Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2017

11 September 2017

Financial Results

The Company made an unaudited profit before and after taxation of GBP12,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2017 (2016: loss of GBP57,000).

The return of the Company to profitability has resulted from the establishment of a stable property portfolio, comprising thirteen assets, during the period. The Company made one small property acquisition in January 2017, but otherwise the portfolio has remained unchanged throughout the period. Rent reviews for five properties took place during the period, recording uplifts in line with CPI. As a result of the acquisition and rent reviews, total annualised rent for the property portfolio had reached GBP636,500 by 30 June 2017, representing a gross yield of 10.5%.

The Company's unaudited balance sheet at 30 June 2017 shows net assets of GBP2.2m, of which GBP0.2m was held in cash at the balance sheet date. Investment properties were carried at an aggregate value of GBP6.6m, with GBP4.5m of associated borrowings in place.

Property Portfolio

The Company held investment properties valued at GBP6.6m at 30 June 2017, consisting of seven children's homes, one supported living home and five properties rented out as short term accommodation to local authorities. The children's homes and supported living asset are leased to care operators on long term full repairing and insuring leases with annual index-linked uplifts. The short term accommodation is let for shorter periods to local authorities, with vacancy rates in the sector historically less than 1%. For the largest short term accommodation property, the Company has entered into a one year lease with the local authority.

The following table gives details of the purchase prices and gross yields on purchase price:

 
                                   Purchase    Annual    Gross rental

Notes to the Interim Financial Report

For the six months ended 30 June 2017 (unaudited)

1. Financial information

Basis of preparation and publication

The annual financial statements of Specialist Investment Properties Plc are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

The information for the year ended 31 December 2016 does not constitute statutory accounts. The Annual Report and Accounts of the Group were issued on 26 May 2017. The auditor's report on those accounts was not qualified and did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report.

Copies of this announcement are available on the Company's website www.specialistinvestmentproperties.com

Going concern

The directors have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in the financial statements concerning the company's ability to continue as a going concern and the basis on which the financial statements have been prepared. As it is the directors' intention to sell the company's assets and liabilities in the normal course of business and then to wind up the company in an orderly manner, the financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis. It should be noted that the company continues to be solvent and will meet its liabilities as they fall due. The decision to wind up the company does not impact the measurement of its assets and liabilities.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

Investment properties

The Group's investment properties are held for long term investment. Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value based on market data and a valuation made as of each reporting date. The fair value of investment property does not reflect future capital expenditure that will improve or enhance the property and does not reflect future benefits from this future expenditure.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year in which they arise.

Investment properties are recognised for accounting purposes upon completion of contract, when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the Group. Investment properties cease to be recognised when they have been disposed of. Any gains and losses arising are recognised in the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year of disposal.

Net rental income

Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties is accounted for on a straight line basis over the lease term. An adjustment to rental income is recognised from the rent review date of each lease in relation to unsettled rent reviews. For leases which contain fixed or minimum deemed uplifts, the rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term. Incentives for lessees to enter into lease agreements are spread evenly over the lease terms, even if the payments are not made on such a basis. Rental income is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, VAT and other sales taxes or duty.

Bank loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially measured at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, all interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are separately identifiable and directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs the Group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

2. Dividends

The Directors do not recommend the payment of an interim dividend in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2017 (30 June 2016: GBPnil, 31 December 2016: GBPnil).
