Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
West Bank Residential Home Ltd operates a registered care home providing residential care services to elderly residents with varying levels of dependency. The home focuses on delivering high-quality person-centred care in a homely, safe, and inclusive environment.

The financial year to 30 June 2024 was one of consolidation and transition. Turnover increased to £5.84 million (2023: £5.43 million), reflecting stable occupancy levels and appropriate fee uplifts from local authority and private placements. The operating result remained consistent with expectations, supported by careful cost control and a continued focus on staffing efficiency, compliance, and resident satisfaction.

A significant development during the year was the disposal of the Dunmore property, which had been fully impaired and reclassified in the prior year. The transaction was completed with appropriate oversight and is fully disclosed within these financial statements.

The company remains part of a wider group of care homes under common control and benefits from shared administrative and operational resources. Intercompany balances arising from historical group support arrangements were eliminated from the company’s reserves during the year, resulting in a cleaner balance sheet position.

The company continues to invest in staff training, systems, and infrastructure to maintain regulatory compliance and enhance the quality of life for residents. Looking forward, the directors aim to sustain stable performance while responding to inflationary pressures, recruitment challenges, and the evolving needs of service users.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Given the size and nature of the company, 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 company does not operate in the overseas sector. The directors consider there to be low exposure to price risk. The company carries out appropriate checks to mitigate exposure to credit risks. The directors actively monitor the available bank and cash resources held by the company 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 company 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 risks relating to the breakout of infectious diseases and reducing the risk of breakouts in the homes while maintaining the mental health of residents and minimising the risk from unvaccinated staff.

Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
The directors of West Bank Residential Home Ltd confirm that, in accordance with their duties under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006, they have acted in a way they consider, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole. In doing so, they have had regard to the matters set out in s.172(1)(a) to (f), including:

The long-term implications of decisions made, especially in relation to continuity of care for residents and investment in compliant facilities. The interests of employees, with particular focus on training, wellbeing, and support structures aligned with regulatory standards. The importance of relationships with local authorities, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), suppliers, and other healthcare professionals. The impact of operations on the local community, including efforts to maintain an inclusive and respectful environment for staff, residents, and families. The desire to act fairly between members of the company, ensuring transparent financial and governance decisions.

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
The directors are pleased with the performance of the company during the year. Room occupancy rate is strong and costs have been controlled. 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 company's performance can be seen in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AT THE REPORTING DATE
At the balance sheet date the company had bank and cash reserves of £429,358 (2023: £409,394).

This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

PROPERTY DISPOSAL AND PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT
In prior years, the directors had made the strategic decision to cease trading at the Dunmore residential care home and dispose of the property. The property had previously been transferred to stock as work-in-progress at a value of £1,206,263 in anticipation of sale.

On review, the company concluded that the property should have remained classified as a fixed asset until disposal. A prior year adjustment was made to reverse the transfer from stock and return the property to fixed assets. In addition, the carrying value of the property was reduced by £406,264, bringing it in line with an independent valuation of £800,000 obtained from Your Move in 2024.

The property was subsequently sold to directors of the company for £800,000. The disposal was conducted at arm’s length, in line with the group’s strategic objectives, and has been fully disclosed in the financial statements in accordance with FRS 102.

The group recognises its responsibilities toward the environment and the communities in which it operates. Efforts are made to reduce energy usage, manage clinical and non-clinical waste responsibly, and maintain safe and hygienic care environments. The group supports local employment, uses local suppliers where possible, and encourages staff to participate in community-based initiatives.

WEST BANK RESIDENTIAL HOME LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05134201)

Report of the Directors
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 2024.

DIVIDENDS
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 30 June 2024.

DIRECTORS
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 July 2023 to the date of this report.

R W Birkett
Mrs J E Birkett

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The company’s exposure to financial risk is minimal. However, to the extent material to the assessment of assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss, the company’s financial risk management objectives and policies are to maintain sufficient liquidity and credit control to ensure that funds are available to meet ongoing care and operational commitments. The company’s exposure to price, credit, liquidity and cash flow risk is monitored and managed in line with these objectives. No significant financial instruments are held beyond basic instruments such as trade receivables, payables, and cash balances.

RESULT
The profit/(loss) for the year, after taxation was £270,338, (2023: (£268,972 loss)).

The directors have considered any material uncertainties to the company over the next twelve months and concluded that it is appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis.

SALE OF PROPERTY
During the year ended 30 June 2024, the company disposed of the freehold property previously used by the Dunmore residential home. This property had been held on a revaluation basis in prior years.

Following a reassessment of the property's condition and regulatory requirements, it was determined in the current financial year that the property required substantial refurbishment to meet care home standards. Consequently, the directors decided to cease trading at Dunmore and prepare the property for sale.

The deterioration in condition was considered to be an indicator of impairment. Accordingly, in a prior year adjustment within these financial statements, the property was impaired to reflect its fair value in its current condition.

In the current year, the directors, R W Birkett and Mrs J E Birkett, purchased the property for £800,000. This sale price was based on the impaired value and represented the fair value of the property in its then-current state.

The disposal gave rise no gain or loss on disposal of property sold @ £800,000, which has been recognised in the Income Statement for the year ended 30 June 2024.

The transaction was approved by the board with appropriate governance and disclosure as a related party transaction.


WEST BANK RESIDENTIAL HOME LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05134201)

Report of the Directors
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

DISABLED EMPLOYEES
The company gives full consideration to applications for employment from disabled persons where the candidate’s particular aptitudes and abilities are consistent with adequately meeting the requirements of the job. Opportunities are available to disabled employees for training, career development and promotion. Where existing employees become disabled, it is the company’s policy to provide continuing employment wherever practicable in the same or an alternative position and to provide appropriate training to achieve this aim.

EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT

In order to meet legal requirements DBS checks are carried out on all employees prior to the commencement of their employment.

In order to meet the requirements of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) ongoing training is provided to all employees in accordance to their requirements. All employees maintain a training record which can be checked at any time by the CQC. Regular meetings are held with staff to keep them informed of particular issues that may be arising with residents.

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT
As permitted by Paragraph 1A of Schedule 7 to the Large and Medium-size Companies and Group (Accounts and reports) Regulation 2008, certain matters which are required to be disclosed in the directors report have been omitted as they are included in the strategic report of page 2. These matters relate to the business review, principal risks and uncertainties, key performance indicators and future developments.

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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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.

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
West Bank Residential Home Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of West Bank Residential Home Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 30 June 2024 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
West Bank Residential Home 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 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 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
West Bank Residential Home 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 evidence regarding 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 identified the 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
West Bank Residential Home 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.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS 102, paragraph 33.1A, from disclosing transactions with wholly owned members of the group, on the grounds that the results of the company are included in the publicly available consolidated financial statements of Devon Care Homes Holdings Limited.

At the year end, the company was owed £882,389 (2023 £847,989) by a related party under common control but outside the Devon Care Holdings Ltd group. The balance arose from historical working capital arrangements and remains outstanding.

Management charges from related parties in which the directors have a controlling interest, during the year amounted to £184,488 (2023 £179,350).

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 company 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 acquire 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 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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 company 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 future benefits to the company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated 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 adjusted prospectively 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the 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 company in independently administered funds.

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 losses exceeded the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which 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.

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, 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 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 are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

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 may be 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 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company have prepared budgets and forecasts for the next twelve months, which take into account changes in trading conditions.

They continue to receive support from the parent company and the Directors moving forward. Based on the above the directors believe that the company will continue to have adequate financial resources for the foreseeable future.

9. PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT

A prior year adjustment has been made to correct the accounting treatment of the Dunmore residential care home property. In the year ended 30 June 2022, the property was transferred to stock as work-in-progress at a value of £1,206,263. On review, the company determined that the property should have remained classified as a fixed asset until disposal. Accordingly, a prior year adjustment was made to reverse the transfer from stock to fixed assets. In addition, the property’s carrying value was reduced by £406,264 to reflect an independent valuation of £800,000 obtained in March 2024 from Your Move confirmed by the directors to be the value as at 1 January 2024.. The adjustment has been recognised in opening reserves at 1 July 2022 and reflected in the restated comparative figures.
