Dear Sirs/Madams,
PROPOSED ISSUE BY HARVEST FUNDING PLC OF RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE-BACKED NOTES (the “Issue”)
We have performed the procedures enumerated below on certain residential mortgages (the “Loan Pool”), which were agreed to by the Issuer, the Seller, the Joint Lead Managers, the Joint Arrangers, the Managers and the other Managers (as defined in the Engagement Letter). The procedures were performed to assist you in evaluating the validity of certain characteristics of the Loan Pool. This agreed upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The appropriateness of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the Issuer, the Seller, the Joint Lead Managers, the Joint Arrangers and the Managers. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the appropriateness of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
This report (the “Asset Agreed Upon Procedures Report”) is addressed to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, the Board of Directors of the Seller, the Joint Lead Managers, the Joint Arrangers and the Managers identified in the Engagement Letter who have agreed to participate in the proposed Issue.

© 2026 Deloitte LLP. All rights reserved.

These procedures were established with the Issuer and the Seller, and the appropriateness of the procedures is solely the responsibility of the Issuer, the Seller, the Joint Lead Managers, the Joint Arrangers and the Managers as discussed above. The Issuer and the Seller shall be solely responsible for providing accurate and complete information requested by Deloitte necessary to perform the procedures. Deloitte has no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by or on behalf of the Issuer and the Seller, even if Deloitte had reason to know or should have known of such inaccuracy or incompleteness.
The procedures that we performed and our findings are as follows:
1. Scope of our work and factual findings
The procedures performed were as defined in Appendix 3 of the Engagement Letter (the “Agreed Upon Procedures”).
The Seller provided us with a data file ‘Project Kronos sub account list 311225.xlsx’ (the “First Pool Run”) containing an account number for each of the 43,144 loans and further advances in the Loan Pool as at 31 December 2025 (the “Cut-off Date”).
A random sample of 457 loans and further advances (the “Sample”) was selected from the First Pool Run using the sampling approach below.
The Seller then provided the data file ‘Deloitte Sample - Project Kronos 311225 - MB UPDATED.xlsx’ (the “Sample Pool”) containing information for each loan in the Sample as at the Cut-off Date.
We have carried out the Agreed Upon Procedures on the Sample Pool during the period 19 to 26 January 2026.
The sampling approach
Sampling confidence is the probability that the actual errors, within a total population, are contained within the range of an estimate. Precision is the range of that estimate. The precision limit is the estimated maximum predicted number of errors within the total population. Sampling confidence and precision are stated in percentages.
Attribute sampling is a method of assessing the rate of occurrences of a specified attribute in a population and requires agreed upon procedures in relation to certain characteristics of a random sample of individual loans. In this case the Agreed Upon Procedures related to the documentation and procedures that support the Sample Pool contained in the First Pool Run.
Our method of calculating attribute sample sizes is based on the binomial probability distribution.
Statistical tests can only provide estimates of the error.
The procedures we have undertaken, set out in paragraphs 2.1 to 2.22 below, have been limited to confirming that the selected attribute from the Sample Pool information relating to the First Pool Run agreed to the original loan documentation or copies thereof provided to us in the loan file. We are entitled to assume that the loan documentation is correct and we have not sought to independently verify this information. The loan documentation used in these Agreed Upon Procedures was the Offer, product change documentation, valuation report, Mortgage Archive Retrieval System (“MARS”), Borrower’s origination printout (“AHD”), Information Lifecycle Management System (“ILM”), Mortgage Deed held on the land registry website, Land Registry Charge data file ‘Lloyds Kronos Jan 2026 Ownership Spreadheet Results.xls’ and Land Registry prints (together, the “Land Registry Charge”), Certificate of Title (“CoT”) and the primary system of record (the “UFSS System”).
Objectives
On the assumption that the information in the First Pool Run is a complete and accurate representation of the Loan Pool, the sample sizes chosen were designed with the objective of us being able to state that there is a 99% confidence that not more than 1% of the population of the First Pool Run contained an error in the relevant attribute. Where errors were found in the Sample Pool, we have re-calculated the percentage errors that there might be in the First Pool Run and noted the revised percentage below. It is for you to ensure you understand this basis of reporting and to determine whether the errors are acceptable to you and for the purposes of the Issue.

2. Statistical Agreed Upon Procedures
For each loan in the Sample Pool, we carried out the following Agreed Upon Procedures and have given a confidence and precision percentage
for each procedure.
For the purposes of this report, the failure of a single attribute is termed an error. We report our findings, which are the factual results of the agreed-upon procedures performed:
| 2.1 | Borrower’s Name(s) |
In cases where the surname of one borrower changed to the surname of a joint borrower, we were informed by the Seller that such changes are as a result of changes in the marital status of the borrowers. For the avoidance of doubt, we did not check that any change in the surname of the borrower was due to a change in their marital status, as no evidence of changes to the marital status was available in the mortgage file.
| 2.1.1 | For each loan in the Sample Pool, we confirmed whether the borrower’s name(s) shown in the Sample Pool substantially agreed with that/those shown on the Offer, MARS, ILM or AHD. Substantially agreed is defined as being able to identify the name where minor spelling errors or reversals of initials had occurred. We found that the borrower’s name(s) substantially agreed to the Offer, MARS, ILM or AHD, with no exception. |
As a result of the procedure performed there is a 99% confidence that not more than 1% of the First Pool Run contained errors.
| 2.1.2 | For each loan in the Sample Pool that was flagged with a registered title number, we confirmed whether the borrower’s name(s) shown on the Sample Pool substantially agreed to the Mortgage Deed, Land Registry Charge or CoT. Substantially agreed is defined as being able to identify the name where minor spelling errors or reversals of initials had occurred. We found that the borrower’s name(s) agreed to the Mortgage Deed, Land Registry Charge or CoT, except for 3 cases. |
| DT Reference | Description of exception | |
| DT017 | 2 borrowers on Sample Pool; 3 borrowers listed on Land Registry Charge | |
| DT047 | Mortgage Deed, Land Registry Charge and CoT unavailable | |
| DT064 | Mortgage Deed, Land Registry Charge and CoT unavailable |
As a result of the procedure performed there is a 99% confidence that not more than 3% of the First Pool Run contained errors.
| 2.2 | Property Address |
We were instructed by the Seller that this procedure should not include agreeing the postcode if other segments of the Property address were sufficient to substantially agree the property address. Additionally, for new build properties, we were instructed by the Seller to assume that differences between the property address in the Sample Pool and the loan documentation should not be considered to be errors if the property address was not substantially different as it can be expected that the property address can change as a mortgage progresses from application to completion. For the avoidance of doubt, if the postcode was missing, incomplete or incorrect, but the other segments of the property address substantially agreed then we did not treat this as an error. For the avoidance of doubt if the property address and the Sample Pool were not substantially different then we did not treat this as an error.
| 2.2.1 | For each loan in the Sample Pool, we confirmed whether the property address shown in the Sample Pool substantially agreed with that on the Offer, MARS, ILM or AHD. Substantially agreed is defined as being able to identify the address where minor spelling errors had occurred. We found that the property address substantially agreed to the Offer, MARS, ILM or AHD, except for 4 cases. |

As a result of the procedure performed there is a 99% confidence that not more than 3% of the First Pool Run contained errors.
| 2.2.2 | For each loan in the Sample Pool that was flagged with a registered title number, we confirmed whether the property address shown on the Sample Pool substantially agreed to the Mortgage Deed, Land Registry Charge or CoT. Substantially agreed is defined as being able to identify the address where minor spelling errors have occurred. We found that the property address agreed to the Mortgage Deed, Land Registry Charge or CoT, except for 13 cases. |
