Mortgages of GBP924,373 exist on t he f o ur properties held by Sel mat. T he shares of t he Gro up are q u oted on the L o n don Stock Ex c h a nge A IM mar ket.
T h e principal activity of t he Gro up co ntin ues to be t hat of h o me b u ilding and property develo p ment a nd t he co ns olidated results of the y ear 's tradin g, are sh o wn below. T he co ns olidated lo ss f or the year was GBP 329,194 (20 20: L o ss GBP 1,022,898) after taking i nto acco u nt e xceptional ite ms as m e ntio ned in n ote 19 to the acco unts.
Principal risks & uncertainties

T he facto rs d is c u s sed below s h o uld n ot be re gar ded as a co mplete a nd co m pr e h e n s i ve s tat e m e nt of all potential risks a nd u ncertainties fac i ng t he Gro u p.
T h e principal risks and uncer tainties fac i ng the Gro up are:
1 . Direct co sts m ay e scalate and eat into g ro ss pro fit mar gin s.
2 . Heavy o ver heads m ay be i n c u rred especially w hen pro jects have been co m pleted a nd bef ore others have been co m menced.
3 . T he Gro up co uld commit too mu ch to future capital projects. 4 . T he Gro u p 's reliance on k ey m e m bers of sta f f.
5 . T he mar ket m ay deteriorate, d a maging liquidity of the Group and f u t u re rev e nu e s. T he Gro up co nsiders that it m itigates th e se ris ks with t he f oll o w i ng policies a nd actio n s:
1 . T he Gro up af f ords its ban kers and other len ders a stro ng level of a sset and i nco me co ver a nd m aintains g ood relatio nships with a range of f u n ding s o u rces f r om w h ich it is able to sec u re f i nance on fav o u rable ter m s.
2 . Direct co sts are o uts ourced on a f i xed price co ntract basis, thereby passing on to the co ntractor all risk of co st o ver s pen d, incl u d i ng f r om i ncrea sed material, labo ur or other co sts.
3 . Mo st other pro fessio nal ser v ices are also o uts o u rced, th us pro viding a k n o wn f i xed co st bef ore any pr o ject is tak en f o r ward and av oiding t he risk t hat can ar i se in e m plo ying i n - h o use pro fes sio nals at a high un prod ucti ve o ver head at ti mes w h en acti vity is slac k.
4 . Buying decisions for capital projects are taken at Board level, after careful research by the Directors per s o nall y, who have substantial experience in various business sectors and markets.
T h e Gro up has f ocused on a nic he mar ket sector of n ew h o me develo p m e nts in t he ran ge of fo ur to t w e n ty un its. With in this u nit size, co m petition to p u rchase devel op m e nt sites f r om la nd bu yers is relatively wea k, as t his size is unattractive to maj or natio nal a nd r e gio nal h o use b uilders w ho req uire a lar ger scale to j us tify their ad m i n i stration a nd o ver head s, w hil st being too m a ny u n i ts f or the s maller in depen dent b uilder to fin a n ce or u n dertake as a pro ject. Many competitors who also focus on this niche have yet to recapitalise and are unable to raise finance.
5 . Many of the acti vities are outs o u rced and each of t he Directors is f ully a ware of t he activities of all m e m ber s.
6 . T he Gro up has a corporate g o ver nance policy appropriate f or a small p u blicly listed c o m p a ny with a m bitions s u b sta ntially to raise its pro file wit hin t he wider i nv e stor co mm u nit y.

T h e year un der review was n ot wit h o ut its difficulties. In t he residential division dela ys o ccu rred on the b uilding pro g ramme f or the vario us p r operties that were still in the co u r se of co nstr uctio n, or being fin i shed o ff, with co ntractors appointed to co m plete the w orks b ut u nable to f ollow the ti metable laid d o wn f or co m pletion of th o se w or ks.

During the year all remaining 6 units at the Sheerness site sold.
Cu rr ently t he Gro up h olds f o ur rented properties within its subsidiary. These properties valued at GBP 1,975,0 00 as inv e s t m e nt properties have generated rental income and are let on Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements, generating rental income substantially in excess of the borrowing cost of each property.
W h ilst T R+ co nti n ue to id e n tify a nd sec u re n ew land opportun ities f or e xtra/care a nd as sisted liv i n g, t h ey are eq ually f o c used on obtain i ng a s ucces s f ul o utco me on sites c u rrently un der option an d/or in f or plan n i n g.

Optio ns h a ve been sec u red for residential develo p ment in A s htead, & Ep s o m and subsequently sold for profit during the year. Going forward options still remain on Leather head and Send but planning has not been forthcoming and this is now lodged for appeal.

INDEPENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TRAFALGAR PROPERTY GROUP PLC
f o r t he y ear e n d ed 31 M a r ch 2021
For the purpose of this report, the terms "we" and "our" denote MHA MacIntyre Hudson in relation to UK legal, professional and regulatory responsibilities and reporting obligations to the members of Trafalgar Property Group plc. For the purposes of the table on pages 14 to 15 that sets out the key audit matters and how our audit addressed the key audit matters, the terms "we" and "our" refer to MHA MacIntyre Hudson. The Group financial statements, as defined below, consolidate the accounts of Trafalgar Property Group plc and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). The "Parent Company" is defined as Trafalgar Property Group plc. The relevant legislation governing the Parent Company is the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006 ("Companies Act 2006").
Our opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Trafalgar Property Group plc for the year ended 31 March 2021.
The financial statements that we have audited comprise:
-- Group Income Statement and Statement of Comprehensive Income. -- Group and Company Statements of Financial Position -- Group and Company Statements of Changes In Equity -- Group Statements of Cash Flows
-- Notes 1 to 21 of the consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies & notes 1 to 14 of the parent company financial statements, including the accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-- give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent Company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and the Group's loss for the year then ended.
-- have been properly prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards and international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and
-- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Our opinion is consistent with our reporting to the Directors.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with those requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw your attention to the going concern section of the accounting policies in the financial statements which states that the Group incurred substantial losses during the year and the continued requirements for successful future equity or debt fund raising. The impact of this together with other matters set out in the note, indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Our evaluation of the Directors' assessment of the Group and Parent Company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:
-- The consideration of inherent risks to the Company's operations and specifically its business model.
-- The evaluation of how those risks might impact on the Company's available financial resources.
-- Where additional resources may be required the reasonableness and practicality of the assumptions made by the Directors when assessing the probability and likelihood of those resources becoming available.
-- Liquidity considerations including examination of cash flow projections.
-- Solvency considerations including examination of budgets and forecasts and their basis of preparation, including review and assessment of the model's mechanical accuracy and the reasonableness of assumptions included within.
-- Consideration of availability of funds required to settle funding facilities due for repayment during the going concern review period. Assessing the reasonableness and practicality of the mitigation measures identified by management in their conservative case scenario and considered by them in arriving at their conclusions about the existence of any uncertainties in respect of going concern.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Overview of our audit approach
Materiality 2021 2020 ------------------ -------------------------- ------------------------- --------------------- Group GBP58,500 GBP68,000 2% of Gross Assets Parent GBP22,000 GBP7,000 2% of Gross Assets Key Audit Matters ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- Group * Undisclosed Related Party Transactions ------------------ -------------------------------------------------------
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included those matters which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team and, as required for public interest entities, our results from those procedures. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Undisclosed Related Party Transactions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key audit The Group enters into a significant number of matter description transactions with related parties, both intra-group transactions and with individuals related to the Group. There is a risk that transactions (particularly any transactions which are not at arm's length) and balances with related parties are undisclosed. ------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- How the scope Our procedures included an assessment of the presentation of our audit of related party transactions in the financial responded to statements, this focused primarily on the Directors the key audit loan accounts. matter We reviewed movements on these balances in the year and vouched items to supporting evidence. We discussed with management the nature and purpose of these items and considered whether disclosure sufficiently addressed these matters. In addition, we obtained written confirmations of the balances from all disclosed parties and confirmed key terms to agreements. ------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- Key observations We concluded that the classification and disclosure of related party transactions is complete and appropriate. ------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
Our application of materiality
Our definition of materiality considers the value of error or omission on the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, would change or influence the economic decision of a reasonably knowledgeable user of those financial statements. Misstatements below these levels will not necessarily be evaluated as immaterial as we also take account of the nature of identified misstatements, and the particular circumstances of their occurrence, when evaluating their effect on the financial statements as a whole. Materiality is used in planning the scope of our work, executing that work and evaluating the results.
Materiality in respect of the Group was set at GBP58,500 (2020: GBP68,000) which was determined based on 2% of gross assets in both years. Gross assets were deemed to be the most appropriate metric for materiality as this is primarily what the users of the financial statements are concerned with.
Performance materiality is the application of materiality at the individual account or balance level, set at an amount to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality for the financial statements as a whole.
Performance materiality for the Group was set at GBP35,100 (2019: GBP40,800) which represents 60% (2020: 60%) of the above materiality levels.
The determination of performance materiality reflects our assessment of the risk of undetected errors existing, the nature of the systems and controls and the level of misstatements arising in previous audits.
Materiality in respect of the parent was set at GBP 22,000 (2020: GBP7,000) which was determined based on 2% of gross assets. Performance materiality for the parent company was set at GBP13,200 (2020: GBP4,200) which represents 60% (2020: 60%) of the above materiality levels.
We agreed to report any corrected or uncorrected adjustments exceeding GBP2,925 to the directors as well as differences below this threshold that in our view warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.
The scope of our audit
Our Group audit was scoped by obtaining an understanding of the Group and its environment, including the Group's system of internal control, and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including assessing whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that may have represented a risk of material misstatement.
The Group consists of 6 reporting components all of which were considered to be significant components of the Group, Trafalgar Property Group Plc, Trafalgar New Homes Limited, Trafalgar Retirement + Limited, Combe Bank Hones (Oakhurst) Limited, Combe Homes (Borough Green) Ltd and Selmat Limited. The significant components were subjected to full scope audits for the purposes of our audit report on the Group financial statements.
Reporting on other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial
statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-- the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-- the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received by branches not visited by us; or
-- the financial statements of the Parent Company are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or -- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-- Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Group operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act 2006, AIM regulations and applicable tax legislation. In addition, we considered compliance with the UK Bribery Act and employee legislation, as fundamental to the Group's operations.
-- Enquiry of management to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-- Enquiry of management around actual and potential litigation and claims. -- Enquiry of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims. -- Enquiry of management to identify any instances of known or suspected instances of fraud.
-- Discussing among the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
-- Reading key correspondence with regulatory authorities such as the Financial Reporting Council.
-- Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; and
-- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates, in particular with respect to the valuations of investments and bonds.
A further description of our responsibilities for the financial statements is located on the FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities . This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ST ANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFEC T IVE
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (issued January 2020)
The amendments clarify that the classification of a liability as current or non-current is based only on rights existing at the end of the reporting period and the classification is not affected by expectations about whether rights to settle or defer a liability will be exercised. Further, the amendments clarify that the settlement of a liability refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. This amendment only affects presentation.
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.
The Group does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from these amendments.
Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (issued in May 2020)
The amendments require any proceeds from selling items produced (and related production costs) in the course of bringing an item property, plant and equipment into operation to be recognised in profit or loss clarifying that such items are not reflected in the cost of the asset.
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.
The Group does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from these amendments.
Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (issued in May 2020)
The amendments clarify that the cost of fulfilling a contract are costs that relate directly to that contract. Such costs can be the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract or an allocation of other costs directly related to fulfilling that contract.
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.
The Group does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from these amendments.
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 (issued in August 2020)
The amendments are aimed at helping companies to provide investors with useful information about the effects of the reform of interest rate benchmarks on those companies' financial statements.
The amendments complement those issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform.
The Phase 2 amendments relate to:
-- changes to contractual cash flows -a company will not have to derecognise or adjust the carrying amount of financial instruments for changes required by the reform, but will instead update the effective interest rate to reflect the change to the alternative benchmark rate;
-- hedge accounting -a company will not have to discontinue its hedge accounting solely because it makes changes required by the reform, if the hedge meets other hedge accounting criteria; and
-- disclosures -a company is required to disclose information about new risks arising from the reform and how it manages the transition to alternative benchmark rates.
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.
The Group does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from these amendments.
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting Policies (issued in February 2021)
The amendments enhance the disclosure requirements relating to an entity's accounting policies and clarify that the notes to a complete set of financial statements are required to include material accounting policy information. Material accounting policy information, when considered with other information included in the financial statements, can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of financial statements make on the basis of the financial statements
The amendments help preparers determine what constitutes material accounting policy information and notes that accounting policy information which focuses on how IFRS has been applied to its own circumstances is more useful for users of financial statements than standardised information or information duplicating the requirements of IFRS.
The amendment also states that immaterial accounting policy information need not be disclosed but when it is disclosed it shall not obscure material accounting policy information. Further, if accounting policy information is not deemed material this does not affect the materiality of related disclosure requirements of IFRS.
The disclosure of judgements made in applying accounting policies should reflect those that have had the most significant effect on items recognised in the financial statements.
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.
Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates (issued in February 2021)
The amendments define accounting estimates as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. An accounting policy may require an item in financial statements to be measured at a monetary amount that cannot be observed directly so that in order to achieve the objective of an accounting policy, an estimation is required.
The amendments state that the development of an accounting estimate requires the use of judgement or assumptions based on the latest available reliable information and involve the use of measurement techniques and inputs. Accounting estimates might then need to change as a result of new information, new developments or more experience.
A change in input or measurement technique is a change in accounting estimate which is applied prospectively unless the change results from the correction of prior period errors.
The amendment is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and is not yet endorsed for use undertheCompaniesAct2006.
Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (issued 7 May 2021)
The amendments specify how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations.
In specified circumstances, companies are exempt from recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities for the first time. Previously, there had been some uncertainty about whether the exemption applied to transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations-transactions for which companies recognise both an asset and a liability.
The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply and that companies are required to recognise deferred tax on such transactions. The aim of the amendments is to reduce diversity in the reporting of deferred tax on leases and decommissioning obligations.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, with early application permitted and is not yet endorsed for use under the Companies Act 2006.

On 13 July, 2020 the Company undertook a sub-division of its ordinary shares, which sub divided the 487,690,380 ordinary shares of 0.1p each into 487,690,380 ordinary shares of 0.01p each and 487,690,380 deferred shares of 0.09p each. The deferred shares of 0.09p each were consolidated into deferred shares of 0.9p each ranking pari passu as one class with the existing deferred shares of 0.9p each.
On 14 July 2020, 937,500,000 ordinary shares of 0.01p each were issued under a placing at 0.08p each (at a premium of 0.07p per share) to raise GBP750,000 before costs of GBP 66,863.
In addition, on 14 July 2020, warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares of 0.01p were granted as follows:
(a) Subscribers to the placing were granted warrants to subscribe for up to 937,500,000 shares for a period of two years, exercisable at 0.2p per share;
(b) Peterhouse Capital Limited was granted warrants to subscribe for shares equivalent up to 3% of the issued ordinary share capital for time to time, exercisable for a period of two years, at 0.08p per share.
Following the consolidation of ordinary shares in December 2020, the warrants have been adjusted and comprise placee warrants to subscribe for up to 93,750,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p at 2p per share, and the warrants held by Peterhouse Capital Limited are exercisable at 0.8p per share.
In relation to the granting of these warrants to Peterhouse Capital Limited, these fall under the requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and as such are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. At the grant date of these warrants these are valued using a Black Scholes model to determine the intrinsic value of the warrant and a liability is recognized for this amount with a corresponding expense through the income statement. The Directors' have concluded that the intrinsic value of the warrant as at 31 March 2021 is not material to the results and subsequent movements in the share price have decreased this value further. As such no accounting entries have been made to these results.
Further on 14 July 2020, GBP 600,000 of convertible loan notes were issued to Mr C C Johnson as part of arrangements to reorganize loans between him and the Group. The notes are repayable on 31 July 2022 and are convertible at any time into 300,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.01p at 0.2p per share. On conversion, warrants to subscribe for up to 300,000,000 ordinary shares will be granted to Mr C C Johnson exercisable for a period of two years from the date of grant at 0.2p per share. Following the consolidation of ordinary shares in December 2020, the loan notes have been adjusted and are convertible into 30,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p at 2p per share, with warrants to be granted to subscribe for up to 30,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p each at 2p per share.
The convertible loan notes have been accounted for as having both a debt and an equity element. This results in the creation of a loan note equity reserve at the point of issue. This loan note equity reserve is the difference between the loan note value received by the company of GBP 600,000 and the fair value of a debt only instrument with a 10% imputed interest rate and a final settlement figure of GBP 600,000 in July 2022. This 10% imputed interest rate of GBP 33,058 (2020: nil), is managements' best estimate as to the interest rate that would be expected from the market for an unsecured loan of GBP 600,000 without a conversion element.

On 13 July 2020 the Company undertook a sub-division of its ordinary shares, which sub divided the 487,690,380 0.1p ordinary shares of 0.1p each into 487,690,380 ordinary shares of 0.01p each and 487,690,380 0.09p deferred shares of 0.09p each. The 0.09p deferred shares of 0.09p each were consolidated into deferred shares of 0.9p each ranking pari passu as one class with the existing deferred shares of 0.9p each.
On 14 July 2020, 937,500,000 ordinary shares of 0.01p each were issued under a placing at 0.08p each (at a premium of 0.07p per share) to raise GBP 750,000 before costs of GBP 66,863.
In addition, on 14 July 2020 warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares of 0.01p were granted as follows:
(a) Subscribers to the placing were granted warrants to subscribe for up to 937,500,000 shares for a period of two years, exercisable at 0.2p per share;
(b) Peterhouse Capital Limited was granted warrants to subscribe for shares equivalent up to 3% of the issued ordinary share capital from time to time, exercisable for a period of two years, at 0.08p per share.
Following the consolidation of ordinary shares in December 2020, the warrants have been adjusted and comprise placee warrants to subscribe for up to 93,750,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p at 2p per share, and the warrants held by Peterhouse Capital Limited are exercisable at 0.8p per share.
In relation to the granting of these warrants to Peterhouse Capital Limited, these fall under the requirements of IAS 39 Financial Instruments and as such are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. At the grant date of these warrants these are valued using a Black Scholes model to determine the intrinsic value of the warrant and a liability is recognized for this amount with a corresponding expense through the income statement. The Directors' have concluded that the intrinsic value of the warrant as at 31 March 2021 is not material to the results and subsequent movements in the share price have decreased this value further. As such no accounting entries have been made to these results.
Further on 14 July 2020 GBP 600,000 of convertible loan notes were issued to Mr C C Johnson as part of arrangements to reorganise loans between him and the Group. The notes are repayable on 31 July 2022 and are convertible at any time into 300,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.01p at 0.2p per share. On conversion, warrants to subscribe for up to 300,000,000 ordinary shares will be granted to Mr C C Johnson exercisable for a period of two years from the date of grant at 0.2p per share. Following the consolidation of ordinary shares in December 2020, the loan notes have been adjusted and are convertible into 30,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p at 2p per share, with warrants to be granted to subscribe for up to 30,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p each at 2p per share, with warrants to be granted to subscribe for up to 30,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p each at 2p per share.
The convertible loan notes have been accounted for as having both a debt and an equity element. This results in the creation of a loan note equity reserve at the point of issue. This loan note equity reserve is the difference between the loan note value received by the company of GBP 600,000 and the fair value of a debt only instrument with a 10% imputed interest rate and a final settlement figure of GBP 600,000 in July 2022. This 10% imputed interest rate is managements' best estimate as to the interest rate that would be expected from the market for an unsecured loan of GBP 600,000 without a conversion element.

H o l d ers of def e r red sh a res are not entitled to any further rights of participation in the assets of the Company. The Company has the right to purchase the deferred shares in issue at any time for no consideration.
On 29 December 2020 for every ten of the 1,425,190,380 ordinary shares of 0.01p then in issue, were consolidated into one ordinary share of 0.1p resulting in there being 142,519,038 ordinary shares of 0.1p in issue.
