DIRECTORS' REPORT
For the Year Ended 24 March 2026
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 24 March 2026.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to 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 hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors who served during the year were:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KINGMERE LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Kingmere Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 24 March 2026, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, 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 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.
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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.

KINGMERE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KINGMERE LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Auditors' 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
• The Company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including The Companies Act 2006, UK taxation legislation, financial reporting legislation and general regulations such as occupational health and safety and General Data Protection. There are no industry specific laws and regulations which would be deemed to have a significant impact on the financial statements. We assessed the extent of compliance with the appropriate laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
• We understood how the Company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by, making inquiries to management, those responsible for legal and compliance procedures and the company secretary. We corroborated our inquiries through our review of documentation.
• The engagement partner assessed whether the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations. The assessment did not identify any issues in this area.
• We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
o Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
o Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
o Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
o Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations; and
o Review of legal and professional expenditure and supporting documentation.
• As a result of the above procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas:
o Posting of unusual journals and complex transactions;
o Recognising investment property disposals in an incorrect period; and
o Manipulation of amounts subject to significant judgment or estimate.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.
This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 24 March 2026
Kingmere Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales.
The company's registered office and principal place of business is at Farr House, 4 New Park Road, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19 7XA.
The company's principal activity is that of investor, developer and trader in the general and commercial property sectors in the south of England.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Irrecoverable running costs directly attributable to specific properties are charged to the profit and loss account on an accruals basis. Costs incurred on the maintenance or refurbishment of the property portfolio which, in the opinion of the directors, are not of a capital nature are written off to the profit and loss account on an accruals basis.
Costs not directly attributable to individual properties are charged to the profit and loss account as administrative expenditure.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 24 March 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
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 trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 24 March 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Loans which are refinanced are assessed by management against the conditions set out in FRS102 11.37 and if the modifications are deemed non-substantial from both a qualitative and a quantitative perspective the refinancing is considered not to give rise to the extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
Other financial instruments
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 24 March 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The company’s investment properties are let to a diversified portfolio of tenants and generate rental income in excess of the financing, property and administrative costs, thereby generating positive cashflow. Future cashflow and working capital liquidity requirements are documented in detailed forecasts scrutinised by the directors. The methodology adopted is appraised and amended in response to changing economic conditions and the actual outcome is routinely assessed against previous forecasts.
The most recently prepared forecasts demonstrate that the company has the resources to readily meet all liabilities as they fall due. Lender covenants are evaluated and tested for future sensitivities to highlight any areas where mitigating action can be planned for. All current projections give the directors confidence that the company will continue to perform ahead of its financial covenant thresholds.
The company continues to have a strong relationship with its lender and conservative operating ratios, giving the directors confidence that the refinance falling due in October 2028 can be achieved. In their judgment, the directors conclude that these financial statements may validly be prepared on the going concern basis.
