On 20 May 2014, the Group issued £82.5 million of unsecured Convertible Bonds
(refer to Note 11 for further details). In accordance with IAS 33 'Earnings
per share' the Company is required to assess and disclose the dilutive impact
of the contingently issuable shares within the Convertible Bond. The impact is
not recognised where it is anti-dilutive. The Convertible Bonds are dilutive
for basic earnings per share but not EPRA earnings per share.
The dilutive impact to basic EPS of Convertible Bonds is represented by the
accrued bond coupon which has been included in the results of each period. The
number of dilutive shares is calculated as if the contingently issuable shares
within the Convertible Bond had been in issue for the period from issuance of
the bonds to the end of each reporting period.

In their Interim Valuation Report, Lambert Smith Hampton ("LSH") commented on
the referendum decision to exit the EU. LSH referred to the period of
uncertainty post the referendum vote and that many factors may affect the
property market as a whole.
LSH point to the lower level of property occupational and investment
transactions in the wider property sector that may continue for the
foreseeable future due to the Brexit scenario. They state that "in "thin"
transactional markets, by their nature, there is less certainty to be attached
to valuation. With fewer transactions, there is less market evidence to
provide definitive price guidance at any time, and this coupled to volatility
in financial markets, creates additional risk".

At 30 June 2016, total facilities of £749.8 million (31 December 2015: £787.7
million) were available to the Group. This included a £75 million Unsecured
Retail Bond, a £70 million Secured Bond, a £82.5 million Convertible Bond and
a £5 million overdraft facility. Of these facilities, as at 30 June 2016,
£634.8 million was drawn (31 December 2015: £692.8 million).
On 10 June 2016, a £50 million revolving credit tranche of the Club facility
which would have matured in August 2017, was voluntarily cancelled by the
Group. The remaining tranche of the loan is fully drawn by the Group. Its
terms remain unchanged.
On 7 January 2016, the £100 million loan facility provided by Barclays Bank
plc was successfully extended by £15 million. The enlarged facility will be
made available for a new five-year term from January 2016. All other terms of
the facility remain unchanged.
On 16 July 2015, the £50 million revolving credit facility with HSBC Bank plc
was extended for a new five-year term. All other terms of the loan remain
unaltered.
As part of the acquisition of Crestdown Limited on 29 June 2015, the Group
acquired an existing loan with the Royal Bank of Scotland PLC in the sum of
£2.5 million. The loan was fully repaid on 22 April 2015, incurring a £24,000
early repayment fee.
Costs associated with the arrangement and extension of the facilities,
including legal advice and loan arrangement fees, are amortised over the
remaining life of the related facility.

Secured Bond
On 18 December 2013, PHP successfully listed the floating rate guaranteed
secured bonds issued on 4 November 2013 (the "Secured Bonds") on the London
Stock Exchange. The Secured Bonds have a nominal value of £70 million and
mature on or about 30 December 2025. £60 million was paid up on the issue of
the Secured Bonds with the remaining £10 million being received on 30 June
2014 following the completion of the construction of four further secured
assets. The Secured Bonds incur interest on the paid-up amount at an
annualised rate of 220 basis points above six month LIBOR, payable
semi-annually in arrears.
Retail Bond
On 23 July 2012, PHP announced that it had become the first UK REIT to issue a
Retail Bond following the issue of a £75 million, unsecured, seven-year bond,
to retail investors with an annual interest rate of 5.375% paid semi-annually
in arrears. The Retail Bond issue costs are being amortised on a straight line
basis over seven years.
Convertible Bond
On 20 May 2014, PHP Finance (Jersey) Limited (the "Issuer"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Group, issued £82.5 million of 4.25% Convertible Bonds due
2019 (the "Bonds") at par. The Company has guaranteed the due and punctual
performance by the Issuer of all of its obligations (including payments) in
respect of the Bonds.
Subject to certain conditions, the Bonds are convertible into preference
shares of the Issuer which will be automatically and mandatorily exchangeable
into fully paid Ordinary Shares of the Company (the "Shares"). The initial
conversion price has been set at 390 pence per Share (the "Exchange
Price")which has subsequently been revised to 97.5 pence following the
Company's four-for-one Share sub-division undertaken in November 2015. Under
the terms of the Bonds, the Company will have the right to settle any
conversion rights entirely in Shares, in cash or with a combination of Shares
and cash.
The bondholders have the right to convert the Bonds up until 20 May 2017 only
where the Parity Value (as defined in the Bond's terms) is greater than the
Exchange Price.
On or after 20 May 2017, the Bonds may be redeemed at par at the Company's
option subject to the Parity Value equalling or exceeding £130,000, for Bonds
with a nominal value of £100,000. If not previously converted, redeemed or
purchased and cancelled, the Bonds will be redeemed at par on the maturity
date.

The fair value of the Convertible Bond at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015
was established by obtaining quoted market prices. The fair value movement is
recognised in the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income within profit before
taxation but is excluded from the calculation of EPRA earnings and EPRA NAV.
12. Derivatives and other financial instruments
It is Group policy to maintain the proportion of floating rate interest
exposure at between 20% and 40% of total debt. The Group uses interest rate
swaps to mitigate its remaining exposure to interest-rate risk in line with
this policy. The fair value of these contracts is recorded in the balance
sheet and is determined by discounting future cash flows at the prevailing
market rates at the balance sheet date.
The table below sets out the movements in the value of the Group's interest
rate swaps during the period:

As at 30 June 2016 (35,451) (2,935) (38,386)
On 11 May 2016, PHP paid a one-off cash sum of £14.5 million to re-set the
contracted rates on two interest rate swaps. The contracts were as follows:
· for a nominal value of £50.0 million, at a rate of 4.835%, maturing on
11 August 2021; and
· for a nominal value of £38.0 million, at a rate of 4.74%, maturing on
11 August 2021.
The contracted rate on both swaps was bought down to the prevailing market
rate of 0.87% for the period of the contract between 11 November 2016 and
maturity. The swaps are no longer callable at the option of the bank. All
other terms remain unchanged.
These swap contracts are classified as ineffective swaps. As such, Mark to
Market valuation movements have been recognised in the Income Statement in the
period they arose. The payment made to re-set the rates on these contracts
crystallised part of the value held in the balance sheet at that time. Further
fair value movements resulting from the re-coupon of these swaps are
recognised in the Income Statement (see above).

Trade and other payables (11,537) (11,537) (14,424) (14,424)
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included as an
estimate of the amount at which the instruments could be transferred in a
current transaction between willing parties, other than a forced sale. The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair values:
• The fair values of the Group's cash and cash equivalents and trade
payables and receivables are not materially different from those at which they
are carried in the financial statements due to the short term nature of these
instruments.
• The fair value of floating rate borrowings is estimated by discounting
future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar
terms and remaining maturities. The fair value approximates their carrying
values, gross of unamortised transaction costs.
• The fair values of the derivative interest rate swap contracts are
estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using market interest
rates and yield curves over the remaining term of the instrument.
The Group held the following financial instruments at fair value at 30 June
2016. The Group has no financial instruments with fair values that are
determined by reference to significant unobservable inputs, i.e. those that
would be classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, nor have there
been any transfers of assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value
hierarchy. There are no non-recurring fair value measurements.
Fair value measurements at 30 June 2016 are as follows:

1 Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical financial assets and liabilities
2 Valuation is based on inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level
1) that are observable for the financial asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as unquoted prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
3 Valuation is based on inputs that are not based on observable market data
The interest rate swaps whose fair values include the use of level 2 inputs
are valued by discounting expected future cash flows using market interest
rates and yield curves over the remaining term of the instrument. The
following inputs are used in arriving at the valuation:
• interest rates;
• yield curves;
• swaption volatility;
• observable credit spreads;
• credit default swap curve; and
• observable market data.

EPRA NAV is calculated as balance sheet net assets including the valuation
result on investment properties but excluding fair value adjustments for debt
and related derivatives.
As detailed in Note 6, the Company is required to assess the dilutive impact
of the unsecured Convertible Bond on its net asset value per share, but only
report any impact if it is dilutive. With an initial conversion price of 97.5
pence (390 pence upon issue, restated to reflect the Company's four-for-one
share sub-division undertaken in November 2015), the unsecured Convertible
Bond issued by the Group on 20 May 2014 is anti-dilutive to all measures of
net asset value per share.

The special reserve has arisen on previous issues of the Company's shares. It
represents the share premium on the issue of the shares, net of expenses, from
issues effected by way of a cash box mechanism. The issue of shares on 14
April 2016, referred to in note 16, was effected by way of a cash box.
A cash box raising is a mechanism for structuring a capital raising whereby
the cash proceeds from investors are invested in a subsidiary company of the
parent instead of the parent itself. Use of a cash box mechanism has enabled
the share premium arising from the issue of shares to be deemed to be a
distributable reserve and has therefore been shown as a special reserve in
these financial statements. Any issue costs are also deducted from the special
reserve.
As the special reserve is a distributable reserve, the dividends declared in
the period have been distributed from this reserve.
18. Subsequent events
On 8 July 2016, the Group signed a conditional contract to acquire a primary
care centre in the Republic of Ireland for a consideration of E6.7 million.
Completion is scheduled for August 2016 conditional upon the completion of
certain transaction documents.
