WYNNSTAY PROPERTIES PLC
FINAL RESULTS FOR YEARED 25TH MARCH 2016
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to be able to report to you on another successful
year in the long life of Wynnstay, a year in which there have been
some very significant developments to which I refer below.
Overview of financial performance
Wynnstay's financial performance for the year may be summarised
as follows:
Change 2016 2015
6.9 % GBP1,778,000 GBP1,663,000
* Property income
(-2.3%) GBP878,000 GBP899,000
* Profit before gain on sale and movement in fair value
of properties and taxation
* Earnings per share 15.6p 66.2p 81.8p
* Dividends per share, paid and proposed +7.3% 13.2p 12.3p
* Net asset value per share +10.1% 584p 531p
* Net gearing 54.2% 45.7%
Property income for the year, at just under GBP1.8 million, was
significantly higher than last year. This increase reflects the
income for most of the year from the acquisition of the Beaver
Industrial Estate at Liphook in June 2015 which more than made up
for the loss of income from the vacant business units at
Chessington during their refurbishment and marketing. Profit before
fair value movement and taxation for the year, at just over
GBP1,000,000 was higher than in the prior year, largely due to the
increase in rental income from Liphook and the profit on the
Colchester property disposal mentioned below.
Our annual property revaluation delivered an increase over the
value for the prior year and the resulting surplus of GBP946,000
has contributed to an increase of over 9.7% in net asset value per
share.
Property Management and Portfolio
Wynnstay currently has a geographically dispersed portfolio
focussed in various towns in the South and East of England with 80
tenants occupying almost 90 separate properties in 20 locations. At
the end of the financial year, the portfolio was virtually
fully-let, with just two vacant units at Liphook.
We continue to liaise closely with our tenants and as a
consequence have experienced considerable tenant loyalty with many
tenants having been in occupation for years, respecting the terms
of their leases and looking after the properties that they occupy.
In return, they know that their dealings with us will be
straightforward and fair. Building on these strong, constructive
relationships, means that we have generally maintained high levels
of occupancy. In addition, we can react flexibly and commercially
to tenants' changing needs, as we have done at Aylesford and
Chessington in the ways described below.
During the year we have negotiated new leases, lease extensions
or lease variations on 9 units at Aylesford, Colchester, Lewes and
St Neots with combined annual rentals of GBP247,000. In addition,
we have concluded 5 lettings at Aylesford and Chessington with
combined annual rentals of GBP165,000.
As I reported previously our main focus over the past year has
been on the Quarry Wood Industrial Estate in Aylesford, on the
refurbishment and reletting of the business units at the Oakcroft
Business Centre at Chessington and on the integration of the Beaver
Industrial Estate at Liphook into the portfolio.
At Aylesford, I reported at the half-year on the successful
completion of negotiations with a number of tenants with a view to
facilitating moves within the estate to accommodate their
requirements. This resulted in the largest tenant renewing the
lease for its main premises, comprising four units, for another
five years whilst a unit they had taken on a temporary basis was
surrendered and relet to a new tenant at an increased rental. With
the reletting of that unit and other units to existing or new
tenants the Aylesford estate is now fully let and we have the
benefit of an increased rental income stream for a longer
period.
We also spent a considerable time during the year exploring the
possibility of expanding the estate at Aylesford by adding a number
of units on vacant land within the site as well as improving the
traffic flow within the site and increasing security for the
benefit of tenants and neighbours. In March 2016 we obtained
planning permission for five additional units of varying sizes, and
designed to be flexible so being either self-contained or capable
of amalgamation with existing adjoining units. This scheme would
provide an additional 22% of lettable space on the estate as well
as creating new car and goods vehicle spaces. Having secured the
planning consent we are now well placed to respond positively to
existing tenants' future space requirements as well as with
enquiries from new potential tenants. However, we do not envisage
developing these units speculatively at this stage.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (continued)
At the Oakcroft Business centre in Chessington, as previously
reported, two of the three units were vacated by the tenant on the
expiry of the leases at the end of our last financial year
following the disposal of a part of the tenant's business. We
negotiated a satisfactory cash settlement with them regarding
dilapidations and then carried out an extensive refurbishment
funded by the settlement monies received. The works were completed
by our contractors on programme and within budget at the end of
September.
I am delighted to report that shortly after the refurbishment
was finished, we successfully completed the letting of the two
vacant units to the existing tenant of the third unit at the
Business Centre for new five-year leases on each unit, subject to a
single tenant break (with compensation payable to us if exercised),
as well as the extension of the lease of their present unit. We
will receive increased rents over those previously paid and the
leases will all be held by the property holding subsidiary of the
large French defence and electronics company which acquired the
present tenant some years ago. Hence, we have secured occupation of
all three units, at higher rents and with an enhanced tenant
covenant. The financial benefit of the new terms will begin to flow
through in the present year.
I reported on the detail of the acquisition at Liphook at the
half-year and that we had let one of the three vacant units. Whilst
there has been some interest, the other two units remained vacant
at the year-end. Indeed, they are the only vacancies in the
portfolio at the time of writing.
Shortly before the year-end we completed the sale of two of our
four retail units in Colchester to a single owner-occupier
purchaser for GBP370,000.
I am pleased to report that contracts to purchase four adjoining
trade counter and industrial units in Lichfield have recently been
exchanged, with completion in the near future. The acquisition
price of GBP1.95 million will be funded from our own cash resources
together with a new additional facility of GBP1.34 million from our
bankers. Further details will be provided with the interim results
in November and in our accounts for the year, in due course.
Portfolio Valuation
As at 25 March 2016, our Independent Valuers, BNP Paribas Real
Estate, have undertaken the annual revaluation of the company's
portfolio at GBP25,230,000 representing, as already mentioned, a
revaluation surplus of GBP946,000. The Board considers this to be
an excellent outcome reflecting the improved lease profile and
enhanced covenants within the portfolio.
Following the revaluation and the sale at Colchester, as at the
year-end, the industrial sector within the portfolio accounted for
64% by value, with the retail and office elements comprising 20%
and 16% respectively.
Borrowings and Gearing
Total borrowings at the year-end were just under GBP10 million
(2015 - GBP7.6 million) and net gearing at the year-end was 54.2%
compared to 45.7% last year. The increased borrowings reflect the
drawdown under our existing facility used to purchase the Beaver
Industrial Estate at Liphook.
We continue to benefit from interest rates remaining at an
historic low level and for a much longer period than most experts
have predicted. Whilst the position may change, and could always
change quite quickly, it still seems that experts consider that any
increases in rates are still some way off and will be in relatively
small steps. Moreover, it remains the case that rates are currently
not forecast in the medium term to return to the levels prevailing
in the pre-financial crisis period.
Costs
Our property costs in this year were higher than in the prior
year as we invested in some improvements jointly with tenants,
which are generally reflected in better lease terms and increased
rents. These costs remain under strict control, as do our
administrative costs, which were also somewhat higher due to the
professional valuation and legal fees resulting from transactions
during the year.
Dividend
In the light of the satisfactory results for the year, the Board
is recommending a total dividend for the year of 13.2p per share
(2015 - 12.3p). An increased interim dividend of 5.0p per share
(2015 - 4.5p) was paid in December 2015. Accordingly, subject to
approval of Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, a final
dividend of 8.2p per share (2015 - 7.8p) will be paid on 22nd July
2016 to Shareholders on the register on 24th June 2016.
The increase in dividends this year should not be taken as any
indication of further increases in the current year as this will
depend on performance during the year, including our ability to
maintain high levels of occupancy as well as to find suitable
additions to the portfolio.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (continued)
Outlook
The greatly improved economic conditions and prospects in the UK
that appeared at about the time of, and following, the general
election now seem to have been tempered by a number of significant
uncertainties arising from different directions
- political, security and budgetary - as well as from
international trade and the global economy. Despite these
uncertainties, published figures show continued U.K. economic
growth and rising employment and healthy consumer spending.
We are encouraged by the progress that Wynnstay has made over
the past few years and will continue to explore opportunities to
grow both the income and the capital value of the portfolio,
including by further acquisition.
Our Management Team
Our two executive directors - Paul Williams, our Managing
Director who during the year completed 10 years service with
Wynnstay, and Toby Parker, our Finance Director - are responsible
for the day-to-day management of Wynnstay and they carry out their
functions with great skill and using their considerable experience
and knowledge of both the portfolio and the commercial property
world. In the light of the performance of the Company over the
recent years, the non-executive Directors decided to award them
each a bonus in the form of a contribution to their pension
schemes. The bonus in the case of Paul is GBP30,000 and in the case
of Toby is GBP5,000. The bonuses are reflected in the accounts for
the last year.
For the present and future years, we are establishing a more
structured performance-related bonus scheme. We also propose to
introduce a straightforward HMRC-approved Share Incentive Plan
which will enable the management team, if they wish, to acquire a
small number of additional shares in Wynnstay, thus participating
in future growth, in a tax-efficient manner.
Colleagues and Advisers
The two executive directors and I, as your Chairman, also
benefit from the extensive knowledge and experience in commercial
property of our two non-executive directors - Charles Delevingne
and Terence Nagle. I would like to thank all four of them, as well
as our advisers, for their contributions over the past year.
Unsolicited approaches to Shareholders
Advances in communications and technology bring great benefits.
But they also provide opportunities for unscrupulous criminals to
seek access to personal information in order to steal an
individual's financial assets. There have been several recent cases
reported in the press. One form of this fraud is unsolicited
telephone approaches to shareholders about their investments in
which the caller mentions individual holdings, such as Wynnstay
Properties. There is nothing that we can do to deter or stop these
approaches and I would urge all shareholders to be vigilant. On
Wynnstay's website (www.wynnstayproperties.co.uk), shareholders
will also find a warning and a link to other information about
unsolicited approaches regarding shares on the Financial Conduct
Authority's website (www.fca.org.uk/consumers/ scams).
Annual General Meeting
Our Annual General Meeting will be held at the Royal Automobile
Club on Wednesday 13th July 2016. As always, I urge Shareholders to
come to London for this event so that they can meet the Board and
other Shareholders informally to discuss the Company's affairs as
well as to take part in the formal annual meeting.

on 10th December 2015, represents a total for the year of 13.2
pence (2015 - 12.3 pence).
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic
Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in
accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial
statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors
have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with
IFRS as adopted by the European Union and applicable law. The
financial statements must, in accordance with IFRS as adopted by
the European Union, present fairly the financial position and
performance of the Company; such references in the UK Companies Act
2006 to such financial statements giving a true and fair view are
references to their achieving a fair presentation. Under Company
law Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they
are satisfied that they give a true and fair view. In preparing
these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-- state whether the financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union;
-- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis
unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will
continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting
records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the Company 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.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity
of the corporate and financial information included on the
Company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the
preparation and dissemination of the financial statements may
differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Corporate Governance
The Board of Directors is accountable to Shareholders for the
good corporate governance of the Company under the AIM rules for
companies. The Company is not required to comply and therefore does
not comply with the UK Corporate Governance Code which has been in
force since 29 June 2010. However, the Board is aware of the best
practice defined by the Code and has adopted procedures to the
extent considered appropriate.
-- The Company is headed by an effective Board of Directors.
-- There is a clear division of responsibilities in running the
Board and running the Company's business.
-- The Board currently comprises two executive and three
non-executive Directors. The Chairman is a non- executive member of
the Board. In view of the size of the Company there is no formal
procedure for the appointment of new Directors.
-- The Board receives and reviews on a regular basis financial
and operating information appropriate to the Directors being able
to discharge their duties. An annual budget is approved by the
Board and a revised forecast is prepared at the half year stage.
Cash flow and other financial performance indicators are monitored
monthly against budget.
-- Directors submit themselves for re-election every three years
by rotation in accordance with the Articles of Association.
-- The Board welcomes communication from the Company's
Shareholders and positively encourages their attendance at the
Annual General Meeting.
-- In view of the current size of the Company and its Board the
establishment of an audit committee or an internal audit department
would be inappropriate. However, the auditors have direct access to
the non-executive Chairman.
Remuneration Committee
The Board currently acts as the remuneration committee, with the
non-executive Directors determining the remuneration of the
executive Directors, and the details of the Directors' emoluments
being set out on page 8 of this report. It is the Company's policy
that the remuneration of Directors should be commensurate with
services provided by them to the Company.
Going Concern
The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has
adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable
future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern
basis in preparing the financial statements.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS 2016 (continued)
Internal Control
The Directors are responsible for the Company's system of
internal financial control, which is designed to provide
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material
misstatement or loss. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the
Board has reviewed the effectiveness of the system of internal
financial control. The Directors have established procedures for
planning and budgeting and for monitoring, on a regular basis, the
performance of the Company.
Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditors
Each of the persons who are Directors at the time when this
report is approved has confirmed that:
-- so far as each Director is aware, there is no relevant audit
information of which the Company's auditors are unaware; and
-- each Director has taken all the steps that ought to have been
taken as a Director, including making appropriate enquiries of
fellow Directors and the Company's auditors for that purpose, in
order to be aware of any information needed by the Company's
auditors in connection with preparing their report and to establish
that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.
Annual General Meeting
The Notice of the Annual General Meeting, to be held on
Wednesday 13th July 2016, is set out on page 35.
By Order of the Board,
T.J.C. Parker
Secretary

STRATEGIC REPORT 2016
The Directors present their Strategic Report for the year ended
25th March 2016.
Principal Activity
The principal activity of the Company during the year continued
to be that of Property Owners, Developers and Managers.
Business Review, Performance Indicators and Risks
A review of the business for the year and of the future
prospects of the Company is included in the Chairman's Statement on
pages 4 to 6. The financial statements and notes are set out on
pages 13 to 31.
The key performance indicators for the Company are those
relating to the underlying movement in both rental income and in
the value of its property investments as set out below:
-- Increase in rental income: 6.9% (2015: increase of 3.4%).
-- Increase in net asset value per share: 10.1% (2015: increase of 15.2%).
The Directors will continue to search for profitable investment
opportunities, and make changes to enhance the value of the
portfolio as and when such opportunities arise.
The principal risks and uncertainties are those associated with
the commercial property market, which is cyclical by its nature and
include changes in the supply and demand for space as well as the
inherent risk of tenant failure. In the latter case, the Company
seeks to reduce this risk by requiring the payment of rent deposits
when considered appropriate. Other risk factors include changes in
legislation in respect of taxation and the obtaining of planning
consents, etc. as well as those associated with financing and
treasury management. The Company's risk management objectives can
be found at note 18 of the financial statements.

WYNNSTAY PROPERTIES PLC
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARED 25TH MARCH
2016
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION, ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Wynnstay Properties Plc is a public limited company incorporated
and domiciled in England and Wales. The principal activity of the
Company is property investment, development and management. The
Company's ordinary shares are traded on the Alternative Investment
Market. The Company's registered number is 00022473.
1.1 Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by
the EU. The financial statements have been presented in Pounds
Sterling being the functional currency of the Company. The
financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
basis modified for the revaluation of investment properties and
financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, and
investments.
The financial statements comprise the results of the Company
drawn up to 25th March each year.
(a) New Interpretations and Revised Standards Effective for the
year ended 25th March 2016
The Directors have adopted all new and revised standards and
interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board ("IASB") and the International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") of the IASB and adopted by the
EU that are relevant to the operations and effective for accounting
periods beginning on or after 26th March 2015. The adoption of
these interpretations and revised standards had the following
impact on the disclosures and presentation of the financial
statements:
IAS 40 Investment Property
The amendment to the standard clarifies that judgement is
required over whether the acquisition of an investment property is
an acquisition of an asset or a business combination that falls
within the scope of IFRS 3. The amendment will prospectively impact
the accounting treatment for the acquisition of investment property
which falls under the scope of business combinations.
The Company has evaluated its investment property acquisitions
during the year ended 25th March 2016 and have not identified any
transactions which fall within the scope of business combinations.
The investment properties acquired during the year are disclosed in
note 9.
(b) Standards and Interpretations in Issue but not yet
Effective
The International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee
("IFRIC") have issued revisions to a number of existing standards
and new interpretations with an effective date of implementation
after the date of these financial statements.
It is not anticipated that the adoption of these revised
standards and interpretations will have a material impact on the
figures included in the financial statements in the period of
initial application. The following standards may have a minor
impact:
IFRS 9: Financial Instruments
The standard makes substantial changes to the measurement of
financial assets and financial liabilities and derecognition of
financial assets. There will only be three categories of financial
assets whereby financial assets are recognised at either fair value
through profit and loss, fair value through other comprehensive
income or measured at amortised cost. On adoption of the standard,
the Group will have to re-determine the classification of its
financial assets based on the business model for each category of
financial asset. This is not considered likely to give rise to any
significant adjustments.
The principal change to the measurement of financial assets
measured at amortised cost or fair value through other
comprehensive income is that impairments will be recognised on an
expected loss basis compared to the current incurred loss approach.
As such, where there are expected to be credit losses these are
recognised in profit or loss. For financial assets measured at
amortised cost the carrying amount of the asset is reduced for the
loss allowance. For financial assets measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income the loss allowance is recognised in
other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount
of the financial asset.
Most financial liabilities will continue to be carried at
amortised cost, however, some financial liabilities will be
required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss, for
example derivative financial instruments, with changes in the
liabilities' credit risk recognised in other comprehensive
income.
The standard is effective for periods beginning on or after 1
January 2018 but is yet to be endorsed by the EU.
IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers
The standard has been developed to provide a comprehensive set
of principles in presenting the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with
a customer. The standard is based around five steps in recognising
revenue:
Identify the contract with the customer
Identify the performance obligations in the contract Determine
the transaction price
Allocate the transaction price
Recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied
On application of the standard the disclosures are likely to
increase. The standard includes principles on disclosing the
nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows
arising from contracts with customers, by providing qualitative and
quantitative information.
The Company has not as yet evaluated the full extent of the
impact that the standard will have on its financial statements,
however the effect is not considered likely to be material.
The standard is effective for periods beginning on or after 1
January 2018 but is yet to be endorsed by the EU.
IFRS 16 - Leases
The standard makes substantial changes to the recognition and
measurement of leases by lessees. On adoption of the standard,
lessees, with certain exceptions for short term or low value
leases, will be required to recognise all leased assets on their
balance sheet as 'right-of-use assets' with a corresponding lease
liability. This is likely to significantly increase the asset and
liability balances recognised in the balance sheet.
In addition to the re-measurements required, on application of
the standard, the disclosures are likely to increase. The standard
includes principles on disclosing the nature, amount, timing and
variability of lease payments and cash flows, by providing
qualitative and quantitative information.
The requirements for lessors are substantially unchanged
although the disclosures are also likely to increase.
The Company has not as yet evaluated the full extent of the
impact that the standard will have on its financial statements,
however the effect is not considered likely to be material.
The standard is effective for periods beginning on or after 1
January 2019 but is yet to be endorsed by the EU.
1.2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES Investment Properties
All the Company's investment properties are revalued annually
and stated at fair value at 25th March.
The aggregate of any resulting surpluses or deficits are taken
to profit or loss.
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their
carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather
than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only
when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for
immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be
committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for
recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of
classification. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are
measured at the lower of the assets' previous carrying amount and
fair value less cost to sell.
Investment properties are recognised as acquisitions or
disposals based on the date of contract completion.
Depreciation
In accordance with IAS 40, freehold investment properties are
included in the Statement of Financial Position at fair value, and
are not depreciated.
Other plant and equipment is recognised at cost and depreciated
on a straight line basis calculated at annual rates estimated to
write off each asset over its useful life of 5 years.
Disposal of Investments
The gains and losses on the disposal of investment properties
and other investments are included in profit or loss in the year of
disposal.
Property Income
Property income is recognised on a straight line basis over the
period of the lease. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the
consideration receivable. All income is derived in the United
Kingdom.
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable
and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the
taxable income for the year based on the tax rate enacted or
substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to
tax payable in respect of prior years. Taxable profit differs from
income before tax because it excludes items of income or expense
that are deductible in other years, and it further excludes items
that are never taxable or deductible.
Deferred taxation 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 profits, and is
accounted for using the statement of financial position liability
method. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable
temporary differences (including unrealised gains on revaluation of
investment properties) 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.
The Company provides for deferred tax on investment properties
by reference to the tax that would be due on the sale of the
investment properties. Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that
are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled,
or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to
profit or loss, including deferred tax on the revaluation of
investment property.
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable
Trade and other receivables are initially measured at fair value
and subsequently measured at amortised cost as reduced by
appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. All
receivables do not carry any interest and are short term in
nature.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash comprises cash at bank and on demand deposits. Cash
equivalents are short term (less than three months from inception),
repayable on demand and are subject to an insignificant risk of
change in value.
Trade and Other Accounts Payable
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value
and subsequently measured at amortised cost. All trade and other
accounts payable are non-interest bearing.
Pensions
Pension contributions towards employees' pension plans are
charged to the statement of comprehensive income as incurred. The
pension scheme is a defined contribution scheme.
Borrowings
Interest rate borrowings are recognised at fair value, being
proceeds received less any directly attributable transaction costs.
Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the
redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of
the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are
classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an
unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the reporting date.
1.3 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty and Judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management
to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that may affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period
in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that
period. The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a
significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year
are those relating to the fair value of investment properties.
There are no judgemental areas identified by management that
could have a material effect on the financial statements at the
reporting date.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing Income after
Taxation attributable to Ordinary Shareholders of GBP1,796,000
(2015: GBP2,219,000) by the weighted average number of 2,711,617
(2015: 2,711,617) ordinary shares in issue during the period
excluding shares held as treasury. There are no instruments in
issue that would have the effect of diluting earnings per
share.

------- -------
The Company's freehold investment properties are carried at fair
value as at 25th March 2016. The fair value of the properties has
been calculated by independent valuers, BNP Paribas Real Estate, on
the basis of market value, defined as:
"The estimated amount for which a property should exchange on
the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller
in an arm's-length transaction, after proper marketing wherein the
parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without
compulsion."
These recurring fair value measurements for non-financial assets
use inputs that are not based on observable market data, and
therefore fall within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The significant unobservable market data used is property yields
which range from 5.5% to 10%, with an average yield of 7.89% and an
average weighted yield of 7.61% for the portfolio.
There have been no transfers between levels of the fair value
hierarchy. Movements in the fair value are recognised in profit or
loss.
A 0.5% increase or decrease in the yield would result in a
corresponding decrease or increase of GBP0.89 million in the fair
value movement through profit or loss.

Typically, the properties were let for a term of between 5 and
15 years at a market rent with rent reviews every 5 years. The
above maturity analysis reflects future minimum lease payments
receivable to the next break clause in the operating lease. The
properties are leased on terms where the tenant has the
responsibility for repairs and running costs for each individual
unit with a service charge payable to cover common services
provided by the landlord on certain properties.

In December 2013, the bank loan was re-financed providing a
credit facility of up to GBP10 million. Interest was charged at
2.65% per annum over LIBOR for the refinanced facility.
The loan is repayable in one instalment on 18 December 2018. The
bank loan includes the following financial covenants:
-- Rental income shall not be less than 2.25 times the interest
costs
-- The bank loan shall at no time exceed 50% of the market value
of the properties secured.
15. BANK LOANS PAYABLE (Continued)
The borrowing facility is secured by fixed charges over the
freehold land and buildings owned by the Company, which at the year
end had a combined value of GBP25,230,000 (2015: GBP21,780,000).
The undrawn element of the borrowing facility available at 25th
March 2016 was GBPnil (2015: GBP2.3million). A commitment fee of 1%
per annum was payable on the undrawn amount.
16. DEFERRED TAX
A deferred tax liability of GBP3,000 has been recognised in
respect of the investment property (2015: Deferred tax asset of
GBP44,000 was not recognised as it was not considered to be
recoverable).

Wynnstay Properties Plc from Channel Hotels and Properties Ltd at a
price of GBP3.50 per share. These shares, representing in excess of
14% of the total shares in issue, are held in Treasury.
18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The objective of the Company's policies is to manage the
Company's financial risk, secure cost effective funding for the
Company's operations and minimise the adverse effects of
fluctuations in the financial markets on the value of the Company's
financial assets and liabilities, on reported profitability and on
the cash flows of the Company.
At 25th March 2016 the Company's financial instruments comprised
borrowings, cash and cash equivalents, short term receivables and
short term payables. The main purpose of these financial
instruments was to raise finance for the Company's operations.
Throughout the period under review, the Company has not traded in
any other financial instruments. The Board reviews and agrees
policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised
below:
Credit Risk
The risk of financial loss due to a counterparty's failure to
honour its obligations arises principally in connection with
property leases and the investment of surplus cash.
Tenant rent payments are monitored regularly and appropriate
action is taken to recover monies owed or, if necessary, to
terminate the lease. Funds are invested and loan transactions
contracted only with banks and financial institutions with a high
credit rating.
The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk
associated with trading counterparties (considered to be over 5% of
net assets) with exposure spread over a large number of
tenancies.
Concentration of credit risk exists to the extent that at 25th
March 2016 and 2015, current account and short term deposits were
held with two financial institutions, Svenska Handelsbanken AB and
C Hoare & Co. Maximum exposure to credit risk on cash and cash
equivalents at 25th March 2016 was GBP1,383,000 (2015:
GBP1,050,000).
Currency Risk
As all of the Company's assets and liabilities are denominated
in Pounds Sterling, there is no exposure to currency risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk as it
currently borrows at floating interest rates. The Company monitors
and manages its interest rate exposure on a periodic basis but does
not take out financial instruments to mitigate the risk. The
Company finances its operations through a combination of retained
profits and bank borrowings.
18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Financial instruments affected by interest rate risk include
loan borrowings and cash deposits. The analysis below shows the
sensitivity of the statement of comprehensive income and equity to
a 0.5% change in interest rates:

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Capital Management
The primary objectives of the Company's capital management
are:
-- to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for
shareholders: and
-- to enable the Company to respond quickly to changes in market
conditions and to take advantage of opportunities.
Capital comprises Shareholders' equity plus net borrowings. The
Company monitors capital using loan to value and gearing ratios.
The former is calculated by reference to total net debt as a
percentage of the year end valuation of the investment property
portfolio. Gearing ratio is the percentage of net borrowings
divided by Shareholders' equity. Net borrowings comprise total
borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
The Company's policy is that the loan to value ratio should not
exceed 50% and the gearing ratio should not exceed 100%.
