Strategic report
For the Period Ended 31 October 2023
The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 October 2023.
The Company has completed another successful year of trading. Despite difficult trading conditions across the care industry, the Company's turnover for the period ending 31 October 2023 increased to £21 million from £18 million in 2022. During the year, the Company has extended its accounting period from 30 September 2023 to 31 October 2023 hence the financial statements show the results of 13 months where as the comparatives show the results of 12 months. Despite increase in turnover by £3 million, due to rising costs specially in wages, rent and utilities, operating profits have slightly decreased from £1.2 million in 2022 to £1.1 million in the current year. Net assets of the business at 31 October 2023 have increased to £4.3 million from £3.4 million at 30 September 2022. The directors are pleased with the performance of the Company and believe that the Company will be able to maintain steady growth in sales and operating profits in the foreseeable future.

Strategic report (continued)
For the Period Ended 31 October 2023
Principal risks include non-compliance with regulation, fee income not rising in line with the cost of providing care, lack of nursing resources and general increase in costs.
Also, the Company's activities expose it to a number of financial risks as summarised below: Credit risk The Company 's principal financial assets are bank balances, trade and other receivables. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The major proportion of the business' receivables are from Local Authorities and Health Authorities. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. It is Company policy to ensure that where a resident is privately funded, the immediate next of kin are required to sign the resident's contract. Where a resident's property is being sold to pay for their care fees the Company may require them to accept a charge on the property to secure any debt for care fees. Liquidity risk In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations the Company manages its cash flow from operations. Insurance risk The Company is exposed to potential claims from employees and from residents and their next of kin. In order to protect the Company from these risks the Board has put in place comprehensive cover with reputable insurers. Future Prospects The Company continues to improve its operating performance. The Company is well placed to grow revenue and operating profits and there are a number of opportunities to expand. Employees The company is an equal opportunities employer and gives full and fair consideration to applications for employment made by disabled persons, having regard to their particular aptitudes and abilities. Where people become disabled during the course of their employment, every effort is made to retain their services and to provide retraining, if necessary. All employees are eligible for consideration for appropriate training, career development and promotional opportunities: disabled employees are not treated differently in this respect. The company has established the practice of keeping employees informed of maters affecting them as employees and of the financial and economic factors affecting the performance of the company.

Independent auditors' report to the members of Regal Care Trading Ltd
We have audited the financial statements of Regal Care Trading Ltd (the 'Company') for the period ended 31 October 2023, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of cash flows, 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 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (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.

Independent auditors' report to the members of Regal Care Trading Ltd (continued)
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.
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 period 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.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the 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.

Regal Care Trading Ltd
Independent auditors' report to the members of Regal Care Trading 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:
∙We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102, relevant taxation legislation and CQC regulations.
∙We identified the greatest risks of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be override of controls by management, inappropriate revenue recognition and going concern. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, reviewing accounting estimates for biases corroborating revenue recognised by the company through agreements to supporting documentation and ensuring accounting policies are appropriate under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and applicable law.
∙Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing noncompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
∙These inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed to avoid detection, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.
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.
