| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
| The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2024. |
| ACTIVITIES |
| The principal activity of the company in the period under review was that of property investment, property development and operation of residential care homes for elderly persons and elderly persons with dementia. |
| The operating activities of the company were conducted from care homes located in London and from investment properties located in London and Manchester. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The results for the period and financial position of the company are as shown in the financial statements. |
| During the year we have continued to consolidate on a strong presence in the social care market having developed a quality service provision across North London. Our passionate, committed staff have played a key role in achieving a high standard of care for our service users. We have invested in improving the quality of our offering by the full refurbishment of our newest care home. Two other homes were also temporarily closed for refurbishment. Our beautifully refurbished care home was reopened after the year end. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| Our strategy in the coming year is to continue to consolidate our existing operations while putting in place plans for growth to increase our presence in the social care market in the London area, whilst developing an effective operational platform which we are confident will support our strategy. |
| With our high quality provision and with a number of further growth opportunities, we are in a favourable position to support local authorities and service users with a quality and cost effective service provision, |
| Local authorities continue to demand high quality services at competitive fee rates and we believe that the progress made by the company during the period to establish and maintain an efficient and effective cost base places us in a favourable market provision. |
| Whilst local authorities are under pressure to reduce public spending, the vulnerability of the people we support together with the strong demographic drivers of our market continues to provide a highly sustainable and growing market for our services. |
| We continue to invest in our properties to help attract placements and to support the changing needs of our service users and their placing authorities. |
| We are looking forward with confidence to the coming year. |

| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The company activities are primarily in the heavily regulated social care industry. Supporting vulnerable adults is an inherently risky activity. The company works to identify, mitigate and manage our operational risks. We have identified the following risks as having a significant potential impact on our reputation, operations and financial performance: |
| - Inconsistencies in the provision of high quality care; |
| - Compliance with a dynamic regulatory environment; |
| - Compliance with legislation or duties of care; |
| - Retaining and managing our people effectively; |
| - Major changes in government policy or legislation that impact on current market opportunities or our operating |
| performance; |
| - Managing our profit margins and banking covenants if movements in operating costs are detrimental relative to |
| changes in fee rates. |
| - Maintaining occupancy levels; |
| - Future funding. |
| We continue to have a strong focus on the quality of the services that we provide, with our reporting and management structure being complemented by a comprehensive internal quality audit function. All of our services are regulated by the Care Quality Commission with the majority of our current services being rated Good. |
| We have across the group a well-defined management structure with clear lines of delegation coupled with a culture of open communication with both internal and external stakeholders. Our managers have a clear focus on quality care, selective recruitment and staff development. |
| Insurance policies are maintained and the adequacy of these are reviewed at regular intervals. |
| The company has a robust financial control environment. Controls are in place ensuring the production of accurate and timely management information. |
| With a substantial portfolio of freehold investment properties, an established income stream across a number of sectors, a good reputation with local authority commissioning teams and access to growth capital through existing banking relationships, the company is in a strong position to continue as a leading provider of quality care service in a fragmented, large and growing market. |
| FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The key performance indicators that we monitor are occupancy rates and average weekly fees. The care homes individually achieve our key financial KPIs. Alongside this we continually monitor and reference staff costs as a percentage of turnover, gross and net profit margins to ensure our business is able to continue trading in as healthy manner as possible. |

| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
| OTHER KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The other primary key performance indicator is our ratings from our regulator, the care Quality Commission (CQC). We continue to work to improve and maintain good ratings. |

| 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 |
| The total distribution for the year ended 30 June 2024 was £571,592. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 July 2023 to the date of this report. |
| DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT |
| 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. |

| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, BKL Audit LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| BROWNLOW ENTERPRISES LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Brownlow Enterprises Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. |
| Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise |
| explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
| 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 |
| BROWNLOW ENTERPRISES 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 Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page five, 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 |
| BROWNLOW ENTERPRISES 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: |
| - Enquiring of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims; |
| - Enquiring of management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
| - Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| - Reviewing the general ledger in detail for all transactions with related parties; |
| - Performing walk-through testing to ensure systems and controls are operating as recorded, where appropriate; |
| - Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias. |
| Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulations. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
| As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: |
| - | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| - | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. |
| - | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. |
| - | Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Report of the Auditors to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Report of the Auditors. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| - | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| BROWNLOW ENTERPRISES LIMITED |
| 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. |

| 2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
| 3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies. |
| The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) which is the functional currency of the company. |
| Going concern |
| The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future. |
| 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. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| The estimate and assumptions which had the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are the valuations of freehold and investment property. The valuation of freehold property is in accordance with accounting policy 3 "Revaluation of tangible fixed assets" and the valuation of investment property is in accordance with accounting policy 3 "Investment property". The carrying value of freehold property is set out in Note 11 and the carrying value of investment property is set out in Note 13. |

| Turnover |
| Turnover represents income from the provision of care services and is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discount, rebates and value added tax. |
| Turnover represents income from the provision of care services and the amounts due in exchange for services rendered and is recognised as earned when, and to the extent that, the company obtains the right to consideration in exchange for their performance. It is derived from the principal activities of the company that are exempt for Value Added Tax purposes. |
| Revenue reflects the accrual of the right to consideration by reference to the value of the services rendered. Turnover not billed is included in debtors and amounts received on account in excess of the relevant amount of revenue are included in creditors. |
| Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. |

| Tangible fixed assets |
| Freehold property | - |
| Equipment | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
| The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
| Revaluation of tangible fixed assets |
| Freehold properties are held in the accounts under the revaluation model and as such valued at fair value less any subsequent 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 reporting 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 comprehensive income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss. |
| Depreciation is not provided on freehold properties given that properties in London generally increase in value and are unlikely to be lower than cost. |
| Impairment of assets |
| The company assess at each reporting date whether an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists the company estimates the recoverable amount of the assets. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is impaired and it is reduced to its recoverable amount through an impairment in profit and loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss of a revalued asset is a revaluation decrease. |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment. |
| Investment property |
| The freehold and long leasehold properties are held for long-term investments. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost which includes purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. At the end of each period, the carrying value is adjusted to the fair value at that date. Fair value is determined by consideration of comparable market data such as rental yields, location, condition and nature of the property. The gains and losses are taken to profit and loss at the end of each period. |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of any gains, and the amount included in the profit and loss is net of any deferred tax provision. |

| 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 statement of financial position date. |
| Deferred taxation |
| 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 or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
| The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| Pension costs |
| The company contributes to individual employees' personal pension plans. Contributions payable are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate to. The assets of the plan are held separately from those of the company in independently administered funds. |

| Financial instruments |
| The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties. |
| Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitute a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. |
| Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
| If there is a decrease in impairment loss arising from the event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to cash flow from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, of if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. |
| Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised costs, using the effective interest rate method. |
| Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. |

| Employee benefits |
| The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of fixed assets. |
| The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. |
| Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. |
| Government grants |
| Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when there is a reasonable level of certainty that the grant has been earned and, if not yet paid, will be received. This income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related expenditure. |
