Regional REIT ZDP PLC
14 September 2017
Regional REIT ZDP PLC
Interim Report for the nine months ended 30 June 2017 (Unaudited)
MANAGEMENT REPORT
Regional REIT ZDP PLC (the "Company"), was incorporated on 28 November 2013 and is registered in England and Wales. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Regional Commercial Midco Limited ("Midco"), a company incorporated in Jersey, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Regional REIT Limited (the "Group"), a Guernsey incorporated company. The Company has been engaged in the single economic activity of raising funds in order to provide financing to the Group.
On 24 March 2017, Midco acquired all of the issued ordinary shares in the Company and the Group assumed the Contribution Agreement to meet the financial obligations of the Company, including the ZDP Shares. The Contribution Agreement was novated from The Conygar Investment Company PLC to Midco. The Contribution Agreement with Midco provides an undertaking for the Group to pay any costs and expenses incurred by the Company and to enable the Company to meet its payment obligations in respect of the ZDP Shares. Although Midco has entered into an undertaking to meet all of the Company's liabilities as they fall due, it is important to note that all risks are borne by the ZDP Shareholders who are not guaranteed to receive their full ZDP Capital Entitlement.
On 24 March 2017, the Company also extended its accounting reference date from 30 September to 31 December to match the reporting dates of the Group. It is as a result of this change of accounting date that the Company is preparing and releasing this interim report for the nine months ended 30 June 2017.
The Company has a capital structure comprising unlisted ordinary shares and the zero dividend preference shares ("ZDP Shares") listed on the Official List and traded on the London Stock Exchange by way of a standard listing.
On 24 March 2017, Robert Ware, Nigel Hamway and Ross McCaskill each resigned as Directors. Following their resignations William Eason, Martin McKay and Stephen Inglis were appointed as Non-Executive Directors. On the same date, Ross McCaskill also resigned as Company Secretary and Capita Company Secretarial Services Limited were appointed as Company Secretary. RSM UK Audit LLP replaced Rees Pollock as the appointed auditors of the Company. Martin McKay subsequently resigned as a Non-Executive Director, on 7 July 2017, and Tim Bee was appointed in his stead.
The Company's principal investment objective is to provide the holders of the ZDP Shares with a predetermined final capital entitlement ("ZDP Capital Entitlement"). The Company was incorporated to be the issuer of the ZDP Shares, which are quoted on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: RGLZ).
On the scheduled repayment date, 9 January 2019, the ZDP Shareholders are entitled to receive a final capital entitlement of 132.9 pence per ZDP Share. This is an amount equal to 100 pence per share increased daily at an equivalent annual rate of 5.5% for the period 10 January 2014 to 23 March 2017; for the period 24 March 2017 until 9 January 2019, the ZDP Share equivalent annual rate is 6.5% per annum.
The Company will fulfil its investment objective through the Contribution Agreement it has with Midco and the Group will provide support to the Company in respect of the capital entitlement of the ZDP shareholders.
The principal risk the Company faces is that Midco will not have sufficient resources to meet the capital entitlement due to the ZDP shareholders. Other risks faced by the Company are considered to be the same as for the Group and these are defined in detail on pages 46 to 48 of the Regional REIT Limited Annual Report and Accounts 2016, which is available on the Group's website at www.regionalreit.com - Annual Report 2016.
The Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks and also believe that the Group will have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they have prepared this Interim Report on the going concern basis.
Position of the Company and Group covenants as at 30 June 2017
As at 30 June 2017, the Company maintained a positive position and the financing arrangements were performing as envisaged in the listing prospectus of January 2014. The Group comfortably met all of the conditions and obligations under the various arrangements. These conditions are tested quarterly and no breaches have occurred at any point since incorporation. The definitions and conditions of issue are set out in the listing prospectus, a copy of which is available on the Group's website at www.regionalreit.com.
As at 30 June 2017, the two primary Group covenants were:
1. Cover Test (not less than 3.5x) - Test Met
Cover Test: Means the ratio of the Net Asset Value plus the accrued Capital Entitlement to the ZDP Capital Entitlement must not be less than 3.5 times.
2. Investment Property Cover Test (not less than 2.5x) - Test Met
Investment Property Cover Test: Means the ratio of the aggregate value of the Group's investment properties plus cash and cash equivalents of any marketable securities to the ZDP Capital Entitlement must not be less than 2.5 times.

6. Zero dividend preference shares Nine months Nine months Year ended ended ended 30 June 30 June 30 September 2017 2016 2016 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 Balance at start of period 34,415 32,471 32,471 Amortisation of issue costs 100 100 134 Accrued capital 1,515 1,347 1,810 ------------ ------------ -------------- Balance at end of period 36,030 33,918 34,415 ============ ============ ==============
On 10 January 2014, the Company issued 30,000,000 ZDP Shares at GBP0.01 each per share. The ZDP Shares have an entitlement to receive a fixed cash amount on the maturity date of 9 January 2019, but do not receive any dividends or income distributions. Additional capital accrues to the ZDP Shares on a daily basis at a rate equivalent to 6.5% per annum post acquisition, 5.5% per annum pre-acquisition, resulting in a final capital entitlement of 132.9 pence per share. The ZDP Shares were listed on the London Stock Exchange on 10 January 2014.
During the nine months, the Company has accrued for GBP1,515,000 (nine months to 30 June 2016: GBP1,347,000; year ended 30 September 2016: GBP1,810,000) of additional capital. The total amount repayable at maturity will be GBP39,879,269.
The ZDP Shares do not carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company, although they carry the right to vote as a class on certain proposals which would be likely to materially affect their position. In the event of a winding-up of the Company, the capital entitlement of the ZDP Shares (except for any undistributed revenue profits) will rank ahead of ordinary shares but behind other creditors of the Company.
7. Earnings per share
The calculation of earnings per share is based on a loss after tax figure for the period of GBP1,657,000 (nine months to 30 June 2016: GBP1,469,000; year ended 30 September 2016: GBP1,966,000) and the weighted average number of 50,000 ordinary shares (nine months to 30 June 2016: 50,000; year ended 30 September 2016: 50,000) in issue during the period. The basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.
