STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
This year council tax increase includes the maximum 2.99% uplift in the general council tax elements and further 2% rise in the ring fenced adult social care precept. |
The Company experienced a challenging year, adapting to the operational restrictions and limitations imposed as a |
result of the Covid-19 pandemic in the previous year. Operating in the health sector as care homes, the Company continued to trade throughout and an increase in demand as it ensured a continuation of key services to its customers. The Company has delivered a satisfactory result for the current year. Please see further information |
regarding the performance of the Company in the year in the Financial key performance indicators section below. |
The cost for provision of care has continued to rise with minimum wage legislation and extra regulatory requirements, in order to attract and retain quality staff at all levels. Nursing shortage is acute nationally and has a bearing on wage costs. The company policy has been to continually invest in the fabric of the building, purchase new equipment and invest in staff training to improve standards of care. |
The directors are very pleased with the progress that the company has made this year. All of the care homes run by the company are operating at near maximum capacity, with an average occupancy rate of 85% . |
Other Key performance indicators measured by the company include the wages to turnover rate, which is 59% (2022, 72%) and the Gross Profit Margin, which is 28% (2022, 14%). |
Food costs |
The third largest cost for care home operators is the food bill, which consumes around 3% (2022 - 4%). In comparison to last year's reporting, cost has came down significantly which held the company to reduce the losses. |
STRATEGY |
The board will continue to keep costs under control and develop existing income streams. New opportunities will continue to be sought where these will make a return for the company. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Despite funding increases, and increase in the elderly population the sector faces financial strains and is also faced with a constant barrage of regulatory charges. |
The majority of placements are from local councils which makes them a bulk purchaser of our services and therefore weakens our position with fee negotiations. This is balanced by an ever greater demand for beds and the pressure on the councils to vacate hospital beds. Increasing nursing homes are looking after very heavily dependent residents or residents who require short term care and this increases the risk of accidents and potential claims. |
Priory Court Developments Ltd, like all businesses, faces a number of operating risks and uncertainties. The most fundamental issues faced by the company are: |
- meeting bank covenants of the parent company. |
- maximising occupancy levels; |
- complying with the stringent regulations of the Care Quality Commission under which Care Homes operate; |
- achieving quality standards; and |
- attracting and retaining high quality qualified and other staff. |
The cost for provision of care has continued to rise with minimum wage legislation and extra regulatory requirements, Inorder to attract and retain quality staff at all levels. Nursing shortage is acute nationally and has a bearing on wage costs. The company policy has been to continually invest in the fabric of the building, purchase new equipment and invest in staff training to improve standards of care. |
Company monitor the performance on monthly and quarterly basis in order to achieve the required covenants for the banks. The required quality control to satisfy the CQC is monitored by the company management on a regular basis. |
Risk of business interruption: |
The recent interruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has also provided the company with a present and future risk to consider. The company has taken all steps possible to ensure the safety of our employees whilst working hard to develop processes that ensure the business has the financial resilience to prosper through this difficult period. At present we continue to follow government guidelines and operate cautiously in the wake of an ever evolving economic landscape. The group's financial performance will inevitably be impacted by the crisis during 2020 and beyond. Despite the challenges the company has faced throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we feel we are in a good position to maximise the opportunity that will inevitably materialise through the growth of the economy. |
CONCLUSION |
Priory Court Developments Ltd is considered to have sufficient financial resources, as a consequence the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. |

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Param & Company Ltd, will be proposed for re-appointed in accordance with the companies Act 2006, s.485. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
PRIORY COURT DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Priory Court Developments Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, 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). |
_ |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | 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 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 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 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
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 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. |
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 Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
PRIORY COURT DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
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 Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
PRIORY COURT DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED |
Auditors' 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |
The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud |
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 care home sector. |
* 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, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental 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 2 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; |
*enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
*reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators including the Health and Safety Executive, and the company's legal advisors. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
PRIORY COURT DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED |
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 enquiry 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 Report of the Auditors. |
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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |

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. |
