1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Gorselands in the Forest 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 Company Information page.

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

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Parent company

Gorselands in the Forest Ltd is a wholly owned subsiduary of Hartwell in the Forest Ltd whose registered office is 10 St Ann Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 2DN.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value received or receivable for the provision of nursing home accommodation and ancillary care services.

Revenue is recognised on the care home services provided in accordance with the agreements that are entered into by the residents, or their representatives, before the start of their stay and the risks and rewards are transferred to the resident as the services are provided.

Revenue for additional services such as hair and chiropody is recognised once the treatment has taken place, at which time the significant risks and rewards have passed to the resident.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery etc

-

25% on reducing balance and 15% on 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 change since the last reporting date.

Investment property

Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

Investment property has been valued by a third party agent.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Debtors

Debtors do not carry any interest and are stated at their nominal value. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in the Profit and Loss account when there is subjective evidence that the asset is impaired.

Creditors

Creditors are not interest bearing and are stated at their nominal value.

Cash and cash equivalents

These comprise cash at bank and other short term highly liquid deposits.

Reserves

The movement in the fair value of investment property to open market value at the balance sheet date is recognised in a non-distributable reserve. This reserve, which also contains appropriate depreciation and deferred tax provisions, may not be distributed to the shareholders.

Any movements in the reserve are not liable to corporation tax and an appropriate deferred tax provision is provided within the reserve.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 51 (2024 - 50 ) .
