Michael Broom (resigned 28th August 2024) Jane Campbell Jonathan Fewster Steven Haynes (appointed 24[th] September 2024) Michael Kelly James Lally Kiran Pawar Claire Wise (resigned 28[th] August 2024) 

## **Review of the Business and Business Model** 

**Passage Housing Services (PHS)** , a private company limited by guarantee without share capital, was incorporated on December 2, 2014 (Company No. 09337431). It operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Passage 2000, a charity and company limited by guarantee dedicated to ending street homelessness. Passage 2000 is a registered charity (No. 1161696) and PHS is a Registered Social Landlord (RP Number: 4842). 

## **Operational History:** 

- **Dormancy Period:** PHS remained dormant until December 16, 2020. 

- **Bentley House Lease:** On December 17, 2020, PHS took over a lease from Optivo for Bentley House, which offers 20 units of self-contained accommodation at St Vincent’s Centre, Carlisle Place, London SW1P 1NL. The freehold is owned by Passage 2000. 

- **Passage House Lease:** On March 16, 2021, PHS acquired a lease from Peabody Housing Association for Passage House, a 40-unit assessment centre at 1-5 Longmoore Street, London SW1V 1JH. Passage 2000 owns the freehold. 

- **Montfort House Lease:** As of April 1, 2024, PHS obtained the lease for Montfort House, which offers 16 units of self-contained studio accommodation at 22 King’s Scholars’ Passage, London SW1P 2RS. Passage 2000 owns the freehold. 

## **Objectives and Strategies** 

With the acquisition of the lease of Montfort House, PHS now oversees 73 units. Following refurbishment, the units at Passage House became operational in August

## **Passage Housing Services** 

## **Board Report** 

## **Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

2022, and Bentley House units were available from December 2022, with 10 units occupied by March 31, 2023. Montfort House units were taken on with residents in situ. 

PHS's three-year strategy (2025-28) aligns with the strategic priorities of Passage 2000. 

The principal income for the year was derived from core rents for the three properties, collected by Passage 2000 on behalf of PHS. The entity held reserves of £370k at year-end (2024: £266k). Passage 2000 will continue to support PHS in its activities. 

## **Principal Risks and Uncertainties** 

Last year, the organisation experienced an instance of unintentional non-compliance, which has since been addressed through an external compliance review to strengthen oversight and ensure future adherence. 

## **Strategic Planning Challenges** 

A key strategic challenge remains the organisation’s ambition to expand its housing portfolio. However, forward planning is currently constrained by the need to await the outcomes of the government’s Spending Review and the Autumn Statement. These external dependencies limit the ability to make informed investment decisions and long-term commitments. 

## **Main Trends and Factors** 

The successful refurbishment of 57 units to a high standard, along with the acquisition of a lease for an additional 16 units at Montfort House, has significantly strengthened the organisation’s housing portfolio. These developments provide a solid foundation for future growth and operational performance. 

As of the balance sheet date: 

36 of the 37 units at Passage House were occupied, 

All 20 units at Bentley House were fully occupied, and 

15 of the 16 units at Montfort House were tenanted. 

To support the long-term sustainability of these assets, Passage 2000 commissioned an Asset Management Review during the financial year. This has resulted in the implementation of a comprehensive Asset Management Strategy, which now covers all three properties leased by PHS, ensuring their ongoing maintenance and strategic oversight.

## **Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Future Prospects** 

Looking ahead, PHS, in collaboration with Passage 2000, is actively exploring strategic partnerships with Housing Associations to expand accommodation options for individuals affected by homelessness. These partnerships aim to enhance service delivery and increase housing capacity through shared expertise and resources. 

To support this ambition, a Financial Options Review has been commissioned and completed. This review provides a detailed assessment of the financial instruments and funding models available to both Passage 2000 and PHS, enabling informed decision-making around the acquisition of additional housing stock in the future. 

## **Assessment of how the RP is achieving Value for Money** 

The company is conscious of the need to provide value for money to our users and stakeholders.  As a registered provide of social housing with the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) in England, we are committed to delivering value for money and continuing to meet the RSH's Value for Money Standard.  Our rental and social housing related support levels are set in consultation with Westminster City Council to ensure that they, as the principal commissioners of our services, have assurance that they are receiving such value.  We regularly review our performance and working practices to continue developing the impact of services and using resources in the most effective and efficient way. 

## **Metric 1 - Reinvestment %** 

This demonstrates the investment in properties (existing stock as well as new supply) as a percentage of the value of total properties held.  The company's metric for reinvestment for the year was 0.0% (2024: 0.1%) representing consultancy costs only; the cost of refurbishment and all other relevant costs have been borne by the parent charity. 

## **Metric 2 - New supply delivered %** 

In April 2024 the company acquired the lease of Montfort House increasing the supply of social housing units by 16 (21.9%). There was no change in the total number of social housing units in 2023/24. 

## **Metric 3 - Gearing** 

This metric looks at the extent to which the company's activities are dependent on debt finance. The company holds leasehold property stated at the cost of transfer of the lease less accumulated depreciation.  The balance of the loan at 31 March 2025 was £328k (2024: £393k).  This represents the cost of the remaining lease repayments spread over ten years from acquisition of the lease.  In addition, the company has a liability for short term borrowings of £nil (2025: £29k) representing administrative costs paid by the parent charity.  Total borrowings represent 40% (2024: 58%) of the depreciated value of the lease.

## **Board Report** 

## **Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Metric 4 - Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, major repairs included (EBITDA MRI) interest cover %** 

The company paid no interest on the loans referred to in Metric 3 (2024: £nil). 

## **Metric 5 - Headline social housing cost per unit** 

The cost per unit for the year to Passage Housing Services was £4,012 (2024: £3,944).  This reflects the average cost to the company of providing accommodation to residents during the year.  If the additional costs to Passage 2000 (acting as agent for PHS) are taken into account, the total cost per unit to Passage 2000 and PHS combined is £6,683 (2024: £6,456). 

## **Metric 6 - Operating margin (overall) - %** 

The operating margin from social housing lettings was 21.6% (2024: 17.3%) while the operating margin of the company as a whole was 21.6% (2024: 17.3%). 

## **Metric 7 - Return on capital employed (ROCE) %** 

This metric compares the operating surplus to total assets less current liabilities.  For the company this was 16.5% (2024: 8.1%). 

## **Tenant Satisfaction Survey** 

In Quarter 4 of 2024–25, we conducted our annual Tenant Satisfaction Survey across all three residential properties owned by Passage 2000 and leased by PHS. These services comprise a total of 73 self-contained flats and ensuite rooms. At the time of the survey, 70 units were occupied, with three voids. 

All current residents were invited to participate, resulting in a strong response rate: 

50 residents (71.4%) completed the survey 

20 residents (28.6%) declined or did not respond 

The survey was conducted over a one-month period using the standardised questions set by the Housing Regulator. Residents were informed of the survey’s purpose and how the feedback would be used to improve services. Responses were collected anonymously through multiple formats—online, paper-based, and face-toface interviews. Residents were also encouraged to contact their keyworkers for follow-up discussions or to raise concerns. 

To gain deeper insights, we included an optional comment box with each question. This allowed residents to explain their responses, helping us identify both areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. Some residents requested and received support to complete the survey.

It has general responsibility for taking reasonable steps to safeguard the company's assets and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

**Passage Housing Services** 

## **Independent Auditor’s Report to the Board of Passage Housing Services** 

## **Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Passage Housing Services (the ‘association’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet 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: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the association’s affairs as at 31 March 2025, and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2019. 

## **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 association 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 board's 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 association'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 board 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 board report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The board are responsible for the other information contained within the board report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in 

11 



**Passage Housing Services** 

## **Independent Auditor’s Report to the Board of Passage Housing Services** 

## **Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

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. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the board report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Co-operative and Community Benefit Act 2014 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the association has not kept proper books of account, and not maintained a satisfactory system of control over its transactions, in accordance with the requirements of the legislation; or 

- the revenue account, any other accounts to which our report relates, and the balance sheet are not in agreement with the association's books of account; or 

- we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes our audit; or 

- The directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the directors’ annual report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of the board** 

As explained more fully in the board's responsibilities statement set out on page in the board report, the board is 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 it determines 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 board is responsible for assessing the association’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 board either intends to liquidate the association or to cease operations, or has 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 

12 



**Passage Housing Services** 

## **Independent Auditor’s Report to the Board of Passage Housing Services** 

## **Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

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. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: 

- We enquired of management and board which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the association’s policies and procedures relating to: 

   - Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; 

   - Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud; 

   - The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

- We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the association operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the association from our professional and sector experience. 

- We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

- We reviewed any reports made to regulators. 

- We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

- We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. 

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. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-andguidance/Standards-and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-foraudit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx.

## **(a) General information and basis of preparation** 

Passage Housing Services (PHS) is a charitable company, limited by guarantee without share capital registered in England and Wales, company registration number 09337431, charity number 1161696. It is also a Registered Provider of Social Housing, registration number 4842. The registered office is St Vincent's Centre, Carlisle Place, London, London, SW1P 1NL, United Kingdom. 

PHS constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including the Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Statement of Recommended Practice for Social Housing Providers 2018, and with the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2019.  The financial statements are also prepared under the requirements of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Companies Act 2006.  The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value.  The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of PHS, and rounded to the nearest £. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.  These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

The management committee does not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 

## **(b) Going concern** 

The directors consider that there are no material uncertainties about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The company has made a surplus for the year and has the commitment of ongoing financial support available from the parent charity should this be required.  Since the completion of the refurbishment of Bentley House and Passage House the company has been in regular receipt of rental income, and there is no reason to assume this will change in the foreseeable future. 

## **(c) Tangible fixed assets** 

## _Housing properties_ 

Social housing properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Fixed assets represents the leasehold property held by the entity and is stated at the cost of the buyback of the lease. The assets are capitalised on the basis that Passage Housing Services holds the risks and rewards of ownership. The Housing property is depreciated over the life of the lease. 

## **(d) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year** 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in other administrative expenses.
