STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS. RESPONSIBILITIES Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements the directors are required to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent- 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 proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK GAAP and 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 the affairs of the company and of the profit and loss of the company for that period and that the reporting framework that had been applied in their preparation was the Charities SORP (FRS 102 (Jan 2015)). DIRECTORS The directors of the company during the financial year were as stated on page l. in accordance with the company's Articles of Association the directors retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting.

In furtherance of this the company may acquire, restore, repair, renovate, and improve or add to such buildings and provide and manage them as residential or commercial property. Provision may be by way of sale, let on lease or tenancy or other appropriate means of disposal. Subsequent to the completion of the previous project, the directors have not identified a suitable property to develop as at the signing of these accounts, therefore there has been little financial activity during the year. The directors continue to explore opportunities to carry out the company's objectives. RELATED PARTIES There are no related parties to report save the board of directors.

REPORT (continued) FINANCIAL REVIEW & RESERVES POLICY Reserves at 30 September 2022 were £22,735 The company's core expenditure is very low due to the volu ntary nature of the operations and the retention of reserves ensures continued viability.
