STEWART & WIGHT PLC - HALF YEARLY REPORT TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2016

Chairman's Statement

I have to report that the Company made a net loss of GBP101,976 after expenses and taxation for the half-year to 30 September 2016 compared with a profit of GBP522,125 for the similar period in 2015. The loss was due to a lower revaluation of the company's portfolio as at 30 September 2016 compared with the valuation of 31 March 2016. The revaluation was carried out by the Board of your company and had regard to the uncertainties of the market and the shortening of the lengths of the leases of the properties held in the portfolio. The value of the properties owned throughout the half year (excluding those purchased or sold) decreased by 0.3 per cent.

Gross rental income from the Company's properties increased from GBP421,177 to GBP442,107. Property operating expenses were slightly higher at GBP14,080 from GBP12,905. Administrative expenses were lower at GBP45,597 compared with GBP51,931. All of the Company's tenants are up to date with their rents and there are no vacancies in the portfolio.

During the half year, the Company sold both its properties in South Shields resulting in a gain of GBP9,965 over the total book values. In April this year, a freehold retail property in Truro let to TReds was purchased at a total cost of GBP795,000. The rent receivable is GBP75,000 per annum but this is likely to reduce when the lease expires in 2019.

The Board continues in its policy to acquire further properties and since the end of the half year a property in a prime position in High Street Barnstable let to Costa has been purchased at the price of GBP1,130,000 plus expenses. The rent receivable is GBP85,000 per annum and again the rent is likely to reduce when the lease expires in 2018. In order to fund this purchase, the company has borrowed a further GBP1,000,000 from Barclays Bank.

The net asset value of the Company's shares fell from GBP7.13 per share as at 31 March to GBP6.96 as at 30 September 2016.

The Board has decided to leave a decision as to the payment of an interim divided until early in 2017.
