APPENDIX

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The following statement is extracted from the 2026 ARA

Making effective decisions to realise our strategic and operational aims is underpinned by our risk management processes that embrace monitoring of currently identified risks, scanning for emerging risks and then once identified assessing those risks and our response to them within our context and the challenges placed on us by the external environment. The Audit and Risk Committee maintains our risk matrix which classifies risks broadly between those for active and regular monitoring and those for reporting on by exception and reports on them to the Board (Risk Matrix). The Risk Matrix includes risks related to past risks that have materialised and have been addressed but which are currently considered to be remote for example pandemic response informed by our experience during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Risk Matrix also includes risks where the impact could be high, but probability is deemed low and it is these risks in particular that we consider when assessing longer term resilience and viability.

Using our Risk Matrix we have carried out a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the Company, including those that would threaten its business model, future performance or solvency. The following list of risks does not comprise all of the risks the Company or Group may face, and they are not presented in order of importance.

1. TRADING STOCK - REGULATED TENANCIES

RISK

Reduced opportunity to replace asset sales of vacant properties due to the reducing number of regulated tenancies available for purchase.

MITIGATION

The Group has developed clear criteria that are applied when considering asset purchases. These have been applied during the year and led to the Group turning down most of the properties coming to market in the current year. The 'Analysis of Acquisitions' is on pages 8 and 9 of the 2026 ARA.

2. MARKET

RISK

Weak macro-economic conditions triggered by external events such as geo-political matters (e.g. Brexit, Covid-19 and military and trade wars) or UK-based regulatory or legislative changes impacting on market structure and confidence.

MITIGATION

The Group's exposure is weighted towards the stronger London and South East markets and this geographical area has over the long term consistently been an above-average performer.

3. FINANCIAL

RISK

Reduced availability of financing options resulting in inability to meet business plans.

MITIGATION

The Group monitors its bank accounts and loans closely to maintain sufficient capacity. We review our loan facilities regularly. The Group is conservatively geared and operates well within financial covenants. Financial Key Performance indicators are on page 11 of the 2026 ARA. Details of the Group's current facilities are set out in Note 18 on pages 80 and 81 of the 2026 ARA.

4. DIVIDENDS

RISK

The Group seeks to provide shareholders with good returns on their investment. This aim could be put at risk if the Group was unable to sustain the level of dividends for any reason.

MITIGATION

We carefully monitor our strategy and our results in order to identify any risk to dividend levels.

The Group maintains a strong balance sheet. With appropriate banking facilities, we are able to maintain our trading stock by taking advantage of purchasing opportunities when they occur.

5. PEOPLE

RISK

Capacity to maintain strategy is compromised due to inability to attract and retain suitably experienced employees.

MITIGATION

Mountview employs a relatively small workforce which enables personal interaction at all levels.

The Company has a stringent recruitment process to ensure we employ appropriately skilled staff. We carry out regular appraisals and offer employees opportunities for training and development courses. The Company has a good record of long-term service, a great number of our employees have worked for the Group for over 12 years. Details of employees and diversity are set out in Notes 9 and 10 of the Directors' Report on pages 31 and 32 of the 2026 ARA.

6. REGULATORY

RISK

Risk of not meeting new or changed regulatory requirements and obligations that affect the Group's business activities and could lead to fines or penalties.

MITIGATION

The Group engages in close working relationships with appropriate authorities and advisers to ensure it meets its obligations.

7. OPERATIONS AND PROPERTY MAINTENANCE

RISK

Legal action against the Group for failure to meet its obligations under property management and safety legislation.

MITIGATION

In addition to its own regular inspections, the Group engages professional external companies to undertake health and safety, gas and electrical checks, fire risk assessments, etc to ensure we meet our commitments as employers and landlords. Our staff receive regular training to ensure their skills are kept up to date.

Our Compliance Officer monitors our performance against existing regulations and tracks and prepares for new requirements as they are published.

8. CLIMATE

RISK

The impact on the Group of climate related matters. For example, changing regulations or physical risks following changing weather patterns, including extreme weather events, that could lead to increased wear and tear or other property damage and transition risks, for example following regulatory changes.

MITIGATION

The regular inspections noted above provide the Group with opportunities to identify properties that may be at risk which would be considered for more frequent inspections. Due diligence for purchases aims to identify properties with higher than normal inherent risks for flooding or other water risks. We explain more fully on pages 17 to 25 of the 2026 ARA in our notes on TCFD how we approach and handle climate related risks.

EMERGING RISK

As well as monitoring the incidence of currently identified risks we also look for emerging trends in operations that could become active risks. In addition, we carry out horizon scanning through our network of stakeholders, notably our advisers, and also by reviewing published emerging risk reports. This process, while leading to minor amendments to the risk matrix did not identify additional principal risks for the Group.

Where emergent risks arise and are concluded to be relevant to Mountview's business then when considering which risks, including climate risks, to include in our framework we use the TRAP (Terminate; Reduce; Accept; Pass on) model to guide our approach.

RENTERS REFORM ACT 2025 (ACT)

This Act came into force after the end of the financial year, but does warrant discussion. In reality the nature of Mountview's portfolios with its focus on regulated tenancies already contains many provisions and expectations that exceed those within this Act - in that tenants are entitled to remain in the property for life and at below market rents. Further, the change from Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs) to Assured Periodic Tenancies (APTs) does not alter how the Group approaches these tenants in term of tenure. Nevertheless, any new law tends to generate friction that can emerge in unexpected ways. With this in mind our teams dealing with the management of our properties and the tenant relationships have been asked to be vigilant to identify any unexpected developments that we need to incorporate  into our risk matrix.

THE OVERALL RISK ENVIRONMENT

Given Mountview's business model and financial strength, while any risks materialising could well have a negative impact on short term performance, and lead to inconvenience, none are significant enough to threaten the continued existence of the Group. We are confident that we can meet our strategic and operational goals and in particular are in a strong position to take advantage of purchasing opportunities as they arise. Where the likelihood of a risk materialising becomes high and imminent, we factor accommodating the risk, into our operational plans to be activated once the impact is clear. This is the case with the Climate Transition risk related to tightening EPC requirements where our teams are monitoring progress of the legislation. Other risks are considered to be broadly unchanged from 2025 with moderate assessments for both probability of occurrence and impact.

These principal risks were part of the Group's assessment of long term viability, details of which are set out in the viability statement on pages 13 and 14 of the 2026 ARA.

integrity of the financial statements contained therein.
