Chairman's Statement

The referendum vote to leave the EU is expected to result in added caution in the prime residential market, in addition to the current headwinds that are facing this sector.

Chief amongst these is stamp duty, and it is difficult to see how the new government can continue to ignore the decline in taxation income as a result of falling sales. There has been no positive impact at the lower end of the market, and we believe the current stamp duty levy will have to be reviewed before long.

Clearly there remains political and economic uncertainty in particular with regard to our future relationship with the EU. It is too early to make any predictions about the precise impact of the vote to leave EU, and the outlook for the prime residential sector is therefore that it will remain flat at least for the next few months. In the meantime, committed investors will use the opportunity to acquire financial assets cheaply against the backdrop of the fall in the value of sterling, though this is less likely to be so beneficial to the prime residential sector.

Northacre, however, has good reason to be optimistic as it constructs two significant projects, 1 Palace Street and The Broadway, in a rather more benign construction climate, with the potential for delivery to the market at a time of more economic certainty.

Klas Nilsson

Non-Executive Chairman

Chief Executive's Statement

In the last few months we have had the Brexit vote which has brought some further uncertainty to the high-end housing market. In this uncertain market Northacre is fully committed to delivering the most desirable and beautifully crafted homes. We strongly believe that the flight to quality will become even more apparent in the short to medium term and that quality will be rewarded with premium exit values.

Having talked about a more cautionary outlook it is also important to note that the strength of the Dollar towards the Pound makes London a much more attractive market for Dollar denominated (or pegged) buyers. We have already started seeing this in our viewings.

Current Developments

The Broadway

Since we achieved planning consent in late February 2016 we have been working on submitting an S73 Planning Application which would see the number of units increase and hence the average size decrease. This is in response to end users looking for smaller apartments.

During this period we have also selected the demolition contractor who is due to start on-site in November 2016, the week after we gain vacant possession of the building.

1 Palace Street

Balfour Beatty has been selected as the general contractor and took possession of the site in June 2016. Careys has been awarded the contract for the basement and frame. They are on-site and in the process of breaking the existing concrete pile caps.

As of August 2016 we have exchanged on thirty nine units out of seventy two. This is eleven more since our last update in April 2016.

Vicarage Gate House

This development achieved practical completion in April 2016. In May 2016 we resumed the sales push and to date we have sold four out of the thirteen units. We had two further units which had exchanged but unfortunately did not complete. We have received two further offers which we turned down as they were too low.

13&14 Vicarage Gate

We achieved practical completion on the last unit in May 2016. At present we have sold the first floor unit and the second floor is under offer and should exchange in early October 2016. Moreover, we have had other offers at prices substantially below asking price which have been rejected.

Chester Square

The development is moving along swiftly, the contractor is on-site and is undertaking the structural works and refitting the roof. All the interior design has been agreed and signed off by the client. Practical completion is expected in July 2017.

22 Prince Edward Mansions

The high-end market in the area has seen very little activity since we put the property on the market in February 2016. We have taken the property off the market for the summer months and will be relisting it in mid-September at the reduced price of GBP6.55 million. We are hoping that this will create a stronger interest for the property.

Outlook

In my last update I discussed how construction inflation had reached unsustainable levels and the effect this would have on supply and pricing. It is interesting to note that construction inflation has already slowed down considerably and we now believe that it will be minimal for the foreseeable future.

Financial Review

Consolidated Interim Statement of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited)

The Group's revenue for the six month period decreased by GBP0.2m to GBP1.8m (2015: GBP2.0m) as a result of lower development management fees received from the Vicarage Gate House, 13/14 Vicarage Gate and Chester Square developments. Vicarage Gate House achieved practical completion in April 2016 and 13/14 Vicarage Gate achieved practical completion in May 2016. There are no further development management fees expected from these two projects. Practical completion of the Chester Square development is now expected in July 2017 with some delays at planning and design stages which resulted in fees being spread over a longer project life, with further expected fees of GBP40,000 in the next 12 months. 77% of the reported development fee income is from 1 Palace Street (GBP1.0m) and The Broadway (GBP0.4m) projects. N Studio's revenue remained consistent with the previous period at GBP0.3m (2015: GBP0.3m) and other revenue of GBP0.1m is from Vicarage Gate House and Chester Square development.

Administrative expenses have increased to GBP2.2m (2015: GBP2.1m). The Group reported a loss before taxation of GBP0.5m (2015: GBP0.4m).

Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited)

The Group's cash position has remained stable in comparison to the 31(st) December 2015 position and as at 30 June 2016 had cash and cash equivalents of GBP1.1m (31(st) December 2015: GBP1.2m).

Available for sale financial assets of GBP10.0m in the Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited) represent the fair value of the investment in the 1 Palace Street development. The GBP5.5m (2015: GBP4.6m) inventories balance primarily relates to the 22 Prince Edward Mansions development which achieved practical completion in December 2015. The development has been funded by reserves and a loan from the Royal Bank of Scotland which is due to be repaid in full on the earlier of the sale of the property which is expected by the end of the financial year or by 2(nd) December 2016.

Capital and Reserves

The Directors do not recommend the payment of an interim dividend as the funds of the Company are fully employed.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

For the Six Months ended 30(th) June 2016

   1.     Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies 

Basis of Preparation

The interim financial information for the six months ended 30(th) June 2016 and 30(th) June 2015 is unaudited. The interim financial information was approved by the Board of Directors on 14(th) September 2016.

The statutory financial statements for the year ended 31(st) December 2015, prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), have been reported on by the Group auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The audit report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under s498 of the Companies Act 2006.

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting (IAS) 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

The interim financial information does not constitute statutory financial statements as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those applied as at 31(st) December 2015 and those that the Directors expect to be adopted as at 31(st) December 2016. They are set out in full in the financial statements for the year ended 31(st) December 2015.

Going Concern

The Company and Group currently meet their day-to-day working capital requirements through fees receivable from its projects: Chester Square, Vicarage Gate House, 1 Palace Street and The Broadway.

The Directors have prepared detailed cash flow projections for the period ending 31(st) December 2020 making reasonable assumptions about the levels and timings of income and expenditure, and in particular the timing of receipt of certain fees due from major developments. These projections show that the Group can meet its on-going working capital requirements. On this basis the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Significant Judgements and Estimates of Areas of Uncertainty

In preparing these financial statements the Directors are required to make judgements and best estimates of the outcome of and in particular, the timing of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities based on assumptions. These assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are considered reasonable under the various circumstances. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis with any revisions being applied in the relevant period. The material areas where estimates and assumptions are made are:

   -       The valuation of goodwill; 
   -       The valuation of available for sale financial assets; and 
   -       The status and progress of the developments and projects. 

Basis of Consolidation

The Group financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings. Subsidiary undertakings are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the subsidiary and therefore exercises control. The existence and effect of both current voting rights and potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether control of an entity is exercised. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date at which the Group obtains the relevant level of control and are de-consolidated from the date at which control ceases.

Revenue

Revenue represents amounts earned by the Group in respect of services rendered during the period net of value added tax. Shares in development profits and performance fees are recognised when the amounts involved have been finally determined and agreed criteria for recognition have been fulfilled. Fees in respect of project management and interior and architectural design are recognised in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract.

Revenue also includes sales commission fees receivable where the Group acts as sales agent on developments. The sales commission is recognised 50% on exchange of contracts, which is not-refundable and 50% on completion.

Investments

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, and other investments are presented in the Group and Parent financial statements at cost, less any necessary provision or impairment.

Associates

Associates are entities over which the Group exercise significant influence but does not exercise control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost, which includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss. The Group's share of its associate's profits or losses after acquisition of its interest is recognised in profit or loss and cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Where the Group's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the Group only recognises further losses where it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Financial Assets

Available for sale financial assets consist of equity investments in other entities where the Group does not exercise either control or significant influence. The investments reflect capital contributions made in respect of projects undertaken with other partners in which the Group will be entitled to an eventual profit share.

Available for sale financial assets are shown at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value being shown in Other Comprehensive Income, or at cost less any necessary provision for impairment where a reliable estimate of fair value is not able to be determined.

Impairment of Assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation but are instead tested annually for impairment and are subject to additional impairment testing if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Indicators of impairment are reviewed annually.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Any impairment charge is recognised in profit or loss in the year in which it occurs. When an impairment loss, other than an impairment loss on goodwill, subsequently reverses due to a change in the original estimate, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, up to the carrying amount that would have resulted, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

Business Combinations and Goodwill

Goodwill relating to acquisitions prior to 1(st) March 2006 is carried at the net book value on that date and is no longer amortised but is subject to annual impairment review. On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. Any deficiency of the cost of acquisition below the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired (i.e. discount on acquisition) is credited to profit or loss in the period of acquisition. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

Capital and Financial Risk Management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of its debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company, comprising issued capital, share premium account and retained profits.

The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends payable to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt or increase capital.

The Board regularly reviews the capital structure, with an objective to minimise net debt whilst investing in the development opportunities.

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks and those activities involve the analysis, evaluation, acceptance and management of some degree of risk or combination of risks. Taking risks is core to the property business and the operational risks are an inevitable consequence of being in business. The Group's aim is to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and return and minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's performance.

The Group's risk management policies are designed to identify and analyse these risks, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor the risks by means of a reliable up-to-date information system. The Group regularly reviews its risk management policies and systems to reflect changes in markets, products and emerging best practice.

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors. Directors are responsible for the identification of the major business risks faced by the Group and for determining the appropriate course of action to manage those risks. The most important types of risk are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Market risk includes currency, interest rate and other price risks.

   2.     Segmental Information 

Segmental information is presented in respect of the Group's business segments. The business segments are based on the Group's corporate and internal reporting structure. Segment results and assets include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated to a segment on a reasonable basis. The segmental analysis of the Group's business as reported internally to management is as follows:
