JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLY CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT for the year ended 31 March 2025 This year norrnal business has continued in the Home. Room occupancy has ranged from 28 to 33 residents representing an occupancy rate of 91,19 against a budget set for 28. The Board and Home Manager have concentrated on continuing to improve the facilities and catch up with much needed redecoration. The merging of six smaller rooms into three to provide more spacious accommodation with modern bathroom facilities has been completed. Improvements in fire precautions on the second floor have enabled the room there to be occupied. This was all funded within our remit as a not-for-profit charity. Residents remain generaiiy well. happy and in good spirits enjoying the social activities that the Home provides, There were six deaths from natural causes during the year and two residents had to be moved for nursing care. The Closed-circuit Television system has again been upgraded to further enhance Home security. The continued increase in costs, notably energy and food, has been of great concern. In addition, we have increased staff pay to remain ahead of the rise in the National Living Wage. Our budget for 2025126 has also to accommodate the significant rise in National Insurance which took place in April. We have had no option but to increase room rates by a very moderate 5Q/o. We have however advised that a mid-year review may be needed. During the year the Board reviewed the Charity Commissions checklist for internal financial controls and have met the standards therein, This exercise prompted revision of the Home's banking and financial policies which have been updated and are being reviewed at least once each year, Job's Close continues to maintain Its fine reputation as a home from home. Our Home Manager, Eileen Carlton, has ensured that all policies and procedures are up to date and ompliant in accordance with the requirernents of the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Concluslons relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concerning 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 unTrrtainties relating to events or conditions that, i ndividually or collettively, may cast sig nificant doubt on the charitable 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 trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

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

JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLY INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLEY 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 misststement in the financial ststements 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 trustees, report (incorporating the directors, report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. and the direttors, report has been prepared in a￿ordan￿ with applicable legal requirements, Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the tharitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors, report.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to trase operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 10

JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLY INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLEY Auditor's 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 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 InStan￿S of non-compliance with laws and regLtlations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detett rnaterlal misstatements in respett of irregularities, including fraud. However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of the trustees, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and ￿gUlationS and for the prevention and detection of fraud. In identlfying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, we have: obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector, including the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates In and how the company is cornplying with the legal and regulatory framework,. and inqulred of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected of alleged instances of fraud, As a result of these procedures, we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are the Charities SORP (FRS 102)'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordan￿ with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective l January 2019),. Financial Fleporting standard FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland,, the Companies Att 2006 (and related legislation), the Charities Act 2011 (and related legislation), and laws and regulations relating to the employment and payment of staff including, but not limited to, the Employment Rights Act 1996, the National Minimum Wage Att 1998 and the Pensions Att 2008. We performed audit procedures to detett non-compliances which may have a material impact on the financial statements, which included reviewing the financial statement disclosures. This includes sample testing of monthly payroll records for the calculation of gross wages, payroll taxes and pension costs. We identified the areas of the financial statements most susceptible to fraud to be management's judgement in allocating expenditure to individual restrirted and unrestricted funds, Including the allocation of wage costs and general staff overheads. Audit procedures performed included, but were not limited to, reviewing management's reasoning and workings behind these allocations of expenditure,

JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLY INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLEY Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detett all irregularitie5, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliantr with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transattions 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 tha n error, as f raud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent, Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs.

JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLY NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS For the year ended 31 March 2025 Support costs allocation Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources The analysis of these costs is included in note 3. Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended, Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows.. Freehold land is not depreciated Freehold buildings Furniture, fixtures & fittings ICT Equipment The current capitalisation policy is to have m inimum thresholds for capitalisation of.. Land, Buildings and Improvements is £5,000 Machinery, Equipment, Fixtures & Fittings is £1,000 Investments 2.50/0 cf cost 200/0 of cost 50 % of cost Investments are recognised initially at fair value wh ich is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in 'net gains I (losses) on investments, in the SOFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can othenvise be measured reliably.

JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLY NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS For the year ended 31 March 2025 1.10 Debtors and creditors receivable I payable wlthln one year Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. 1.11 Impairment Assets not measurecl at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an irnpairment10sS IS recognised in the SOFA unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. 1.12 Em ployee benefits hen employees have rendered seniice to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. The Charity operates a defined contribution pension plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as 8n expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits, 1.13 Tax The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. 1.14 Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial staternents. The budgeted incorne and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. 20
