Strategic Report

Year ended 31 December 2022

The principal activities continue to be the provision of care homes, property services and operation of a garden centre. The operational activity of Rochmills (Holdings) Limited hs recovered from the pandemic and the group has seen an increase in turnover (£10.57m compared to £8.96m in 2021). A general increase on costs and reduced government grant income has resulted in an overall group pre tax profit of £110k compared to £537K in 2021. At the year end date the group had gross assets of £41.1m (2021 - £41.6m) and net assets of £19.3m (2021 - £19.4m). Midland Care Home Limited was revisited during the year by the CQC which has resulted in the home receiving 'Good' status, during the year the home had an occupancy rate of 80%. Burlington Court Care Home Limited continued to perform extremely well with the home remained fully compliant during the period, and retained its' status as an "outstanding" care home, during the year the home had an occupancy rate of 83%. The Property portfolio continued to perform in line with expectations, with the garden centre also seeing an improvement in trade. S172 Statement The Board of Directors, both individually and collectively, have continued to act in a manner which they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the ongoing success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole, as required by S172 Companies Act 2006. In doing so they have, amongst other matters, given regard to the following: - The likely long-term consequences of any decisions - The interests of the Company's employees - The need to foster the Company's relationships with its customers, suppliers, and others - The impact of the Company's operations on both the community and the environment - The desirability of maintaining the Company's reputation for high standards of business conduct, and - The need to act fairly between members of the Company. During the year under review, the Board's focus was on achieving three principal objectives, each of which was intended to further the interests of the Company's shareholders. These objectives were: - To protect and preserve the business - To keep our residents and staff safe and well during the pandemic - To improve the operational efficiency and commercial performance of the business To protect and preserve the business Throughout the financial year, the Board's priority was maintaining and improving the performance of the Group as a whole with specific regard to improving the performance of Midland Care Home, and Woburn Sands Emporium; which was achieved. To continue to improve the lives of our residents Following the COVID pandemic, 2022 saw the majority of the restrictions at the care home lifted. It has allowed us to improve the lives of our residents by focusing on more community engagement and events. These have included trips and events to enhance the quality of life of our residents. Our ongoing training and development of our team ensures that employees have the necessary skills and empathy to provide high-quality care and support. To improve the operational efficiency and commercial performance of the business Throughout the financial year the Board continued to look at improving the operational efficiency and commercial performance of the business. Measures that the Board took included: - Strengthened the management team at Midland Care Home, which improved the business performance. - Supply chain management to optimise costs, lead times and reliability - Progressed a scheme for a new care home in Woburn Sands. - Process optimisation to streamline workflows Current objectives In the forthcoming financial year, the Board is focuses on the following areas: - To protect, preserve and grow the business - To continue to improve the lives of our residents - To further improve the operational efficiency and commercial performance of the business Future Risks The future risks affecting the Group relate to the inherent risks in operating care homes. The needs of our residents will continue to grow and change, particularly with the inclusion of a nursing home within the Group. The Group will have to continue to increase resources, to deliver the exceptional person-centred care that our residents require, and this in turn carries an increased financial burden for the company, without any guarantee of additional revenue. The uncertainties surrounding Brexit continue to be a concern for not only the Group, but the industry as a whole. The Group has assessed the potential risks of a change in the labour market following Brexit and are implementing plans to mitigate against the risk, including becoming a Licence Sponsor with the Home Office. Risks The group uses financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprising borrowings, cash and other liquid resources and various other items such as trade debtors and creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the group's operations. The main risks arising from the group's financial instruments are interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. The policies have remained unchanged from previous years. Interest rate risk The group finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits, bank borrowings and hire purchase agreements. The groups exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its borrowings is managed by the use of both fixed and floating facilities. Liquidity risk The group seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. Primarily this is achieved through loans. Short term flexibility is achieved by overdraft facilities.

Methodologies for energy and emissions calculations

This is the third report for the Rochmills Group.

The usage has been assessed for the entire group, and the following methodology was used:

Gas

Actual usage was taken from supplier bills to give the kWh used and the relevant rate has been applied.

Electricity

Actual usage was taken from supplier bills to give the kWh used the relevant rate has been applied.

Fuels

Mileage: for mileage claims the claim was divided by .45 to establish the number of miles, and the number of miles was multiplied by the relevant rate based upon type and fuel.

Fuel: Fuel purchases were checked for actual number of litres purchased; this was multiplied by the relevant rate

EV charging: Supplier bills evaluated and the relevant rate

LPG: Cylinder size has been multiplied by 1.96 to convert to litres. Number of cylinders multiplied by number of litres has been calculated; this was multiplied by the relevant rate

Intensity Ratio

For the intensity ratios we have split the business into two sectors - care and non-care. For non-care we have calculated the impact per built SQM and for care we have calculated the impact by bed space.

Non-Care

For non-care the intensity ratio is tCO2 = 0.0316069 per SQM compared to 0.0369441 for 2021

Care

For care the intensity ratio is tCO2 = 1.367643673 per bed compared to 1.689744646 for 2021

Efficiency Measures

The Group continues to implement the following energy efficiency actions throughout the year.

- Moved fleet vehicles from diesel to EV where possible

- Introduced HF ballasts for fluorescent tubes

- Replaced lights with LED fittings

- Installed PIRs in cupboards, store rooms and toilets where possible.

It is clear that these energy improvements continue to have a positive effect on our environmental impact.

Principal measures taken to increase energy efficiency

- Replaced one of the boilers in Burlington House with a new more energy efficient boiler

- Moved fleet vehicles from diesel to EV where possible

- Introduced HF ballasts for fluorescent tubes

- Replaced lights with LED fittings

- Installed PIRs in cupboards, store rooms and toilets where possible.

Employment of disabled persons

Full and fair consideration is given to the employment of disabled persons having regard to their particular aptitudes and abilities. Appropriate training is provided for disabled persons and this includes retraining for alternative work of employees who become disabled.

Employee involvement

The group places considerable value on the involvement of its employees and keeps them informed on matters affecting them as employees and on the various factors affecting the performance of the group. This is achieved through formal and informal meetings and social activities.

Disclosure of information in the strategic report

The company has chosen to set out in the strategic report information about the future developments of the company and the financial instruments.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

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 the company and 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 then apply them consistently; - make judgments 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; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

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. Auditor

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Rochmills (Holdings) Ltd

Year ended 31 December 2022

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Rochmills (Holdings) Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, company statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity, company statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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 FRS 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 of the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of the group's profit for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; - 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's 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 the group's or the parent 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. 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.

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 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 have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 directors' responsibilities statement, 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. 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: Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: - the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; - we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the company and sector in which it operates; - we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006 and taxation legislation, Care Home legislation and health and safety legislation; - we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and - identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: - making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and - considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: - performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; - tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; - assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in Note 3 were indicative of potential bias; and - investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: - agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; - reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; - inquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and - reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to inquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. 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 auditor’s 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 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 December 2022

1. General information

The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Burlington House, 369 Wellinborough Road, Northampton, NN1 4EU.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

The parent company is not considered to be a qualifying entity under FRS102 and accordingly no exemptions have been taken.

Consolidation

The financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Group and all of its subsidiary undertakings. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included from or to the date that control passes. The parent company has applied the exemption contained in section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not included its individual statement of comprehensive income. The consolidated accounts have been prepared using the merger accounting method.

Non-controlling interests

Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity. Minority interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.

The proportions of profit or loss and changes in equity allocated to the owners of the parent and to the minority interests are determined on the basis of existing ownership interests and do not reflect the possible exercise or conversion of options or convertible instruments.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as disclosed in the financial statements. Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows: Property revaluation The Properties owned have been revalued in the current and in previous years using the services of a professional valuer. Where an external valuer has not been used at the year end, the directors will use their own expertise in determining the closing value of the property. Judgement is made in respect of the condition and longevity of the properties to determine this valuation. Property classification The properties are classified between property, plant and equipment and between investment property. When deciding the appropriate classification the directors consider the use of the property and the reason for its retention within the group. Goodwill amortisation Amortisation of purchased goodwill is calculated on a straight line basis and over its useful economic life which the directors have assessed and made an appropriate judgement on.

Revenue recognition

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, usually on despatch of the goods, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity, and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably. Revenue from the rendering of services is measured on completion of those services on a time basis. Revenue from the rendering of services is measured by reference to the stage of completion of the service transaction at the end of the reporting period provided that the outcome can be reliably estimated. When the outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is recognised only to the extent that it is probable the expenses recognised will be recovered.

Income tax

The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on material taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all material timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:

	Goodwill	-	10% straight line

If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in equity in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in equity in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property	-	2% straight line
Plant and machinery	-	15% - 33% straight line
Fixtures and fittings	-	15% - 33% straight line
Motor vehicles	-	25% reducing balance
Equipment	-	`15% - 33% Straight line`

Investments

Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Income from investments is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the accounting period to which it relates.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Finance leases and hire purchase contracts

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised using the accrual model. Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense.

Financial instruments

The company holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the company and their measurement basis are as follows: Financial assets - trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments. Cash at bank is classified as basic financial instrument and is measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
