Revaluation deficit and other non-deductible items 445 391
Deferred tax asset not recognised 14 731
Factors that may affect future current and total tax charges
Reductions in the UK corporation tax rate from 23% to 21% (effective from 1 April 2014) and 20% (effective from 1 April
2015) were substantively enacted on 2 July 2013. Further reductions to 19% (effective 1 April 2017) and to 18% (effective
1 April 2020) were substantively enacted on 26 October 2015. This will reduce the company's future current tax charge
accordingly and reduce the deferred tax asset at 30 September (which has been calculated based on the rate of 20%
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date) by £0.23m. From 11 May 2007, the Group elected to join the UK REIT regime.
As a result, the Group will be exempt from corporation tax on the profits and gains from its property investment business
from this date, provided it continues to meet certain conditions. Non-qualifying profits and gains of the Group (the
residual business) continue to be subject to corporation tax. The directors consider that all the rental income post-11 May
2007 originates from the Group's tax exempt business.
Due to the availability of losses no provision for corporation tax has been made in these accounts. The deferred tax asset
not recognised relating to these losses can be carried forward indefinitely. It is not anticipated that sufficient profits
from the residual business will be generated in the foreseeable future to utilise the losses carried forward as the current
year losses will be adequate to cover foreseeable profits. The non-provided deferred tax asset at 30 September 2015 was
£2.35 m (2014: £3.22m). Amounts estimated at £0.1m included in tax relief available for REIT status may become subject to
Corporation Tax under s543 CTA 2010 if relief is not granted. In this event, the Company's future tax charge is likely to
increase by up to £0.1m.

The investment properties have all been revalued to their fair value at 30 September 2015.
At the half year and year end, all properties acquired in those six months, together with a sample selected by the valuers
of 25% of the portfolio, at the half year and at the year end have been valued by Allsop LLP, a firm of independent
Chartered Surveyors. The valuations were undertaken in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
Appraisal and Valuation Standards on the basis of market value. Market value is defined as the estimated amount for which a
property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length
transaction, after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
The disposals balance at 30 September 2014 includes properties at carrying value of £78.2m that were disposed of as part of
the NOS 2 and NOS 3 transaction.
The remainder of the portfolio has been valued on the basis of market value by the directors who have an appropriate
recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued.
All rental income recognised in the Income Statement is generated by the investment properties held and all direct
operating expenses incurred resulted from investment properties that generated rental income.
A reconciliation of the portfolio valuation to the total value given in the Balance Sheet for investment properties is as
follows:
2015 2014
£000 £000
Portfolio valuation 81,196 87,564

8. Investment in Joint Venture
The Group has the following investment in a joint venture:
On 28 September 2011 an agreement was entered into with Gracechurch Commercial Investments Limited ("Gracechurch"), a newly
incorporated entity. The initial investment made was £500,000. The principal activity of the entity was to manage
properties for investment purposes. During the 2014 year the entire portfolio of Gracechurch was disposed of, and
Gracechurch went into voluntary liquidation. During the current year this liquidation was finalised.
The summarised financial information in respect of the Group's share of the jointly controlled entities is shown below.

17. Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments held by the Group are interest rate swaps used to manage the Group's interest rate
exposure. These are shown in the Balance Sheet as follows:
Movements Movements
Fair Value in Income Fair Value in Income Fair Value
2013 Statement 2014 Statement 2015
£000 £000 £000 £000 £000

Fair value (6,289) 2,267 (4,022) 1,728 (2,294)
At 30 September 2015 and 30 September 2014 these derivative financial instruments did not qualify as effective swaps for
hedge accounting under the criteria set out in IAS 39.
A summary of the swaps and their maturity dates are as follows:
Notional value of swap Effective date Maturity date Rate payable Movements
on fixed leg Fair Value in Income Fair Value
£000 % 2014 Statement 2015
20,178 16/07/2007 31/01/2017 4.85 (1,658) 571 (1,087)

(4,022) 1,728 (2,294)
The interest rate receivable on each swap is LIBOR. The notional value of the £20,178,000 swap amortises at a rate of
£200,000 per quarter. Prior to the year end it was agreed that this swap would be terminated on 30th October 2015, and
accordingly has been treated as a current liability.
The derivative financial instruments included in the above tables are stated at their fair value based on quotations from
the Group's bank.
More details of the Group's policy regarding the management of interest rate risk are given in note 18.
18. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management
framework.
As described in the Corporate Governance report, this responsibility has been assigned to the executive directors with
support and feedback from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the
Group's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to
the risks faced by the Group.
The Group has identified exposure to the following financial risks from its use of financial instruments: capital
management risk, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Capital Management Risk
The Group's capital consists of long-term borrowings, cash and equity attributable to the shareholders. The Board's policy
is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain the future
development of the business. The Board regularly reviews the Group's capital structure, cost of capital, gearing levels and
other specific measures. From time to time, the Company purchases its own shares when the Board considers that this course
of action would enhance the value of the Group for shareholders. The Group has had a policy of paying 100% of recurring
profits as a dividend each year. Following the restructuring in July 2013 dividend policy will be reviewed half-yearly by
the Board. No dividend has been paid during the year. There were no other changes in the Group's approach to capital
management during the year.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market conditions, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity
prices, will affect the Group's profit or loss and cash flows. The Group's exposure to market risks is restricted to
interest rate risk only. The Group borrows at floating rates of interest and uses financial instruments to fix the floating
rates of interest in accordance with its policy.
The Group and its jointly controlled entities do not speculate in financial instruments. They are only used to limit their
exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Group's policy is to hedge between 60% and 100% of its interest rate exposure.
At 30 September 2015, 95% (2014: 83%) of the Group's debt was fixed or protected, as shown below.

55,988 53,178 2,810 65,125 53,979 11,146
The variable rate loan is protected by interest rate swaps which are carried at fair value. These have been identified as
Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 is defined as inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (as derived from prices).
Sensitivity Analysis
IFRS 7 requires an illustration of the impact on the Group's financial performance of changes in interest rates. The
following sensitivity analysis has been prepared in accordance with the Group's existing accounting policies and considers
the impact on the Income Statement and on equity of an increase of 100 basis points (1%) in interest rates. As interest
rates were below 1% in the current and previous year, it has not been possible to consider the impact of a decrease of 100
basis points on interest income and expense as it would result in a negative rate of interest. Therefore, the impact of a
fall in interest rates has been restricted to 0%. It has been possible to consider the impact of a 1% change in rates on
the fair value of derivatives as the contracted rates are greater than 1%. All other variables remain the same and any
consequential tax impact is excluded. The analysis assumes that changes in market interest rates affect the interest income
and interest expense of derivative financial instruments. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments
have been estimated by discounting future cash flows at appropriate market rates prevailing at each year end.
Actual results in the future may differ materially from these assumptions and as such, these tables should not be
considered as a projection of likely future gains and losses.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a tenant, bank or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group's receivables from tenants, cash and cash
equivalents held by the Group's banks and derivative financial instruments entered into with the Group's banks.
Trade and Other Receivables
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each tenant. The Group has
over 1,000 tenants in over 300 properties. There is no significant concentration of credit risk due to the large number of
small balances owed by a wide range of tenants who operate across all retail sectors. Geographically there is no
concentration of credit risk in any one area of the UK. An analysis of the business by region, user type and tenant grade
is given on pages 2-3. The level of arrears is monitored monthly by the Group and more frequently on a tenant by tenant
basis by the asset managers.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Derivative Financial Instruments
Two major UK banks provide the majority of the banking services used by the Group. Financial derivatives are only entered
into with these core banks
The Group's financial assets which are exposed to credit risk are classified as follows and are shown with their fair
value:

Trade receivables that are not impaired are expected to be recovered.
Other receivables at 30 September 2015 and 30 September 2014 were not past due.
The movement in the trade receivables' impairment allowance during the year was as follows:
2015 2014
£000 £000
Balance at beginning of year 189 264
Impairment loss recognised 134 617
Trade receivables written off (23) (692)
Balance at end of year 300 189
The impairment loss recognised relates to the movement in the Group's assessment of the recoverability of outstanding trade
receivables.
The movement in the trade receivables impairment allowance in relation to NOS 2 and NOS 3 (disposed of during the preceding
year) is a net write off of £178k.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's
approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have adequate resources to meet
its liabilities when they fall due for both the operational needs of the business and to meet planned future investments.
This position is formally reviewed on a quarterly basis or more frequently should events require it.
The Group's financial liabilities are classified and are shown with their fair value as follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements
C1. Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in
relation to the Company's financial statements.
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable UK Accounting Standards and under the historical
cost accounting rules.
Cash Flow Statement
Under FRS 1, the Company is exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement on the grounds that the Company is
included in its own published consolidated financial statements.
Related Party Transactions
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS 8 - Related Party Transactions and has not disclosed transactions
or balances with entities which form part of the Group as these consolidated financial statements include the results of
these entities.
Financial Instruments
The Company has adopted the requirements of FRS 29 - Financial Instruments Disclosures and has taken the exemption under
that standard from disclosure on the grounds that the Group financial statements contain disclosures in compliance with
IFRS 7.
Investments
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at historic cost less provisions for impairment.
Tangible Fixed Assets
Following the termination of the Company's office lease in 2013, all tangible assets were written off in that year.
Taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the result for the period and takes into account taxation deferred because of timing
differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax is recognised,
without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and
accounting purposes, which have arisen, but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except as otherwise required by FRS
19.
Pensions
The Company operates a defined contribution pension plan. Contributions payable by the Company in respect of defined
contribution pension plans are charged to administrative expenses as incurred.
Share-Based Payments
There were no material share-based payment arrangements during the period.
Employee Benefit Trust
The Company operates an Employee Benefit Trust in order to hedge its obligations under the CSOP and LTIP schemes. The
Company either purchases its own shares directly or it funds the trust to acquire shares in the Company. Transactions of
the Employee Benefit Trust are treated as being those of the Company and are reflected in the Company's financial
statements.
Ordinary Share Capital
External costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
Shares which have been repurchased are classified as treasury shares and shown in retained earnings. They are recognised at
the trade date for the amount of consideration paid, together with directly attributable costs. This is presented as a
deduction from total equity. Shares held by the Employee Benefit Trust are treated as being those of the Company.
Profit for the Financial Year
The Company has taken advantage of Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not included its own profit and loss
account in these financial statements. The Company's profit for the year was £71,000 (2014: loss (£3,016,000))
