Chairman’s statement
We have, over the past twelve months, been closely monitoring the market to look for fresh opportunities to invest and while pricing in the market was becoming over-heated, we took the decision to make use of our resources to finance
Happily, this has now been completed and let to a major restaurant group and the loan has been repaid in full with the interest greatly helping to offset the overheads of the Company.
The recent return of the loan monies has coincided with an element of caution starting to settle on the commercial and residential property sectors following the continuing dismal news from the
But with uncertainty comes opportunity, as this should now lead to more realistic pricing, which will greatly benefit those with readily available funds to act.
Our strategy will therefore be rewarded, as being now back to full financial strength, we are in a far stronger position to seek out suitable investments to invest.
We have already identified a number of situations, where we are carrying out detailed investigations and we would hope to be able to secure something suitable over the coming months.
I would like to thank our auditors, Lubbock Fine, as well as my fellow Directors for their sterling work throughout the year, acting as always, in the best interests of our many shareholders.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the
-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and
prudent;
-- ensure applicable UK accounting standards are followed subject to any
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
and
-- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the group will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's and the Group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITOR
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the Group's auditor is unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Group's auditor is aware of that information.
AUDITOR
The auditor, Lubbock Fine, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, in accordance with Section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Audit Report
For the Year Ended
To the members of
OPINION
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of
In our opinion the consolidated financial statements:
-- give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent
Company's affairs as at 31 December 2017 and of the Group's profit for
the year then ended;
-- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies
Act 2006.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (
CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (
report to you where:
-- the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements is not appropriate;
or
-- the directors have not disclosed in the consolidated financial
statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast
significant doubt about the Group's or the parent Company's ability to
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of
at least twelve months from the date when the consolidated financial
statements are authorised for issue.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit
matter
Recoverability of the loan to a related Our procedures in relation to the
party recoverability of the loan to a related
At the balance sheet date, a material party included:
amount was due from a related company in
respect of a loan made on commercial
terms.
There is a risk that the loan is not
recoverable. If this balance is not
recoverable, the net asset position of
the group would be severely impacted.
OUR APPLICATION OF MATERIALITY
The scope and focus of our audit was influenced by our assessment and application of materiality. We apply the concept of materiality both in planning and performing our audit, and in evaluating the effect of misstatements on our audit and on the consolidated financial statements.
We define financial statements materiality as the magnitude by which misstatements, including omissions, could influence the economic decisions taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements by reasonable users.
We also determine a level of performance materiality, which we use to determine the extent of testing needed to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
-- Overall materiality - We determine materiality for the consolidated
financial statements as a whole to be £32,000. This was based on the key
performance indicator, being 5% of net assets. We believe net asset
values are the most appropriate bench mark due to the minimal income
statement activity during the year and existence of key balance sheet
items.
-- Performance materiality - On the basis of our risk assessment, together
with our assessment of the company’s control environment, our judgement
is that performance materiality for the consolidated financial
statements should be 65% of materiality, amounting to £20,800.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE SCOPE OF OUR AUDIT
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we looked at where the directors made subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain.
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed sufficient work to be able to give an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account an understanding of the structure of the group and company, its activities, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which they operate. Our planned audit testing was directed accordingly and was focused on areas where we assessed there to be the highest risk of material misstatement. During the audit, we reassessed and re-valuated audit risks and tailored our approach accordingly.
The audit testing included substantive testing on significant transactions, balances and disclosures, the extent of which was based on various factors such as our overall assessment of the control environment, the effectiveness of controls and management of specific risk.
We communicated with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during the audit.
OTHER INFORMATION
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
OPINION ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-- the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors'
Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the consolidated financial statements; and
-- the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared
in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Group, or returns
adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited
by us; or
-- the Group consolidated financial statements are not in agreement with
the accounting records and returns; or
-- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not
made; or
-- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for
our audit.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement on page 7, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group and parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the Year Ended
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the
Turnover
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the Group in respect of services supplied during the year and is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings made up to
Under Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 the Company is exempt from the requirement to present its own profit and loss account.
In the parent financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less impairment.
Classification of financial instruments issued by the group
In accordance with FRS 102.22, financial instruments issued by the group are treated as equity only to the extent that they meet the following two conditions:
a. they include no contractual obligations upon the group to deliver cash or
other financial assets or to exchange financial assets or financial
liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially
unfavourable to the group; and
b. where the instrument will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity
instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to
deliver a variable number of the entity’s own equity instruments or is a
derivative that will be settled by the entity exchanging a fixed amount of
cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity
instruments.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued
for the Year Ended
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Classification of financial instruments issued by the group (continued)
To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are classified as a financial liability. Where the instrument so classified takes the legal form of the entity’s own shares, the amounts presented in these financial statements for called up share capital and share premium account exclude amounts in relation to those shares.
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are recognised initially at cost.
Subsequent to initial recognition
i. investment properties whose fair value can be measured reliably without
undue cost or effort are held at fair value. Any gains or losses arising
from changes in the fair value are recognised in profit or loss in the
period that they arise; and
ii. no depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties applying
the fair value model.
If a reliable measure is not available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, this item is thereafter accounted for as tangible fixed assets in accordance with section 17 FRS 102 until a reliable measure of fair value becomes available.
Current and deferred taxation
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided on timing differences which arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the reversal of the related difference, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. For investment property that is measured at fair value, deferred tax is provided at the rates and allowances applicable to the sale of the asset/property. Deferred tax balances are not discounted.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that is it probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued
for the Year Ended
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than three months. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Financial Instruments
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price. Other financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2. JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenue and expenses during the year. However, the nature of the estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. There are no key sources of estimation uncertainty.
