GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2021 |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the group is the provision of healthcare services including domiciliary care, nursing/residential homes and specialist care facilities. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Partnerships with Health and Social Care Trusts |
The Health and Social Care Trusts in Northern Ireland rely on the private sector to provide nursing, residential and specialist care. The group, in turn, relies on the Trusts to place residents into its care, however as with all other public bodies, they are under pressure to reduce their costs which could have an impact on the group. |
Availability of quality nursing staff |
The group relies on the provision of well trained staff being available, especially from the nursing sector. At present there is a shortage of nurses within the UK and as such nursing costs are expected to continue to rise. |
Covid-19 |
The Director's are conscious that the impact of Covid-19 may continue to pose a risk to operations. They have continued to manage the company very closely, including revising forecasts and budgets for the next 12 months. The Directors will continue to ensure Covid safe working practices are in place and adhered to. At the forefront of the Covid-19 policy is the well-being of our staff, patients and their families. We have invested in various measures to ensure that patients can safely see their family, whilst adhering to all necessary social distancing measures. |
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
The group uses the following key performance indicators to monitor the performance of the business. |
2021 | 2020 |
Turnover | 12,645,032 | 12,542,839 |
Operating profit | 366,311 | 599,572 |
Pre tax profit | 80,125 | 254,119 |
The directors are satisfied with the results for the year and believe the group is in a strong position to continue its performance. |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
The directors have no plans to change the operations of the group for the foreseeable future and will look to increase profits in the coming year as the business emerges from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
CORRIEWOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: NI639214) |
DIRECTORS' REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2021 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 30 November 2021. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the group is the provision of healthcare services including domiciliary care, nursing/residential homes and specialist care facilities. |
DIVIDENDS |
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 30 November 2021. |
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 December 2020 to the date of this report. |
Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
EMPLOYMENT OF DISABLED PERSONS |
The group gives full consideration to applications for employment from disabled persons where the requirements of the job can be adequately fulfilled. Where existing employees become disabled, it is the group's policy wherever practicable to provide continuing employment under normal terms and conditions and to provide training and career development and promotion to disabled employees wherever appropriate. |
EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT |
During the year, the policy of providing employees with information about the group has continued to be through internal communication methods. |
EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD |
No post balance sheet events require disclosure in the financial statements |
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES |
The group's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include the effects of changes in credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The group has in place a risk management programme that seeks to limit the adverse effects on the financial performance of the group by monitoring levels of debt finance and the related finance costs. |
Given the size of the group, the directors have not delegated the responsibility of monitoring financial risk management to a sub-committee of the board. The policies set by the director are implemented by the group's finance department. |
INTEREST RATE RISK |
The group has both interest bearing assets and interest bearing liabilities, which bear interest at variable rates. The director will revisit the appropriateness of this policy should the group's operations change in size or nature. |
CREDIT RISK |
The group has no significant concentrations of credit risk and amounts shown in the balance sheet best represent the maximum credit risk exposure. |
LIQUIDITY RISK |
The group actively manages cash flows to ensure the group has sufficient available funds for operations and planned expansions. |

DIRECTORS' REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2021 |
DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), 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 the Group 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 then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements 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 and the Group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group 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 Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the Group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that she ought to have taken as a director in order to make herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Group's auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, CavanaghKelly, have indicated their willingness to continue in office in accordance with the provision of Section 485 of the Companies Act 2006. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF |
CORRIEWOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Corriewood Holdings Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 30 November 2021 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, 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 of the Parent Company affairs as at 30 November 2021 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 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 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 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 and 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. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report, but does not include the financial statements and our Auditors' 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. |
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 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. |
Opinions 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 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. |
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF |
CORRIEWOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED |
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 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. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page four, 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 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. |
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF |
CORRIEWOOD HOLDINGS LIMITED |
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 financial statements. |
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, |
including fraud |
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud are to assess the risk of material misstatement due to fraud, design and implement appropriate responses to those assessed risks and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the course of our audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with management and those charged with governance of the company. |
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
- |
We obtained understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the company’s financial statements and considered the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, Financial Reporting Standards (FRS102) and UK taxation legislation; |
- |
We have assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance; |
- |
We enquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
- |
Understanding the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; and |
- |
Discussions amongst the audit engagement team regarding how fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As part of this discussion we identified the following potential areas where fraud may occur: timing of revenue recognition and management override. |
The audit response to risks identified included: |
- |
Reviewing the financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with the relevant laws and regulations above; |
- |
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risk of material misstatement due to fraud; |
- |
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are reasonable and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
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. |

Revenue |
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company 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. |
Provision of services: |
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: |
- the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
- it is probable that future economic benefits will flow through the company |
- the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably |
Goodwill |
Goodwill arises on business acquisitions and represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the company's interest in the net amount of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business. |
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. It is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Where a reliable estimate of the useful life of goodwill or intangible assets cannot be made, the life is presumed not to exceed ten years. |
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value over the useful life of that asset as follows: |
Goodwill | 10% straight line |
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows: |
Freehold Property | 2 - 5% Straight line |
Plant and Machinery | 10 - 20% Reducing balance |
Fixtures, fittings and equipment | 10 - 25% Reducing balance |
Motor vehicles | 10 - 25% Reducing balance |
Equipment | 10 - 33% Reducing balance |
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed annually for impairment in periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. |

Government grants |
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. |
Government grants are recognised using the accrual model and the performance model. |
Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable. |
Grants relating to assets are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income and not deducted from the carrying amount of the asset. |
Under the performance model, where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognsied in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable, Where the grant does impose specified future performance related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability. |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. |

Financial instruments |
The group have chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
(i) Financial assets |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances and amounts owed by related parties and are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
If there is decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss. |
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. |
(ii) Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans and overdrafts and amounts owed to related parties are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. |
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. |
(iii) Offsetting |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and 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. |

Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Finance leases and hire purchase contracts |
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the net assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any intial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. |
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Share capital |
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new |
ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. |
Preference Share Capital |
Preference share capital is presented as debt. Preference shares carry an entitlement to a fixed cumulative preference dividend at an annual rate of 4% of their nominal value. |
4. | Turnover |
The turnover and profit before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the Group. |
