| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Kims Property Company Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Going concern |
| During the year, the company made a loss of £4.49 million, primarily arising from the recognition of the HMRC settlement provision (2024: profit of £27.1K) and at the balance sheet date had net liabilities of £1.26 million (2024: net assets £3.2 million). |
| The company owns the KIMS Hospital in Kent, which is leased and operated by KIMS Hospital Limited (KHL) as the tenant. KIMS Hospital, in its eleventh year of trading, saw continued growth in both caseload and revenues and had the benefit of a nominal rent period until 30 April 2019. From this date, KHL has paid a minimum annual rent of £2 million, excluding VAT. |
| Since March 2020, the company and its tenant have operated in an environment impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. While there has been no direct effect on the company other than uncertainty regarding investment property valuations, the tenant faced certain risks. However, general restrictions imposed as a result of the pandemic were minimal during the year under review. KIMS Hospital Limited continues to enforce strict admission criteria to ensure patient safety and maintain the hospital as a COVID-19 "green site," although these policies have since been relaxed somewhat. |
| As disclosed in Note 9, during the year the Company concluded discussions with HM Revenue & Customs in relation to a long-running VAT enquiry. Following this process, a settlement was reached and, accordingly, a provision of £4,589,942 has been recognised in the financial statements at the reporting date. The Directors are satisfied that this represents the Company's best estimate of the liability based on the agreed terms with HMRC. A significant proportion of this liability will be satisfied from funds held in escrow, which were established in connection with the matter. The remaining liability will be settled in accordance with the agreed payment arrangement. The Company continues to have the support of its immediate parent undertaking and ultimate shareholders, who have confirmed their intention to provide financial support as required, ensuring that the Company is able to meet its obligations as they fall due. |
| In addition, KIMS Kent Property Holding Limited and its owner will provide financial support to the extent necessary to enable the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors consider that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| 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 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 other debtors and amounts due from group undertakings, 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 financial asset is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| Impairment of financial assets |
| Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. |
| Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Derecognition of financial assets |
| Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. |
| 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 theassets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Basic financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans and loans from fellow group companies, 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. |
| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
| Derecognition of financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities are derecognised when and only when the company's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. |
| Taxation |
| Current tax is based on taxable profit for the year. Current tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting period. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax is not discounted. |
| Deferred tax liabilities are recognised in respect of all timing differences that exist at the reporting date. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income that arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in different periods from their recognition in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered by the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| For non-depreciable assets measured using the revaluation model and investment properties measured at fair value (except investment property with a limited useful life held by the company to consume substantially all of its economic benefit), deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset or property. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is comprised of rental income from investment properties, net of VAT. Fair value reflects the amount expected to be recoverable from tenants. |
| Investment properties |
| Investment properties are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value whilst a reliable measure of fair value is available. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. |
| The investment property, which is freehold, was valued to fair value of £63,057,606 as at 30 April 2025 based on a valuation performed by Colliers (2024: £63,057,606 valued by the Colliers). This was based on an assessment of its open market value as an operational hospital taking in to account current and future rental together with the expected future yield. |

| Investment property is comprised of the freehold of a hospital building. The fair value of the investment property is assessed on a regular basis based on a valuation performed by Colliers. The valuation was made on an open market basis. The directors are of the view that there is no material difference between this valuation and the year end carrying value. |

| Other provisions | 4,589,942 | - |
| During the year, the Company concluded discussions with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) in relation to a long running enquiry concerning the VAT treatment of rental income from its investment property. HMRC had previously challenged whether the rent charged was at an open market value and, on this basis, assessed the Company for additional VAT, together with associated interest and penalties. |
| Following a period of review, negotiation, and professional advice, the Company reached a formal settlement agreement with HMRC in respect of these liabilities. |
| As a result of this settlement, the Directors have determined that a present obligation exists at the reporting date and that the amount of the liability can now be measured reliably. Accordingly, in line with FRS 102, Section 21 Provisions and Contingencies, the obligation has been recognised as a provision in the financial statements rather than disclosed as a contingent liability. |
| A provision of £4,589,942 has been recognised, comprising: |
| VAT: £3,448,273 |
| Interest: £519,501 |
| Penalties: £622,168 |
| This provision represents management's best estimate of the total expenditure required to settle the obligation based on the agreed terms with HMRC. |
| The liability will be settled in accordance with the agreed payment arrangement with HMRC and is expected to be paid over the agreed period. |
