The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 July 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The principal activity of the group during the year is the provision of residential and nursing care for the

elderly.

The group operated 5 care homes during the year.

On 16 October 2024, the subsidiary company Harrington Property (Bushey) Ltd was incorporated to facilitate the construction of a new care home.

On 22 October 2024, the subsidiary company S K Care Homes Limited was dissolved after having disposed of their trade and assets in 2023.

On 14 January 2025, the subsidiary company Harrington Care Homes (Aylesbury) Ltd was incorporated to facilitate the operating of a care home.

The results of the group for the year, as set out on page 9 of these financial statements, show a profit after taxation of £1,896,594 (2024: £1,081,233).

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The key risks and uncertainties for the group are outlined below.

Market risk

The market is currently under pressure regarding costs and quality standards. The group regularly monitors quality standards in all of the homes and produces detailed monthly financial information which enables them to react quickly to any issues.

Recruitment

There is an industry wide problem with a shortage of staff. The group remain proactive in their ability to recruit and retain high quality staff. Minimum wage increases and auto enrolment contributions continue to impact the group moving forward.

Financial risks

The group as a whole has outstanding bank loans. The group has a very good relationship with the bank.

Legislative and regulatory risks

The group is monitored by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and local authorities. The group has internal systems in place to monitor the standards in each of its homes to ensure compliance with the regulations.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The directors monitor the progress of the group by reference to key performance indicators. The key

performance indicators for the group are those that communicate the financial performance of the group,

being turnover and staff costs as a proportion of fee income along with other, non-financial key performance indicators, such as occupancy and CQC ratings.

Turnover has increased by 15.1% to £14,032,670 (2024: 5.7%; £12,186,988).

Staff costs as a proportion of fee income was 60.1% (2024: 61.9%).

The group is looking to acquire further care homes and there are no plans to dispose of any.

EMPLOYMENT OF DISABLED PERSONS

The group gives full consideration to applications for employment from disabled persons where the

requirements of the job can be adequately fulfilled by a handicapped or disabled person. Where existing

employees become disabled, it is the group's policy wherever practicable to provide continuing employment under normal terms and conditions and to provide training, career development and promotion to disabled employees wherever appropriate.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

During the year, the policy of providing employees with information about the group has been continued

through internal media methods in which employees have also been encouraged to present their suggestions and views on the group's performance. Regular meetings are held between local management and employees to allow a free flow of information and ideas.

DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The group is looking to acquire new homes but there are no plans to dispose of any in the immediate future. The group plans to continue its ongoing maintenance and staff training programmes to ensure the care homes maintain a high standard. The group has adequate capital reserves to fund this.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

-	select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-	make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

-	prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Botham Accounting Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

R R Dhamecha - Director

27 November 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Only Care Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 July 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

-	give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 July 2025 and of the group's profit for the year then ended;

-	have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

-	have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

-	the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

-	the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

-	adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-	the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

-	certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

-	we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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:

Based on our understanding of the Company, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to corporation tax legislation and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements.

As part of this assessment we considered both quantitative and qualitative factors. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102.

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements which included the risk of management override of controls. We determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries, omitting, advancing or delaying recognition of events and transactions that have occurred during or after the reporting period, and potential management bias in the determination of accounting estimates or judgements to manipulate results.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team include:

- Enquiring of and obtaining written representation from management and those charged with governance in relation to actual and potential litigation and claims;

- Enquiring of entity staff to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;

- Review of financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with laws and regulations;

- 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 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 Report of the Auditors.

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.

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

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

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" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The parent company satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following reduced disclosures available under FRS 102:

(a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company.

(b) No disclosure has been given for the aggregate remuneration of key management personnel.

Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 July each year.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are consolidated for the periods from or to the date on which control passed. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by the group.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable asset, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised is recorded as goodwill.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full.

Turnover

The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents residents' fees earned during the year.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on business acquisitions and represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the company's interest in the net amount of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business.

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. It is amortised over its expected useful life which is estimated to be ten years.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Land

0%

Freehold property

2% straight line

Plant and machinery

3% straight line, 10% straight line

Fixtures and fittings

10% straight line

Computer equipment

33% straight line

Motor vehicles

25% reducing balance

Land is not depreciated. The buildings held in Only Care Property (Aylesbury) Ltd and Harrington Property (Reading) Ltd are currently not being depreciated as the assets are under construction.

Government grants

Government and local authority revenue-based grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset

received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the group

will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised using the accrual model.

Grants relating to assets are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life

of the asset.

Financial instruments

Debtors and Creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, 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 group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Investments

Fixed Asset Investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

3.	CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the process of applying the group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make certain estimates, judgements and assumptions that they believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable.

Actual results may differ from the estimates, the effect of which is recognised in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.

The estimate and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next year are as follows:

Intangible assets - useful life and residual values

The charge in respect of amortisation is derived after determining an estimate of the useful life of goodwill arising on business combinations. This estimate is based on a variety of factors such as expected use of the acquired business, the expected useful life of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill is attributed , any legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that can limit the useful life and assumptions that market participants would consider in respect of similar businesses.

Tangible assets - useful life and residual values

The charge in respect of depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of the group's assets may vary depending on several factors such as, technological innovation, maintenance programmes and future market conditions. They are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed annually for appropriateness.

Impairment of fixed assets

The group reviews all categories of fixed assets annually for indicators of impairment and performs an impairment review considering any such indicators identified. Judgements are required to make an assessment as to whether there is an indication of impairment. At the year end the directors feel that the carrying value of the fixed assets is not materially different to its fair value.
