CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
A satisfactory year. I am pleased to report that the Company made a net profit of GBP555,723
after tax and expenses for the year ended 31 March 2017. Gross rental income rose to GBP938,342 compared with GBP901,717 in the previous year. Administrative expenses were GBP95,708 as against GBP98,206 previously. Financial expenses rose to GBP54,026 (GBP27,276) due to increased borrowing as mentioned below.
The properties owned by the Company as at 31 March 2017 were valued professionally at GBP13,605,000. The value of the properties owned throughout the year (excluding those purchased or sold) decreased by 1.45 per cent. During the year the Company sold its two properties in South Shields which in aggregate led to a slight gain over their previous valuation. The property in Woodbridge which the Company purchased in 2015 and let to Joules was sold at a significant gain. During the year the Company purchased three new properties in Truro, Barnstaple and Middlesbrough respectively. The Board considers that they will prove to be valuable additions to the Company's portfolio of properties. All the Company's tenants are up-to-date with their rents and there are no vacancies.
In order to finance the purchase of the properties mentioned above, the Company has taken a further loan of GBP1 million from Barclays Bank. In addition, the Company has also been taking bridging finance from a related party at an interest rate of 4% per annum. The Board continues to search for property investments to add to the Company's portfolio and will borrow further when, and if, appropriate.
An interim dividend of 10 pence per ordinary share was paid in April 2017 and the Board has decided to recommend a final dividend of 14.5p per share payable on 18 October 2017 to shareholders registered at close of business on 22 September 2017. This represents a total dividend of 24.5p per share compared with 24p last year.
The net asset value of each ordinary share was GBP7.25 per share as at 31 March 2017 compared with GBP7.13 at 31 March 2016.
The Board has chosen the same venue as last year for this year's Annual General Meeting which will be held at Stanmore Golf Club, 29 Gordon Avenue, Stanmore on 6 September 2017.
In conclusion, I would like to thank my co-directors and the Company's advisers for their continued help and assistance.
