- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company is part of a group which has a detailed business plan to which the shareholders have committed significant funds. The directors have no reason to believe that the parent undertaking will not be able to execute its business plan and pay its indebtedness to its subsidiaries as and when due based on the cash flow forecast until 31 July 2027. The Company is dependent upon the continued financial support of its parent undertaking. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”
Significant events
- “During the year, on 26 March 2025, the Company was part of a group which completed a business re-organisation and simultaneous refinance of three of its care home businesses.”
- “The business operations of the care homes at Great Shelford (Barley Manor), Harpenden (Lea Grange) and Burford (Cotswold Gate) were moved from the Company into separate subsidiary entities of Porthaven Group Ventures Limited, which is the Company's ultimate parent undertaking.”
- “There have been no significant subsequent events to disclose.”
