DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
The Director presents their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2024.
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
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 to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The loss for the year, after taxation, amounted to £4,415,840 (2023 - profit £526,873).
No dividends were declared in either the current or prior period.
The Directors who served during the year were:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GH BRIGHTON LIMITED
UNDER SECTION 449 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
We have audited the financial statements of GH Brighton Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 May 2024, which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The 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 Company's affairs as at 31 May 2024 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.
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.
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 Company'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 Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GH BRIGHTON LIMITED (CONTINUED)
UNDER SECTION 449 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
The other information comprises the information included in the Director's Report other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Director's Report. Our 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.
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 has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' report.

GH BRIGHTON LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GH BRIGHTON LIMITED (CONTINUED)
UNDER SECTION 449 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
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. We have identified the greatest risk of a material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to relate to the timing and recognition of revenue, the valuation of loans held at amortised cost and said recoverability of such loans, the recognition of swaps at fair value, and the override of controls by management. We have obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates within including both those that directly have an impact on the financial statements and more widely those for which non-compliance could have a significant impact on the Company’s operations and reputation. We have identified The Companies Act 2006 and UK tax law in this regard. Auditing standards limit the required procedures as to non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiries of those charged with governance and review of any applicable correspondence.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
∙Assessing the reasonableness of revenue recognised in the period based on contractual terms and obligations of the Company's debtor loan and the requirement of accounting standards;
∙Reviewing and challenging the underlying assumptions and valuation methodology used for the valuation of the Company's loans including assessing the reasonableness of valuation inputs and assumptions in the context of market available data to assess for indicators of management bias;
∙Reviewing and challenging the underlying assumptions and valuation methodology used for the fair valuation of the Company's swap instruments including assessing the reasonableness of valuation inputs and assumptions in the context of market available data to assess for indicators of management bias; and
∙Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
GH Brighton Limited is a private company, limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales, registered number
2.Accounting policies
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3). These financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £. The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide additional evidence of conditions existing at the reporting date are considered adjusting events, and the financial statements are adjusted accordingly.
Non-adjusting post-balance sheet events are those that indicate conditions arising after the reporting date. No adjustments have been made in respect of the cessation of rental payments by a key tenant of a related party, as this is deemed a non-adjusting event. Management continues to monitor the situation for any future financial impact.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The director has considered the impact of the post-balance sheet (refer to note 14) and the resulting loan default event on the Company’s going concern assessment. The director cites that the Company’s lenders have agreed to take no enforcement action at present, although they reserve their rights to do so. The director also cites that legal action is underway by the Company’s borrower to recoup amounts owed from its tenant or the tenant’s guarantor. Having undertaken this assessment, the Director considers it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Revenue is derived from interest which is recognised using the effective interest method, which takes into account related fees and transaction costs.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date. Fair value gains and losses are recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.
To qualify for hedge accounting, the Company documents the hedged item, the hedging instrument and the hedging relationship between them and the causes of hedge ineffectiveness. The Company elects to adopt hedge accounting for interest rate swaps and inflation rate swaps (the 'swaps') where: To better reflect the nature of the long term financing structure in operation and in a modification to accounting standards, all cumulative hedging gains or losses on the hedged item are recognised as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. The treatment better reflects the financing profile in operation across the life of the structure.
