2. | Statement of compliance |

Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. |
In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of accounting, the Board have taken into account a number of factors including current operating performance, cash liquidity, approved budgets forecasts covering the going concern period and forecast banking compliance ratios. |
Management has prepared, and the Directors have reviewed and approved, budgets for the year ending 30 March 2025. These budgets include profit projections and cash flow forecasts. Longer term 5 year plans out to March 2028 have also been prepared and reviewed by the Board. An element of uncertainty is inherent in forecasting and key sensitivities have been considered when budgets are prepared and approved. |
Consequently, the Directors are satisfied that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
The company has taken advantage of the exemption available under the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated financial statements because it is included in the consolidated financial statement of Nyetimber Finco Limited, which are publicly available on Companies House. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
There are not considered to be any critical estimates or judgements in applying the company's accounting policies. |
Investments in subsidiaries |

Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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 balance sheet date. |

Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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. |
