STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Introduction
 
The principal activity during the year was the provision of residential and supported living social care services to its clients who have mental health needs.

Business review
 
In the financial year ended 31 March 2025 the company generated turnover totaling £5.16m (2024: £4.36m) and profit before tax of £688k (2024: £482k).

The company continues to invest in new properties to drive growth, with Caspian House being operational in the year. Caspian House's sixteen rooms increased the company's portfolio to a total of 79 rooms.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
Government funding of local authorities presents the main risk to the business The primary focus on mitigating this risk is to focus on delivering expertise and homes in which our clients can feel welcomed and are the first choice when social care managers are placing clients into the community.

The company is assessed by the Care Quality Commission on an ongoing basis and all homes, where rated, have achieved ratings of 'good', with one exception as disclosed in post balance sheet events in the directors report.

The UK economy saw inflation and interest rates rising and they remained high during the year. The company continues to monitor the financial markets to ensure its portfolio is financed optimally.

Financial key performance indicators
 
The company monitors its performance against strategic objectives by means of key performance indicators. The main KPl's used are orientated around turnover, gross margin, profit before tax and occupancy rates. These are summarised as follows:

                                 Mar-25 Mar-24 Mar-23 Mar-22
                              £'000            £'000        £'000            £'000
Turnover                          5,163           4,358            3,585    2,674
Gross margin %           58%             58%             57%            59%
Profit before Tax            688              482            1,286           1,269
Occupancy Rates              95%              97%             95%             93%

These KPl's are reviewed on a regular basis to assess whether expectations are met.

Going Concern
 
The directors are confident that the company has adequate resources to continue operating as it currently does as well as being able to invest in the long-term future of the business. For this reason, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' report 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 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 for the company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

make judgments 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 to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006They 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.

Results and dividends

The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £382,855 (2024 - £262,643).

No dividends were paid in the year (2024 - £Nil).

The directors who served during the year were:

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Disclosure of information to auditors

Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' report is approved has confirmed that:
 
so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware, and

the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

Post balance sheet events

Subsequent to the year-end, in April 2025, a report was published by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following an inspection of one of the company’s trading care homes conducted during the financial year. The report rated the service as "Inadequate," leading to the home being placed into special measures and the imposition of an embargo by the local authority on new admissions.

Management has taken immediate steps to address the findings, including the engagement of external quality consultants and the appointment of new quality management personnel. The company is actively working to implement a comprehensive improvement plan. At the date of approval of these financial statements, the home is awaiting reinspection and the embargo is still in place. This is not expected to have a significant impact on the trading position of the company.

There have been no other significant events affecting the company since the year end.

Auditors

After the year end Barnes Roffe LLP resigned as auditors due to the transfer of its audit business and its
successor Barnes Roffe Audit Limited was appointed by the directors under s485 Companies Act 2006.
 
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PURECARE CARE SERVICES LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Purecare Care Services Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PURECARE CARE SERVICES LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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 ReportOur 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. 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 course of 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.


Opinion 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 Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


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 Directors' report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 3, 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 is 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PURECARE CARE SERVICES LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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 an Auditors' report 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.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with law and regulations, was as follows: 

• The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate
  competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws
  and regulations;
• We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussion with directors and    other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the social care sector;
• The specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial   statements or the operations of the company, are as follows;
 o Companies Act 2006
 o FRS102
 o Health and Safety legislation
 o Care Quality Commission (CQC) & associated laws and regulations
 o Employment legislation
 o Tax legislation 
• We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making    enquiries of management, reviewing board minutes and CQC correspondence and inspections reports;     and
• Laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and during the    audit as any further laws and regulation were identified. The audit team remained alert to instances of    non-compliance throughout the audit.

PURECARE CARE SERVICES LIMITED
 
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PURECARE CARE SERVICES LIMITED (CONTINUED)


We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by:

• Making enquires of management as to where they consider there was susceptibility to fraud and their    knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud; 
• Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and    regulations;
• Reviewing the financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation;
• Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies;
• Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions;
• Assessing whether judgement and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates,    including the useful economic life of intangible fixed assets were indicative of management bias; and
• Investigating the rationale behind significant transactions, or transactions that are unusual or outside the    company’s usual course of business.

The areas that we identified as being susceptible to misstatement through fraud were:

• Management bias in the estimates and judgements made;
• Management override of controls; and 
• Posting of unusual journals or transactions.

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 regulation.  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.


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 Auditors' report.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The financial statements are prepared in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

 
2.4

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.5

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

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 profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

2.6

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.


 
2.7

Intangible assets

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 Statement of comprehensive income over its useful economic life (10 years).

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.



  
2.8

Impairment of fixed assets and goodwill

Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are assessed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication that the assets are impaired. Where there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit to which the asset has been allocated) is tested for impairment.  An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s (or GCU’s) fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which they are separately identifiable cash flows (GCUs).

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.9

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.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on following bases.


Motor vehicles
-
25%
reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
-
25%
reducing balance
Office equipment
-
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 change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.10

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.

 
2.11

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.

 
2.12

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.

 
2.13

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.

Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
 
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

Pension commitments

A defined contribution pension scheme is operated for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme
are held separately from those of the group in an independently administered fund. The pension cost
charge represents contributions payable by the company to the fund and amounted to £37,040 (2023:
£29,960). Contributions totalling £1,244 (2023: £6,915) were payable to these funds at the balance sheet
date and are included in other creditors falling due within one year.


18.


Post balance sheet events

Subsequent to the year-end, in April 2025, a report was published by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following an inspection of one of the company’s care homes conducted during the financial year. The report rated the service as "Inadequate," leading to the home being placed into special measures and the imposition of an embargo by the local authority on new admissions.

Management has taken immediate steps to address the findings, including the engagement of external quality consultants and the appointment of new quality management personnel. The company is actively working to implement a comprehensive improvement plan. At the date of approval of these financial statements, the home is awaiting reinspection and the embargo is still in place. This is not expected to have a significant impact on the trading position of the company.
