22 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
There are performance bonds and other engagements, including those in respect of joint venture partners, undertaken in the
ordinary course of business from which it is anticipated that no material liabilities will arise.
In the ordinary course of business the Group enters into certain land purchase contracts with vendors on a conditional
exchange basis. The conditions must be satisfied for the Group to recognise the land asset and corresponding liability
within the consolidated statement of financial position. No contingent liability in respect of conditional land
acquisitions has been recognised.
The Group provides for all known material legal actions, where having taken appropriate legal advice as to the likelihood
of success of the actions, it is considered probable that an outflow of economic resource will be required, and the amount
can be reliably measured. No contingent liability in respect of such claims has been recognised.

NOTES TO THE COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31st October 2017
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Crest Nicholson Holdings plc (the 'Company') is a company incorporated, listed and domiciled in England and Wales. The
address of the registered office is Crest House, Pyrcroft Road, Chertsey, Surrey KT16 9GN. The Company financial statements
have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101 'Reduced Disclosure
Framework' ('FRS 101'), in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies using FRS 101, and have been
prepared on the historical cost basis.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS 101 requires management to make assumptions and judgements
that affect the application of policies and reported amounts within the financial statements. Assumptions and judgements
are based on experience and other factors that management consider reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling and amounts stated are denominated in millions (£m). The
accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material.
These financial statements present information about the Company as an individual undertaking and not about its group.
Under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 the Company is exempt from the requirement to present its own profit and loss
account. The Company recorded a profit for the financial year of £14.7m (2016: £18.0m).
As outlined in FRS 101 paragraph 8(a) the Company is exempt from the requirements of paragraphs 45(b) and 46 to 52 of IFRS
2 'Share-based Payments'. This exemption has been taken in the preparation of these financial statements.
As outlined in FRS 101 paragraph 8(d-e) the Company is exempt from the requirements of IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments:
Disclosures', and from the requirements of paragraphs 91 to 99 of IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement'. These exemptions have
been taken in the preparation of these financial statements.
As outlined in FRS 101 paragraph 8(h) the Company is exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement on the
grounds that a parent undertaking includes the Company in its own published consolidated financial statements. This
exemption has been taken in the preparation of these financial statements.
As outlined in FRS 101 paragraph 8(i) the Company is exempt from the requirement to provide information about the impact of
IFRS that have been issued but are not yet effective. This exemption has been taken in the preparation of these financial
statements.
Under FRS 101 paragraph 8(j) the Company is exempt from the requirement to disclose related-party transactions with its
subsidiary undertakings on the grounds that they are wholly owned subsidiary undertakings of Crest Nicholson Holdings plc.
This exemption has been taken in the preparation of these financial statements.
The Company is the holding company of the principal trading entity of the Group headed by Crest Nicholson Holdings plc (the
'Group'). The Group financial statements, which include all the above exemptions can be obtained from Crest House,
Pyrcroft Road, Chertsey, Surrey KT16 9GN. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are cross-guarantors to the debt
facilities of the Group. Accordingly, the Directors have considered the Group's position for the purposes of assessing the
use of the going concern basis.
The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all years presented in
these financial statements.
There were no new standards, amendments or interpretations that were adopted by the Company and effective for the first
time for the financial year beginning 1st November 2016 that had a material impact on the Company.
The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Investments
Investments in Group undertakings are included in the statement of financial position at cost less any provision for
impairment.
Taxation
Income tax comprises current tax and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the Company's income statement except to the
extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income, in which case it is also recognised in other
comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable profit for the year and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of
previous years. Taxable profit is profit before tax per the Company's income statement after adjusting for income and
expenditure that is not subject to tax, and for items that are subject to tax in other accounting periods. The Company's
liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of
financial position date. Where uncertain tax liabilites exist, the liability recognised is assessed as the amount that is
probable to be payable.
Deferred tax is provided in full on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary
differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that have been substantively enacted by the
statement of financial position date.
Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company's financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the shareholders.
Interim dividends are recognised when paid.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at their fair value at the date of recognition and subsequently at amortised cost
less impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is made when there is evidence that the Company will not
be able to collect the amounts due.
Audit fee
Auditors' remuneration for audit of these financial statements of £10,815 (2016: £10,500) was met by Crest Nicholson plc.
No disclosure of other non-audit services has been made as this is included within Note 3 of the consolidated financial
statements.
2 DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES
The Company had no employees during either year. Details of Directors' emoluments, which were paid by another Group
company, are set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report.
