NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

ASH PADDOCK HOMES LIMITED is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address are as below:

Registered number: 02314786

Registered office: Nicholson House
Shakespeare Way
Whitchurch
SY13 1LJ

The principal activity of the company is that of the provision of residential and care services for the elderly.

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 as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Significant judgements and estimates
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.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

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:

As described in the accounting policies of the financial statements, depreciation of tangible fixed assets has been based on estimated useful lives and residual values deemed appropriate by the directors. Estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and revised as appropriate. Revisions take in to account actual asset lives and residual values as evidenced by disposals during current and prior accounting periods.

The tangible fixed assets are regularly revalued based on independent valuations which adopt value in use as the valuation basis. Value in use is determined by considering various factors such as EBITDA, occupancy levels and trading potential. As the valuations are performed at a particular point in time, they may be subject to fluctuation depending on current trading conditions. Due to this, the director regularly reviews the value in use to ensure that it is still appropriate.

Revenue recognition
The company provides residential and care services to the elderly. The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents the fees due for the services provided during the year. Revenue is recognised in the period of care to which it is applicable.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost

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 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.

Tangible fixed assets are valued on a value in use basis as a fully operational entity including fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment held by the company and having regard to its trading potential. Due to the specialist nature of the valuations, no deferred tax has been provided on the increase in value.

Depreciation on land and buildings is not provided, as any uncharged depreciation for the year and the accumulated uncharged depreciation would be immaterial in aggregate, as a result of the estimated high residual value of the properties.

Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purpose of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash- generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.

Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce constant periodic rates of charge on the net obligations outstanding in each period.

Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

Employee benefits
The company provides a range of benefits to employees.

Short term benefits, including holiday pay, are recognised as an expenses in the profit and loss account in the period in which they are incurred

Going concern
The company is being financially supported by its parent Kingsview Homes Limited and a connected Company, Springcare Limited.

The company is a connected company of the Springcare Limited Group because they are both under common control of the director Mr L D Cox and his close family.

The Springcare group forecast shows positive results and cash generation. The Director has considered the current inflationary environment and the forecast takes into account cost pressures within the group. Occupancy levels for the Springcare Limited Group have steadily increased during the year and have continued to improve in the new financial year, which encourages us to believe that our forecasts are achievable.

The Director also considers that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company will have sufficient financial support from its fellow group companies when required and therefore have adequate resources to remain in operation for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Director continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

11. GOING CONCERN

The company is being financially supported by its parent Kingsview Homes Limited and a connected Company, Springcare Limited.

The company is a connected company of the Springcare Limited Group because they are both under common control of the director Mr L D Cox and his close family.

The Springcare group forecast shows positive results and cash generation. The Director has considered the current inflationary environment and the forecast takes into account cost pressures within the group. Occupancy levels for the Springcare Limited Group have steadily increased during the year and have continued to improve in the new financial year, which encourages us to believe that our forecasts are achievable.

The Director also considers that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company will have sufficient financial support from its fellow group companies when required and therefore have adequate resources to remain in operation for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Director continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
