STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
The principal activity of the Company continued to be that of the operation of care homes.
The coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact across the global economy and the Company, as a direct result, has experienced one of its most challenging trading environments to date. The directors took decisive actions to adapt to the challenges faced as part of the pandemic, including making the difficult decision to close the care homes to non-residents to safeguard both residents and staff members and to ensure the business continued to deliver outstanding service levels. The results for the year are a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire team and, despite the ongoing pandemic, the directors are pleased to report an increase in turnover from £2.41m to £2.60m and an increase in net assets from £4.32m to £4.56m.
Throughout its operations the Company faces various principal internal and external risks and uncertainties. The directors periodically review their exposure to risk and use this as a benchmark for making strategic decisions to mitigate exposure to all forms of risks, where practical.
Financial risks The Company, as with many organisations within the public sector, are under significant pressure to reduce costs. The directors have prudently managed cashflow and have controlled overheads to ensure the Company maintains a strong financial environment. The directors are thankful to have the ongoing financial support of the local authority revenues from which form a significant part of the company’s business. Regulatory risks The industry is regulated by care industry regulators (CQC) and periodically these regulators will carry out inspections to assess the care homes environment and compliance with health and safety regulations. The Company continues to be alert to any legislative changes introduced by the Government to ensure the business remains compliant at all times. Operational risks The Company’s key objective is to provide the highest standard of care to its residents. Staff shortages are a significant risk especially given the ongoing pandemic. The directors mitigate this risk by ensuring they maintain strong relationships with their staff and provide appropriate levels of remuneration and comprehensive training.
The Company does not discriminate against anyone on any grounds. The Company considers its key strength to be its people whom are all suitably qualified and appropriately trained.
The sole criterion for selection or promotion is the suitability of the person for the job. It is the policy of the Company to provide employment to people irrespective of sex, age, religion or disability whenever the demands of the Company and the abilities of the individual will allow. Appropriate levels of training and development are available for all levels and categories of staff.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2021.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £17,602 (2020 - £237,802).
The directors do not recomment payment of a final dividend.
The directors who served during the year were:
The directors aim to improve the management policies to maintain the Company's sustainability and growth.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HERITAGE CARE HOMES LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Heritage Care Homes Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 October 2021, which comprise the Statement of income and retained earnings, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows 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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HERITAGE CARE HOMES LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report or the Directors' report.

HERITAGE CARE HOMES LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HERITAGE CARE HOMES LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
∙The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussion with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant sector;
∙The specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, are as follows;
°Companies Act 2006.
°FRS102.
°Health and Safety legislation.
∙We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management, reviewing board minutes and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙Laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and during the audit as any further laws and regulation were identified.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by:
∙Making enquires of management as to where they consider there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud;
∙Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Reviewing the financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation;
∙Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies;
∙Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions;
∙Assessing whether judgements and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates, including stock obsolescence, depreciation and bad debt provision were indicative of management bias; and
∙Investigating the rationale behind significant transactions, or transactions that are unusual or outside the Company’s usual course of business.
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 misrepresenation.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following annual bases:
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.
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
Critical judgments in applying the entity’s accounting policies No significant judgments have had to be made by management in preparing these financial statements. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions Useful economic lives of tangible assets The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on the technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 10 for the carrying amount of the property plant and equipment, and note 2.9 for useful economic lives for each class of assets. Taxation The entity establishes provisions based on reasonable estimates. Management estimation is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets/liabilities that can be recognised, based upon likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with an assessment of the effect of future tax planning strategies. Further details are contained in note 2.8 and note 14.
