Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 June 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The directors aim to present a balanced and comprehensive review of the developments and performance of the business during the year and its position at the year end. This review is consistent with the size and complexity of the business and is written in the context of the risks and uncertainties faced by the business.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Given the size and nature of the group, the financial risks are not complex in nature and the directors take responsibility for managing those risks. The directors do not consider there to be any financial risks related to foreign currency exposure as the group does not operate in the overseas sector. The directors consider there to be low exposure to price risk. The group carries out appropriate checks to mitigate exposure to credit risks. The directors actively monitor the available bank and cash resources held by the group and believe that it has an appropriate mix of loan finance to mitigate liquidity risks. The directors are satisfied that the current level of interest cover is sufficient and that the benefits or mitigating interest rate risk are outweighed by costs.

The most fundamental risks faced by the group are:
- Failure to comply with regulation, possibly leading in extreme cases to the revocation of the care home's
registration.
- Failure to achieve quality standards, possibly leading to the suspension of admissions to the home.
- Budgeted occupancy levels not being achieved with negative effects on profit.
- Average weekly fees do not rise, at least in line with costs, putting profit margins under pressure.
- Failure to retain and motivate nursing and other qualified staff, adversely impacting admissions.
-Dealing with infectious disease risks and reducing the risk of breakouts in the homes while maintaining the mental health of residents and minimising the risk from unvaccinated staff.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
The directors of the company have acted in accordance with their duties under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, having due regard to the matters set out in section 172(1)(a) to (f).

In particular, the directors have had regard to:

The likely consequences of any decision in the long term:
The group operates residential care homes and considers the long-term sustainability of its services, regulatory compliance, and reputation in all material decisions. The directors regularly review operational performance, investment in facilities, and future growth plans with a long-term perspective.

The interests of the group’s employees:
The directors recognise that the group’s success depends on the dedication and professionalism of its staff. Regular training, performance reviews, and open channels of communication are maintained to ensure employee welfare and engagement. The group continues to monitor and respond to staff feedback across all care homes.

The need to foster business relationships with suppliers, customers, and others:
The group maintains strong relationships with local authorities, regulators, suppliers, and service providers. These relationships are essential to the group’s smooth operation and compliance in a regulated sector.

The impact of operations on the community and environment:
The group is mindful of its social responsibilities, particularly within the communities where its care homes operate. It seeks to engage with local organisations and initiatives and is exploring options for reducing environmental impact through energy-efficient practices.

The desirability of maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct:
The directors are committed to maintaining high ethical standards, governance, and integrity throughout the group’s operations. All decisions are made in line with the group’s core values of care, respect, and responsibility.

The need to act fairly between members of the company:
The board ensures that decisions are taken with due regard to the interests of all shareholders. The directors aim to maintain transparency and accountability in the management of the group’s affairs.

The board meets regularly to consider the group’s performance and strategy. Key decisions taken during the year have been informed by the considerations listed above, consistent with the directors’ duty under section 172.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The directors constantly review the care home sector and will continue to consider opportunities for acquisitions and disposals as they arise.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR
This has been a positive year for the company and this is reflected in an increase in turnover and profits before taxation. This left the company in a positive position moving into the upcoming year. The most significant costs relate to staff and they are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Future staff costs are considered when considering fees charged to residents.

Full details of the group's performance can be seen in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

BUCKLAND CARE (HOLDINGS) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07965064)

Report of the Directors
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the financial statements;
- 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group 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 group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, A & N (Haslemere) Limited - Statutory Auditors, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





Mrs J E Birkett - Director


9 April 2025

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Buckland Care (Holdings) Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Buckland Care (Holdings) Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 30 June 2024 and of the group's 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 group 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 group's and the parent 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group 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
Buckland Care (Holdings) Limited


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company 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 six, 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Buckland Care (Holdings) 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 our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The objectives of our audit, in respect to irregularities, including fraud, are: to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidenceregarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses; to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit, to obtain audit evidence regarding compliance with provisions of applicable laws and regulations, and to respond appropriately to any non-compliance identified. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities including fraud and
non-compliance with laws and regulations our approach was to consider the following:
- the nature of the industry or sector, control environment and business performance;
- the results of enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of
irregularities;
- matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the
financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.

We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included UK Companies Act, employment law, tax legislation and health and safety.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.

We assessed the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identifiedthe greatest potential for fraud to be in respect of the recognition of income. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation;
- enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
- reviewing material legal costs in the period;
- performing analytical procedures to identify unusual or unexpected relationships;
- reviewing correspondence with HMRC;
- testing the appropriateness of judgements made in making accounting estimates, journal entries and other
adjustments made by management for indications of potential bias; and
- evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal
course of business.


Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Buckland Care (Holdings) Limited

The likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

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.

Comparative figures
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements on 3/5/24.

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Buckland Care (Holdings) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

Monetary amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest whole £.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

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" and the Companies Act 2006

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its own subsidiaries ("the group") as they formed a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the FRS 102 merger accounting methodology. The results, cash flows and balances of all combining entities have been brought into the financial statements of the group.

Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements.

Significant judgements and estimates
In applying the Group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The directors' judgement, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made and are based on historical experience and other factors that considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent sensitivity involved in making judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ..

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.

The directors' have made key assumptions regarding the expected useful life of intangible fixedassets, these being depreciated at the rates documented in the accounting policies.The expecteduseful life has been determined by the director's expectations of the homes acquired and theirexperience of the industry.

The directors' have made key assumptions to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment of the Group's tangible and intangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Services
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts.

Turnover is recognised in advance of nursing care provided to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the turnover can be reliably measured. This is funded by individuals or Government agencies. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer's interest in the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over its useful economic life of 10 years.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

The group adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental futurebenefits to the group. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repair and
maintenance are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income during theperiod in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over theirestimated useful lives, using the straight line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Freehold property - Straight line over 50 years
Fixtures and fittings - 25% reducing balance

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjustedprospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant charge since the last reporting
date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
The group only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, 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.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the group has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the group in independently administered funds.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Revaluation of tangible fixed assets
Individual freehold and leasehold properties are carried at current year value at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the Balance Sheet date.

Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally
qualified valuers.

Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Changes in Equity unless lossesexceeded the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, inwhich case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss.

Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bankloans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends arerecognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

Interest income
Interest income is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income using theeffective interest method.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like intangible assets and plant,property and equipment, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that an asset maybe impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any asset or group of related assets, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less cost to sell, is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income
.
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or group of related assets is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or group of related assets in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income..

Going concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making their assessment, the directors have considered the group's customers, suppliers and staff. The group has introduced and adhered to all guidance as instructed by the UK Government for the safety and welfare of the home's residents and staff. The group have prepared budgets and forecasts for the next twelve months, which take into account changes in trading conditions. These demonstrate that the company should have the financial resources to cope with a significant reduction in the occupancy of the care homes, in the event that such a scenario was to arise. The group has net current liabilities (despite a positive shareholders' funds) but through the continued support of its directors and related parties the group is able to continue and does not see issues arising in the following 12 months from sign off. Based on the above the directors believe that the group will continue to have adequate financial resources for the foreseeable future.
