("Trafalgar", the "Company" or "Group")

 Final Results for the year ended 31 March 2020 and notice of Annual General Meeting

Trafalgar (AIM: TRAF), the AIM quoted residential property developer operating in southeast England, announces its final results for the twelve months ended 31 March 2020.

The Company's Annual Report is being posted to shareholders today and contains notice of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held at the Company's offices at Chequers Barn, Bough Beech, Edenbridge, Kent TN8 7PD at 11.00 a.m. on Tuesday 27th October 2020.

Enquiries:

On behalf of the Board, I present Trafalgar Property Group Plc (the Group), results for the year ended 31 March 2020 which includes two property sales and a car park space sale completed in the year. The overall result was disappointing, as can be seen in the attached Accounts and Strategic Report, although an improvement on the previous year's loss. We are continuing to search for profitable sites for planning gains and development possibilities.

Financials

The year under review saw the Group turnover at £1,970,106 (2019: £2,128,189), with a loss after tax of £1,022,898 (2019: Loss £2,296,422), after taking into account exceptional items as detailed in note 20 to the accounts.

Management have performed a review of the assets and liabilities of the underlying subsidiaries which form the value of the anticipated profits on ongoing developments. In addition, the value of land options in TR+ have been re-assessed. At the time of approval of the financial statements there is no confirmed planning permission on these land options.

Due to the uncertainties and timing of developments it has been agreed by management not to include any future anticipated profits of developments in their assessment. Therefore, the net asset value of the underlying investments and inventory does not support the Group's carrying value of investments in the subsidiaries.

Management have concluded that an impairment of the investments is prudent and that these will be written down to zero, resulting in an exceptional charge of £595,452 (2019: £1,559,319).

The cash on the balance sheet at the end of the year was £27,969 (2019: £32,800) and the Group continues to have sufficient bank facilities for all planned activities.

In July 2020 we completed a share issue raising £750,000 of cash, before expenses, which provides additional cash reserves for our planned activities.

Business Environment and Outlook

Our recent move into the assisted living sector has not proved to be a success so we are now concentrating on our core activity of property development for residential homes and apartments.

On 27 May, 2019 Chris Johnson and his son Alex Johnson stepped down from the Group Board, although they remain involved as Directors of subsidiaries. On the same day, Paul Treadaway was appointed as the new Group Managing Director which strengthens the Board with his particular expertise in the sector for assisted living developments as well as conventional property developments. This retains a good balance of complementary skills on the Board. We are currently progressing offers of finance alongside our planning applications so that we should be well placed to commence our developments as soon as planning permits.

The effects of the Covid 19 pandemic have affected our business since March as sales of completed units have been delayed by some months. Fortunately we had completed the construction phase of these units although there have also been delays to the obtaining of planning permission for other potential new sites. Like most businesses, we are aware of our need to conduct ourselves carefully to preserve the health of our staff and customers.

I would refer you to the Strategic Report that covers our activities in more detail.

STRATEGIC REPORT

for the year ended 31 March 2020

Business review, results and dividends

All trading and property assets of Trafalgar Property Group Plc (Group) are held in the name of the Group or its subsidiaries as follows:

Trafalgar New Homes Limited (TNH)

Trafalgar Retirement+ Limited (TR+)

Selmat Limited - acquired April 2019 (Selmat)

Combe Bank Homes (Oakhurst) Limited (Oakhurst)

Combe Homes (Borough Green) Limited (Borough Green)

All bank and mortgage borrowings are the liability of TNH, the wholly owned subsidiary of the Group, apart from the mortgages on the four properties held by Selmat. The shares of the Group are quoted on the London Stock Exchange AIM market.

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 £1,022,898 (2019: Loss £ 2,296,422) after taking into account exceptional items as mentioned in note 20 to the accounts.

Principal risks & uncertainties

Set out below are certain risk factors which could have an impact on the Group's long-term performance. The factors discussed below should not be regarded as a complete and comprehensive statement of all potential risks and uncertainties facing the Group.

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group are:

The Group considers that it mitigates these risks with the following policies and actions:

have substantial experience of the house building industry, potential construction issues and the local market.

The Group focuses on a niche market sector of new home developments in the range of four to twenty units. Within this unit size, competition to purchase development sites from land buyers is relatively weak, as this size is unattractive to major national and regional house builders who require a larger scale to justify their administration and overheads, whilst being too many units for the smaller independent builder to finance or undertake as a project. Within this market, there are opportunities to negotiate land acquisitions on favourable terms. Many competitors who also focus on this niche have yet to recapitalise and are unable to raise finance.

Operations review

A summary of the results for the year is as follows:-

2020 2019

£ £

Restated

Revenue for the year 1,970,106 2,128,189

Gross profit/(loss) 154,068 (264,171)

Loss after taxation (1,022,898) (2,296,422)

Group turnover for the year amounted to £1,970,106 (2019: £2,128,189), representing the sale of two (2019: five) residential properties plus a car park space. During the first six months to 30 September, 2019 the Group reclassified four properties from Trading Stock to Investment Property. These were assessed to be at fair market value and transferred to a newly acquired investment company. In the interim accounts this was recorded on the face of the profit and loss account as turnover and cost of sales at no profit. As part of the year-end audit process the treatment of this transaction has been amended and removed from turnover and cost of sales in the Group accounts and shown instead as an inter-group transfer. This adjustment has had no effect on profit or cashflow.

After taking into account the overheads of the Group, there was a loss recorded for the year of £1,022,898 after exceptional items as detailed in note 20.

There will be no tax charge and the Company now has tax losses being carried forward of £4,381,991

 (2019: losses £3,364,609).

The loss per share during the year was (0.21p), (2019: loss per share 0.54p).

As can be seen from the above , the Group failed to achieve a profit for the year under review and, as at the year end, all remaining residential units have been sold being the executive house at Saxons, the sale of an option in Ewell and the remaining car park space at Borough Green site. Going forward five of a total of six units at the Sheerness Site are, as at the date of this report, all under offer with further options opportunities being explored.

Directors' duties under S172

The Directors believe that, individually and together, they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole, having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in s172(1)(a-f) of the companies Act 2006 in the decisions taken during the year ended 31 March 2020.

Our Board of Directors remain aware of their responsibilities both within and outside of the Group. Within the limitations of a Group with so few employees we endeavour to follow these principles:

Key performance indicators (KPIs)

Management are closely involved in the day to day operations of the Group and are very aware of cashflows and expenditure. However, Management believe that the key indicators of performance for the Group are the revenue and profitability achieved during the period. These measures are disclosed above in the operations review.

Development Pipeline & outlook

The year under review was not without its difficulties. In the residential division delays occurred on the building programme for the various properties that were still in the course of construction, or being finished off, with contractors appointed to complete the works but unable to follow the timetable laid down for completion of those works.

The delays lead to escalating interest costs on borrowing and therefore affected the profitability of the completed units that were for sale, on the disposal of the same.

During the year under review, Selmat was acquired to enable the retention of selected unsold properties rather than selling them into a declining market. Four properties were transferred as an intergroup transaction and let out on Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements, the rental income generated being substantially in excess of the borrowing cost of each property. Currently the Group holds these four rented properties, valued at £1,975,000 as investment property.

During the year work has continued on the 6 town house site at Sheerness, Kent where, again, contractor difficulties were experienced with the appointed contractor ceasing work on site resulting in the Group having to appoint an alternative contractor to complete the works. Work on site has been completed and five of these properties are under offer, under the Government's Help To Buy Scheme.

Whilst TR+ continue to identify and secure new land opportunities for extra/care and assisted living, they are equally focused on obtaining a successful outcome on the sites currently under option and/or in for planning. Once planning has been achieved then the sites can be built out and placed for sale on the open market, or in the case of the smaller residential schemes, sold on with planning, both options being profitable to the business. Options have been secured for residential development in Ashtead, Epsom, Leatherhead and Send Surrey. Of these sites, Ashtead and Epsom were sold on once planning permission had been granted to show a profit in the current year. It is our intention to develop the Leatherhead and Send sites once planning is granted.

During the year TR+ entered into a guarantee agreement for £240,000 for funds supplied by Mr C Johnson, being a deposit forfeited by Randell House Ltd, a subsidiary of TR+. This is related to the acquisition of an assisted living site in Camberley Surrey, where the acquisition was not completed owing to a lack of funding. Since then, Randell House Ltd has been dissolved on 22 September, 2020.

Statement of directors' responsibilities

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with EU adopted IFRS and the Company financial statements in accordance with FRS 102 and applicable law. Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

They are further responsible for ensuring that the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors and other information included in the Annual Report and Financial Statements is prepared in accordance with applicable law in the United Kingdom.

The maintenance and integrity of the Group website is the responsibility of the Directors; the work carried out by the auditors does not involve the consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility or any changes that may have occurred in the accounts since they were initially presented on the website.

Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the accounts and the other information included in annual reports may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Corporate Governance Statement

The Board of the Group recognise the value of good corporate governance and has through the year ended 31 March 2020 implemented corporate governance procedures appropriate for the present size of the entity having given due regard to the Corporate Governance Code for Small and Mid-Size Quoted Companies issued by the Quoted Companies Alliance ("QCA"). In accordance with AIM Rule 26 as amended, the Company has decided to apply the QCA Corporate Governance Code ("QCA Code") issued by the QCA in May 2018 and has published on its website details of the QCA Code, how the Company has complied with the QCA Code and, where it departs from the QCA Code, an explanation of the reasons for doing so.

Board Structure

The Board consists of three Directors of which one is executive and two non-executive, all of whom hold shares in the Group.

The Board meets as and when required and is satisfied that it is provided with information in an appropriate form and quality to enable it to discharge its duties. All Directors are required to retire by rotation with one third of the board seeking re-election each year.

Due to the current size of the Group, the duties that would normally be attributed to The Nomination Committee, have been undertaken by the board as a whole.

The board has undertaken a formal assessment of the auditor's independence and will continue to do so at least annually. This assessment includes:

Internal Controls

The Board is responsible for the Group's system of internal controls and for reviewing their effectiveness. The internal controls are designed to ensure the reliability of financial information for both internal and external purposes. The Directors are satisfied that the current controls are effective with regard to the size of the Group. Any internal control system can only provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance against material mis-statement or loss. Given the size of the Group, the Board has assessed that there is currently no need for an internal audit function.

Financial Instruments

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash at bank, bank loans, other loans and various items within current assets and current liabilities that arise directly from its operations. The Directors consider that the key financial risk is liquidity. This risk is explained in the section headed 'Principal risks and uncertainties' in the Annual Report and Accounts on page 5.

Information relating to the financial instruments is now included in the Strategic Report on pages 5-8.

Future Developments

Information relating to future developments is included in the Strategic Report on pages 5-8.

1. Our Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Trafalgar Property Group plc (the parent) and its subsidiaries (the group) for the year ended 31 March 2020.

· Group and company statement of cashflows

· Notes of the financial statements, including the accounting policies.

The financial reporting framework of the group that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the parent company financial statements is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion:

· the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 March 2020 and the Group's loss for the year then ended;

· the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union;

· the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

· the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006; as regards the group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation.

2. Basis for opinion

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 and the parent company 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.

3. Material uncertainty regarding going concern

We draw your attention to note 3 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 that 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.

Overview

4. 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 listed 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.

5. Our application of materiality

Our definition of materiality considers the value of error or omission in the financial statements that would change or influence the economic decision of a reasonably knowledgeable person. Materiality is used in planning the scope of our work, executing that work and evaluating the results.

Materiality in respect of the group was set at £68K and for the parent company was £7K which was determined based on 2% of gross assets.

6. An overview of the scope of our audit

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 Homes (Oakhurst) Limited, Combe Homes (Borough Green) Ltd and Selma Limited. The significant components were subjected to full scope audits for the purposes of our audit report on the group financial statements.

7. We have nothing to report on the other information in the Annual Report 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion of 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

· the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

· the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

8. Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the 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.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires is to report to you if, in our opinion:

· adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

· the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

· certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

· we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

9. 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.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

10. 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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: [website link]. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

11. 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.

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 29 September, 2020 and are signed on its behalf by:

P Treadaway: ………………………………………. J Dubois: ……………………………………………

The notes on pages 21 to 37 are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITY

As at 31 March 2020

Re

The reverse acquisition reserve was created in accordance with IFRS3 'Business Combinations'. The reserve arises due to the elimination of the Company's investment in TNH (formerly Combe Bank Homes Limited). Since the shareholders of TNH became the majority shareholders of the enlarged group, the acquisition is accounted for as though there is a continuation of the legal subsidiary's financial statements. In reverse acquisition accounting, the business combination's costs are deemed to have been incurred by the legal subsidiary. Retained profit/(losses) relate to the profits/ losses earned by the business that have not been distributed and have built up over the years of trading.

For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statement of the Group, share capital represents the nominal value of the issued share capital of 0.1p per share (2018: 0.1p per share). Share premium represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value consideration received for equity shares net of expenses plus deferred shares of 0.9p after issued share capital of 1p.

On 31 May 2019 62,500,000 additional shares were issued being ordinary 0.01p shares and 0.03p premium shares. The notes on pages 21 to 37 are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Trafalgar Property Group Plc

GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICIESFor the year ended 31 March 2020

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

These financial statements are for Trafalgar Property Group Plc ("the Company") and its subsidiary undertakings ('the Group'). The Company is a public company, limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. (company number is 04340125). The Company's registered office is Chequers Barn, Bough Beech, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8 7PD.

The nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are set out in the Strategic Report on page 5.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Group financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations adopted by the European Union ("EU") and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. These financial statements are for the year ended 31 March 2020 and are presented in pounds sterling ("GBP"). The comparative year is for the year to 31 March 2019.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

GOING CONCERN

The Directors have reviewed forecasts and budgets for the coming year, which have been drawn up with appropriate regard for the current economic environment and the particular circumstances in which the Group operates. These were prepared with reference to historical and current industry knowledge, taking into account future strategy of the Group.

The Group continues to utilise banking sources for the financing of its developments, together with loans from third party investors, to ensure that there is sufficient money available for the Group to undertake and complete its various developments.

The Group do not operate an overdraft facility but borrow on a site specific basis from various bankers, with a mix of loans from outside investors geared to some of the development properties and otherwise loaned on a general basis to the Group.

The Board is comfortable with the structure of its bank finance, which usually involves the bank lending a modest sum towards the land purchase for the modest sized residential development schemes, with the Group putting up the rest of the funds required to acquire the site and the costs associated with the acquisition and then for the bank to provide 100% of the build finance. However, difficulties have been experienced in the raising of finance for the substantial larger extra care/assisted living schemes which the Group wishes to undertake and the Group is accordingly actively seeking the finance for such developments at the present time.

Investor loans that are not related to specific sites are long term loans with repayment dates extending beyond the year end and have, in the past, been renewed when they come up for repayment.

The existing operations have been generating funds to meet short-term operating cash requirements and management are confident that the expected sales will allow the Group to meet loan repayments due within the next twelve months or that the loans will be refinanced.

As a result of these considerations, at the time of approving the financial statements, the Directors consider that the Company and the Group have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

However given that a degree of uncertainty exists in the timing of future sales, and management's ability to refinance all loans due in the next twelve months, there exists a material uncertainty in relation to the going concern basis adopted in the preparation of the financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue represents the amounts receivable from the sale of properties during the year and other income directly associated with property development. Revenue from the sale of properties is recognised when the amounts of revenue and cost can be measured reliably, the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, neither continuing managerial involvement nor effective control of the property is retained and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the sale will flow to the Group/company. In the majority of cases properties are treated as sold and profits are recognised at the point of legal completion.

The Directors are of the opinion that this accounting policy accurately reflects commercial reality and the recording of revenue for the Group.

STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries.

The results of subsidiaries acquired during the year are included from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control. They are deconsolidated on the date that control ceases.

The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. This fair value includes any contingent consideration. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Control is achieved when the Group:

- has the power over the investee;

- is exposed or his rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

- has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (£), which is the Company's functional and the Group's presentation currency.

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN

The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payments obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds

The Company recognises financial instruments when it becomes a party to the contractual arrangements of the instrument. Financial instruments are de-recognised when they are discharged or when the contractual term expire. The Company's accounting policies in respect of financial instruments transactions are explained below:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.

Financial assets:

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either fair value or amortised cost, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Fair value through profit or loss

All of the Company's financial assets other than those which meet the criteria to be measured at amortised cost are subsequently measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses being recognised in profit or loss to the extent they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.

Debt instruments at amortised cost

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost where they are financial assets held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Amortised cost is calculated using the effective interest method and represents the amount measured at initial recognition less repayments of principal plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance.

Trade payables

Trade payables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Shares issued are held at their fair value.

Share capital

Ordinary share capital is classified as equity. Interim ordinary dividends are recognised when paid and final ordinary dividends are recognised as a liability in the year in which they are approved.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) on investments in debt instruments that are measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI, lease receivables, amounts due from customers under construction contracts, as well as on loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. No impairment loss is recognised for investments in equity instruments. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.

The Company recognises lifetime ECL on all financial instruments where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increase in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition instead of on evidence of a financial asset being credit-impaired at the reporting date or an actual default occurring.

Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contract, 12 month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased, the following shall be taken into account:

- Actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument's external or internal credit rating; or

- Significant deterioration in external market conditions; or

- Existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that will impact the debtor's ability to meet debt obligations; or

- Actual or expected deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; or

- Actual or expected significant adverse changes in the regulatory or technological environment of the debtor that will impact the debtor's ability to meet debt obligations.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Company's past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 30 days, as well as observable changes in the national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

Financial liabilities:

Fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss, when the financial liability is held for trading, or is designated as at fair value through profit or loss. This designation may be made if such designation estimates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise, or the financial liability forms part of a group of financial instruments which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, or the financial liability forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IFRS 9 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship.

At amortised cost

Financial liabilities which are neither contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, held for trading, nor designated as at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or where appropriate a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and deposits held at call with banks with maturities of three months or less from inception.

INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of properties under construction and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Interest on sums borrowed that finance specific projects is added to cost. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost less estimated residual value of all tangible fixed assets using the reducing balance method over their expected useful economic lives. The rates generally applicable are:

Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 25% on reducing balance

INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes), is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise."

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

BORROWING COSTS

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that take a substantial period of time to be completed for sale, are added to the cost of property held as stock at the year end. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they relate.

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and the tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, by the reporting date.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income.

PROVISIONS

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments and contingent liabilities are disclosed in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is virtually certain.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION AND UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS as adopted by the EU requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Group financial statements are disclosed below.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the present circumstances.

Valuation of Inventory

The Group assesses the net realisable value of inventories under development and completed properties held for sale according to their recoverable amounts based on the realisability of these properties, taking into account estimated costs to completion based on past experience and committed contracts and estimated net sales based on prevailing market conditions. Provision is made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be realised. The carrying value is reduced by its selling price less costs to complete and sell. This impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The assessment requires the use of judgment and estimates. The carrying amount of inventory is disclosed in note 12 to the financial statements.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

The recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is more likely than not that sufficient and suitable taxable profits will be available in the future against which the reversal of temporary differences can be deducted. To determine the future taxable profits, reference is made to the latest available profit forecasts. Where the temporary differences are related to losses, relevant tax law is considered to determine the availability of the losses to offset against the future taxable profits.

Impairment of non financial assets

At each statement of financial position date the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets with finite lives to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is land or buildings at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

1  SEGMENTAL REPORTING

For the purpose of IFRS 8, the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") takes the form of the Board of Directors. The Directors' opinion of the business of the Group is as follows.

The principal activity of the Group was property development. All the Group's non-current assets are located in the UK.

Based on the above considerations, there is considered to be one reportable segment. The internal and external reporting is on a consolidated basis with transactions between Group companies eliminated on consolidation. Therefore the financial information of the single segment is the same as that set out in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of financial position and cashflows.

Consultancy fees of £ 4,994 (2019: £4,994) were paid to Mr N Lott during the year. 

5 INTEREST PAYABLE AND SIMILAR CHARGES

During the year the mortgage interest paid on borrowings relating to ongoing developments was capitalised as part of inventory £ 10,102 (2019: £ 183,217) with the interest on properties sold in the year forming part of cost of sales and transferred to profit & loss accordingly.

For sites where the construction had been completed, the mortgage interest paid of £ 118,177 (2019: £145,434) has been accounted for in the profit & loss within cost of sales together with an impairment provision of £ nil (2019: £126,661) on account of the reduction of likely selling prices being achieved since the year end.

6 TAXATION

Deferred tax

No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of historical losses due to the uncertainty in future profits against which to offset these losses. As at the 31 March 2020, the Group had cumulative tax losses of  £4,381,991 (2019: £3,364,609) that are available to offset against future taxable profits.

7 (LOSS) PER ORDINARY SHARE

The calculation of (loss)/profit per ordinary share is based on the following profits/(losses) and number of shares:

8 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

10 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

There are no receivables that are past due but not impaired at the year-end. There are no provisions for irrecoverable debt included in the balances above.

11 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

All of the Group's cash and cash equivalents at 31 March 2020 are in sterling and held at floating interest rates.

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates to their fair value.

12  INVENTORY

See note 5 for details of interest capitalised as part of the value of inventory.

13 TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

14 BORROWINGS

Included in Directors' loans is the sum of £ 300,000 (2019: £300,000) advanced by the DFM Pension Scheme of which Mr J Dubois is the principal beneficiary. This loan bears interest at 12% per annum (2019: 12% per annum).

19 CATEGORIES OF Financial instruments

All financial instruments are measured under IFRS 9 at amortised cost.

Capital risk management

The Group considers its capital to comprise its share capital and share premium. The Group's capital management objectives are to safeguard the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.

Significant Accounting Policies

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed on pages 21 to 27 to these financial statements.

Foreign currency risk

The Group has minimal exposure to the differing types of foreign currency risk. It has no foreign currency denominated monetary assets or liabilities and does not make sales or purchases from overseas countries.

Interest rate risk

The Group is sensitive to changes in interest rates principally on the loans from Lloyds Bank, where interest is charged on a variable rate basis. The Paragon mortgages are based on a fixed rate for the first 5 years of the 7 year term.

The impact of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates on these loans would result in additional interest cost for the year of £ 14,794 (2019: £25,025).

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter-party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.

Liquidity risk management

This is the risk of the Group not being able to continue to operate as a going concern.

The Directors have, after careful consideration of the factors set out above, concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements and the financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the going concern basis was not appropriate.

Derivative financial instruments

The Group does not currently use derivative financial instruments as hedging is not considered necessary. Should the Group identify a requirement for the future use of such financial instruments, a comprehensive set of policies and systems as approved by the Directors will be implemented.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Nature of operations

Trafalgar Property Group Plc ("the Company") is the UK holding company of a group of companies which are engaged in property development. The Company is registered in England and Wales. Its registered office and principal place of business is Chequers Barn, Bough Beech, Edenbridge, Kent TN8 7PD.

2 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law, FRS 102 and accounting standards. The principal accounting policies are described below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the year and preceding year.

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income to these financial statements.

The Company has taken advantage of the disclosure exemption from the requirements of section 7 Statement of Cashflow, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) GOING CONCERN

The Directors have reviewed forecasts and budgets for the coming year, which have been drawn up with appropriate regard for the current economic environment and the particular circumstances in which the Company operates. These were prepared with reference to historical and current industry knowledge, taking into account future strategy of the Company and wider Group.

The existing operations have been generating funds to meet short-term operating cash requirements. As a result of these considerations, at the time of approving the financial statements, the Directors consider that the Company and the Group have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. It is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

As with all business forecasts, the Directors' statement cannot guarantee that the going concern basis will remain appropriate given the inherent uncertainty about the future events.

(b) INVESTMENTS

Investments held as fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for impairment.

(c) TAXATION

Current tax, including UK corporation tax and foreign tax, is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in years different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements.

A deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised only when, on the basis of all available evidence, it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.

(d) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the statements of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

The Company's financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus any directly attributable

transaction costs. The carrying value of the Company's financial assets, primarily cash and bank balances, and liabilities, primarily the Company's payables and other accrued expenses, approximate to their fair values.

(i) Financial assets

On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables financial assets, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables (including deposits and prepayments) that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as other receivables, deposits, and prepayments. Other receivables, deposits, and prepayments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities comprise long-term borrowings, short-term borrowings, trade and other payables and accruals, measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date that have a significant risk of causing a significant adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements:

Carrying value of investments in subsidiaries and intercompany

Management's assessment for impairment of investment in subsidiaries is based on the estimation of value in use of the subsidiary by forecasting the expected future cash flows expected on each development project. The value of the investment in subsidiaries is based on the subsidiaries being able to realise their cash flow projections.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

The recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is more likely than not that sufficient and suitable taxable profits will be available in the future against which the reversal of temporary differences can be deducted. To determine the future taxable profits, reference is made to the latest available profit forecasts. Where the temporary differences are related to losses, relevant tax law is considered to determine the availability of the losses to offset against the future taxable profits.

5 LOSS FOR FINANCIAL PERIOD

The Company has taken advantage of section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and, consequently, a profit and loss account for the Company alone has not been presented. The Company's loss for the financial period was  £135,165 (2019: Loss £2,531,344). The Company's loss for the financial year has been arrived at after charging auditor's remuneration payable to MHA MacIntyre Hudson for audit services to the Company of £10,000 (2019: £10,000) and an impairment adjustment of £ nil (2019: £ 2,354,732) - see note 8.

6 EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION

The average number of employees of the Company during the year was:

There are no retirement benefits accruing to any of the Directors.

£ 4,994 (2019: £4,994) was paid to Mr Norman Lott for his professional services.

Additional directors remuneration of £ 45,000 (2019: £60,000) was paid to a director through subsidiary entities.

7 INVESTMENTS

The company owns the following undertakings, all of which are incorporated in the United Kingdom and have their registered offices at Chequers Barn, Chequers Hill, Bough Beech, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8 7PD.

8 IMPAIRMENT

The investment carried in the Plc entity financial statements reflects the entity's control over TNH, Oakhurst and Borough Green, TR+ and Selmat.

There has been minimal trading in Oakhurst and Borough Green and both entities now hold no inventory.

Development continues in TNH and there have been sales of two properties in the year and the transfer of four properties to Selmat, however due to the factors laid out in the Operations review, there has been some erosion of the margins that had been anticipated at the start of the year.

Management have performed a review of the assets and liabilities of the underlying subsidiaries which form the value of the investment.

In performing this assessment TR+ have been re-assessed. At the time of approval of the financial statements there is no confirmed planning permission on these land options.

Where the 'real' net asset value is in excess of the carrying value of the investment in the Plc entity statement of financial position, there is no indication of impairment.

Due to the uncertainties and timing of developments it has been agreed by management not to include any future anticipated profits of developments in their assessment. Therefore the net asset value of the underlying investments does not support the Group's carrying value of investments in TNH, Oakhurst, Borough Green and TR+.

Management have concluded that an impairment of the investments is prudent and that these will be written down to zero.
