GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The Company is a real estate holding company that, though its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns the commercial real estate asset known as 1 Basinghall, situated in the City of London. The asset currently serves as the global head quarters for a multinational bank and is undergoing an extensive redevelopment to suit the tenant’s operational and sustainability needs.
During the financial year, the Group achieved significant milestones, reinforcing its commitment to maintaining and enhancing the value of its real estate asset:
Property Upgrades The redevelopment project at 1 Basinghall continued according to all key milestones during the year. Capital expenditures remain fully funded, with some headroom available to further enhance the tenant experience through additional upgrades at the building. During the year, the redevelopment progressed according to milestone dates committed to our Tenant. Reserve for Debt Interest To safeguard against potential cash flow variability, particularly in relation to meeting future leasing targets, the company has established a dedicated cash reserve to cover potential interest shortfalls. This prudent approach underscores our commitment to financial stability. The cash reserve decreased during the financial year.
The directors are aware of the potential risks associated with tenant occupancy, market conditions, and interest rate fluctuations. However, the proactive measures taken, including tenant lease extensions, fixed-rate debt, and the creation of a dedicated reserve, mitigate these risks effectively.
The directors utilize specific KPIs to measure performance and ensure effective risk management. These KPIs reflect the company’s strategic objectives and include:
De-Risked Capital Expenditure (CapEx) Program The Group has substantially fixed its contract with the appointed contractor, minimizing provisional sums and reducing risks associated with cost overruns. This approach ensures greater predictability in the delivery of the upgrade works. Fixed Interest Costs The refinancing of debt with a fixed-rate facility has effectively mitigated risks associated with interest rate fluctuations, providing financial certainty through to October 2027.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Enhanced Sustainability and Efficiency Standards
As part of the redevelopment plan, the Group has reallocated savings within the development budget to upgrade the building’s central plant to best-in-class standards. This initiative will position 1 Basinghall as one of the most energy-efficient and sustainable buildings in the City of London, supporting the Group’s commitment to ESG principles and enhancing the building’s market appeal. Financial Position and Performance The Group remains in a strong financial position, with sufficient liquidity to meet both operational and investment requirements. The refinancing of debt and extension of the tenant lease have bolstered future cash flow predictability, while the capital expenditure program is expected to enhance asset value.
Looking ahead, the Group remains focused on the strategic enhancement of 1 Basinghall while maintaining financial discipline. The continued partnership with the tenant, ongoing property upgrades, and a strengthened ESG profile position the Group well to capitalize on market opportunities and deliver sustainable value to stakeholders.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BASINGHALL (MH) LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Basinghall (MH) Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Analysis of Net Debt, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company 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 Group's or 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BASINGHALL (MH) LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Directors' Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BASINGHALL (MH) 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 Group 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:
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 Auditors' 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 Auditors' 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Basinghall (MH) Limited (the 'Company) is a private limited by shares and is incorporated in England and Wales. The Company's registered office is at 71 Queen Victoria Street, Floor 8, London, United Kingdom, EC4V 4AY. The Company is a holding entity of a property investment group.
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 Group management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance Sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.

The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Rendering of services

∙it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the contract;
∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Derecognition of financial instruments
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Valuation of investment properties The investment properties are carried in the balance sheet at cost less impairment. The valuation of the investment properties is inherently subjective as it utilises, among other factors, comparable sales data and the expected future rental revenues. If any assumptions made in the valuation prove to be inaccurate, this may mean that the value of the investment properties in the accounts differs from the actual valuation, which could have a material effect on the financial position of the Group. Investment property valuations are a key source of estimation uncertainty for the Group. Amortisation of negative goodwill The negative goodwill is being amortised over an estimated useful life of 10 years. As per the accounting standards the estimate useful life is deemed to be finite and will not exceed this. Accruals Management estimation is required to determine the amount of various liabilities incurred during the year and still due at the year end.
