2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
In the year ended 30 December 2022 the company generated a loss after tax of £7,411,425 (2021 as restated: profit of £249,291). Cash and cash equivalents were £101,621 (2021: £355,261) as at 30 December 2022. |
The directors have prepared detailed cash flow forecasts for the company for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The forecasts consider the directors' views of current and future economic conditions that are expected to prevail over the period. The Company's forecasts are dependent on the group providing further funding in a severe but plausible downside scenario. Lovett Care Holdings Limited, "The Group", has indicated that it intends to provide financial support to the Company as required. The directors have concluded that the Group has the ability and intent to provide this support. |
The key factors considered in reaching this conclusion are summarised below: |
- The Group has access to debt facilities consisting of an external term loan of £60m and a shareholder term loan of £52m. |
Both facilities are subject to covenant compliance. |
- The aggregate value of group debt as at 30 December 2022 is £48m. |
- The external term loan was granted in March 2023 and is repayable in February 2029. The shareholder term loan expires or is repayable in August 2024. The cash flow forecasts assume the shareholder term loan will not become repayable and instead, will be transferred to shareholder equity. Subsequent to the year-end the shareholders commenced a process to formally consider equitizing the shareholder term loan debt facility. A subordination agreement between the external loan provider, Group and shareholders prevents the shareholder debt being repaid should it result in a covenant breach on the external debt. |
In performing their assessment, the directors have considered a severe but plausible downside scenario which models the impact of a downturn in trade. In this scenario revenues are combined with increased costs due to inflationary pressures. This results in a corresponding fall in profitability with the impacted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) although covenants continue to be met. |
As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. |
Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as that fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |
Investment property |
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
