2022/23 financial statements and supplementary information for investors
Paragon Treasury Plc’s parent company, Paragon Asra Housing Limited (‘PA’), announces the release of its audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2023.
The financial year saw growing economic impacts, with rising inflation and interest rates, and uncertainty surrounding the housing market. Key contractors and suppliers also faced challenges, and in some cases sought to pass on higher costs. In particular, we experienced significant cost increases on our energy supply contracts arising from the conflict in Ukraine and the disruption to global energy supplies. For our residents, the cost of living crisis was a significant factor, introducing heightened risk around rent collection. We have expanded our support offering to residents as we work together through the tough economic climate.

Paragon Asra Housing Limited ('PA') In Depth Assessment outcome
PA is the parent company of Paragon Treasury Plc and a Registered Provider owning and managing over 23,000 homes in the East Midlands, London and Surrey.
PA confirms that following an In Depth Assessment (‘IDA’) conducted by the Regulator of Social Housing, PA is graded as V2 for financial viability and G1 for Governance (previously V1, G1). The financial viability regrade reflects the following factors, working in combination:
- PA’s ongoing commitment to build 6,000 new social tenure homes between 2020 and 2030
- Short-term additional expenditure on fire safety remediation, in the main relating to a small number of blocks where major remediation works have been identified. PA is working to mitigate this cost through government grant applications and liaison with the original building contractors
PA welcomes the IDA process and fully accepts the results, with feedback from the Regulator to be embedded within working practices going forward.
