| • | the requirements of |
| - | paragraphs 1 to 44E, 44H(b)(ii) and 45 to 63 of IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. |

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all material timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at the date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more tax with the following exceptions: |
| 1) The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that the Company anticipates making sufficient taxable profits in the future to absorb the reversal of the underlying timing differences. |
| 2) Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. |

| Going concern |
| London BTR Investments (NW) Holdings Limited ("the Company") incurred a profit after tax of £1k for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: loss £0.06k) with net assets of £77.6m (2023: The directors acknowledge that the continuing ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations and continue as a going concern is dependent on the support of their lenders. |
| The Company's subsidiaries form part of a sub-group which has provided guarantees in respect of the third party debt provided to fund that sub-group. The directors have reviewed the trading prospects and projected cash flows of both the business and the debt sub-group of which it forms part. This included the re-tendering of construction contracts relating to two sites which were originally contracted to be constructed by Inland Homes plc, which entered administration in October 2023. Following the administration, contract works on the two sites were re-tendered to third parties with a view to contracting with alternative parties to enable completion of the developments. A new construction contract is now in place for one site and construction work re-commenced in December 2024. The re-tendering process is at an advanced stage on the second site and nearing finalisation. Once complete, this will enable the construction work to recommence on that site. As a result of cost inflation and reflecting that the replacement contractors are taking on partially completed works, the re-tendering process has highlighted that there will be cost increases in comparison to the original contracts with Inland Homes plc. Receipts under bonds taken out at the time of the original acquisition of the Inland Homes sites together with retentions will be utilised to offset the majority of these increased costs. Any shortfall would be expected to be met by additional equity from the joint venture partners in London BTR Investments LP. |
| The Administration of Inland Homes plc triggered a breach of covenants relating to certain of the sub- group's bank facilities. However, the Group has strong relationships with its lenders and continues to work and communicate with them to find an optimum solution to the benefit of all stakeholders. The lenders remain supportive and the Board is confident that it will be able to resolve the breach and enable debt funding to resume once the contract re-tendering is complete and construction re-commences. |
| Pending finalisation of the appointment of alternative contractors under the remaining construction contract to the satisfaction of lenders, the debt sub-group will remain in breach of the bank facilities related to these sites. As a result of this technical breach, the lenders may call upon their debt at short notice and as such the debt related to these facilities has been classified as repayable on demand. The Board expects to resolve this situation following the appointment of an alternative contractor and finalisation of a new construction contract on the site where this has not already been completed. This process is at an advanced stage and once complete, the construction work will recommence. The directors consider that action by the lenders to call upon its debt is unlikely, but acknowledge that this represents a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. |
| The Company expects, over the coming years, to continue to finance its operations through a combination of equity and debt financing. |
| The directors believe that adopting the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements is appropriate. The directors are making full disclosure, as required by accounting standards, to indicate the existence of a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. |
| Based on the above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that there are adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future whilst acknowledging that the continuing ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations and continue as a going concern is dependent on the support of their lenders and shareholders. Nevertheless, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. |
| 3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION |
| In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| There are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. |
