Notes to Editors:

 

Trafalgar Property Group Plc is the holding company of Trafalgar New Homes Limited, a residential property developer operating in the southeast of England and Trafalgar Retirement + Limited, a property developer in the assisted living and extra care for the elderly sector. The founders have a long track record of developing new and refurbished homes, principally in Kent.

 

The Company's focus is on the select acquisition of land for residential property development. The Company outsources all development activities, for example the obtaining of planning permission, design and construction, and uses fixed price build contracts, enabling it to tightly control its development and overhead costs.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT

 

I present the Company's Interim Results for the six month period to 30th September 2018. Revenue for the period was £1,780,000 and costs of sales was £1,717,000, giving a gross profit for the period of £63,000.

 

Administrative expenses for the period amounted to £307,000, up from £174,000 last year. The increase in expenses related to the additional costs incurred following the acquisition of Beaufort Homes Limited now known as Trafalgar Retirement + Limited (Traf +) which took place immediately prior to the 31st March 2018 year end and the funding of that Company during its development stage.

 

The result of the above is an operating loss for the period of £244,000.

 

As regards the Company's current development programme, during the period sales of the remaining two units at Edenbridge have been concluded and one of the houses at Hildenborough has been sold, leaving the remaining property available at £900,000.

 

At Burnside, Tunbridge Wells, a further apartment has been sold and another one is under offer, which should exchange shortly. We are confident that the remaining three units will sell prior to 31st March 2019.

 

The building of the executive detached house at Saxons, Speldhurst, Tunbridge Wells, has been completed and it is on the market for sale at £1.8 million. Whilst interest has been shown in this property by purchasers, no formal offers have been forthcoming as yet but it is hoped that the New Year will bring some positive news on the sale of this property.

 

At Sheerness, the six town houses are in the course of construction and steps are being taken to accelerate the build programme to ensure completion of the building of the project by the end of March. As these are 'first time buyer' houses and we are marketing them for sale with the benefit of Help to Buy funding, we are confident that sales will soon be achieved.

 

The Option has been extended on the Company's strategic site at Staplehurst, Kent to cover the period of time required to obtain planning permission for development of this site as an Assisted Living/Extra Care scheme. A formal planning application has been submitted for a consent to develop the site with 70 housing units, together with the communal 'hub' and ancillary facilities.

 

The Staplehurst site is an addition to the Assisted Living/Extra Care schemes currently being considered by Traf + which holds Purchase Options over properties to provide 277 units on five sites, subject to planning permission being granted. It has also agreed to purchase a further site with existing planning permission for an Assisted Living/Extra Care use for 37 units where there is the possibility of increasing the density.

 

Traf+ has also secured options over two properties for residential development,with ongoing negotiations to take Options to purchase a further three sites, subject to planning permission.

 

All the sites referred to under option are located in Surrey within the M25 corridor, the Traf + chosen area of operation, except for the Staplehurst site in Kent.

 

Funding for the purchase and development of both residential and extra care and assisted living developments continues to be explored and in this regard a memorandum of understanding with DIS Partners Holding Luxembourg S.a.r.l. was announced in April, where discussions and due diligence are ongoing. In addition, Trafalgar is progressing the issue of a bond, which is proposed to be traded on the NEX Exchange, to raise funds for development purposes and further details will be announced in due course.

 

The Company continues to receive development opportunities from its contacts, being local land consultants and agents and will take advantage of such opportunities as they present themselves and provided they are in the Company's chosen area of operation. Once the Company has generated funds from the sale of its existing properties, offers to purchase such sites will be made.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

For the period ended 30 September 2018

 

 

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

 

This financial information is for Trafalgar Property Group Plc ("the Company") and its subsidiary undertakings. The Company is incorporated in England and Wales.

 

 

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

The interim consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations adopted by the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. The interim financial information incorporates the results for the group for the six month period from 1 April 2018 to 30 September 2018. The results for the year ended 31 March 2018 have been extracted from the statutory financial statements for the Company for the year ended 31 March 2018. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the group for the year ended 31 March 2018.

 

The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been followed in these unaudited interim financial statements as those which were applied in the preparation of the group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018.

 

The interim consolidated financial information incorporates the financial statements of Trafalgar Property Group Plc and its subsidiaries.

 

The interim financial information for the six months ended 30 September 2018 was approved by the directors on 18th December 2018.

 

 

3. 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 that the principal activity of the Group was property development and there is considered to be one reportable segment, that of property development carried on in the UK. 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 consolidate statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of financial position and cash-flows.
