Current tax 70 (20)
Deferred tax (131) 128
Total tax in income statement (credit) / charge (61) 108
The 2016 deferred tax recognised in income of £131,000 includes a credit of
£168,000 arising on the correction of an error in the calculation of deferred
tax in 2015 related to the accounting of a deferred tax liability incorrectly
recognised in respect of management fees. The company has adjusted the effect
of this error in its 2016 financial statements by reducing the tax charge for
the year by £168,000 and reducing the associated deferred tax liability as it
is not considered to be material to the current or prior year financial
statements.
(b) Factors affecting tax charge for the year:
The corporation tax assessed for the year is different from that at the
standard rate of corporation tax in the United Kingdom of 20% (2015: 20.25%).
The differences are explained below:
Profit/(Loss) on ordinary activities before taxation 346 (147)

Proposed final dividend for 2016 3.00p 320 3.00p 320

The dividends relating to the current period are not accounted for until they
have been approved at the Annual General Meeting. The amount, in respect of
2016, will be accounted for as an appropriation of retained earnings in the
year ending 31 December 2017.
9. PROFIT/(LOSS) AND DILUTED PROFIT/(LOSS) PER SHARE
Both the basic and diluted (loss)/profit per share calculations are based on a
profit/(loss) of £479,000 (2015: loss: £259,000). The basic profit/(loss)
per share has been calculated on a weighted average of 10,676,839 (2015:
10,676,839) ordinary shares being in issue during the period. The diluted
profit/(loss) per share has been calculated on the weighted average number of
shares in issue of 10,676,839 (2015: 10,676,839) plus the dilutive potential
ordinary shares arising from share options of nil (2015: nil) totalling
10,676,839 (2015: 10,676,839).
Share options exercisable as at 31 December 2016 do not have a dilutive effect
as the average market price of ordinary shares during the period does not
exceed the exercise price of the options. Dilutive potential ordinary shares
of 34,973 were excluded from the calculation of diluted ordinary shares for
the 2015 year end as there was no dilutive effect due to the loss for the
prior year.

Long leasehold properties are those for which the unexpired term at the
balance sheet date is not less than 50 years. All investment properties are
held for use in operating leases and all properties generated rental income
during the period.
Freehold and Long Leasehold properties were externally professionally valued
at 31 December on an open market basis by:
2016 £’000 2015 £’000
Carter Towler 13,245 12,800
The valuations were carried out in accordance with the Statements of Asset
Valuation and Guidance Notes published by The Royal Institution of Chartered
Surveyors.
Each year external valuers are appointed by the Executive Directors on behalf
of the Board. The valuers are selected based upon their knowledge,
independence and reputation for valuing assets such as those held by the
group.
Valuations are performed annually and are performed consistently across all
investment properties in the group’s portfolio. At each reporting date
appropriately qualified employees of the group verify all significant inputs
and review the computational outputs. Valuers submit their report to the Board
on the outcome of each valuation round.
Valuations take into account tenure, lease terms and structural condition. The
inputs underlying the valuations include market rent or business
profitability, likely incentives offered to tenants, forecast growth rates,
yields, EBITDA, discount rates, construction costs including any specific site
costs (for example section 106), professional fees, developer’s profit
including contingencies, planning and construction timelines, lease regear
costs, planning risk and sales prices based on known market transactions for
similar properties to those being valued.
Valuations are based on what is determined to be the highest and best use.
When considering the highest and best use a valuer will consider, on a
property by property basis, its actual and potential uses which are
physically, legally and financially viable. Where the highest and best use
differs from the existing use, the valuer will consider the cost and
likelihood of achieving and implanting this change in arriving at its
valuation.
There are often restrictions on Freehold and Leasehold property which could
have a material impact on the realisation of these assets. The most
significant of these occur when planning permission or lease extension and
renegotiation of use are required or when a credit facility is in place. These
restrictions are factored in the property’s valuation by the external
valuer.
IFRS 13 sets out a valuation hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at
fair value as follows:
Level 1: valuation based on inputs on quoted market prices in active
markets
Level 2: valuation based on inputs other than quoted prices included within
level 1 that maximise the use of observable data directly or from market
prices or indirectly derived from market prices.
Level 3: where one or more inputs to valuations are not based on observable
market data
The inter-relationship between key unobservable inputs and the groups’
properties is detailed in the table below:
Class of property Level 3 Valuation technique Key Carrying/ fair value 2016 £’000 Carrying/ fair value 2015 £’000 Range (weighted average) 2016 Range (weighted average) 2015

Equivalent Yield 7.8% – 11.0% (8.9%) 8.0% – 12.6% (9.2%)

Equivalent yield 7.6% – 7.6% (7.6%) 7.5% – 7.5% (7.5%)
At 31 December 2016 13,245 12,800
There are interrelationships between all these inputs as they are determined
by market conditions. The existence of an increase in more than one input
would be to magnify the input on the valuation. The impact on the valuation
will be mitigated by the interrelationship of two inputs in opposite
directions, for example, an increase in rent may be offset by an increase in
yield.
The table below illustrates the impact of changes in key unobservable inputs
on the carrying / fair value of the group’s properties:
Estimated rental value 10% increase or decrease Equivalent yield 25 basis point contraction or expansion
