a substantial family house and adjoining land) for what Management consider to be an
advantageous acquisition price of £3.55m, subject to contract and due diligence.

Armstrong / November 2020 5
FOREWORD
FROM THE MANAGEMENT TEAM
“Created in 1965 as ‘the most modern hotel in Cornwall’, by Harry Pilgrim, Meudon has enjoyed distinguished
patronage. Originally a pair of coastguard cottages (apparently with a sideline in smuggling), the house today has an
attractive, red brick and stone, castellated Victorian, façade. The name was given by Napoleonic prisoners of war,
working on the nearby farmhouse, in memory of their hometown, on the outskirts of Paris. Today the hotel sits at the
head of a valley (or vean) leading down to its private beach.
Although Harry Pilgrim acquired Meudon from Lady Worley, the sub-tropical gardens were created in the 19th
century by the Fox family. Highly successful Quaker entrepreneurs and creators of exotic gardens, the Fox family also
created both Trebah and Glendurgan gardens. They delighted in their works, and Caroline Fox, writing in the mid
1800’s, tells of ‘lounging on Bream Beach’ (Meudon) and listening to one of her party reading Tennison.
Attractive though the original house is, the half mile of valley side gardens are the crowning glory of Meudon Hotel,
together with the delightful private sandy beach, with safe bathing.
Coastal View of Bream Cove
Located a stone’s throw from historic, and busy year-round Falmouth, Meudon sits between Carrick Roads and the
Helford Estuary, a much-favoured area full of discrete luxury houses owned by, amongst others, Roger Taylor from
Queen. Enjoyment of Meudon’s charms aside, the immediate access to the South West Coastal Path opens up some
of the most beautiful and varied walks in England.
Although Meudon traded well in its earlier years, and the first (1978) Good Hotel Guide listed the hotel as ‘a stylish
Country House Hotel’, enthusiasm for the trade appears to have gradually waned. Today the hotel appears to be being
run to suit the personal needs of the family – open only a part of the year, and recently operating only as a B&B. We
have been able to secure the hotel, a large family house and some 20 acres of land for £3.55m. This very attractive
price fully reflects the current market conditions and the trading of the hotel.
This 4* hotel is waiting for professional management and an inspired ‘make-over’, to once again become one of the
best hotels in Cornwall and an international attraction. The management team have a long history of acquiring and
reviving ‘fallen hotels’ and most recently took the 5* Sheen Falls Lodge from an annual EBITDA loss, on acquisition, Bridge Deck Lounge
of -€235k to a profit, on sale, of €1.2m. Knoll House in Studland has been moved from a loss, on acquisition, of -£3k
to a profit this year of ~£450k – and with virtually no capital expenditure.
Our plan is to give Meudon an immediate ‘make-over’ and to once again a create a stylish and comfortable hotel
offering the highest standard of service plus a ‘rated’ restaurant. Cornwall enjoys a rich larder of food and Meudon
will focus on bringing a very high standard of cooking to The Bream – our restaurant, which will also help attract
discerning guests looking for the best quality experiences.
The hotel has extensive further development potential which we plan to fully unlock, once the initial improvements
have been completed. Realising this development potential will additionally enhance shareholder returns.
Meanwhile our aim is to, once again, make Meudon Hotel ‘a haven of peace and discrete luxury’ (1978 Good Hotel
Guide), qualities which discerning guests greatly value.”
Nigel Chapman, Chief Executive Officer, Kingfisher Resorts Ariel Shot of Bream Cove

KEY INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Management has negotiated an attractive purchase price for the Hotel
1 ADVANTAGEOUS
PRICE
• The total acquisition price of £3.55m is considered to be a very good buyers price and is reflective of the current trade at the Hotel.
• The price is considered to be a fair value for the real estate with little or no value attributed to the business goodwill and therefore
presents Management and the Company with genuine upside potential through trading alone.
The Meudon Hotel is in a premium private location on the south coast of Cornwall
2
• The Hotel benefits from exceptional views down to Bream Cove and includes its own private sandy beach.
ATTRACTIVE • Falmouth, a popular port, sailing centre and tourist attraction is only 3.8 miles from the Hotel.
LOCATION • Falmouth is a year round centre with an established university and port providing the Hotel with steady year round demand.
• Cornwall is one of the most attractive tourism and holiday home destinations across UK.
The management plan to return the Meudon to its former prime and establish the premises as a luxury hotel and resort
• The Meudon will aim to be one of the leading coastal hotels in south Cornwall, with a strong emphasis on sophisticated dining and
3 DEVELOPMENT
POTENTIAL
a focus on provenance.
• The space within the Bream House grounds is well suited for development of up to 24 luxury villas, subject to planning.
• The villas would be sold off plan but remain part of the Hotel’s trading inventory and on sale could generate substantial development
profits for the Company.
4
The Management have extensive experience in the development and operation of hotels and resorts in the UK
EXPERIENCED • Kingfisher’s founder, Nigel Chapman, founded the Luxury Family Hotels business which continues to be managed by Kingfisher.
MANAGEMENT • Kingfisher currently manage the Knoll House Hotel in Studland Bay, Dorset and Una St Ives Resort and Spa in St Ives, Cornwall.
The outlook for the UK domestic holiday market remains strong
5

DOMESTIC domestic holiday trips was in 2019, up +4.4% on 2018 and +2.2% on 2017(1)
MARKET • Covid-19 has increased demand for domestic holidays and staycations owing to disruption in overseas travel.
The investment is structured to provide stable income to investors combined with capital growth
COMBINATION
6
• Investors are being offered to participate equally in both Shares and Loan Notes
OF INCOME • Loan Notes carry a total interest rate of 7.0%, of which 3.5% is payable annually and 3.5% rolled up and paid on redemption of the
AND GROWTH Loan Notes.
• Investors will also receive an annual voucher equivalent to 2.0% of the Shares (at subscription) to be redeemed at the Hotel.

Armstrong / November 2020 21TAXATION CONSIDERATIONS
The key tax considerations for investors include Inheritance Tax (IHT), Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax as detailed hereunder.
Further details on Inheritance tax benefits for Business Relief qualifying vehicles are elaborated in the next page of this
document.
Shares held in the Company will be an asset in the investors’ estate and assets in excess of the ‘Nil Rate Band’ and the
INHERITANCE ‘Residence Nil Rate Band’ are exposed to Inheritance Tax (IHT). Shares qualifying for Business Relief will be exempt from IHT
TAX once held for two years or more at the date of death. Business Relief is also potentially a form of effective planning for clients
under Power of Attorney and trusts.
Interest receivable on interest from Loan Notes will be taxable as income at the investors marginal rate of tax which,
depending on the investors personal circumstances will be 20%, 40% or 45%. Any dividends paid by the Company will also
INCOME TAX be taxable at income at the investors marginal rate of tax which, depending on the investors personal circumstances will be
7.5%, 32.5% or 38.1%. The first £2,000 of dividends received each year are exempt from tax.
Stamp Duty (SD) may be payable on the redemption of shares. The current rate of SD is 0.5% on the value of the shares. UK
residents are liable to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when they sell or gift shares to a third party. This is typically charged at a rate of
SHARE 10% or 20%, depending on shareholder’s level of income. CGT liabilities only arise on the sale of shares and Capital Gains Tax
DISPOSAL is not paid on death. Though it cannot be guaranteed and is subject to your personal circumstances, some shareholders may
benefit from Investors Relief and so may be taxed at a capital gains rate of 10%.
Potential investors should note - Tax treatment depends on the individual’s circumstances at a given point in time. It should
also be noted that the law may change which could have a positive or adverse affect on an individual’s tax treatment. The
content of this section is for information purposes only and should not be relied upon. Always seek tax advice from a suitably
qualified independent financial, tax and / or legal adviser.
Armstrong / November 2020 22TAXATION (CONTINUED)
may their contents
INHERITANCE TAX
• Shares held in the Company are expected to be eligible for Business Relief (“BR”)
• Currently, taxable estates worth more than £325,000 are subject to 40% Inheritance Tax (“IHT”). This allowance can be extended via the ‘Residence
Nil Rate Band’. Options to mitigate IHT often include complex trusts and the gifting of assets (thereby losing control of capital), which may require
an individual to live up to a further seven years for full IHT relief to be obtained on the estate.
Inheritance Tax
• Business Relief was introduced in the Finance Act 1976 and amended in subsequent years. Any share in a company that undertakes an IHT trade
and is unquoted for the purposes of BR, and which has been held for two years or more at the date of death, should qualify for BR. If the whole of
the share value relates to business assets, then the share value will effectively be disregarded for inheritance tax purposes. If the shares have been
inherited from a spouse, then the spouse’s period of ownership can be added to the period held by the new investor in computing the two year
holding period.
• The two year holding period will begin on the date that the shares are purchased. The shares must have been held for two years and remain
unquoted, or quoted on AIM, on the date of death to qualify for BR.
• Under current legislation, proceeds received on exit from an IHT company can be re‐invested into shares in another IHT company to maintain the
IHT relief provided that:
• the whole of the proceeds have been used to purchase the replacement shares; and
• the original and replacement shares have been held for a total period of at least two years out of the last five years.
IHT Trade
• An IHT trade is any business that is carried on with a view to making a profit and does not consist wholly or mainly of dealing in land and buildings,
stocks and shares, or making or holding investments. BR will not be available to the extent that the IHT company has any assets that: (i) have not
been used wholly or mainly for the business in the previous two years (or since acquisition if shorter); or (ii) are not required for the future use of
the business.
may their contents
CAPITAL GAIN TAX
• Investors will be subject to different tax treatment depending on how they liquidate their investment in the Company:
• If an investor disposes of their shares to a third party then any gain on the sale of the shares (calculated as the amount received for the shares
on a disposal less the amount that the shares cost) may be subject to capital gains tax (CGT).
• The current annual allowance for CGT is £12,300 for the current tax year. Gains in excess of the annual allowance are taxed at 20% for higher
rate taxpayers and 10% for basic rate tax payers. No CGT is payable upon death.
Armstrong / November 2020 23RISK FACTORS AND WARNINGS
This section contains the material risk factors that Management and Armstrong believe to be associated with, but not limited to, an investment
in the Company. If any of the following events or circumstances arise, the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations
could be materially and adversely affected, as could the availability of IHT relief to Investors. In such case, a shareholder may lose all or part of their
investment and/or a qualifying Investor may lose all or part of their IHT relief.
• No personal recommendation is being made to you by Armstrong. If you are in any doubt about whether the investments described in this document
are suitable for you, you should seek a personal recommendation from an authorised person specialising in advising on investments of this kind
• Prior to making any investment decision, prospective investors should carefully consider whether an investment is suitable in light of their personal
circumstances, tax position and the financial resources available to them. Potential investors should therefore seek advice from a stockbroker,
accountant, fund manager or other independent financial adviser before making any decision to invest
• The Company’s forecast returns are based on a series of assumptions and judgements which are subject to uncertainties and contingencies.
Actual results could differ materially from those set out and could therefore adversely affect the outcome and financial effects of the plans and events
described herein, and could result in the partial or total loss of monies invested
GENERAL INVESTMENT RISKS
• The Company’s forecast returns are based on a series of assumptions. Whilst some of these are known with a reasonable degree of certainty, other
ASSUMPTIONS material assumptions cannot be determined with certainty in advance. The actual performance of the Company may be higher or lower than forecast.
INVESTMENT • This investment should not be viewed as a short-term investment. Investors should be prepared to invest for at least five years and understand that
TERM the Management may not be able to achieve an exit from their investment at all.
FLUCTUATIONS • The value of an investment, its real estate assets and its income associated with it are not guaranteed and can go down as well as up. Investors who
IN VALUE cannot afford a total loss of their investment should not consider subscribing for Shares in the Company.
NON-READILY • This investment will be in an unquoted trading company. Investors should be aware that there may be difficulty in realising their investment at a
REALISABLE reasonable price and, in some circumstances, it may be impossible to sell their investment at all.
INVESTMENT
QUALIFYING • While the Company will trade as a hotel and leisure business, it is possible that HMRC could re-evaluate the criteria for Business Relief. If the Company
ACTIVITY were to lose its BR status or HMRC were to assess the relief as lower than expected, investor after tax returns would be impacted accordingly.
• Investors should be aware that investment returns are dependent upon the performance of the Company, the income it generates and whether it
INVESTMENT performs in accordance with the initial business plans. Outside factors such as the economic climate, market conditions and a change in regulatory
RETURN environment may all adversely impact on the Company’s performance.
Armstrong / November 2020 24DEVELOPMENT RISK FACTORS
DEVELOPMENT RISK FACTORS
• The site does not currently have planning permission for the proposed construction of luxury villas.
PLANNING • There is a risk that the Company would not be able to secure the required planning permission or the permission obtained will result in less
PERMISSION development value than targeted.
• Under such circumstances, the investor returns would be negatively impacted.
• Under the development scenario, the Hotel will undergo a refurbishment; the cost to be funded by the Company
CAPEX • There is a risk that the cost of redevelopment will be in excess of the budgeted price and that returns will not be as forecast as a result
REQUIREMENT
• The Company will require bank financing for the redevelopment and, whilst this is expected to be obtainable, there is a risk that it may not be to the
desired levels; this could result in an increased equity requirements from investors and could negatively impact investor returns
• If the Company were to receive planning permission it may have to adhere to a strict villa construction timeline. This could affect the Hotel’s ability
CAPEX to operate over the peak months of the year (May-September) which would be likely to have a negative impact on the Company’s operating revenue
REQUIREMENT and so the investors’ returns.
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE CAPITAL STRUCTURE
• It is expected that Kingfisher Resorts St Ives Limited (“KRSI”) will invest into the Shares and Loan Notes on the same terms as other investors. KRSI
will seek to only invest if it can hold more than 50% of the issued share capital of the Company. In this situation, KRSI will control the Company. KRSI
owns and operates the UNA St Ives Resort and has the same directors as the Company. Whilst interests between KRSI and the Company should be
aligned, with operational synergies being targeted, it is possible that over time the requirement of KRSI may diverge from those of the investors and
CONTROL KRSI could appoint directors to the Company and influence the strategy of the business that may not be in the best interests of the Company’s other
shareholders.
• The Company’s articles will, as far as possible, seek to protect the interests of all shareholders in the Company and for as long as Loan Notes in the
Company remain in issue the Security Trustee will be able to ensure the interests of all investors are fairly represented.
