STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
The directors present the strategic report and financial statements for the period ended 30 November 2025.
The principal activity of the company during the period continued to be the operation of a luxury country house
hotel and wellness centre.
The company is operating in an established and specialised niche within the hospitality industry and competing with an appropriate business model.
The company largely competes in the southern part of England with providers of luxury hotel and spa services. The historic premises and parkland of the company’s operation has over many years been subject to substantial investment and development. The company operates in a wide ranging legal and regulatory environment such as but not limited to: corporate,governance, health and safety, environment, bribery and corruption, employment law and diversity, disability access, data privacy and information protection, relationships, accounting and taxation. The overriding aim of the company is to further strengthen its financial position, produce the reserves needed to continue to reward its employees and shareholders, provide funds for future capital investment and provide support to the local community. Operationally the company is focused on customer or guest satisfaction. The aim of the company is to meet those needs and develop customer loyalty. Over many years the company has made continuing and substantial capital investment into the property by way of upgrading, bedroom expansion, the addition of facilities such as the wellness centre and technological improvements. These changes have enabled the business to upscale its price point(s), increase volumes and reduce per capita cost, bringing about a significant and substantive improvement in operating margins and ultimately earnings. To continue to grow its business substantially and responsibly the company needs a talented and passionate team of people and we as a company employ and attract some of the best professionals in our sector. The company is a subsidiary of a larger hotel operating group and as such has access to a broader range of operational technologies and systems which will deliver commercial advantage. The directors consider the financial performance in 2025 to be satisfactory.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
The company is a subsidiary of Historic Sussex Hotels Limited and the company may be directly or indirectly impacted by circumstances that affect the parent company or its subsidiaries. The 'risks and uncertainties' stated below may be common to the company, the parent and its subsidiaries.
The company is exposed to political and economic developments such as recession, inflation, availability of credit and currency fluctuations that could lower revenues, reduce profit and ultimately impact the value of the business. The room rates and occupancy levels of the company could be adversely impacted by events that reduce domestic travel, such as natural disasters, pandemics and epidemics, national, regional and local viral outbreaks and consequent restrictions imposed by respective authorities. A decrease in demand for hotel rooms as a result of such events may have an adverse effect on the company operations and financial results. In addition, inadequate contingency planning or recovery capability in relation to a major incident or crisis may prevent operational continuity and consequently impact the reputation of the company. The company is required to comply with existing and changing regulations. This affects countless aspects of the company's business ranging from corporate governance, health and safety, environment, bribery and corruption, employment law and diversity, disability access, data privacy and information protection, relationships, accounting and taxation. Regulatory changes may require significant changes in the way the business operates and may inhibit the strategy including the markets the company operates in, brand protection and use of transmittal or customer data. If the company fails to comply with existing or changing regulation, the company may be subject to fines, prosecution or loss of operational licenses, which may cause the company to cease or restrict normal trading levels, or reputation damage. The company and wider group is exposed to a variety of risks associated with its financial stability and ability to borrow and satisfy debt covenants. The company and group has utilised its own capital and utilised lenders funds in order to develop and extend its business. The group is reliant upon having financial strength to meet its debt service covenants. Non-compliance with these covenants could result in the lenders demanding repayment of the funds advanced. If the group's financial performance does not meet market expectations, it may not be able to refinance existing facilities on terms considered favourable.
The company has a holistic set of carefully selected key performance indicators (KPI's) to monitor its success in achieving strategy. In particular the company uses the following measures to monitor performance:
- Revenue - Staff costs as a ratio to revenue - EBITDA The company's recent performance against these KPI's is summarised below • Revenue in the year increased by 9% • Staff costs as a % of revenue was 36% • EBITDA increased by 22%

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BAILIFFSCOURT LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Bailiffscourt Limited (the 'Company') for the period ended 30 November 2025, which comprise the statement of income and retained earnings, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity and the related notes, 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).
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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
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 AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BAILIFFSCOURT LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 directors' report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BAILIFFSCOURT 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 auditors' 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 gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
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 auditors' report.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements , including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group.

∙the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have considered relevant information, including the annual budget, forecast future cash flows and the impact of subsequent events in making their assessment. The directors have performed a robust analysis of forecast future cash flows based on uninterrupted trading for the forseeable future.
Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty in relation to the appropriateness of continuing to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts. Income from accommodation The hotel supplies conference and event facilities as well as hotel rooms to businesses and private customers. Revenue generated from the sale of rooms and conference and event facilities is recognised when the rooms are occupied, the functions have taken place and services have been rendered. Deposits received in advance are not recognised as revenue until the day of the stay or the event. Income from bars and restaurants The hotel operates bar and restaurant activities. Revenue comprises sales of food and drink and is recognised as income at the point of sale. Income from spa treatments and membership Spa membership joining fees are recognised in full at the time membership commences. Annual subscriptions are recognised evenly over the membership year.
The Company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on the following basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
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.
Fair values are determined from market based evidence normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an outright short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have had to make the following judgments: • Determine whether leases entered into by the company either as a lessor or a lessee are operating lease or finance leases. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee on a lease by lease basis. • Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's tangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit. Other key sources of estimation uncertainty: Revaluation of land and buildings The company carries its property, plant and equipment at fair value with change in fair value being recognised in other comprehensive income. The judgement relating to the fair value is based on the director's use of the professional valuation carried out on behalf of the company's bankers in February 2025 at £23.1m, taking into account any additions and depreciation since the date of valuation. The valuation was carried out in accordance with the RICS Valuation – Global Standards effective from 31 January 2020, by Avison Young LLP, an independent firm of Chartered Surveyors. Freehold land and buildings are maintained to such a standard that their estimated residual value is not materially less than their carrying value, therefore no depreciation is charged on freehold land and buildings as it is not considered material. Tangible assets Tangible assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on the number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to its principal activity.
