Strategic Report |
Year ended 30th April 2023
The director presents her strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2023. Fair review of the business During the year the company continued to provide high quality home care services mainly via local authorities but also directly with private individuals. The director is pleased with the result for the year despite reductions in turnover, gross profit margin and net profit compared with the previous year, which were due to ongoing difficulties recruiting and maintaining staff. A summary of the results for the three most recent years is shown below which shows a continued increase in the company's net assets. 2023 2022 2021 Turnover £1,615,703 £1,917,541 £1,952,289 Gross profit margin 27,31% 30.1% 30.11% Profit before tax £318,987 £450,406 £496,444 Net assets £6,158,364 £5,949,464 £5,631,771 The director's aim continues to be to maintain current contracts with local authorities and to ensure that work is only taken on providing the company's high quality services can be maintained. Principal risks and uncertainties Operating risks The operating risks for the business are considered to be the funding available to local authorities to pay for home care services, the renewal of contracts with local authorities, the competition from other local home care providers and ensuring high quality staff can be recruited and maintained. Interest rate risks The company does not have any borrowings so is not exposed to interest rate increases. The company has large cash reserves so any reductions in interest rates will give rise to less interest being received although this will not have a material impact on the company's results. Liquidity risks The company has significant cash reserves which are sufficient to finance the business' operations and meet the company's working capital requirements. Surplus funds are invested to maximise potential returns. Trade debtors are managed in respect of cash flow risk by monitoring amounts owed and ensuring all outstanding debts are pursued. Creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Member of
|
Year ended 30th April 2023
Opinion
Basis for 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 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
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 strategic report and the director's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the 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
Responsibilities of the director
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud (continued)
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's member, 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 member those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's 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 member as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
