| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| PBBE Mars Propco Limited is a |
| 2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
| 3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The directors have made key assumptions in the determination of the fair value of an investment property. The valuation method is further described in the investment property note together with the valuation of the property at the reporting date. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents rental income under operating leases from investment properties held, excluding value added tax. Rentals receivable under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
| Investment property |
| Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Investment properties are held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation and are accounted for in accordance with Section 16 "Investment Property" of the Financial Reporting Standard 102. Investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequently investment property is shown at the most recent valuation, being the fair value of the property. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the income statement and is then transferred to non distributable reserves on the balance sheet. |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial instruments are classified as basic or non-basic following the conditions on FRS 102 Section 11. Basic financial instruments are initially measured at transaction price and subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Derivative financial instruments are non-basic and are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they arise. The valuations of derivative instruments are undertaken, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, by external expert parties based on prevailing and observable market data inputs and estimates relative to future interest obligations. |
| The company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk on its variable rate borrowings. The derivatives have not been designated in a hedging relationship. |

| 3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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 period 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. |
| Foreign currencies |
| Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the local currency at actual exchange rates as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date (or, where appropriate, at the date of exchange in a related forward exchange contract). Any gain or loss arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction is included as an exchange gain or loss in the profit and loss account. Non-monetary items are not re-translated at the balance sheet date and are recognised at their transaction cost. |
| Reserves |
| The company's reserves are as follows: |
| a) The fair value reserve includes fair value adjustments arising on investment properties and deferred tax movements directly related to these adjustments. The reserve is non-distributable. |
| b) Retained earnings represents cumulative profits or losses, net of dividends paid and transfers out of non-distributable amounts. The reserve is distributable. |
| 4. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS |
| The average number of employees during the period was NIL. |

| During the period, the company acquired both freehold and leasehold investment properties. The directors have valued the freehold and leasehold properties at 31 December 2025 as £44,409,940; this is deemed by the directors to represent an appropriate fair value at the reporting date and be equivalent to the open market value. |
| If all the properties were sold at their open market value at the balance sheet date, there would be an estimated tax liability arising of £548,250 at the UK main corporation tax rate of 25%. A deferred tax liability has been recognised in respect of this and has been transferred in full to non-distributable reserves. |
| Fair value at 31 December 2025 is represented by: |

The facility matures on 15 May 2028. At the reporting date, the net loan balance amounts to £21.45m. Issue costs of £811,967 were incurred, which have been deducted from the initial carrying value and are being amortised over the life of the loan. To reduce the interest rate risk on the above loan, the company entered into a financial derivative instrument. This loan is secured by a fixed and floating charge over all of the company's assets. |
