TheΒ yearΒ underΒ reviewΒ sawΒ theΒ GroupΒ turnoverΒ atΒ Β£2,285,800Β (2020:Β Β£1,970,106),Β withΒ aΒ lossΒ afterΒ taxΒ of
Β£329,194 (2020:Β LossΒ Β£1,022,898), afterΒ takingΒ intoΒ account exceptionalΒ itemsΒ asΒ detailedΒ inΒ noteΒ 19Β toΒ the accounts.
Β
Management haveΒ performedΒ aΒ review ofΒ theΒ assetsΒ andΒ liabilities ofΒ theΒ underlying subsidiaries whichΒ form the valueΒ ofΒ theΒ anticipated profitsΒ onΒ ongoing developments. Β

Due toΒ theΒ uncertaintiesΒ andΒ timingΒ these planning appeals, Β itΒ hasΒ beenΒ agreedΒ by managementΒ notΒ toΒ includeΒ anyΒ future anticipated profits Β of Β developmentsΒ in Β their Β assessment. Β
Β
TheΒ cashΒ onΒ theΒ balanceΒ sheetΒ atΒ theΒ endΒ ofΒ theΒ yearΒ wasΒ Β£246,193Β (2020:Β Β£27,969)Β andΒ theΒ GroupΒ continues to have sufficientΒ bankΒ facilitiesΒ forΒ allΒ plannedΒ activities.
Β
InΒ JulyΒ 2020Β weΒ completedΒ aΒ shareΒ issueΒ raisingΒ Β£750,000 ofΒ cash,Β beforeΒ expenses,Β whichΒ providedΒ additional cashΒ reservesΒ forΒ our plannedΒ activities.
Β
BusinessΒ EnvironmentΒ andΒ Outlook
Β
On 24th November, 2020 Gary Thorneycroft was appointed as a Director of the Group which strengthens the Board with his particular expertise within the accountancy profession. This retainsΒ aΒ goodΒ balanceΒ ofΒ complementary skillsΒ onΒ theΒ Board.Β WeΒ areΒ currentlyΒ progressingΒ offersΒ ofΒ financeΒ alongsideΒ ourΒ planningΒ applicationsΒ soΒ that we shouldΒ beΒ wellΒ placedΒ toΒ commenceΒ ourΒ developmentsΒ as soonΒ asΒ planningΒ permits.

STRATEGICΒ REPORT
Β forΒ theΒ yearΒ endedΒ 31Β MarchΒ 2021Β
Β
BusinessΒ review,Β resultsΒ andΒ dividends
Β
AllΒ tradingΒ andΒ propertyΒ assetsΒ ofΒ TrafalgarΒ PropertyΒ GroupΒ PlcΒ (Group)Β areΒ heldΒ inΒ theΒ name ofΒ theΒ Group orΒ its subsidiariesΒ asΒ follows:
Β
TrafalgarΒ NewΒ HomesΒ LimitedΒ (TNH) TrafalgarΒ Retirement+Β LimitedΒ (TR+)
SelmatΒ LimitedΒ (Selmat)Β
Combe BankΒ HomesΒ (Oakhurst)Β LimitedΒ (Oakhurst)Β CombeΒ Homes (BoroughΒ Green)Β LimitedΒ (BoroughΒ Green)
AllΒ bankΒ borrowingsΒ wereΒ theΒ liabilityΒ ofΒ TNH,Β theΒ wholly ownedΒ subsidiary ofΒ theΒ Group, however during the year the bank borrowings were cleared. Mortgages of Β£924,373Β existΒ onΒ theΒ fourΒ properties heldΒ byΒ Selmat.Β TheΒ sharesΒ ofΒ theΒ GroupΒ areΒ quotedΒ onΒ theΒ London StockΒ ExchangeΒ AIM market.
Β
The principal activity of the Group continues to be that of home building and property development and the consolidated results of the year's trading, are shown below.  The consolidated loss for the year was £329,194  (2020: Loss £ 1,022,898) after taking into account exceptional items as mentioned in note 19 to the accounts.
Β
PrincipalΒ risksΒ &Β uncertainties
Β
SetΒ outΒ belowΒ areΒ certainΒ riskΒ factorsΒ whichΒ couldΒ haveΒ anΒ impactΒ onΒ theΒ Group'sΒ long-termΒ performance. Β The factorsΒ discussedΒ belowΒ shouldΒ notΒ beΒ regardedΒ asΒ aΒ completeΒ andΒ comprehensiveΒ statementΒ ofΒ allΒ potential risksΒ andΒ uncertaintiesΒ facingΒ theΒ Group.
Β
TheΒ principalΒ risksΒ andΒ uncertaintiesΒ facingΒ theΒ GroupΒ are:
Β
Β
1. Β DirectΒ costsΒ mayΒ escalateΒ andΒ eatΒ intoΒ grossΒ profitΒ margins.
Β
2. HeavyΒ overheadsΒ mayΒ beΒ incurredΒ especiallyΒ whenΒ projectsΒ haveΒ beenΒ completedΒ andΒ beforeΒ others haveΒ beenΒ commenced.
Β
3. Β TheΒ GroupΒ could commitΒ tooΒ muchΒ to future capital projects.Β
Β
4. Β TheΒ Group'sΒ relianceΒ on keyΒ membersΒ ofΒ staff.
Β
5. Β TheΒ marketΒ mayΒ deteriorate,Β damagingΒ liquidityΒ ofΒ theΒ GroupΒ and futureΒ revenues. TheΒ GroupΒ considersΒ thatΒ itΒ mitigatesΒ theseΒ risks withΒ theΒ followingΒ policiesΒ andΒ actions:
1. TheΒ GroupΒ affordsΒ itsΒ bankersΒ andΒ otherΒ lendersΒ aΒ strongΒ level ofΒ assetΒ andΒ incomeΒ coverΒ andΒ maintains good relationshipsΒ withΒ aΒ rangeΒ ofΒ fundingΒ sourcesΒ fromΒ whichΒ itΒ isΒ able toΒ secure finance onΒ favourable terms.
Β
2. DirectΒ costsΒ areΒ outsourcedΒ onΒ aΒ fixedΒ priceΒ contractΒ basis,Β therebyΒ passingΒ onΒ toΒ theΒ contractor allΒ riskΒ ofΒ costΒ overspend,Β includingΒ fromΒ increased material,Β labourΒ orΒ otherΒ costs.
Β
3. MostΒ otherΒ professionalΒ servicesΒ areΒ alsoΒ outsourced,Β thusΒ providingΒ aΒ knownΒ fixedΒ costΒ beforeΒ any projectΒ isΒ takenΒ forwardΒ andΒ avoidingΒ theΒ riskΒ thatΒ canΒ ariseΒ inΒ employingΒ in-houseΒ professionals atΒ a highΒ unproductiveΒ overheadΒ atΒ times whenΒ activityΒ isΒ slack.
Β
4. BuyingΒ decisions for capital projectsΒ areΒ takenΒ atΒ BoardΒ level,Β afterΒ carefulΒ researchΒ byΒ theΒ Directors personally, who have substantial experience in various business sectors and markets.
Β
Β
Β
Β
TheΒ Group has focusedΒ onΒ aΒ nicheΒ marketΒ sectorΒ ofΒ newΒ homeΒ developmentsΒ inΒ theΒ rangeΒ ofΒ fourΒ toΒ twenty units. Β WithinΒ thisΒ unitΒ size,Β competition toΒ purchaseΒ development sitesΒ fromΒ landΒ buyersΒ isΒ relatively weak,Β asΒ thisΒ sizeΒ isΒ unattractiveΒ toΒ majorΒ nationalΒ andΒ regionalΒ houseΒ buildersΒ whoΒ requireΒ aΒ larger scale Β to Β justify Β their Β administrationΒ and Β overheads, whilst Β being Β too Β many units Β for Β the Β smaller independentΒ builderΒ toΒ financeΒ orΒ undertake asΒ aΒ project. Β Many competitors who also Β focus on this niche have yet to recapitalise and are unable to raise finance.
Β
5. ManyΒ ofΒ theΒ activitiesΒ areΒ outsourcedΒ andΒ eachΒ ofΒ theΒ DirectorsΒ isΒ fullyΒ awareΒ ofΒ theΒ activitiesΒ ofΒ all members.
Β
6. TheΒ GroupΒ hasΒ aΒ corporate governanceΒ policyΒ appropriateΒ forΒ a small Β publiclyΒ listedΒ companyΒ with ambitionsΒ substantiallyΒ toΒ raiseΒ itsΒ profile withinΒ theΒ widerΒ investorΒ community.
Β
Operations review Β A summary of the results for the year is as follows:- | Β | |
Β | 2021 | 2020 |
Β Β Β | Β£ | Β Β£ Β |
Revenue for the year | 2,285,800 | 1,970,106 |
Gross profit | 322,006 | 154,068 |
Loss after taxation | (329,194) | (1,022,898) |
Β
GroupΒ turnoverΒ forΒ theΒ yearΒ amountedΒ toΒ Β£2,285,800Β (2019:Β Β£1,970,106),Β representingΒ theΒ saleΒ ofΒ six units at Sheerness plus two land options purchased and soldΒ (2020: two residential properties plus car park space).
Β
AfterΒ takingΒ intoΒ accountΒ theΒ overheads ofΒ theΒ Group,Β thereΒ wasΒ aΒ lossΒ recordedΒ forΒ theΒ yearΒ ofΒ (Β£329,194) after exceptionalΒ itemsΒ asΒ detailedΒ in noteΒ 19.
Β
ThereΒ willΒ be noΒ taxΒ chargeΒ andΒ the CompanyΒ nowΒ hasΒ taxΒ lossesΒ beingΒ carriedΒ forwardΒ ofΒ Β£ 4,645,489 (2020: lossesΒ Β£4,381,991).
Β
TheΒ lossΒ perΒ shareΒ duringΒ theΒ year wasΒ (0.34p),Β (2020:Β lossΒ perΒ shareΒ 0.21p).
Β
As canΒ beΒ seenΒ fromΒ theΒ aboveΒ , theΒ GroupΒ failedΒ toΒ achieveΒ aΒ profit forΒ theΒ yearΒ underΒ reviewΒ and during the year allΒ remaining residentialΒ unitsΒ haveΒ beenΒ soldΒ beingΒ the remaining six unitsΒ atΒ the SheernessΒ Site. There are currently two site options in Send & Leatherhead upon which planning was not granted and for which now appeals have been lodged Β withΒ furtherΒ optionΒ opportunitiesΒ beingΒ explored.
Β
Directors'Β dutiesΒ underΒ S172
Β
TheΒ DirectorsΒ believeΒ that,Β individually andΒ together,Β theyΒ haveΒ actedΒ inΒ theΒ wayΒ theyΒ consider,Β inΒ goodΒ faith, wouldΒ beΒ mostΒ likelyΒ toΒ promoteΒ theΒ successΒ ofΒ theΒ GroupΒ forΒ theΒ benefitΒ ofΒ itsΒ membersΒ asΒ aΒ whole,Β having regardΒ toΒ theΒ stakeholders andΒ mattersΒ setΒ outΒ inΒ s172(1)(a-f) ofΒ theΒ CompaniesΒ ActΒ 2006Β inΒ theΒ decisionsΒ taken duringΒ theΒ yearΒ endedΒ 31Β MarchΒ 2021.
Β
Β
Β
OurΒ BoardΒ ofΒ DirectorsΒ remainΒ awareΒ ofΒ theirΒ responsibilities bothΒ withinΒ andΒ outsideΒ ofΒ theΒ Group.Β WithinΒ the limitationsΒ ofΒ a GroupΒ withΒ soΒ fewΒ employeesΒ weΒ endeavourΒ toΒ followΒ theseΒ principles:
Β
ο· Purpose,Β vision andΒ strategy:Β thisΒ isΒ setΒ outΒ onΒ pages 5-7Β onΒ thisΒ StrategicΒ ReportΒ andΒ weΒ recognise ourΒ roleΒ inΒ identifyingΒ opportunitiesΒ toΒ developΒ homesΒ andΒ apartmentsΒ toΒ theΒ bestΒ qualityΒ standards.
ο· GroupΒ policies:Β theseΒ areΒ reviewedΒ annuallyΒ andΒ staffΒ andΒ DirectorsΒ areΒ encouragedΒ toΒ improveΒ their skillsetΒ asΒ appropriate.
ο· CultureΒ andΒ people:Β weΒ fullyΒ supportΒ aΒ cultureΒ whereΒ allΒ customers,Β staffΒ andΒ suppliersΒ areΒ treatedΒ in anΒ openΒ andΒ honestΒ fashion,Β irrespectiveΒ ofΒ race,Β gender,Β ethnic,Β disabilitiesΒ orΒ otherΒ scenarios.
ο· BoardΒ structure:Β theΒ roleΒ ofΒ theΒ BoardΒ isΒ reviewedΒ annuallyΒ withΒ aΒ clearΒ focusΒ onΒ theΒ specificΒ roles assignedΒ toΒ eachΒ individualΒ toΒ enableΒ theΒ BoardΒ toΒ properlyΒ supportΒ eachΒ memberΒ ofΒ staff.
ο· FreedomΒ withinΒ aΒ framework:Β weΒ areΒ developingΒ aΒ newΒ frameworkΒ forΒ communicatingΒ thisΒ freedom inΒ a straight-forwardΒ methodology.
ο· RiskΒ andΒ internalΒ controlΒ framework:Β risksΒ andΒ controlsΒ areΒ subjectΒ toΒ discussionΒ atΒ quarterly Board meetings.Β EveryΒ projectΒ undertaken byΒ theΒ GroupΒ isΒ analysedΒ withΒ aΒ viewΒ toΒ limitingΒ theΒ risksΒ toΒ the GroupΒ andΒ itsΒ StakeholdersΒ beforeΒ proceedingΒ withΒ implementation.
Β
KeyΒ performanceΒ indicatorsΒ (KPIs)
Β
ManagementΒ areΒ closelyΒ involvedΒ inΒ the dayΒ to dayΒ operationsΒ ofΒ theΒ GroupΒ andΒ constantly monitorΒ cashflowsΒ and expenditure. However,Β ManagementΒ believeΒ theΒ keyΒ indicatorsΒ ofΒ performanceΒ forΒ theΒ GroupΒ areΒ the revenueΒ andΒ profitabilityΒ achievedΒ duringΒ theΒ period. TheseΒ measuresΒ areΒ disclosedΒ aboveΒ inΒ theΒ operations review.
Β
DevelopmentΒ PipelineΒ &Β outlook
Β
TheΒ yearΒ under review wasΒ notΒ withoutΒ itsΒ difficulties.Β In theΒ residentialΒ divisionΒ delaysΒ occurredΒ onΒ theΒ building programmeΒ forΒ theΒ variousΒ propertiesΒ thatΒ wereΒ stillΒ inΒ theΒ courseΒ ofΒ construction, orΒ beingΒ finishedΒ off,Β with contractorsΒ appointedΒ toΒ completeΒ theΒ worksΒ butΒ unableΒ toΒ followΒ theΒ timetableΒ laidΒ downΒ forΒ completionΒ of thoseΒ works. The delaysΒ leadΒ toΒ escalatingΒ interestΒ costsΒ onΒ borrowingΒ andΒ thereforeΒ affectedΒ the profitabilityΒ ofΒ theΒ completed unitsΒ that wereΒ for sale,Β onΒ the disposalΒ ofΒ the same. During the year all remaining 6 units at the Sheerness site sold.
Β
CurrentlyΒ theΒ GroupΒ holdsΒ four rented properties within its subsidiary. These propertiesΒ valuedΒ atΒ Β£1,975,000Β as investmentΒ properties have generated rental income and are let on Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements, generating rental income substantially in excess of the borrowing cost of each property.
Β
WhilstΒ TR+Β continueΒ toΒ identifyΒ andΒ secureΒ newΒ landΒ opportunities forΒ extra/careΒ andΒ assistedΒ living,Β theyΒ are equally focusedΒ onΒ obtaining aΒ successful outcome onΒ sitesΒ currentlyΒ underΒ optionΒ and/orΒ inΒ forΒ planning. OnceΒ planning hasΒ been achievedΒ theΒ sitesΒ can beΒ builtΒ outΒ andΒ placedΒ forΒ saleΒ onΒ theΒ openΒ market, orΒ inΒ the caseΒ ofΒ theΒ smallerΒ residential schemes,Β soldΒ onΒ withΒ planning,Β bothΒ optionsΒ beingΒ profitableΒ toΒ theΒ business. OptionsΒ haveΒ beenΒ securedΒ forΒ residentialΒ development inΒ Ashtead, & Epsom and subsequently sold for profit during the year. Going forward options still remain onΒ LeatherheadΒ andΒ SendΒ but planning has not been forthcoming and this is now lodged for appeal.Β ItΒ isΒ ourΒ intentionΒ toΒ developΒ theΒ LeatherheadΒ andΒ SendΒ sitesΒ onceΒ the favourable outcome of the appeal is known.

StatementΒ ofΒ directors'Β responsibilities
Β
Company lawΒ requiresΒ theΒ DirectorsΒ toΒ prepareΒ financialΒ statementsΒ forΒ eachΒ financialΒ year. Β UnderΒ thatΒ lawΒ the DirectorsΒ haveΒ elected to prepareΒ theΒ consolidatedΒ financialΒ statementsΒ inΒ accordanceΒ with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRS in conformity with the requirements of Companies Act 2006 and theΒ CompanyΒ financialΒ statementsΒ inΒ accordanceΒ withΒ FRSΒ 102Β andΒ applicableΒ law. UnderΒ companyΒ lawΒ the DirectorsΒ must notΒ approveΒ theΒ financialΒ statementsΒ unlessΒ theyΒ areΒ satisfiedΒ that theyΒ giveΒ aΒ true andΒ fair viewΒ of theΒ stateΒ ofΒ affairsΒ ofΒ theΒ GroupΒ andΒ ofΒ theΒ profitΒ orΒ lossΒ ofΒ theΒ GroupΒ forΒ thatΒ year. Β InΒ preparingΒ theseΒ financial statements,Β theΒ DirectorsΒ areΒ requiredΒ to:Β
Β
Β
ο· Β selectΒ suitableΒ accountingΒ policiesΒ andΒ thenΒ applyΒ themΒ consistently;
ο· Β makeΒ judgementsΒ andΒ estimatesΒ thatΒ areΒ reasonableΒ andΒ prudent;
ο· stateΒ whetherΒ applicableΒ AccountingΒ StandardsΒ haveΒ beenΒ followed,Β subjectΒ toΒ anyΒ materialΒ departures disclosedΒ andΒ explainedΒ inΒ theΒ financialΒ statements;
ο· Β prepareΒ theΒ financialΒ statementsΒ onΒ theΒ goingΒ concernΒ basis unlessΒ itΒ isΒ inappropriateΒ toΒ presumeΒ that the
GroupΒ willΒ continueΒ inΒ business.
Β
TheΒ DirectorsΒ areΒ responsibleΒ for keepingΒ adequateΒ accountingΒ recordsΒ thatΒ areΒ sufficientΒ to showΒ andΒ explainΒ the Group'sΒ transactions andΒ discloseΒ withΒ reasonableΒ accuracyΒ atΒ anyΒ timeΒ theΒ financialΒ positionΒ ofΒ theΒ GroupΒ and enableΒ themΒ toΒ ensureΒ thatΒ theΒ financialΒ statementsΒ complyΒ withΒ theΒ CompaniesΒ ActΒ 2006. TheyΒ areΒ also responsibleΒ forΒ safeguardingΒ theΒ assetsΒ ofΒ theΒ companyΒ andΒ henceΒ forΒ takingΒ reasonableΒ stepsΒ forΒ theΒ prevention andΒ detectionΒ ofΒ fraudΒ andΒ otherΒ irregularities.
Β
TheyΒ areΒ furtherΒ responsibleΒ forΒ ensuring thatΒ theΒ StrategicΒ ReportΒ andΒ theΒ ReportΒ ofΒ theΒ Directors andΒ other information includedΒ inΒ theΒ AnnualΒ ReportΒ andΒ FinancialΒ StatementsΒ isΒ preparedΒ inΒ accordanceΒ withΒ applicable lawΒ inΒ theΒ UnitedΒ Kingdom.
Β
TheΒ maintenanceΒ andΒ integrityΒ ofΒ theΒ GroupΒ websiteΒ isΒ theΒ responsibilityΒ ofΒ theΒ Directors;Β theΒ workΒ carriedΒ outΒ by the auditorsΒ doesΒ not involveΒ the considerationΒ ofΒ these Β mattersΒ and,Β accordingly,Β the auditorsΒ acceptΒ no responsibility orΒ anyΒ changesΒ thatΒ mayΒ haveΒ occurredΒ inΒ theΒ accountsΒ sinceΒ theyΒ wereΒ initiallyΒ presentedΒ onΒ the website.
Β
Legislation inΒ theΒ UnitedΒ KingdomΒ governingΒ theΒ preparationΒ andΒ dissemination ofΒ theΒ accountsΒ andΒ theΒ other informationΒ includedΒ inΒ annualΒ reportsΒ mayΒ differΒ fromΒ legislationΒ inΒ otherΒ jurisdictions.
Β
CorporateΒ GovernanceΒ Statement
Β
TheΒ BoardΒ ofΒ theΒ GroupΒ recogniseΒ theΒ valueΒ ofΒ goodΒ corporateΒ governanceΒ andΒ implemented corporateΒ governanceΒ procedures during the previous year and continued to use these during the financial year to 31 March 2021. These procedures are appropriateΒ forΒ theΒ presentΒ sizeΒ ofΒ theΒ entityΒ having givenΒ dueΒ regardΒ toΒ theΒ CorporateΒ Governance CodeΒ forΒ SmallΒ andΒ Mid-SizeΒ QuotedΒ Companies issuedΒ byΒ the QuotedΒ Companies AllianceΒ ("QCA"). Β The CompanyΒ hasΒ decided toΒ applyΒ theΒ QCAΒ CorporateΒ GovernanceΒ CodeΒ ("QCAΒ Code")Β issuedΒ byΒ theΒ QCAΒ inΒ MayΒ 2018Β andΒ has publishedΒ onΒ itsΒ websiteΒ detailsΒ ofΒ theΒ QCAΒ Code,Β howΒ theΒ Company hasΒ compliedΒ withΒ theΒ QCAΒ CodeΒ and, whereΒ itΒ departsΒ fromΒ theΒ QCAΒ Code,Β anΒ explanationΒ ofΒ theΒ reasonsΒ forΒ doingΒ so. The Board has considered the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting requirements and conclude that the Group has not consumed more than 40,000 kWh of energy and therefore qualifies as a low energy user and is exempt from reporting under these regulations.
Β
BoardΒ Structure
Β
TheΒ BoardΒ consists ofΒ four Β Directors (2020: three) ofΒ whichΒ three areΒ executiveΒ andΒ oneΒ non-executive,Β allΒ ofΒ whomΒ holdΒ shares inΒ theΒ Group.
Β
TheΒ BoardΒ meets asΒ andΒ whenΒ required andΒ isΒ satisfiedΒ thatΒ itΒ isΒ providedΒ withΒ information inΒ anΒ appropriate formΒ andΒ qualityΒ toΒ enableΒ itΒ toΒ dischargeΒ itsΒ duties. Β AllΒ DirectorsΒ areΒ requiredΒ toΒ retireΒ byΒ rotation withΒ one quarterΒ ofΒ theΒ BoardΒ seekingΒ re-electionΒ eachΒ year.
Β
DueΒ toΒ theΒ currentΒ sizeΒ ofΒ theΒ Group,Β the dutiesΒ thatΒ wouldΒ normallyΒ beΒ attributedΒ toΒ TheΒ NominationΒ Committee, haveΒ beenΒ undertakenΒ byΒ theΒ BoardΒ asΒ a whole.
Β
TheΒ BoardΒ hasΒ undertakenΒ aΒ formalΒ assessmentΒ ofΒ theΒ auditor's independenceΒ andΒ willΒ continueΒ toΒ doΒ soΒ atΒ least annually.Β ThisΒ assessmentΒ includes:
ΒΒ
Β
Β
ο· Β a reviewΒ ofΒ non-auditΒ servicesΒ providedΒ toΒ theΒ companyΒ andΒ theΒ relatedΒ fees;
Β
ο· aΒ reviewΒ ofΒ the auditor'sΒ own proceduresΒ forΒ ensuringΒ theΒ independenceΒ ofΒ the audit firmΒ and parties andΒ staffΒ involvedΒ inΒ theΒ audit,Β includingΒ regularΒ rotationΒ ofΒ theΒ auditΒ partner;Β and
Β
ο· Β obtainingΒ confirmationΒ fromΒ theΒ auditorΒ that,Β inΒ theirΒ professionalΒ judgement,Β theyΒ areΒ independent.
Β
InternalΒ Controls
Β
TheΒ BoardΒ isΒ responsibleΒ forΒ theΒ Group'sΒ systemΒ ofΒ internalΒ controlsΒ andΒ forΒ reviewing theirΒ effectiveness. Β The internalΒ controlsΒ areΒ designedΒ toΒ ensureΒ theΒ reliability ofΒ financialΒ information forΒ bothΒ internalΒ andΒ external purposes. Β TheΒ Directors areΒ satisfiedΒ thatΒ theΒ currentΒ controlsΒ areΒ effectiveΒ withΒ regardΒ toΒ theΒ sizeΒ ofΒ theΒ Group. Any internalΒ controlΒ system can onlyΒ provide reasonable,Β butΒ notΒ absoluteΒ assuranceΒ againstΒ materialΒ mis- statementΒ orΒ loss. Β GivenΒ theΒ sizeΒ ofΒ theΒ Group,Β theΒ BoardΒ hasΒ assessedΒ thatΒ thereΒ isΒ currently noΒ needΒ forΒ an internalΒ audit function.
Β
FinancialΒ Instruments
Β
TheΒ Group'sΒ principalΒ financialΒ instruments compriseΒ cashΒ atΒ bank,Β bankΒ loans,Β otherΒ loansΒ andΒ variousΒ items withinΒ currentΒ assetsΒ andΒ currentΒ liabilitiesΒ that ariseΒ directly fromΒ its operations.Β The DirectorsΒ considerΒ thatΒ the keyΒ financialΒ riskΒ isΒ liquidity. Β ThisΒ riskΒ isΒ explainedΒ inΒ theΒ sectionΒ headedΒ 'PrincipalΒ risksΒ andΒ uncertainties' in theΒ AnnualΒ ReportΒ andΒ AccountsΒ on pageΒ 5.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TRAFALGAR PROPERTY GROUP PLC
forΒ theΒ yearΒ endedΒ 31Β MarchΒ 2021
Β
Β
Β
For the purpose of this report, the terms "we" and "our" denote MHA MacIntyre Hudson in relation to UK legal, professional and regulatory responsibilities and reporting obligations to the members of Trafalgar Property Group plc. For the purposes of the table on pages 14 to 15 that sets out the key audit matters and how our audit addressed the key audit matters, the terms "we" and "our" refer to MHA MacIntyre Hudson. The Group financial statements, as defined below, consolidate the accounts of Trafalgar Property Group plc and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). The "Parent Company" is defined as Trafalgar Property Group plc. The relevant legislation governing the Parent Company is the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006 ("Companies Act 2006").
Β
Our opinion
Β
We have audited the financial statements of Trafalgar Property Group plc for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Β
The financial statements that we have audited comprise:
Β· Group Income Statement and Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Β· Group and Company Statements of Financial Position
Β· Group and Company Statements of Changes In Equity
Β· Group Statements of Cash Flows
Β· Notes 1 to 21 of the consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies & notes 1 to 14 of the parent company financial statements, including the accounting policies.
Β
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
In our opinion, the financial statements:
Β
Β· give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent Company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and the Group's loss for the year then ended.
Β· have been properly prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards and international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and
Β· have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Β
Our opinion is consistent with our reporting to the Directors.
Β
Basis for opinion
Β
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with those requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Β
Material uncertainty related to going concernΒ
We draw your attention to the going concern section of the accounting policies in the financial statements which states that the Group incurred substantial losses during the year and the continued requirements for successful future equity or debt fund raising. The impact of this together with other matters set out in the note, indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
ΒΒ
Β
Β
Β
Our evaluation of the Directors' assessment of the Group and Parent Company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:
Β· The consideration of inherent risks to the Company's operations and specifically its business model.
Β· The evaluation of how those risks might impact on the Company's available financial resources.
Β· Where additional resources may be required the reasonableness and practicality of the assumptions made by the Directors when assessing the probability and likelihood of those resources becoming available.
Β· Liquidity considerations including examination of cash flow projections.
Β· Solvency considerations including examination of budgets and forecasts and their basis of preparation, including review and assessment of the model's mechanical accuracy and the reasonableness of assumptions included within.
Β· Consideration of availability of funds required to settle funding facilities due for repayment during the going concern review period. Assessing the reasonableness and practicality of the mitigation measures identified by management in their conservative case scenario and considered by them in arriving at their conclusions about the existence of any uncertainties in respect of going concern.
Β
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Β
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included those matters 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 and, as required for public interest entities, our results from those procedures. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Β
Β
Undisclosed Related Party Transactions | |
Key audit matter description | The Group enters into a significant number of transactions with related parties, both intra-group transactions and with individuals related to the Group. There is a risk that transactions (particularly any transactions which are not at arm's length) and balances with related parties are undisclosed. Β |
How the scope of our audit responded to the key audit matter | Our procedures included an assessment of the presentation of related party transactions in the financial statements, this focused primarily on the Directors loan accounts. Β We reviewed movements on these balances in the year and vouched items to supporting evidence. Β We discussed with management the nature and purpose of these items and considered whether disclosure sufficiently addressed these matters. Β In addition, we obtained written confirmations of the balances from all disclosed parties and confirmed key terms to agreements. Β |
Key observations Β | We concluded that the classification and disclosure of related party transactions is complete and appropriate. Β |

Our application of materiality
Our definition of materiality considers the value of error or omission on the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, would change or influence the economic decision of a reasonably knowledgeable user of those financial statements. Misstatements below these levels will not necessarily be evaluated as immaterial as we also take account of the nature of identified misstatements, and the particular circumstances of their occurrence, when evaluating their effect on the financial statements as a whole. Materiality is used in planning the scope of our work, executing that work and evaluating the results.
Β
Materiality in respect of the Group was set at Β£58,500 (2020: Β£68,000) which was determined based on 2% of gross assets in both years. Gross assets were deemed to be the most appropriate metric for materiality as this is primarily what the users of the financial statements are concerned with. |
Β
Performance materiality is the application of materiality at the individual account or balance level, set at an amount to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality for the financial statements as a whole.
Β
Performance materiality for the Group was set at Β£35,100 (2019: Β£40,800) which represents 60% (2020: 60%) of the above materiality levels. Β |
The determination of performance materiality reflects our assessment of the risk of undetected errors existing, the nature of the systems and controls and the level of misstatements arising in previous audits.
Β
Materiality in respect of the parent was set at Β£22,000 (2020: Β£7,000) which was determinedΒ based on 2% of gross assets. Performance materiality for the parent company was set at Β£13,200Β (2020: Β£4,200) which represents 60% (2020: 60%) of the above materiality levels.
Β
We agreed to report any corrected or uncorrected adjustments exceeding Β£2,925 to the directors as well as differences below this threshold that in our view warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. Β |
Β
The scope of our audit
Our Group audit was scoped by obtaining an understanding of the Group and its environment, including the Group's system of internal control, and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including assessing whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that may have represented a risk of material misstatement.
Β
The Group consists of 6 reporting components all of which were considered to be significant components of the Group, Trafalgar Property Group Plc, Trafalgar New Homes Limited, Trafalgar Retirement + Limited, Combe Bank Hones (Oakhurst) Limited, Combe Homes (Borough Green) Ltd and Selmat Limited. The significant components were subjected to full scope audits for the purposes of our audit report on the Group financial statements.
Β
Reporting on other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial
statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the 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. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
Β
We have nothing to report in this regard.
ΒΒ
Β
Β
Β
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
Β
Β· the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
Β· the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Β
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 strategic report or the directors' report.
Β
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:
Β
Β· adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received by branches not visited by us; or
Β· the financial statements of the Parent Company are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
Β· certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
Β· we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Β
Responsibilities of directors As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Β
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's and the 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.
Β
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's 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 (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.Β
Β
The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Β· Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Group operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act 2006, AIM regulations and applicable tax legislation. In addition, we considered compliance with the UK Bribery Act and employee legislation, as fundamental to the Group's operations.
Β· Enquiry of management to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Β· Enquiry of management around actual and potential litigation and claims.
Β· Enquiry of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims.
Β· Enquiry of management to identify any instances of known or suspected instances of fraud.
Β· Discussing among the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
Β· Reading key correspondence with regulatory authorities such as the Financial Reporting Council.
Β· Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; and
Β· Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates, in particular with respect to the valuations of investments and bonds.
A further description of our responsibilities for the financial statements is located on the FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities . This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

GOINGΒ CONCERN
Β
TheΒ DirectorsΒ haveΒ reviewedΒ forecasts andΒ budgetsΒ forΒ theΒ comingΒ year,Β whichΒ haveΒ beenΒ drawnΒ upΒ with appropriate regardΒ forΒ theΒ currentΒ economicΒ environmentΒ andΒ theΒ particularΒ circumstances inΒ whichΒ theΒ Group operates.Β TheseΒ wereΒ preparedΒ withΒ referenceΒ toΒ historicalΒ andΒ currentΒ industry knowledge,Β takingΒ intoΒ account futureΒ strategyΒ ofΒ theΒ Group.
Β
TheΒ GroupΒ continuesΒ toΒ utiliseΒ bankingΒ sourcesΒ forΒ theΒ financingΒ ofΒ itsΒ developments, togetherΒ withΒ loansΒ from thirdΒ partyΒ investors,Β toΒ ensureΒ thatΒ thereΒ isΒ sufficientΒ moneyΒ availableΒ forΒ theΒ GroupΒ to undertakeΒ andΒ completeΒ its variousΒ developments.
Β
TheΒ GroupΒ doesΒ notΒ operateΒ anΒ overdraftΒ facilityΒ butΒ borrowΒ onΒ aΒ siteΒ specificΒ basisΒ fromΒ variousΒ bankers,Β withΒ a mixΒ ofΒ loansΒ fromΒ outsideΒ investorsΒ gearedΒ toΒ someΒ ofΒ theΒ development propertiesΒ andΒ otherwiseΒ loanedΒ onΒ a generalΒ basisΒ toΒ theΒ Group.
Β
TheΒ BoardΒ isΒ comfortableΒ withΒ theΒ structureΒ ofΒ itsΒ bankΒ finance, whichΒ usuallyΒ involvesΒ theΒ bank lendingΒ aΒ modest sumΒ towardsΒ theΒ landΒ purchaseΒ forΒ theΒ modestΒ sizedΒ residentialΒ development schemes,Β withΒ theΒ GroupΒ puttingΒ up the restΒ ofΒ theΒ fundsΒ required toΒ acquireΒ theΒ site andΒ theΒ costsΒ associatedΒ withΒ theΒ acquisitionΒ andΒ thenΒ forΒ theΒ bank toΒ provide 100%Β ofΒ theΒ buildΒ finance. Β
Β
Investor loans thatΒ areΒ notΒ relatedΒ toΒ specificΒ sitesΒ areΒ long termΒ loans withΒ repaymentΒ datesΒ extendingΒ beyond the yearΒ endΒ andΒ have,Β inΒ theΒ past,Β beenΒ renewed whenΒ theyΒ comeΒ upΒ forΒ repayment.
Β
TheΒ existingΒ operationsΒ haveΒ beenΒ generatingΒ fundsΒ toΒ meetΒ short-term operatingΒ cashΒ requirementsΒ and management areΒ confidentΒ thatΒ theΒ expectedΒ salesΒ willΒ allowΒ theΒ GroupΒ toΒ meetΒ loanΒ repayments dueΒ withinΒ the nextΒ twelve monthsΒ orΒ thatΒ theΒ loansΒ willΒ beΒ refinanced.
Β
AsΒ aΒ resultΒ ofΒ theseΒ considerations,Β atΒ theΒ timeΒ ofΒ approvingΒ theΒ financialΒ statements,Β theΒ DirectorsΒ considerΒ that theΒ Company andΒ theΒ GroupΒ haveΒ sufficientΒ resourcesΒ toΒ continueΒ inΒ operationalΒ existenceΒ forΒ theΒ foreseeable future.
Β
HoweverΒ givenΒ thatΒ aΒ degreeΒ ofΒ uncertaintyΒ existsΒ inΒ theΒ timingΒ of futureΒ sales,Β andΒ management'sΒ abilityΒ to refinanceΒ allΒ loansΒ dueΒ inΒ theΒ nextΒ twelveΒ months,Β thereΒ existsΒ aΒ materialΒ uncertainty inΒ relationΒ toΒ theΒ going concernΒ basisΒ adoptedΒ inΒ theΒ preparationΒ ofΒ theΒ financialΒ statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
RevenueΒ representsΒ the amountsΒ receivable from theΒ sale ofΒ propertiesΒ duringΒ theΒ yearΒ andΒ otherΒ incomeΒ directly associatedΒ withΒ property development. Β RevenueΒ fromΒ theΒ saleΒ ofΒ propertiesΒ isΒ recognisedΒ whenΒ theΒ amountsΒ of revenueΒ andΒ costΒ canΒ beΒ measured reliably,Β theΒ significantΒ risksΒ andΒ rewards ofΒ ownership haveΒ beenΒ transferred toΒ theΒ buyer,Β neither continuingΒ managerialΒ involvementΒ norΒ effectiveΒ controlΒ ofΒ theΒ propertyΒ isΒ retained andΒ itΒ is probableΒ that theΒ economicΒ benefitsΒ associated with theΒ saleΒ willΒ flowΒ toΒ theΒ Group/Company.Β In theΒ majorityΒ of casesΒ propertiesΒ areΒ treatedΒ asΒ soldΒ andΒ profitsΒ areΒ recognisedΒ atΒ theΒ pointΒ ofΒ legalΒ completion.
Β
TheΒ DirectorsΒ areΒ ofΒ theΒ opinionΒ thatΒ thisΒ accountingΒ policyΒ accuratelyΒ reflectsΒ commercialΒ realityΒ andΒ the recordingΒ ofΒ revenueΒ forΒ theΒ Group.

STANDARDSΒ ISSUEDΒ BUTΒ NOTΒ YETΒ EFFECTIVE
Β
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (issued January 2020)
Β
The amendments clarify that the classification of a liability as current or non-current is based only on rights existing at the end of the reporting period and the classification is not affected by expectations about whether rights to settle or defer a liability will be exercised. Further, the amendments clarify that the settlement of a liability refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. This amendment only affects presentation.
Β
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.
Β
The Group does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from these amendments.
Β
Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (issued in May 2020)Β
Β
The amendments require any proceeds from selling items produced (and related production costs) in the course of bringing an item property, plant and equipment into operation to be recognised in profit or loss clarifying that such items are not reflected in the cost of the asset.
Β
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.
Β
The Group does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from these amendments.
Β
Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (issued in May 2020)
Β
The amendments clarify that the cost of fulfilling a contract are costs that relate directly to that contract. Such costs can be the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract or an allocation of other costs directly related to fulfilling that contract.
Β
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.
Β
The Group does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from these amendments.
Β
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 (issued in August 2020)
Β
The amendments are aimed at helping companies to provide investors with useful information about the effects of the reform of interest rate benchmarks on those companies' financial statements.
Β
Β
Β
Β
Β
The amendments complement those issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform.
Β
The Phase 2 amendments relate to:
Β
Β· changes to contractual cash flows-a company will not have to derecognise or adjust the carrying amount of financial instruments for changes required by the reform, but will instead update the effective interest rate to reflect the change to the alternative benchmark rate;
Β· hedge accounting-a company will not have to discontinue its hedge accounting solely because it makes changes required by the reform, if the hedge meets other hedge accounting criteria; and
Β· disclosures-a company is required to disclose information about new risks arising from the reform and how it manages the transition to alternative benchmark rates.
Β
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.
The Group does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from these amendments.
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting Policies (issued in February 2021)
The amendments enhance the disclosure requirements relating to an entity's accounting policies and clarify that the notes to a complete set of financial statements are required to include material accounting policy information. Material accounting policy information, when considered with other information included in the financial statements, can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of financial statements make on the basis of the financial statements
The amendments help preparers determine what constitutes material accounting policy information and notes that accounting policy information which focuses on how IFRS has been applied to its own circumstances is more useful for users of financial statements than standardised information or information duplicating the requirements of IFRS.
The amendment also states that immaterial accounting policy information need not be disclosed but when it is disclosed it shall not obscure material accounting policy information. Further, if accounting policy information is not deemed material this does not affect the materiality of related disclosure requirements of IFRS.
The disclosure of judgements made in applying accounting policies should reflect those that have had the most significant effect on items recognised in the financial statements.
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.
Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates (issued in February 2021)
The amendments define accounting estimates as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. An accounting policy may require an item in financial statements to be measured at a monetary amount that cannot be observed directly so that in order to achieve the objective of an accounting policy, an estimation is required.
The amendments state that the development of an accounting estimate requires the use of judgement or assumptions based on the latest available reliable information and involve the use of measurement techniques and inputs. Accounting estimates might then need to change as a result of new information, new developments or more experience.
A change in input or measurement technique is a change in accounting estimate which is applied prospectively unless the change results from the correction of prior period errors.
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and is not yet endorsed for use undertheCompaniesAct2006.

Β
Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (issued 7 May 2021)
The amendments specify how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations.
In specified circumstances, companies are exempt from recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities for the first time. Previously, there had been some uncertainty about whether the exemption applied to transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations-transactions for which companies recognise both an asset and a liability.Β
The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply and that companies are required to recognise deferred tax on such transactions. The aim of the amendments is to reduce diversity in the reporting of deferred tax on leases and decommissioning obligations.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, with early application permitted and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.

BASISΒ OFΒ CONSOLIDATION
Β
TheΒ consolidatedΒ financialΒ statementsΒ incorporateΒ theΒ financialΒ statementsΒ ofΒ theΒ GroupΒ andΒ itsΒ subsidiaries.
Β
TheΒ resultsΒ ofΒ subsidiaries acquiredΒ duringΒ theΒ yearΒ areΒ includedΒ fromΒ theΒ dateΒ ofΒ acquisition, beingΒ theΒ dateΒ on whichΒ theΒ GroupΒ obtainsΒ control.Β TheyΒ areΒ deconsolidatedΒ onΒ theΒ dateΒ thatΒ controlΒ ceases.
Β
TheΒ consideration transferredΒ forΒ theΒ acquisitionΒ ofΒ aΒ subsidiaryΒ isΒ theΒ fairΒ valueΒ ofΒ theΒ assetsΒ transferred,Β the liabilitiesΒ incurred and Β the Β equityΒ interestsΒ issued Β byΒ the Β Group. This Β fair Β value Β includesΒ anyΒ contingent consideration.Β Acquisition-relatedΒ costsΒ areΒ expensedΒ asΒ incurred.
Β
When theΒ GroupΒ ceasesΒ toΒ haveΒ control orΒ significantΒ influence, anyΒ retainedΒ interestΒ inΒ theΒ entityΒ isΒ re measured toΒ itsΒ fairΒ value,Β withΒ theΒ changeΒ inΒ carryingΒ amountΒ recognised inΒ profitΒ orΒ loss. Β TheΒ fairΒ valueΒ isΒ theΒ initial carryingΒ amountΒ forΒ theΒ purposesΒ ofΒ subsequently accountingΒ forΒ theΒ retainedΒ interestΒ asΒ anΒ associate,Β joint ventureΒ orΒ financialΒ asset. Β InΒ addition,Β anyΒ amountsΒ previouslyΒ recognisedΒ inΒ otherΒ comprehensive incomeΒ in respectΒ ofΒ thatΒ entityΒ areΒ accountedΒ forΒ asΒ ifΒ theΒ GroupΒ hadΒ directly disposedΒ ofΒ theΒ relatedΒ assetsΒ orΒ liabilities. ThisΒ mayΒ meanΒ theΒ amountsΒ previously recognised inΒ otherΒ comprehensive incomeΒ areΒ reclassifiedΒ toΒ profitΒ or loss.
Β
ControlΒ isΒ achievedΒ whenΒ theΒ Group:
Β
- Β hasΒ theΒ powerΒ overΒ theΒ investee;
- Β isΒ exposedΒ or hisΒ rights,Β to variableΒ returnsΒ fromΒ itsΒ involvementΒ withΒ theΒ investee;Β and
- Β hasΒ theΒ abilityΒ toΒ useΒ itsΒ powerΒ toΒ affectΒ itsΒ returns.
Β
FUNCTIONALΒ CURRENCY
Β
ItemsΒ includedΒ inΒ theΒ financial statementsΒ ofΒ eachΒ ofΒ theΒ Group's entitiesΒ areΒ measuredΒ using theΒ currencyΒ ofΒ the primaryΒ economicΒ environmentΒ inΒ whichΒ theΒ entityΒ operatesΒ ('theΒ functionalΒ currency'). TheΒ consolidated financialΒ statementsΒ areΒ presentedΒ inΒ PoundsΒ SterlingΒ (Β£),Β whichΒ isΒ theΒ Company's functionalΒ andΒ theΒ Group's presentationΒ currency.
Β
DEFINEDΒ CONTRIBUTIONΒ PENSIONΒ PLAN
Β
TheΒ GroupΒ operates aΒ definedΒ contributionΒ planΒ forΒ itsΒ employees.Β AΒ definedΒ contributionΒ planΒ isΒ aΒ pension plan underΒ whichΒ theΒ GroupΒ pays fixed contributionsΒ into aΒ separateΒ entity. OnceΒ theΒ contributionsΒ have beenΒ paidΒ the GroupΒ hasΒ noΒ furtherΒ paymentsΒ obligations.
Β
TheΒ contributionsΒ areΒ recognisedΒ asΒ anΒ expenseΒ inΒ theΒ profit or lossΒ whenΒ theyΒ fallΒ due. Amounts notΒ paidΒ areΒ shownΒ inΒ accrualsΒ asΒ aΒ liabilityΒ inΒ theΒ Statement ofΒ FinancialΒ Position.Β TheΒ assetsΒ ofΒ the planΒ are heldΒ separatelyΒ fromΒ theΒ GroupΒ inΒ independentlyΒ administeredΒ funds
Β
FINANCIALΒ INSTRUMENTS
Β
TheΒ CompanyΒ recognisesΒ financialΒ instrumentsΒ whenΒ itΒ becomesΒ aΒ partyΒ toΒ theΒ contractualΒ arrangementsΒ ofΒ the instrument.Β FinancialΒ instrumentsΒ areΒ de-recognisedΒ whenΒ theyΒ areΒ dischargedΒ orΒ whenΒ theΒ contractualΒ term expire.Β TheΒ Company'sΒ accountingΒ policiesΒ inΒ respectΒ ofΒ financialΒ instrumentsΒ transactionsΒ areΒ explainedΒ below: FinancialΒ assetsΒ and financialΒ liabilitiesΒ areΒ initiallyΒ measuredΒ atΒ fairΒ value.
Β
FinancialΒ assets:
AllΒ recognisedΒ financialΒ assetsΒ areΒ subsequently measuredΒ inΒ theirΒ entiretyΒ atΒ eitherΒ fairΒ valueΒ orΒ amortisedΒ cost, dependingΒ onΒ theΒ classificationΒ ofΒ theΒ financialΒ assets.
Β
FairΒ valueΒ throughΒ profitΒ orΒ loss
AllΒ ofΒ theΒ Company'sΒ financialΒ assetsΒ otherΒ thanΒ thoseΒ whichΒ meetΒ theΒ criteriaΒ toΒ beΒ measuredΒ atΒ amortisedΒ cost
areΒ subsequentlyΒ measuredΒ atΒ fairΒ valueΒ atΒ theΒ endΒ ofΒ eachΒ reportingΒ period,Β withΒ anyΒ fairΒ valueΒ gainsΒ orΒ losses
Β
Β
Β
Β
Β
beingΒ recognisedΒ inΒ profitΒ orΒ lossΒ toΒ theΒ extentΒ theyΒ areΒ notΒ partΒ ofΒ aΒ designatedΒ hedgingΒ relationship.Β TheΒ net gainΒ orΒ lossΒ recognisedΒ inΒ profitΒ orΒ lossΒ includesΒ anyΒ dividendΒ orΒ interestΒ earnedΒ onΒ theΒ financialΒ asset.
Β
DebtΒ instrumentsΒ atΒ amortisedΒ cost
DebtΒ instrumentsΒ areΒ subsequently measuredΒ atΒ amortisedΒ costΒ whereΒ theyΒ areΒ financialΒ assetsΒ heldΒ withinΒ a businessΒ modelΒ whoseΒ objectiveΒ isΒ toΒ holdΒ financial assets inΒ orderΒ toΒ collectΒ contractualΒ cashΒ flows andΒ selling theΒ financialΒ assets,Β andΒ theΒ contractualΒ terms ofΒ theΒ financialΒ assetΒ giveΒ riseΒ onΒ specifiedΒ datesΒ toΒ cash flowsΒ that areΒ solely paymentsΒ ofΒ principalΒ andΒ interestΒ onΒ theΒ principalΒ amountΒ outstanding.Β AmortisedΒ costΒ isΒ calculated usingΒ theΒ effectiveΒ interestΒ methodΒ andΒ representsΒ theΒ amountΒ measuredΒ atΒ initialΒ recognition lessΒ repayments of principalΒ plusΒ theΒ cumulativeΒ amortisationΒ usingΒ theΒ effectiveΒ interestΒ methodΒ ofΒ anyΒ differenceΒ betweenΒ the initialΒ amountΒ andΒ theΒ maturityΒ amount,Β adjustedΒ forΒ anyΒ lossΒ allowance.
Β
TradeΒ payables
TradeΒ payablesΒ areΒ initiallyΒ measuredΒ atΒ fairΒ valueΒ andΒ areΒ subsequently measuredΒ atΒ amortisedΒ cost,Β usingΒ the effectiveΒ interestΒ rate method.
Β
EquityΒ instruments
EquityΒ instrumentsΒ issuedΒ byΒ theΒ companyΒ are recordedΒ atΒ the proceedsΒ received,Β net ofΒ directΒ issueΒ costs.Β Shares issuedΒ are heldΒ atΒ theirΒ fairΒ value.
Β
ShareΒ capital
Ordinary shareΒ capitalΒ isΒ classifiedΒ asΒ equity.Β InterimΒ ordinary dividendsΒ areΒ recognisedΒ whenΒ paidΒ andΒ final ordinaryΒ dividendsΒ areΒ recognisedΒ asΒ a liabilityΒ inΒ theΒ yearΒ inΒ whichΒ theyΒ areΒ approved.
Β
ImpairmentΒ ofΒ financialΒ assets
TheΒ Company recognises aΒ lossΒ allowanceΒ forΒ expectedΒ creditΒ lossesΒ (ECL)Β onΒ investmentsΒ inΒ debtΒ instruments thatΒ areΒ measuredΒ atΒ amortisedΒ costΒ orΒ FVTOCI, leaseΒ receivables, amounts dueΒ fromΒ customersΒ under constructionΒ contracts, asΒ wellΒ asΒ onΒ loanΒ commitmentsΒ andΒ financial guarantee contracts.Β NoΒ impairmentΒ lossΒ is recognisedΒ forΒ investments inΒ equityΒ instruments.Β TheΒ amountΒ ofΒ expectedΒ creditΒ lossesΒ isΒ updatedΒ atΒ each reportingΒ dateΒ toΒ reflectΒ changesΒ inΒ creditΒ riskΒ sinceΒ initialΒ recognitionΒ ofΒ theΒ respectiveΒ financialΒ instrument.
Β
The CompanyΒ recognisesΒ lifetimeΒ ECLΒ onΒ allΒ financialΒ instrumentsΒ whereΒ there hasΒ beenΒ aΒ significantΒ increaseΒ in creditΒ riskΒ sinceΒ initialΒ recognition. TheΒ assessmentΒ ofΒ whetherΒ lifetime ECLΒ shouldΒ beΒ recognisedΒ isΒ basedΒ on significantΒ increaseΒ inΒ theΒ likelihoodΒ orΒ riskΒ ofΒ aΒ defaultΒ occurringΒ sinceΒ initialΒ recognitionΒ insteadΒ ofΒ onΒ evidence ofΒ a financialΒ assetΒ beingΒ credit-impairedΒ atΒ theΒ reportingΒ dateΒ orΒ anΒ actualΒ defaultΒ occurring.
Β
LifetimeΒ ECLΒ represents theΒ expectedΒ creditΒ lossesΒ thatΒ willΒ resultΒ fromΒ allΒ possibleΒ defaultΒ events overΒ the expectedΒ lifeΒ ofΒ aΒ financialΒ instrument.Β InΒ contract, 12Β monthΒ ECLΒ representsΒ theΒ portionΒ ofΒ lifetimeΒ ECL thatΒ is expectedΒ toΒ resultΒ from default eventsΒ onΒ aΒ financial instrument thatΒ areΒ possibleΒ withinΒ 12Β monthsΒ afterΒ the reportingΒ date.
Β
InΒ assessingΒ whether theΒ creditΒ risk onΒ aΒ financialΒ instrumentΒ hasΒ increased, theΒ following shallΒ beΒ taken into account:
-Β ActualΒ orΒ expectedΒ significantΒ deteriorationΒ inΒ theΒ financialΒ instrument'sΒ externalΒ orΒ internalΒ creditΒ rating;Β or
-Β SignificantΒ deteriorationΒ inΒ externalΒ marketΒ conditions;Β or
-Β ExistingΒ orΒ forecastΒ adverseΒ changesΒ inΒ business, financialΒ orΒ economicΒ conditionsΒ thatΒ will impact theΒ debtor's
abilityΒ toΒ meetΒ debtΒ obligations;Β or
-Β ActualΒ orΒ expectedΒ deteriorationΒ inΒ theΒ operatingΒ resultsΒ ofΒ theΒ debtor;Β or
-Β ActualΒ orΒ expectedΒ significantΒ adverseΒ changesΒ inΒ theΒ regulatoryΒ orΒ technologicalΒ environmentΒ ofΒ theΒ debtor
that willΒ impactΒ theΒ debtor'sΒ abilityΒ toΒ meetΒ debtΒ obligations.
Β
ForΒ certainΒ categories ofΒ financialΒ asset,Β suchΒ asΒ tradeΒ receivables, assetsΒ thatΒ areΒ assessedΒ notΒ toΒ beΒ impaired individuallyΒ areΒ subsequentlyΒ assessedΒ forΒ impairmentΒ onΒ aΒ collectiveΒ basis.Β ObjectiveΒ evidenceΒ ofΒ impairment forΒ aΒ portfolioΒ ofΒ receivablesΒ couldΒ includeΒ theΒ Company'sΒ pastΒ experienceΒ ofΒ collectingΒ payments,Β anΒ increaseΒ in theΒ numberΒ ofΒ delayedΒ paymentsΒ inΒ theΒ portfolio pastΒ theΒ averageΒ creditΒ periodΒ ofΒ 30Β days,Β asΒ wellΒ asΒ observable changesΒ inΒ the nationalΒ orΒ localΒ economicΒ conditionsΒ thatΒ correlateΒ withΒ defaultΒ onΒ receivables.

Β
FinancialΒ liabilities:
Β
FairΒ valueΒ throughΒ profitΒ orΒ loss
Β
FinancialΒ liabilities areΒ classifiedΒ asΒ atΒ fairΒ valueΒ through profitΒ orΒ loss,Β when theΒ financialΒ liability isΒ heldΒ for trading,Β orΒ isΒ designatedΒ asΒ atΒ fairΒ valueΒ throughΒ profit orΒ loss.Β This designationΒ mayΒ beΒ madeΒ ifΒ such designation estimates orΒ significantlyΒ reducesΒ aΒ measurementΒ orΒ recognitionΒ inconsistencyΒ thatΒ wouldΒ otherwise arise,Β orΒ the financialΒ liabilityΒ formsΒ partΒ ofΒ aΒ groupΒ ofΒ financialΒ instrumentsΒ whichΒ isΒ managedΒ andΒ itsΒ performance is evaluatedΒ onΒ aΒ fairΒ valueΒ basis,Β orΒ theΒ financialΒ liabilityΒ formsΒ partΒ ofΒ aΒ contractΒ containingΒ oneΒ orΒ more embeddedΒ derivatives,Β andΒ IFRSΒ 9Β permitsΒ the entireΒ combinedΒ contractΒ toΒ beΒ designated asΒ atΒ fairΒ valueΒ through profitΒ orΒ loss.Β AnyΒ gainsΒ orΒ lossesΒ arisingΒ onΒ changesΒ inΒ fairΒ valueΒ areΒ recognisedΒ inΒ profitΒ orΒ lossΒ toΒ theΒ extent thatΒ theyΒ are notΒ partΒ ofΒ a designatedΒ hedgingΒ relationship.
Β
AtΒ amortisedΒ cost
Β
FinancialΒ liabilities whichΒ areΒ neither contingentΒ considerationΒ ofΒ anΒ acquirerΒ inΒ aΒ businessΒ combination,Β heldΒ for trading,Β norΒ designatedΒ asΒ atΒ fairΒ valueΒ throughΒ profitΒ orΒ lossΒ areΒ subsequently measuredΒ atΒ amortisedΒ costΒ using theΒ effectiveΒ interestΒ method.Β ThisΒ isΒ aΒ methodΒ ofΒ calculating theΒ amortisedΒ costΒ ofΒ aΒ financialΒ liability andΒ of allocating interestΒ expenseΒ overΒ theΒ relevantΒ period.Β TheΒ effectiveΒ interestΒ rateΒ isΒ theΒ rateΒ thatΒ exactly discounts estimatedΒ future cash paymentsΒ throughΒ theΒ expectedΒ lifeΒ ofΒ theΒ financialΒ liability,Β orΒ where appropriateΒ aΒ shorter period,Β toΒ theΒ amortisedΒ costΒ ofΒ a financialΒ liability.
Β
DerecognitionΒ ofΒ financialΒ liabilities
Β
TheΒ company derecognisesΒ financialΒ liabilitiesΒ when,Β andΒ onlyΒ when,Β theΒ company'sΒ obligationsΒ areΒ discharged, cancelledΒ orΒ theyΒ expire.
Β
CASHΒ ANDΒ CASHΒ EQUIVALENTS
Β
CashΒ andΒ cashΒ equivalents compriseΒ cashΒ balancesΒ andΒ depositsΒ heldΒ atΒ callΒ withΒ banksΒ withΒ maturities of Β three monthsΒ orΒ lessΒ fromΒ inception.
Β
INVENTORIES
Β
InventoriesΒ consistΒ ofΒ propertiesΒ underΒ construction andΒ areΒ statedΒ atΒ theΒ lowerΒ ofΒ costΒ andΒ netΒ realisableΒ value. CostΒ comprises directΒ materialsΒ and,Β whereΒ applicable, directΒ labourΒ costsΒ andΒ thoseΒ overheads thatΒ haveΒ been incurredΒ inΒ bringingΒ theΒ inventoriesΒ toΒ theirΒ presentΒ locationΒ andΒ condition. InterestΒ onΒ sumsΒ borrowedΒ that financeΒ specificΒ projectsΒ isΒ addedΒ toΒ cost.Β NetΒ realisable valueΒ representsΒ theΒ estimatedΒ sellingΒ priceΒ lessΒ all estimatedΒ costsΒ ofΒ completionΒ andΒ costsΒ toΒ beΒ incurredΒ in marketing,Β sellingΒ andΒ distribution.
Β
PROPERTYΒ PLANTΒ ANDΒ EQUIPMENT
Β
Property, plant Β and Β equipmentΒ are Β stated Β at Β cost, Β net Β of Β depreciationΒ and Β any Β provision Β for Β impairment. Depreciation isΒ calculatedΒ toΒ writeΒ downΒ theΒ costΒ lessΒ estimatedΒ residualΒ valueΒ ofΒ allΒ tangibleΒ fixedΒ assetsΒ using theΒ reducingΒ balanceΒ methodΒ overΒ theirΒ expectedΒ usefulΒ economicΒ lives.Β TheΒ ratesΒ generallyΒ applicableΒ are:
Β
Fixtures,Β fittingsΒ andΒ equipmentΒ -Β 25%Β onΒ reducingΒ balance
Β
INVESTMENTΒ PROPERTY
Β
InvestmentΒ property,Β whichΒ isΒ property heldΒ toΒ earnΒ rentalsΒ and/orΒ forΒ capitalΒ appreciation (includingΒ property underΒ constructionΒ forΒ suchΒ purposes),Β isΒ measuredΒ initially atΒ cost,Β includingΒ transaction costs.Β SubsequentΒ to initialΒ recognition,Β investmentΒ propertyΒ isΒ measuredΒ atΒ fair value.Β GainsΒ orΒ lossesΒ arisingΒ fromΒ changesΒ inΒ theΒ fair valueΒ ofΒ investmentΒ propertyΒ areΒ includedΒ inΒ profitΒ orΒ lossΒ inΒ theΒ periodΒ inΒ whichΒ theyΒ arise."
Β
FINANCIALΒ LIABILITIESΒ ANDΒ EQUITY
Β
FinancialΒ liabilities andΒ equityΒ instruments issuedΒ byΒ theΒ GroupΒ areΒ classifiedΒ accordingΒ toΒ theΒ substance ofΒ the contractualΒ arrangementsΒ enteredΒ intoΒ andΒ theΒ definitionsΒ ofΒ aΒ financialΒ liabilityΒ andΒ anΒ equityΒ instrument.Β An
Β
Β
Β
equityΒ instrumentΒ isΒ anyΒ contractΒ thatΒ evidencesΒ aΒ residualΒ interestΒ inΒ theΒ assetsΒ ofΒ theΒ GroupΒ afterΒ deductingΒ all ofΒ itsΒ liabilities. TheΒ accounting policiesΒ adoptedΒ forΒ specificΒ financialΒ liabilitiesΒ andΒ equity instruments areΒ set outΒ below.
Β
BORROWINGΒ COSTS
Β
BorrowingΒ costsΒ directlyΒ attributableΒ toΒ theΒ acquisition,Β constructionΒ orΒ productionΒ ofΒ qualifyingΒ assets,Β which areΒ assets thatΒ take aΒ substantialΒ periodΒ ofΒ timeΒ to beΒ completedΒ forΒ sale, areΒ addedΒ toΒ theΒ costΒ ofΒ propertyΒ heldΒ as stockΒ atΒ theΒ year end. Β All other borrowingΒ costs are recognisedΒ inΒ theΒ profit or lossΒ inΒ the yearΒ inΒ whichΒ theyΒ relate.
Β
CURRENTΒ ANDΒ DEFERREDΒ TAXATION
Β
CurrentΒ taxΒ assetsΒ andΒ liabilities forΒ theΒ current andΒ priorΒ yearsΒ areΒ measuredΒ atΒ theΒ amountΒ expectedΒ toΒ be recoveredΒ fromΒ orΒ paidΒ toΒ theΒ taxΒ authorities. Β TheΒ taxΒ ratesΒ andΒ theΒ taxΒ lawsΒ usedΒ toΒ computeΒ theΒ amountΒ are thoseΒ thatΒ areΒ enactedΒ or substantivelyΒ enacted,Β byΒ theΒ reportingΒ date.
Β
TheΒ taxΒ expenseΒ representsΒ theΒ sumΒ ofΒ theΒ taxΒ currentlyΒ payableΒ andΒ deferredΒ tax.
Β
TheΒ taxΒ currently payableΒ isΒ basedΒ onΒ taxableΒ profitΒ forΒ theΒ year.Β TaxableΒ profitΒ differsΒ fromΒ netΒ profitΒ as reportedΒ inΒ theΒ incomeΒ statementΒ becauseΒ itΒ excludes itemsΒ ofΒ incomeΒ orΒ expense thatΒ areΒ taxableΒ or deductible inΒ otherΒ yearsΒ andΒ itΒ furtherΒ excludes itemsΒ thatΒ areΒ neverΒ taxable orΒ deductible. TheΒ Group's liabilityΒ forΒ currentΒ taxΒ isΒ calculatedΒ usingΒ taxΒ ratesΒ thatΒ haveΒ beenΒ enactedΒ orΒ substantively enactedΒ byΒ the reportingΒ date.
Β
DeferredΒ taxΒ isΒ theΒ taxΒ expectedΒ toΒ beΒ payableΒ orΒ recoverable onΒ differences betweenΒ theΒ carryingΒ amountsΒ of assetsΒ andΒ liabilitiesΒ inΒ theΒ financialΒ statementsΒ andΒ theΒ corresponding taxΒ basesΒ usedΒ inΒ theΒ computation of taxableΒ profit. Β DeferredΒ taxΒ liabilitiesΒ are generallyΒ recognisedΒ forΒ allΒ taxableΒ temporaryΒ differencesΒ and deferredΒ taxΒ assetsΒ areΒ recognised toΒ theΒ extent thatΒ itΒ isΒ probableΒ thatΒ taxableΒ profitsΒ willΒ beΒ available against whichΒ deductibleΒ temporary differencesΒ canΒ beΒ utilised.Β SuchΒ assetsΒ andΒ liabilities areΒ notΒ recognised ifΒ the temporaryΒ differenceΒ arisesΒ fromΒ goodwillΒ orΒ fromΒ theΒ initialΒ recognitionΒ (otherΒ thanΒ inΒ aΒ businessΒ combination) ofΒ otherΒ assetsΒ andΒ liabilitiesΒ inΒ a transactionΒ thatΒ affectsΒ neitherΒ theΒ taxΒ profitΒ norΒ theΒ accountingΒ profit.
Β
The carryingΒ amountΒ ofΒ deferredΒ taxΒ assetsΒ isΒ reviewedΒ atΒ eachΒ reportingΒ date and reduced toΒ theΒ extentΒ thatΒ itΒ is noΒ longerΒ probableΒ thatΒ sufficientΒ taxableΒ profitsΒ willΒ beΒ availableΒ toΒ allowΒ allΒ orΒ partΒ ofΒ theΒ assetΒ to be recovered.
Β
DeferredΒ taxΒ isΒ calculatedΒ atΒ theΒ taxΒ ratesΒ thatΒ areΒ expectedΒ toΒ applyΒ inΒ theΒ yearΒ whenΒ theΒ liabilityΒ isΒ settledΒ or theΒ assetΒ isΒ realised. Β DeferredΒ taxΒ isΒ chargedΒ orΒ creditedΒ inΒ profitΒ orΒ loss,Β exceptΒ whenΒ itΒ relatesΒ toΒ items charged orΒ credited directlyΒ toΒ otherΒ comprehensiveΒ income,Β inΒ whichΒ case theΒ deferredΒ tax is alsoΒ dealtΒ withΒ in otherΒ comprehensiveΒ income.
Β
PROVISIONS
Β
ProvisionsΒ areΒ recognisedΒ whenΒ theΒ GroupΒ hasΒ aΒ presentΒ obligationΒ (legalΒ orΒ constructive)Β asΒ aΒ resultΒ ofΒ a pastΒ eventΒ andΒ itΒ isΒ probableΒ thatΒ anΒ outflowΒ ofΒ resourcesΒ embodying economic benefitsΒ willΒ beΒ requiredΒ to settleΒ theΒ obligation andΒ aΒ reliableΒ estimate canΒ beΒ madeΒ ofΒ theΒ amount ofΒ theΒ obligation. Β Where theΒ Group expectsΒ someΒ orΒ allΒ ofΒ aΒ provisionΒ toΒ beΒ reimbursed,Β theΒ reimbursement isΒ recognisedΒ asΒ aΒ separateΒ asset but onlyΒ whenΒ theΒ reimbursement isΒ virtuallyΒ certain.Β TheΒ expenseΒ relatingΒ toΒ anyΒ provisionΒ isΒ presentedΒ inΒ the incomeΒ statementΒ netΒ ofΒ anyΒ reimbursement.Β IfΒ theΒ effectΒ ofΒ theΒ timeΒ valueΒ ofΒ moneyΒ isΒ material,Β provisions areΒ discounted usingΒ aΒ current pre-taxΒ rateΒ thatΒ reflects,Β whereΒ appropriate, theΒ risksΒ specificΒ toΒ theΒ liability. WhereΒ discounting isΒ used,Β theΒ increaseΒ inΒ theΒ provision dueΒ toΒ theΒ passageΒ ofΒ timeΒ isΒ recognisedΒ asΒ a borrowingΒ cost.
Β
COMMITMENTSΒ ANDΒ CONTINGENCIES
Β
CommitmentsΒ andΒ contingentΒ liabilitiesΒ areΒ disclosedΒ inΒ theΒ financialΒ statements.Β TheyΒ areΒ disclosedΒ unless theΒ possibility ofΒ anΒ outflowΒ ofΒ resourcesΒ embodyingΒ economicΒ benefitsΒ isΒ remote.Β AΒ contingentΒ assetΒ isΒ not recognisedΒ inΒ theΒ financial statementsΒ butΒ disclosedΒ whenΒ an inflowΒ ofΒ economicΒ benefitsΒ isΒ virtuallyΒ certain.

TheΒ GroupΒ assessesΒ theΒ netΒ realisable valueΒ ofΒ inventories underΒ developmentΒ andΒ completed properties heldΒ for saleΒ accordingΒ toΒ theirΒ recoverableΒ amountsΒ basedΒ onΒ theΒ realisability ofΒ theseΒ properties,Β takingΒ intoΒ account estimatedΒ costsΒ toΒ completionΒ basedΒ onΒ pastΒ experienceΒ andΒ committedΒ contractsΒ andΒ estimatedΒ netΒ salesΒ based onΒ prevailingΒ marketΒ conditions.Β ProvisionΒ isΒ madeΒ whenΒ eventsΒ orΒ changesΒ inΒ circumstances indicateΒ thatΒ the carryingΒ amountsΒ mayΒ notΒ beΒ realised.Β TheΒ carryingΒ valueΒ isΒ reducedΒ byΒ itsΒ sellingΒ priceΒ lessΒ costsΒ toΒ complete andΒ sell. Β ThisΒ impairmentΒ lossΒ isΒ recognisedΒ immediatelyΒ inΒ profit or loss. The assessmentΒ requiresΒ theΒ use ofΒ judgmentΒ andΒ estimates.Β The carryingΒ amountΒ ofΒ inventoryΒ is disclosedΒ inΒ note 12 toΒ theΒ financialΒ statements.

RecognitionΒ ofΒ deferredΒ taxΒ assets
Β
The recognitionΒ ofΒ deferredΒ tax assetsΒ is based upon whetherΒ itΒ isΒ moreΒ likelyΒ thanΒ notΒ thatΒ sufficientΒ andΒ suitable taxableΒ profitsΒ willΒ beΒ availableΒ inΒ theΒ futureΒ againstΒ whichΒ theΒ reversalΒ ofΒ temporaryΒ differencesΒ canΒ be deducted. ToΒ determineΒ theΒ futureΒ taxableΒ profits,Β referenceΒ isΒ madeΒ toΒ theΒ latestΒ availableΒ profitΒ forecasts. WhereΒ theΒ temporaryΒ differencesΒ are relatedΒ toΒ losses,Β relevantΒ tax lawΒ isΒ consideredΒ to determineΒ theΒ availability ofΒ theΒ lossesΒ toΒ offsetΒ againstΒ theΒ futureΒ taxableΒ profits.
Β
ImpairmentΒ ofΒ nonΒ financialΒ assets
AtΒ eachΒ statementΒ ofΒ financialΒ positionΒ dateΒ theΒ companyΒ reviewsΒ theΒ carryingΒ amountsΒ ofΒ itsΒ tangibleΒ and
intangibleΒ assetsΒ withΒ finiteΒ livesΒ toΒ determineΒ whetherΒ thereΒ isΒ anΒ indication thatΒ thoseΒ assetsΒ haveΒ sufferedΒ an impairmentΒ loss.Β IfΒ anyΒ suchΒ indication exists,Β theΒ recoverable amount ofΒ theΒ assetΒ isΒ estimatedΒ inΒ orderΒ to determineΒ the extentΒ ofΒ theΒ impairmentΒ lossΒ (ifΒ any).
Β
IfΒ theΒ recoverableΒ amountΒ ofΒ anΒ assetΒ isΒ estimatedΒ toΒ beΒ lessΒ thanΒ itsΒ carryingΒ amount,Β theΒ carryingΒ amountΒ ofΒ the assetΒ isΒ reducedΒ toΒ itsΒ recoverable amount.Β ImpairmentΒ lossesΒ areΒ recognisedΒ asΒ anΒ expenseΒ immediately,Β unless theΒ relevantΒ assetΒ isΒ landΒ orΒ buildingsΒ atΒ aΒ revalued amount,Β inΒ whichΒ caseΒ theΒ impairment lossΒ isΒ treatedΒ asΒ a revaluationΒ decrease.
Β
WhereΒ anΒ impairmentΒ lossΒ subsequently reverses,Β theΒ carryingΒ amountΒ ofΒ theΒ assetΒ isΒ increasedΒ toΒ theΒ revised estimateΒ ofΒ itsΒ recoverable amount,Β butΒ soΒ thatΒ theΒ increasedΒ carryingΒ amountΒ doesΒ notΒ exceedΒ theΒ carrying amountΒ thatΒ wouldΒ haveΒ beenΒ determined hadΒ noΒ impairmentΒ lossΒ beenΒ recognisedΒ forΒ theΒ assetΒ inΒ priorΒ years.Β A reversalΒ ofΒ anΒ impairment lossΒ isΒ recognisedΒ asΒ incomeΒ immediately,Β unlessΒ theΒ relevantΒ assetΒ isΒ carriedΒ atΒ a revaluedΒ amount,Β inΒ whichΒ caseΒ theΒ reversalΒ ofΒ theΒ impairmentΒ lossΒ isΒ treatedΒ asΒ a revaluationΒ increase.

Β
OnΒ 13 July, 2020 the Company undertook a sub-division of its ordinary shares, which sub divided the 487,690,380 ordinary shares of 0.1p each into 487,690,380 ordinary shares of 0.01p each and 487,690,380 deferred shares of 0.09p each. The deferred shares of 0.09p each were consolidated into deferred shares of 0.9p each ranking pari passu as one class with the existing deferred shares of 0.9p each.
Β
On 14 July 2020, 937,500,000 ordinary shares of 0.01p each were issued under a placing at 0.08p each (at a premium of 0.07p per share) to raise Β£750,000 before costs of Β£ 66,863.
Β
In addition, on 14 July 2020, warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares of 0.01p were granted as follows:
Β
(a) Subscribers to the placing were granted warrants to subscribe for up to 937,500,000 shares for a period of two years, exercisable at 0.2p per share;
Β
(b) Peterhouse Capital Limited was granted warrants to subscribe for shares equivalent up to 3% of the issued ordinary share capital for time to time, exercisable for a period of two years, at 0.08p per share.
Β
Following the consolidation of ordinary shares in December 2020, the warrants have been adjusted and comprise placee warrants to subscribe for up to 93,750,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p at 2p per share, and the warrants held by Peterhouse Capital Limited are exercisable at 0.8p per share.
Β
In relation to the granting of these warrants to Peterhouse Capital Limited, these fall under the requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and as such are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. At the grant date of these warrants these are valued using a Black Scholes model to determine the intrinsic value of the warrant and a liability is recognized for this amount with a corresponding expense through the income statement. The Directors' have concluded that the intrinsic value of the warrant as at 31 March 2021 is not material to the results and subsequent movements in the share price have decreased this value further. As such no accounting entries have been made to these results.
Further on 14 July 2020, Β£ 600,000 of convertible loan notes were issued to Mr C C Johnson as part of arrangements to reorganize loans between him and the Group. The notes are repayable on 31 July 2022 and are convertible at any time into 300,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.01p at 0.2p per share. On conversion, warrants to subscribe for up to 300,000,000 ordinary shares will be granted to Mr C C Johnson exercisable for a period of two years from the date of grant at 0.2p per share. Following the consolidation of ordinary shares in December 2020, the loan notes have been adjusted and are convertible into 30,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p at 2p per share, with warrants to be granted to subscribe for up to 30,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p each at 2p per share.
Β
The convertible loan notes have been accounted for as having both a debt and an equity element. This results in the creation of a loan note equity reserve at the point of issue. This loan note equity reserve is the difference between the loan note value received by the company of Β£ 600,000 and the fair value of a debt only instrument with a 10% imputed interest rate and a final settlement figure of Β£ 600,000 in July 2022. This 10% imputed interest rate of Β£ 33,058 (2020: nil), is managements' best estimate as to the interest rate that would be expected from the market for an unsecured loan of Β£ 600,000 without a conversion element.
Β
OrdinaryΒ sharesΒ entitleΒ theΒ holderΒ toΒ receiveΒ noticeΒ of Β and Β toΒ attendΒ orΒ voteΒ atΒ anyΒ generalΒ meetingΒ ofΒ theΒ Company or toΒ receiveΒ dividendsΒ orΒ otherΒ distributions.
Β
Deferred shares do not entitle the holder to receive notice of and to attend or vote at any general meeting of the Company or to receive dividends or other distributions. Upon winding up or dissolution of the Company the holders of deferred shares shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the nominal amount paid up thereon, but only after holders of ordinary shares have received £ 100,000 per ordinary share. Holders of deferred shares are not entitled to any further rights of participation in the assets of the Company. The Company has the right to purchase the deferred shares in issue at any time for no consideration.
Β
On 29 December 2020, for every ten of the 1,425,190,380 ordinary shares of 0.01p then in issue, were consolidated into one ordinary share of 0.1p resulting in there being 142,519,038 ordinary shares of 0.1p in issue.

InterestΒ rateΒ risk
Β
TheΒ GroupΒ isΒ sensitiveΒ toΒ changesΒ inΒ interest ratesΒ whereΒ interestΒ is chargedΒ onΒ aΒ variableΒ rateΒ basis. This risk has been minimized by:

- partial repayments made in the year on other loans and,
- theΒ ParagonΒ mortgagesΒ which areΒ onΒ aΒ fixedΒ rateΒ forΒ theΒ firstΒ fiveΒ yearsΒ ofΒ theΒ seven yearΒ term.
Β
TheΒ impactΒ ofΒ aΒ 100Β basisΒ pointΒ increaseΒ inΒ interestΒ ratesΒ onΒ theseΒ loansΒ wouldΒ resultΒ inΒ additionalΒ interestΒ cost forΒ theΒ yearΒ of £ Nil Β (2020:Β Β£14,794).Β

1 Β GENERALΒ INFORMATION
Β
NatureΒ ofΒ operations
TrafalgarΒ PropertyΒ GroupΒ PlcΒ ("theΒ Company")Β isΒ theΒ UKΒ holdingΒ companyΒ ofΒ aΒ groupΒ ofΒ companiesΒ whichΒ are
engagedΒ inΒ property development. Β TheΒ CompanyΒ isΒ registeredΒ inΒ EnglandΒ andΒ Wales. Β ItsΒ registeredΒ officeΒ and principalΒ placeΒ ofΒ businessΒ isΒ ChequersΒ Barn,Β BoughΒ Beech,Β Edenbridge,Β KentΒ TN8Β 7PD.
Β
Β
2 Β BASISΒ OFΒ PREPARATION
Β
TheΒ financialΒ statementsΒ haveΒ beenΒ preparedΒ underΒ theΒ historicalΒ costΒ convention andΒ inΒ accordanceΒ with applicableΒ UnitedΒ KingdomΒ law,Β FRSΒ 102Β andΒ accounting standards.Β TheΒ principalΒ accounting policiesΒ are describedΒ below.Β TheyΒ haveΒ allΒ beenΒ appliedΒ consistentlyΒ throughoutΒ theΒ yearΒ andΒ precedingΒ year.
Β
The CompanyΒ hasΒ takenΒ advantageΒ ofΒ theΒ exemptionΒ allowedΒ underΒ sectionΒ 408Β ofΒ theΒ CompaniesΒ ActΒ 2006 and hasΒ notΒ presentedΒ itsΒ ownΒ StatementΒ ofΒ ComprehensiveΒ IncomeΒ toΒ theseΒ financialΒ statements.
Β
TheΒ CompanyΒ hasΒ takenΒ advantage ofΒ theΒ disclosure exemption from theΒ requirementsΒ ofΒ section 7Β StatementΒ of Cashflow,Β asΒ permittedΒ byΒ theΒ FRSΒ 102 "TheΒ FinancialΒ ReportingΒ StandardΒ applicableΒ inΒ theΒ UKΒ andΒ RepublicΒ of Ireland".
3 Β SIGNIFICANTΒ ACCOUNTINGΒ POLICIES (a) Β GOINGΒ CONCERN
TheΒ DirectorsΒ haveΒ reviewedΒ forecastsΒ andΒ budgetsΒ forΒ theΒ comingΒ year,Β whichΒ haveΒ beenΒ drawnΒ upΒ with
appropriateΒ regardΒ forΒ theΒ currentΒ economicΒ environmentΒ andΒ theΒ particularΒ circumstancesΒ inΒ whichΒ theΒ Company operates.Β TheseΒ wereΒ preparedΒ withΒ referenceΒ toΒ historicalΒ andΒ currentΒ industry knowledge, takingΒ intoΒ account futureΒ strategyΒ ofΒ the CompanyΒ andΒ widerΒ Group.
Β
TheΒ existingΒ operationsΒ haveΒ beenΒ generatingΒ fundsΒ toΒ meetΒ short-term operatingΒ cashΒ requirements.Β AsΒ aΒ result ofΒ theseΒ considerations,Β at Β theΒ timeΒ ofΒ approvingΒ the financialΒ statements,Β the DirectorsΒ considerΒ thatΒ the CompanyΒ andΒ theΒ GroupΒ haveΒ sufficientΒ resourcesΒ toΒ continueΒ inΒ operationalΒ existenceΒ forΒ theΒ foreseeableΒ future. ItΒ isΒ appropriateΒ toΒ adoptΒ the goingΒ concernΒ basisΒ inΒ theΒ preparationΒ ofΒ theΒ financialΒ statements.
Β
As withΒ allΒ businessΒ forecasts,Β theΒ Directors'Β statementΒ cannotΒ guaranteeΒ that theΒ goingΒ concernΒ basis willΒ remain
appropriateΒ givenΒ theΒ inherentΒ uncertaintyΒ aboutΒ theΒ futureΒ events.
Β
(b) Β INVESTMENTS
InvestmentsΒ heldΒ as fixedΒ assetsΒ are statedΒ atΒ costΒ lessΒ provisionΒ forΒ impairment.
Β
(c) Β TAXATION
CurrentΒ tax,Β includingΒ UKΒ corporation taxΒ andΒ foreignΒ tax,Β isΒ providedΒ atΒ amounts expectedΒ toΒ beΒ paidΒ (or recovered)Β usingΒ theΒ taxΒ ratesΒ andΒ lawsΒ thatΒ haveΒ beenΒ enactedΒ or substantivelyΒ enactedΒ byΒ theΒ balanceΒ sheetΒ date.
Β
DeferredΒ taxΒ isΒ recognisedΒ inΒ respect ofΒ allΒ timingΒ differences thatΒ haveΒ originatedΒ butΒ notΒ reversed atΒ the balanceΒ sheetΒ dateΒ whereΒ transactionsΒ orΒ eventsΒ thatΒ resultΒ inΒ anΒ obligationΒ toΒ payΒ moreΒ taxΒ inΒ theΒ futureΒ orΒ a rightΒ toΒ payΒ lessΒ taxΒ inΒ theΒ futureΒ haveΒ occurredΒ atΒ theΒ balanceΒ sheetΒ date.Β TimingΒ differences areΒ differences betweenΒ theΒ company'sΒ taxableΒ profits andΒ itsΒ results asΒ statedΒ inΒ theΒ financial statements thatΒ ariseΒ fromΒ the inclusionΒ ofΒ gainsΒ andΒ lossesΒ inΒ taxΒ assessmentsΒ inΒ yearsΒ differentΒ fromΒ thoseΒ inΒ whichΒ theyΒ areΒ recognisedΒ in theΒ financialΒ statements.
Β
AΒ deferredΒ taxΒ assetΒ isΒ regardedΒ asΒ recoverableΒ andΒ therefore recognised onlyΒ when,Β onΒ theΒ basisΒ ofΒ allΒ available evidence, itΒ canΒ beΒ regardedΒ asΒ moreΒ likely thanΒ notΒ thatΒ thereΒ willΒ beΒ suitableΒ taxableΒ profits fromΒ which the futureΒ reversalΒ ofΒ the underlyingΒ timingΒ differencesΒ canΒ beΒ deducted.
Β
(d) Β FINANCIALΒ INSTRUMENTS
FinancialΒ assetsΒ andΒ liabilitiesΒ areΒ recognisedΒ inΒ theΒ statementsΒ ofΒ financialΒ positionΒ whenΒ theΒ CompanyΒ has
becomeΒ a partyΒ toΒ theΒ contractualΒ provisionsΒ ofΒ theΒ instruments.
Β
Β
Β
Β
TheΒ Company'sΒ financialΒ assetsΒ andΒ liabilitiesΒ areΒ initiallyΒ measuredΒ atΒ fairΒ valueΒ plusΒ anyΒ directlyΒ attributable transaction costs. Β TheΒ carryingΒ valueΒ ofΒ theΒ Company'sΒ financial assets,Β primarilyΒ cashΒ andΒ bankΒ balances,Β and liabilities,Β primarilyΒ the Company'sΒ payablesΒ andΒ otherΒ accruedΒ expenses,Β approximateΒ toΒ theirΒ fair values.
Β
(i) Β FinancialΒ assets
OnΒ initial recognition, financialΒ assetsΒ areΒ classifiedΒ asΒ eitherΒ financial assetsΒ atΒ fairΒ valueΒ through profitΒ orΒ loss, held-to-maturity investments,Β loansΒ andΒ receivablesΒ financialΒ assets,Β orΒ available-for-saleΒ financialΒ assets,Β as appropriate.
Β
TradeΒ andΒ otherΒ receivables
Trade andΒ otherΒ receivablesΒ (includingΒ depositsΒ andΒ prepayments)Β thatΒ haveΒ fixedΒ orΒ determinableΒ paymentsΒ that areΒ notΒ quotedΒ inΒ anΒ activeΒ marketΒ areΒ classifiedΒ asΒ otherΒ receivables, deposits,Β andΒ prepayments. Other receivables, deposits,Β andΒ prepayments areΒ measuredΒ atΒ amortisedΒ costΒ usingΒ theΒ effectiveΒ interestΒ method,Β less anyΒ impairment loss. Β InterestΒ income isΒ recognised byΒ applyingΒ theΒ effectiveΒ interestΒ rate,Β exceptΒ forΒ short-term receivablesΒ whenΒ theΒ recognitionΒ ofΒ interestΒ wouldΒ beΒ immaterial.
Β
(ii) Β FinancialΒ liabilitiesΒ andΒ equityΒ instruments
FinancialΒ liabilities areΒ classifiedΒ asΒ liabilities orΒ equity inΒ accordanceΒ withΒ theΒ substance ofΒ theΒ contractual arrangement.
Β
FinancialΒ liabilities
FinancialΒ liabilitiesΒ compriseΒ long-term borrowings,Β short-term borrowings,Β tradeΒ andΒ otherΒ payablesΒ and accruals, measuredΒ atΒ amortisedΒ costΒ usingΒ theΒ effectiveΒ interest method.
Β
TheΒ effectiveΒ interestΒ methodΒ isΒ aΒ methodΒ ofΒ calculatingΒ theΒ amortisedΒ costΒ ofΒ aΒ financialΒ liabilityΒ andΒ of allocating interestΒ incomeΒ overΒ theΒ relevantΒ period. Β TheΒ effectiveΒ interestΒ rateΒ isΒ theΒ rateΒ thatΒ exactly discounts estimatedΒ futureΒ cashΒ paymentsΒ (including allΒ feesΒ onΒ pointsΒ paidΒ orΒ receivedΒ thatΒ formΒ anΒ integralΒ partΒ ofΒ the effectiveΒ interestΒ rate,Β transaction costsΒ andΒ otherΒ premiumsΒ orΒ discounts)Β throughΒ theΒ expectedΒ lifeΒ ofΒ the financialΒ liability,Β or,Β whereΒ appropriate,Β a shorterΒ periodΒ toΒ the netΒ carryingΒ amountΒ onΒ initialΒ recognition.
Β
EquityΒ instruments
AnΒ equityΒ instrumentΒ isΒ anyΒ contractΒ thatΒ evidencesΒ aΒ residualΒ interestΒ inΒ theΒ assetsΒ ofΒ an entityΒ afterΒ deductingΒ all itsΒ liabilities. Β EquityΒ instruments issuedΒ byΒ theΒ CompanyΒ areΒ recognisedΒ atΒ theΒ proceedsΒ received,Β netΒ ofΒ direct issueΒ costs.
Β
4 CRITICAL Β ACCOUNTING Β JUDGEMENTS Β AND Β KEY Β SOURCES Β OF Β ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Β
InΒ theΒ applicationΒ ofΒ theΒ Company'sΒ accountingΒ policies,Β whichΒ areΒ describedΒ in noteΒ 3,Β theΒ DirectorsΒ are requiredΒ toΒ makeΒ judgements,Β estimatesΒ andΒ assumptionsΒ aboutΒ theΒ carryingΒ amountsΒ ofΒ assets andΒ liabilitiesΒ that areΒ notΒ apparentΒ fromΒ other sources.Β The estimatesΒ andΒ assumptionsΒ are basedΒ on historicalΒ experienceΒ and other factors,Β includingΒ expectationsΒ ofΒ futureΒ eventsΒ thatΒ areΒ believedΒ toΒ beΒ reasonableΒ underΒ theΒ circumstances. ActualΒ resultsΒ mayΒ differΒ fromΒ theseΒ estimates.
Β

OnΒ 13 July 2020 the Company undertook a sub-division of its ordinary shares, which sub divided the 487,690,380 0.1p ordinary shares of 0.1p each into 487,690,380 ordinary shares of 0.01p each and 487,690,380 0.09p deferred shares of 0.09p each. The 0.09p deferred shares of 0.09p each were consolidated into deferred shares of 0.9p each ranking pari passu as one class with the existing deferred shares of 0.9p each.
Β
On 14 July 2020, 937,500,000 ordinary shares of 0.01p each were issued under a placing at 0.08p each (at a premium of 0.07p per share) to raise Β£ 750,000 before costs of Β£ 66,863.
Β
In addition, on 14 July 2020 warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares of 0.01p were granted as follows:
Β
(a) Subscribers to the placing were granted warrants to subscribe for up to 937,500,000 shares for a period of two years, exercisable at 0.2p per share;
Β
(b) Peterhouse Capital Limited was granted warrants to subscribe for shares equivalent up to 3% of the issued ordinary share capital from time to time, exercisable for a period of two years, at 0.08p per share.
Β
Following the consolidation of ordinary shares in December 2020, the warrants have been adjusted and comprise placee warrants to subscribe for up to 93,750,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p at 2p per share, and the warrants held by Peterhouse Capital Limited are exercisable at 0.8p per share.
Β
In relation to the granting of these warrants to Peterhouse Capital Limited, these fall under the requirements of IAS 39 Financial Instruments and as such are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. At the grant date of these warrants these are valued using a Black Scholes model to determine the intrinsic value of the warrant and a liability is recognized for this amount with a corresponding expense through the income statement. The Directors' have concluded that the intrinsic value of the warrant as at 31 March 2021 is not material to the results and subsequent movements in the share price have decreased this value further. As such no accounting entries have been made to these results.
Β
Further on 14 July 2020 Β£ 600,000 of convertible loan notes were issued to Mr C C Johnson as part of arrangements to reorganise loans between him and the Group. The notes are repayable on 31 July 2022 and are convertible at any time into 300,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.01p at 0.2p per share. On conversion, warrants to subscribe for up to 300,000,000 ordinary shares will be granted to Mr C C Johnson exercisable for a period of two years from the date of grant at 0.2p per share. Following the consolidation of ordinary shares in December 2020, the loan notes have been adjusted and are convertible into 30,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p at 2p per share, with warrants to be granted to subscribe for up to 30,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p each at 2p per share, with warrants to be granted to subscribe for up to 30,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p each at 2p per share.
Β
The convertible loan notes have been accounted for as having both a debt and an equity element. This results in the creation of a loan note equity reserve at the point of issue. This loan note equity reserve is the difference between the loan note value received by the company of Β£ 600,000 and the fair value of a debt only instrument with a 10% imputed interest rate and a final settlement figure of Β£ 600,000 in July 2022. This 10% imputed interest rate is managements' best estimate as to the interest rate that would be expected from the market for an unsecured loan of Β£ 600,000 without a conversion element.

The Company has the right to purchase the deferred shares in issue at any time for no consideration.
Β
On 29 December 2020 for every ten of the 1,425,190,380 ordinary shares of 0.01p then in issue, were consolidated into one ordinary share of 0.1p resulting in there being 142,519,038 ordinary shares of 0.1p in issue.
