| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 October 2025. |
| BUSINESS REVIEW |
| Revenue from continuing operations, including the group's share of joint ventures, has increased from £62.7m in the prior year to £63.6m in the current year. |
| Margins in relation to the continuing operations have increased from 40% in the prior year to 41.4% in the current year. Operating profit from continuing operations has decreased by £1m on the prior year. |
| The profit on joint ventures is consistent with the prior year. |
| Overall, profit before tax has reduced from £12.8m in the prior year to £10.7m in the current year. The directors are satisfied with the profit level for the year. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The group does not actively use financial instruments as part of its financial risk management. It is exposed to the usual credit risk and cash flow associated with selling on credit and manages this through credit control procedures. The group is also exposed to interest rate risk on the cost of its borrowing. |
| SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT |
| The Directors understand the importance of engaging with stakeholders - employees, customers, suppliers and the community and environment at large - and regularly discuss and address any issues of concern. It is acknowledged that a clear inter-dependency exists between the success of the Group and the success of its stakeholders. |
| Employees |
| Our employees are fundamental to the success of our business and in addition to our responsible approach to pay and benefits. We continually engage with our team to ascertain and make available training and development opportunities to improve performance. |
| Customers |
| We continue to work closely with all our customers to and aim to ensure that service levels meet expectation, whilst commercial terms remain fair and transparent. |
| Suppliers |
| We aim to develop and enter strong stable working relationships with our suppliers. We aim to be fair and transparent in our negotiations and build a co-operation based on mutual trust and long-term commitment. |
| Environment and the community |
| The group recognises its responsibility to carry out its operations, avoiding any adverse environmental impact and in compliance with all applicable environmental legislation, whilst preventing pollution, reducing and recycling waste where possible. The Group encourages diversity and inclusion of employees from all backgrounds. |
| Governance and regulation |
| The directors behave responsibly to ensure that the management team operates the business in an appropriate manner, with high standards of business conduct and good governance as expected of a business our nature and size and in full alignment with rules and regulations. In doing so we believe we will achieve our long-term business strategy and further develop our reputation in our sector. |

| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025 |
| Members |
| The directors have a close working relationship with managers and key personnel throughout our group. They treat them fairly, equally and with respect and ensure they benefit as the group achieves its long-term business strategy. |
| The directors provide information relevant to those members which will include regular management accounts and key metric indicators relevant to their position in the group. |
| GOING CONCERN |
| The group made a profit of £8,191,115 (2024 - £10,141,638) in the current year and has net assets of £138,467,989 (2024 - £130,276,874). |
| As there is a reasonable expectation that the company and the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and meet all obligations and covenants, the directors have concluded this does not represent a material uncertainty with regard to going concern. |
| Thus, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which presumes the realisation of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. |
| FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The key financial and operational performance indicators monitored by management, on both an individual unit by unit basis and on a divisional basis, include weekly revenue levels, gross profit margins and wage costs as a percentage of turnover. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| CALEDONIAN HERITABLE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: SC076552) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 October 2025. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the group and company is that of operating public houses, golf courses and diesel particulate filter systems. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividend payments were made during the year. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| The group is well placed to take advantage of any opportunities that it identifies. The directors are satisfied that the group will remain profitable and in a strong financial position. The directors will continue to monitor costs closely and to take remedial action where necessary. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 November 2024 to the date of this report. |
| Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
| EMPLOYMENT POLICY |
| The group considers employee engagement to be central to its success, promoting an entrepreneurial approach at all levels, encouraging career development. The group is an equal opportunities employer. It is committed to providing equal opportunities throughout employment including the recruitment, training and promotion of workers, and to eliminate discrimination in the workplace whether on grounds of age, gender, marital status or sexual orientation, race, national or ethnic origin, religious orientation or beliefs or disability. All job applicants and workers are treated equally and the group is willing to make reasonable adjustments where appropriate for disabled applicants and workers. |
| EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT |
| The group provides an open basis of communication which provides employees systematically with information on matters of concern to them as employees, consults employees or their representatives on a regular basis so that the views of employees can be taken into account in making decisions which are likely to affect their interests, encourages the involvement of employees in the group's performance, and achieves a common awareness on the part of all employees of the financial and economic factors affecting the performance of the group. |
| STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING |
| The Group performs a full analysis of its consumption of UK energy use on a three year cycle with 2025 being the sixth year this was analysed. |
| The total Kwh consumption across company properties is 6,215,379 (2024 - 6,521,142). This is split between electricity 2,957,629 (2024 - 3,067,450) and gas 3,257,750 (2024 - 3,453,692). |
| This equates to 1,100.12 (2024 - 1,350.26) tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions. |
| CALEDONIAN HERITABLE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: SC076552) |
| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025 |
| The Group is aware of its obligations as an industrial user and emitter of CO2 greenhouse gases to reduce consumption and protect the environment. All new processes initiated and fixed assets purchased are introduced with energy consumption in mind. |
| In addition it is understood that operational efficiencies not only reduce power consumption but reduce associated costs. |
| All existing processes, equipment and infrastructure are under constant review to seek opportunity for more efficient alternatives. |
| The methodology used by the group to calculate UK energy CO2 emission was taken from UK government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting advisory. |
| The intensity ratio currently in use by the group is CO2 emissions in relation to turnover equating to 20.71g of CO2 per £1,000 of turnover. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
| - | 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |

| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025 |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director 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 group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| CALEDONIAN HERITABLE LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Caledonian Heritable Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 October 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Consolidated 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 October 2025 and of the group's 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 group 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 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 group's and the parent 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. |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| CALEDONIAN HERITABLE LIMITED |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
| 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, the directors are 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 directors determine 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 directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent 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 directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have 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. |
| 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: |
| - The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| - We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company/Group through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge; |
| - We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Company/Group, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, employment and data protection; |
| - We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquires of management and inspecting legal correspondence; |
| - Identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
| We assess the susceptibility of material misstatement within the Company/Group's financial statements, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by: |
| - Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; |
| - Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| CALEDONIAN HERITABLE LIMITED |
| To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
| - Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
| - Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
| - Assessed whether judgement and assumptions made in determining accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and |
| - Investigated the rationale behind any significant or unusual transactions. |
| In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
| - Agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
| - Reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
| - Enquiring of management as to actual potential litigation and claims; and |
| - Reviewing correspondence. |
| Whilst our audit did not identify any significant matters relating to the detection of irregularities including fraud, and despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK), there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit, and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularity would likely involve collusion, forgery, intentional misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. |
| 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. |
| 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 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Caledonian Heritable Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| The group made a profit of £8,191,115 (2024 - £10,141,638) in the current year and has net assets of £138,467,989 (2024 - £130,276,874). |
| Therefore, as there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, the directors have concluded this does not represent a material uncertainty with regards to going concern. |
| Thus, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which presumes the realisation of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. |
| BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION |
| The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its subsidiaries ("the group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full. |
| The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the balance sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. |
| ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES |
| An entity is treated as a joint venture where the group is a party to a contractual agreement with one or more parties from outside the group to undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. |
| An entity is treated as an associated undertaking where the group exercises significant influence in that it has the power to participate in the operating and financial policy decisions. |
| In the consolidated financial statements, interests in associated undertakings are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under this method an equity investment is initially recognised at the transaction price (including transaction costs) and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the investor's share of the profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity of the associate. The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes the group's share of the operating results, interest, pre-tax results and attributable taxation of such undertakings applying accounting policies consistent with those of the group. In the consolidated balance sheet, the interests in associated undertakings are shown as the group's share of the identifiable net assets, including any unamortised premium paid on acquisition. |
| Any premium on acquisition is dealt with in accordance with the goodwill policy. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| TURNOVER |
| Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Turnover represents the amount derived from the continuing principal activity of development and operation of entertainment, leisure and property facilities. |
| Turnover is accounted for on a receipts basis for most income streams. Plant hire, waste management and haulage, golfing activities, spa, facilities management and events activities are accounted for when the service is provided. Property rental income is based on annual rent recognised evenly over the period. |
| Revenue from bars, restaurants and nightclubs, and gains on the sale of development plots are sales of goods. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: |
| - the group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer; |
| - the group retains neither continuing management involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the the goods sold; |
| - the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| - it is probable that the group will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and |
| - the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
| GOODWILL |
| Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer's interest in fair value of the group's share of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis to the statement of comprehensive income over its useful economic life. |
| Goodwill is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful economic life of 10 years. |
| INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
| In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on the research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probably future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. |
| All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a realisable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years. |
| Amortisation and impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within administrative expenses. |
| Development expenditure has been deemed to have an infinite life and therefore no amortisation has been recognised. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS |
| Tangible fixed assets under the cost model, other than investment properties, are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. |
| Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of the assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight line method: |
| Depreciation is provided on the following basis: |
| Freehold property | - over 50 years |
| Leasehold improvements | - over the lease term |
| Plant and machinery | - 4-7 years |
| Motor vehicles | - 3-7 years |
| Fixtures and fittings | - 3-7 years |
| Office equipment | - 3-7 years |
| The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. |
| Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss. |
| INVESTMENT PROPERTY |
| Investment property is carried at fair value and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. |
| STOCKS |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a weighted average basis. |
| At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. |

| FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
| The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to related parties. |
| Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. lf objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income and retained earnings. |
| For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset, carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. lf a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
| TAXATION |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated 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. |
| 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. |
| INVESTMENTS |
| Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment. |
| Investments in unlisted group shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment. |
| Investments in listed company shares are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit and loss for the period. |

| FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION |
| Functional and presentational currency |
| The group's functional and presentational currency is GBP. |
| Transactions and balances |
| Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. |
| At each period end, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined. |
| Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges. |
| Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within "finance income or costs". All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within "other operating income". |
| On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into Sterling at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rate ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at opening rate and the results of overseas operations at actual rate are recognised in other comprehensive income. |
| OPERATING LEASES: THE GROUP AS LESSEE |
| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
| The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
| Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recongised on a straight line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset. |
| PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS |
| The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations. |
| The contributions are recognised as an expense in the statement of income and retained earnings when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. |

| FINANCE COSTS |
| Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting. |
| 3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
| In preparing the financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements: |
| Determining whether there are indicators of impairment of the group's tangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset. |
| Determining whether there are indicators of impairment of the group's intangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching a decision include the performance and book value of fellow group entities. |
| Determining the collectability of each individual receivable balance as at 31 October 2025. If specific debts were identified where there is a significant uncertainty as to the recoverability of the debt based upon information received and payment history, a provision is created against these debts. |
| Investment properties are valued annually using a yield-based methodology using market rental values capitalised at a market capitalisation rate, but there is an inevitable degree of judgement involved in that each property is unique and value can only ultimately be tested in the market itself. |
| Business combinations are measured at their net asset value (fair value) at acquisition date and consolidated based on this information with excess of cost over fair value taken to the balance sheet as goodwill. Some estimation uncertainty exists in relation to the fair value at acquisition date in respect of pre acquisition profits and the balance sheet position as at that time. |
| Unlisted investments are measured at their amortised cost, in the absence of a publicly available information on market value as these investments are not publicly traded. These valuations are a matter of judgement. The recoverability and potential impairment of these investments is based on judgement. |
