GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The directors present their strategic report for the period ended 30 September 2025.
The Company is a holding company with an indirect investment in the Balhousie Care Group.
The principal activity of the Group is the provision of care services including personal care for frail, elderly, nursing care, dementia care, learning disability support, mental health care, support and care for physically disabled adults, palliative care and Huntington’s care.
The Group recorded a loss before tax of £4,838k (2024 - £2,386k).
A more detailed analysis of the performance of the Group is provided in the Business Review below.
In September 2022 the entire share capital of Balhousie Holdings Limited was acquired by Selba Care Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group.
The Balhousie Care Group experienced a 6.6% increase in turnover from 2024, largely reflecting increased fee rates. Recruitment and retention of staff remain critical to the delivery of quality care, and the care sector as a whole continues to face challenges attracting and retaining high quality staff. Increases to staff wages has put pressure on margins. Steps to mitigate agency use that were implemented in prior years have resulted in agency costs decreasing in the period. Administration costs are closely monitored, however we are seeing price increases across all of our supplies.
The Group has assessed their KPIs as:
• Occupancy Rates • Average Fee Income per bed • Care Quality Grades • EBITDA % of Turnover • Wages & Salaries % of Income • Staff Turnover In relation to KPIs, the Group is performing at or above regional sector averages when benchmarked to the sector.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The directors are responsible for risk assessment and management within the group. The main risks associated with the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are set out below:
Financial Risks The Group holds bank and other loans and is therefore exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The Group aims to mitigate risk by managing cash generated by its operations and has a hedge in place. The provision of loans to the Group is subject to compliance with financial covenants. Should financial performance deteriorate, the breach of covenants may have a material impact on the continued availability of loan facilities. Covenant compliance is monitored on a monthly basis. The Group’s credit risk is managed by invoicing private residents in advance and ensuring that all sales invoices are raised timeously. Appropriate credit control procedures are followed for all operations. Credit risk is also reduced by being in the advantageous position of having a significant level of income generated through local government across a variety of local authorities. Operational risks The Group’s services are regulated by the Care Inspectorate which has significant enforcement powers against operators who do not comply with statutory requirements. Operational risk is managed by care home managers and the Group’s Operational Support Team. This is monitored internally by management, internal quality controls and externally by regular unannounced inspections by the Care Inspectorate.
The Group operates Care Governance and Audit & Remuneration Committees that provide oversight on key care quality, remuneration and audit issues impacting on the business.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The Board consider, both individually and together, that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in s172(1)(a-f) of the Act) in the decisions taken during the year.
In doing so, section 172 requires a director to have regard, amongst other matters, to: a) The likely consequences of any decision in the long term, b) The interests of the Group’s employees, c) The need to foster the Group’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others, d) The impact of the Group’s operations on the community and the environment, e) The desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct, and f) The need to act fairly as between members of the Company Consequences of decisions The Board promotes a strong culture of governance and has installed, and continues to monitor, key performance indicators to increase the operational and financial performance of the Group. Engagement with employees The Group places a strong emphasis on ensuring the wellbeing of our employees and looks to share and communicate information to our staff using all possible means. This involves regular in house communications, staff meetings as well as monthly managers’ meetings and is designed to ensure that all staff are kept reasonably informed on all Group matters. The staff newsletter, “The Balhousie Buzz”, is a fortnightly publication, which is used as a communication tool, and a means of promoting the employee assistance programme and our staff benefits platform. Disabled employees Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the abilities of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled every effort is made to ensure that their employment with the Group continues and that appropriate training is arranged. It is the policy of the Group and the Company that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees.

SELBA VENTURES LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SELBA VENTURES LTD
We have audited the financial statements of Selba Ventures Ltd (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 30 September 2025, which comprise the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated analysis of net debt, the Consolidated statement of financial position, the Company statement of financial position, 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 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).
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.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's 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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SELBA VENTURES LTD (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual 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 Group 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 Group 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 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 Directors' report.

SELBA VENTURES LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SELBA VENTURES LTD (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 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:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that 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 concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and enquiries of legal counsel. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Selba Ventures Ltd is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England. The registered office is 84 Brook Street, London, W1K 5EH.
2.Accounting policies
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 balances reported in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand.
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:
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 business combinations using the purchase method. In the Statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the Group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 27 July 2022.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Goodwill
Other intangible assets
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.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.
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.
No depreciation is provided on freehold property in the current year. The directors consider that this accounting policy, which represents a departure from the statutory accounting rules is necessary to provide a true and fair view as permitted under FRS 102.
The Group has a policy and practice of regular maintenance and repairs (charges for which are recognised in the profit and loss account) such that freehold property is kept to its previously assessed standards of performance. As a result the property maintains a high residual value and any depreciation is not considered material.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Group 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 Group's Statement of financial position when the Group 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.

SELBA VENTURES LTD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value asessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. Assets are considered for indications of impairment, if required an impairment review will be carried out and a decision made on possible impairment. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit. Recoverability of debtors Bad debts are provided where, in the opinion of the directors, there is objective evidence of the need for a provision.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to the provision of care facilities for the elderly and infirm.
