Secured Property Developments plc
Chairman's statement
The predicted fallout earlier in the year from both Brexit and the US elections
failed to materialise with both the equity and property markets showing
positive signs of growth, up until, the announcement by the Government to hold
a General Election in June, which has added another element of uncertainty to
the markets.
This hasn't been helped by the inevitable protracted exit negotiations from the
European Union following the triggering of Article 50 which no doubt will be
put on hold until the result of the election is known.
The effects of the punitive levels of stamp duty on residential property both
at the top end of the market and the additional burden on the purchase of
second homes, have added to the increasing disadvantages of holding buy-to-let
investments with many investors switching to the commercial sector.
However, demand continues to outstrip supply in all areas making it difficult
to compete at the right level and while the forthcoming election may have more
of an impact on the equities and bond markets, it may well channel more buyers
into property.
There has also been speculation about a modest rise in interest rates in the
short term, following the expected rise in the US, which may result in a good
deal of volatility and a possible increase of forced sellers to provide
opportunities to invest.
While a number of opportunities have presented themselves to the Board, the
huge demand witnessed in the auction rooms and the widespread shortage of stock
in the private treaty market has proved challenging and prevented us from
recommending further investment at this stage.
We have in the meantime, following an EGM last September, financed the
development of a prime retail investment in York at an attractive rate of
return to offset our cost base in the short term.
With this in mind, we have also reviewed the cost of our annual audit and
appointed Lubbock Fine as our new Auditors and would like to thank KPMG for all
their valuable help and advice over the previous years.
Paul Stansfield has decided to retire from office and I would like to express
thanks on behalf of the Shareholders and Directors for his valuable
contribution to the development of the Company.
I would also like to thank my fellow Directors for their sterling efforts
throughout the year to act in the very best interests of our Shareholders.
We will continue to monitor the market and potential opportunities and are
hopeful of being able to secure something suitable during the course of the
year.
AGM
The Annual General Meeting will take place at the Royal Automobile Club, 89
Pall Mall, London SW1Y 5HS on Thursday 13 July 2017 at 11:00 am and the
Directors look forward to meeting those shareholders who can attend.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties (continued)
The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are interest rate
risk and liquidity risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing
each of these risks and they are summarised below.
Interest rate risk
The Group has no exposure at the present time to interest rate risk however the
Group's policy is to borrow at the lowest rates for periods that do not carry
excessive time premiums.
Liquidity risk
As regards liquidity, the Group's policy has throughout the year been to ensure
that the group is able at all times to meet its financial commitments as and
when they fall due.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the
financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each
financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the
financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law),
including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors
must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group
and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these
financial statements, the directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- ensure applicable UK accounting standards are followed subject to any
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are
sufficient to show and explain the Company's and the Group's transactions and
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
Company and the Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements
comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding
the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps
for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITOR
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as
defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the Group's auditor
is unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have
taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit
information and to establish that the Group's auditor is aware of that
information.
AUDITOR
The auditor, KPMG LLP, resigned and have been replaced by the Directors by
Lubbock Fine who will have their appointment confirmed and will be proposed for
re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

I Cobden - Secretary
Date: 22 May 2017
Report of the Independent Auditor to the Members of Secured Property
Developments plc
We have audited the financial statements of Secured Property Developments Plc
for the year ended 31 December 2016, set out on pages 10 to 27. The relevant
financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is the
Companies Act 2006 and the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard
102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland'.
This report is made solely to the Company's shareholders, 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 shareholders those
matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' 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
shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the
opinions we have formed.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement on page 7,
the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements
and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility
is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance
with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland).
Those standards require us to comply with the Financial Reporting Council's
Ethical Standards for Auditors.
SCOPE OF THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial
statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or
error. This includes an assessment of whether the accounting policies are
appropriate to the Company's circumstances and have been consistently applied
and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial
statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non?financial
information in the Directors' Report to identify material inconsistencies with
the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is
apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the
knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become
aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the
implications for our report.
OPINION ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In our opinion the financial statements:
· give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at
31 December 2016 and of its profit or loss for the year then ended;
· have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
· have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006.
OPINION ON OTHER MATTER 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the
financial statements are prepared is consistent with those financial statements
and such reports have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal
requirements.
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the Company and its
environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified
material misstatements in the Directors' Report.
Report of the Independent Auditor to the Members of Secured Property
Developments plc (continued)
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the
Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
· adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate
for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
· the financial statements 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2016
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Secured Property Developments plc (the "Company") is a public company limited
by shares and incorporated and domiciled in the UK. The address of the
Company's registered office is given in the company information page 1 of these
financial statements.
These Group and parent company financial statements were prepared in accordance
with Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"). The presentation
currency of these financial statements is sterling. All amounts in the
financial statements have been rounded to the nearest GBP1.
The transition to FRS 102 from old UK GAAP was made in the year ended 31st
December 2015 financial statements.
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial
Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK
and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements
have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for tangible
fixed assets measured in accordance with the revaluation model.
Turnover
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the Group in respect of services
supplied during the year and is measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other
sales taxes.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the
Company and its subsidiary undertakings made up to 31 December 2016. A
subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the parent. The results of
subsidiary undertakings are included in the consolidated profit and loss
account from the date that control commences until the date that control
ceases. Control is established when the Company has the power to govern the
operating and financial policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its
activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential
voting rights that are currently exercisable.
Under Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 the Company is exempt from the
requirement to present its own profit and loss account.
In the parent financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at
cost less impairment.
Classification of financial instruments issued by the group
In accordance with FRS 102.22, financial instruments issued by the group are
treated as equity only to the extent that they meet the following two
conditions:
a) they include no contractual obligations upon the group to deliver cash or
other financial assets or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities
with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the
group; and
b) where the instrument will or may be settled in the entity's own equity
instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to
deliver a variable number of the entity's own equity instruments or is a
derivative that will be settled by the entity exchanging a fixed amount of cash
or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued
for the Year Ended 31 December 2016
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Classification of financial instruments issued by the group (continued)
To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are
classified as a financial liability. Where the instrument so classified takes
the legal form of the entity's own shares, the amounts presented in these
financial statements for called up share capital and share premium account
exclude amounts in relation to those shares.
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental
income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are
recognised initially at cost.
Subsequent to initial recognition
i. investment properties whose fair value can be measured reliably without
undue cost or effort are held at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from
changes in the fair value are recognised in profit or loss in the period that
they arise; and
ii. no depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties applying
the fair value model.
If a reliable measure is not available without undue cost or effort for an item
of investment property, this item is thereafter accounted for as tangible fixed
assets in accordance with section 17 FRS 102 until a reliable measure of fair
value becomes available.
Current and deferred taxation
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax
is recognised in the profit and loss account except to the extent that it
relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income,
in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive
income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or
loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
years.
Deferred tax is provided on timing differences which arise from the inclusion
of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in
which they are recognised in the financial statements.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the
reversal of the related difference, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date. For investment property that is measured at
fair value, deferred tax is provided at the rates and allowances applicable to
the sale of the asset/property Deferred tax balances are not discounted.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the
extent that is it probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of
deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction
costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less any impairment.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued
for the Year Ended 31 December 2016
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions
repayable without penalty on notice of not more than three months. Cash
equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three
months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Financial Instruments
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that
result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and
other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to
related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one
year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially
measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are
payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors,
are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the
cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the
arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction,
like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or
financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an
out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability
is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted
at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at
amortised cost.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is
measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present
value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective
interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount
rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate
determined under the contract.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price. Other financial
liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and
are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.
2. JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION
UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts reported for
assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported
for revenue and expenses during the year. However, the nature of the estimation
means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. There are no key
sources of estimation uncertainty.
