The Company has continued with its development of the five sites in Kent at: Hildenborough (two detached houses); Burnside, Tunbridge Wells (six apartments); Speldhurst, Tunbridge Wells (one large detached house); Edenbridge (three terraced houses); and Sheerness (six terraced houses).

The sites at Burnside, Tunbridge Wells, Hildenborough and Edenbridge are nearing completion, which is expected in early 2017."

Notes to Editors:

Trafalgar New Homes is the holding company of Combe Bank Homes, a successful residential property developer operating in the southeast of England. The founders of Combe Bank Homes have a long track record of developing new and refurbished homes, principally in Kent.

The Company's focus is on the select acquisition of land for residential property development. The Company outsources all development activities, for example the obtaining of planning permission, design and construction, and uses fixed price build contracts, enabling it to tightly control its development and overhead costs.

Construction work is ongoing on all of the sites owned by the company with the work at Hildenborough, Burnside, Tunbridge Wells and Edenbridge due to be completed in early 2017 with completion of the Speldhurst and Sheerness sites in the summer of 2017.

It is anticipated that the developments will contribute to turnover for the financial years ending 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2018. As a result of the change in accounting policy revenue is not recognised until completion of sale (previously on exchange of contracts).

The Company focuses on the regions of Kent, Surrey, Sussex and the M25 ring south of London and targets development sites of up to 20 homes, with sales prices typically ranging from GBP100,000 to GBP1,000,000 per unit, although larger projects are undertaken.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT

I am pleased to present the Company's Interim Results for the six-month period ended 30 September 2016.

Turnover for the period fell to GBP30,000 (H1 2015: GBP531,000) reflecting the disposal of three car park spaces that were retained on the Borough Green site following its successful sale in the previous year.

A small gross loss of GBP3,000 resulted in a pre-tax loss of GBP132,000 after overheads (H1 2015: loss GBP168,000) and earnings per share (EPS) of (0.05p) (H1 2015: (0.07p)).

Cash in bank at 30 September 2016 was GBP167,107.

The loss recorded for the period was as a result of there being little turnover and no profit for the period following the application of the Company's overheads for the six months.

Despite the lack of turnover, the Company expanded its operation during the period by continuing with the development of the three sites at Edenbridge, Hildenborough and Burnside, Tunbridge Wells, all of which are now on course for completion in early 2017. Development work commenced in the year at Speldhurst, Tunbridge Wells and Sheerness which are due for completion in the summer of 2017. Planning permission is still awaited on the site at Staplehurst, Kent.

For the financial year ending 31 March 2017, the Company anticipates turnover and related unit profit from any sales of the completed units at Burnside, Tunbridge Wells, Hildenborough and Edenbridge. The sales of any unsold units will contribute to the turnover and profitability for the year ending 31 March 2018, together with sales at Speldhurst, Tunbridge Wells and Sheerness.

In addition, the Company is negotiating the purchase of other sites in its chosen area of operation, which, if successful, are planned to contribute to revenue in 2018.

On the strategic development site at Staplehurst, the Company, following advice from its planning consultants, continues to seek planning permission and will be submitting a further planning application in the near future.

Aside from its development activities, the Company continues to look for corporate opportunities to grow the Company and will progress them if considered viable.

The Board believes the Company is now entering a growth phase, through land acquisition and development, whilst also considering possible corporate acquisitions.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

For the six-months ended 30 September 2016

   1.           GENERAL INFORMATION 

This financial information is for Trafalgar New Homes Plc ("the Company") and its subsidiary undertakings. The Company is incorporated in England and Wales.

   2.           BASIS OF PREPARATION 

The interim consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations adopted by the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. The interim financial information incorporates the results for the group for the six-month period from 1 April 2016 to 30 September 2016. The results for the year ended 31 March 2016 have been extracted from the statutory financial statements for the Company for the year ended 31 March 2016. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the group for the year ended 31 March 2016.

The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been followed in these unaudited interim financial statements as those which were applied in the preparation of the group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016, except that in future profits will only be booked on completion of sales rather than on exchange of contracts.

The interim consolidated financial information incorporates the financial statements of Trafalgar New Homes Plc and its subsidiaries.

The interim financial information for the six months ended 30 September 2016 was approved by the directors on 30 November 2016.

   3.           SEGMENTAL REPORTING 

For the purpose of IFRS 8, the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") takes the form of the Board of Directors. The Directors' opinion of the business of the Group is that the principal activity of the Group was property development and there is considered to be one reportable segment, that of property development carried on in the UK. The internal and external reporting is on a consolidated basis with transactions between group companies eliminated on consolidation. Therefore, the financial information of the single segment is the same as that set out in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidate statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of financial position and cash-flows.
