DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments 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 directors are 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 to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ERT CAMELOT LIMITED
In our opinion the financial statements:
∙give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its loss 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.
We draw attention to note 2.3 in the financial statements, which explains that the directors have commenced the orderly winding up of the company and therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern as described in note 2.3. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ERT CAMELOT LIMITED (CONTINUED)
We have nothing to report in this regard.
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 Directors' Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ERT CAMELOT LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Auditor's 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 instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas:
∙compliance with relevant laws and regulations which may impact on the financial statements
∙management judgements applied in calculating provisions
∙management override of controls to manipulate the Company's key performance indicators to meet targets
We discussed these risks with client management, designed audit procedures to address these risks including:
∙reviewed internal documentation and correspondence with regulators for evidence or irregularities
∙consideration of the assumptions applied whether the judgements applied in calculation of provisions were appropriate
∙reviewed areas of judgement and tested a sample of journal entries for indicators of management bias
∙performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships which may be an
indication of material misstatement due to fraud.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions 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 than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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 Auditor's Report.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provision for decommissioning is recognised in full on the installation of oil and natural gas production facilities. The amount recognised is the present value of the estimated future expenditure determined in accordance with local conditions and requirements. A corresponding tangible fixed asset of an amount equivalent to the provision is also created. This is subsequently depreciated as part of the capital costs of the production and transportation facilities. Any change in estimated expenditure is reflected as an adjustment to the provision and the fixed asset.
The following judgements have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements: Changes in existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities As described in the decommissioning accounting policy, any change in estimated expenditure is reflected as an adjustment to both the provision and the related fixed asset. The provision of £74,000 was held at the prior year end. During the year, a detailed survey was undertaken which was £49,000 higher than expected. The provision has beeen increased by £116,000 to reflect a future survey cost. The decommissioning activities are expected to be undertaken during 2027 unless final approval is provided from the BEIS following the updated survery work completed in 2025. Upon approval by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), this will extinguish any further obligation by the Company. The Directors do not believe there will be any additional future outlay following successful acceptance of the survey.
