| REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of property construction and commercial lettings, together with the operation of golf courses and a driving range, which it carries on as a member of partnerships. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| DIRECTOR |
| GOING CONCERN |
| The director has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, supported by forecasted information covering at least 12 months from the approval date of these statements. |
| Confidence in the company’s future is supported by its strong property portfolio, stable tenant base, and proactive risk management. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 director is 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 he 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 DIRECTOR |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Mitchells, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| BROWNBRINK LTD |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Brownbrink Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 31 March 2025 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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 Director 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 Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| BROWNBRINK LTD |
| 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 Director. |
| 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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of director |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page three, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| 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. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| - Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims. |
| - Enquiry of entity staff to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| - Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. |
| - Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. |
| - Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business. |
| Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities. It is the primary responsibility of management and those charged with governance to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of the laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud. |
| 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| BROWNBRINK LTD |
| 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. |

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Brownbrink Ltd is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102). The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. |
| The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except where otherwise stated in the accounting policies, where certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the company, rounded to the nearest pound. |
| The directors have assessed the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and are satisfied that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
| The company has not prepared consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. Although the year ends of the parent company and its subsidiary have now been aligned, this is the first financial year for which alignment has been achieved. Under FRS 102 Section 9.16–9.18, consolidated financial statements require that the financial information used for consolidation be drawn up to the same reporting date or, where the subsidiary’s year-end differs by no more than three months, adjustments or interim statements be prepared. In the prior year the reporting periods were not aligned and such adjustment or interim information is not available; accordingly it would be impracticable to prepare meaningful consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 without compromising comparability. |
| The directors intend to prepare consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2026, once two years of aligned financial reporting periods are available. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover comprises of net invoiced sales of building and construction work, excluding value-added tax, as well as rental income from the company's commercial letting activities. |
| Other Operating Income |
| Other operating income includes the company’s share of trading profits from its investment in the Boringdon Park Golf Club partnership, recharges of utilities, and management charges received. |
| Revenue Recognition |
| Revenue is recognised in accordance with the requirements of FRS 102. Income from construction contracts is recognised based on the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting date, provided the outcome of the contract can be reliably estimated. The stage of completion is determined by the proportion of contract costs incurred to date relative to the total estimated contract costs. |
| Rental income is recognised in line with the terms of the rental agreement, typically on a monthly basis as rental periods are fulfilled. Recharges of utilities and management charges are recognised when the related services have been provided, and partnership income is recognised when the share of trading profits is measurable and probable economic benefits are expected to flow to the company. |
| Revenue is recognised only when it can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity, and specific performance obligations have been satisfied in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. |

| Tangible fixed assets |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Freehold Property |
| Freehold properties classified as fixed assets are stated at either cost less impairment losses or at revalued amount in accordance with FRS 102, Section 17 Property, Plant and Equipment. Under the revaluation model, properties are revalued to fair value at regular intervals to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from fair value. |
| Revaluation gains are recognised in the Revaluation Reserve within equity, except to the extent they reverse a previously recognised revaluation loss, in which case the gain is recognised in the Profit and Loss account. Revaluation losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss account unless they reverse a previously recognised revaluation gain, in which case the loss is recognised in equity. |
| Investments in subsidiaries and associates |
| Investments in equity instruments that are publicly traded, or where their fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort, are initially measured and subsequently carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. For investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and where the fair value cannot be measured reliably, these are measured at cost less impairment. |
| Interest income on debt instruments is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method, as required by FRS 102. Dividends on equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the company’s right to receive payment is established. |
| Investment property |
| Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are remeasured to fair value at the reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognized in the Profit and Loss account in the period in which they arise, in accordance with FRS 102, Section 16. |
| No depreciation is charged on investment properties. The carrying value of investment properties reflects their fair value at the balance sheet date. Where the fair value cannot be reliably measured, the property is measured at cost less impairment losses. |
| Stocks |
| Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of stock includes all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. |
| Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and attributable overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. |
| At each reporting date, both stock and work in progress are assessed for impairment. If impairment is identified, the carrying amount is reduced to the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Any resulting impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. |
| 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. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| 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. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
