Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 January 2025

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 January 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The Residential rental sector (low risk) is expected to remain strong, with the impact of higher interest rates, inflation and reduction of disposable income, affecting affordability for private buyers.

The overall size & diversity of the portfolio has given stability & protection from changes in market values & rents received.

Public Houses / Commercial properties are leased (not managed) which has given us protection from the recruitment challenges experienced in many sectors. The significant downturn in Public House rents experienced last year has now reversed.

Commercial properties may have to be adapted in some instances i.e., large office buildings, due to the continued trend of working from home.

Compared to the pandemic the current challenges faced across the portfolio i.e., cost of living crisis (energy costs etc) is not as sizeable & were themselves managed very well.

The Directors therefore are confident in anticipating similar levels of activity in the forthcoming year, returning sizeable profits despite ongoing investment & that the Balance sheet net asset position therefore is well protected.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The company's principal risks and uncertainties are:

- The general economic climate and the ability of tenants to maintain rental agreements; and

- Changes in the market value of the property portfolio affecting the availability of long term loan finance.

Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 January 2025

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
The Elizabeth Estates Board have considered the requirements of Section 172 (1) reporting in the preparation of these financial statements. In making any key decision, the Board will always take into consideration the following factors (amongst others):

a) the likely consequences of any decision in the short, mid, and long term,
b) the interests of the company's employees are measured and considered

c) the need to foster the company's business relationships with suppliers, customers, and any interaction with third party
business partners,
d) the impact of the company's operations on the local community and the general environment,

e) the desirability of the company and its officers maintaining a strong reputation for high standards of business conduct and
ethics,
f) the need to act fairly and without favour, and to be seen to do so, with all employees within the Group of companies.

The Board consider key decisions in the context of the above areas and record how these decisions have been made. Key decisions are defined as those listed as principal Agenda items, at a Board meeting, held from time to time.

The Board meet regularly throughout the year, both in person when appropriate, but also by 'Teams Meeting'. Therefore, all decisions are discussed in depth and considerations and conclusions recorded in the minutes. These decisions are also referenced against the business' codes of conduct and ethics, and in line with the industry recognised Trade Body's guidelines (in accordance with current EU and UK requirements), thus enabling the Directors to comply with their duties under S172 of the Companies Act 2006.

Our People
Our team are critical to the delivery of a positive customer experience across all aspects of our business. This has been recognised for a long period of time but has been brought more into focus because of the pandemic.

The business has significantly increased engagement with team members, through multiple communication channels including adopting new technology platforms to allow staff feedback via the Group HR system that all employees have access to, as well as frequent business updates and regular team meetings. Wherein not only are business decisions influenced, but where the contribution of each team member is recognised and encouraged.

The cascading of business plans and initiatives are tabled, and the increased value of 'listening sessions' are at the forefront to focus on increased health and wellbeing support for team members.

The Group encourages where possible, internal promotions and for staff to move between resorts, which increases an employee's responsibilities and experience alongside enhancing their career.

Our Customers
We recognise that our rental customers have made a substantial financial commitment during their tenure, and we encourage their feedback through exit surveys and online review platforms.

Our Directors
Our Directors have been the owners of the Company and business for over 10 years and their experience and industry knowledge are critical to shaping the future direction of their company. Their views are paramount of importance and value in all decision making. Their initiatives and considerations are tabled to the Board and create the backbone for all future strategic and directional decision making.

Our Suppliers
Our suppliers play a key part in enabling us to deliver a leading level of product and service to our customers. We seek to choose the best products and services to meet our requirements, and then develop effective, long-term relationships with the suppliers to create strong and enduring value over time. We review supplier performance regularly and have a formal cycle of re-tendering key supply contracts in place to ensure that products and services continue to be delivered in line with expectations for both our business and our customers.

We also ensure that all suppliers are engaged in discussing their own corporate and social responsibilities with our management team, on a regular basis, and we seek synergy in their outlook and future planning. We seek to acquire local produce and materials, and have local supplier preference to national contracts, albeit that can in turn mean at a greater cost.

The Broader Community & Environment
The Board and management are committed to ensuring that our operations are an integral part of the communities in which they are sited. We recognise our responsibilities in that regard and seek to ensure that we also support the community by sourcing produce locally and supporting local businesses and charities where appropriate with the general management team encouraged to engage directly with local community needs and local authorities.


Elizabeth Estates Ltd (Registered number: 01071691)

Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 January 2025

The Board are also committed to ensuring that our business closely considers its impact on the environment in all its operations and continues to work closely with local planning authorities as well as environmental agencies and service providers in this regard.

The Board believes culture and ethos to be key in achieving long-term success and growth. Our high standards of business conduct are the direct result of a culture that focuses not only on achieving high levels of performance and maximising efficiency but doing so in a way that is sustainable and reflects our Directors' family values.

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The key financial performance indicators used by the directors are rents received of £259,813 (2024: £246,418), operating profit of £148,881 (2024: £137,850) and valuation of investment properties at £3,495,000 (2024: £3,495,000).

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The company aims to minimise financial risk in its operations by the identification and mitigation of key risk areas. The key areas of risk identified by the directors are interest rate risk and liquidity risk.

Where appropriate the directors will consider the fixing of interest rates, otherwise floating rate facilities are generally used.

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT
There are certain elements disclosed in the strategic report that would usually be in the directors report during the year.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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:

-select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the
financial statements;
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

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 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.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

Report of the Directors
for the Year Ended 31 January 2025


AUDITORS
The auditors, Xeinadin Audit Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





R W Lang - Director


21 July 2025

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Elizabeth Estates Ltd

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Elizabeth Estates Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 January 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements, 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 January 2025 and of its profit 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.

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 company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'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 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.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.

Opinions 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 Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors 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 company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Elizabeth Estates Ltd


Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page five, 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 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.

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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

- enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity’s solicitors around actual and potential litigation and
claims;
- enquiry of entity staff in tax and compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
- reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
- reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable 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.

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 Report of the Auditors.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, 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 a Report of the Auditors 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 as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

for the Year Ended 31 January 2025

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Elizabeth Estates Ltd is a private company , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":

the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
the requirements of paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
the requirement of paragraph 33.7.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the rent and services consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. Any revaluation gains or losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. Revaluations shall be made with sufficiently regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period.

Investment property
Investment properties for which fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort are measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value through profit or loss if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.

Financial instruments
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value.
