Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the group and company is that of the manufacture and distribution of dental rotary instruments, materials and mirrors to the worldwide dental trade.
Fair review of the business
The group made further investment in the UK production facility in 2025; £0.6 million invested within the existing production facility to upgrade equipment and optimise production efficiencies. These investments delivered an increase in production capacity of approximately 5.5 million units.
Average headcount reduced from 303 to 293 during the year, reflecting efficiency gains achieved through operational improvements while maintaining the Group’s ability to support current and future growth
The Group achieved sales of £42.8 million during the year. Reported revenue was impacted by the weakening of the USD against GBP, which reduced sales by approximately £0.9 million. In addition, ongoing improvements in lead times and operational efficiency resulted in a deliberate reduction in order backlog, which temporarily constrained reported sales. These developments reflect continued progress in strengthening the Group’s operational performance and responsiveness to customer demand.
Gross margin increased to 28.1% for the year, up from 25.1% in 2024, reflecting a 3% improvement. This performance was delivered against a backdrop of challenging economic conditions, including labour inflation and sustained high energy costs. The impact of higher labour costs, which increased by 1.6%, was offset by improved production efficiencies, demonstrating the benefits of ongoing operational improvement initiatives.
During the year, the Group moved to consolidate its position in India and Brazil. Prima Dental India Pty Ltd, the Group's sales and distribution business based in New Delhi, continued to develop its sales presence in the country. Angelus Prima Dental LTDA, the Group's subsidiary manufacturing and sales business based in Brazil, continues to be fully operational and manufacturing 90% of its own requirement locally. During the year, Brazil delivered sales growth of 4% vs prior year. These operations continue to form a key part of the Group's strategy in developing in these fast-growing markets.
Sales generated by the Group’s subsidiaries in China and Singapore were 14.5% lower than in 2024. Notwithstanding this reduction, gross margin increased to 35.2%, up 1.9% year on year. Both businesses continued to perform strongly, delivering solid profitability and cash generation, underpinned by effective operational execution and margin discipline.
The group's key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows:

Section 172(1) statement
The directors of the company must act in accordance with the duties detailed in section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 which is summarised as follows:
Section 172(1) (a) to (f) of the Companies Act 2006 requires each director to act in the way he or she considers would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, with regards to the following matters:
a) The likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
As a Board we are working to a 5 year growth plan that identifies the long term growth opportunities of the group. This 5 year plan requires us to make long term strategic decisions in order to deliver the goal. This plan is reviewed periodically to measure existing performance and adjust to the evolving economic, sociological and political landscapes. These plans are shared with key stakeholders.

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
b) The interest of the group’s employees;
The group's employees are fundamental to the delivery of our plan. the group aim to be a responsible employer in our approach to the pay and benefits our employees receive. The health, safety and wellbeing of the group's employees is our main priority in the way we do business. There has been significant investment and focus of training and development of employees to achieve the group’s plan in the short, medium and long term. There has been a particular focus on leadership development and in turn colleague engagement to support the group’s promotion of a high performance and inclusive culture. In support of this the group undertakes an annual employee engagement survey upon which action plans are formulated, and implemented with the aim of improving the working environment and practices.
c) The need to foster the group’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;
The group have a strong Sales and Supply Chain Management team who work closely with the suppliers across the business delivering the level and quality of the supplies required to maintain the strong growth of the group. The group aim to work in partnership with our suppliers to develop and help drive change in our organisation through innovation. The board has oversight of the sales and supply chain management team and receive regular updates on any matter of significance.
The group are a strongly customer focused organisation and encourage regular feedback from our customers to ensure we are meeting their developing requirements and delivering them the high quality of product and service we pride ourselves upon.
d) The impact of the group’s operations on the community and the environment;
As a group we strive to ensure that the decisions we make have a positive effect upon the local community and environment. As a group we look to give back to the community and recently created a charity group to support and provide funding for various projects within the local community.
e) The desirability of the group maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct;
As the Board of Directors, our intention is to behave responsibly and ensure that management operates the business in a responsible manner, operating within the high standards of business conduct and good governance expected for a business such as ours.
f) The need to act fairly as between members of the company;
As the Board of Directors, our intention is to behave responsibly toward our shareholders and treat them fairly and equally, so they too may benefit from the successful delivery of our plan. We report to each shareholder on a monthly basis reporting the performance of the business against agreed budgets and forecasts.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The execution of the group’s strategy is subject to a number of risks. The process of identifying and managing risk is overseen by the directors and management. The key business risks and uncertainties affecting the group are summarised as:
Foreign exchange rate risk
The group trades across the world and the majority of the sales are in non-sterling denominated sales. As a result, exchange rate fluctuations impact the results and cash flows of the group. Certain of the group’s finance facilities are denominated in non-sterling currencies which act as a natural hedge. The group utilises forward exchange contracts to further minimise this risk.
Raw material supply and pricing fluctuation
The group require a consistent supply of raw materials to meet the demand of its customers. Due to the commodity nature of the raw material, pricing fluctuation and supply delays and shortages are risks to the group. To minimise this, the directors agree on annual pricing and supply agreements with suppliers and hold regular meetings with the suppliers to align the supply and demand of the raw materials.
Foreign subsidiaries
With the foreign subsidiaries continuing to grow and develop as entities, the directors continue to monitor the risk of the accuracy of financial reporting. To mitigate this, each entity submits management accounts to include Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow. These are reviewed at Group Management meetings with the Directors. Periodic visits to each subsidiary are completed throughout the year by members of the Prima Group Management team.

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Research and innovation
The group continues to invest in the development of new products, which the directors believe to be a source of competitive advantage. The group also continues to invest on Research and Innovation (R&I) activities. The directors are confident these advances will provide substantial sales opportunities in the future.

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
The directors present their report and the for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Directors of the group
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Matters covered in the Strategic report
Information on the engagement with employees and engagement with suppliers, customers and others is included in the Strategic Report in the s172(1) statement. The group's business environment and risks, together with details of monitoring undertaken by the directors, are dealt with elsewhere in the Strategic Report.
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The group's financial instruments comprise cash and liquid resources, and various other items such as trade debtors, trade creditors etc. that arise directly from its operations, with appropriate levels of funding. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the operations of the group. The main risks arising from the group's financial instruments are set out below.
Liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, price and foreign exchange rate risk
Liquidity risk
The directors' aim is to ensure the group has sufficient liquid resources to meet its operational requirements. This is closely monitored by the directors. The group is funded through working capital and a short term loan from the immediate parent undertaking, which is repayable by instalments as set out in the notes to these financial statements.
Interest rate risk
Certain of the group's borrowings bear interest rates linked to the bank base rate. The group is therefore subject to interest rate risk. The group has close dialogue with its lenders and closely monitors the interest rate charge to minimise the exposure to this risk.
Credit risk
The group offers certain of its customers credit. Before credit terms are agreed, an assessment of the customer's credit rating is undertaken to ensure the group is not exposed to a major credit risk. Credit limits are set accordingly. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
Price and foreign exchange rate risk
The majority of the group’s sales are transacted in non-sterling currencies. As a result, exchange rate fluctuations impact on the results and cash flows of the group. Certain of the group’s finance facilities are denominated in non-sterling currencies and therefore act as a natural hedge. The group utilises forward exchange contracts to further minimise this risk.
Employment of disabled persons
The group's policy is to recruit disabled workers for those vacancies that they are able to fill. All necessary assistance with initial training courses is given. Once employed, a career plan is developed so as to ensure suitable opportunities for each disabled person. Arrangements are made, wherever possible for retraining employees who become disabled, to enable them to perform work identified as appropriate to their aptitudes and abilities.

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Future developments
The directors are confident that the group will report continued growth and strong earnings performance.
Going concern
After reviewing the group's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources available to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company and group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Methodology
Greenhouse gas emissions are reported in gross tonnes CO2e in line with the requirements of large unquoted companies set out in the UK Government’s Environmental Reporting Guidelines (March 2019 version) and use the UK Government GHG (Green House Gas) Conversion Factors for Company Reporting (2024 version 1.0). The operational control approach for the company’s UK activities has been applied and is guided by the GHG Protocol – Corporate Standard (revised edition). Gross calorific values have been applied to conversion of natural gas and net values to vehicle fuel. Emissions from electricity are location based and report grid purchased electricity (Scope 2) with associated transmission and distribution losses reported within Scope 3.
|
Intensity ratio The intensity measurement used is tonnes CO2e per 100,000 produced burs. During the year ended 31 December 2025, this was 1.583 Tonnes CO2e per 100,000 burs. A reduction of 18.9% on 2024. |
Energy efficiency action
Production volumes increased by 0.4% during the year, reflecting continued efficiency gains across operations. Despite the increase in output, total electricity consumption reduced by 5.3%, supported by a focused approach to machine downtime management and energy efficiency initiatives.
The solar panels installed in the fourth quarter of 2023 continued to perform strongly, generating 470,829 kWh and accounting for 9.6% of the total annual electricity consumption
The group have seen a 75% reduction in the volume of gas usage as we continue to focused on temperature monitoring. This is the main contributor to reduction in the intensity ratio.

Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited)
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, Directors' Report 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 group and company 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 apply them consistently; |
• | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
• | state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and |
• | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group and company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group's and the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and 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 group and the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited)
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited) (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and 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 the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 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 auditor 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 group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were 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 included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
Opinion on other matter 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
|
• |
the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited)
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our 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 and the Directors' Report.
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 8, 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 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.
Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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.
Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
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 considered the nature of the group’s industry and its control environment and reviewed the group’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the group operates in and identified the key laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including the UK Companies Act and tax legislation, and, those that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the group’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.
We discussed among the audit engagement team regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements.
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override of controls. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgements made in accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
|
• |
reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements; |
Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited)
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited)
|
• |
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatements due to fraud; |
|
• |
enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and |
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, 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, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed 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 are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the parent 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 parent 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 responsibility to anyone other than the parent company and the parent company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except for, where disclosed in these accounting policies, certain items that are shown at fair value.
The presentational currency of the financial statements is Pounds Sterling, being the functional currency of the primary economic environment in which the group and company operates. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest Pound.
Summary of disclosure exemptions
Prima Healthcare Group Limited meets the definition of a qualifying entity under FRS 102 and has therefore taken advantage of the disclosure exemptions available to it in its separate financial statements. Exemptions have been taken in the company's separate financial statements in relation to financial instruments and presentation of a statement of cash flows.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 December 2025.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Profit and Loss Account from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the group.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised is recorded as goodwill.
No profit and loss account is presented for the company as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full.
Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling shareholder’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
Going concern
After reviewing the group's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources available to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The group and company therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the group’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements
The directors have exercised judgement in determining that certain investee entities are subsidiaries for the purposes of consolidation under FRS 102. Although the Group holds less than 50% of the voting rights, it is considered to have control based on commercial arrangements that provide the Group with the ability to direct key financial and operating policies and obtain benefits from the entities’ activities. Accordingly, these entities have been treated as subsidiaries and fully consolidated in the financial statements. |
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Management review stock lines against sales data to estimate the value of stock that requires provision. Estimation uncertainty arises as historical sales data may not be representative of future sales. The carrying amount of the provision is £1,642,071 (2024 - £1,226,098)
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the group’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the group.
The group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.
The group consider that the risks and rewards of ownership pass when products are delivered to customers and it is at this point that revenue is recognised.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the group operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements and on unused tax losses or tax credits in the group. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
|
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
|
Short leasehold improvements |
Over the term of the lease |
|
Plant and machinery |
10-15 years on a straight line basis or a unit production basis |
|
Fixtures and fittings |
4-10 years on a straight line basis |
Intangible assets
Separately acquired intangible assets are included at cost and amortised over their useful lives. Provision is made for any impairment.
Amortisation
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:
|
Asset class |
Amortisation method and rate |
|
Software costs |
20% straight line |
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Investments
Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for goods sold in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. All trade debtors are repayable within one year and hence are included at the undiscounted cost of cash expected to be received. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the debtors.
Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the Group does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are 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.
Dividends
Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the profit and loss account over the period of the relevant borrowing. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the group has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the group will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised at the lower of their fair value at inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments. These assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs in the profit and loss account and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
Share based payments
Cash-settled share based payments are recorded at fair value at each reporting date. Movements in fair value are recorded through the profit and loss account.
Derivative financial instruments
The company uses derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to foreign currency risk. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date. The company does not apply hedge accounting. Accordingly, all gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised in profit or loss as they arise.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Where shares are issued, any component that creates a financial liability of the company is presented as a liability on the balance sheet. The corresponding dividends relating to the liability component are charged as interest expenses in the profit and loss account.
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Impairment
Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss as described below.
A non financial asset is impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition, the estimated recoverable value of the asset has been reduced. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
Where indicators exist for a decrease in impairment loss, the prior impairment loss is tested to determine reversal. An impairment loss is reversed on an individual impaired asset to the extent that the revised recoverable value does not lead to a revised carrying amount higher than the carrying value had no impairment been recognised.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of an impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets carried at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount that would be received for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.
Where indicators exist for a decrease in impairment loss, and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the prior impairment loss is tested to determine reversal. An impairment loss is reversed on an individual impaired financial asset to the extent that the revised recoverable value does not lead to a revised carrying amount higher than the carrying value had no impairment been recognised.

Share-based payments |
Scheme details and movements
a) $2,500,000; and
b) 5% x (Fair Value – Hurdle Amount).
A put and call option agreement between the participant and Prima Healthcare Group Limited (formerly Prima Dental Manufacturing Limited) over the shares, with exercise periods as follows:
- Put option: after 31 December 2024 or on and before 30 June 2025.
- Call option: on or after 1 July 2025 or on or before 31 December 2025.
If the options are not exercised on or before such dates, they shall lapse.
Accordingly, the arrangement is ultimately cash-settled. FRS 102 requires the fair value to be re-calculated at each reporting date.
The pay-out is based on the market value of the Company at exercise and therefore the shares are considered to have a market-based performance condition which must be allowed for within the fair value of the shares.
The Monte-Carlo valuation model has been used to calculate the fair value of the shares. The model projects the market value of the company to the expected exercise date at which point it places a value on the purchase of the shares taking into account both the value created above the Hurdle Amount, and the cap at $2,500,000.
This simulation is replicated c. 100,000 times to provide a distribution of potential outcomes taking account of the volatility of the company's market value. The average projected purchase price of the shares is calculated and then discounted at the risk-free rate of interest to the date of grant.
The fair value of the shares as at 31 December 2025 is £Nil (2024 - £1,300,000) following the settlement of the agreement during the year as part of a company purchase of own shares, as set out in note 23.
