DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
The Directors are responsible for preparing 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.
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 £202,238 (2021 - £129,194).
No dividends were paid during the year (2021 - £Nil) and the directors have not recommended a final dividend to be paid (2021 - £Nil).
The Directors who served during the year were:

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Subsequent to the year end date, economies and financial markets have continued to be affected by the global uncertainties. The Company earns income from a PFI contract with NHS Property Services Limited which matures in 2038. The Directors have assessed the impact and risk of the current market conditions on the Company and do not believe these to be material in nature. Details of the Directors' going concern assessment are included in note 2.4.
In preparing this report, the Directors have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GH STANLEY LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of GH Stanley Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 March 2022, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the 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).
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.

GH STANLEY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GH STANLEY LIMITED (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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Directors' Report has 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 Directors' Report.

GH STANLEY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GH STANLEY 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 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.
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:
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
∙Assessing the reasonableness of revenue and finance income recognised in the period based on contractual terms and obligations and the requirement of accounting standards;
∙Reviewing and challenging assumptions and judgements in respect of significant accounting estimates, regarding the valuation of finance debtors and related recoverability, including valuation methodology and financial models and key inputs such as forward cash flow forecasts and associated growth rates and discount rates;
∙Reviewing and challenging the fair value of the Company's swaps instruments including performing independent valuation and sensitivity analysis using market data to assess the assigned valuation and potential indicators of management bias;
∙Reviewing and challenging the underlying assumptions and valuation methodology used for the valuation of the Company's group and third party loans including assessing the reasonableness of valuation inputs and assumptions in the context of market available data to assess for indicators of management bias;
∙Reviewing the tax provisions of the Company with the assistance of our independent tax specialists; and
∙Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
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.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company’s senior loan is repayable by 31 March 2037 and is supported by the future cash flows from a PFI contract with NHS Property Services Limited which matures 2038. Furthermore, the balance sheet net liability position is driven by the historic swap positions which are significantly out of the money. It is not the intention of management to close out these instruments before their maturity date and the required cash flows to service the swaps are built into forward cash flow models supporting management’s going concern assessment. Having undertaken this assessment the Directors consider it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Transactions to which the Company does not have access to all the significant benefits and risks are excluded from the financial statements.

GH STANLEY LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results. Critical areas of judgement The Company makes judgements in applying its accounting policies as described below: The recoverability of the amounts recoverable on long term contracts is based on the receipt of the unitary fee in accordance with the contractual payment mechanisms contained in the project agreement with its client, NHS Property Services Limited. The accounting for service concession contracts and finance debtors requires estimation of service margins, finance debtors interest rates and associated amortisation profile which is based on forecasted results of the PFI contract. In the UK the FCA, LIBOR's regulator, announced that it will cease to compel banks to publish LIBOR, and any sterling inter-bank rate published will be deemed to be 'not representative' after 31 December 2021. In the UK market, the new risk free rate will be SONIA, administered by the Bank of England. An estimation is required on future SONIA rates when accounting for loan facilities held at amortised cost, based on current market data. Actual rates will vary from forecast over the loan lifetime, rendering the effective interest rate calculated as an estimate subject to these variations. The valuation of the interest and inflation rate swaps held requires estimation of the cost of capital associated with the loan facility, future SONIA and inflation rates over the lifetime of the swaps which is based on current market data. Actual rates will vary from the forecast over the lifetime of the swaps, rendering the fair value of the position an estimate subject to these variations. An estimation is required on the reasonableness of future costs when accounting for lifecycle maintenance requirements. This is assessed based on historical costs which have been incurred and the future forecast of maintenance work contractually required. Actual costs will vary from forecast over the contract’s life rendering the lifecycle costs as an estimate subject to these variations. 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 revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
