A financially safe & sound proposition

Kersewell firmly believes it is offering one of the most effective and secure property investment opportunities in the UK today with investors guaranteed immediate returns of up to 10% from the instant they invest. The 485 acre leisure and activities resort has been carefully researched and developed by an experienced international team with proven track records developing similar large-scale, highly profitable concepts across the globe. The entire Kersewell proposition is financially and conceptually sound and has the backing of HVS, one of the world’s leading hotel and resort agencies. The consultancy was commissioned to assess the concept’s full potential and has confirmed the site and location are perfect to exploit the fast expanding and highly profitable short break market. The operations are based on the Center Parcs model, which operates at 90% plus occupancy and generates a 50% profit margin on sales. It’s a safe propoisiton too as investors’ capital is insurance protected with a bond covering either their deposit or 30% of the purchase price. Investors can buy with the security of purchasing UK property where all transactions are conducted by UK lawyers. There are even pre-agreed developer funding and list price discounts during the initial stages of the project. The properties, when sold as commercial real estate, are SIPP and SSAS compliant. They are an ideal vehicle to ensure better pension returns for investors looking to secure their financial futures. There are many other tax benefits available too, including possible business property and inheritance tax relief. While investors have clearly identified exit routes after years two and three of the development, for the smart investor it is a long term opportunity with strong projected capital growth. A two-decade investment could easily see a 559% return on the capital that is invested today.

Leeds and Newcastle, are less than three hours by car adding another 12 million more people to the resort’s catchment area. Tourism is essential to Scotland’s future. Total revenues of £4.2 billion makes it larger than its oil, fishing and whisky industries combined. The country hosts 16 million overnight trips per year, with 80% from the UK. Most overseas visitors are from the USA, France and Germany, who are all very familiar with the resort proposition. The Scottish tourist market is growing fast and saw a healthy 9% increase in hotel occupancy in 2009/2010. Spending in the visitor economy is expected to increase 2.9% per annum between now and 2020 with short breaks essential to the future success of tourism in Scotland. Kersewell believes the increasing demand for short stay UK vacations is driven by long-term consumer trends that are unlikely to change for the next two decades. Consumers are increasingly cost and cash conscious - and are reacting against the time, costs and security issues associated with foreign holidays and flying. Consumers are changing work and lifestyle patterns with flexible working practices encouraging a greater uptake of three or four day leisure breaks rather than a one or two week “annual foreign holiday”. Consumers of all age groups have a desire to continue to learn and educate themselves about their activities and improve their abilities and understanding. The residential activity holiday resort is a proven opportunity in England and France with competitor operators currently achieving profitable growth with annual occupancies as high as 97%.

4 : Investor Information Memorandum

Infrastructure, activities and planning The development is a 485 acre site in southern Scotland’s Clyde Valley, located between the country’s capital, Edinburgh, and its largest city, Glasgow. This provides Kersewell with the key accessibility, demographics and topography criteria necessary to successfully establish a profitable resort. The resort will offer a wide range of free and pay-asyou-play indoor and outdoor activities for children and adults of all ages and abilities. Expert tuition, lessons and courses will be integral to the resort proposition. Guests will enjoy a range of leading high street brands and the resort’s own restaurants - while food, drink, retail, housekeeping and spa services can be delivered to their accommodation. The site has outline planning permission from South Lanarkshire council for 750 resort suites, a 250 bed hotel together with indoor and outdoor activities, including a golf course, clubhouse, food, beverage, retail and lifestyle, spa and swimming facilities. Detailed planning approval is due to start in Autumn 2011 and should be granted once Kersewell has presented final designs. This assumption is based on feedback Kersewell has had from the planning authorities, advice from Scottish Development International, progress on the studies undertaken - and the plans to build resort suites to high (4 or 5) codes for sustainable homes (CSH) gradings.

Resort Suites

Denotes 50 mile catchment radius.

Code 5 sustainable homes graded suites feature super insulated panels and heat recovery systems to ensure low heating, energy and maintenance costs. They will stay in better condition than lower specification builds. Our substantial investment in sustainable energy sources ensures they will be comparatively cheaper to run as energy prices continue to soar. In a decade’s time, the difference between a self sustaining unit and one run from the national grid could effect the yield of an individual suite by as much as 3%. Golf and lochs An 18-hole golf course to match Scotland’s best designed by two times major champion Sandy Lyle (left) and golf architect Scott Macpherson enhances the resort’s landscaping and aesthetic appeal, adds to the value of your property and contributes to the atmosphere of a busy yet relaxing resort. The loch are brilliant playground in itheir own right. Both improve long term property values. Although designed by world class architects in their fields, the units have still been sold based upon a recession driven yield. Therefore you can see there is a huge margin for potential capital growth as the market improves. The Environment The resort is a car free zone - and for good reason. Kersewell’s commitment to the environment is total. Not just because it is protecting the planet but for good business reasons. The lower the heating, energy and maintenance costs the more it has to further invest in the resort. What’s more, by future proofing the resort suites now, Kersewell is enhancing the long-term value and potential for capital appreciation of your properties.

7 Investor Information Memorandum


Development income The development is a self-funding model, generating funds from individual investors. Kersewell expects a large proportion of development funding to come from selling resort suite accommodation to individual and small institutional investors. They will earn rental income from the accommodation revenue. The freehold resort suite titles are suitable for self-invested pension plans or as small self-administered schemes. The core fundraising product will be complemented by a) an investment fund, which will own a group of resort suites, b) a bond issue and c) normal property sales. The phased construction will generate the necessary revenues and cashflow to fund the later stages of development. Full details as appropriate will be made in the near future. Once operational, resort suite investors will share equally with the resort operator the accommodation revenue less the service charge. Kersewell is intending to open the resort in 2014. This will coincide with huge publicity for Scotland, which is hosting the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles. Kersewell will immediately engage satisfied visitors to drive sales to owner occupiers. Once the final resort suites and central facilities have been completed the operator will also drive occupancy rates and visitor satisfaction ratings to achieve the operational targets.

Projections on an investment of £219,000 in a 3 bedroom executive resort suite show the income you should receive. In year one Kersewell will guarantee a minimum return of 6.0% as the occupancy builds. Kersewell forecasts occupancy levels of 80% in year two, which could generate a return of 7.3%. By 2018 it is forecast that the occupancy rates will be at 90%, which could generate a return of 8.2% at this price. As an indicator of current occupancy trends, the resort’s nearest similar competitor resort in the UK reports results as high as 94% per annum across several sites.

8 : Investor Information Memorandum


Development costs Kersewell has fully costed the total construction of the resort with the assistance of its strategic development partners, including architects Holder Mathias and lead build partner Miller Construction. The first phase will include the central build, over 400 resort suites, lochs and the golf course. The second and third phases add another 300 resort suites and additional central buildings. Kersewell has added a 5% contingency to the construction costs throughout the build programme. Professional fees and marketing costs include the operational start up. Kersewell believes the total £172.3m development and marketing costs have sufficient funds to manage any unexpected build costs or shortfalls in income.

Resort operations The brand concept is primarily a short stay vacation holiday resort with high quality accommodation. Operational income will be generated from resort suite rental, high street branded and own brand food and beverage outlets, pay-asyou-play activities, spa treatments, cycle hire, lessons, courses and local membership schemes. The three key performance indicators driving the operational success are the occupancy rate, the average daily rate (what guests pay for their accommodation per night) and the resort profitability after operational costs and resort suite rents. The financial forecasts, based on stable occupancy at 90% from 2018, indicate strong profitability to ensure investor returns. The management team, consisting of leisure professionals who have launched and run high profile global resorts, will constantly seek to maximise operational results to enhance your income and grow the value of your investment.

9 Investor Information Memorandum


Exit opportunities Resort suite investors have clear exit opportunities. Investors with a freehold title can sell the “business” on the strength of the rental yield. They can sell it to similar investors to themselves, ‘lifestyle’ purchasers and corporate commercial investors. The UK leisure resort sector Kersewell is entering enjoys sustained growth and investment. Publically available information for Center Parcs’ four sites in England and Seasons Holidays shows the attractiveness of the Kersewell style of activities and leisure resort. Bluestone resort has recently been built in southern Wales as others recognise the investment opportunity and enter the market. Increasingly in the UK, guests are looking to guarantee access to the resort amenities when they want. This “lifestyle” market is often for people living within 20/30 miles of the resort but who want the resort membership and access to the golf, spa and childrens entertainment. With Edinburgh and Glasgow virtually on the resort’s doorstep, there is a massive potential market. Purchasers may want to buy a specific week in the year or even all year round access. Many resorts, such as Glenmor at Gleneagles, offer this opportunity. And Kersewell will too, by establishing this market it anticipates building the capital value and ease of access for investors. Corporate commercial investors might include the resort operator, another resort group or a leisure investment fund. As an example, Center Parcs acquired the Oasis resort in Cumbria and renamed it Whinfell Forest in 2002 when it expanded its estate. In the event of a corporate sale, this would likely to include all the real estate elements, which could result in considerable profits for investors. Once the resort is operational and established, Kersewell anticipates a considerable uptake of ‘lifestyle’ purchases

from owners not principally motivated by investment factors. These purchasers are looking at fractional or vacational options rather than a whole purchase and will either be cash buyers or funding through raising funds against their primary homes. Market research into this sector shows buying motivations include the proximity of the resort to the home, a desire to invest in prime locations and a wish to enjoy a luxury serviced second home without the costs of an outright purchase. Kersewell believes there will be substantial growth in UK fractional and vacational purchases, mirroring the success of the fractional industry in north America and the Caribbean where over 330 developments were generating total sales of $1.5b per annum at the end of the last decade. Europe is catching up with the USA, with approximately 100 fractional deeded products located across the continent. This ‘lifestyle’ demand should drive up the value of resort suites over the coming years. This is good news for SIPP and SSAS investors buying now. The combined total return or value of a fractional and vacational purchase is likely to provide a considerable price uplift for resort suites, leading to large profits when the exit coincides with the increased demand for lifestyle products. According to leading international real estate industry specialists like Northcourse and Ragatz, the aggregate prices of the units are usually valued at 150-200% of the initial single base price of a unit. For vacational units it can be as great as 300%. The quality of the build specification, location and competition all influence the range in value. The Kersewell proposition - matching high quality accommodation, food and drink, golf, numerous other activities and a commitment to education - more than satisfies all these requirements. It is expected the uplift will veer towards the top end of the spectrum.
