  Material uncertainty over going concern

  We draw attention to the going concern note included in accounting policies in these financial statements, which indicates that the company has debts due for repayment within 12 months of the balance sheet date. This relates to Senior Secured Notes ("SSNs") maturing in October 2026. The directors note that, in the absence of a solvent solution being enacted, the company would not be able to repay the debts at maturity in October 2026. The directors have undertaken a review of the strategic options with their financial and legal advisors. However, without confirmed refinancing or funding in place as at the date of this report, this constitutes a material uncertainty which may cast doubt over the company's ability to continue as a going concern. As stated in the going concern note included in accounting policies, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in this note to the financial statements, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Significant events

• “Long-term interest rates increased slightly at year end compared to year-end 2024 and have since increased further, despite short term rates falling. Should the current level continue, or further increases occur, this will negatively impact the company's valuation of its portfolio.”
• “The government has committed to further leasehold reform. In January 2026, the government published the CLRB. Within this, amongst other things, the government has proposed to introduce a cap of £250 pa on ground rents, effective from 2028, with no inflation thereafter until moving ground rents to a peppercorn (i.e. zero) in 2068. The directors are assessing the potential for legal challenges to this, as well as seeking to establish in the contrary an exemption for the portfolio on a "quid pro quo" basis. Should this not be successful, and should the CLRB be brought into statute largely in its current form, the valuation of the company's portfolio would be significantly reduced.”
• “The government has also indicated that it will look further into the way that any CLRB enactment would interface with LAFRA, and, accordingly, it is unclear as to whether the 0.1% limit of ground rent to lease premium for enfranchisement valuation would continue to apply.”
• “The outcome of an appeal hearing sought by six litigating freeholders to the legality of LAFRA is outstanding. Should this appeal be allowed, and subsequently be successful, it is possible that this would have an impact on the application of LAFRA and potentially the CLRB.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
