2 Accounting policies (continued)
Disclosure exemptions for subsidiaries are permitted where the relevant disclosure requirements are met in the

Going concern
The Directors have reviewed the company’s forecast working capital and cash flow requirements, in addition to
making enquiries and examining areas which could give risk to financial exposure.
At 31 March 2023 the company was in a net liability position of £1,795,727 (2022: £7,230,016 liability) mainly due to
market rates being below the fixed rate payable on the company’s interest rate swap. Within the going concern period
the Company is required to repay principal amounts of £37,301,720 on the secured bonds and receive £37,301,720
on the term loans from Meadowhall Limited Partnership (the borrower).
In the instance of a shortfall on repayment of the term loan by the borrower due to lower rents received from tenants,
the Company has access to an undrawn Liquidity Facility of £75m which will be available for the scheduled life of the
bonds to 2032, to meet certain shortfalls in debt service of the Issuer, including bond interest and certain bond
amortisation amounts. The company also has the ability to defer other debt service amounts if required.
As a result of the above, Meadowhall Finance PLC expects to have sufficient resources to meet the debt service
requirements of the Company. Therefore, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has
adequate resources to continue its operations for at least twelve months after the signing of these financial
statements and as a result they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.
Adoption status of relevant new financial reporting standards and interpretations
In the current year the Company has adopted a number of minor amendments to standards effective in the year
issued by the IASB, none of which have had a material impact on the Company. These include amendments to IAS
16, IAS 37, IFRS 3 and annual improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020. Several amendments to standards and
interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective for the current accounting period. These include
amendments to IAS 12, IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2. These have not yet been adopted by the Company.
The amendments listed above did not have any material impact on amounts recognised in prior years, and are not
expected to significantly affect current and future years.
Interest payable and receivable policy
Interest payable and receivable is recognised as incurred under the accruals concept. Interest payable includes
financing charges which are spread over the period to redemption, using the effective interest method. Commitment
fees on non-utilised facilities are also included within interest payable.
Taxation
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
years.
Current tax is based on taxable profit for the year and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss
account because it excludes items of income or expense that are not taxable (or tax deductible).
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided on items that may become taxable at a later date, on the difference between the balance
sheet value and tax base value, on an undiscounted basis. The company recognises deferred tax assets on
derivative revaluations to the extent that future matching taxable profits are expected to arise.
