STRATEGIC REPORT
for the year ended 31 December 2021

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2021.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of Accellacare UK Limited ("the Company") is to provide clinical research services to the pharmaceutical industry. This is primarily done through carrying out clinical trials at our research sites globally. There has been a drop in activity compared with the prior reporting period which is mainly attributable to one large study having reduced activity as it neared completion.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The results of the Company are set out on page 10 of the financial statements.
The directors do not envisage a significant change in the activities of the Company over the coming year.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The company is exposed to financial and business risks as noted below. The company has in place risk management policies that seek to limit the adverse effect of these risks on the financial performance of the company.

Credit risk
The company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debtors and unbilled receivables. The amounts presented in the Statement of Financial Position is net of allowances for doubtful debts, estimated by management based on prior experience, the current economic environment or specific customer issues. The company has implemented polices that require appropriate assessments of potential customers and reviews of existing customer histories before a sale is made.

Foreign exchange risk
The company operates internationally and as such not all contracts will be in the company's functional currency. Contracts usually span a few years and are forecasted to return a certain level of profit. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may have an impact on the forecasted profit. Management consider this to be an acceptable level of risk.

Business risk
There are risks and uncertainties relevant to the company's business, financial condition and the results of operations which may affect future performance. The factors listed below are amongst those which could cause its actual results to differ materially from expected or historical results.

Continuation of work undertaken
Clinical trials are complex and the data collected is regularly monitored for both safety and efficacy reasons. If issues arise on a trial, it can be terminated early causing a reduction in future revenue from that trial. Management mitigates this risk by participating in multiple studies for different clients.

Regulatory authorities
Our work is subject to inspections from regulatory authorities and we need to ensure that our processes and work meets the expected standards. Management mitigate this risk by maintaining strong oversight through regular quality control and quality assurance reviews.


Recruitment of qualified employees
The success of the company's business depends on its ability to attract and retain qualified clinical, professional and administrative staff. The company believes that its reputation, growth prospects, good compensation and benefits packages, together with the excellent training schemes offered, allows it to offer broad experience to existing and prospective employees.

Reliance on information technology
The company is reliant on information technology systems. Any disruption to these systems due to internal or external factors could materially affect the company's operations. Management utilise a number of information technology security measures to mitigate this risk.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
for the year ended 31 December 2021

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued
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.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
ACCELLACARE UK LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Accellacare UK Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity 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 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' (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 2021 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 UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
ACCELLACARE UK LIMITED


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 Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept, 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on pages four and five, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
ACCELLACARE UK LIMITED


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

In identifying and assessing the risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

- reference to past history and experience of the Entity,
- enquiry of management, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation concerning
the Entity's procedures relating to:
- identifying and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances
of non-compliance;
- detection and response to risk of fraud and whether they were aware of any actual or suspected
instances of fraud.
- assessment of the controls and processes that the Entity has in place to mitigate risk

Our assessments included the identification of the following potential areas for fraud:
- Management override of control;
- Revenue recognition, particularly in respect of delivery of services

We design audit procedures by tailored and directed testing to aid and support the determined level of risk. In response to the assessed risk we plan audit tests and procedures that target specific areas where misstatement may occur. These procedures and the extent to which they are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below:

- We critically assessed the appropriateness and tested the application of the revenue and cost
recognition policies
- We tested the appropriateness of accounting journals and other adjustments made in the
preparation of the financial statements
- We reviewed the Entity's accounting policies for non-compliance with relevant standards.
- We made enquiries of management and reviewed correspondence with the relevant authorities to
identify any irregularities or instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations

In performing an audit in accordance with UK GAAP, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit process.

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion or override of internal controls. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
ACCELLACARE UK LIMITED


Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Taxation
Current taxes are based on the results shown in the financial statements and are calculated according to local tax rules, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.


Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Leases
Leases are recognised as operating leases. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments which have not yet been made and subsequently measured under the amortised cost method. The initial cost of the right-of-use asset comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, lease payments made prior to the lease commencement date, initial direct costs and the estimated costs of removing or dismantling the underlying asset per the conditions of the contract.

Where ownership of the right-of-use asset transfers to the lessee at the end of the lease term, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. If ownership of the right-of-use asset does not transfer to the lessee at the end of the lease term, depreciation is charged over the shorter of the useful life of the right-of-use asset and the lease term.

Employee benefit costs
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate.

Government grants
Government grants are recognised as other operating income where receivable.
