Rental income under operating leases recognised in the profit or loss amounted
to £1,778,000 (2015: £1,663,000). 
 
Typically, the properties were let for a term of between 5 and 15 years at a
market rent with rent reviews every 5 years. The above maturity analysis
reflects future minimum lease payments receivable to the next break clause in
the operating lease. The properties are leased on terms where the tenant has
the responsibility for repairs and running costs for each individual unit with
a service charge payable to cover common services provided by the landlord on
certain properties.

In December 2013, the bank loan was re-financed providing a credit facility of
up to £10 million. Interest was charged at 2.65% per annum over LIBOR for the
refinanced facility. 
 
The loan is repayable in one instalment on 18 December 2018. The bank loan
includes the following financial covenants: 
 
•  Rental income shall not be less than 2.25 times the interest costs 
 
•  The bank loan shall at no time exceed 50% of the market value of the
properties secured. 
 
15.    BANK LOANS PAYABLE (Continued) 
 
The borrowing facility is secured by fixed charges over the freehold land and
buildings owned by the Company, which at the year end had a combined value of
£25,230,000 (2015: £21,780,000). The undrawn element of the borrowing facility
available at 25th March 2016 was £nil (2015: £2.3million). A commitment fee of
1% per annum was payable on the undrawn amount. 
 
16.    DEFERRED TAX

Properties Plc from Channel Hotels and Properties Ltd at a price of £3.50 per

issue, are held in Treasury. 
 
18.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
 
The objective of the Company's policies is to manage the Company's financial
risk, secure cost effective funding for the Company's operations and minimise
the adverse effects of fluctuations in the financial markets on the value of
the Company's financial assets and liabilities, on reported profitability and
on the cash flows of the Company. 
 
At 25th March 2016 the Company's financial instruments comprised borrowings,
cash and cash equivalents, short term receivables and short term payables. The
main purpose of these financial instruments was to raise finance for the
Company's operations. Throughout the period under review, the Company has not
traded in any other financial instruments. The Board reviews and agrees
policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below: 
 
Credit Risk 
 
The risk of financial loss due to a counterparty's failure to honour its
obligations arises principally in connection with property leases and the
investment of surplus cash. 
 
Tenant rent payments are monitored regularly and appropriate action is taken
to recover monies owed or, if necessary, to terminate the lease. Funds are
invested and loan transactions contracted only with banks and financial
institutions with a high credit rating. 
 
The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk associated with
trading counterparties (considered to be over 5% of net assets) with exposure
spread over a large number of tenancies. 
 
Concentration of credit risk exists to the extent that at 25th March 2016 and
2015, current account and short term deposits were held with two financial
institutions, Svenska Handelsbanken AB and C Hoare & Co. Maximum exposure to
credit risk on cash and cash equivalents at 25th March 2016 was £1,383,000
(2015: £1,050,000). 
 
Currency Risk 
 
As all of the Company's assets and liabilities are denominated in Pounds
Sterling, there is no exposure to currency risk. 
 
Interest Rate Risk 
 
The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk as it currently borrows
at floating interest rates. The Company monitors and manages its interest rate
exposure on a periodic basis but does not take out financial instruments to
mitigate the risk. The Company finances its operations through a combination
of retained profits and bank borrowings. 
 
18.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 
 
Interest Rate Sensitivity 
 
Financial instruments affected by interest rate risk include loan borrowings
and cash deposits. The analysis below shows the sensitivity of the statement
of comprehensive income and equity to a 0.5% change in interest rates: 
 
                                                                                0.5% decrease in interest rates  0.5% increase in interest rates

Capital Management 
 
The primary objectives of the Company's capital management are: 
 
•     to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so
that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders: and 
 
•     to enable the Company to respond quickly to changes in market conditions
and to take advantage of opportunities. 
 
Capital comprises Shareholders' equity plus net borrowings. The Company
monitors capital using loan to value and gearing ratios. The former is
calculated by reference to total net debt as a percentage of the year end
valuation of the investment property portfolio. Gearing ratio is the
percentage of net borrowings divided by Shareholders' equity. Net borrowings
comprise total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. 
 
The Company's policy is that the loan to value ratio should not exceed 50% and
the gearing ratio should not exceed 100%.
