Strategic Report |
for the year ended 30 June 2022 |
|
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2022. |
|
The primary activity of the Company in the year under review was that of providing in-patient and residential mental healthcare services including; psychiatric intensive care, rehabilitation and long term mental health residential care with and without nursing, primarily to the NHS. Nouvita is also developing additional services which include supported living for young adults with Autism and Learning Disabilities. |
|
The Company's strategy is one of continued growth through the expansion of existing facilities and also through the appropriate acquisition of hospitals, residential and nursing homes of suitable quality and location within the southeast of England. |
|
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
2022 | 2021 | 2020 |
£ | £ | £ |
Turnover | £10,469,707 | £8,536,345 | £7,892,268 |
EBITDA | £1,999,579 | £999,997 | £313,767 |
|
|
|
Whilst the Company enjoyed a good improvement in performance, during the latter part of 2021 it continued to face significant pressure on staff costs and availability. Staffing remains a challenge the Company will face in 2023, however, having started our overseas recruitment drive, it is showing signs that it will help. |
|
We worked hard to reduce or eliminate lockdowns because of the pandemic and were not always as successful as we might have liked, however, our efforts to control costs tightly, implement the agency and continued work on marketing and the reduction of voids paid dividends. |
|
As with last year, we continue to enjoy solid working relationships and brand reputation amongst our commissioners and care co-ordination teams both within the NHS and Local Authorities and have also enjoyed success in creating new working relationships across the length and breadth of the UK. Our next challenge is bed availability. We have plans to acquire new operations or build additional beds within our existing estate. |
|
Cash and management time were in demand as we worked hard to complete the build and launch of Bushey Hall an eight bedded specialist unit that went live in August 2020 and appears to be attracting the interest of a number of commissioning Company's. This continues to build. |
|
The Company has worked hard to continue the development of the Care Pathway, from hospital, through nursing units and on to supported living which is attractive to care commissioners. |
|
Cash and bank loan positions at the year-end are considered to be sufficient to sustain the working capital and growth plans for the coming year. |

Strategic Report |
for the year ended 30 June 2022 |
|
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The directors analyse key risks to the business and monitor exposure to these risks on a regular basis. |
|
Reputation risk |
|
Provision of poor or inappropriate levels of care would cause severe damage to our CQC ratings, the Company's reputation, and the ability of the business to attract new residents. The business now operates sophisticated levels of performance monitoring systems with regular reporting to senior management and the directors of any potential issues. In addition, a comprehensive program of service audits is undertaken across the homes with reports and resulting action plans being the subject of regular review. The directors encourage a culture of reporting any concerns from staff, residents and relatives all of which are appropriately investigated. |
|
Health & Safety |
|
The directors are of the view that no serious injury to staff, residents, their guests, or anyone else on the Company's premises is acceptable. Everyone in the business has accountability for health and safety, and they are given the necessary tools (including training, safety equipment and resources) to operate safely. Compliance is organised and monitored through a dedicated health and safety team across the business |
|
Employment of staff |
|
The Company relies on the skills and expertise of the staff employed. As the economy recovers, the shortage of appropriate labour is a potential risk to the business. This is particularly felt with the national shortage of qualified nursing staff. In order to mitigate this risk, the business has a proactive Human Resources and Recruitment team, including recruitment from overseas. The business continues to invest in a wide range of training courses both internally and externally. Management recognises that in order to deliver a high level of care, our people have to be trained to a very high standard of ability. |
|
Covid-19 Risks |
|
Covid-19 impacted upon staff availability coupled with additional requirements to cover sickness and additional infection control requirements. Whilst local authorities did channel government support costs for PPE, it did not make up for the need to increase fees to counter the steep rise in costs across the Company and did not provide any financial support for the hospital services. At the time of approving our accounts, it is appropriate to make a statement regarding the effect the virus might have on the safety of our people, stakeholders and our financial performance. |
|
Clearly, our people and our service user's safety are of paramount importance. If we have an outbreak at any of our locations, we must be able to isolate and contain the spread. The Company has already taken steps, as advised by the Department of Health, to minimise the risk to our staff and service users. The business continues to collect cash and we have increasing service user occupancy, However, as we discharge service users once they are moving along the Care Pathway and given the workload on our bed management teams, it is extremely difficult to predict the overall net impact on occupancy. We have put a number of cost cutting and cash conservation actions in place. These are unprecedented times and extremely difficult to forecast what the overall impact will be on the business. |
|
We are perhaps in a better position than many businesses given the sector we operate in and that all of our business is contracted with the NHS and Local Authorities. Cash flow will hold up as long as service user occupancy remains stable and our staff can continue to work at current levels. |

Report of the Directors |
for the year ended 30 June 2022 |
|
|
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 2022. |
|
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of providing social care with accommodation. |
|
DIVIDENDS |
A dividend was paid in the year of £400,000. |
|
EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR |
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements. |
|
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 July 2021 to the date of this report. |
|
|
|
|
GOING CONCERN |
The directors have reviewed the 12-month period cashflows to 30th June 2024. Based on the results of the review the directors believe the company has sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and as such consider the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements to be appropriate. |
|
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The company's principal financial instruments consist of bank loans, cash and cash equivalents, trade creditors and trade debtors. The main purpose of these instruments is to finance the company's operations. |
|
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 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 company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |

Report of the Directors |
for the year ended 30 June 2022 |
|
|
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Thorne Lancaster Parker, are deemed to be re-appointed under Section 487(a) of the Companies Act 2006. |
|
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Nouvita Limited |
|
|
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Nouvita Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2022 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 company's affairs as at 30 June 2022 and of its profit 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 company 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 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 Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors 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 Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Nouvita Limited |
|
|
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
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 Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
|
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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Nouvita 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management. |
|
Our approach was as follows: |
|
- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework (FRS 102 and the Companies Act 2006) and compliance with the relevant direct and indirect tax regulation in the United Kingdom. In addition, the Company has to comply with laws and regulations relating to its operations, including UK employment laws, health and safety, and GDPR. |
|
- We understood how Nouvita Limited is complying with those frameworks by making enquires with management and those charged with governance to understand how the company maintains and communicates policies and procedures in these areas. We understood any controls put in place by management to reduce the opportunities of fraudulent transactions. |
|
- We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatements including how fraud might occur through internal team conversations and inquiry of management and those charged with governance. Through these procedures we determined there to be a risk of management override associated with revenue and a fraud risk around transactions at the year end. We have performed tests of detail, including understanding of the nature of the transactions, verifying that the margin is appropriate, and verifying the clerical accuracy of the revenue recognised. In relation to management override, we selected a sample from the entire population of journals, including manual journals, identifying specific transactions which did not meet our expectations, in order to investigate, understand and agree to source documentation. We selected a sample of revenue transactions recorded before the year end and obtained documentation to verify that revenue adjustments had been recorded in the appropriate period. |
|
- Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved verifying that material transactions are recorded in compliance with FRS 102 and where appropriate Companies Act 2006. Compliance with other operational laws and regulations were covered through our inquiry with no indication of non-compliance identified. |
|
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 Report of the Auditors. |

|
|
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the company's members, 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 members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors 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 members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": |
|
• | the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. |
|
Significant judgements and estimates |
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including explanations of future events that are believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
|
Key accounting estimates and assumptions |
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below; |
|
Useful economic life of property plant and equipment |
|
The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. |
|
Going concern |
The directors have reviewed the 12-month period cashflows to 30th June 2024. Based on the results of the review the directors believe the company has sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and as such consider the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements to be appropriate. |

|
Revenue recognition |
Turnover |
Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for provision of services to external customers in the ordinary nature of the business. The fair value of the consideration takes into account discounts, settlement discounts and other rebates. |
|
The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and it is probable that future economic benefit will flow to the company. |
|
Other income |
Other income is recognised on an accruals basis and is presented within other operating income. |
|
Property, plant & equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, dismantling and restoration initially recorded at cost. |
|
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
|
|
Freehold Buildings | 50 years |
Short leasehold | 2 years |
Plant and machinery | 4 years |
Motor vehicles | 4 years |
|
No depreciation is charged on Freehold Land. |
|
The carrying values of property plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
|
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
|
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
|
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 taxation |
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. |

|
Financial instruments |
The company has chosen to adopt Section 11 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments as it has only basic financial instruments. |
|
Basic financial assets |
Trade and other debtors, loans to fellow group companies, loans to related companies, other debtors and bank balances, which are due within one year are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently carried at amortised cost being the transaction price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses. |
|
At the end of each reporting period basic 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. |
