Notes to Editors:
Trafalgar New Homes is the holding company of Combe Bank Homes,
a successful residential property developer operating in the

track record of developing new and refurbished homes, principally
in Kent.
The Company's focus is on the select acquisition of land for

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 am pleased to present the Company's Interim Results for the
six month period ending 30(th) September 2017.
There being no sales and no gross profit, the loss reflects the
application of the overheads for the period.
The Company has continued with its development of the five sites
under construction during the period and I am pleased to report
that building work is now fully complete on three of these sites:
Edenbridge (3 terrace houses); Hildenborough (two substantial
detached houses); and Burnside, Tunbridge Wells (six
apartments).
Marketing for the sale of the units at Edenbridge and
Hildenborough has recently commenced and two of the houses are
under offer at Edenbridge, with interest being shown in the houses
at Hildenborough.
The Tunbridge Wells apartments will be offered for sale
immediately after the Christmas period.
Build work is 70% complete on the executive detached house at
Speldhurst, Tunbridge Wells which is anticipated to complete by end
February 2018.
At Sheerness, the six townhouses are currently being roofed in,
with completion of the build scheduled for Spring 2018.
It is anticipated that sites at Edenbridge and Hildenborough
will contribute to turnover for the year ended 31(st) March 2018,
together with a number of the units at Burnside, Tunbridge
Wells.
For the financial year ending 31(st) March 2018, the Company
expects profit contributions from sales at the Edenbridge,
Hildenborough and Burnside sites, with the sale of the units being
developed at Speldhurst and Sheerness contributing to turnover and
profit for the year ended 31(st) March 2019.
The strategic site at Staplehurst under option to the Company
remains an opportunity and the planning focus is now on achieving
planning permission for an Extra Care/Assisted Living Scheme on the
site. A formal planning application will be made in the near
future.
Demand for new housing in the South East remains strong and
continues to benefit from the Government's help to buy scheme.
While the uncertainty over the UK's future relationship with the EU
may impact parts of the market, we believe that the pressure to
increase housing stock in the South East is likely to open up
opportunities to bring strategic land through the planning process.
Areas without an up to date local plan or with insufficient land
supply offer the greatest potential. With the support of the range
of measures to encourage house building set out in the recent
budget, the Company is seeking to take advantage of the
opportunities that present themselves.
The Company continues to consider development opportunities in
its chosen area of operation, to further its residential
development activity. The Company also continues to look for
corporate opportunities to grow the Company and its development
portfolio and is currently in discussions on a potential
opportunity and we will report further should this progress.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the period ended 30 September 2017
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This financial information is for Trafalgar New Homes 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 2017 to 30
September 2017. The results for the year ended 31 March 2017 have
been extracted from the statutory financial statements for the
Company for the year ended 31 March 2017. The interim financial
information should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements for the group for the year ended 31 March
2017.
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
2017, except that in future profits will only be booked on
completion of sales rather than on exchange of contracts.
The interim consolidated financial information incorporates the
financial statements of Trafalgar New Homes Plc and its
subsidiaries.
The interim financial information for the six months ended 30
September 2017 was approved by the directors on 8th December
2017.
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 consolidated statement of changes in
equity, the consolidated statement of financial position and
cash-flows.
