CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

 

 

 

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Confidence has returned to the Thames Valley property market with a marked
increase in new letting enquiries.

 

Business and Warehouse space has been particularly sought after as
distributors and suppliers change their method of product delivery to the
marketplace. For the last six months rentals in this sector have seen an
increase of up to 10%.

 

Small business units, typically with industrial warehouse use on the ground
floor and offices on the upper floor, have also attracted renewed interest.

 

Demand for retail space remains subject to the evolving change in shopping
habits and the continuing advance in internet shopping. Despite all these
difficulties, well-known high street food outlets have performed well over the
past two years.

 

As tenants return to their offices, enquiries have increased over recent
months and several new office leases have been completed. Rental levels have
remained unchanged with the lease term being between 3 and 7 years
occasionally including a tenant's break and with rental linked to increases in
the Retail Price Index.

 

The Group's policy of maintaining a close liaison with tenants has proved
successful. Where necessary a deferment of rent was agreed together with
monthly rather than quarterly payments.

 

During the year several commercial leases due to expire were renewed and as at
the time of writing this report a number of new lettings are in solicitors'
hands.

 

The Thames Valley residential sales market remains buoyant as indicated by the
Group's development of 52 luxury apartments at Woking 90% of which are now
sold achieving levels above those originally budgeted for. The residential
lettings market remains firm.

 

FINANCIALS

For the 6 months ending 31 March 2022 profit before tax amounted to £1.08m
(March 2021: £0.37m; year ended September 2021: £1.26m). This figure
includes an after-tax profit from Campmoss Property Company Limited
("Campmoss") our 47.62% joint venture of £0.66m (March 2021: £0.04m; year
ended September 2021: £0.07m). During the first half of the year the company
received a dividend of £1.0m  (March 2021: £nil; September 2021 £0.50m)
from its investment in Campmoss.

 

Revenue for the 6 months to 31 March 2022 represented by rental income,
totalled £0.35m (March 2021: £0.32m : September 2021: £0.60m). The Group's
share of revenue from Campmoss was £7.75m (March 2021: £0.29m; September
2021: £0.60m), represented by rental income of £0.28m (March 2021: £0.29m;
September 2021: £0.60m) and property sales of £7.47m (March 2021: £nil,
September 2021: £nil). Rental income and sales figures for Campmoss are not
included in Group revenue.

 

Net assets of the group as at 31 March 2022 were £29.06m (March 2021:
£28.82m; September 2021: £28.44m), equivalent to £26.30 per share (March
2021: £24.45; September 2021: £25.49). The Company's share of net assets in
Campmoss, included on the Group balance sheet, amounted to £15.55m (March
2021: £16.36m; September 2021: £15.90m).  Cash balances are held on short
term deposit and at the half year the company had nil gearing (March 2021:
£nil, September 2021: £nil).

 

The directors are of the opinion that on balance, other than as mentioned in
this report, there are no material changes in the investment value of the
Group's portfolio as at 31 March 2022.

 

The freehold investment properties held by Cardiff will be professionally
valued at 30 September 2022.

 

During the 6 months to 31 March 2022 the company purchased 10,969 ordinary
shares (March 2021:  22,750 ordinary shares;  year ended September 2021:
78,525 ordinary shares) for cancellation. There have been no material events
or material changes in assets, liabilities, or related party relationships
since 30 September 2021.

 

Current IFRS accounting recommends that deferred tax is chargeable on the
difference between the indexed cost of properties and quoted investments and
their current market value. However, current IFRS accounting does not require
the same treatment in respect of the group's unquoted investments in Campmoss
Property, the 47.62% owned joint venture, which represent a substantial part
of the company's net assets.

 

Whilst provision is made in Campmoss accounts for deferred tax, should the
shares held in Campmoss be disposed of, for indicative purposes, based on the
value in the company's balance sheet at 31 March 2022 this would result in a
tax liability of £3.89m (March 2021: £3.11m; September 2021: £3.9m)
equivalent to £3.52 per share (March 2021: £2.65; September 2021: £3.56)
calculated using a tax rate of 25% (March 2021: 19%; September 2021: 25%).
This information is provided to shareholders as an additional, non-statutory,
disclosure.

 

DIVIDEND

The directors have declared an interim dividend of 5.5p (interim March 2021:
5.0p; final September 2021: 13.5p) an increase of 10% which will be paid on 30
June 2022 to shareholders on the register at 27 May 2022.

 

THE INVESTMENT & DEVELOPMENT PORTFOLIO

The Group's freehold property portfolio, including those held by Campmoss, is
primarily located in the Thames Valley and the counties of Surrey, Berkshire
and Buckinghamshire.

 

The Windsor Business Centre, Windsor, comprises 4 business units all of which
are let on medium term leases inclusive of a development break clause. The
property recently received planning consent for a new 20,000 sq. ft. office
scheme. Agents have been retained to seek pre-lettings with the final scheme
currently under further discussion with our architects. Commencement of this
development will depend on securing suitable lettings.

 

Maidenhead Enterprise Centre, Maidenhead, comprises 6 individual business
units totalling 14,000 sq. ft. All units are let on a mixture of short and
medium term leases. One lease is due to expire at the end of the financial
year.

 

The White House, Egham, comprises 5 ground floor retail units with
air-conditioned offices on the first floor. The building is located in the
historical town of Egham, Surrey with a prominent location on the High Street.
A vacant retail unit was recently let achieving a small increase in rental and
a new lease completed for part of the upper floor offices. Agents are retained
to market the remaining space.

 

Cowbridge Road, Cardiff, comprises a commercial property on 2 floors and is
currently let on a short term lease to the Royal Mail, for use as a sorting
centre. Planning permission has been granted for a new 20 apartment
residential building with retail on the ground floor and negotiations for a
freehold sale are currently in progress.

 

Heritage Court, Egham, comprises 4 fully let retail units. The upper floor
residential units were previously sold on long leaseholds. The adjoining
freehold office is occupied by the company.

 

 

 

CAMPMOSS PROPERTY COMPANY LIMITED & SUBSIDIARIES

The Campmoss portfolio provides a range of office, retail and residential
properties in Burnham, Bracknell and Maidenhead.

 

The development of 52 luxury apartments at Britannia Wharf, Woking has
recently completed with 47 apartments sold at the half year. Gross sales
revenues are expected to be higher than originally targeted. The scheme was
undertaken through a joint venture with a local Surrey based developer.

 

Market Street, Bracknell, comprises 4 adjacent buildings which include a total
of 33 retail units and 17 individual apartments on the upper floors of two of
the buildings. The majority of retail units are let on medium term leases and
the retained apartments are all let on Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements
which are also available for sale.

 

Highway House, Maidenhead retains planning permission for a new 48,000 sq. ft.
gross Grade A office scheme. The commencement of construction will be subject
to achieving pre-lettings which have so far proved unsuccessful. An updated
office scheme is currently being prepared and separately a residential scheme
is under discussion with the local authority. The cleared site is currently
let as a car park to an adjoining office user.

 

The Priory Business Centre, Stomp Road, Burnham, comprising 9,000 sq. ft. has
recently achieved a number of new lettings. The adjacent office block of
17,000 sq. ft. is partly occupied, and agents have been appointed to market
the unoccupied space. A planning application for a care home, retaining the
existing Business Centre, was recently refused and new plans are being
prepared for further submission.

 

MANAGEMENT AND TEAM

The management of our buildings and tenants is very important to the Group's
ongoing success and I would take this opportunity of thanking our small
management team and Joint Venture partner for their hard work and continued
support.

 

RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT

The Company has entered into a written and legally binding Relationship
Agreement with myself, its controlling shareholder, to address the
requirements of LR9.2.2AR of the Listing Rules.

 

OUTLOOK

As mentioned in this report the Thames Valley property market continues to
improve although the prospect of high inflation and a squeeze on real incomes
should not be overlooked. Concerns remain as to the size of government debt
and the effect on the market and the economy of further increases in interest
rates.

 

The Group will continue to manage and develop its existing portfolio and seek
new opportunities.

 

I look forward to reporting further at the year end.

 

J Richard Wollenberg

Chairman

to the best of their knowledge and belief, that:

 

·      the condensed consolidated set of interim financial statements

IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and in accordance with the requirements
of UK adopted international accounting standards and The Companies Act 2006;

·      the interim management report includes a fair review of the
information required by:

indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months
of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of interim
financial statements and a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

 

1. Basis of preparation

This condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting in conformity with the requirements
of The Companies Act 2006. The condensed set of financial statements are
unaudited.

 

The annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with
UK-adopted international accounting standards and as applied in accordance
with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. As required by the Disclosure
and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the condensed set
of financial statements has been prepared applying the accounting policies and
presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Group's published
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2021.

 

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 30 September 2021 are not
the Group's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have
been reported on by the Group's auditor and delivered to the registrar of
companies. The report of the auditor was: unqualified; did not give any
reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of
emphasis without qualifying their report; and did not contain a statement
under sections 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

 

Accounting policies

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared
applying the accounting policies that will be applied in the preparation of
the Group's financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2022.

 

Use of estimates and judgement

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The key areas in
which estimates have been used and the assumptions applied are in valuing
investment properties and properties in the joint venture, in valuing
available for sale assets, in classifying properties and in the calculating of
provisions.

 

An external, independent valuer, having an appropriate recognised professional
qualification and recent experience in the location and category of property
being valued, values the company's property portfolio at the end of each
financial year. The directors of the joint venture value its portfolio each
year; such valuation takes into account yields on similar properties in the
area, vacant space and covenant strength. The directors of the group and joint
venture review the valuations for the interim financial statements.

 

A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present
legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required to settle the
obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by
discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate,
the risks specific to the liability.

 

Going concern

The Group has sufficient financial resources to enable it to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future, to complete the current
maintenance and development programme and meet its liabilities as they fall
due. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt
the going concern basis in preparing these interim financial statements.

results of these segments are regularly reviewed by the Board as a basis for
the allocation of resources, in conjunction with individual site investment
appraisals, and to assess their performance. Information regarding the results
