Chairman’s statement
The predicted fallout earlier in the year from both Brexit and the US elections failed to materialise with both the equity and property markets showing positive signs of growth, up until, the announcement by the Government to hold a General Election in June, which has added another element of uncertainty to the markets.
This hasn't been helped by the inevitable protracted exit negotiations from the
The effects of the punitive levels of stamp duty on residential property both at the top end of the market and the additional burden on the purchase of second homes, have added to the increasing disadvantages of holding buy-to-let investments with many investors switching to the commercial sector.
However, demand continues to outstrip supply in all areas making it difficult to compete at the right level and while the forthcoming election may have more of an impact on the equities and bond markets, it may well channel more buyers into property.
There has also been speculation about a modest rise in interest rates in the short term, following the expected rise in the US, which may result in a good deal of volatility and a possible increase of forced sellers to provide opportunities to invest.
While a number of opportunities have presented themselves to the Board, the huge demand witnessed in the auction rooms and the widespread shortage of stock in the private treaty market has proved challenging and prevented us from recommending further investment at this stage.
We have in the meantime, following an EGM last September, financed the development of a prime retail investment in
With this in mind, we have also reviewed the cost of our annual audit and appointed Lubbock Fine as our new Auditors and would like to thank
I would also like to thank my fellow Directors for their sterling efforts throughout the year to act in the very best interests of our Shareholders.
We will continue to monitor the market and potential opportunities and are hopeful of being able to secure something suitable during the course of the year.

SCOPE OF THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Company's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non?financial information in the Directors' Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.
OPINION ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In our opinion the financial statements:
· give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at
· 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.

for the Year Ended
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The transition to FRS 102 from old
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.
