INTERIM REPORT
FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO
31st JANUARY 2018
J SMART & CO. (CONTRACTORS) PLC
CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
INTERIM REPORT
Unaudited Group profit for the six months to 31st January 2018 amounted to GBP921,000 compared with GBP652,000 for the corresponding period last year. Group turnover decreased by 31%.
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 substantial effect on the figures.
There were no private residential sales this half year as the first completions at our current private housing development at West Bowling Green Street, Edinburgh are not due until after the end of the current financial year.
The second phases of the industrial developments at Inchwood Park, Bathgate and West Edinburgh Business Park are now complete.
Our serviced office company, Smart Serviced Offices Limited, has refurbished a further suite at Links Place, Leith, Edinburgh to provide co-working accommodation.
The current site progress is satisfactory.
INTERIM DIVID
The Board announces an interim dividend of 0.95p per share (2017, 0.95p) to be paid on 1st June 2018 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 11th May 2018. The interim dividend will cost the Company no more than GBP423,000.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
We have less work in hand in contracting than the same time last year. Margins are no better than last year. Our social housing contract at Ferrymuir, as predicted, has been unnecessarily delayed, but will start imminently.
There will be no private residential sales this financial year, but the interest in the first release of flats at West Bowling Green Street has been positive.
The letting and re-letting of the majority of our industrial properties continues to be buoyant. The first phase of our joint venture industrial development at Gartcosh is due to start in the near future. Lettings of our office properties has seen a welcome, but marginal, improvement.
It is not possible to make an accurate forecast of the year end figures, but it is evident that our reduced turnover will result in the underlying profit for the financial year being less than the previous year.

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
J. Smart & Co. (Contractors) PLC is a company domiciled in the United Kingdom. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 31st January 2018 comprise the Company and its Subsidiaries, together referred to as the Group, and the Group's interest in jointly controlled entities.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months to 31st January 2018 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 2018 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 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
The statutory financial statements for the year to 31st July 2017 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies and a copy may be obtained from Companies House. These have been audited and contain an unqualified audit opinion, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditor. A copy of the interim financial statements will be available on the Company's website www.jsmart.co.uk.
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 2017, 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
The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations relevant to the Group were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and are mandatory for the Group for the first time in the financial year to 31st July 2018:
-- IAS 7 (amended): Statement of Cash Flows. -- IAS 12 (amended): Income Taxes.
The Directors anticipate that there will be no material effect on the financial statements from these Standards.
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 2017.
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.

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.
