Strategic Report
Year Ended 30 September 2025
The Directors present their report for the year ended 30 September 2025.
The Kingsley Healthcare Group ("Kingsley") can be defined as the ten operating groups headed by the following companies: Peacock Holdings (2015) Limited; KCH (UK) Holdings Limited; Regal Healthcare Holdings Limited; Althea Healthcare (Holdings) Limited; Timperley Holdings Limited; Hestia Healthcare Holdings Limited; Partington Healthcare Holdings Limited; Kingsley Healthcare (OLH) Limited; Kingsley Healthcare (Bournemouth Property) Limited and Kingsley (KMT) Limited. All of these operating groups under the Kingsley umbrella are affected by similar factors and, therefore, the same strategies, which are covered in this Strategic Report, apply to each of them. For the purpose of these specific financial statements, meanwhile, references to the "Group" will refer to the Kingsley (KMT) Limited operating group whilst references to the "Company" will refer to Kingsley (KMT) Limited itself.
Kingsley Healthcare
Kingsley, a nationally recognised, family-run provider of residential, nursing and specialist care, proudly reports a year of strong performance, disciplined expansion and continued organisational maturity. Kingsley has sustained high occupancy and further strengthened its position as one of the UK’s leading family-owned care providers. Alongside this operational progress, Kingsley has expanded its service footprint, invested significantly in its people, leadership and digital infrastructure, and continued to elevate the quality and consistency of the resident experience.
As the UK’s first and only large care operator to achieve B Corp certification and having been named Residential Adult Care Provider of the Year (Large Group) at the Healthcare Investor Awards for a second consecutive year, we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering high-quality, person-centred care and driving meaningful social and environmental impact across our operations.
Strategic Focus and Business Performance
The Group’s strategy centres on harnessing the strength of its balance sheet and the depth of its talent to drive both organic and inorganic growth. Kingsley now operates 47 care services across the United Kingdom and Jersey, with a further four acquisitions/ new care services starting operations since the year end. Mature homes within the portfolio continue to deliver strong revenue growth and profitability, with overall trading performance aligned to expectations.
Occupancy across the mature portfolio has reached a sustained level, reflecting confidence in the quality and consistency of Kingsley’s services.
Significant cash generation during the period enabled the Group to further strengthen our continuing partnerships with our banking partners. The resulting structure provides an effective balance of term funding and revolving capital, supporting both investment agility and financial resilience. These developments reaffirm the Group’s long-term commitment to creating value for all stakeholders.

Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility
Kingsley’s position as the first and only B Corp certified operator of its scale in the UK care sector marks a defining milestone in our sustainability journey, achieved following a rigorous three-year evaluation. Sustainability is embedded across all areas of the Group’s service delivery, with a focus on community wellbeing, environmental stewardship and responsible governance.
During the year, solar panel arrays were installed at seven new locations, generating significant amounts of clean energy and avoiding reliance from the grid. The Group continues to invest in renewable energy systems, high-efficiency lighting, movement-sensitive controls and biomass solutions across the portfolio. Each home actively tracks and measures its environmental footprint through Environmental Champions, enabling continuous improvement underpinned by transparency and accountability.
Kingsley’s commitment extends into community, education and global responsibility through Kingsley Philanthropy, supporting education programmes, scholarships and community development in Sri Lanka, Colombia and the United Kingdom and new partnership with Kings Trust. We are proud to be a delivery partner supporting training and employment programmes enabling people to gain employment opportunities in the sector, specifically in Liverpool and Greater Manchester. These efforts reflect the belief that care does not end at the boundaries of our homes and a business can be a good influence for the wider society.
People and Culture
Our people remain at the heart of the Group’s success. The Group is proud to be a Real Living Wage employer and among the highest payers across the regions in which it operates, and its commitment to the Real Living Wage remains unwavering. The Kingsley Academy continues to expand its offering, supported by a dedicated team of Learning and Development Managers and a digital learning platform.
Many of Kingsley’s home managers and regional leaders have progressed internally through structured pathways, reflecting a culture of opportunity, belonging and long-term career development. Independent platforms such as Glassdoor and Indeed consistently rank Kingsley as one of the top employers in healthcare for workplace wellbeing, with ratings of 4.7 and 4.5 respectively.
Kingsley has increased its use of social media as a platform to showcase the care and community engagement within its homes, achieving post-engagement rates significantly above the industry average. This not only bolsters staff recognition and morale but also strengthens the employer brand and helps families stay connected with daily life within the Group’s services.

Fair review of the business
When analysing Kingsley (KMT) Limited's trading results for the financial year to 30 September 2025, the Group's board is pleased with its performance when compared to previous years.
Group turnover for the year was £16.2m. In comparison to the revenue results achieved last year, the Group has seen a healthy increase of £4.4m or 37.5%. The incremental revenue uplift can be attributed to increased occupancy in our mature homes and the achievement of higher average weekly fees.
Average occupancy across the Group's homes during the year was 65% (2024: 70%). The decrease in occupancy reflects the Group taking on new homes weighing on the overall average as these newly acquired services build their resident numbers towards maturity.
Group EBITDA for the year was £2,457,319 (2024: £1,195,731). The Net Loss Before Tax, meanwhile, narrowed to £2,317,273 (2024: loss of £2,372,518). The uplift in EBITDA reflects the £4.4m increase in Group turnover combined with improved efficiencies achieved through tighter cost control across the operating subsidiaries. Net Profit Before Tax remained in deficit, however, reflecting the elevated depreciation and finance costs associated with the Group's expanded property portfolio. In light of this, the directors believe the Group's performance for the year was highly positive, particularly when viewed against the challenging economic backdrop.
We have seen improved cashflow generation, especially from the mature homes, which has enabled us to continually invest in our portfolio and also to explore inorganic opportunities. The Group remains financially agile with a strong balance sheet, which is a very good position to be in. The strength of the Group has also been consistently underpinned by the shareholders and has drawn further support from our bankers.
The Group's Fixed Assets amount to £46.8m whilst Net Debt totals £53.4m.
This places the Group in a very strong position within its industry.
Key performance indicators
In keeping with previous year-end reporting, the Group has measured its success during the 2025 financial year against four key performance indicators, centred on occupancy, turnover, EBITDA and net profit before tax.

Section 172(1) Statement
The Directors of the Company and Group are required to act in accordance with the duties prescribed under Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006, which demands they should carry out their duties in a way they consider, in good faith, to be most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole while having regard to the interests of the Company’s other stakeholders. The Company includes among its other primary stakeholders its staff, its service users and their families, its suppliers, its financing partners, the relevant industry regulators and the communities the Company serves. It is these parties that either impact the Group’s strategy materially or are themselves impacted by it directly. As a responsible business building long-term shareholder value, we listen to our stakeholders regularly to help us guide our strategy and to ensure we continue to operate in a way that delivers the best care we are able to provide to our residents.
Section 172 requires each director of a company, when making decisions regarding the likes of the Company’s trading strategy and operational objectives, to ensure that such decisions are made considering the possible long-term consequences associated with them. In pursuit of the realisation of its growth strategy during the year, the Board has regularly monitored progress against its targets and modified its ambitions to ensure predicted outcomes result in the ongoing sustainability of the business. The Board of the Company consistently maintains a long-term outlook in relation to its future activities through many different aspects of the business, whether it is the investment in current and future facilities, staff recruitment and retention or compliance and risk management; the Group has ensured the long-term effect is incorporated with every decision.
The Board receives regular information and analysis that enables it to take account of the likely consequences of its decisions in the long term and the interests of its stakeholders. This includes monthly financial and operational reporting, quality and compliance dashboards, colleague engagement insights, resident and family feedback, commissioner and regulator updates, and reports from the Group’s ESG, sustainability programmes, risk and treasury discussion forums. Board papers for significant matters include an explicit assessment of stakeholder impacts and Section 172 considerations.
The Board recognises the importance of the responsibilities incumbent upon it under Section 172 and believes it has made all material decisions during the course of the year in a manner that reflects its proper consideration of these duties. In doing so, the Board has consistently behaved responsibly towards its shareholders to ensure they are treated fairly and equally.
The Company maintains open and regular communication with its financing partners, providing detailed management accounts and long-term financial models to ensure transparency and alignment.
The Company places utmost importance on the dignity, independence and well-being of its service users. Central to all Company endeavours are the quality of daily experiences for these stakeholders. The Directors emphasise the crucial role of maintaining good governance across the organisation’s activities, ensuring consistency for all involved parties. Engagement with residents and families takes place regularly at home level through resident and relative meetings, personalised care planning, digital family apps, the Call Navigation Centre and independent care review platforms.
We have actively managed inflation-linked cost increases through strategic procurement partnerships, stronger supplier governance and more targeted use of discretionary expenditure. The Board considers the need to foster fair, long-term and responsible business relationships with suppliers, including payment practices and supply chain sustainability, when taking decisions on procurement strategy and supplier selection. As supply chain pressures continue into the new financial year, we remain committed to strengthening these invaluable relationships.

Strategic Report
Year Ended 30 September 2025
Understanding that our homes are often central to their communities, the Group takes its responsibilities seriously. Our senior leadership team actively champions initiatives that support the well-being of the towns and villages we serve. Beyond our dedication to responsible energy management and efficiency, we have expanded our efforts with new community-focused initiatives across our locations, including our Kingsley Philanthropy programmes supporting education and development in Sri Lanka, Colombia and the United Kingdom, and our partnership with The King’s Trust delivering training and employment programmes in Liverpool and Greater Manchester.
The Group’s people are at the heart of everything it does. The Company deeply values each colleague’s contribution to upholding the Group’s values and driving its success. To reflect this commitment, the Group has conducted a thorough review of its benefits package, ensuring it remains a leading employer in adult social care across its home locations. The Board engages with colleagues through regular home visits by senior leaders, colleague forums, pulse surveys, the Group’s learning and development academy, recognition schemes and published employer ratings, and uses this insight to inform decisions on pay, training, wellbeing and progression.
In 2025, the Group reaffirmed its commitment as a Real Living Wage employer. We believe that fair pay not only acknowledges our employees’ dedication but also strengthens retention and attracts top talent. In an industry where rising living costs and workforce shortages present challenges, it is crucial to demonstrate our unwavering support for our team. Beyond ensuring the Real Living Wage as a baseline, we provide additional resources, including financial guidance, well-being programmes, mental health support, and nutrition counselling, ensuring our people feel valued, supported and empowered.
The Group proactively continues to invest in new platforms to support its staff with their career and personal progression. The successful embedding of Workday, our comprehensive financial accounting and reporting system, has delivered faster, more streamlined processes that enable our leadership team to focus on delivering innovative care. In implementing Workday, Kingsley prioritised structured engagement with the colleagues most affected by the change. Surveys issued to home administrators following the go-live of the procurement and expenses modules identified specific areas of friction in approval workflows and the mobile expenses experience. In response, approval hierarchies were simplified, additional guidance text boxes and video tutorials on our home page were introduced, and the month-end close calendar was adjusted to ease pressure on home teams.
With integrated AI and machine learning capabilities, these systems offer data-driven insights that help the Group further enhance its efficiency and service quality. We have also commenced a significant programme of investment in automation, digital systems, AI and workflow intelligence, which we will continue to scale in the upcoming financial year.
As a leading national provider of residential, nursing and specialist care services, we have an inherent duty to be a dependable support system for those who rely on us: our residents, colleagues and partners alike. We take this responsibility seriously and our stakeholder management approach is built on fostering strong, mutually beneficial relationships grounded in integrity, compassion and kindness.
We are pleased that the financial year ending 30 September 2025 has been tremendously positive, marked by our continued commitment to delivering exceptional care while advancing the aspirations of our stakeholders. The Board remains focused on making strategic, long-term investment decisions that prioritise the well-being of all those we serve.

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)
As noted above, achieving B Corp certification represents a key milestone in our sustainability journey. As the first and only large care home operator to hold this accreditation, we have integrated sustainability across all aspects of our service delivery framework, with a focus on community wellbeing, environmental responsibility and strong governance. As discussed above, during the year, we installed solar panel arrays at seven new locations and continued to expand our use of renewable energy systems, high-efficiency lighting and biomass solutions across the portfolio.
Principal risks and uncertainties
Sector and Market Risk
The UK care sector continues to experience strong demand driven by demographic trends, particularly the growth in the population aged 85 and over, which is projected to grow by over 40% in the next two decades. Net care-bed supply remains broadly flat, with closures offsetting new builds. While capacity constraints persist across the sector, Kingsley’s investment in its portfolio, its development pipeline and its disciplined approach to acquisitions position the Group well to meet future demand.
Operational and Regulatory Risk
The industry and the Group operate within a highly regulated environment, overseen by the Care Quality Commission in England, the Care Inspectorate in Scotland and equivalent authorities in Wales and Jersey. Robust governance, clinical quality systems, proactive engagement with regulators, and continuous investment in digital care platforms mitigate these risks.
People Risk
Workforce availability remains a sector-wide challenge, further impacted by changes to UK immigration policy affecting the Health and Care Worker visa route. Kingsley mitigates this through competitive pay (including Real Living Wage accreditation), retention-focused culture programmes, the Kingsley Academy, and targeted domestic recruitment pipelines including the partnership with The King’s Trust.
Financial and Funding Risk
The Group maintains strong relationships with its banking partners and actively manages interest rate exposure and funding structures. The Board monitors liquidity, covenant headroom and capital expenditure commitments as part of its regular review cycle.
Technology and Cyber Risk
Increased investment in digital systems, cloud-based care records and connected devices brings associated risks, including cyber-attack, data breach and operational disruption. These are mitigated through a layered cybersecurity programme, ongoing staff awareness training, multi-factor authentication, penetration testing, data governance controls and continuing alignment with the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit and UK GDPR.

Strategic Report
Year Ended 30 September 2025
Climate and Environmental Risk
The Group recognises the physical and transition risks associated with climate change, including energy cost volatility, extreme weather events affecting homes and residents, and evolving regulatory expectations. These risks are mitigated through investment in renewable energy, improved building fabric, Environmental Champions in every home, and integration of climate considerations into the Group’s investment and development decisions.
Going Concern
The Directors have reviewed the Group’s forecasts, cash flow projections, covenant headroom and financial plans, including sensitivity analysis on key assumptions such as occupancy, fee rates, cost inflation and interest rates. Having considered the Group’s liquidity, committed facilities, trading trajectory and the continued support of its banking partners and shareholders, the Directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient resources to continue operating for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the group is that of a property holding company.

Directors' Report
Year Ended 30 September 2025
The directors present their report and the for the year ended 30 September 2025.
Directors of the group
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Financial Instruments
Objectives & Policies
The Directors make use of a range of financial resources to further the operation and development of the Group’s business. Secured senior debt facilities are provided by three well established and highly regarded banks. The Group continues to believe that its working partnership with these institutions appropriately diversifies its counterparty risk and the failure of one or other of the Group’s banking partners is deemed to be very unlikely.
The Group’s capital expenditure and working capital requirements are funded by a blend of secured term loans, revolving credit facilities and overdraft facilities, which are secured against the Group’s property assets. The Directors monitor debt servicing capability and covenant compliance on an ongoing basis, utilising three-year financial forecasts to ensure adequacy in these areas.
Certain of the Group’s future development projects, including several that have been recently initiated, will feature funding arrangements with a prominent real estate investment trust that specialises in providing sustainable support for operators in the healthcare sector. The Directors recognise that it is largely down to the financial strength and historic performance of the Group that it has been able to maintain a strong negotiating position in this context. They are also confident that the Group’s relationship with its funding partners continues to be stable and productive.
Future Developments
This area of the Group’s activities has been analysed in some detail within the body of the Strategic Report, which can be found above.
Employees and Employee Engagement
The Group gives full and fair consideration to applications for employment received from both able-bodied and disabled persons, with due regard being given to the personal abilities and aptitudes of each applicant. Disabled employees are afforded equal opportunities to advance their careers and their efforts to succeed further are properly recognised where applicable.
The Group makes every effort to ensure its employees are kept informed as to the Company’s activities in a timely manner and it encourages open discussions between employees and the management team.
Kingsley (KMT) Limited
Directors' Report
Year Ended 30 September 2025
The Strategic Report above contains a Section 172 statement that elaborates on the activities undertaken by the Group during the year to promote the interests of its employees.
Business Relationships
The Directors are acutely aware that the Company will be best placed to maximise its profitability and efficiency if it nurtures healthy and long-term relationships with its key business partners, including its service users, suppliers and providers of finance. Accordingly, principal decisions taken by the Company during the year have been agreed after due consideration of the wider interests of the Company’s stakeholders. Detailed comment concerning the fostering of the Company’s business relationships is included in the Section 172 statement forming part of the Strategic Report at Page 5.
Disclosure Requirements
In accordance with Section 414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006, the Directors have chosen to include certain disclosures in the Strategic Report that would otherwise be required in the Directors’ Report. These include:
|
• |
An indication of the Company’s future developments. |
|
• |
Information on the Company’s engagement with employees and stakeholders. |
|
• |
Details of the Company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives, including its B Corp certification. |
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)
In accordance with the regulations introduced during 2018, the Group is identified as being large.

subsidiaries within the Group breach the large company threshold in their own right. Further, the
parent company of the Group does not purchase or consume >40MWh of energy per annum.
Accordingly, no separate SECR analysis is required to be included in this Directors’ Report.
Disclosure of information to the auditor
Each director has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information. The directors confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditor is unaware.
Reappointment of auditors
The auditors PKF Francis Clark are deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual 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 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 group and the company 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 apply them consistently; |
|
• |
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
|
• |
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and |
|
• |
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 group's and the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and 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 group and the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Kingsley (KMT) Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Kingsley (KMT) Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Kingsley (KMT) Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 September 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, 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 the parent company's affairs as at 30 September 2025 and of the group's loss 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 auditor 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 director's 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 and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were 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 included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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.
Kingsley (KMT) Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Kingsley (KMT) Limited
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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 matter 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
|
• |
the Strategic Report and 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 our 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 and the Directors' Report.
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. |
Kingsley (KMT) Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Kingsley (KMT) Limited
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page 11, 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 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.
Auditor’s 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 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:
Kingsley (KMT) Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Kingsley (KMT) Limited
As part of our audit planning, through discussions with management, we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the group and the sector in which it operates to identify the key laws and regulations affecting the group.
The group operates in the health and adult social care sector which is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The regulator sets out a constantly evolving list of regulations that all care homes must follow such as compliance with keys laws and regulations including Health and Safety, Manual Handling and Food Hygiene regulations. CQC carry out routine inspections to ensure care homes are following these regulations and have the power to bring legal proceedings against any home that does not comply.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements, primarily the Companies Act 2006, the reporting framework (FRS 102), and relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK.
We discussed with management how compliance with these laws and regulations is monitored and we discussed the policies and procedures in place. We also identified the individuals who have responsibility for ensuring that the entity complies with laws and regulations and deals with reporting any issues if they arise. As part of our planning procedures, we assessed the risk of any non-compliance with laws and regulations on the group's ability to continue trading and the risk of
material misstatement to the accounts.
Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved the following:
- Enquiries of management and those charged with governance regarding their knowledge of any non-compliance with laws and regulations that could affect the financial statements;
- Review of latest CQC reports;
- Review of correspondence with CQC;
- Review of legal costs and associated correspondence; and
- Review of the homes Food Hygiene rating.
As part of our enquiries, we discussed with management whether there have been any known instances, allegations or suspicions of fraud, of which there were none.
We also evaluated the risk of fraud through management override including that arising from management's incentives. The key risk we identified was fraudulent financial reporting to meet the companies bank loan covenants.
In response to the identified risk, as part of our audit work we:
- Used data analytics to test journal entries throughout the year and year end adjustments, for appropriateness;
- Reviewed estimates and judgements made in the accounts for any indication of bias and challenged assumptions made by management in making estimates; and
- Reviewed the basis of costs recharged between group companies, making sure that there is a clear justification. We challenged management and assessed the reasonableness of all recharges.
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. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate omissions, collusion, forgery, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are also less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements.

General information |
The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales.
The address of its registered office is:

Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. There are no material departures from FRS 102.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 September 2025.
As a consolidated profit and loss account is published, a separate profit and loss account for the parent company is omitted from the group financial statements by virtue of section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
Kingsley (KMT) Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 30 September 2025
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Profit and Loss Account from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the group.
The purchase 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 and 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 assets, 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.
Summary of disclosure exemptions
FRS 102 grants a qualifying entity exemptions from the full requirements of FRS 102. The following exemptions have been taken in these financial statements as the company is deemed to be a qualifying entity:
The company has taken advantage of the exemption, under FRS 102 paragraph 1.12(b), from preparing a Statement of Cash Flows on the basis that it is a qualifying entity and its cash flows are included in the consolidated financial statements of the group. The company is also taking exemption
from disclosure of key management personnel compensation and exemption from disclosure of related party transactions entered into between the company and other members of the Kingsley (KMT) group.
Going concern
At the year end, the group had net current liabilities of £1,711,710 (2024 - £430,544), excluding amounts owed from group and connected companies falling due after more than one year, and total net liabilities of £6,647,161 (2024 - £2,808,279).
The directors believe that, with the support of the wider Kingsley group and its directors, the group has sufficient working capital to continue trading for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
Kingsley (KMT) Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 30 September 2025
Key accounting judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the group's accounting policies management is required to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 if the revision
affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both
current and future periods.
The key judgements that have a significant impact on the financial statements are described below:
Leasehold land and buildings
There is an element of judgment involved in the accounting treatment of the leasehold land and buildings. Management determined that the lease meets the definition of a finance lease under FRS 102 and should therefore be recognised in the financial statements as both an asset and a corresponding finance lease liability. In assessing the fair value of the leasehold property, and consequently the lease liability, management concluded that the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeded the fair value of the leasehold property. As a result, the fair value of the leasehold property was used as the basis for recognition in the accounts. Carrying value of leasehold land and buildings at year end is £46,093,252 (2024 - £29,566,337).
The key estimates that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below:
Group and connected company recharges
Cost re-allocations are required in order to fairly reflect the cost of management services borne by
group companies and entities under common control. These are based on judgemental estimates of
the proportion of management time spent in areas of the business which are different from where the
payroll cost is originally processed, and where joint contracts of employment are in place. The
carrying value of amounts owed to/from group companies and entities under common control can be
found in note 16 and 18.
Intercompany loan interest
The business trades as part of a group. In addition to recharges of central costs and other trading
settlements, management charges are raised to reflect the cost of funding arranged at a group level.
Significant balances with group and other connected parties arise, these balances are due after more
than one year. The lending group charges interest on these loans using a market rate for an
equivalent third party loan. The carrying value of amounts owed to/from group companies and entities
under common control can be found in note 16 and 18.
Finance lease liability
The finance liability in note 19 of £51,147,296 (2024 - £33,346,193) is calculated based on discounting future minimum lease payments over the term of lease using the company's obtainable borrowing rate. A finance charge is then accounted for to unwind this discount each year.
Management are required to make estimates as to the outflow of economic benefits which will be required to settle an obligation in making provisions.
Kingsley (KMT) Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 30 September 2025
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the group’s activities.
Income relates to monies received for the provision of care home services and is recognised on a straight line basis over the period of residence.
Government grants
COVID-19 related grants do not have any imposed specified future performance-related conditions on the company, and therefore are recognised when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. The grant agreements do include specific criteria on what these funds can be spent on and therefore spending is monitored closely by management.
Tax
Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current corporation 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 group operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the balance sheet date unless indicated below. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and the results as stated in the consolidated profit and loss account and other comprehensive income. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
|
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
|
Freehold land |
Not depreciated |
|
Freehold property |
2% straight line |
|
Leasehold property |
Over the life of the lease |
|
Furniture, fittings and equipment |
20-100% straight line |

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 30 September 2025
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less subsequent accumulated amortisation.
Costs include software development expenditure.
Amortisation
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:
|
Asset class |
Amortisation method and rate |
|
Software |
20% straight line |
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost
is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised at the lower of their fair value at inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments. These assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs in the profit and loss account and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments
Classification
• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Loans with entities under common control and groups; and
• Cash and bank balances.
All financial instruments are classified as basic.
Recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.
Except for loans with entities under common control and groups, such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
Loans with entities under common control and groups are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
