STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
The directors present their Strategic report on the affairs of Birchester Care Limited for the year ended 31 October 2025.
The principal activity of the Company is the operation of care homes with the provision of nursing and residential care. The strategy of the business is: • To provide a high quality care and service to residents of varying age and needs. • To achieve continued growth and expansion to surrounding areas to confirm our position as one of the top providers of residential care in the UK.
The turnover for the year was £7,584,951 (As restated 2024: £6,313,755). Combined with other operating income of £42,300 (2024: £36,465), this resulted in total income for the year of £7,627,251 (As restated 2024: £6,350,220).
The Company made a profit before tax of £849,485 (As restated 2024: £181,666). The strategy of the business is to provide a high quality care and service to residents of varying age and needs. To achieve continued growth and expansion to confirm our position as one of the top providers of Nursing and Residential Care in the surrounding area. With the increased pressure on living costs within the home during the year, after the refinancing at December 2023 the Company has made steady growth as shown by the profitability year on year. Although, margins and National Insurances increases have eroded throughout the whole sector nationally due to annual increases in the national living wage, inflationary pressures, plus local authority spending cuts further impacting the rates available to Health Service and Local Authority funded clients. Despite this, we continue to offer the same high level of care and service to our residents that we continually strive to provide. Although these have been challenging times, we continue to improve the qualifications, training and quality of our Nursing and the Care Staff enabling us to keep and improve the quality of care given to our clients. Thus, securing the highest level of funding available from The Care Providers ensuring financial performance can be improved upon ongoing. Within the financial year the Company had reduced its debt level, increased profitability and turnover. From the perspective of the Directors, they feel that within the year the Company was within its head room for the new facility and can fulfil its financing and regulatory obligations. This is shown on an ongoing basis within the accounts.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
Market risk:
The market is subjected to increasing pressure on both costs and quality, however, we feel we are in a good position to be able to increase our turnover as we are able to continually differentiate ourselves from some of the smaller providers within our market sector. The level of fees being paid by funded residents is directly correlated to the pressure exerted by the level of Government and Local Authority spending. Both of which have continued in a downwards trend. The narrow margins for funded residents has been offset by privately funded individuals. The Company ascertains to reduce its financial risk through the application of stringent financial controls and reporting. Legislative and regulatory risk: The increasing regulatory and legislative pressures has meant we have identified the requirement to have more formal accreditations of our operating and quality systems. We are committed to ensure we are in a position to provide high quality levels of care on a consistent basis. We have invested in our internal clinical governance procedures to monitor our care provisions. Labour & recruitment: From a customer perspective all of our turnover is achieved within the United Kingdom. However, in common with many other UK businesses we do have a reliance on overseas labour. The availability of labour is always a risk, however, we have remained proactive in our ability to recruit and retain high quality staff. Actions of competitors: There have always been new entrants into our market place offering the same service for apparently less money. We don’t feel that future years will be any different to the past and feel confident that with our strong delivery network that we are in a good place to maintain our position within the market sector.
We utilise a range of measures to control the business, the key ones are as below:
We also utilise a regular programme of performance indicators applicable to targets set for each financial and non-financial performance measures which are closely monitored by the Board. We believe all these indicators provide a good basis for control and look forward to all the measures improving in the coming year as a result of initiatives implemented by the Directors.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

BIRCHESTER CARE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BIRCHESTER CARE LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Birchester Care Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 October 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, 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 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 AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BIRCHESTER CARE LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's 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. 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.
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.
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.

BIRCHESTER CARE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BIRCHESTER CARE LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Auditor's 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:
• Enquiry of management around actual and potential litigation and claims; • Enquiry of staff to identify any instances of non-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 and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; • Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; • Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
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 Auditor's Report.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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 other creditors as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
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 profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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:
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.
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Basic financial liabilities
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 the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

19.Deferred taxation (continued)
Profit and loss account
A correction has been made to the financial statements to restate the prior year figures, reflecting adjustments for rent expenditure, VAT on sales and taxation.
As a result of these adjustments, creditors falling due within one year have increased from £7,800,281 to £7,850,082, and debtors have decreased from £876,600 to £835,946. Turnover has decreased from £6,384,561 to £6,313,755 and administration expenses have increased from £1,245,551 to £1,295,352. The taxation charge for the year ended 31 October 2024 (see note 11) has been revised from a charge of £7,817 to a taxation credit of £22,335. Consequently, profit after tax for that year has decreased from £294,456 to £204,001. The adjustment has also reduced the opening profit and loss reserve as at 1 November 2024 from £1,119,218 to £1,108,763 (see the Statement of Changes in Equity on page 11).
