DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 1 -

The Directors present their annual report and audited financial statements for Liverpool Holdings Limited (the "Company") for the year ended 31 December 2025.

 

In preparing this report, the Company has taken advantage of the exemption provided by section 414B of the Companies Act 2006 in not preparing a Strategic Report under the small companies exemption.

Principal activities

The principal activity of the Company is the development and operation of purpose-built student accommodation in Liverpool.

Results and dividends

The results for the year are set out on page 7. The Company made a loss before taxation of £4,606,341 (2024: £935,149), of which £3,460,319 (2024: £772,964) arose from a fair value loss on the revaluation of the investment property.

 

No ordinary dividends were paid. The Directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.

 

Business performance

The Company has had a successful year, completing the development of its student accommodation investment property. With construction now finished, the business has shifted its focus to letting the accommodation and building occupancy. Initial interest from students has been encouraging, and the Company is concentrating on effective marketing and property management to maximise rental income in the coming year.

 

Directors

The Directors who held office during the year and up to the date of approval of the financial statements were as follows:

 

Mr C N Saverino
(Resigned 6 June 2025)
Mr O P Cummings
Mr J Carter
(Appointed 5 June 2025)
Qualifying third party indemnity provisions

The Company has made qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of its Directors during the year. These provisions remain in force at the reporting date.

 

Charitable donations

During the year the Company made no charitable donations.

Future developments

The Directors are confident the Company will achieve stable revenue once the accommodation is fully leased. Focus continues to be on increasing occupancy over the next financial year as students secure high-quality accommodation for their studies.

 

The Directors are satisfied that the property’s location will continue to appeal to students and academic institutions, supporting strong demand. These factors, together with careful cost management, are expected to drive profitability in the future.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Going concern

The Directors have conducted an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, considering the available resources and expected obligations for the period to 30 June 2027, (the “going concern period”). The Directors have prepared a detailed forecast of expected operational outgoings, incorporating severe but plausible downside risks, and has considered projected operational income, expenditure, and financing costs during the going concern period. This assessment reflects the current economic environment and recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East. As at 31 December 2025, the Company has net current liabilities of £786,232 (2024: £2,326,122) and net assets of £11,323,646 (2024: £7,301,910). The Company’s activities are funded through a combination of an external financing facility and equity funding from its shareholder, CIM Zenith UK Holdings Limited, which is ultimately funded by CIM Zenith Master Holdings Limited and, in turn, by CI Student Strat 1 LP.

 

The Directors have determined that a material uncertainty exists relating to the maturity of the loan due on 21 July 2027 and the Company’s ability to satisfy the conditions required to extend the facility for a further seven‑month period. This uncertainty may cast significant doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, consequently, its ability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Notwithstanding this material uncertainty, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to meet the conditions necessary to extend the loan facility or, alternatively, secure replacement financing. This expectation is based on ongoing discussions with the lender and other financing counterparties. Accordingly, the Directors have concluded that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Auditor

Ernst & Young LLP were re-appointed as auditor to the Company and in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution proposing that they be re-appointed will be put at a General Meeting.

Statement of disclosure to auditor

So far as each person who was a Director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company’s auditor is unaware. Additionally, the Directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as Directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s auditor is aware of that information.

Subsequent events

Details of any events after the reporting date are set out in note 19.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 3 -

The Directors are responsible for preparing the annual 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 including FRS 101 “Reduced Disclosure Framework" (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 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 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.

 

LIVERPOOL HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBER OF LIVERPOOL HOLDINGS LIMITED
- 4 -
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Liverpool Holdings Limited (the ‘Company’) for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Income Statement, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes 1 to 19, including material accounting policy information. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including FRS 101 “Reduced Disclosure Framework (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

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 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.

Material uncertainties relating to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company has a material uncertainty relating to its ability to meet the conditions required to extend the maturity of the loan due on 21 July 2027 for a further seven month period.

 

As stated in Note 1.2, these events or conditions indicate that material uncertainties exist that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a 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. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant section of this report. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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 report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this 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 the 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:

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 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:

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Directors’ responsibilities statement set out 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.

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.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud.  The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.

Our approach was as follows:

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at https://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 member, 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 member 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 member, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

New and amended accounting standards that have been issued but are not yet effective

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Company has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:

 

- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2026)

- IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements (effective from 1 January 2027)

- IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (effective from 1 January 2027)

 

With the exception of IFRS 18, the effect of which the Directors are currently assessing, it is not expected that the adoption of the standards listed above will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company in future periods.

1.2
Going concern

The Directors have conducted an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, considering the available resources and expected obligations for the period to 30 June 2027, (the “going concern period”). The Directors have prepared a detailed forecast of expected operational outgoings, incorporating severe but plausible downside risks, and has considered projected operational income, expenditure, and financing costs during the going concern period. This assessment reflects the current economic environment and recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East. As at 31 December 2025, the Company has net current liabilities of £786,232 (2024: £2,326,122) and net assets of £11,323,646 (2024: £7,301,910). The Company’s activities are funded through a combination of an external financing facility and equity funding from its shareholder, CIM Zenith UK Holdings Limited, which is ultimately funded by CIM Zenith Master Holdings Limited and, in turn, by CI Student Strat 1 LP.

 

The Directors have determined that a material uncertainty exists relating to the maturity of the loan due on 21 July 2027 and the Company’s ability to satisfy the conditions required to extend the facility for a further seven‑month period. This uncertainty may cast significant doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, consequently, its ability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Notwithstanding this material uncertainty, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to meet the conditions necessary to extend the loan facility or, alternatively, secure replacement financing. This expectation is based on ongoing discussions with the lender and other financing counterparties. Accordingly, the Directors have concluded that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

1.3
Revenue

Revenue represents variable lease income arising from property leased to a fellow group undertaking. Variable lease income that is dependent on the future performance of the lessee is excluded from the initial measurement of lease income. Such income is recognised in the income statement in the period in which the relevant performance conditions are met and the Company’s right to receive the consideration is established.

 

The Company’s property lease includes clauses for variable rent components, typically calculated as a percentage of the lessee’s net income. These clauses are designed to align rental payments with the financial performance of the lessee’s business at the leased location.

 

Transactions with the fellow group undertaking are conducted on terms agreed between the parties and are eliminated on consolidation in the Group financial statements.

1.4
Investment property

Investment property comprises property that is held, to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both.

 

Investment property comprises principally student accommodation substantially for use by, or in the operations of, the Company, nor for sale in the ordinary course of business, but are held primarily to earn rental income and capital appreciation.

 

Investment property is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Transaction costs include transfer taxes and professional fees for legal services to bring the property to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating.

 

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment property are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

1.5
Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

 

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

1.6
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

1.7
Financial assets

Financial assets are recognised in the Company's statement of financial position when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are classified into specified categories, depending on the nature and purpose of the financial assets. Subsequent measurement depends on the classification and is discussed below.

 

At initial recognition, financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and any transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets not classified as fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.

Financial assets held at amortised cost

Financial instruments are classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost where the objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. They arise principally from the provision of goods and services to customers (eg trade receivables). They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to their acquisition or issue, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment where necessary.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

 

The Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision. A broad range of information is considered when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.

1.8
Financial liabilities

The Company recognises financial liabilities when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial liabilities are classified as either 'financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss' or 'other financial liabilities'.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is held for trading. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:

 

 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For the purposes of each financial liability, interest expense includes initial transaction costs and any premium payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

1.9
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the Company.

1.10
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted, or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

 

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting period end that may have a significant risk of causing a material misstatement to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below:

In the application of the Company's accounting policies that are set out in note 1, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Directors have also made judgements about the going concern of the Company as described in note 1.2. 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 and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

The following are the Company's key sources of estimation uncertainty:

Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Fair value of investment property

The Company's investment property held is initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value through profit or loss at the end of the reporting period. Any unrealised gains or losses on this investment are recognised immediately in the income statement.

 

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, a liability settled, or an equity instrument granted could be exchanged, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.

 

The fair valuation of the property was carried out by an external third-party valuation expert for inclusion in the audited financial statements as part of quantifying the investment property held by the Company. Investment property is measured based on estimates except where such values cannot be reliably determined. The significant methods and assumptions used by valuers in estimating fair value of investment property are set out in note 9. Investment property is measured based on estimates prepared by independent real estate valuation experts.
