2.	CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT 2025/26

It has been a very busy year for the Retail Development Consultancy ("RDC") with further restoration of Shircombe Farm's fabric and the continued transition from operating a substantially grass/pasture-based farming model to a more arable model.

Building on the success of last year's triticale crop, we have converted a further 60 acres of permanent pasture to this crop and it has established and grown well. Based on this success, we intend to plant a further block of triticale this coming autumn. The herbal leys that were planted under DEFRA's Sustainable Farming Scheme were slower to establish than was envisaged, impacting the amount earned for over wintering sheep. That said, since the spring the herbal leys have established well, with its silage crop surpassing that achieved on the remaining historical grass pasture. Further herbal leys will be planted this year, but earlier, to allow more time to become established prior to winter grazing. The farm continues to produce crops for the generation of bio-methane. To both improve the sporting potential of the estate and to benefit wild bird populations, under an additional DEFRA sustainable farming scheme we have planted areas with "wild bird mix".

Additional work has been carried out on the redundant stone agricultural buildings to get them to a state whereby they are fully watertight and dry with the intention to seek planning consent to convert them to further holiday lets. The existing holiday let has proved a success, which has given us the confidence to expand this side of the business.

Sadly, one of our directors and shareholders Mr Herbert John Williams, who had an important involvement with RDC from its inception in 2009 when he was company secretary, to more recently as a director and shareholder passed away on the 3rd of April 2026. He will be missed in the business.

The business was profitable in the year, and as such, interest on Director's loans to the business are liable for payment; however, the Directors have decided to keep all money in the business to continue restoring the farm's physical fabric and grow the business.

The Board has confirmed that the Company continues to have access to sufficient funds to meet ongoing costs and expansion.
