Northern Ireland Co-ownership Housing Association Limited Report of the Board of Management and the Strategic Report The Board of Management {"Board-) presents its report. including its strategic report. for the year ended 31 March 2025 for Northern Ireland Co-ownership Housing Association Limited {-Co-Ownership"l and its subsidiary {together the -Group-}. The wholly owned subsidiary of Co-ownership is called Ownco Homes Limited (-Ownco'). Ctrownership is a registered charity with the Charity Commission for Northem Ireland. The Board of Co-ownership are the directors of the company and are the trustees of the charity. 1. Strategic Principal activity The principal activty of Co-ownership remains unchanged and is the provision of intermediate housing on a shared ownership basis for persons in need thereof. C(FOwnership provides a public benefit through helping enable families and individuals, who meet the criteria for relief of those in need. to have a home of their own through shared ownership. Ownco complements the Group by providing a route to home ownership when a full mortgage or Co-ownership are currently unattainable. Our Purpose: To enable people to become homeowners. Our Vision: To lead Ihe way on affordable home ownership. Our Values.. Putting customers first. working together. doing the right thing, and evolving and improving. Whilst the Group operates on not-for-profit principles. the generation of an annual surplus is vital to ensure the ongoing investment in new homes, to meet the commitments to lenders. and to generally ensure adequate protection against unforeseen circumstsnces. Co-ownership has developed a three year corporate plan which sets out an ambition to deliver on four primary objectives. These objectives are to extend its reach and impact on society. to be the best we can be for our customers, to be strong advocates and trusted partners for home ownership and to be a g￿at place to work with high performing teams delivering our s8rvice. The plan is on track to deliver the objectives within the agreed timetable. The key strengths of the Group which enable its primary objectives to be met are: A customer centric focus: A commitment to the highest standards of corporate govemance: A financial position which secures the confidence of funders, facilitating future investment and strategic growth opportunities: and Professional and dadicated staff vtho are committed to the Group's objectives. Review of business and future developments During the year Co-ownership helped customers purchase a total of 886 {2024.- 7711 properties and as a result the housing property portfolio increased in value from £513m to £541m. Staircasing activity levels were stronger, despite only a modest reduction in mortgage rates, with 551 full property sales transactions (2024: 448) and 102 partial staircases {68.. 2024). The level of repossession sales remained low and totalled 14 for the year (2024- 9). At 31 March 2025 Co-ownership had interests in 10,844 homes (2024: 10,523). The Board continues lo explore opportunities for enhancement of its services going forward. in response to a changing housing market. Interest in the Over 55 product. launched in 2022, has grown and 28 households were helped into their new home during the year bringing the total since launch to 51. The customer portal was enhanced during the year with the digitisation of the buyout process, and this has streamlined the customer experience for those wishing to staircase. The underlying need for affordable homes in Northern Ireland remains strong. although a lack of supply of homes and e¢onomi¢ uncertainty are challenges home buyers will continue to face in the year ahead. Changes to Local development plans by Councils should result in more mixed tenure deveFopments being built and Co-ownership will continue lo advocate the need for more intemiediate housing. Research into the barriers faced by disabled people to become homeowners has been conducted and it is hoped a new product will be launched next year. Ownco purchased 3 houses during the year, bringing the total purchased to 88. There were 11 property sales in the year, leaving 16 houses held in stock al 31 March 2025. Given the low levels of purchases in recent years, the decision to stop taking new applications was taken in April 2025. The existing tenancies are unaffeGted.

Northern Ireland Co-ownership Housing Association Limited Report of the Board of Management and the Strategic Report (continued) 2. Financial Financial perfomiance The surplus for the year amounted to £22.Om {2024'. surplus £17.9m). The increase is primarily due to an increase in the surplus on the sale of housing properties to £8.9m (2024.. £5.5m) as detailed in note 9, and an increase in rents to £16.6m {2024: £15.4m). The Department for Communities {DfC) provided Co-ownership with Financial Transaction Capital of £22m by way of long temi loans during the year, which together with Co-ownership's own resources funded the investment in homes. In April 2025, funding agreements were signed with the Department for Communtties to provide a further £153m of Financial Transactions Capital loan funding. which will enable Co-ownership to help a further 4,000 households buy their own home over the next four years. During the year sales proceeds generated £10.4m of Housing Association Grant (HAG) repayable to Dfc and in addition Co-ownership made £5m of loan repayments to Dfc. A loan facility of £65m with Bank of Ireland remains in place for a further four years. Of this facility, £30m was drawn throughout the year. At the year-end the Group had cash and deposit balances of £77m {2024: £75m), net current assets of £68m {2024.. £68m) and total net assets of £181m (2024: £160m). Co-ownership s policy is to retain a level of free rese￿es, which rnatches its needs at the current time and in the foreseeable future. The reseNes required are sufficient to meeting committed running costs for a period equivalent to six months budgeted future expenditure. The rental income is anticipated to be £17m in the next financial year. The Board are satisfied with the underlying financial perfomiance of the Group. They are of the view that for the foreseeable future Co-ownership will continue to generate sufficient operating surplus to cover its operating and financing costs and have sufficient finance to fund its ongoing activities for a period of at least 12 months. It therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the annual financial statements. Events after the Balance Sheet date The group has no post balance sheet date events to disclose. Value for Money (Vfm) The focus on Vfm and continuous improvement is an important aspect to the delivery of our corporate strategy. It is recognised that the focus is not just about cost savings and financial improvement, but that Vfm is integrated into the culture and operations of the organisation. Value is defined from the perspective of our customers and stakeholders in any service or process, where economy, efficiency and effectiveness are considered in everything that we do whilst having regard to Quality ol service. Our approach to Vfm is to ensure the combined efforts of the organisation and ils resources are focused on what makes a difference for our customers and stakeholders. This is done through setting objectives, measuring and assessing our efforts against targets so the impact ofourwork is understood, and that leamings can be taken and used to shape future plans with an aim to be constantly improving and evolving. The Finance & Perfomiance Committee oversee the delivory of Vfm through review and challenge. which includes the review of business cases. contracts registers and perfonnance indicators. Key performance indicators for the year showed the following outcomes against target: The number of home aGceptances issued was 891 (target 9001. The average home purchase pri￿ was £153.719 {target £154.500). The average customer starter share was 59°h (target 57 /.). The number of customers who bought out was 551 (target 450). The average time taken to provide an initial approval to applicants was 2 days (target 5 days). The average time taken to issue an acceptance was 11 days (tsrget 19 days). The net promoter score for customers who would recommend Co-ownership was 97°A (Target 75°A). The Board consider that Co-ownership provided good value for money to both its custorners and its stakeholders during the last year, particularly given the challenges facing the housing market in Northern Ireland.

Therefore, the risk management strategies and operational processes employed by the Group ensure that such exposure is controlled. Interest rate risk The Group has both interest bearing assets and interest bearing liabilities. Interest bearing assets include Gash balances which are held on deposit. Interest bearing liabilities consist of bank loans that bear interest at normal commercial rates.

19 Northern Ireland Co4)wnership Housing Association Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued) Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amount receivable for goods supplied or services rendered, net of retums, discounts and rebates allowed by the Group and Co-ownership and value added taxe5. The Group and Co-ownership bases its estimate of returns on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer. the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. Where the consideration receivable in cash and cash equivalents is deferred and the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. the fair value of the consideration is measured at the present value of all future receipts using the imputed rate of interest. The Group and Co-ownership recognises revenue when {a) the signtficant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. (b) the Group and Co-ownership retains no continuing involvement or control over the goods- (c) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably- (dl it is probable that futu￿ economic benefits will flow through the Group and Co-ownership and lel when the specific criteria relating to each of Ihe Group and Co-ownership's sales channels have been met, as described below and in note 5. Rentsl income Income represents rental income receivable. Rentsl income is recognised from the point that the properties are formally let and spread over the rental temi. First tranche equity sales Proceeds from the first tranche disposals are accounted for as tumover in the Statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the disposal 0￿UrS which is the legal completion date. Donations received Donations received are fecognised in the Statement of cOMp￿hen$1ve income when the donation is received.

20 Northern Ireland Co-ownership Housing Association Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued) Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Pension funding Retirement benefits to employees of Co-ownership are provided by the Northern Ireland Local Govemment Officers Superannuation Committee {NILGOSC) defined benefit scheme which is extemally funded and contracted out of the State Eamings Related Pension Scheme. In respect of this scheme, C¢>Ownership's staff constitutes only a small percentage of the overall membership. Co-ownership has no influence over the level of contributions. The assets of the NILGOSC scheme are held separately from those of Co-ownership. Co-ownership has adopted FRS 102 section 28'Employee benefits. in these financial statements. Pension scheme assets are measured using market value. Pension scheme liabilities are measured using the projected unit method and disGounted at the current rate of retum on a high quality corporate bond of equivalent term to the liability. The movement in the present value of the liabilities of Co-ownership's defined benefit pension scheme arising from employee seNice in the year is charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Under FRS 102. a net interest expense. based on the net defined benefit liability. is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. A net defined benefit asset is only recognised to the extent that the surplus is able to be recovered etther through reduced contributions in the future or through refunds from the scheme. The contributions are determined by qualified actuaries on the basis of triennial valuations, using a projected unit method. Tangible fixed assets Housing properties Housing properties are stated at cost which is purchase price together with any incidental costs of acquisition. These properties are eff8ctively purchased concurrently by Co-ownership and participants and 50 are disclosed in fixed assets al the cost to Co-ownership with the participants. net investment also disclosed in the housing properties note to the financial statements. Housing properties are not depreciated as the Group estirnates thal the residual value is higher than the historical cost before charging any depreciation. Any impairment in the value of the housing properties is charged to the statement of comprehensive income in the year in which it is first recognised. A reversal of impaimient is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. other tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at historic purchase cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of tangible fixed assets is their historic purchase cost. together with any incidental costs of acquisition. Depreciation is calculated after allowing for grants received. so as to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight line basis over the expected useful economic lives of the assets concemed. The principal annual rates used are as follows- Office equipment Fixtures and fittings 25 10 Derecognition Tangible assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefrts are expecled. On disposal the difference belween the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.

21 Northern Ireland Co-ownership Housing Association Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued) Summary of significant accounting policies {continued) Housing Associatlon Grant and other grants Housing Association Grant and other grants received are included within 'Creditors= amounts falling due after more than one year, and 'Creditors.' amounts falling due within one year,. Housing Association Grant received against revenue expenditure is credited to revenue in the period in which the relaled expenditure is charged. Such grants, although treated as a grant for accounting purposes, may be repayable under certain circumstances, primarily following the sale of housing property. but any amount repayable would be restricted to the original grant amount. Housing Association Grants received are capital grants and as they relate to house purchases are not recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. rather they are held as a liability on the balance sheet until the housing investment is sold at which point the grant is repaid. Other grants relating to revenue are recognised in income and expenditure over the same period as the expenditure to which they relate On￿ perfomiance related condff(ions have been met. Stock The costs relating to expected future property sales are transferred from housing properties in fixed assets to inventories for sales occurring one month following the year end. Current asset investments Current asset investments are short-temi. liquid deposrts with an original maturity b¢￿een one and ￿e1ve months. All current asset inveslments are classtfied as cash equivalents within the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents Cash consists of cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents consist of short-temi, highly liquid deposits held at call or at notice with banks wilh Original maturities of tsvelve months or less. Debtors Debtors are stated after all known bad debts have been written off and specific provision has been made against all debts considered doubtful for collection. Houslng loans All borrowings are initially stated at the fair value of the consideration received. Finance costs are charged to the income and expenditure account over the temi of the borrowings. Interest payable but not yet paid at the year-end is shown as accrued interest within creditors due within one year.

22 Northern Ireland Co-ownership Housing Association Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued) Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Impairnient of non-financial assets At each statement of financial position date non-financial assets not caffied at fair value are assessed to determine whether there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. If there is suth an indication the recoverable amount of the asset is compared to the carying amount of the asset. The recoverable amount of the asset is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is defined as the present value of the future cash flows before interest and tax obtsinable as a result of the asset's conts'nued use. These cash flows discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that represents the current market risk- free rate and the risks inherent in the a55ets. If the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to be lower than the Carrying amount, Ihe carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impaimient k)ss is recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings, unless the asset has been revalued when the amount is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation. Thereafter any excess is recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings. If an impainnent loss is subsequently reversed. the carying arnount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. but only to the extent that the revised carying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been detemiined (net of depreciation or amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income and retained earnings. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events. it is probable that an oufflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation,. and the amount of the obligations can be estimated reliably. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an oufflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even ifthe likelihood of an oufflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Contingenei•s Contingent liabilities, arising as a result of past events, are not recognisad when {1) it is not probable that there will be an oufflow of resources or that the amount cannot be reliably measured at the reporting date or {ii) when the existence will be confinned by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events nol wholly within the Group's control. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the financial statements unless the probability of an oufflow of resources is remote. Operating leases Annual rentals on operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the temi of the lease.

23 Northern Ireland Co-ownership Housing Association Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued) Summary of significant accounting policies {continued) Financial instruments The Group has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. Financial assets Basic financial assets. including trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price. At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impaimient. If an asset is impaired the impaimient loss is the dtfference between the carrying amount and the expected realisable value of the asset. The impaimient loss is recognised in Statement of income and retained earnings. If there is a decrease in the impaimient loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impaimient is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in Statement of income and retained eamings. Financial assets are derecognised when {a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are setded, (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another paty or, Ic) de5Plte having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership. control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third paty without imposing additional restrictions. Financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans and other borrowings, 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. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction Costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, Ihe fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidty services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have ba8n 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 and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Revenue reserves C¢>Ownership's policy is to retain a level of fr88 reserves, v4hich matches its needs at the current time and in the foreseeable future. The reserves required are sufficienl to meeting committed running costs for a period equivalent to six months budgeted future expendtture. Designated reserve - property purchase All other reserves are treated as designated reserves as they are used to ftjnd Co-ownership's investment in housing properties and thus are not available for future general use. Transfers between reserves are made to retain committed running costs for a period equivalent to six months of budgeted future expenditure within the Revenue reserve.

24 Northern Ireland Co-ownership Housing Association Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued) Critical accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty Estimates and judgements made in the process of preparing the Group financial statements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors. including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical judgement in applying the entity's accounting policies The following judgement, apart from those involving estimates, made by the directors has had significant effect on the amounts recognised in the finan￿21 statements; Co-ownership provides housing on a shared ownership basis. Under the arrangement Co-ownership has with a lender on an individual propety, the lender ranks in priority to Co-ownership and therefo￿ if the borrower fails to pay the lender. the property could be repossessed by that lender. Co-ownership has incurred losses on repossessed properties over recent years. As a result, it is necessary to recognise an impairment provision for future losses expected on the repossession of such properties. When calculating the provision management consider the historical losses incurred. and current property values based on recent transactions and apply an expected loss ratio to the book value of properties. Estimation uncertalnty In applying the entity's accounting pollcles In preparing the financial statements the recoverability of debtors and the level of impaimient on housing properties has been considered. A provision for bad debts has been made for the estimated amount of debtors that are considered to be unrecoverable. The level of provision held at the year end is set out in note 18. A provision for the impairment on housing assets has been made for the estirnated amount of investment that is considered to be unrealisable. Management take into account factors including the broader Northem Ireland property market. the yield level of the properties and other known factors as part of this consideration. There has been a release of £1.1m this year due to the improvement in the housing market since the prior year end. The level of impairment provision at the year end is set out in note 13. The underlying assumptions relating to the valuation of the Group's defined benefrt pension scheme position include estimates of inflation, mortality. discount rate and anlicipated salary increase5. The Group uses the Group's actuaries to value the scheme's assets and liabilities. The assumptions used are also provided by the Group's actuaries and have not been adjusted. Variations in these assumptions, along with movements in asset valuations. can be expected to significantly alter the net pension position from year to year.
