STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 1 -

The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Principal activities

The principal activity of the company is to act as general partner to Gresham House Timberland LP (the “Partnership”). In this capacity, the company is responsible for the management and operation of the Partnership in accordance with the relevant partnership agreements.

 

The company does not undertake trading activities in its own right. Its income comprises general partner fees receivable from the Partnership, which are designed to cover the administrative and statutory costs of the company and provide a modest operating margin.

Review of the business

For the year ended 31 December 2025, the company reported a profit of £7,812 (2024: £7,483). Revenue consists solely of general partner fees, which remained consistent with the prior year.

 

The financial position of the company remains stable, with net assets of £9,931 at the year end (2024: £27,119). The reduction in net assets reflects dividend distributions made during the year.

 

The directors are satisfied that the company has operated in line with its intended purpose as a general partner vehicle and continues to maintain an appropriate level of resources relative to its obligations.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Due to its structure and limited activities, the company is exposed to a relatively narrow range of risks. The principal risks are:

 

Dependence on Partnership arrangements

The company’s income is dependent on its continued role as general partner to the Partnership. Any change to the Partnership structure or contractual terms may impact future income streams.

 

Liquidity risk

The company maintains low levels of expenditure and holds cash balances sufficient to meet its short term obligations. Liquidity risk is considered low.

 

Operational and compliance risk

As general partner, the company is responsible for ensuring that the Partnership is managed in accordance with applicable agreements and regulatory requirements. These activities are supported by the wider Gresham House group.

 

The directors consider that these risks are mitigated through the company’s limited cost base, its contractual arrangements, and the operational support provided by the wider group.

Key performance indicators

Given the nature of the company’s activities, the directors consider that traditional financial and non-financial KPIs are of limited relevance. The primary performance measure is maintaining a level of income sufficient to meet the company’s obligations as general partner and to operate on a solvent basis.

 

The directors monitor:

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Financial risk management

The company’s exposure to financial risks is limited due to the simple nature of its operations. It does not engage in complex financial instrument activity.

 

The main financial risks relate to cash management and receivables from the Partnership. The directors consider these risks to be low and manage them through regular monitoring of cash balances and settlement positions.

Future outlook

The company is expected to continue to operate in its current capacity as general partner to the Partnership. Income levels are anticipated to remain stable, reflecting the ongoing operation of the underlying fund structure.

 

The directors do not anticipate any significant changes in the nature or scale of the company’s activities in the foreseeable future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF GRESHAM HOUSE TIMBERLAND GENERAL PARTNER LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Gresham House Timberland General Partner Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the profit and loss account, the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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:

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.

Conclusions relating 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 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 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 our 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 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 our 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 strategic report or 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, 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:

A further description of our responsibilities is available 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 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 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 members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
