STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The directors are satisfied with the results for the period, which have been achieved in a challenging world. The directors aim to provide a balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of the business, which despite market pressure has seen the company continue to build its residential home and supported living units principally in the north of England as supported by the financial statements for the year.
Financial
The company is exposed to risks arising from economic, political, and legislative changes, in particular to changes in the National Living Wage. Although the company is clearly not able to influence changes in interest rates, inflation and other economic factors, the directors closely monitor performance in all key areas and adapt policy decision accordingly. The company realises that its relationships with its suppliers and customers is key to its success and as such works closely with them to build long lasting business relationships. Staff recruitment The company’s success is dependent on its staff and the ability to recruit and maintain good quality staff. The company invests in training and through induction and aims to provide a safe and secure workplace for all individuals. Occupancy The company’s occupancy levels are key to its continued success and any significant reduction would have an adverse effect on the results of the company. Occupancy levels are maintained through continued close working with the local authorities. Legislation and regulation The company’s care home activities are monitored by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The company takes its responsibility seriously and puts into place the necessary checks and monitoring to ensure compliance and is always willing to work with the CQC to maintain and improve standards. Community and environment The company understands how important friendship and interaction with others are as part of life in the community. Therefore, we create an environment that encourages this to happen naturally. It's why you'll see excellent interaction between staff and service users in each of our homes, with close friendships also developing between the service users themselves. We acknowledge that the care homes are deeply within communities and all efforts are made to blend in and respect all parties concerned.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’. 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 company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MILEWOOD HEALTHCARE LTD
We have audited the financial statements of Milewood Healthcare Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity 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 Financial Reporting Standard 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
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.
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MILEWOOD HEALTHCARE LTD (CONTINUED)
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 Auditors' 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:
The Company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation, and general regulations such as health and safety. Compliance with CQC regulations and reviews are also key requirements on the Company and Group that may impact the Financial Statements. We assessed the extent of compliance with the appropriate laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. We understood how the Company is complying with the legal and regulatory frameworks by, making inquiries to management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures. The engagement partner assessed whether the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognize non-compliance with laws and regulations. The assessment did not identify any issues in this area. We assessed the susceptibility of the Company financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: - Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud; - Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process; - Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and - Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations. As a result of the above procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: - Posting of unusual journals and complex transactions. - Misappropriation of funds through fraudulent purchase ledger. - Manipulation of amounts subject to significant judgment or estimate. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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 Auditors' Report.

Amounts designated as rents paid in the statement of comprehensive income represent amounts payable to the parent company who own the properties used for trading purposes. The payments are not subject to a formal lease agreement but have been calculated making reference to a long term loan facility to represent the amounts required to service the loan facility and associated interest charges of the ultimate holding company. The amounts payable therefore do not represent a right to use asset under the definitions of IFRS 16.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The company recognises financial instruments when it becomes a party to the contractual arrangements of the
instrument. Financial instruments are de-recognised when they are discharged or when the contractual terms expire. The company's accounting policies in respect of financial instruments transactions are explained below: Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either fair value or amortised cost, depending on the classification of the financial assets. Fair value through profit or loss All of the company's financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses being recognised in profit or loss to the extent they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset. Impairment of financial assets The company always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables and amounts due on contracts with customers. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated based on the company's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate. Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. Financial liabilities Fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss, when the financial liability is held for trading, or is designated as at fair value through profit or loss. This designation may be made if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise, or the financial liability forms part of a group of financial instruments which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, or the financial liability forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IFRS 9 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. At amortised cost Financial liabilities which are neither contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, held for trading, nor designated as at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or where appropriate a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

In particular management have considered the impact of IFRS16 Leases regarding motor vehicles. Management are of the opinion that monthly rentals be charged to the statement of comprehensive income as they are due and have not recognised a "right to use" asset on the basis any adjustment for this financial period and prior periods would be immaterial.
