HYELM Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 Report of the Board Report of the Board The Board is pleased to present its report and financial statements based on a limited company format and in accordance with accounting requirements by legislation and as set out in the Statement of Recommended practi,ACcOuntin9 by Registered Social Landlords, {'SORP' Update 2018). Review of the Period The Board reports a deficit of £3,426,001 for the year to 30 SeptemLEr 2025 (2024.. deficit £11,582,892). The overall deficit is a combination of a number of separate elements: an operating deficit arising from running the corporate functions and the Old Street property (£170k); the costs of fire remediation work at the Old Street propety (£661k)' the reduction in the valuation assigned to the Imperial House site (£2,568k). The operating deficit for the year of £170k is lower than the operating deficit for the previous year (£410k) and arises as the costs of the corporate funrtion needed to run a Registered Social Landlord are higher than can be supported by the single income generating asset (the Old Street propety) which Hyelm currently operates. The Board is focusing on minimising this deficit as much as possible whilst 0ratIng within our charitsble objertives but to achieve long term financial viability other income generating assets are needed and this is reflected in the strategic plan. The cost of the fire safety works and enhanced fire safety measures during the year was £660,758 increasing the total cost incurred to date to £3,610,926. The second phase of these works which involves the corrertion of fire stopping def to the apartments within the building, has continued throughout the year and planning for the third phase of these works in relation to the external fade of the building has also continued through the year. The enhanced fire safety measures at the Old Street building have continued to be in pla whilst the remediation works are completed. The valuation of the Colindale site has been undertaken by major firms of professional valuers and the decline in value reflects the continued UnrtaInty associated with the development activity. Legal Status The HYELM Group comprises HYELM, a Company Mited by Guarantee and which dcks not have share capital, The Ames House Trust, a charity established under Trust Deed, and Arthur West House Limited, a private limited company which 15 a wholly owned subsidiary of HYELM. HYELM is a non-profit rnaking conrn registered as a Charty and a Registered Provider under the Housing Acts. The Ames House Trust is accounted for as a branch of HYELM due to a uniting direttion in pla with the Charity Commission. The consolidated accounts show the financial position of The Group as a whole, and for the AssClation which includes HYELM and The Ame5 House Trust. Principal Activity and Public Benefit HYELM provides a high standard of affordable accommc(iation in a homely environment for keyworkers, critical workers and professionals aged 18 - 35, on low to moderate incomes. The Board confirms that it has referred to the guidan contained in the Charity Commission'5 general guidance on public benefit when reviewing HYELM'S aims and objectives and in formulating plans. Format of Financial Statements The Board is pleased to present its report and financial statements based on a limited company format and in accordan wf(h accounting requirements by legislation and as set out in the Statement of Recommended practi,ACcOuntlng by fteg1ster Social Landlords, CSORP' UOate 2018).
HYELM Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 Report of the Board Future Plans The Board adopted an updated strategic plan for the peri(Kl 2025-2028. The plan focuse5 on three key activities: to grow sustainably, to maintain the quality safety and affordability of our housing to create an environment where young residents can thrive. Growth- Hyelm's objertives are to increase the number of housing units we deliver, securing an additional scheme, to develop the HYELM model (housing and viability), and to build partnerships and diversify funding and financing. Housing- The objectives in this area are to complete the remediation of our Old Street scheme, to develop our Energy and Sustainability strategy, and ensure our rents remain affordable. Community & Wellb•ng- we plan to increase our resident involvement and community engagement, reswnd to our resident's needs- developing partnerships and our offer, and to review the Hyelm Membership purpjse and structure. Board The Board has reviewed the recommendations of the National Housing Federation's CcJe of Goveman 2020 and this year decided that it would be appropriate to establish a separate audit and risk committee which now means that the Board fully complies with the Code. The Board has also adopted, and is compliant with, the National Housing Federation Code of Conduci issued in 2012. HYELM is a member of the Federation. HYELM has implemented a comprehensive Board and Board members appraisal prcKess and a governance development plan which is reviewed and uplated annually. In accordan with the Articles of Association, Vanessa James and Joel Inbakumar are required to stand down at the 2026 Annual General Meeting. Vanessa remains eligible for re-elertion for another term of three years but J1 ha5 reached the end of his term and has retired as a Board member. J1 has bn Board member for 9 years and we thank him for his support during this pericxj and are grateful for the invaluable advi he had provided. VALUE FOR MONEY STATEMENT 2025 Introduction The Value for Money Standard 2018 The 2018 Value for Money Standard published in April 2018 requires that Registered Providers must: aearly articulate their strategic objectwes. Have an approach agreed by their board to achiewng value for money in meeting these objectives and demonstrate their delivery of value for money to stakeholders. Through their strategic objectives, arbculate their strategy for delivering homes that meet a range of needs. Ensure that optimal benefit is derived from resour5 and assets and optimise economy, efficien and effectiveness in the delivery of their Strategic objectives.
HYELM Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 Report of the Board The Standard requires that that Registeraj Providers must demonstrate: A robust approach to achiewng value for money- this must include a robust approach to decision making and a rigorous appraisal of potential options for improving performance. Regular and appropriate consideration by the Lyjard of potential value for money gains - this must include full consideration of the costs and benefits of alternative commercial, organisational and delivery structures. Consideration of value for money across their whole busine55 and where they invest in non-social housing activity, they should consider whether this generates returns commensurate to the risk involved and justification where this is not the case. That they have appropriate targets in pla for measuring perf0mlan in achieving value for money in delivering their strategic objectives, and that they regularly monitor and report their performance against these target5. It is also a requirement that Registered Providers must annually publish eviden in the statutory accounts to enable stakeholder5 to understand the providerfs.. performan against its own value for rrKiney targets and any metri(s set out by the Regulator, and how that performance compares to peers. Measurable plans to address any areas of underperformance, including clearly stating any areas where improvements would not be appropriate and the rationale for this. Hyelm is committed to finding ways to provide excellent services whilst at the same time seeking to redu cost5 and improve efficiency. To ensure that we can measure efficiency gains and to provide meaningful comparison5 Wlth other organisations providing Similar services, the Board ha5 adopted the 2018 Value for Money Standard for Registered Providers of Social Housing. How We Deliver Value For Money Although Hyelm d5 not provide s(Kial housing - the Old Street development provides a mix of accommcKlation on intermediate and affordable rents for young people on low incomes - the Value for Money stsndard provides a framework for measuring performantr in a consistent manner. Achieving Value for Money (VFM) is a fundamental element of our objective to become a top quartile performing organisation. We see VFM as the pro$$ of delivering savings and improving quality by simplifying everything that we do and by achieving a balance befften costs, quality and results. This statement outlines our approach to achieving VFM in meeting our objectives With referen to our financial, soKial and environmental returns, and measures performan using the metrics included within the 2018 Value for Money Standard. Value For Money is embedded within our business in the following ways: Governan Board members, duties include reviewing the efficiency of our OFerations and our Value For Money perf0rrnan as well as ensuring compliance with the regulatory Value For Money standard. The Board discusses our Value For Money Policy and Statement at least annually and reviews the 0ratIonal and financial performance of the business quarterly. FlnanaalManagennt We operate a robust budgeting prcKess that sets out the financial parameters within which our organisation is required to work to deliver improvements in the semces that we provide to our residents and others who work with us. The business planning process helps to ensure that our resources and assets are used in the most appropriate ways to deliver our objectives. Our budget arKi business plan targets a structur1 to ensure that effective use is made of our resou$ each year to strengthen our capacity to develop new homes and enhan our servi.
HYELM Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 Report of the Board Procurenjent We continuously seek to obtain Value For Money from our suppliers and look to rationalise contracts and re-tender when necessary to ensure that the Servi that we re1ve from them meet and deliver our business objectwes. Where appropriate, we undertake an options appraisal process to ensure that there is a robust business case for investmenvdivestment decisions and that returns are optimised. Managing Performance We Continual review our perfOrrnan and benchmark ourselves against our peer groups. A key objective of our Strategic Plan is to achieve top quartile perf0rrnan for financial strength and qualty of servi. The Eijard reviews performan information on a regular basis. We have set ourselves the challenge of benchmarking our performan against that of other organisations that provide similar services within the social housing sector and not for profit housing sectors. Comparative analysis is based on information provided by Housemark, Acuity's clients in London and other publicly available information. ResidentFocus Improving resident engagement and obtsining regular feedback in relation to our services are key objectives for the life of our Strategic Plan. Acuity is commissioned to undertake an independent satisfaction survey of our residents on an annual basis and collect data on their opinions of, and attitudes towards, HYELM and the seNices we provide. Their survey has been designed using the new Tenant Satisfaction Measures from the Regulator of sla1 Housing. OurPeople Our staff are critiGII to the organisation for the delivery of services to our residents. Providing training and support to our staff is eentIal to ensure that we maximise their capability. Salary and benefits packages are reviewed every three years. The review includes a benchmarking exercise to ensure that the salaries and iEnefits that stsff re1ve are comparable with our peer group. In 2020 as part of our longer term strategy we reviewed our staffing structure to ensure that the right number of appropriately skilled stsff will be in place to manage a growing organisation. The strurture will be further reviewed as needs change. OurStrategicPlan The Strategic Plan fUSeS on three key actwities: l. Growth To expand our housing capacity to meet the housing need of more young people securing financial sustainability for Hyelm through strategic partnerships and funding dwersification More specifically, we will Expand Housing StcKk'. Develop new units on existing land and acquire new sites for future projerts. Review the potential for the purchase of completed housing schemes. stngthen Partnerships: CollaiK)rate with developers, the Greater London Authority, and LLKal Authorities to unlock housing opportunities. Diversify Funding Sources.. Secure additional grants, explore impact investment opportunities, and make best use of our assets. Formalise the Hyelm management m(xiel as the foundation for the management of schemes on behalf of third-party landlords.
HYELM Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 Report of the Board Grow sustainably, consolidating our geographical presence and approach in Hyelm's existing and legacy locations. To 0rate close to key employment hubs, that are supported with robust local infrastructure. To increase the numikr of units we provide through either developing our current large site or new development subjert to financial and viability constraints. 2. Our Housing To maintain and enhance the quality, safety and affordability of our housing stk while meeting kest practi and regulatory standards. More specifically we will Ensure Safety and Compliance: Complete Old Street refurbishment arKI achieve full fire safety compliance, including cladding remediation. Maintain Affordability & EXllen. Keep rentsl levels affordable while adhering to the Decent Homes Standard. Enhan Living Conditions.. Implement proactive rna1ntenan and invest in modern, high-quality housing design. Improve ventilation by replament of the windows to address overheating issues. Explore the integration of long-term sustainability and low carty)n retrofit measures at Hyelm Old street. 3. Community Vi&thlity & Resident Well-bang To strengthen community engagement, support our tenant's well-being and create an environment where young residents can thrive. More specificalty we will.. Increase Community Engagement- Develop more resident-led activities and partnerships with local stakeholders. Improve Resident Support.. Offer financial planning resources and debt prevention programs. Enhan Membership & Representations: Redefine what it means to be a Hyelm member and create a Hyelm alumni. Involve residents more in governance and decision making. Forge partnerships to SUPPOrt residents, career growth and independen. Progress against the objectives within the Strategic Plan Our growth programme Regarding our growth programme, we adopted a strategy in 2013114 to disp)se of one of our existing properties, Arthur West House, with a view of using its capitsl receipt to develop and manage a further 250 bed-spaS of modern accommcxiation within Greater London by 2019. The expansion of the housing stk we manage is a key objective of the longer term strategy adopted by the Board. The propety, sold in 2014, generated a receipt of £30.05 million, some £6 million above the maximum forecast sale pri. The sale prOed5 were apportioned between HYELM and The Ames House Trus¢ which had a leasehold interest in Arthur West House. The amount received by HYELM amounted to £24,115,125, with the balance of £5,934,875 being reiVed by The Ames House Trust. We continue to consider our development options but the current economic situation continues tr) hinder progress. The value of the Colindale development site purchased in 2018 has reduced significantly since it was purchased and whilst this is currenuy only a paper loss, it is a significant factor when considering future development options. All options for the site remain under consideration and our expectation is that the market outlwk will improve, at least in the medium term, to enable this site to be used in the future to support the HYELM strategic development objertives.
HYELM Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 Report of the Board Our housing operations Our Old Street scheme is now seventeen years old. It was built to compty with (the then) Eco Home5 standards and achieved a Very G(x)d rating in this regard. During the course of the financial years 2023124 to 2027128, we will be carrying out major works at our Old Street scheme to remedy fire safety issues that were identified following investigations carried out following the Grenfell tragedy in June 2017. In addition to fire safety issues, a number of additional deferts were identiffied dating back to the construction of the building, and these defects will be remedied concurrently with the fire safety issues. The costs if this work will be met, at least in part by monies receNed from our insurers and the original contractor. To ensure best value for money, competitive tenders were sought, and value tested. The works are being undertaken over a four-year period to minimise disruption to our residents and the loss of rent income. Following the completion of the remedial works our forward plans for our Old Street scheme include provision for the regular Maintenan and refurbishment of the property to ensure that it continues to provide high standards of affordable accommodation that meet the expectation of our residents. To ensure that we achieve test value for money from the gcx)ds and servi5 that we procure, Standing Orders are in place that require competitive quotations to be sought for low value g(xJds, and for formal tendering ProdureS to be enacted for more valuable seiCe5. During the year to 30 September 2025 the following gocxls and seNices were tendered.. Gas and elertricity supplies,. Insuran cover; Building safety adviser,. Health & Safety adviser,. tr management servi. Sustainability consultants. Fire safety servIs. Where wssible, we make use of procurement exercises that have been undertaken by other organisations to ensure that best value has been obtsined. Old Street provides accommodation for young people at the beginning of their careers ensuring that they are accommcxlated in low cost, quality accommodation in a secure environment. Of the units available 74 bed-spaces provide intermediate nt accommodation for priority group workers. The remaining 51 bed spaces are provided for non-priority group workers. The Hyelm Group endeavours to provide rent&J accommodation to tenants which provides value for money when compared with rent charged for comparable properties. To ensure that the rent represents gd value for money, the Board has approved a wlicy of linking all rents to no more than 800/0 of the market rate. The use of the space on the ground flcK)r of the building continues to be reviewed. The office accommodation market declined during the Cowd pandemic and lettings have not returned to previous levels so much of the accommodation has been vacant during the financial year. The supply of electricity, and gas are retendered annually to ensure best value is obtsined, for both HYELM and our residents. Implementation of the Government's Future Homes Standard is designed to improve energy efficiency within buildings to help to redu energy consumption. We will review the requirements of the Future Homes standard to see what improvements can be made to reduce our energy costs and provide VFM for our residents by reducing their energy service charges costs.
HYELM Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 Report of the Board Our communities and people As part of our strategy ill relation to Our communities and people the rewsions to our stsfffing structure and job profiles has enabled us to.. Deliver business as usual,. Provide supwrt for our two major projects (Development and Fire Defect work); Effertively manage organisational risks; Manage building safety in line with Hackett review recommendations. Overall, there are very gocKI levels of satlsfaction with the SeiCe5 provided by HYELM, with all Tenant Satisfaction Neasures, as prescriLEd by the Regulator of Social Housing, scoring above the median level of our peers. Nine of those measures exedIng the higher perntlIe. Overall satisfaction amongst tenants was at 880/0. Satisfattion levels are highest for; Friendly and Approachable stsff.. 960/0 Maintenantr of Communal Areas: 94% HYELM is easy to deal with.. 910/0 Providing a safe home.. 890/0 On the other hand, satisfaction is lowest for,.

Satisfaction has decreased in 3 areas; The time taken for repairs, (from 930h to 870/0), Providing a safe home (from 920/0 to 890h) and overall satisfattion with HYELM (from 910th to 880/0). Some of the other measures we monitor are summarised in the table below other Measures Benchmark: Peer group median 4.040/0 HYELM 2022123 HYELM 2023124 HYELM 2024125 Current rent arrears Average re-let time (days) 0/0 of void losses 1.70/0 3.90/0 2.60/0 52 65.17 63.91 Our rent arrears figures have decreased since the previous year and are below the sertor average. This is due to closer management of arrears cases and earlier engagement with residents who fall behind with their nt payments. Average re-let times and the perntrge of void losses have also redu since the previous year reflerting increased management attention in these areas. The percentage of voids still compares unfavourably with the benchmark peer group and this is due to the need to provide vacant accommodation for contractors to carry out the fire safety works referred to above.
HYELM Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 Report of the Board Finance The accounts for the year ending 30 September 2025 have been prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Prattl (UK GAAP) including Financial Rewrting Standard 102 (FRS 102), the Housing SORP 2018.. Ststement of Recommended Practice for Registered Social Housing Providers and the Accounting Dirertion for private registered providers of social housing 2022. Following the sale of Arthur West House in 2014, HYELM only provides accommodation at its Old Street property. This is a mix of private rented accomm(Kiation and grant Support intermediate rent accomm(Kiation that IS tenarrted by priority group workers. Following the disposal of the Arthur West House site, management costs per unit increased as ntral costs previously all(xated to the property have bn retained but are supwrtirvJ the development programme, which will provide new accommodation on a numter of sites. Reporting against the 2018 Value for Money Standard The Hyelm Group has adopted the reporting requirements of the 2018 Value for Money Stsndard.

Delays in gaining planning approval and relief from the Community Infrastructure Levy for the Colindale scheme resuited in delays to the building programme, thus investment has keen less than planned in recent years. Metric 2- Supply Unlike many large Registered Providers, Hyelm does not have an annual development pr]ramme. Our investment in property relates to a $ITiC scheme and therefore the supply metric is not a relevant measure of performance. Metric 3- Gearing 2021122 2022123 2023124 2024125 actual actual actual actual Gearing Hyelm currently has one loan. Our investment in the new development will be funded at least in part by Hyelm's cash reserves, thus a5 the value of housing propertie5 increase as the development programme progresses gearing will decrease. On completion of our new developments Hyelm will have additional capacity for borrowing to support the development of additional accommodation and complete our strategic objective of providing further accommodation. Metric 4- Earnings before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation - Major Repairs Induded -40.16Wo -27.180/0 _20.920/0 _17.950/0 The EBDA MRI (Eamings before Interest Tax DepCiatIon and Amortisation - Major Repairs Included) interest cover measure is a key indicator for liquidity and investment capacity. It seeks to measure the level of surplus that a registered provider generates against interest payments (the measure avoids any distortions stemming from the depreciation charge). The need to provide vacant aCcommlation for the fire safety and remedial works, has led to a reduction in rent income, which coupled with higher management cost has led to a decrease in the interest cover. During 2021122 the level of interest cover increased significantly due to the recovery of monies for the fire safety works from our insurers and the original building contractor, but this was a one off receipt and the figures for later years reflect the earlier trend.

Metric 6- Operating Maryin The Operating Margin demonstrates the profitability of operating assets before exceptional expenses are taken into account.

The financial reporting framework that has tEen applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102'The Financial Reporting Stsndard Applicable in the UK and Ireland, (United Kingdom Generally Accepted the UK and Ireland,. In our opinion the financial statements.. give a true and fair view of the state of The Group s and the parent charitable company's affairs as at 30 September 2025 and of the group 5 incoming resources and application of resour, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended. have been properly prepared in accordan with United Kingdom Generally Apted Accounting Practi including FRS 102 the Financial Reporting Standard Applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for Registered Providers of S(Kial Housing 2022. and have been ppared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Art 2011. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordan with International Stsndards 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 financial statements sertion of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 respK)nsibilities in accordan with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is enough and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee5' 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 unrtaInbe$ relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability tr) continue as a going conrn for a ri(X1 of at least e1ve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going conrn are described in the relevant sections of this report. other information The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditorfs report thereon. The trust5 are responsible for the other information.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 50, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to materially misststed. If we identify such material inconsistencie5 or apparent material misststements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information.

HYELM Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRusfEES OF HYELM Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the information given in the trustees, annual rep)rt for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements,. and the trustee5' annual report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by eXptIon In the light of the knowledge and understsnding of the group and parent Charable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identrfied material misstatements in the trustees, annual report. We have nothing to report in respert of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us- or the parent charitable company's finanaal statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retum5,' or rtain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made; or we have not reiVed all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordan with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the Trustees, Annual Report and from preparing a strategic report. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 13, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial ststements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misststement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group and parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going COnrn, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going conrn basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and rep)rt in accordance with those Acts. 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 tr) issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordan with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misststements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in 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-complian with laws and regulations. We design ProdureS in line with our reswnsibilities, outlined aix)ve, to detert material misstatements in respect of irregularities, induding fraud. The extent to which our ProdureS are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, induding fraud The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are- to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud,. to obtsin sufficient appropriate audit eviden gardIng the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate sp)nses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to Instan of fraud or suspted fraud 15
HYELM Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRusfEES OF HYELM identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitsble company. Our approach was as follows: We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable company and considered that the most significant are The Housing and Regeneration Art 2008 and the Accounting Direction for Registered Providers of Social Housing 2022, and UK financial repxjrting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council. We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies With these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance. We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial ststements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governan. We inquired of management and those charyed with governan as to any known instances of non- Complian or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations. Based on this urKlerstanding, we designed specific appropriate audit prcKedure5 to identify instan5 of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governan and obtaining additional corroborative eviden as required. As part of an audit in accordan with ISAS (UK) we exercise professional judgement 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 reswnsive to those risks, and obtain audit eviden that 15 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
llusion, 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 circumstan, but not for the purtK)ses of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group and parent charitable cnmpany's internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit eviden obtained, whether a material UnrtaInty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group and parent charitsble company's ability to continue as a going COnrn. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disdosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtsined up to the date of our auditorfs report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group or parent charitable company 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 a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain suffficient appropriate audit eviden regarding the financial infomiation of the entities or business activities Within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are reswnsible for the direcbon, sUpei510n and performan of the group audit. We remain solely respx)nsible for our audit rewrt. 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 intemal control that we identify during our audit. There are inherent limitations in the audit predureS described above. We are less likely to become awa of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not dosely related to events and transartions flected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate COnalment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. 16

Classification of finanaal liabilities Financial liabilities and equity instruments are dassified according to the Substan of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that eviden$ a residual interest in the assets of the company after dedurting all its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans, loans from Group companies and preference sha$ that are classified as debt, are initially cOgnised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transartion, 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 costs, using the effective interest rate methcxj. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price are subsequently measured at amortised c05t using the effective interest methLXI. Judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the charitsble company's accounting PKJlicies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and assoaated assumptions are based on historical experien and other factors that a considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and in future perIS where the revision affects both current and future periods. In preparing these finanaal statements judgements have been made in resi*rt of the accounting treatment of the fire safety works which are not considered enhan the carrying value of the Od Street property and have therefore been written off in the Statement of Comprehensive income. 25
