Richard Wollenberg, Chairman, commented:

"The Thames Valley commercial property market remains positive with renewed interest from businesses and large corporates wanting to locate around the M25 motorway. Following the government planning initiative, a number of existing office buildings are being converted to residential use and although this has reduced overall office supply, the availability of second hand office space is still a restraint on the market. There are shortages of high grade office space in certain locations which has supported an increase in rental levels. Despite the improved market conditions the continuing political and financial uncertainties in the UK and Europe remain a concern, and until these are resolved further growth in the Thames Valley commercial property market is expected to be limited.

The investment market continues to be buoyant. Low interest rates and the prospect of rental growth are very attractive to investors but recent stamp duty increases for commercial property will need to be absorbed.

Residential sales values in Surrey and Berkshire, the group's main area of operation have remained unchanged despite reduced volumes. We continue to receive a high level of letting enquiries with rents retaining previous year's increases."

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 31 MARCH 2016

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

The Thames Valley commercial property market remains positive with renewed interest from businesses and large corporates wanting to locate around the M25 motorway. Following the government planning initiative, a number of existing office buildings are being converted to residential use and although this has reduced overall office supply, the availability of second hand office space is still a restraint on the market. There are shortages of high grade office space in certain locations which has supported an increase in rental levels. Despite the improved market conditions the continuing political and financial uncertainties in the UK and Europe remain a concern and until these are resolved, further growth in the Thames Valley commercial property market is expected to be limited.

The investment market continues to be buoyant. Low interest rates and the prospect of rental growth are very attractive to investors but recent stamp duty increases for commercial property will need to be absorbed.

Residential sales values in Surrey and Berkshire, the group's main area of operation have remained unchanged despite reduced volumes. We continue to receive a high level of letting enquiries with rents retaining previous year's increases.

Financial

For the half year ending 31 March 2016 profit before tax amounted to GBP1.54m (March 2015: GBP0.57m; September 2015: GBP2.59m). This figure includes an after tax profit from Campmoss Property Company Limited, our 47.62% joint venture, of GBP1.29m (March 2015: GBP0.35m; September 2015: GBP1.92m). The figures for Campmoss are based on Financial Reporting Standard 101 (FRS 101).

Revenue for the six months to 31 March 2016 which represents gross rental income totalled GBP0.30m (March 2015: GBP0.30m; September 2015: GBP0.58m). The group's share of revenue from Campmoss was GBP1.84m (March 2015: GBP0.81m; September 2015: GBP1.70m) the latter was represented by gross rental income of GBP0.63m (March 2015: GBP0.55m; September 2015: GBP1.10m) and property sales, referred to in this report, of GBP1.21m (March 2015: GBP0.26m; September 2015: GBP0.60m). These latter figures are not included in group revenue.

Campmoss has exchanged contracts for the sale of Worplesdon View, Guildford for a cash consideration of GBP15.85m. Completion of the sale may take place at any time up to August 2017. As a result of this contract the accounting policy for Campmoss and the Company (as set out in note 1) has been expanded such that when the period between exchange and completion exceeds 120 days the sale is recognised on receipt of due notice rather than on exchange.

In view of the contracted sale at Worplesdon View and, reflecting an improvement in market values for similar investment property, the directors of Campmoss at 31 March 2016 increased the value of this property in the Campmoss portfolio to GBP13.0m (30 September 2015: GBP11.3m) an increase of GBP1.70m.

Due to the withdrawal of UK GAAP accounting the directors of Campmoss have decided to adopt FRS 101 and a reconciliation of the impact on the results of the joint venture for previous periods is provided in note 6.

Net assets of the group as at 31 March 2016 were GBP22.95m (March 2015: GBP19.94m; September 2015: GBP21.56m) equivalent to GBP17.93 per share (March 2015: GBP15.22; September 2015: GBP16.84). The company's share of net assets of Campmoss amounted to GBP12.45m (March 2015: GBP9.59m; September 2015: GBP11.16m).

Your directors are of the opinion that apart from the property at Worplesdon View held by Campmoss, there is no material change in the value of the group's property portfolio as at 31 March 2016.

During the 6 months to 31 March 2016 the company did not purchase any of its own shares (March 2015: nil; September 2015: 30,300) and other than as mentioned in this report there have been no material events or material changes in assets, liabilities or related party relationships since 30 September 2015.

Current IFRS accounting does not permit a deferred tax provision in respect of the company's investment in Campmoss. The investment in Campmoss is a substantial part of the company's net assets and, for indicative purposes only, a disposal of the investment based on the value in the company balance sheet at 31 March 2016, could generate a potential tax liability that would equate to GBP2.24m (March 2015: GBP1.82m; September 2015: GBP2.12m) equivalent to 175p per share (March 2015: 139p; September 2015: 163p). This information is provided to shareholders as an additional, non-statutory disclosure.

Dividend

Your directors have declared an interim dividend of 3.6p (March 2015: 3.5p; September 2015: 10.0p) an increase of 3% which will be paid on 7 July 2016 to shareholders on the register at 3 June 2016.

Investment and Development Portfolio

The group's freehold property portfolio includes offices, retail and industrial units, a care home and residential property primarily located close to the M25, M4 and M3 motorways and Heathrow airport within the counties of Surrey and Berkshire.

The office and retail investment at the White House, Egham comprising 5 ground floor retail units with offices above, is fully let on short and medium term leases. A number of these leases included yearly rental increases.

The Maidenhead Enterprise Centre, Maidenhead, comprises 6 business units totalling 14,000 sq ft. Each unit comprises offices on the first floor with industrial use on the ground floor. Five of the units are occupied by local businesses and let on either short or medium term leases. One unit has recently become vacant and following completion of dilapidation works is now available for letting.

At the Windsor Business Centre, Windsor, all four business units are let. Two existing tenants have recently signed new medium term leases at a small increase in rent. The remaining two units are let on short term leases.

At Cowbridge Road, Cardiff, the company retains a commercial property let on a medium term lease to the Royal Mail. The property is currently used as a Sorting Office and retail centre.

At Egham, Surrey, the company retains its own freehold office premises as well as a freehold residential property which is let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement.

At Tilehurst, Reading, plans are being prepared to submit an application for a residential development. This land is now under full ownership of the company following the lapse of a joint venture option.

Campmoss Property Company Limited

Campmoss continues with its extensive programme of re-development, letting and re-planning which has been challenging but successful over the past six months.

At Worplesdon View, Guildford, contracts have been exchanged for the sale, at a price of GBP15.85m, of the 78 bedroom care home let on a 35 year institutional lease with annualised RPI increases. Rental income will be received until completion which is expected to take place by August 2017. Following the sale Campmoss will continue to own an adjacent 2 acre site which, subject to planning may be available for other uses.

At Westview, Market Street, Bracknell the recently completed development of 8 retail units on ground and first floor are now all let on medium to long term leases.

Adjacent to Westview, demolition of the existing building has been completed and construction of Alston House, comprising 10 new retail units on ground and first floor has commenced. The development is expected to complete by the end of next year and a marketing strategy is currently in preparation.

Gowring House, Market Street, Bracknell, comprises 3 ground floor retail units all let on medium term leases. A change of use is currently being applied for on the first and second floors with a view to refurbishing for residential use. The upper 3 floors were previously converted into 18 one and two bedroom apartments of which 4 remain available for sale.

At Britannia Wharf, Woking, which comprises 4 floors of offices totalling 27,743 sq ft, negotiations are currently in hand regarding a change of use to either a care home or residential. The existing building is let on short term leases which are due to expire this year. Subject to the outcome of our planning discussions, development work is programmed to commence towards the beginning of next year.

Brickfields, Kiln Lane, Bracknell comprises 16 business units and an adjacent office unit. These are primarily occupied by local businesses on medium term leases. Three units have been sold in previous years, one unit was sold in the current period and one unit is currently available for sale or to let.

At Clivemont House and Highway House, Maidenhead, planning permission was previously granted for separate office schemes. In view of the uncertain local office market, commencement of the development has been placed on hold until a significant pre-letting is achieved. In the meantime discussions with the local authority for alternative uses are in progress.

The Priory, Burnham comprises a business centre and 2 adjacent floors of offices. The offices are let on short and medium terms leases. Part of the business centre is let to a number of local tenants on short term leases. Some smaller units are currently available.

Quoted Investments

The company retains a small equity and bond portfolio all listed on either the London Stock Exchange or AIM. The portfolio has achieved a small increase in value over the period under review.

Relationship Agreement

The company has entered into a written and legally binding relationship agreement with myself, its controlling shareholder, to address the requirements of LR9.2.2AR of the Listing Rules.

Outlook

The group is currently progressing new commercial and residential development projects in Bracknell and negotiating a number of planning applications as referred to in this report. Completion of the investment sale of Worplesdon View, Guildford is expected to take place during the current or next financial year.

Confidence in the commercial and residential property market is still evident and I therefore look forward to reporting to you further at the end of the financial year.

b) DTR 4.2.8R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the current financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or performance of the group during that period; and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last annual report that could do so.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 31 MARCH 2016

1. Basis of preparation

This condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.

The annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU. As required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the group's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2015.

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 30 September 2015 are not the group's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the group's auditor and delivered to the registrar of companies. The report of the auditor was: unqualified; did not give any reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report; and did not contain a statement under sections 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Campmoss Property Company Limited intend to adopt Financial Reporting Standard 101 (FRS 101) for statutory accounts purposes. A reconciliation of the effect of this transition from UK GAAP is set out in note 6.

Accounting policies

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared applying the accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of the group's published financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2015. With the exception that the accounting policy for investment properties has been expanded as follows:

Purchases and sales of investment properties are accounted for when exchanged contracts become unconditional, or in the event a notice to complete is required, on receipt of such notice where the notice period is a period of less than 120 days.

Whilst numerous other IFRSs and Interpretations have been endorsed in the period to 31 March 2016 and have been adopted by the group, none of them has had a material impact on these interim financial statements.

Use of estimates and judgement

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The key areas in which estimates have been used and the assumptions applied are in valuing investment properties and properties in the joint venture, in valuing available for sale assets, in classifying properties and in the calculating of provisions.

An external, independent valuer, having an appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of property being valued, values the company's property portfolio at the end of each financial year. The directors of the joint venture value its portfolio each year; such valuation takes into account yields on similar properties in the area, vacant space and covenant strength. The directors of the group and joint venture review the valuations for the interim financial statements.

A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Going concern

The group has sufficient financial resources to enable it to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, to complete the current maintenance and development program and meet its liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these interim financial statements.
