J. SMART & CO. (CONTRACTORS) PLC
INTERIM REPORT
FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO
31st JANUARY 2017
J SMART & CO. (CONTRACTORS) PLC
CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
INTERIM REPORT
Unaudited Group profit for the six months to 31st January 2017 amounted to GBP652,000 compared with GBP531,000 for the corresponding period last year. Group turnover increased by 13%. Own work capitalised decreased by 83%.
In accordance with our normal practice, there has been no revaluation of our investment properties at the end of the half year. We believe that a half year revaluation would have had no material effect on the figures.
Residential sales were substantially less than the previous half year due to a hiatus between development starts. Private residential construction activity should recommence by the end of this financial year.
We have commenced construction of the second phases of our industrial developments at West Edinburgh Business Park, South Gyle, Edinburgh and Inchwood Business Park, Bathgate. This follows successful lettings at both sites and pre-lets at Bathgate.
Current site progress in contracting is satisfactory.
INTERIM DIVID
The Board announces an interim dividend of 0.95p per share (2016, 0.92p) to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 5th May 2017. The interim dividend will cost the Company no more than GBP429,000.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
We have considerably less work in hand in contracting compared with the same time last year. Margins remain disappointing.
Private residential sales numbers for the current financial year will be substantially less than the previous year.
Occupation and re-letting levels in our industrial properties remain buoyant. Letting of our office properties continues to be difficult.
Uncertainties generated by the ongoing political/economic situation may well reduce property values by the end of the current financial year which, under the rules of the International Financial Reporting Standards, would have a negative effect on headline results for the year.
While it is not possible to make an accurate forecast of the year end figures it is evident that because of costs arising from redundancies and reduced turnover in the second half of the financial year we will not achieve last year's underlying profit.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months to 31st January 2017 have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months to 31st January 2017 do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year to 31st July 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except where the measurement of balances at fair value is required for investment properties, available for sale financial assets and assets held by defined benefit pension scheme.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31st July 2016, with the exception of the policies regarding the accounting for pension scheme obligations and investment properties revaluations.
For the condensed consolidated interim financial statements the assets and liabilities of the pension scheme are estimated to be unchanged from the values included at the previous year end. Also, in accordance with long standing practice, the Group's investment properties are revalued annually on 31st July each year. No revaluation adjustment is made in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Interpretations effective in period
There are no new standards or amendments to standards or interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board which are mandatory for the Group for the first time in the financial year to 31st July 2017.
Estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future that may affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and income and expenses. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these accounts are reasonable. However, actual outcomes may differ from those anticipated.
Going concern
The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and Group as a whole have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of not less than twelve months from the date of these accounts. For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
3. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risks and uncertainties which could have a material impact on the Group's performance for the remainder of the current financial year remain the same as those detailed in the Group's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year to 31st July 2016.
4. SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
The Group has identified operating segments on the basis of internal reporting components that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to allow the allocation of resources to segments and assess their performance. The Board of Directors has been recognised as the chief operating decision maker.
All revenue arises from activities within the UK and therefore the Board of Directors does not consider the business from a geographical perspective. The operating segments are based on activity and performance of an operating segment is based on a measure of operating results.

There is no difference between basic and diluted earnings per share.
8. FAIR VALUE ASSETS
The Group's investment properties, available for sale financial assets and assets held by defined benefit pension scheme are measured at fair value after initial recognition.
Investment properties are only valued annually by the Directors at the year end and not for the purposes of the interim financial statements. The Group considers all of its investment properties fall within 'Level 3' of the fair value hierarchy as described by IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement. Level 3 valuations are those using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. The main unobservable inputs relate to estimated rental value and equivalent yield.
The Group's available for sale financial assets consisted entirely of equities of companies listed on quoted markets which fall within 'Level 1' of the fair value hierarchy. Assets held by defined benefit pension scheme consist of equities and bond of companies listed on quoted markets and cash which all fall within 'Level 1' of the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 valuations are those using inputs which are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company can access at the period end date.
