GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Introduction
 
The director presents the strategic report on the Group for the period ended 31 December 2025.

The primary activity of the Group’s subsidiary undertakings is the operation of care homes and the provision of residential, nursing, and respite care for the elderly.

Corporate Restructuring and Group Presentation
Following a detailed consideration of restructuring options for the corporate group historically headed by Arcus Capital Ltd (“ACL”), alternatives were recommended and implemented to help the group achieve its commercial objectives for its shareholders. 

Following this review, in July 2025, the group underwent a corporate restructure whereby Arcus Capital (Management) Ltd became the legal corporate group company heading the care home activities. Consequently, the responsibility for consolidated group reporting transferred to this Company.

Although this legal restructure was executed in July 2025, Arcus Capital (Management) Ltd remained inactive in an operational capacity for the remainder of the 2025 financial year. For practical and accounting purposes, the underlying operational group activities stayed with and were executed by ACL throughout the entirety of the 2025 financial year. Effective 1 January 2026, the Company formally assumed full operational direction of the care home activities. 

Principal Activities and Business review
 
The primary activity of the Group’s subsidiary undertakings is the operation of care homes and the provision of residential, nursing, and respite care for the elderly. 

The Group operates two care homes, one in Kent and one in Norfolk. 

Gross profit for the Group for the year is £3,747,333 and the gross profit margin is 44.3%. Operating profit is £2,131,976. At the Balance Sheet date, the Group had net assets of £9,922,677. The Group maintains a strong Balance Sheet position providing the financial stability to continue to provide quality care and services in the long-term. 

Operational Factors Affecting the 2025 Financial Year
Administrative expenses in 2025 include a one-off impact from the realignment of payroll processing dates across the group. This administrative alignment resulted in a 13-month payroll period being recognized within the financial year for ACL and the Norfolk care home. 

Properties
The care homes are classified as investment properties in the individual accounts of the subsidiaries because they are used by other companies within the Group for use in their operations. However, in these consolidated financial statements, the properties are considered as being held for operational purposes and no longer meet the definition of investment property. Therefore, they are reclassified as freehold property in the consolidated financial statements and valued using the income method for specialist properties.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Future Developments and Principal Risks
 
The Group continues to monitor and manage costs through efficient supply chain management. The principal risks and uncertainties affecting the Group—specifically regarding Liquidity Risk, Credit Risk, and Health and Safety—as well as the Group's Financial Key Performance Indicators are detailed below: 

Liquidity risk: The Group manages liquidity risk by budgeting and forecasting cash flows in the short to medium term and monitoring working capital positions monthly. Long-term liquidity is assured through committed funding arrangements to meet foreseeable peak borrowing requirements. 
 
Credit risk: To protect itself from credit risk, the Group has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before new accounts are accepted. 
 
Health and safety: The Group provides necessary training and resources (safety equipment and personal protective equipment) to staff to enable them to operate in a safe environment. Compliance is organized and monitored through a dedicated health and safety team across the business. Infection control remains an important and necessary part of the business mitigating risks to the residents and staff, and the Group is confident that the measures in place ensure continued safety and well-being. 

Financial key performance indicators
 
The key performance indicators of the Group are turnover, gross profit and occupancy rate. The key performance indicators for the year ended 31 December 2025 are as follows: 
Turnover: £8,464,418
Gross profit: £3,747,333
Occupancy rate: 86.7% 

Employee Involvement and Engagement
 
The Group recognizes that the care, safety, and well-being of our residents depend entirely on our staff. The Group systematically provides employees with information and training on matters of concern to them as employees. We consult regularly with staff or their representatives, so that their views can be considered in making decisions which are likely to affect their interests. Employee feedback is actively encouraged to drive operational and clinical excellence. 

Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries and reviewing detailed group cash flow forecasts for the next twelve months, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ARCUS CAPITAL (MANAGEMENT) LTD
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Arcus Capital (Management) Ltd (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the period ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Analysis of Net Debt, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the Parent Company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of the Group's profit for the period 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Conclusions relating to going concern


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the 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's or 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The director is responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

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


the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Director's Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Group Strategic Report and the Director's Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the 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 Director's Report.


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


adequate accounting records have not been kept 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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ARCUS CAPITAL (MANAGEMENT) LTD (CONTINUED)


Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has 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 an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Group financial statements.


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

Our approach was as follows:

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the parent Company and the Group and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council, and UK taxation legislation.
 
We obtained an understanding of how the parent Company and the Group complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
 
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.
 
We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.

Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.


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.

General information

Arcus Capital (Management) Ltd is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales, registration number 16589875. The registered office is C/O Larking Gowen 1st Floor Prospect House, Rouen Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR1 1RE.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling and rounded to the nearest £.

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

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of the Company and its subsidiaries using merger accounting for group reconstructions that fall outside the scope of Section 19 Business Combinations of FRS 102. Merger accounting has been applied because the transaction represents a group reorganisation in which no substantive change in the ultimate ownership of the businesses occurred.

Under merger accounting, the assets, liabilities and reserves of the combining entities are included at their existing carrying amounts, and the results of the entities are presented as if the group had been in existence throughout the entire period (or from the date the entities first came under common control, if later). No goodwill arises on the transaction; instead, any difference between the consideration given and the nominal value of the shares acquired is recorded in a merger reserve within equity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Revenue

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

Rendering of services

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

 
2.4

Interest income

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

 
2.5

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.6

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

 
2.7

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.8

Current and deferred taxation

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

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits;
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

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


 
2.9

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

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

 
2.10

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.10
Tangible fixed assets (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:

Motor vehicles
-
33%
Fixtures and fittings
-
25%
Computer equipment
-
25%

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

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

 
2.11

Revaluation of tangible fixed assets

Individual freehold and leasehold properties are carried at current year value at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date.

Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers.

Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income unless losses exceed the previously recognised gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which case the excess losses are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.12

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.13

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.14

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.15

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.16

Financial instruments

The Group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Group would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.

 
2.17

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In applying the Group’s accounting policies, the key sources of accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty are in respect of the useful life of goodwill arising on business combinations and valuation of freehold property. 

Intangibles
The useful life of the goodwill is based on a variety of factors such as the expected use of the acquired business, the expected usual life of the cash generating units to which the goodwill is attributed, any legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that can limit useful life and assumptions that market participants would consider in respect of similar businesses.

Valuation of freehold property
The director has carried out a valuation review of the freehold properties to ensure they are shown at fair value. This valuation is based upon based upon the valuation carried out previously by Knight Frank. 

Fixed asset investments
Investments in subsidiaries represent investments in unlisted Group shares held within the Company. As these shares are unlisted, the fair values of these are not readily available on an active market. As a result, the director has had to apply some judgement and estimate the fair values of these investments. The fair value has been determined in reference to a price in which a willing and knowledgeable third party would pay for the shares.
