Principal activities
 
 
The principal activity of the Limited Liability Partnership is to design, build, finance and manage student accomodation at Kingston University for the period of 52 years from July 2020 to August 2072, pursuant to project agreement dates 29 July 2020. The construction of the new accomodation aims to achieve practical completion in September 2022. 
 
 
Designated Members
 
 
Equitix V Primary Infrastructure (Kingston) LP, Kingston Educational Investments Limited and KU Student Living Limited were designated members of the LLP throughout the period.
 

 
Members' capital and interests
 
 
Each member's subscription to the capital of the LLP is determined by their share of the profit and is repayable following retirement from the LLP.
 
 
Details of changes in members' capital in the ended 31 August 2023 are set out in the financial statements.
 
 
Members are remunerated from the profits of the LLP and are required to make their own provision for pensions and other benefits. Profits are allocated and divided between members after finalisation of the financial statements. Members draw a proportion of their profit shares monthly during the year in which it is made, with the balance of profits being distributed after the year, subject to the cash requirements of the business.
 

Members' responsibilities statement
 
 
The members are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
 
 
Company law, (as applied by The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008), requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the members have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law, (as applied by The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008) the members 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 LLP and of the profit or loss of the LLP for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the members are required to:
 
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
 
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
 
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the LLP will continue in business.
 

The members are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the LLP's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the LLP and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 (as applied by The

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KINGSTON STUDENT LIVING LLP
 

Opinion
 

We have audited the financial statements of Kingston Student Living LLP (the 'LLP') for the year ended 31 August 2023, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the LLP's affairs as at 31 August 2023 and of its loss for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, as applied to limited liability partnerships by The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008.


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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the LLP 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.


Conclusions relating to going concern
 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the LLP's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the members with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
 

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The members are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006, as applied to limited liability partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008 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
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


Responsibilities of members
 

As explained more fully in the Members' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 1, the members 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 members 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 members are responsible for assessing the LLP'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 members either intend to liquidate the LLP or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KINGSTON STUDENT LIVING LLP (CONTINUED)


Auditors' 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 Auditors' 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:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
• the responsible individual 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 LLP through discussions with directors and
        other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the infrastructure sector;
• 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 LLP, including the LLP Act;
• we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making    enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
• we ensured that the 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 LLP'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 and      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 journal entries to identify unusual transactions; and
• assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in
          Note 3 were indicative of potential bias.
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;
• reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
• enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
•  held discussions with those responsible for all health and safety compliance; and
• reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the LLP's legal expenditure.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KINGSTON STUDENT LIVING LLP (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 Auditors' Report.


Use of our report
 

This report is made solely to the LLP's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, as applied by Part 12 of The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Applications of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the LLP's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' 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 LLP and the LLP's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

1.


General information

Kingston Student Living LLP is a Limited Liability Partnership incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 3rd Floor, South Building, 200 Aldersgate Street, London, EC1A 4HD.
The limited liability partnership's principal activities are disclosed in the Members' Report. 

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships".

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the LLP's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Going concern

The members are aware of the impacts of Covid-19 and Brexit on the construction industry and as such the need to consider the impact on going concern in these financial statements. They consider that the details below are sufficient to continue to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis for at least 12 months from sign off:
•  the members are in regular contact with the construction company who have continued to     construct and have limited access to the site to all non-essential personnel in order to
  ensure minimal disruption. There is currently no reason to believe that the timetable for                      completion has been affected and this will continue to be closely monitored;
•  there are currently sufficient cash reserves in place to pay any short term liabilities as they     fall due;
•  the LLP is well protected in terms of financial risk and has hedged any risk in relation to the     bond;
•  there is also sufficient cash available to ensure construction can complete on time and still     continue to trade once operational.
The majority of the asset construction was completed in September 2022 and therefore the LLP began to receive rental income.
The board will continue to monitor any risks to going concern, however consider that there is sufficient mitigation of the risks above to ensure that the entity is able to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from sign off.
On this basis the members consider that the going concern basis is reasonable.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the LLP and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Construction Revenue
This is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable on construction of the non-residential site for which the entity has been requested to construct and represents the value of construction work in progress as construction progresses. Revenue on construction is recognised at cost with no margin as profitability is considered to be negligible with no interim services provided during construction and the risk fully passed down to the building contractor.
When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract turnover is recognised only to the extent of contract costs that are recoverable and the contract costs are expensed as incurred.
Income is also recognised on construction costs in line with 34.16C of FRS 102 where income is recognised for construction services for an intangible asset. This income is recognised at a nil margin and is for disclosure purposes only.
Pass through revenue
This relates to income from third parties which is received to cover costs incurred on behalf of a separate third party. Such costs tend to be for related parties of the Partnership.

 
2.4

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as it accrues.

 
2.5

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.6

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year in which they are incurred.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.7

Assets under construction

During the construction phase of the project, construction costs are included in the LLP's Balance Sheet within intangible fixed assets under assets under construction. Costs incurred in respect of future activity on the contract are capitalised only to the extent it is probable they will be recovered. This is valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. 
The recorded costs comprise directly attributable costs incurred during the period on the construction including construction costs, associated legal and professional fees and insurance. 
Upon completion, associated construction costs, having been capitalised to the Balance Sheet will be transferred to the relevant asset category and will be amortised over the life of the asset to the concession end in 2072 in line with note 2.10.

  
2.8

Capitalised interest and inflation

The asset under construction will take a substantial period of time to be ready for its intended use and as such, interest costs and inflation have been capitalised as part of the cost of assets under construction in line with FRS102. The commencement of capitalisation begins when both finance costs and expenditure for the assets are being incurred and activities that are necessary to get the assets ready for use are in progress. Capitalisation ceases when substantially all the activities that are necessary to get the assets ready for use are complete.

 
2.9

Division and distribution of profits

A division of profits is the mechanism by which the profits of an LLP become a debt due to members. A division may be automatic or discretionary, may relate to some or all of the profits for a financial period and may take place during or after the end of a financial period.

An automatic division of profits is one where the LLP does not have an unconditional right to avoid making a division of an amount of profits based on the members' agreement in force at the time, whereas a discretionary division of profits requires a decision to be made by the LLP, which it has the unconditional right to avoid making.

The LLP divides profits automatically. Automatic divisions of profits are recognised as 'Members' remuneration charged as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

In the event of the LLP making losses, the loss is recognised as a credit amount of 'Members' remuneration charged as an expense where it is automatically divided or as a debit within equity under 'Other reserves' if not divided automatically.

The LLP classifies distributions of profits as operating cash flows in the Statement of Cash Flows.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.10

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The LLP believes that this is an infrastructure asset with the right to charge for use of the infrastructure assets to the University, either directly or via a 3rd party who would then take letting risk on a similar arrangement to the existing one with the University.
The intangible asset will be amortised over the length of the concession through to August 2072, at which point ownership passes to the University. The asset became operational in September 2022, therefore amortisation was charged from September 2022 on a 50 year straight line basis.

 
2.11

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.12

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. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the LLP's cash management.

 
2.13

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.14

Financial instruments

The LLP has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the LLP's Balance Sheet when the LLP becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless

Financial instruments (continued)

the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The LLP's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. 

Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.

If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the LLP after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

2.14
Financial instruments (continued)

Other financial instruments

Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.

Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the LLP transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the LLP will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the LLP's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

2.15

Member's participation rights

Members' participation rights are the rights of a member against the LLP that arise under the members' agreement (for example, in respect of amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed remuneration and profits).
Members' participation rights in the earnings or assets of the LLP are analysed between those that are, from the LLP's perspective, either a financial liability or equity, in accordance with section 22 of FRS 102. A member's participation rights including amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed by members, for example members' capital, are classed as liabilities unless the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment to members, in which case they are classified as equity.
Profits are divided only after a decision by the LLP or its representative, so the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment. Such profits are classed as equity rather than as liabilities. They are therefore shown as a residual amount available for discretionary division among members in arriving at the result for the year and are shown as appropriations of equity when they are allocated. 
Losses are allocated between the members in their relevant proportion and shall be classified as equity rather than liabilities. The members are not required to make additional contributions to cover any potential losses. 
All amounts due to members that are classified as liabilities are presented within 'Loans and other debts due to members' and, where such an amount relates to current year profits, they are recognised within 'Members' remuneration charged as an expense' in arriving at the relevant year's result. Undivided amounts that are classified as equity are shown within 'Members' other interests'. Amounts recoverable from members are presented as debtors and shown as amounts due from members within members' interests. 

  
2.16

Taxation

The taxation payable on the partnership profits is solely the liability of the individual members, consequently neither partnership taxation no related deferred taxation arising in respect of the partnership are accounted for in these financial statements.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the financial period are as follows: 
Classification of asset
The LLP has entered into a project agreement with Kingston University London as well as a leaseback arrangement for two sites upon which student accommodation has been built. The Project Agreement governs the relationship between the University and the LLP including terms of use of the University brand in marketing material, the general actions of the LLP and University as landlord and operator. Management consider that as the LLP takes full occupancy and demand risk associated with the provision of the accomodation, that the building will be fully amortised during the concession and therefore full value of those assets will be exhausted during the concession, and that the partnership has the ability to exercise control over the user of the asset, then the LLP should account for the asset of the concession on its balance sheet. The LLP believes that this is an infrastructure asset with the right to charge for use of the infrastructure assets to the University, either directly or via a third party who would then take letting risk on similar arrangement to the existing one with the University. 
Construction margin
Revenue on construction is recognised at cost with no margin as profitability is considered to be negligible with no interim services provided during construction and the risk fully passed down to the building contractor. 
Capitalisation of costs
During the period of construction, all costs incurred as a direct result of financing, designing and constructing the student accomodation, have been capitalised, The members consider this to be appropriate since the risks and rewards of ownership rest with the LLP.
Index-linked guaranteed secured bonds
The measurement of the future cash flows associated with the bond, and therefore the effective cost of borrowing, requires the members to apply their judgement to the long-term rate if RPI increase expected for the period through to February 2055.

Whilst the site was operational and receiving rent during the entire period, it had not been officially signed off, and as such has remained in asset under construction until the final completion certificate has been received. Amortisation has been charged to reflect the fact that the asset was revenue generating.
