An application to register this propety with CQC as a respite home has bn made. A three bedroom property on the outskirts of Acklam, was purchased two years ago to place a young woman at the Nuest of NECS commissioning unit. The property has bn fully improved and refurbished to meet CQC stsndards to register as a iwo bedroom residential home for aduts with learning disabilitieslautism. An application to the CQC has been made to register this property. Aapna purchased another property in Linthorpe to set it up as a two bedroom SIdential home. Once the propety has been registered the charty will move a resident into this property as their permanent residential placement. This property was purchased within the clc>se vicinity of the person's current acrJ)mmodation, keeping the young person's psychological needs in mind. A fvll team of professionals from different agencies r8sponsible for the care of this young person has been fvlly involved in the process and recommended the suitabilty of the propety.

The counsellor delivers this vital ser¥ice trj anyone from the Tees Valley. Our contract funding had ended with Alliance, but we negotiated with CCG who agreed to carry on funding this valuable seNice via A]liance Psychological Services. Financlal review This year has seen a drop in the net income for the chanty mainly due to the sale of domiciliary home care servic85 during the year. There are also some other contributory factors, such as the rise in the minimum wage, staff sickness levels, and local authorities have kept the unit cost for all contracted services to a minimum, reduGing the net income margin. During the year, the domiciliary home Ca Servi was sold, so that the Gharity can concentrate on developing the Short Break servi and Residential Gare SeNices. Free reserves at the end of March 2024 were £2,530,600. The trustees aim to maintain free resetves, being residual reserves after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets, of approximately 9 to 12 months running costs. The free reserves viill also be used to carry out the refurbishment of the above properties and continuously maintain and improve the properties. Once the current properties are up and running SucsSfUlly. the trustees will consider purchasing additional properties, if the. Respite Care and Residential .Care ServIS prove to be SucsSfUl. The trust&s would like to take thbs OPFQrtunty to thank the staff. volunteers and Servi users for their hard work and c(Foperation throughout the year. Page 4

Aapna Services Ltd Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members of Aapna Services Ltd Irregularlties, including fraud. are Instan of r)n-mplIance wlth laws and regulations. We. design procedures in line with our responsibilib'es. OLrtlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent ta which our predu are capable of detectin9 irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. We gained an understanding of the 18gal and regulatory framewo applicable to. the charity and considered the risks of acts by the charity that are contrdry to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risK ¢cnIsing that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is hoher than the risk of not detecting one suIting from emr, as fraud may involve deliberate COnalment by. for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. Based on our understrdnding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates. we identified that the principal risks of non-complian with laws and regulations related to social care, safeguarding, employmen( health and safety regutionS and charity law.we also considered those laws and regulations that have a dirert impact on the financial statements including, but not limited to. the Charities Act 2011. Companies Act 20C6, Charities (Accounts and Reports Regulations) and the Charities SORP (FRS 102). Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management We also addressed the risk of management override of intemal controls. including evaluating whether there Nvas eviden of bias by the trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements in the financial statements may not be deted. even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordan with the ISAS (UK). For instan. the further removed non Complian is from the events and transactions refiected in the financial statements, the less likety the auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise the non-complian.

Aapna Services Ltd Notes to the Financial Statemants for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Tangible fed assets Tangible assets are initially recorded at cosc and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tsngible assets carried at revalued arnounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impaimient losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impaiment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation. is recognised in other recognised gains and losses. expt to which it offsets any previous revalualion gain. in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asseL less its residual value, over the useful econornic Itfe of that asset as follows- Asset class Freehold propety Motor vehicles Equipment Depreciation method and rate 20/0 straight line 25% straight line 25Ok straight line Impairment of red assets A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators extsL INhere the carrying valu8 exceeds the recoverable amoun( the asset is impaired accordirKJly. Prior impairments ar8 also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purpose of impaimient testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows th* largely independent of the cash inflovB from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is. from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating unts that are expeGted to benefrt from the synergies of the combinats"on, irrespeGtive of whether other assets or liabilrties of the charity are assigned to those units. Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method. Where necessary. adjustments are made to the financial ststements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by the charity. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. In accordan with Sectton 35 of FRS 102, Section 19 of FRS 102 has not been applied in these financial statements in respect of business comts'nations effected prior to the date of transition. Page 15
