Emphasis of matter We draw attention to Note 2.2 to financial statements wthieh $umm8rises the nditionS identified al 31 August 2025. On 1 December 2025 the operations of the School were transferred lo Benenden School. with all assets and liabilities transferred. as detailed in note 33. The Governors intend to liquidate the company in due course. followng the transfer. and therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going ¢oncem basis of accounting in preparing the ffirtancial statements. Acwrdingly the ffinanaal StatenIS have been prepared on a basis other than going eoncem as descjibed in Note 2.2. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Page 13
