DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' report and the financial statements, in accordance with applicable law.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the UK.

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 affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the UK, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

assess the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and

use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KWG PROPERTY (UK) HOLDINGS LIMITED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of KWG Property (UK) Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of profit or loss and comprehensive incomethe Statement of financial positionthe Statement of changes in equitythe Statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies set out on pages 12 - 16. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the United Kingdom.

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of its loss for the year then ended;

have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the United Kingdom; and

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material uncertainty related to going concern


We draw attention to note 2.3 in the financial statements, which explains that the company is dependent on its parent company for financial support. However, the parent company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 disclose the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If the parent company was unable to continue to support the company, this would indicate a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KWG PROPERTY (UK) HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)


Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.  The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual reportOur opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006


In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

the information given in the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
the directors were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the directors' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.  


Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement on page 3, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KWG PROPERTY (UK) HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)


Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the real estate sector and international groups;
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and employment legislation;
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management; and
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
tested a sample of journal entries to identify unusual transactions; and
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
reviewing correspondence with HM Revenue and Customs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KWG PROPERTY (UK) HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)


Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
 
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our Report


This report is made solely to the company's members in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1.


General information

KWG Property (UK) Holdings Limited (the 'company') is a limited company incorporated in England and Wales. The company's registered office is at 16 Great Queen Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2B 5AH.
The company's principal activity is property development for residential and commercial purposes.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), which is the same as the company's functional currency.


2.Accounting policies


2.1

Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance and basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the United Kingdom including standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRSs. They have been prepared using historical cost convention.
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management's best judgement at the date of the financial statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, then the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the year in which the circumstances change.


2.2

Prior period adjustment

The comparative figures in the statement of cash flows have been restated, to correctly present the funds received from the parent company as cash-flows from financing activities, rather than cash-flows from operating activities as shown previously. This reclassification has no effect on the company’s total cash-flows for the year ended 31 December 2021 or the cash position of the company at that date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.3

Going concern

At 31 December 2022, the company had net liabilities of £570,836 (2021: £507,621).
The company has been established to look for and undertake UK property development projects. The company has not as yet identified any opportunities and thus its ongoing funding requirements are limited. The company is therefore dependent on its parent company to provide funding as and when necessary,  to meet its commitment and obligations as they fall due. 
However, the consolidated financial statements issued by the parent company for the year ended 31 December 2023 on 27 March 2024 disclose that the Group incurred a net loss of RMB18,979,296,000 (£2,103,000,000) for the year ended 31 December 2023 and as of that date, the Group had net current liabilities of approximately RMB27,447,870,000 (£3,040,000,000), the Group's bank and other borrowings of approximately RMB41,087,060,000 (£4,552,000,000) that were repayable within one year while its cash and bank balances amounted to approximately RMB1,719,395,000 (£190,000,000). In addition, as at 31 December 2023 and up to the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements, the Group did not repay the principal and interest payable of several USD denominated senior notes, bank and other borrowings. As a result, such non-repayment has constituted an event of default or cross default on various borrowings pursuant to the terms and conditions of respective agreements. The aggregate principal and interest payables of the said USD denominated senior notes and bank and other borrowings in default or cross default were approximately RMB32,829,439,000 (£3,637,000,000) as of 31 December 2023. The directors of the parent company disclosed in the financial statements that these conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The directors are of the opinion that because of the company's dependency on its parent company for support and the aforementioned uncertainties disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company, these indicate a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding this, the parent company has indicated its willingness to continue providing financial support for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.4

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The company’s policies for its major classes of financial assets and financial liabilities are set out below. 
Financial assets
Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held with banks.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. The fair value of a non-interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the due date of the liability is less than one year, discounting is omitted.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. 
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. 
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.4

Financial instruments (continued)

Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. 
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.


2.5

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.6

Taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Current tax is the amount of income tax payable in respect of taxable profit for the year or prior years.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. 
Deferred tax arises from timing differences that are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements. These timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.


2.7

Adoption of new and revised standards and changes in accounting policies

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the company.

Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the company's financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial statements.

Factors that may affect future tax charges
In the Spring Budget 2021, the UK Government announced that from 1 April 2023 the corporation tax rate would increase to 25% for companies with profits of over £250,000. A small profits rate will also be introduced for companies with profits of £50,000 or less so that they will continue to pay corporation tax at 19%. From this date companies with profits between £50,000 and £250,000 will pay tax at the main rate reduced by a marginal relief providing a gradual increase in the effective corporation tax rate. This new law was substantively enacted on 24 May 2021. Deferred taxes at the balance sheet date have been measured using these enacted tax rates and reflected in these financial statements.
The company has unused tax losses of £530,000 (2021: £467,000) for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised.

Financial instruments - fair values and risk management

Interest rate risk management
The entity has no interest bearing assets or liabilities and therefore the directors consider interest rate risk to be minimal.
Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of suffering financial loss, should any of the company’s receivables fail to fulfil their contractual obligations to the company. As the company has no receivables, the directors do not consider there is any exposure to credit risk.
Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company is unable to meet its obligations when they fall due. The main liability the company has is the amount due to its parent company. 
At 31 December 2022, an amount of £540,866 (2021: £479,566) was due to the parent company. 
The directors do not consider this to be a significant risk, as they have received confirmation from the parent company that it will continue to provide the company with the necessary financial support.
