Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025

1	General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales.

The address of its registered office is:
Suite A1
10 Duke Street
Liverpool
L1 5AS

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board on 26 May 2026.

2	Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors believe they can access funding to meet the liabilities of the company when they fall due.

Turnover

Turnover represents rents receivable in accordance with the terms of agreements with tenants.

Investment properties
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.

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

Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Asset class	Depreciation method and rate
Fixtures and fittings	33% straight line

Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company 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 debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised at transaction price and shown at face value.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the profit and loss account over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Share capital

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

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was 0 (2024 - 0).

	2025 £
At 1 September	2,564,519
Fair value gain	391,938
At 31 August	2,956,457

The Investment property comprises a student residential property as well as commercial space within that property. The directors valued the investment property on 13 October 2025 and have used this as the basis for valuing the investment property at 31 August 2025. The fair value of the investment property has been determined by the directors using the Term & Reversion approach. This involves taking the property’s current net rental income, estimating the future market value net rental income, and applying an equivalent yield to both values to arrive at the valuation.

The significant assumptions applied in the valuation include:

• The future market value net rental income which is estimated based on current lease agreements and occupancy levels for the investment property, adjusted for estimated voids, management costs, maintenance, and other outgoings;

• The equivalent yield percentage used in the valuation, which has been selected by reference to current and market yields for comparable student residential properties in the local area, taking into account factors such as location, quality of accommodation, occupancy history, lease terms, and prevailing market conditions; and

• No significant capital expenditure or development assumed in the foreseeable future beyond normal ongoing maintenance.

During the year the company repaid in full its bank borrowing. At the date of approval of these financial statements, the fixed and floating charge granted to Natwest as security for that borrowing remained registered at Companies House pending completion of the formal release process. The directors are satisfied that no liability remains outstanding in respect of this facility and that the charge will be formally vacated in due course.

The other borrowings of £3,014,403 (2024: £1,554,143) and £nil (2024: £1,081,696) of the bank borrowings are secured by way of fixed and floating charges over the investment property and the other assets of the company. The other borrowings are from a company under common control and are interest free and repayable on demand.
