Strategic report

The Directors present their strategic report for Kenrick No. 3 Plc (the Company) for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Business model, objectives and future developments

The principal activity of the Company is the holding of secured residential mortgage portfolios.

On 25 January 2018, the Company acquired a 99% beneficial interest in a mortgage portfolio secured on residential properties located in England and Wales. The assets were acquired from West Bromwich Building Society (the Seller), the originator of the mortgages. The acquisition of these loans was financed by the issue of mortgage backed floating rate loan notes (GBP350,000,000 Class A and GBP33,100,000 Class B floating rate notes with a final maturity date of October 2054). The notes are listed on the London Stock Exchange.

The securitisation structure has been established as a means of raising finance for West Bromwich Building Society and its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the securitisation transaction the activities of the Company are managed through a series of agreements whereby the Company retains the rights to a profit of GBP1,000 per annum, subject to there being sufficient available revenue receipts. Deferred consideration is payable to West Bromwich Building Society to the extent to which surplus income is generated by the residential mortgage assets to which the Company holds the beneficial title.

The Company's tax charge is based on the tax treatment of the Securitisation Companies Regime.

The principal asset of the Company is a beneficial interest in a mortgage portfolio, which is classified as a deemed loan in the Company's statement of financial position, as described in note 1. The deemed loan is subject to economic factors affecting the residential loan market and reviewed annually for impairment.

The Directors are not, at the date of this report, aware of any likely major changes in the Company's activities in the next year.

Results and review of the business

The Company's profit before tax for the year of GBP1,254,000 (2021: profit GBP514,000) has been transferred to reserves.

The Statement of Financial Position on page 11 of the financial statements shows the Company's financial position at the period end date.

Key performance indicators

The key performance indicators used by management in assessing the performance of the Company are monitoring of actual cash flows against planned cash flows within the scheduled waterfall of payments and the level of arrears in the underlying mortgage portfolio.

During the period, the Company made all required payments on the loan notes and paid all normal operating expenses.

At 31 March 2022, there were no loans with arrears of three months or more in the underlying mortgage portfolio (2021: nil).

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Company's financial instruments comprise a deemed loan to West Bromwich Building Society (equivalent to the value of its investment in the mortgages held in trust), cash and liquid resources, derivatives and a subordinated loan between the Company and West Bromwich Building Society. The Company is a securitisation company and has been structured so as to avoid, as far as possible, all forms of financial risk.

As explained above, during the period, the Company has made all required payments on the loan notes and paid all normal operating expenses.

Whilst we've recently experienced a return to some form of normality as levels of COVID-19 restrictions were lifted by the end our financial year, the period was dominated by the implications of the pandemic. The economic impacts have still to become clear as the various government support schemes unwind and, despite some initial positive signs, such as the strength of the employment market, a level of uncertainty remains. Recent events such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with its significant humanitarian and geopolitical consequences, have added to this uncertainty. With inflation at its highest level for three decades, and set to stay relatively high for some time, we are also faced with a 'cost of living' challenge, which will undoubtedly affect the household budgets of many.

It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Company's policy that no trading in financial instruments be undertaken.

The principal risks arising from the Company's financial instruments are credit risk and interest rate risk. These, and other risks which may affect the Company's performance, are detailed below and in note 2 to the financial statements.

Credit risk

Credit risk can be described as the risk of customers or counterparties being unable to meet their financial obligations to the Company as they become due.

The ability of the Company to pay loan interest and principal will depend on the amount and timing of payment of interest on the mortgage loans and the repayment of principal by the borrowers. Credit risk arises on the individual loans within the mortgage loan portfolio which are in turn secured on the underlying UK residential properties. The performance of these loans is therefore influenced by the economic background and the UK residential property market. Under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) the beneficial interest in the mortgage portfolio is classified as a deemed loan in the Company's Statement of Financial Position.

In terms of administrator/cash management, the Company has engaged the West Bromwich Building Society to monitor repayments on the mortgage loans in accordance with its credit policies. West Bromwich Building Society is also responsible for ensuring residential loans in the Trust loan pool meet the eligibility criteria at loan and pool level.

As the Company is only required to make repayments of interest and principal to the extent that repayments are received from the mortgage administrator in respect of the mortgage loans, impairment losses on the deemed loan are not borne by the Company but by the Seller (in terms of impacting the Company's ability to pay deferred consideration and repay principal and interest on the subordinated loan provided to the Company by the Seller).

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk exists where assets and liabilities have interest rates set under a different basis or which reset at different times. The Company minimises its exposure to interest rate risk by ensuring that the interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities are similar. Where this is not possible the Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps have therefore been entered into to manage the Company's exposure to interest rate risk.

LIBOR ceased after 31st December 2021. In order to ensure no negative effect on the Company's interest rate risk exposure after LIBOR cessation, the company has, with the consent of its noteholders, amended the margins on all of its LIBOR liabilities and fixed rate swap.

Strategic report (continued)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company either does not have sufficient financial resources to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due or can secure such resources only at excessive cost. The Company's policy to mitigate liquidity risk is through the use of a subordinated loan from West Bromwich Building Society.

The loan notes are obligations solely of the Company and will not be the responsibility of, or guaranteed by, any other entity. In particular, the loan notes will not be obligations or responsibilities of, or guaranteed by, the Seller or any of its affiliates. However due to the limited recourse nature of the Notes the Company is only obliged to make repayments of interest and principal in respect of the Notes to the extent that repayments are received from the mortgage administrator in respect of the mortgage loans. Further details of the loan notes are given in note 12.

Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss and/or the negative impact on the Company resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, inability to attract, retain and motivate people, or from external events.

The activities of the Company are strictly governed by the transaction documents and Prospectus which are designed to facilitate effective and efficient operations whilst managing the risk of failure to achieve business objectives. The Company does not have any employees and has entered into contracts with a number of third parties whose responsibilities are determined by the transaction agreements.

The Company's operations are managed by West Bromwich Building Society, which has established a thorough operational risk framework which

involves a Group Operational and Conduct Risk team, which co-ordinates regular reviews with the function managers and collates the output for review by Executive management, the Operational, Conduct and Information Risk Group and the Group Risk Committee.

The Company's operations are also subject to periodic review by the Internal Audit function of West Bromwich Building Society.

Capital risk management

The Company is not subject to any external capital requirements except for the minimum requirement under the Companies Act 2006. The Company has not breached the minimum requirement.

Section 172 Statement

The Company has included a Section 172 statement to explain how the Directors have considered the views of stakeholders as part of long-term decision making.

Obligations included within the new statement require directors to act in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the organisation and in doing so have regard to a number of key areas:

- The likely consequences of any decision in the long term;

- How constructive relationships with wider stakeholder groups are fostered;

- How any community and environmental impacts of our operations are considered;

- How a reputation for high standards of business conduct is maintained; and

- The need to act fairly and balance the interests of stakeholders.

The entity's key stakeholders are its parent undertaking and noteholders, its customers as well as the regulator. The entity does not have any employees and

does not occupy stand-alone premises thereby minimising the community and environmental impacts.

A summary of the entity's engagement with its key stakeholders is presented below. Additionally, the WBBS Group makes use of feedback from

engagement with its wider stakeholder group including investors, intermediaries and suppliers to ensure it is achieving high standards of business conduct.

Information included in the strategic report

In accordance with Section 414(c) of the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors Report) Regulations 2013, the Company has prepared a strategic report that contains information that would have previously been included in the Directors' report, which includes the principal activities of the company and review of the business and the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the company.

Directors' report (continued)

Statement of Directors' responsibilities in respect of the strategic report, Directors' report and the financial statements

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulation.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have prepared the financial statements in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and international financial reporting standards adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union.

Under company law, Directors 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 company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are required to:

-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-- state whether applicable UK-adopted international accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained

in the financial statements;

-- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

-- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors are also responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

Directors' confirmations

In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors' report is approved:

-- so far as the Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware; and

-- they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a Director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

The Company is out of the scope of the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR), as it does not meet the numerical thresholds in relation to turnover and number of employees.

Representing MaplesFS UK Corporate Director No.1 Limited, Director

22 August 2022

Independent auditor's report to the members of Kenrick No. 3 Plc Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

In our opinion, Kenrick No. 3 Plc's financial statements:

-- give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its profit and cash flows for the year then ended;

-- have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards; and

-- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

We have audited the financial statements, included within the annual report and financial statements (the "Annual Report"), which comprise: statement of financial position as at 31 March 2022; statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and the notes to the financial statements, which include a description of the significant accounting policies.

Our opinion is consistent with our reporting to the directors.

Separate opinion in relation to international financial reporting standards adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union

As explained in note 1 to the financial statements, the company, in addition to applying UK-adopted international accounting standards, has also applied international financial reporting standards adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union.

In our opinion, the company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standards adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) ("ISAs (UK)") and applicable law. Our responsibilities under ISAs (UK) are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We remained independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, which includes the FRC's Ethical Standard, as applicable to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, we declare that non-audit services prohibited by the FRC's Ethical Standard were not provided.

We have provided no non-audit services to the company in the period under audit.

Our audit approach

Overview

Audit scope

-- The scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures performed were determined by our risk assessment and other qualitative

factors (including evaluation of history of misstatement through fraud or error).

-- We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed sufficient work to enable us to opine on the financial statements.

-- We identified all material financial statement line items and disclosures, including those that were considered qualitatively material, and conducted our

work over these accordingly.

Key audit matters

-- Incentive for the Servicer to mis-represent performance of the underlying asset pool

-- Errors in the priority of payments (the "Waterfalls")

Materiality

-- Overall materiality: GBP2,049,584 (2021: GBP2,517,000) based on 1% of total assets.

-- Performance materiality: GBP1,537,188 (2021: GBP1,887,000).

The scope of our audit

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in the auditors' professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) identified by the auditors, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters, and any comments we make on the results of our procedures thereon, were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

This is not a complete list of all risks identified by our audit.

Impact of Covid-19 and Errors in the accounting due to lack of understanding of the underlying transaction, which were key audit matters last year, are no longer included because of our consideration of the pandemic in the current year is adequately captured by other key audit matters, and the risk in accounting of securitisation remains consistent year on year, respectively. These do not represent areas of increased audit focus in their own rights.

Otherwise, the key audit matters below are consistent with last year.

How we tailored the audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the company, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which it operates.

At the planning stage we obtained an understanding of the entity and its environment, considering the company's operations, ownership and governance structures, accounting framework, selection of accounting policies and the company's objectives and strategies. We obtained an understanding of the internal control environment, including in relation to IT. Industry level factors were also considered, including applicable laws and regulations. Based on these initial planning procedures, we performed our risk assessment at the account balance and assertion level, considering the risks of material misstatement through fraud or error. The scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures were designed, planned and executed with consideration of our risk assessment, the financial significance of account balances, and other qualitative factors (e.g. history of error or misstatements). We performed audit procedures over all account balances and disclosures which we considered to be material and/or represent a risk of material misstatement to the financial statements.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. We set certain quantitative thresholds for materiality. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures on the individual financial statement line items and disclosures and in evaluating the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for the financial statements as a whole as follows:

 
Overall company materiality  GBP2,049,584 (2021: 
                              GBP2,517,000). 
How we determined it         1% of total assets 
                             --------------------------- 
Rationale for benchmark      As SPE is established 
 applied                      as a not for profit 
                              entity, funded almost 
                              entirely by debt, it 
                              follows that users may 
                              focus their attention 
                              on the SPE's total assets 
                              as suggested by ISA 
                              (UK) 320 paragraph A3. 
                              It is therefore considered 
                              appropriate that overall 
                              materiality can, in 
                              the context of an SPE 
                              audit, be calculated 
                              as 1% of total assets. 
                             --------------------------- 
 

We use performance materiality to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds overall materiality. Specifically, we use performance materiality in determining the scope of our audit and the nature and extent of our testing of account balances, classes of transactions and disclosures, for example in determining sample sizes. Our performance materiality was 75% (2021: 75%) of overall materiality, amounting to GBP1,537,188 (2021: GBP1,887,000) for the company financial statements.

In determining the performance materiality, we considered a number of factors - the history of misstatements, risk assessment and aggregation risk and the effectiveness of controls - and concluded that an amount at the upper end of our normal range was appropriate.

We agreed with the directors that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above GBP102,479 (2021: GBP125,850) as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Our evaluation of the directors' assessment of the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:

-- Inspection of transaction documents to verify that Notes are limited recourse in all circumstances and that certain expenses can be deferred if there are

insufficient funds;

-- Inspection of post year-end investor reports for pertinent changes in cash flows, such as deterioration in the performance of the mortgage loans or

uncleared write offs on the principal deficiency ledgers;

-- Review of the events of default set out in the transaction documents and verification that no trigger breaches had occurred; and

-- Enquiries of the Servicer to understand the current impact of COVID-19 on the mortgage loans and its ability to continue to service the mortgage loans.

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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial

statements is appropriate.

However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this conclusion is not a guarantee as to the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Reporting on other information

The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, any form of assurance thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify an apparent material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required to perform procedures to conclude whether there is a material misstatement of the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 based on these responsibilities.

With respect to the Strategic report and Directors' report, we also considered whether the disclosures required by the UK Companies Act 2006 have been included.

Based on our work undertaken in the course of the audit, the Companies Act 2006 requires us also to report certain opinions and matters as described below.

Strategic report and Directors' report

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, the information given in the Strategic report and Directors' report for the year ended 31 March 2022 is consistent with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we did not identify any material misstatements in the Strategic report and Directors' report.

Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' responsibilities in respect of the strategic report, Directors' report and the financial statements, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable framework and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as they determine 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 directors are responsible for assessing the company'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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' 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 auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to a breach of the listing requirements of the London Stock Exchange under which the offering circular dated 23 January 2018 was issued or of the underlying transaction documents, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to inappropriate adjustments in preparing the financial statements. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

-- Making inquiries of those charged with governance in relation to known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud.

-- Testing of the reconciliation and consistency of the year end servicer's reports to the financial statements and underlying bank statements of the

Company.

-- Testing, on a sample basis, that the priority of payments has been applied in accordance with the transaction documents.

-- Testing journals using a risk-based approach and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected 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 concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

Our audit testing might include testing complete populations of certain transactions and balances, possibly using data auditing techniques. However, it typically involves selecting a limited number of items for testing, rather than testing complete populations. We will often seek to target particular items for testing based on their size or risk characteristics. In other cases, we will use audit sampling to enable us to draw a conclusion about the population from which the sample is selected.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors' report.

Use of this report

This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the company's members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Other required reporting

Companies Act 2006 exception reporting

Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:

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

-- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by

us; or

-- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

-- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns.

We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility.

   1          Accounting policies 

Kenrick No. 3 Plc (the Company) is a public limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom and registered in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. The Company's registered office and principal activities are set out on pages 1 and 2 respectively.

The principal accounting policies applied consistently in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under those standards. The Company has also applied international financial reporting standards adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of derivatives at fair value through profit or loss.

The financial statements are presented in pounds Sterling and, except where otherwise indicated, have been rounded to the nearest thousand.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, as defined in 'IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements'. In order to prepare financial statements on this basis, the directors must conclude that management does not intend to liquidate the Company or cease trading, and that the Company has the ability to continue to trade and will be able to satisfy its liabilities as they fall due.

As a result of the transaction documents governing the Company's mortgage backed floating rate note borrowings described in note 12, the Company will

continue to trade in the same way as it did in the year ended 31 March 2022 until either:

-- All of the class A and B notes are repaid from principal cash flows arising from the Company's mortgage portfolio;

-- The call option, exercisable for the first time on the earlier of: 11th January 2023, when the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the notes is equal to or less than 10% of the issued notes principal amount, or when there is a change in tax law which has certain impacts on the Company as specified in the securitisation prospectus, is exercised; or

-- The final repayment date for the notes in October 2054 is reached.

The directors have reviewed the balance sheet performance of the company and consider that it is unlikely that any of these events will occur during the next 12 months.

Before this point, repayments of the principal liabilities of the Company, the mortgage backed floating rate notes described in note 12, are limited to available principal cash received on the Company's loan portfolio until the final repayment date. Therefore, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence until this point, satisfying all liabilities as they fall due.

On that basis, the directors have concluded that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements.

New or amended accounting standards

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) have issued a number of new amended accounting standards and interpretations but are not effective for the twelve months ended 31 March 2022. Other than the change noted below, which is undergoing assessment, all other changes are not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys's financial statements.

-- Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7)

In August 2020, the IASB issued Phase 2 of Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16. The amendments provide practical expedients in respect of accounting for changes to financial assets and liabilities where the modification is as a direct result of the IBOR reforms. The amendments allow firms to account for the modification to the asset or liability by applying the updated effective interest rate following a transition to a new benchmark interest rate to value the financial asset or liability, rather than continuing to discount the asset or liability at the original discount rate and recognising a gain or loss in the Income Statement as per the usual requirements under IFRS 9 for modifications of financial assets and liabilities. The Company has applied the amendments for the current financial year which has no material impact.

   1          Accounting policies (continued) Interest receivable and expense 

Interest receivable and expense are recognised in the income statement for all instruments measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest income on defaulted loans categorised as 'stage 3' under IFRS 9 is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the balances net of provisions for expected credit losses.

Deferred consideration

Under the terms of the securitisation agreements, the Company retains the rights to a profit of GBP1,000 p.a. subject to there being sufficient available revenue receipts. Amounts in excess of this accrue to West Bromwich Building Society as deferred consideration.

Effective interest rate

The effective interest rate method is the method used to calculate the amortised cost of financial instruments and to recognise interest receivable or payable over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows or receipts through the expected life of the instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period, to its carrying amount. The main impact for the Company relates to estimating the expected lives for mortgage advances, in particular the average length of the reversion period subsequent to a fixed or discounted rate period coming to an end, as the effective interest rate is a blend of the interest rates in both the initial fixed period and the expected reversion period. In addition, where mortgage advances have upfront fees, such as application and arrangement fees, and costs, these are incorporated into the calculation. This has the effect of spreading these fees and costs over the expected life of the mortgage.

Financial instruments

a) Financial assets

Under IFRS 9, financial assets are classified based on the business model under which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows.

Amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if they are held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows and have contractual terms which give rise on specified dates to cash flows which are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the outstanding amount.

Assets measured at amortised cost are initially recognised at fair value, being the cash consideration to originate or purchase the asset including any directly attributable transaction costs, and measured subsequently using the effective interest method.

This category includes cash and cash equivalents and the deemed loan asset.

Deemed loan

The loans and advances to customers legally sold to the Company fail the derecognition criteria of IFRS 9 (and its predecessor IAS 39) as West Bromwich Building Society (the Seller) has retained significant risk and rewards of ownership and therefore these loans remain on the Statement of Financial Position of the Seller. IFRS 9 (and its predecessor IAS 39) therefore requires the Seller to recognise a deemed loan financial liability on its Statement of Financial Position and the resulting deemed loan asset is held on the Company's Statement of Financial Position. This deemed loan initially represents the consideration paid by the Company in respect of the acquisition and the beneficial ownership of the securitised loans and advances to customers and is subsequently adjusted due to repayments made by the Seller to the Company.

The deemed loan balance is shown net of any deferred consideration, start up loan and subordinated loan payable to West Bromwich Building Society. Similarly, interest receivable on the deemed loan is presented net of deferred consideration, start up loan and subordinated loan interest payable.

Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets which do not meet the classification criteria to be held at amortised cost are measured at FVTPL.

This category includes derivative assets. The fair values of derivatives are based on level 2 valuation techniques, as described in note 2. Changes in the fair value of derivative assets are presented as net fair value gains/(losses) on derivatives in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Interest arising on derivative financial instruments is recognised within net interest on an accruals basis.

b) Financial liabilities

In accordance with IFRS 9, all of the Company's financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost except for financial

liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

Amortised cost

This category includes debt securities in issue.

Liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost are recognised initially at fair value, being the issue proceeds, net of premia, discounts and directly attributable transaction costs incurred. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

This category includes derivative liabilities. The fair values of derivatives are based on level 2 valuation techniques, as described in note 2. Changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities are presented as net fair value gains/(losses) on derivatives in the statement of comprehensive income. Interest arising on derivative financial instruments is recognised within net interest on an accruals basis.

c) Impairment of financial assets

Impairment of financial assets

Expected credit losses (ECLs) are recognised for all financial assets carried at amortised cost under IFRS 9.

The year end modelled ECL has been updated where necessary. The macroeconomic scenarios have been updated to reflect the latest economic position in the UK at the reporting date, including assumptions of the economy's recovery following COVID-19 lockdowns, the cost of living squeeze and rising interest rates.

Staging

At each reporting date, financial assets subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9 are categorised into one of three stages:

Stage 1

On initial recognition, financial assets which are not credit impaired are categorised as stage 1 and provision is made for 12-month ECLs, being the losses from default events expected to occur within the next 12 months. Assets remain in stage 1 until such time as they meet the criteria for another stage or are derecognised.

Stage 2 (significant increase in credit risk)

Financial assets which are not in default, but have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, are categorised as stage 2. The loss allowance recognised is equivalent to lifetime ECL, being the loss arising from default events expected to occur over the lifetime of the financial asset.

Determining whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred is a critical aspect of the IFRS 9 methodology and one which involves judgement, based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures. As described in the ECL calculation sections which follow, the criteria applied vary across portfolios depending on the nature of the portfolio and availability of relevant credit risk information but all include the IFRS 9 'backstop' of 30 days past due as a stage 2 trigger.

Stage 3 (default)

Defaulted or credit-impaired financial assets are categorised stage 3, requiring recognition of lifetime ECLs.

Transfers to lower stages (curing)

Financial assets in stages 2 or 3 can transfer back to stages 1 or 2, respectively, once the criteria for significant increase in credit risk or default cease to be met for a period of time defined within the ECL methodology for that portfolio, sometimes known as the 'cure' period. In practice, this means that a stage 2 or 3 loan which ceases to breach the threshold(s)/criteria for that stage will remain in the higher stage for a pre-determined number of months. The use of cure periods gives assurance that accounts have rehabilitated before re-entering lower stages and reduces the level of volatility that might otherwise arise from accounts regularly migrating between stages.

Forward-looking ECL approach

ECL is measured as the present value of the difference between the cash flows contractually due on a financial asset and the cash flows expected to be received. In the Statement of Financial Position, the loss allowance is presented as a reduction in the carrying value of the financial asset.

For the Company's mortgage portfolio, the estimate of ECL is unbiased and probability-weighted, taking into account a range of possible outcomes. In accordance with IFRS 9, forecasts of future economic conditions are integral to the ECL calculations for each portfolio. The Company currently models four forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios: a central forecast with economic assumptions aligned to the West Bromwich Building Society Group (the Group) Medium Term Plan (and therefore assigned the highest probability), together with upside, downside and stress scenarios. The scenarios have been updated with due regard to the latest market data available following developments associated with the pandemic.

ECL calculation - deemed loan

The loss allowance held against the deemed loan is determined based on the IFRS 9 provision requirements for the underlying mortgage portfolio. The residential impairment model employs industry-accepted statistical techniques to address the complex requirements of IFRS 9, with model assumptions and parameters initially determined by regression analysis of the West Bromwich Building Society Group's (the Group's) historical default data. The assumptions are validated using 'out of time' samples, across a range of economic scenarios, enabling the predictive capabilities of the models to be confirmed.

The model incorporates quantitative factors for identifying a significant increase in credit risk by comparing reporting date lifetime probability of default (PD) with residual origination lifetime PD. Residual origination PD curves and (relative and absolute) threshold levels are established via an iterative process involving statistical analysis of the Group's default data. In addition, a range of internally monitored potential impairment indicators have been selected as qualitative criteria for classifying an individual loan as stage 2. Examples of qualitative indicators include cancelled direct debit instructions, certain forbearance measures and evidence of impaired credit history obtained from external agencies.

Loans in the underlying portfolio are considered to be in default or credit-impaired if they are in arrears by three or more months, in litigation, possession

or LPA receivership or meet one of a range of internal 'unlikely to pay' indicators.

Within the residential impairment model, ECL is calculated by multiplying forward-looking probability of default (PD), exposure at default (EAD) and loss given default (LGD). The model outputs monthly ECLs, which are aggregated over the first 12 months to obtain 12-month ECL and over the life of the loan to calculate lifetime ECL. The model combines a number of account-specific variables and forecasts of future economic conditions within the calculation of PD. Macroeconomic variable inputs to the model are reviewed quarterly and include house price index (HPI), interest rates, unemployment and GDP. The variables were selected based on statistical tests and other analysis which evidenced their correlation with credit risk.

As the Company is only required to make repayments of interest and principal to the extent that repayments are received from the mortgage administrator in respect of the mortgage loans, impairment losses on the deemed loan are not borne by the Company but by the Seller (in terms of impacting the Company's ability to pay deferred consideration and repay principal and interest on the subordinated loan provided to the Company by the Seller).

Where a loan is not recoverable, it is written off against the related provision for loan impairment once all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined.

d) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

The Company's policy is to derecognise financial assets when the contractual right to the cash flows from the financial asset expires. The Company also derecognises financial assets that it transfers to another party provided the transfer of the asset also transfers the right to receive the cash flows of the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

The Company derecognises financial liabilities only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or has expired.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash comprises cash and bank balances repayable on demand. Cash equivalents comprise highly liquid investments that are convertible into cash with an insignificant risk of changes in value, with maturities of 90 days or less on acquisition.

Taxation

The Company has elected to be taxed as a securitisation company under the Taxation of Securitisation Companies Regulations 2006 ("the permanent regime"). Under the permanent regime the Company will be taxed on an amount which broadly represents its net cashflows as determined by the transaction documents. This is different to the basis on which the accounting profit or loss is reported in these financial statements.

All differences between the Company's accounting profits or losses and taxable net cashflows are therefore treated as permanent differences and as no timing difference with future tax consequences arise, no deferred tax is required to be recognised.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies

In the process of applying accounting policies, the Company makes various judgements, estimates and assumptions which affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Estimates and judgements 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.

Significant judgements in applying accounting policies

Impairment

For IFRS 9 impairment, judgement is required to define the staging criteria, i.e. what constitutes a significant increase in credit risk (stage 2) and what circumstances give rise to a default (stage 3). Where assets meet the stage 2 or 3 criteria, lifetime ECL must be recognised.

In accordance with IFRS 9, forecasts of future macroeconomic conditions are integral to the impairment modelling processes. The selection of economic variables which are genuine drivers of credit risk and adequately capture the impact of changes in the economic outlook involves a degree of judgement.

The staging methodologies and macroeconomic scenario selection processes for each portfolio are detailed within the financial assets (impairment) accounting policy above. Model monitoring and model validation procedures are used to continually evaluate the appropriateness of the staging criteria and macroeconomic variable inputs.

Limited sensitivities have been performed for the Company, with the total ECLs equating to GBP3k, from a GBP0.2bn loan book (2021: GBP14k from a GBP0.3bn loan book).

Sources of estimation uncertainty

Impairment on loans and advances - forward-looking ECL approach

The estimation of ECLs is inherently uncertain and the IFRS 9 impairment model incorporates a number of assumptions and estimates, changes in which could materially affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The IFRS 9 requirements to incorporate forward-looking information within the ECL calculation, including forecasts of future macroeconomic conditions, necessitate judgement thereby increasing the potential for volatility in future periods.

The impairment model incorporates four macroeconomic forecasts (central, upside, downside and stress), each comprising a number of economic variables considered to be credit risk drivers. As explained, economic scenarios and weightings have been updated to reflect the changing economic conditions to which the Company is exposed.

Impairment on deemed loan - residential mortgages

The impairment on the deemed loan is equivalent to the impairment on loans and advances. This is further explained in note 1 on page 16. The scenarios have been updated with due regard to the latest market data available following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following table indicates the main economic variables included within the IFRS 9 macroeconomic scenarios at 31 March and the associated probability weightings.

Key assumptions for the residential portfolios are the probability weightings of the macroeconomic forecasts, which each incorporate a different outlook for the economic variables shown in the table above, the forecast of future house price inflation and the relative threshold used to identify a significant increase in credit risk. Any increase in provision requirements would not result in a loss to the Company but an adjustment to the carrying value of its assets/liabilities. Under the terms of the securitisation, impairment losses on the deemed loan are borne by the Seller (in relation to receipt of deferred consideration and capital and interest on the subordinated loan).

   2          Financial instruments 

A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity of another entity. The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including interest rate risk and liquidity risk.

The activities of the Company are conducted primarily by reference to a series of securitisation documents (the programme documentation). The securitisation structure has been set up as a means of raising finance for West Bromwich Building Society and no business activities will be undertaken by the Company beyond those set out in the programme documentation.

The Company's exposure to risk on its financial instruments and the management of such risk is largely set out at the inception of the securitisation transaction. The Company's activities and the role of each party to the transaction are clearly defined and documented.

Interest rate risk

The Company has a policy of maintaining floating rate liabilities and matching these with the floating rate assets to mitigate against interest rate risk.

Interest rate swaps are undertaken as part of the securitisation to hedge interest rate exposure arising from the underlying financial instruments. The derivative counterparty is selected as a highly rated, regulated financial institution to reduce the risk of default and loss for the Company.

As previously noted, the Company has been set up in such a way as to eliminate, as far as possible, any impact on the Company's cash flows from changes in market conditions. The Company is subject to a number of contractual agreements including the use of derivatives to eliminate market risk from interest rate changes.

Liquidity risk

The Company's policy to mitigate liquidity risk is through the use of a subordinated loan from West Bromwich Building Society. As the length of the funding is designed to match the length of the mortgages, there is deemed to be no further liquidity risk facing the Company.

The mortgage assets are principally funded by mortgage backed loan notes. The maturity profile of the loan notes is matched to that of the assets being funded. The loan notes are subject to mandatory redemption in part on each repayment date in accordance with the redemption of the assets.

The table below analyses the Company's financial assets and liabilities across maturity periods that reflect the residual duration from the period end date to the contractual maturity date. In the case of the deemed loan, the analysis is based on the contractual maturity of the underlying mortgage assets. The actual repayment profiles of financial assets and liabilities are likely to be significantly different to that shown in the analysis dependant on customer repayment behaviour.

  Gross contractual cash 
  flows 
 

The timing and amount of any payments to be made in respect of financial liabilities is determined by the waterfall of payments as laid out in the initial prospectus. In practical terms, the waterfall of payments only allows for (and expects) payments to be made to the extent that funds have been generated from the underlying mortgage assets. If insufficient funds have been generated to meet the full payments expected, then these amounts continue to be accrued until such time as funds are available. The current expected cash flows to be generated from the underlying mortgage loans are included in the maturity table above.

Cash and cash equivalents are held with an A+ rated bank.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises on the individual loans within the mortgage portfolio which are secured on the underlying properties. Under IFRS the portfolio is recognised as a deemed loan.

To the extent that the income on the deemed loan does not provide sufficient funds to recover the Company's investment in the mortgage portfolio, the Company has no claim on the assets of West Bromwich Building Society. The Company's maximum gross exposure to credit loss is therefore equal to the fair value of its involvement in the portfolio (subject to mitigation which may result in the elimination of any obligation to pay deferred consideration to West Bromwich Building Society).

Deemed loan

The deemed loan is a single financial instrument under IFRS 9 and is allocated within IFRS 9 stage 1.

The following analysis of credit quality relates to the underlying mortgage assets which support the valuation of the deemed loan. While the deemed loan is considered to be a stage 1 asset, the underlying assets are subject to individual impairment modelling and the disclosures below relate to this modelling.

The table below shows an analysis of the deemed loan:

Credit quality

The West Bromwich Building Society Group assess credit risk on owner occupied mortgages using behavioural scorecard and other analysis to determine probabilities of default across a number of rating grades. The IFRS 9 impairment models make use of this data, incorporating forecasts of future economic conditions and account-specific factors to produce forward-looking probabilities of default by account and allocating loans to one of three stages (as explained in note 1).

The table below analyses the underlying residential mortgages (gross exposures) by 12-month probability of default and IFRS 9 stage at the reporting date.

Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company determines fair value by the following three tier valuation hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Valuation techniques where all inputs are taken from observable market data, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3: Valuation techniques where significant inputs are not based on observable market data.

Valuation techniques include net present value and discounted cash flow models, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist and other valuation models. Assumptions and market observable inputs used in valuation techniques include risk-free and benchmark interest rates, equity index prices and expected price volatilities. The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value determination that reflects the price of the financial instrument at the reporting date that would have been determined by market participants acting at arm's length. Observable prices are those that have been seen either from counterparties or from market pricing sources including Bloomberg. The use of these depends upon the liquidity of the relevant market.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents are assumed to approximate their fair value.

a) Deemed loan

The deemed loan is net of provisions for impairment. The estimated fair value represents the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be received. Expected cash flows are discounted at current market rates to determine fair value.

b) Debt securities in issue

The aggregate fair values are calculated based on quoted market prices. For those notes where quoted market prices are not available, a discounted cash flow model is used based on a current yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity.

   14        Deferred consideration 

Deferred consideration payable to West Bromwich Building Society is dependent on the extent to which surplus income after relevant expenses and allocations are made under the transaction documents is generated by the mortgage assets, to which the Company holds the beneficial title.

Movements in deferred consideration due to West Bromwich Building Society during the period were as follows:

   2022                             2021 
   GBP'000                           GBP'000 

At beginning of period 4,368 3,997

Deferred consideration arising during the year 1,336 1,555

Deferred consideration paid (2,290) (1,182)

Movement in carrying value adjustment 11 (2)

At end of period 3,425 4,368

Under the terms of the securitisation agreements, impairment losses on the deemed loan are borne by the Seller (in relation to receipt of deferred consideration and capital and interest on the subordinated loan) and the holders of the mortgage backed floating rate notes. The carrying value of the deferred consideration has been decreased to reflect cumulative actual and expected impairment losses.

The deferred consideration remains a liability of the Company as the associated contractual obligation has not been extinguished. The deferred consideration amount is presented net against the deemed loan. The carrying value adjustment will be reviewed on a regular basis to reflect the cash flows expected to be achieved by the underlying assets and adjusted accordingly.
