Chairman's statement 
 
The predicted fallout earlier in the year from both Brexit and the US elections 
failed to materialise with both the equity and property markets showing 
positive signs of growth, up until, the announcement by the Government to hold 
a General Election in June, which has added another element of uncertainty to 
the markets. 
 
This hasn't been helped by the inevitable protracted exit negotiations from the 
European Union following the triggering of Article 50 which no doubt will be 
put on hold until the result of the election is known. 
 
The effects of the punitive levels of stamp duty on residential property both 
at the top end of the market and the additional burden on the purchase of 
second homes, have added to the increasing disadvantages of holding buy-to-let 
investments with many investors switching to the commercial sector. 
 
However, demand continues to outstrip supply in all areas making it difficult 
to compete at the right level and while the forthcoming election may have more 
of an impact on the equities and bond markets, it may well channel more buyers 
into property. 
 
There has also been speculation about a modest rise in interest rates in the 
short term, following the expected rise in the US, which may result in a good 
deal of volatility and a possible increase of forced sellers to provide 
opportunities to invest. 
 
While a number of opportunities have presented themselves to the Board, the 
huge demand witnessed in the auction rooms and the widespread shortage of stock 
in the private treaty market has proved challenging and prevented us from 
recommending further investment at this stage. 
 
We have in the meantime, following an EGM last September, financed the 
development of a prime retail investment in York at an attractive rate of 
return to offset our cost base in the short term. 
 
With this in mind, we have also reviewed the cost of our annual audit and 
appointed Lubbock Fine as our new Auditors and would like to thank KPMG for all 
their valuable help and advice over the previous years. 
 
Paul Stansfield has decided to retire from office and I would like to express 
thanks on behalf of the Shareholders and Directors for his valuable 
contribution to the development of the Company. 
 
I would also like to thank my fellow Directors for their sterling efforts 
throughout the year to act in the very best interests of our Shareholders. 
 
We will continue to monitor the market and potential opportunities and are 
hopeful of being able to secure something suitable during the course of the 
year. 
 
AGM 
 
The Annual General Meeting will take place at the Royal Automobile Club, 89 
Pall Mall, London SW1Y 5HS on Thursday 13 July 2017 at 11:00 am and the 
Directors look forward to meeting those shareholders who can attend.

from a wide range of businesses and to minimise the level of voids in our 
portfolio and 
 
-     Collecting our rental income on due date. 
 
Recycle Capital 
 
-     Identify properties for disposal where value has been optimised and 
dispose of those which do not fit the Group's long-term plans.

and gearing

Strategic report (Continued) 
 
Principal Risks and Uncertainties (continued) 
 
The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are interest rate 
risk and liquidity risk.  The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing 
each of these risks and they are summarised below. 
 
Interest rate risk 
 
The Group has no exposure at the present time to interest rate risk however the 
Group's policy is to borrow at the lowest rates for periods that do not carry 
excessive time premiums.

As regards liquidity, the Group's policy has throughout the year been to ensure 
that the group is able at all times to meet its financial commitments as and 
when they fall due.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES 
 
The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the 
financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 
 
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each 
financial year.  Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the 
financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted 
Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), 
including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard 
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors 
must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group 
and of the profit or loss of the group for that period.  In preparing these 
financial statements, the directors are required to: 
 
-     select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 
 
-     make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 
 
-     ensure applicable UK accounting standards are followed subject to any 
material departures disclosed  and explained in the financial statements; and 
 
-     prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is 
inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. 
 
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are 
sufficient to show and explain the Company's and the Group's transactions and 
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the 
Company and the Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements 
comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding 
the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps 
for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 
 
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITOR 
 
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as 
defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the Group's auditor 
is unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have 
taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit 
information and to establish that the Group's auditor is aware of that 
information. 
 
AUDITOR 
 
The auditor, KPMG LLP, resigned and have been replaced by the Directors by 
Lubbock Fine who will have their appointment confirmed and will be proposed for 
re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. 
 
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: 
 
.................................................................... 
 
I Cobden - Secretary 
 
Date:   22 May 2017 
 
Report of the Independent Auditor to the Members of Secured Property 
Developments plc 
 
We have audited the financial statements of Secured Property Developments Plc 
for the year ended 31 December 2016, set out on pages 10 to 27. The relevant 
financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is the 
Companies Act 2006 and the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom 
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 
102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of 
Ireland'. 
 
This report is made solely to the Company's shareholders, as a body, in 
accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work 
has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's shareholders those 
matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no 
other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or 
assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's 
shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the 
opinions we have formed. 
 
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS 
 
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement on page 7, 
the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 
and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility 
is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance 
with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). 
Those standards require us to comply with the Financial Reporting Council's 
Ethical Standards for Auditors. 
 
SCOPE OF THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 
financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial 
statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or 
error. This includes an assessment of whether the accounting policies are 
appropriate to the Company's circumstances and have been consistently applied 
and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting 
estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial 
statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non?financial 
information in the Directors' Report to identify material inconsistencies with 
the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is 
apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the 
knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become 
aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the 
implications for our report. 
 
OPINION ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
In our opinion the financial statements: 
 
·        give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 
31 December 2016 and of its profit or loss for the year then ended; 
 
·        have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom 
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 
 
·        have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 
Companies Act 2006. 
 
OPINION ON OTHER MATTER PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 
 
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, the 
information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the 
financial statements are prepared is consistent with those financial statements 
and such reports have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal 
requirements. 
 
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the Company and its 
environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified 
material misstatements in the Directors' Report. 
 
Report of the Independent Auditor to the Members of Secured Property 
Developments plc (continued) 
 
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION 
 
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the 
Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 
 
·        adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate 
for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 
 
·        the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting 
records and returns; or 
 
·        certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are 
not made; or 
 
·        we have not received all the information and explanations we require 
for our audit.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
 
for the Year Ended 31 December 2016 
 
1.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
Secured Property Developments plc (the "Company") is a public company limited 
by shares and incorporated and domiciled in the UK. The address of the 
Company's registered office is given in the company information page 1 of these 
financial statements. 
 
These Group and parent company financial statements were prepared in accordance 
with Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard 
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102").  The presentation 
currency of these financial statements is sterling.  All amounts in the 
financial statements have been rounded to the nearest GBP1. 
 
The transition to FRS 102 from old UK GAAP was made in the year ended 31st 
December 2015 financial statements. 
 
Basis of preparing the financial statements 
 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial 
Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK 
and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements 
have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for tangible 
fixed assets measured in accordance with the revaluation model. 
 
 Turnover 
 
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the Group in respect of services 
supplied during the year and is measured at the fair value of the consideration 
received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other 
sales taxes. 
 
Basis of consolidation 
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the 
Company and its subsidiary undertakings made up to 31 December 2016. A 
subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the parent.  The results of 
subsidiary undertakings are included in the consolidated profit and loss 
account from the date that control commences until the date that control 
ceases. Control is established when the Company has the power to govern the 
operating and financial policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its 
activities.  In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential 
voting rights that are currently exercisable. 
 
Under Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 the Company is exempt from the 
requirement to present its own profit and loss account. 
 
In the parent financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at 
cost less impairment. 
 
Classification of financial instruments issued by the group 
 
In accordance with FRS 102.22, financial instruments issued by the group are 
treated as equity only to the extent that they meet the following two 
conditions: 
 
a)   they include no contractual obligations upon the group to deliver cash or 
other financial assets or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities 
with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the 
group; and 
 
b)   where the instrument will or may be settled in the entity's own equity 
instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to 
deliver a variable number of the entity's own equity instruments or is a 
derivative that will be settled by the entity exchanging a fixed amount of cash 
or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity instruments. 
 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued 
 
for the Year Ended 31 December 2016 
 
1.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 
 
Classification of financial instruments issued by the group (continued) 
 
To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are 
classified as a financial liability.  Where the instrument so classified takes 
the legal form of the entity's own shares, the amounts presented in these 
financial statements for called up share capital and share premium account 
exclude amounts in relation to those shares. 
 
Investment properties 
 
Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental 
income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are 
recognised initially at cost. 
 
Subsequent to initial recognition 
 
i.    investment properties whose fair value can be measured reliably without 
undue cost or effort are held at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from 
changes in the fair value are recognised in profit or loss in the period that 
they arise; and 
 
ii.    no depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties applying 
the fair value model. 
 
If a reliable measure is not available without undue cost or effort for an item 
of investment property, this item is thereafter accounted for as tangible fixed 
assets in accordance with section 17 FRS 102 until a reliable measure of fair 
value becomes available. 
 
Current and deferred taxation 
 
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax 
is recognised in the profit and loss account except to the extent that it 
relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, 
in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive 
income. 
 
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or 
loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the 
balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous 
years. 
 
Deferred tax is provided on timing differences which arise from the inclusion 
of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in 
which they are recognised in the financial statements. 
 
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the 
reversal of the related difference, using tax rates enacted or substantively 
enacted at the balance sheet date. For investment property that is measured at 
fair value, deferred tax is provided at the rates and allowances applicable to 
the sale of the asset/property Deferred tax balances are not discounted. 
 
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the 
extent that is it probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of 
deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. 
 
Debtors 
 
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. 
Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction 
costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less any impairment. 
 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued 
 
for the Year Ended 31 December 2016 
 
1.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 
 
Cash and cash equivalents 
 
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions 
repayable without penalty on notice of not more than three months. Cash 
equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three 
months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known 
amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. 
 
Financial Instruments 
 
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that 
result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and 
other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to 
related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. 
 
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one 
year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially 
measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are 
payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, 
are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the 
cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the 
arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, 
like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or 
financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an 
out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability 
is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted 
at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at 
amortised cost. 
 
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is 
measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present 
value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective 
interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount 
rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate 
determined under the contract. 
 
Creditors 
 
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price. Other financial 
liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and 
are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method. 
 
2. JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF   ESTIMATION 
UNCERTAINTY 
 
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make 
judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts reported for 
assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported 
for revenue and expenses during the year. However, the nature of the estimation 
means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. There are no key 
sources of estimation uncertainty.
