Services B.V. The average number of people employedby the Group during the

full-time equivalents. In addition, the Board of Directors consists of four
Non-executive Directors and two Executive Directors as at 30 September 2016.
7. Employee schemes
Equity settled share based payments
A new LTIP for the benefit of the Executive Directors and the Senior
Management Team was approved in October 2015. The fair value determined at the
grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting and holding
period, based on the Company's estimate of the shares that will eventually
vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. Under
the LTIP, the awards are granted in the form of whole shares at no cost to the
participants. Shares vest after the three year performance period followed by
a holding period. The performance conditions used to determine the vesting of
the award are based on net asset value and total shareholder return allowing
vesting of zero per cent to a maximum of 125 per cent. As a result, a maximum
of 25,150,000 shares were granted, subject to performance criteria,under the
scheme in December 2015 and an expense of E1,452,000 was recognised in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income to 31 March 2016.
A total of 1,300,000 shares were forfeited in the six month period to 30
September 2016. An expense of E2,152,000 was recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income to 30 September 2016.
Movements in the number of shares outstanding and their weighted average
exercise prices are as follows:
(Unaudited)six months ended Year ended
30 September 2016 31 March 2016
Number ofshares Weightedaverageexerciseprice E000 Number ofshares Weightedaverageexerciseprice E000
Balance outstanding as at the beginning of the period (nil exercisable) 25,150,000 - - -

Exercised during the period - - - -
Balance outstanding as at the end of the period (nil exercisable) 23,850,000 - 25,150,000 -
The fair value per share was determined using the Monte-Carlo model, with the
following assumptions used in the calculation as at grant date:
31 March 2016
Weighted average share price - E 0.52
Weighted average exercise price - E -
Expected volatility - % 20
Expected life - years 2.48
Risk-free rate based on European treasury bonds' rate of return - % (0.11)
Expected dividend yield - % 3.41
Assumptions considered in the model include: expected volatility of the
Company's share price, as determined by calculating the historical volatility
of the Company's share price over the historic period immediately prior to the
date of grant and commensurate with the expectedlife of the awards; dividend
yield based on the actual dividend yield as a percentage of share price at the
date of grant; expected life of the awards; risk-free rates; and correlation
between comparators.
Employee benefit scheme
The original LTIP for the benefit of the Executive Directors and the Senior
Management Team expired at the end of March 2015. As a result, a total of
3,471,200 Ordinary Shares were issued during the financial year to 31 March
2016.
During the period 313,608 shares were issued to the Company's management
through its MSP and Ordinary Shares taken in lieu of bonus (31 March 2016:
134,918 shares).
A reconciliation of share-based payments and employee benefit schemes and
their impact on the consolidated statement of changes in equity is as
follows:
(Unaudited)six months ended30 September 2016E000 (Unaudited)six months ended30 September 2015E000 Year ended31 March 2016E000

are available for offset against future profits of its subsidiaries in
whichthe losses arose under the restrictions of the minimum taxation. Deferred
tax assets have not been recognised in respect of the revaluation losses on
investment properties and interest rateswaps as they may not be used to offset
taxable profits elsewhere in the Group as realisation is not assured. Deferred
tax assets have been recognised in respect of the valuation of the Company
LTIP.

12. Investment properties
Most of the Group's properties are pledged as security for loans obtained by
the Group. See note 18 for details.
A reconciliation of the valuation carried out by the external valuer to the
carrying values shown in the statement of financial position is as follows:
(Unaudited)30 September 2016E000 (Unaudited)30 September 2015E000 31 March 2016E000
Investment properties at market value 779,590 615,240 695,190

Reclassified as investment properties held for sale (5,870) - -
Balance as at period end 764,990 610,120 687,453
The fair value (market value) of the Group's investment properties at 30
September 2016 has been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out at
that date by Cushman & Wakefield LLP (2015: Cushman & Wakefield LLP), an
independent valuer. The adjustment in respect of lease incentives excludes
those relating to assets that have been written down.
The valuation is based upon assumptions including future rental income,
anticipated maintenance costs and an appropriate discount rate. The properties
are valued on the basis of a ten year discounted cash flow model supported by
comparable evidence. The discounted cash flow calculation is a valuation of
rental income considering non-recoverable costs and applying a discount rate
for the current income risk over a ten year period. After ten years a
determining residual value (exit scenario) is calculated. A capitalisation
rate is applied to the more uncertain future income, discounted to a present
value.
The Directors also perform a review of the valuation and they have decided to
reduce the value of 3 of the 42 properties from the Cushman & Wakefield LLP
valuation.
The weighted average lease expiry remaining across the whole portfolio at 30
September 2016 was 2.6 years.
The movement on the valuation of the investment properties at market value as
set out in the valuer's report is as follows:
