- 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
- “The directors are able to report that the year to 31 March 2025 saw increases in performance from the previous year. The company achieved a Pre-tax profit for the year of £371k compared to a prior year profit of £225k. Shareholders funds increased from £13.26m to £13.49m.”
- “During the year, we looked to stabilise and re-purpose this service after closing the Nursing Unit in the prior year, to move towards a dementia service offering in addition to our current resident care service.”
- “The sale of the vacant land adjacent to Pennington Court completed in 2023 to a social housing provider. Construction concluded in Autumn 2024 with new residents moving in during Winter 2024.”
- “In July 2025, the Government published its 10-Year Health Plan, which sets out a long-term shift towards delivering more health and social care within community settings, supported by greater integration with the NHS and increased use of digital technology.”
- “In December 2024, the company restructured its borrowing facilities, consolidating existing loans into a 15-year facility and reducing the overdraft limit.”
- “Since December 2024, Bank of England interest rates have decreased by 0.75 percentage points, easing some of the wider economic cost pressures.”
