The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31st December 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

Halkin Management Company Limited (the "company") is the parent company of a group of 100% owned subsidiaries (the "group"). The group reports revenues of £31,051,959 (2024: £26,565,633), representing revenue growth of 16.9% and a pre-tax loss of £1,754,260 (2024: pre-tax profit of £794,441). The group has continued to grow through organic expansion of existing properties and the addition of new leased space and has improved its revenues through increased occupancy and licence fee rates for office spaces. The group, through the company, expanded its operations in the year, taking on one new lease for property (2024: Two new lease properties). The new lease has materially impacted the company's profitability for the year due to the recognition of non-cash rents per the requirements of FRS-102 Section 20 and a slower than anticipated occupancy ramp-up due to a period of UK political instability, during which shifting monetary policy conditions prompted both prospective and existing clients to adopt a cautious stance deferring commitments on new licence agreements. Group cashflow has remained stable throughout the year with investments outside of the new lease property tightly controlled.

Notwithstanding the trading headwinds experienced in the early part of 2025 , the directors consider the group's revenue performance and financial position at the year end to be sound, supported by an increase in the weighted average contract length being secured and the maintenance of sufficient cash reserves to meet current commitments.

The group through the company continues to aim to become a leading provider of serviced office accommodation in London and the surrounding areas. The directors agreed a new lease in 2025 to continue the group and company's expansion plans and will continue to pursue lease, management and other options for further expansion in the year.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The group's financial instruments comprise third-party loans with variable interest rates, some cash and liquid resources and various items, such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations. There are a number of risks and uncertainties which could have an impact on the group's long term performance. The group has a risk management structure in place to identify, manage and mitigate business risks.

Credit risk

The risk arises from a general economic downturn in the UK which could adversely affect the group's revenues. The group seeks to mitigate this risk by constantly monitoring its customer profile to ensure that there is no undue reliance on a particular customer or a particular commercial activity. The group has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before new accounts are accepted. The group also has a diversified customer base and the requirement for customer deposits and payments in advance on contracts to further minimise exposure to this risk.

Liquidity risk

The group manages its liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available credit facilities, including loan facilities, to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The directors prepare annual budgets and multiyear cash flow forecasts which are reviewed quarterly to ensure that the group maintains sufficient liquidity headroom. The directors are satisfied that the group has adequate resources available to meet its liabilities as they arise.

Property market risk

The group is exposed to movements in the London commercial property market through its portfolio of leased properties. The group's leases contain market rent review clauses and, should reviews result in increased rents, there is a possibility of a short-term reduction in profitability until increases can be passed on to clients upon contract renewal. The directors monitor market conditions and lease obligations closely and consider the group to have sufficient available funds to absorb short-term cost pressures of this nature.

Competition risk

The market in which the group operates is highly competitive and there is a risk that the group's customers will look to competitors for those services offered. The group has sought to mitigate this risk by building a strong reputation for service and quality, and through expansion, has a larger and more diversified customer base.

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The directors use a number of key performance indicators ("KPI's") to assist in measuring the group's and company's performance. These include occupancy levels, rental values per desk and per sq ft and EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation and exceptional non-operating costs). The group has seen improvement in occupancy levels and rental values per desk during the year. EBITDA has been adversely impacted compared to the prior year, principally due to the start-up costs, the occupancy ramp-up period and non-cash rental recognition associated with the new lease signed during the year. The directors are satisfied with the performance of the group having generated a positive cashflow from operations despite the pre-tax loss of £1,754,260 which was attributed to recognition of non-cash rents and other startup costs for the new lease signed in the year.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

M J Kingshott - Director

POLITICAL DONATIONS AND EXPENDITURE

The group made no political contributions during the year (2024: £nil).

INDEMNITY PROVISION

The directors who held office at the date of approval of this report of the directors confirm that there was no qualifying indemnity provision made by the group at any time during the financial year.

GOING CONCERN AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The group meets its working capital requirements through bank and finance loans, shareholder loans and retained profits. The directors prepare annual budgets and multi-year forecasts in order to ensure that the company has sufficient reserves in order to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Budgets and actual results are reviewed quarterly by the group's directors to ensure that decisions can be made should deviations occur from the expectations budgeted.

The directors have reviewed the current and future trading prospects of the company and the group and concluded that the going concern basis is appropriate for the presentation of these accounts. In making this assessment the directors have taken the following into consideration:

The group has seen growth in its pre-existing and new operations through the year and has signed one new lease which has increased the size of the group's portfolio. While political uncertainty impacted the first half of 2025 the serviced office market has seen improved demand through the remainder of the financial year and is expected to maintain the current level of demand into 2026 with the UK political situation having less impact on client decision making than in 2025. The shareholders have reconfirmed their commitment to the group's expansion and ongoing operations and have agreed to provide further funding should it be required to support the group.

With the continued improvement in occupancy and revenue performance, and the shareholders' confirmed willingness to provide financial support if required, the directors believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Subsequent to the year end, the group has continued to consolidate its operations and the directors are actively considering both lease and management opportunities for further expansion.

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the group and financial key performance indicators have been considered within the Strategic Report.

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 group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, TC Group, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

M J Kingshott - Director

30th June 2026

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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;

-	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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Halkin Management Company Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31st December 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31st December 2025 and of the group's loss 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 group 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 uncertainty related 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 group's and the parent 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 Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities, 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 Group 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 Group 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 group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-	the parent company 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.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page six, 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent 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:

-

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the group and the sector in which it operates, through discussions with management and those charged with governance. We identified the financial reporting framework including but not limited to United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and the Companies Act 2006, Data Protection Act 2018, Bribery Act 2010 and tax legislation as being of significance in the context of the group and its ongoing activities.

-

We made enquiries with management and those charged with governance along with reviewing board meeting minutes to confirm our understanding that the group continued to comply with the applicable legal and regulatory frameworks, and also to confirm our understanding of the specific policies and procedures enlisted by the group to ensure ongoing compliance.

-

We assessed the susceptibility of the group's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud may occur, and gained an understanding of the group's policies and procedures on fraud risks through discussion with the group's management.

-

We considered the risk of material misstatement due to fraud as a result of possible management override of controls and improper revenue recognition. In addressing this risk of fraud from the above we have tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments including a sample of manual journals along with testing revenue recognition and confirming that cut-off is appropriate.

-

We communicated those laws and regulations considered relevant to the group, and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members, and consider that the engagement team had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations, and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit.

Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk. These procedures included: testing manual journals; reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation; performing analytical procedures; and enquiring of management, and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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.

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

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

The principal activity of the group and the company continued to be that of the provision and management of shared workspaces and offices that include the necessary infrastructure, services and technology.

The financial statements have been prepared in sterling, the functional currency of the company, and monetary amounts in these financial statements have been rounded to the nearest £.

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.

Going concern

The group meets its working capital requirements through bank and finance loans, shareholder loans and retained profits. The directors prepare annual budgets and multi-year forecasts in order to ensure that the company has sufficient reserves in order to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Budgets and actual results are reviewed quarterly by the group's directors to ensure that decisions can be made should deviations occur from the expectations budgeted.

The directors have reviewed the current and future trading prospects of the company and the group and concluded that the going concern basis is appropriate for the presentation of these accounts. In making this assessment the directors have taken the following into consideration:

The group has seen growth in its pre-existing and new operations through the year and has signed one new lease which has increased the size of the group's portfolio. While political uncertainty impacted the first half of 2025 the serviced office market has seen improved demand through the remainder of the financial year and is expected to maintain the current level of demand into 2026 with the UK political situation having less impact on client decision making than in 2025. The shareholders have reconfirmed their commitment to the group's expansion and ongoing operations and have agreed to provide further funding should it be required to support the group.

With the continued improvement in occupancy and revenue performance, and the shareholders' confirmed willingness to provide financial support if required, the directors believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Subsequent to the year end, the group has continued to consolidate its operations and the directors are actively considering both lease and management opportunities for further expansion.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the results of Halkin Management Company Limited and all of its subsidiary undertakings up to 31 December each year. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Where a subsidiary has different accounting policies from the group, adjustments are made to those subsidiary financial statements to apply the group's accounting policies when preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Revenue is recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met:

a)

The company has entitlement to the funds;

b)

Any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met or are fully within the control of the company and

c)

There is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable and measured reliably.

Membership (office rental) is recognised over the course of the rental period. Ancillary income is recognised when incurred.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight line method. Depreciation is charged on the following basis:

Improvements to property

- over the length of the lease

Fixtures and fittings

- 20% on cost

Computer equipment

- 33% on cost

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Financial instruments

The group only enters into basic financial instruments that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other debtors and creditors.

Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the group would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated 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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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.

Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the group pay fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid, the group has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from those of the group in independently administered funds.

Investments

Fixed asset investments include investments in subsidiaries and non-controlling interests. All fixed asset investments are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on

notice of not more than 24 hours.

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.

3.	CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In applying the group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The directors' judgement, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence at the time when the decisions are made and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent sensitivity involved in making judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.

In assessing whether there have been any indicators of impairment to assets, the directors consider both external and internal sources of information such as market conditions and experience of recoverability and establishes a provision for receivables that are estimated not to be recoverable.

Determining residual values and useful economic lives of property, plant and equipment

The group depreciates tangible assets over their estimated useful lives. The estimation of the useful lives of assets is based on historic performance as well as expectations about future use and therefore requires estimates and assumptions to be applied by management. The actual lives of these assets can vary depending on a variety of factors, including technical innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes.
