Managing Director's Statement

I am delighted to report a strong six months to 30 September 2015. Safeland has generated a significant increase in both turnover and profit. This period has been positively impacted by the completion of a number of developments, including two phases of the Wimbledon development, the last phases of which are due for completion in the second half of the year. Shareholders should be aware that this is to some extent a function of timing of completions of projects and does not necessarily reflect potential second half performance.

The Board continues to focus on maximising the value of stock held, through obtaining planning consents and then developing the properties for onward sale.

During the period, the Company participated in a placing of shares by Safestay plc, acquiring 1,070,864 shares in Safestay at a cost of GBP663,935, bringing its total holding to 1,420,864, representing 4.3% of Safestay's issued share capital.

On 25 September 2015, the Company paid a final dividend of 1.75p per share for the year ended 31 March 2015. I am pleased to announce that the Board has declared an interim dividend for the six months ended 30 September 2015 of 1.5p per share payable on 18 December 2015 to shareholders on the register on 27 November 2015.

Outlook

The property market is at extremely high levels, with conflicting signs. On the one hand record prices are being achieved, whilst there are also signs of strong resistance to these levels in certain sectors, leading to pockets of stagnation. It is difficult to anticipate the true substance of the underlying strength of the market, and whilst the Board is confident it has the skills necessary to continue to make opportunistic acquisitions in any market, its current approach is to be very selective in what may prove to be too aggressive an environment.

   1.      Basis of preparation and accounting policies 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") for the six months ended 30 September 2015 ("the period") have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in the condensed set of financial statements as applied in the Group's latest audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2015. This half year statement does not constitute full accounts as defined by Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006

These condensed interim financial statements have not been audited, do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2015.
