Chairman and Chief Executive's Statement

Year Ended 31 March 2017

Shareholders' Overview

Highlights

-- Marketing of the Sugar House, East Quay site for a mixed use scheme. The Group has signed Heads of Terms with a preferred development partner and discussions are underway to formulate the application to be submitted for planning consent.

   --      Completion of further capital investments to upgrade the Group's operations and asset base. 

-- Submission of representations supported by a detailed evidence base to the public consultation on the proposed new planning framework, the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan, which will determine the land use allocation for the Former Airport Site and the area around Sutton Harbour which includes Plymouth Fisheries.

Strategic Review

The strategic review has continued throughout the financial year with the help of Rothschild to explore all options with the objective of maximising value for shareholders. In order to maximise the effectiveness of this strategic review, the Board is conducting this within the context of a formal sale process as set out in Note 2 of Rule 2.6 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.

Results and Financial Position

The adjusted profit before taxation for the year was GBP0.331m (2016: GBP0.410m), which excludes non-cash fair value adjustments, the increase in the onerous lease provision (see below) and other impairments. Profit before taxation for the year under review as per the Income Statement, inclusive of the aforementioned adjustments, was GBP0.053m (2016: GBP1.590m).

As at 31 March 2017 net assets were GBP40.141m (2016: GBP40.869m), representing 41.7p per share (2016: 42.4p per share). The decrease reflects the fair value adjustment to the investment property portfolios of GBP0.110m surplus offset by valuation deficit of owner occupied property of GBP0.215m, a net GBP0.105m charge to the Income Statement (2016: GBP1.452m credit) and also the deficit on revaluation of other owner occupied assets of GBP0.765m (2016: GBP1.167m deficit) recorded to the Revaluation Reserve. Overall, these valuation movements which were determined by way of an independent valuation, decreased net assets by GBP0.870m (2016: GBP0.285m increase in net assets).

The non-cash onerous lease provision was increased by GBP0.173m to account for the potential future performance of the sub-letting of Salt Quay House until the lease expires in 2021.

During the year net debt (including finance leases) increased in line with expectations to GBP22.458m, up GBP0.245m from GBP22.213m at 31 March 2016, following expenditure on further asset additions and costs in connection with the promotion of the development land inventory. Gearing as at 31 March 2017 was 55.9% (31 March 2016: 54.4%). Finance costs fell from GBP1.057m (2016) to GBP0.957m following refinancing in March 2016 on better terms.

The board does not recommend payment of a dividend on the year's results.

Directors and Staff

During the year there have been no changes in the Company's directorships and staff numbers have fallen slightly due to consolidation of some roles. Headcount, excluding Non-Executive Directors, as at 31 March 2017 stood at 35 (31 March 2016: 38).

Operations Report

Marine

Trading at Plymouth Fisheries Hub (the "Fisheries Hub") was strong throughout the year, with fish throughput valued at GBP19.7m, resulting in its most successful year. Fuel sales margins performed satisfactorily as a vital revenue source to the Fisheries Hub's business, although ice revenues were lower following the departure of a fish processing tenant from the Fisheries Hub complex.

During the year, the Company has reviewed the efficiency of the Fisheries Hub, which is now 23 years old. Fish throughput has increased significantly during the life of the facility, resulting in increased articulated vehicle movements, whilst fish processing on-site has largely diminished resulting in underused processing unit space. To address the changing needs of fishing and to improve public accessibility to the area, the Company has submitted proposals for a reconfigured Fisheries 'Hub' complex to the public consultation on the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan.

The Marina at Sutton Harbour saw annual berthing occupancy fall slightly compared to the previous season. During the last year wi-fi connectivity at the marina has been significantly improved and a refurbished reception has been relocated to a more prominent position at the front of the existing marina jetty. King Point Marina continued to gain customers during the period.

Real Estate

Early on in the financial year under review, three tenants departed, two being long standing occupiers of premises at the Fisheries Hub and one having occupied a floor of North Quay House. This space, while being actively marketed, currently remains vacant, although occupier interest in the premises has increased in recent months.

Car Parking

The car parks performed strongly in the first half year although revenues flattened in the second half with overall income finishing marginally ahead of last year. The installation of energy efficient lighting has resulted in an energy consumption saving of over 60%. In early 2017, further enhancement works, including clearer signage, have been carried out and automatic number plate recognition equipment has been installed to improve management efficiency.

Regeneration

Former Airport Site

Throughout the year the Company has been co-ordinating the preparation of a detailed evidence base to support representations to three stages of public consultation towards the formulation of the new local planning framework 'The Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local (formerly 'Plymouth') Plan'. The local planning authority has remained of the view that the site should be safeguarded for general aviation use (such as private aircraft). This is despite a Department for Transport report on Plymouth Airport released in December 2016 that concluded that there is no realistic prospect that commercial passenger services would be economically viable from the site without significant public subsidy which it has been confirmed is not available.

Our evidence based submission includes independent reports on aviation which conclude that there is no financially sustainable case for commercial or general aviation uses, due to technical, environmental and commercial constraints, and presents the case for the best alternative use. This includes a concept masterplan for a 'Garden Suburb' known as Plym Vale anchored by education, sports, healthcare and employment uses with c.1,500 new homes on the currently redundant brownfield site.

The public hearing of the proposed Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan is expected to take place in late 2017 with the independent Government Planning Inspector's Report planned to follow in 2018.

Sugar House, East Quay

Following reconfiguration of the proposed scheme to provide a mix of private residential units, student accommodation, car parking and commercial space, the site was re-marketed to targeted investors/developers. The Company has signed Heads of Terms with a preferred bidder and discussions are underway to formulate the application to be submitted for planning consent.

The 'Boardwalk', Vauxhall Quay

During the year the Company commissioned further ecology and geology surveys required by the Marina Management Organisation in order to obtain the requisite licensing to develop in a marine environment, a requirement in addition to planning consent. The licensing consent is currently awaited. This 7,800 sq ft scheme, to be built on a pier like structure and deliver two large restaurants and a small pavilion unit, gained planning consent in 2015.

Outlook

The Company has made the strongest possible representations to the consultation on the Joint Local Plan in order to progress the stated regeneration strategy 'to realise land inventory assets through sale and development' for both the Former Airport Site and the area immediately around Sutton Harbour. A positive planning allocation outcome will be a key milestone event towards ultimate asset realisation and consequent debt reduction.

Going Concern

The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably foreseeable possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group should be able to operate within the level of the facilities and covenants over a period of at least twelve months. The covenants measure interest cover, debt to fair value and capital expenditure.

After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group, therefore, continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
