Interim Management Report
Six Month Period to 30 June 2015
Principal activities and business review
The Company's principal activity is the financing of the
operation of a 38 year Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract
for the East Lancashire Hospitals National Health Service carried
out by Consort Healthcare (Blackburn) Limited.
The Directors expect the activities to continue on this
basis.
Key performance indicators (KPIs)
The Company assesses its performance based on the financial
performance in the period of the fellow subsidiary of Consort
Healthcare (Blackburn) Holdings Limited, Consort Healthcare
(Blackburn) Limited. The directors consider the performance of
Consort Healthcare (Blackburn) Limited for the first six months of
the year to be satisfactory.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Company recognises that effective risk management is
fundamental to achieving its business objectives in order to meet
its commitments in financing the PFI contract. Risk management
contributes to the success of the business by identifying
opportunities and anticipating risks in order to improve business
performance and fulfil the Company's contractual obligations.
The directors do not consider that potential risks and
uncertainties have changed since the publication of the annual
report for the year ended 31 December 2014.
Going concern
The company is reliant on the operations of its fellow
subsidiary Consort Healthcare (Blackburn) Limited to be able to
meet its liabilities as they fall due. Due to the downgrade of the
monoline insurer of the listed bond, the European Investment Bank
has exercised a clause in the loan agreement and applied an
additional interest charge to the loan.
The Directors have reviewed the cash flow forecast and they
believe that Consort Healthcare (Blackburn) Limited will be able to
finance the additional interest out of future cashflows. Taking
into account reasonable possible risks in operations to Consort
Healthcare (Blackburn) Limited and the fact that the obligations of
Consort Healthcare (Blackburn) Limited's sole customer are
underwritten by the Secretary of State for Health, the Directors
have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to
settle its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future
and therefore it is appropriate to prepare these financial
statements on the going concern basis.

1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies of the Company are detailed in
the annual audited financial statements. The same accounting
policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim
financial statements as compared with the latest audited financial
statements.
Basis of preparation
The interim accounts have been prepared in accordance with
applicable law and United Kingdom accounting standards and under
the historical cost convention.
Following transition to FRS102 from 1 January 2015, the interim
accounts have been prepared in accordance with FRS104. It is
expected that transition will have no impact on the results
reported for the year ending 31 December 2014, nor for the six
month period ending 30 June 2015.
Cashflow
In the annual audited financial statements, the Company has
taken advantage of the exemption available under FRS102 and not
prepared a cash flow statement as it is presented in the
consolidated accounts of Consort Healthcare (Blackburn) Holdings
Limited. Consequently, no cashflow statement is presented for the
six month period to 30 June 2015.
