RNS Number : 2200E All Points North Plc 25 September 2008 ALL POINTS NORTH PLC CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 Against a background of negative sentiment for the whole of the property sector our company has turned in a creditable set of results. Turnover for the year was £1,086,369 [2007 £459,399] resulting in an operating profit of £282,739 [2007 £134,358 loss]. Rent receivable increased from £236,000 per annum for 2007 to in excess of £336,000 per annum whilst still retaining sufficient spare capacity to increase the rent roll by a further 50%. We still have an unutilised bank facility in excess of £2m subject to the bank's valuation criteria. When I reported in our interims last November I was expecting an improvement in our net asset position by the year end. However, due to our biannual revaluation being revised downwards together with dividend payments, net assets have in fact reduced by 10.1% to £1,820,529 since the end of the last financial year. I still believe that by the end of the current period this position should be reversed although the economic climate may have an effect. In line with our dividend policy the Directors recommend that the Company maintains its final dividend of 1p per ordinary share payable on the 3rd November 2008 to shareholders on the register as at 3rd October 2008. This dividend, together with the interim payment made of 0.5p, represents an increase of 50% over last year. The Directors have each waived their entitlement to receive this dividend prior to it being declared and propose to waive future dividends until net assets increase to in excess of £2m. During the second half of the year our insurance claim against Norwich Union for the fire at 45 Highgate, Kendal was settled in full at £318,915 at the lower end of our expectations. We entered into a 50-50 joint venture with APMW Limited, a specialist land remediation and development company based in Cumbria, by forming 5North Developments Limited. The first project undertaken was to purchase an Option over a 5.6 acre site at Flimby in Cumbria and since the year end detailed discussions are underway with the planners for a scheme comprising 70 residential and 21,000 sq.ft. of commercial units. Also in the current financial period we have purchased 17 acres of land and buildings in Wigton, Cumbria for £370,000. Our agents are currently marketing the site which has been divided into small parcels. We have also purchased for £100,000 an option over a 4 acre site identified in the current Local Development Framework as suitable for 70 dwellings. I look forward to reporting our progress in my next interim statement later this year. B K Chadwick Chairman Date: 24 September 2008 ALL POINTS NORTH PLC MANAGING DIRECTOR'S REPORT My annual update on our property portfolio as at 31 March 2008 follows: College House, Barrow in Furness, Cumbria Approximately 10,000 sq.ft. of space is still available for occupation with the ability to further increase this to 13,200 sq.ft. by expending capital on installing a mezzanine floor to the gym area. 45 Highgate, Kendal, Cumbria The upper floors were converted into two flats which were subsequently sold for a combined total of £300,000. At this point we still had two retail units available on the ground floor which have subsequently been let. 47-51 Highgate, Kendal, Cumbria As reported in the Chairman's Statement for the interim period to 30 September 2007, our tenant went into administration. We negotiated with William Hill Organization Limited for a 20 year lease at an initial rent of £27,000 per annum which, after the year end, was entered into. We have obtained planning approval to convert the upper floors into three flats and intend to start work later this year. Gatesgarth, Keswick, Cumbria Three of the six flats have now been sold and it is our intention to auction two of the properties at the end of September unless previously sold by Private Treaty. Botchergate, Carlisle, Cumbria We have still not found a suitable tenant at an acceptable level of rent and term of lease but are in discussions with a Car Park operator who wishes to lease the site. Should this lead to a satisfactory agreement being reached we would need to apply for the appropriate planning approval. Cumbria House, Penrith, Cumbria Approximately 52% percent of the lettable space is tenanted and our agents are seeking tenants for the remaining units. Kendal Bowman, Kendal, Cumbria A planning application was submitted to build eight flats (subject to a section 106 agreement) and a retail unit at ground level. (Since the year end this has been granted). We intend to submit a further planning application for permission to build four townhouses on the car park and are negotiating with an adjacent owner to potentially put together our sites which would, if successful, allow us to develop a further twenty five flats. Concorde House, Blackpool, Lancashire On 1st October 2007 our existing tenant assigned his lease with our consent to another furniture retailer and we negotiated a rental increase of 17%. ALL POINTS NORTH PLC MANAGING DIRECTOR'S REPORT Duke Street, Barrow in Furness, Cumbria The property was sold during the year for £301,000 some £100,000 above valuation. J M Elliott Managing Director Date: 24 September 2008 ALL POINTS NORTH PLC DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2008. STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare the 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). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit and loss of the company 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 estimates that are reasonable and prudent; * state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; * 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 proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements and other information included in annual reports may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. So far as each of the directors is aware at the time the report is approved: * there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware, and * the directors have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware if that information. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY The principal activity of the company is that of property development. BUSINESS REVIEW The results for the year are discussed in the Chairman's Statement and the properties are discussed in the Managing Director's Report. As highlighted in the Chairman's Statement the key performance indicator used by the company to measure its performance is the change in the net asset value which in the year ended 31 March 2008 was a reduction of £204,282. ALL POINTS NORTH PLC DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES There are two major risks facing the company. Firstly there is the risk that property prices may fall and the rental market crashes. Secondly there is the risk that the cost of bank borrowing could increase significantly as the consequence of an interest rate increase. The directors are fully aware of these risks and have a considerable amount of experience in dealing with property matters over many years, including periods of falling property prices and high interest rates. ENVIRONMENT The company recognises the importance of its environmental responsibilities, monitors its impact on the environment, and designs and implements policies to reduce any damage that might be caused by the company's activities. Initiatives designed to minimise the company's impact on the environment include the safe disposal of waste and reducing energy consumption. RESULTS The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £350 (2007 Loss £344,945). DIRECTORS The directors who served during the year were: B K Chadwick (Chairman) J M Elliott (Managing Director) J A Lyons (Non-Executive Director) K Philbin (Non-Executive Director) SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDINGS At 31 March 2008 the following interests of three percent or more of the issued ordinary share capital of the company had been notified to the company: % Shares held B K Chadwick 24.3 1,798,000 J M Elliott 27.7 2,046,000 J A Lyons 27.7 2,046,000 ALL POINTS NORTH PLC DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 EVENTS SINCE THE YEAR END In the current financial period the company has purchased 17 acres of land in Wigton, Cumbria for £370,000. Additionally an option over a 4 acre site identified in the Local Development Framework as suitable for 70 dwellings has been purchased for £100,000. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS It is the company's policy to fund itself through an appropriate mix of debt and equity. The company does not operate outside the UK and therefore foreign exchange risk is not applicable. Company policy determines that liquidity risk is managed through a review of regularly prepared cash flow forecasts and the maintenance of sufficient banking facilities to meet both expected requirements and an appropriate level of headroom. As at the year end the company had bank overdraft facilities of up to £7,500,000 subject to a maximum of 70% or 75% of valuation, dependent on the property. At the year end the relevant proportion of all property assets amounted to £5,233,750, of which £5,170,842 had been used. The company managed interest rate risk by reviewing its borrowing facilities on a regular basis and sourcing the most attractive debt products to fund its requirements. COMPANY'S POLICY FOR PAYMENT OF CREDITORS It is the company's policy to set the terms of payment with creditors when agreeing the terms of each transaction and to abide by the creditor's terms of payment. Trade creditors amounted to 16 days (2007 38 days) of average supplies for the year. AUDITORS The auditors, Tenon Audit Limited, will be proposed for reappointment at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Section 385 of the Companies Act 1985. This report was approved by the board on 24 September 2008 and signed on its behalf.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out therein. This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Section 235 of the Companies Act 1985. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume any responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for any opinions we have formed. RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS The directors' responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) are set out in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities. Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). We report to you on our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985. We also report to you whether in our opinion the information given in the Directors' Report is consistent with the financial statements. The information given in the Directors' Report includes that specific information presented in the Chairman's Statement and the Managing Director's Report that is cross referenced from the Business Review of the Directors' report. In addition we report to you if, in our opinion, the company has not kept proper accounting records, if we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding directors' remuneration and other transactions is not disclosed. We read other information contained in the Annual report and consider whether it is consistent with the audited financial statements. This other information comprises only the Directors' Report, the Chairman's Report and the Managing Director's Report. We consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparently misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial statements. Our responsibilities do not extend to any other information. BASIS OF AUDIT OPINION We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. ALL POINTS NORTH PLC INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF ALL POINTS NORTH PLC OPINION In our opinion: * the financial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with United Kingdon Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2008 and of its profit for the year then ended; * the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985; and * the information given in the Directors' Report is consistent with the financial statements.

ALL POINTS NORTH PLC NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 * ACCOUNTING POLICIES * Basis of preparing of financial statements The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of freehold investment property and in accordance with applicable accounting standards. * Turnover Turnover represents rental income receivable and sales of development property. Property sales are recognised at exchange or legal completion upon the circumstances of each sale. * Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: Plant and machinery 33% and 20% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance * Investments Investments held as fixed assets are shown at cost less provisions for their impairment. * Investment properties Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their open market value in accordance with Statement of Standard Accounting Practice No.19 and are not depreciated. This treatment is contrary to the Companies Act 1985 which states that fixed assets should be depreciated but is, in the opinion of the directors, necessary in order to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the company. If the Companies Act had been followed the operating profit of the company would have been reduced by £118,419 (2007: £127,119). * Stocks The stock figure consists of properties purchased for development and sale. Costs include all direct costs. The properties are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. * Deferred taxation Full provision is made for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from all timing differences between the recognition of gains and losses in the financial statements and recognition in the tax computation other than for timing differences from the revaluation of fixed assets in the financial statements for which no provision is made. A net deferred tax asset is recognised only if it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to be effective at the time the timing differences are expected to reverse. * Joint ventures An entity is treated as a joint venture where the company holds a long term interest and shares control under a contractual interest. The investment in the joint venture is shown at cost. ALL POINTS NORTH PLC NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 1.9 Financial instruments Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The principal financial assets and liabilities are as follows: * Trade debtors - Trade debtors are recognised at fair value. * Cash - Cash is carried at fair value. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash comprises cash at bank and in hand together with bank overdraft as these items are an integral part of the company's cash management. * Trade creditors - Trade creditors are recognised at fair value. * Bank loans and other borrowings - Interest bearing bank loans, overdrafts and other loans are recognised at fair value. 2.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The principal financial assets and liabilities are as follows: * Trade debtors - Trade debtors are recognised at fair value. * Cash - Cash is carried at fair value. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash comprises cash at bank and in hand together with bank overdraft as these items are an integral part of the company's cash management. * Trade creditors - Trade creditors are recognised at fair value. * Bank loans and other borrowings - Interest bearing bank loans, overdrafts and other loans are recognised at fair value. As the company's financial instruments consist of a bank overdraft and trade creditors the directors are of the opinion that the fair value of financial instruments is not subject to changes due to changing market conditions. As regards capital management, the directors regard only the share capital of £73,958 and share premium account of £312,723 as the company's capital and there have been no changes in the year. Certain debtors, amounting to £21,000, were overdue for payment at 31 March 2008 but have not been provided against. The average age of those debtors was 170 days.
