The members present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of Elgin Investments LLP (the "LLP") for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The principal activity of the LLP is that of property investment and development.
Each member's subscription to the capital of the LLP is determined by their share of the profit and is repayable following retirement from the LLP.
Details of changes in members' capital in the year ended 31 December 2025 are set out in the Reconciliation of members' interests.
Members are remunerated from the profits of the LLP and are required to make their own provision for pensions and other benefits. Profits are allocated and divided between members in proportion to their capital contribution. Members draw a proportion of their profit shares, with the balance of profits being distributed after the year, subject to the cash requirements of the business.
I M Amdur, G Angell, G A Silver and P A Silver were designated members of the LLP throughout the period.
The auditor is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.
The members are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law (as applied by The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008) requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the members have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Under company law (as applied by The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008) the members 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 limited liability partnership and of the profit or loss of the limited liability partnership for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the members are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the limited liability partnership will continue in business.
The members are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the limited liability partnership’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the limited liability partnership and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 (as applied by The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008). They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the limited liability partnership and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Each of the persons who are members at the time when this Members' report is approved has confirmed that:
so far as that member is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the LLP's auditors are unaware, and
that member has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a member in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the LLP's auditors are aware of that information.
We have audited the financial statements of Elgin Investments LLP (the 'limited liability partnership') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the reconciliation of members' interests, 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).
Basis for opinion
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' 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 limited liability partnership’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 members with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
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:
Enquiring of management around actual and potential litigation and claims;
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
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.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the LLP's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the members.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the LLP's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the LLP to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Elgin Investments LLP (the LLP) is a Limited Liability Partnership and is incorporated in England and Wales.
The principal activity of the LLP is that of property investment and development.
The Registered Office is Heyford Park House, Heyford Park, Bicester, Oxfordshire, OX25 5HD.
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 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships''.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the limited liability partnership. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
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 LLP's accounting policies (see note 2).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. During the year, the LLP incurred a loss of £2,341,857. The members have considered the LLP's current financial position, future trading prospects, available funding and cash flow forecasts for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
Following this assessment, the members have a reasonable expectation that the LLP will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, the members continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the LLP and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the LLP has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the LLP retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the LLP will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
The sale of properties is recognised on completion.
The LLP divides profits automatically. "Automatic divisions of profits are recognised as 'Members' remuneration charged as an expense' in the Statement of Comprehensive income in proportion to the members capital".
In the event of the LLP making losses, the loss is not allocated between members and is carried forward in other reserves.
The LLP classifies distributions of profits as cash flow from financing activities in the Statement of cash flows.
Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by external valuers and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
Borrowing costs are capitalised within stock and released to the profit and loss account when the property is sold as part of Cost of Sales.
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a weighted average basis.
At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
In the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the LLP's cash management.
The LLP only enters into basic financial instruments that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities.
(i) Financial assets
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. 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 the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Valuation of investment property
The estimation of fair value of investment properties is based on an external valuation and is inherently subjective. Where the market has transaction volumes lower than average, the subjectivity around the valuations is more acute.
An analysis of turnover by class of business is as follows:
All turnover arose within the United Kingdom.
The entity has no employees.
The 2025 valuations were made by Savills, on an open market value for existing use basis.
The historical cost disclosure of £673,399 reflects the historical cost of properties remaining within investment property at 31 December 2025. Land transferred to stock during the year has been excluded from this disclosure.
During the year, the lender agreed an amendment to the facility extending the repayment date to November 2028 and increasing the maximum aggregate facility available to the LLP.
The bank loan is due for repayment in November 2028. Interest is charged on the loan at base rate (subject to a 0.75% minimum) plus 6%. The loan is secured by a first legal charge over the property of the company, a legal debenture over the assets of the company and an interest guarantee from a related party.
In the event of a winding up the amounts included in "Loans and other debts due to members" will rank equally with unsecured creditors.
Included within trade debtors is an amount of £nil (2024: £966,317) due to other related parties.
Included within other creditors are amounts of £3,466,553 (2024: £3,437,384) due to other related parties.
Included within accruals is an amount of £nil (2024: £637,726) due to other related parties.
Included within sales is an amount of £2,884,879 (2024: £966,317) sold to a related party.
Amounts of £3,466,553 (2024: £3,589,746) were recharged from these entities in the year, and are included within stock at year end.
