The valuation is performed on a lease-by-lease basis due to the mixed-use
nature of the sites. This gives rise to large ranges in the inputs. 
 
As a result of the level of judgement used in arriving at the market
valuations, the amounts which may ultimately be realised in respect of any
given property may differ from the valuations shown in the statement of
financial position. For example, an increase in market rental values of 5%
would lead to an increase in the fair value of the investment properties of
E43,920,000 and a decrease in market rental values of 5% would lead to a
decrease in the fair value of the investment properties of E44,490,000.
Similarly, an increase in the discount rates of 0.25% would lead to a decrease
in the fair value of the investment properties of E17,480,000 and a decrease
in the discount rates of 0.25% would lead to an increase in the fair value of
the investment properties of E17,660,000. 
 
The highest and best use of properties do not differ from their current use.

23. Capital and other commitments 
 
As at 30 September 2017, the Group had contracted capital expenditure on
existing properties of E6,378,000 (31 March 2017: E5,951,000) and commitments
of E2,461,000 (31 March 2017: E2,732,000) derived from office rental
contracts. 
 
These commitments have not yet been provided for in the financial statements. 
 
24. Post balance sheet events 
 
On 3 November 2017, the Group notarised the acquisition of a property located
in Frickenhausen. Total acquisition costs are expected to be E11.2 million.
The property is a mixed-use business park and has a net lettable area of
28,594 sqm. The property is 49.6% occupied and let to 19 tenants, producing an
annual income of E800,839 and having a remaining weighted average lease term
of 2.9 years. 
 
On 30 October 2017, the Group agreed to a facility agreement with SEB AG for
E30.0 million. The loan terminates on 30 October 2024 and is secured over
three property assets. The loan facility comprises a E23.0 million acquisition
facility and a E7.0 million capex facility. The acquisition and capex
facilities will initially have a margin of 1.88% which steps down to 1.78% at
the point at which occupancy of the portfolio exceeds 50% and to 1.68% at the
point occupancy of the portfolio exceeds 70%. E20.0 million of the acquisition
facility has been drawn down and hedged by way of a swap at an all-in fixed
interest rate of 2.58%. There is a requirement to hedge the remaining E3.0
million of the acquisition facility upon draw down. The capex facility is
charged at a floating rate of margin over 6 month EURIBOR.  Amortisation is
calculated as 2% of the acquisition facility with the first repayment relating
to the quarter ending 31 March 2019 with the remainder due in the seventh
year.
