabilitation providers, legal firms, insurers and other key stakeholders remains central to the company's strategy. The directors regularly review customer service performance, operational metrics and market developments to ensure the company continues to deliver high-quality services and innovative solutions. Strategic decisions are assessed with consideration for customer outcomes, service quality and the long-term sustainability of customer relationships.
Suppliers and Partners
The company relies upon a network of independent medical experts to support its operations. The directors recognise the importance of fair and responsible business practices and seek to maintain constructive relationships with suppliers through transparent communication and timely settlement of obligations. Key supplier relationships are reviewed regularly to ensure that service quality, commercial arrangements and operational resilience continue to support the company's objectives.
Impact on Communities and the Environment
Whilst the company's activities have a relatively limited environmental impact compared to many industries, the directors remain committed to operating responsibly and seeking opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce waste. The board considers the wider social impact of the services provided by the company, particularly in supporting access to healthcare, rehabilitation and medico-legal services for individuals across the United Kingdom.
High Standards of Business Conduct
The directors promote a culture of integrity, accountability and professionalism across the company. Compliance with applicable laws, regulations and industry standards remains a core component of the company and group's governance framework. The board receives regular updates on regulatory developments, risk management, information security, financial controls and compliance matters to ensure that the company maintains high standards of business conduct and corporate governance.
Fairness Between Members
The directors seek to act fairly between all members of the company and carefully consider the impact of decisions on shareholders collectively. Decisions regarding investment, financing, distributions and strategic initiatives are taken with a view to balancing the interests of shareholders with the long-term sustainability and success of the business.
On behalf of the board
The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:
The results for the year are set out on page 10.
No ordinary dividends were paid. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.
The group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade creditors, debenture and trade debtors. The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds for the group’s operations. Due to the nature of these funds there is no exposure to price risk. Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding and overdue. Trade creditors risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due.
The auditor, Price Bailey LLP, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.
After considering the company's forecast for the next 12 months, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate cash and resources to meet all requirements to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have also received confirmation that the parent company will continue to provide support where necessary. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
In the current year, the FRS 102 Periodic Review 2024 was applied by the company for the first time.
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 of the profit or loss of the company 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; and
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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
We have audited the financial statements of Premier Medical Group Limited (the ‘company’) for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and related notes to the financial statements, including 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).
Basis for 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
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 has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 the Company not complying with the applicable laws and regulations including fraud in particular those that could have a material impact on the financial statements. This included those regulations directly related to the financial statements, including financial reporting, tax legislation and distributable profits. In relation to the industry, this included consideration of the Company’s Medco status. The risks were discussed with the audit team and we remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We carried out specific procedures to address the risks identified. These included the following:
A review of legal fees incurred;
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
Enquiring of management including those responsible for the key regulations;
Reviewing the key accounting policies and estimates;
Agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; and
A review of the latest Medco assessment, consideration of the policies and procedures in place to ensure the company is compliant with Medco and the response from management in implementing recommendations and guidance highlighted by Medco in the most recent review.
To address the risk of management override of controls, we carried out a review of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. We reviewed systems and procedures to identify potential areas of management override risk. In particular, we carried out a review of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions to identify large or unusual transactions. We reviewed key authorisation procedures and decision-making processes for any unusual or one-off transactions. We also assessed management bias in relation to the accounting policies adopted and in determining significant accounting estimates.
Due to 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.
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.
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 an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume any responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or the opinions we have formed.
The profit and loss account has been prepared on the basis that all operations are continuing operations.
Premier Medical Group Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Palatine House, Belmont Business Park, Durham, DH1 1TW.
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 £.
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:
Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows'.
Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’.
The company has early adopted the Amendments to FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and other FRSs Periodic Review 2024 (FRS 102 periodic review amendments 2024) contained within FRS 102 (2024) which, if not early adopted, are applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
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.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as being measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
At inception, the company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A lease arises where the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of the use of an asset occurs where the company has both the right to direct the use of the asset, and the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from that use.
Where a tangible asset is acquired through a lease, the company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. Right-of-use assets are included within the same line items on the Balance sheet as owned assets.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives or grants received, plus initial direct costs and an estimate of the cost of obligations to dismantle, remove or restore the underlying asset and the site on which it is located.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently adjusted for remeasurements of the lease liability and applies the relevant cost model, fair value model or revaluation model as set out within the accounting policies for the applicable asset class. Where the cost model is applied, the asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term, and is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are unpaid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the company's incremental borrowing rate or the company’s obtainable borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees, the exercise price of any purchase options that the company is reasonably certain to exercise, and any penalties for early termination of a lease.
At each financial period end, the lease liability is adjusted to reflect payments made and interest accrued. Also, the lease liability is remeasured to reflect lease modifications and any changes to the factors considered at initial measurement, as set out above. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery that have a lease term of 12 months or less, or for leases of low-value assets including IT equipment. The payments associated with these leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In the comparative period, the company classified leases as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases were classified as operating leases. Assets held under finance leases were recognised as assets at the lower of the assets' fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability was included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments were treated as consisting of capital and interest elements and the interest was charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Rentals payable under operating leases, less any lease incentives received, were charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis was more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset were consumed.
In the current year, the FRS 102 Periodic Review 2024 was applied by the company for the first time and affects the financial statements as follows.
The company has applied the FRS 102 Periodic Review 2024 amendments to Section 20 Leases, with zero impact to the opening balance of retained earnings.
The company’s revised accounting policies for leases are set out in note 1 and the adjustment for each financial statement line item affected by the application of the Periodic Review 2024 in the current period is set out below.
The company has taken advantage of the following practical expedients permitted when applying the Periodic Review 2024:
For contracts that have previously been assessed for the existence of a lease, the company has not reassessed whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application.
Leases previously classified as operating leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application have been treated as short-term leases.
A single discount rate has been applied to portfolios of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
Information received and choices made after the date of initial application have been applied to the assessment of leases previously classified as operating leases, such as in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
Where leases have previously been assessed as onerous operating leases, the right-of-use asset recognised at the date of initial application has been adjusted by the amount of any provision for onerous leases recognised, instead of carrying out a separate impairment assessment.
The company has applied the FRS 102 Periodic Review 2024 amendments to Section 23 Revenue for the first time using the fully retrospective approach and has therefore restated the comparative financial information with effect from the beginning of the preceding accounting period.
The company’s revised accounting policies for revenue are set out in note 1 and the adjustment for each current period financial statement line item affected by the application of the Periodic Review 2024 is set out below. Retrospective adjustments for the application of the Periodic Review 2024 are set out in the notes.
The company has taken advantage of the following practical expedients permitted when applying the Periodic Review 2024:
For completed contracts that have variable consideration, the transaction price used is that applying at the date the contract was completed.
Contracts that were modified before the date of initial application have not been retrospectively restated for the contract modifications. Instead, the aggregate effect of the modifications has been applied when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations.
Completed contracts have not been restated if they begin and end within the same annual reporting period or had been completed at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
For prior periods presented, the company has not provided a quantitative or qualitative explanation of the significance of unsatisfied performance obligations and when they are expected to be satisfied.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.
Revenue from services is recognised in accordance with the policy set out at 1.3. While cases typically complete within two years, there are instances where cases are unsuccessful, and fees are not recoverable. As a consequence, significant judgment is required to account for potential unsuccessful cases.
A prudent provision for credit notes is made to estimate the potential impact of case profiles and the respective incomes. The provision is calculated based on extensive historical experience, up-to-date information on current market trends, utilising industry knowledge, and other relevant factors. Any such assumptions are by their nature subjective, and if actual outcomes differ from these assumptions, it could give rise to a materially different financial outcome.
The provision is calculated as a percentage of invoiced revenue in a calendar year. Therefore, should the provision be over or understated by 1%, the impact in the financial statements based on 2025 turnover would be £192,804 (2024: £193,057). Given the long credit offer to customers (see KPIs), the percentages applied in prior years are reviewed annually, and estimates are adjusted accordingly in line with actual trading performance until all invoices raised have been collected. As some cases settle over a longer period, the impact of a 1% change in provision could be compounded by the number of years taken for cases to settle, meaning the cumulative impact of changes in underlying trends on this provision could be significant over time.
Therefore, the financial results of the company are sensitive to movements in this provision if underlying trends change. However, the senior management team believes they have adequate and robust controls and key performance indicators (KPIs) in place to continually monitor and assess the suitability of the provision, and that it is fairly stated in the financial statements based on all available evidence at the year-end. The directors are confident that the credit note provision reflects a reasonable and prudent estimate given the inherent uncertainty.
Management exercises judgement in determining whether contracts with customers include a significant financing component under FRS 102 Section 23, based on the timing between transfer of services, payment and the commercial terms of the arrangement.
Future base rate changes could affect the net present value of revenue and may potentially have an impact on the company.
From re-running the model used to discount turnover to present value, with a percentage change of 1% or 2%, the difference in the interest element would be immaterial.
The discount rate applied for 2025 is 6.5% (2024: 7.5%).
Changes in assumptions could have a material impact on trade receivables and revenue recognition.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to the principal activity of the company, and wholly undertaken in the United Kingdom.
Revenue recognised from contracts with customers is shown below as Turnover - gross less Present value adjustment: £18,794,744 (2024 restated: £18,903,690).
Turnover is calculated as below:
To comply with FRS102 (Section 23) Periodic Review 2024 amendments
Where payment for goods or services is deferred beyond normal business credit terms (typically more than 12 months), the arrangement is considered to include a significant financing component.
In such cases, revenue is recognised at the present value of future cash flows, discounted using an appropriate market rate of interest.
The difference between the nominal value of the consideration and its present value (the financing element) has been recognised within turnover. It has been recognised as a present value adjustment over the period of deferral using the effective interest method.
Trade receivables are initially recognised at their present value. The discount is subsequently unwound, increasing the carrying value of the receivable, with the unwinding recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as a unwinding present value adjustment within turnover.
There is an assumption regarding the timing of the payments based on historic performance, amounts expected within the first 12 months post period end, these amount's should not be discounted as there is deemed to be no significant financing component.
Discounting of the receivables should begin after 12 months.
The reduction in lease payments and increase in deprecation is due to the early adoption of FRS102 (Section 20) Periodic Review 2024 amendments and the recognition of a right of use asset.
The company has elected to apply the recognition exemptions permitted under FRS 102 Section 20 for short-term leases and leases of low-value.
Short-term lease costs relate to property rentals being £22,559 for 2025.
Low-value lease costs relate to scanners and a photocopier being £3,514 for 2025.
The company leases office premises. Property leases generally have non-cancellable terms of one year and may include options to extend beyond the initial lease period.
The leases contain no significant residual value guarantees but include restrictions on assigning or subletting the leased assets without the lessor's consent.
Leasing of scanners and a photocopier are generally on a fixed term of between 3 - 4 years.
For future financial commitments see note 21.
The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:
Their aggregate remuneration comprised:
The number of directors for whom retirement benefits are accruing under defined contribution schemes amounted to 1 (2024 - 1).
The actual charge for the year can be reconciled to the expected charge/(credit) for the year based on the profit or loss and the standard rate of tax as follows:
To comply with the early adoption of FRS 102 (Section 20) Periodic review amendments on leases, a right of use asset has been recognised.
The industry in which the company operates offers customers credit terms which reflect the time cases can potentially take to settle, which can exceed 12 months. These credit terms are normal for companies operating in this sector.
The classification of the amounts falling due after more than one year is based on management's best estimates of the expected settlement dates.
Included in creditors due within one year are amounts owed to group undertakings. The loans are interest free and repayable on demand.
To comply with the early adoption of FRS 102 (Section 20) Periodic review amendments on leases, a lease liability amount of £50,340 has been recognised, shown within other creditors.
Included within taxation and social security are deferred VAT amounts of £2,119,962 (2024 restated: £2,313,791) being liable in more than one year, calculated on management’s best estimates.
To comply with the early adoption of FRS 102 (Section 20) Periodic review amendments on leases, a lease liability amount of £26,617 has been recognised, shown within other creditors.
The group has access to an invoice discount facility of £20,000,000 of which £11,000,000 is assigned to the company.
As at 31 December 2025 the outstanding balance due to RBS Invoice Finance Limited in respect of the invoice discount facility was £8,312,943 (2024: £10,526,306). This balance is included in creditors due within one year.
As at the 31 December 2025 the group was utilising £14,525,799 (2024: £14,426,614) of the £20,000,000 credit facility, see note 21.
The facilities are secured by a fixed and floating charges over current and future assets of the company.
The provision for dilapidations are in respect of leases on properties occupied by the company.
