Going concern

Affirmed

“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.”

Significant events

• “Due to the sudden and dramatic spike in energy prices at the end of 2022, the company incurred a marked increase in electricity costs during it's 2023-24 tax year.”
• “with near 10% increases in the National Living Wage in April 2023 and 2024, a further 6.7% rise in April 2025 and other wage inflationary pressures such as the increase in the Employer's National Insurance Contributions rate to 15% from April 2025, the company will continue to have to bear significant increases in wage, social security and employee pension costs.”
• “The company, in the previous year, deregistered 4 residential care homes and converted them into supported living units managed by its new division Mentaur Support Services Division and has in this year acquired and developed a property into another supported living service.”
• “In support of our staff recruitment strategies the company has a sponsorship license by the Home Office to enable the recruitment of suitable overseas staff.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
