The location ol the site, coupled with the facilities that the Re8iment can offer through the Company, means that the Regiment's recruits tend to be of high calibre and amenable to a higher level of training in the short periods that they are in uniform. Durin8 the period, member5 of the Re8iment have been deployed operationally to the Balkans, Ifaq, and Hawau. The Re8imenl has also deployed acr055 the UK on a range of operations and training events, in support of the UK Defence and NATO partners. Ceremonial Sub-units.

Judgemexts and key sources of estimation uNcertAinty In the application 0£ the Company 5 accounting policies, the Trustees are required lo make judsements, estimates and assumptions about the carryins amoLmt of a55ets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may difEer from these estimates. Honourable Artillery Company NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 October 2024 Icont'dl The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on80ing basis. Revisions to accountins estimate5 are recognised in the peri(xl in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that pericd, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and fu￿re periods. The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most signlficant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.. a) The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investrnents, economic utiiisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note Ila and Ilb for the carryins amount of the property, plant and equipment and the accounting policy above for the useEuJ economic lives for each class of a55et. b) The Group uses the valuation performed by its independent professional valuers every 3 years as the fair value of its investment properties. The valuation is based upon the key assumptions of estimated rental values and market-based yields. With regard to redevelopments and refurbishmenls, future development costs and an appropriate discount rate are also used. In determining fair value, the vhluers make reference to market evidence and reeent transaction prices for similar properties. The Trustees consider any change in values in between formal professional valuations. Management considers the Significant assumptions to the valuation of investment properlie5 to be estimated rental values and market-based yields, tO8elher with general observation5 as to the stale of the market at the Balance Sheet dale.
