 ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 
  2022 
 
 Financial information 
 
  The financial information set out above does not 
   constitute statutory 
  accounts within the meaning of Section 434 Companies 
   Act 2006. It has 
  been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance 
   with the recognition 
  and measurement criteria of the International 
   Financial Reporting 
  Standards (IFRS) as adopted by 
   the European Union. 
 
  The accounting policies used in the preparation 
   of this set of condensed 
  interim financial statements are consistent with 
   those set out in the 
  Company's annual financial statements for the year 
   ended 31 March 2022. 
  Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 
   2022 were approved by the 
  Board of Directors on 4 March 2023 and delivered 
   to the Registrar 
  of Companies. The report of the independent auditor 
   on those accounts 
  was unqualified. 
 
  The financial information for the six months ended 
   30 September 2022 
  has not been reviewed. As permitted, the Company 
   has chosen not to 
  adopt IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" in 
   preparing this interim 
  financial information. 
 
  Risks and uncertainties 
 
  The Board continually assesses and monitors the 
   key risks of the business. 
  The key risks that could affect the Company's medium-term 
   performance 
  and the factors that mitigate those risks have 
   not substantially changed 
  from those discussed in the Financial Statements 
   to 31 March 2022. 
 
  Critical accounting 
   estimates 
 
  The preparation of the condensed interim financial 
   statements requires 
  management to make estimates and assumptions that 
   affect the reported 
  amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure 
   of contingent assets and 
  liabilities at the end of the reporting period. 
   Significant items subject to 
  estimates are set out in the accounting policies 
   of the Company's Financial 
  Statements to 31 March 
   2022. 
 
  The Directors of the issuer are responsible 
   for the content of this 
  announcement.
