items charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income, in which case
it is also dealt with in other comprehensive income.
Dividends
Dividends payable on the ordinary share capital are recognised as a liability
in the period in which they are approved.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash in hand and on-demand deposits. Cash and cash equivalents
comprises short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value and original maturities of three months or less. The cash and cash
equivalents shown in the cashflow statement are stated net of bank overdrafts.
Assets held for sale
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are
classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be
recovered primarily through sale rather through continuing use. Such assets, or
disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount
and fair value less costs of sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is
allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities
on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial
assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets, investment property which
continue to be measured in accordance with the group's other accounting
policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale and
subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and
equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated, and any equity-accounted
investment is no longer equity accounted.
SEGMENTAL REPORTING
For management reporting purposes, the group is organised into business
segments distinguishable by economic activity. The group's only business
segments are mining activities and investment properties. These business
segments are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of
other business segments and are the primary basis on which the group reports
its segment information. This is consistent with the way the group is managed
and with the format of the group's internal financial reporting. Significant
revenue from transactions with any individual customer, which makes up 10
percent or more of the total revenue of the group, is separately disclosed
within each segment.

9. (LOSS)/Profit and diluted (LOSS)/profit per share
Both the basic and diluted (loss)/profit per share calculations are based on a
loss of £259,000 (2014: profit: £1,103,000). The basic (loss)/profit per share
has been calculated on a weighted average of 10,676,839 (2014: 10,673,506)
ordinary shares being in issue during the period. The diluted (loss)/profit per
share has been calculated on the weighted average number of shares in issue of
10,676,839 (2014: 10,673,506) plus the dilutive potential ordinary shares
arising from share options of nil (2014: 110,975) totalling 10,676,839 (2014:
10,784,481).
Dilutive potential ordinary shares of 34,973 (2014: nil) were excluded from the
calculation of diluted ordinary shares as there was no dilutive effect due to
the loss for the 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:
2015
£'000
Carter Towler 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 Carrying/ Valuation Key Range
fair value technique unobservable (weighted
2015 inputs average)
£'000 2015
Freehold - external 10,150 Income Estimated rental £7 - £27 (£19)

valuation capitalisation value per sq ft
p.a
Equivalent yield 7.5% - 7.5%
(7.5%)
At 31 December 2015 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:
