Half year results for the period ended
30 June 2021
Half year review
Our report for the six months to 30 June 2021 covers a period of significant
disruption for many of our tenants' businesses with a gradual return to more
normal activity. Despite the extension of Government's moratorium on enforcing
commercial rent payments, we are pleased to report rent collections from our
more community-orientated tenants reached 83% for the March quarter and for
the June quarter, to date, we have collected 70% even though a number of
tenants continue to pay monthly by agreement.
Revenue from property activities showed a modest increase in the period (£
0.3m), although the increase in Bisichi mining revenue (£9.3m) accounted for
most of the growth in Group revenue for this period. The Bisichi position is
discussed separately below, after a review of the core property business.
Group losses before tax at £0.9 million are an improvement on 2020 (Losses of £
2.9 million) and we continue with our efforts to improve performance.
Since reopening after lockdown all tenants apart from one are paying rent and
making progress on any arrears that have accumulated. We are in the process of
taking legal action against the non-paying tenant.
Of the current 4.6% of vacancies by rental income, one unit in Runcorn has now
been refurbished and is currently being marketed while another unit in
Sheffield is planned to be part of future development activities. These two
units comprise 2.9% of the total vacancies.
At Orchard Square, Sheffield our development activities are progressing well.
Construction of the food court, Sheffield Plate, is complete. Demand for units
from street food operators has been strong, with the opening scheduled for
September. This development will be managed by Market Asset Management, one of
the UK's foremost operators of food halls and will further position the
property as a mixed-use asset.
We have seen a small number of tenants go through administration or insolvency
during the period, but in all cases we have relet the units at similar rents to
the same brands, as they have come out of administration or restructuring.
We continue to progress our overhead cutting initiatives which commenced two
years ago. These are now providing positive cashflow and profitability
outcomes. As our central London office lease nears its end, we are looking to
reduce our cost base even further by operating from offices more suitable to
our restructured core activities.
During the period, we sold our retail property in Radcliffe for £1.8 million to
the council, against a December 2020 book value of £1.65 million. We are
continuing to manage the property, for a fixed fee over the next two years, as
we support the council with its regeneration of the town centre. £1.0 million
of the proceeds remain charged against a property loan facility.
In August, contracts were exchanged for the unconditional £2.35 million sale of
a large industrial unit in Runcorn against a December 2020 valuation of £2.5
million. This uncharged property was purchased for £1.6 million in 2018, with £
0.1 million net being spent on refurbishment.
The proceeds from these sales will be reinvested into the business to continue
our portfolio diversification strategy and we are examining suitable investment
opportunities.
As opportunities arise, we will dispose of other properties that do not meet
our core investment criteria. We are in discussions with interested parties on
a number of retail properties which will allow us to further move our portfolio
away from this sector.
At West Ealing, we are finalising the planning approval documents following
planning consent obtained in November 2020 for the development of 56 flats and
ground floor retail.
Within the next 12 months the 25-year £10 million, 8.109% Aviva debenture will
be refinanced. We are making preparations for this event which will provide us
with an opportunity to reduce our interest costs and further improve
profitability and cashflow.
During the period an extension of the Dragon Retail Properties loan with
Santander to October 2021 was secured. Santander offered terms for a further
loan and we are exploring available options for the refinancing.
Bisichi PLC, which is 42% owned, has seen an improvement in global economic
activity in the first half of 2021. During the period, this improvement had a
significant impact on demand for coal in the international market. In the first
six months of 2021, the average weekly price of Free on Board (FOB) coal from
Richard Bay Coal Terminal (API4 price) averaged US$97, compared to $67 in the
first six months of 2020, when demand for coal was particularly impacted by the
outbreak of Covid-19. This has had a positive impact on the Bisichi operations,
particularly the South African coal mining and processing operations. As a
result, in the six months ended 30 June 2021, Bisichi made a loss before tax of
£0.5 million (2020: loss of £1.9 million) from revenue of £23.6 million (2020:
£14.3 million).
Bisichi's results would have been even better if they had not encountered
difficult mining conditions at Black Wattle, the South African mining
operation, which impacted adversely coal production during the period.
Nonetheless, the mine achieved production of 553,000 metric tonnes compared to
580,000 metric tonnes in the first half of 2020. Black Wattle's operating costs
during the period were also impacted by the difficult mining conditions, as
well as the higher overall cost of mining of the remaining reserves at Black
Wattle's current mining area. This mainly accounts for the increase in
Bisichi's operating costs during the reported period.
Despite lower output from Black Wattle, at Sisonke Coal Processing, the South
African coal processing operation, Bisichi was able to take advantage of the
improved coal price by reducing stockpiles of coal that had built up during the
economic downturn of 2020. The overall increase in revenue and earnings during
the first half of the year is attributable mainly to the coal processing
operations.
Looking forward, Bisichi's overall mining production in the second half of 2021
is expected to remain at similar levels to the first half of the year. However,
plans are in place to move into a new mining area at Black Wattle by the end of
2021, where mining conditions and production are expected to improve. In the
interim, Bisichi will look to keep costs as low as possible while developing
new opportunities for Sisonke Coal Processing, to take advantage of the
improved coal market conditions seen in 2021 to date. In addition, Bisichi
continues to work closely with their BEE partner in South Africa, to seek
further opportunities to extend the life of the existing mining operations or
to develop new independent mining operations in South Africa.
We are not paying a dividend for the half year. Our strategy is to maximise
income over the medium term by moving the emphasis away from retail, replacing
high cost finance and judicious cost cutting. This is beginning to show results
and our dividend policy will reflect this, once our cash has been reinvested
and our income has returned to previous levels.
While this has been a difficult period, we are beginning to see the light at
the end of the tunnel. As we have stated, rent collection is improving strongly
and we are making real progress in diversifying our portfolio into non-retail
areas. At the same time great strides have been made, and are continuing to be
made, in reducing our cost base and returning to profitability. We believe the
actions we have taken place LAP in the right position to take full advantage of
improved market conditions as the economy strengthens. Therefore, we view the
future with increasing confidence.

5. Properties
Investment properties are held a fair value at each reporting period.
During the period one property was sold for a gross sales value of £1.8
million. This property was valued at £1.65 million at 31 December 2020 and
after costs there was a profit on sale of £0.1 million.
Management evaluate on an ongoing basis the impact of Covid-19 and the current
economic performance of the UK property market on the future performance of the
group's existing UK property portfolio. The Board considers the final impact of
Covid-19 on the investment properties to remain uncertain. However, the
Directors have placed a valuation on the properties which is not materially
different to the value as at 31 December 2020. Therefore, no change in fair
value of investment properties has been made during the period. Investment
properties are therefore included at a Director's valuation which is considered
to be the fair value as at 30 June 2021. Please refer to page 43 of the 2020
Annual report and Accounts for details on the valuation of investment and

7. Related party transactions
The related parties and the nature of costs recharged are as disclosed in the
group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
8. Dividends
There is no interim dividend payable for the period (30 June 2020: Nil).
There is no final dividend payable in respect of 2020.
9. Risks and uncertainties
The group's principal risks and uncertainties are reported on pages 10 and 11
in the 2020 Annual Report. They have been reviewed by the Directors and remain
unchanged for the current period.
The largest area of estimation and uncertainty in the interim financial
statements is in respect of the valuation of investment properties (which are
not revalued at the half year)..
For Bisichi PLC, the largest area of estimation relates to currency movements
and coal mining activities in South Africa, including depreciation, impairment
and the provision for rehabilitation (relating to environmental rehabilitation
of mining areas).
Property, plant and equipment representing Bisichi's mining assets in South
Africa are reviewed for impairment where there is evidence of a material
impairment. The impairment test indicated significant headroom as at 31
December 2020 and no impairment was considered appropriate. Although the final
impact of Covid-19 remains uncertain, the directors of Bisichi have assessed
the expected range of impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on its impairment model
using similar key assumptions and estimates as outlined on page 60 of the 2020
Annual report and Accounts, and no impairment was considered appropriate as at
30 June 2021.
Other areas of estimation and uncertainly are referred to in the Group's annual
financial statements. There have been no significant changes to the basis of
accounting of key estimates and judgements as disclosed in the annual report as
at 31 December 2020.
10. Financial
information
The above financial information does not constitute statutory accounts within
the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The figures for the year
ended 31 December 2020 are based upon the latest statutory accounts, which have
been delivered to the Registrar of Companies; the report of the auditor on
those accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section
498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
As required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial
Conduct Authority, the interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in
accordance with both IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and in conformity
with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies
reporting under IFRS and the disclosure requirements of the Listing Rules.
The half year results have not been audited or subject to review by the
company's auditor.
The annual financial statements of London & Associated Properties PLC are
prepared in accordance with IFRS and in conformity with the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. the company
has applied UK-adopted IAS and at the date of application, both UK-adopted IAS
and EU-adopted IFRS are the same. The same accounting policies are used for the
six months ended 30 June 2021 as were used for the year ended 31 December 2020.
As stated in the 2020 Annual Report in the group accounting policies, Bisichi
PLC and Dragon Retail Properties Limited are consolidated with LAP, as required
by IFRS 10.
The assessment of new standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not
effective, is that these are not anticipated to have a material impact on the
financial statements.
The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
Although the final impact of Covid-19 on both our UK and South African
operations remains uncertain and an estimate of the overall financial effect
cannot be made, the Directors have assessed the range of expected impact of the
pandemic on its cashflow forecasts. The forecasts demonstrate that the group
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future and is well placed to manage its business risks.

Properties PLC on 31 August
2021.
