Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- 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 expect to continue to fill the homes until they all reach an expected level of maturity and increased profitability. After making due enquiries the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company have sufficient resources to meet known and expected liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. It is the opinion of the Directors that the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis is appropriate. The auditors have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate and have not identified any material uncertainties.”
Significant events
- “After the year end, on 26 March 2025, the Group 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 out of the Company into separate wholly owned subsidiary entities of Porthaven Group Ventures Limited. As part of this reorganisation, Porthaven Properties No 3 Limited, a Group company, repaid a tranche of the HSBC financed term loan totalling £23,620,988. A new senior loan was taken out from Natwest bank, secured against these properties, totalling £37,900,000.”
- “The Directors decided to focus on recruitment in order to reduce the usage of agency staff. The Directors focused on increasing occupancy levels at existing homes and opening three new homes.”
