1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Hartlebury Castle Company Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

RELATED PARTY EXEMPTION

The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

GOING CONCERN

In preparing these financial statements, the directors have considered whether the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate. To make this assessment the directors have considered the current financial position of the company and anticipated future cashflows for a period of at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements.

The company is reliant on the parent charitable company Hartlebury Castle Preservation Trust not requiring immediate cash settlement of amounts due to them until there is sufficient cash generated from operations to make such payments. However the directors acknowledge that this support is not legally binding and that the parent charitable company could technically call in the debt at any time, and whilst it is considered unlikely that they should ever do so, if the parent charitable company did elect to do so the company would then not be able to continue as a going concern.

TURNOVER

Turnover from shop and café sales are recognised at the point of sale.

Turnover from weddings, room hire and other event income is recognised when the provision of such service has been made.

STOCKS

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

TAXATION

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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 balance sheet date.

DEFERRED TAX

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2022 - NIL).

4.	ULTIMATE CONTROLLING PARTY

The controlling party is Hartlebury Castle PreservationTrust.
