Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2016

PSPI (AIM: PSPI), the former specialist real estate investment and financing company, announces unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

Highlights

   A.   Material transactions 

-- In March 2016 the Company completed the sale of a German investment property for a gross sale vale of EUR3.0 million.

-- In April 2016 the Company completed the sale of its three remaining German investment properties for a gross sales value of EUR10.0 million.

-- In June 2016 the Company announced a compulsory partial redemption of 99 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital on a pro-rata basis at a price of 51.0 pence per ordinary share. The transaction completed in early July 2016 with the return of approximately GBP11.5 million to shareholders.

   B.   Financial results 

-- The profit from continuing and discontinued operations is reported at GBP0.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016 compared to a loss GBP3.0 million for the first six months of 2015.

-- Administrative costs from continuing operations for the six months ended 30 June 2016 were GBP0.3 million which was 33% lower than the equivalent period in 2015.

-- The Company had cash balances of GBP12.9 million at 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015 - GBP6.1 million) and net assets of GBP12.7 million (31 December 2015 - GBP12.4 million).

-- The net asset value per share at 30 June 2016 was 55.8 pence per share (31 December 2015 was 54.4 pence per share), which was stated before the compulsory partial redemption of shares noted above.

-- Adjusting the reported unaudited net assets at 30 June 2016 for the funds repaid to shareholders in July 2016 and using the number of shares in issue today results in an adjusted net asset value of approximately 531.5 pence per share. Please note that this adjusted net asset value per share does not take into account any costs incurred in excess of the accruals reflected in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet at 30 June 2016.

Patrick Hall, the Chairman of PSPI, commented:

"The Company is pleased to announce the completion of the disposal of the last investment properties during the first half of the year. While the Company expects that it will be able to complete a final return of capital before the end of the first quarter 2017, it is exploring ways in which it can accelerate this process. In the meantime, the Company has taken steps to minimise operating costs going forward."

Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report the Group's unaudited consolidated financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

Update on strategic review

The Company completed the disposal of its remaining German investment properties during the first half of 2016. The Company also completed the return of approximately GBP11.5 million to shareholders in early July 2016 through a compulsory redemption of shares. This followed two similar transactions in 2015 that returned approximately GBP21.6 million to shareholders.

Following completion of the most recent compulsory redemption of shares, the Company has 227,655 shares in issue which, based on the unaudited consolidated results at 30 June 2016 less the funds returned to shareholders in July, reflect a net asset value per share of approximately 531.5 pence per share(1).

Current operations

The Company is working through the voluntary winding up of its now dormant subsidiaries. The Company has outstanding contingent liabilities in respect of the sale of German assets in 2015 and 2016 at a maximum aggregate amount of EUR1.5 million. The Company does not expect to receive any claims under representations and warranties given as part of the sale of asset documentation.

While the Company expects that it will be able to complete a final return of capital before the end of the first quarter of 2017, it is exploring ways in which it can accelerate this process. In the meantime, the Company has taken steps to minimise operating costs going forward.

The Asset Manager's Review below describes the financial results for the first half of 2016 in more detail.

Asset Manager's Review

Business Outlook

The Chairman has confirmed that the Company's remaining property portfolio was sold during the first half of 2016 which has substantially completed the objectives of the strategic review.

The Company has used the net proceeds received from the sales to return approximately GBP33.1 million of capital to shareholders via three partial compulsory redemption of share transactions which completed in April 2015, November 2015 and July 2016.

As a result of these transactions, the Company is left with net assets of approximately GBP1.2 million, some of which will be used to settle various legal and administrative costs as the Company liquidates its now dormant subsidiaries, subject to any legal restrictions relating to the entities that made representations and gave warranties under the various sale transaction documentation.

The Company has taken steps to minimise operating costs going forward as detailed below.

Financial Review

The comparative figures in the interim condensed consolidated income statement have been re-stated to reflect the results of discontinued operations. Please refer to note 12 of this report for those items categorised as relating to discontinued operations.

The Company is reporting a net profit of GBP0.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016 compared to a loss of GBP3.0 million for the first six months of 2015. The results are stated after net gains on the movement of foreign exchange rates of GBP1.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016 compared to net foreign exchange rate losses of GBP1.6 million for the equivalent period in 2015. The gain arises from the weakening of sterling against the Euro since the start of 2016, primarily as a result of the impact of uncertainty leading up to the UK referendum on its membership of the European Union.

The Company was able to convert the majority of its Euro net proceeds from the sale of German assets after sterling had started to weaken. As a result, the majority of the gain on changes in foreign exchange rates has been crystallised with approximately 98% of the Company's cash balances in sterling at 30 June 2016. The cash retained in Euros is expected to be sufficient to meet future expenses denominated in Euros.

Administration costs not allocated to discontinued operations were GBP0.35 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016, 33% lower than the corresponding period in 2015. Within the total of administration costs, management fees were 65% lower than the corresponding period in 2015 at GBP0.09 million and are expected to be 50% lower in the second half than in the first half of the year. Professional fees were largely unchanged at GBP0.18 million for the first six months of 2016 and 2015; however, the costs for the second half of 2016 should also be lower following the reduction the number of Board members from five to three, a 50% reduction in fees paid to the remaining Board members from 1 July 2016 and reduced provisions for audit costs in the second half of 2016.

The Group had cash balances of GBP12.9 million at 30 June 2016, of which GBP11.5 million was used to repay shareholders in early July 2016 on completion of the third compulsory partial redemption of shares. The Company had no debt at 30 June 2016 and had accrued liabilities of approximately GBP0.23 million.

Total equity at 30 June 2016 was stated at GBP12.7 million compared to GBP12.4 million at 31 December 2015. The Net Asset Value per share(1) ("NAV") at 30 June 2016 was 55.8 pence per share compared to 54.4 pence per share at 31 December 2015.

On 7 July 2016 the Company repurchased 99% of the outstanding shares in the third compulsory partial redemption of shares. The Company redeemed 22.5 million shares at a price of 51.0 pence per share, which presented an 8.6% discount to the NAV at 30 June 2016. As a result, adjusting the reported unaudited net asset value at 30 June 2016 for the funds repaid to shareholders in July 2016 and using the number of shares in issue today results in an adjusted net asset value per share of approximately 531.5 pence per share. Please note that this adjusted net asset value per share does not take into account any costs incurred in excess of the accruals reflected in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet at 30 June 2016.

INTERIM CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIODED 30 JUNE 2016

   1.     GENERAL INFORMATION 

Public Service Properties Investments Limited was incorporated in 2001, is domiciled in the British Virgin Islands (registered office at Nerine Chambers, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands) and is the parent company of the PSPI Group. Public Service Properties Investments Limited and its subsidiaries (together "the Group" or "the Company"), was an investment property group with a portfolio in Germany. At 31 December 2015 the Group owned four investment properties in Germany which were presented as held for sale and their results for the year treated as discontinued operations. During the six months ended 30 June 2016 these sales successfully completed and, as such, the Group holds no investment properties at 30 June 2016. The Group has given a number of representations and warranties in respect of the various sale transactions.

   2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

   2.1   Basis of preparation 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are reported in Pound Sterling unless otherwise stated.

These interim condensed financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016 and the comparative figures for the six months ended 30 June 2015 are unaudited. The extracts from the Group's Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 represent an abbreviated version of the Group's full accounts for that year, on which the Auditors issued an unqualified audit report.

Comparative information in the interim condensed consolidated income statement for the period ended 30 June 2015 has been restated in order to be consistent with the presentation of certain items as discontinued in 2016 as detailed in Note 12.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties, other financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results can differ from those estimates. Critical judgments made by management in the application of IFRS and key sources of estimation uncertainties were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015. Income tax expense, if applicable, is recognised based upon the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the financial year.

The accounting policies and valuation principles adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

The Group has adopted the following, new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations annual improvements for the six months ended 30 June 2016, which do not have significant impact on the interim consolidated financial statements.

Annual improvements 2010-2012 (effective 1 July 2014)

Annual improvements 2011-2013 (effective 1 July 2014)

Amendment to IAS 19, 'Employee benefits', on defined benefit plans (effective 1 July 2014)

The Group is not exposed to seasonal variation in its operations.

2.2 Principles of consolidation

2.2.1 Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The Group also assesses existence of control where it does not have more than 50% of the voting power but is able to govern the financial and operating policies by virtue of de-facto control. De-facto control may arise in circumstances where the size of the Group's voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of other shareholders give the Group the power to govern the financial and operating policies, etc. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Accounting for business combinations under IFRS 3 only applies if it is considered that a business has been acquired. The Group may invest in subsidiaries that hold properties but do not constitute a business. These transactions are therefore treated as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations.

For acquisitions meeting the definition of a business combination, the acquisition method of accounting is used. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.

For acquisitions of subsidiaries not meeting the definition of a business, the Group allocates the cost between the individual identifiable assets and liabilities in the Group based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Such transactions or events do not give rise to goodwill.

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from intercompany transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

All the Group companies have 31 December as their year-end. Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

2.2.2 Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change in control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions - that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

2.2.3 Disposal of subsidiaries

When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

2.3 Amendments to accounting and valuation principles

There have been no amendments to accounting or valuation principles during the period ended 30 June 2016.

   3.          FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency and price risk), cash flow and fair value interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity rate risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.

Risk management is carried out by the senior management of the asset manager under policies approved by the board of directors. Senior management identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks. The board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments and investment of excess liquidity.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2015. There have been no significant changes in the risk management policies since prior year end.

3.2 Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash flow.

3.3 Fair value estimation

In 2016, there were no significant changes in the business or economic circumstances that affect the fair value of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities. In 2016, there were no reclassifications of financial assets or liabilities. During the period there have not been transfers between levels.

Disposal of investment property and investment property held for sale

On 2 February 2016 the Group announced it had exchanged binding contracts to dispose of the Brakel property for a gross price of EUR3 million. On 10 March 2016 the Group announced the sale of the three remaining assets leased to Marseille Kliniken for a gross price of EUR10 million. After these sales the Group has disposed of all investment property held in all jurisdictions. Prior to the transfer to the disposal group classified as held for sale, these properties were written down to their estimated sales values.

Included in investment property held for sale as at 31 December 2015 are the four remaining investment properties held at this date by the Company in Germany (Brakel, Buren, Arnsberg and Kreuztal-Kromabch); these were approved for sale in 2015. At 30 June 2015 these investment properties were valued by Colliers International Property Consultants Limited ("Colliers"). The valuation basis is market value and conforms to international valuation standards. The main inputs in the model are the annual net rental and the average capitalisation rate of 11.7%. The capitalisation rate is based on properties in similar conditions and reflects the expectations on future incomes. Given the unobservable inputs used for the valuation, the fair value is of level 3. Colliers is a qualified independent valuer who holds recognised and relevant professional qualifications and has recent experience in the relevant locations and category of properties being valued. The valuations were presented before estimated purchasers' costs; however, sellers' costs are not included.

.

Included in investment property held for sale as at 30 June 2015 is one property in Germany (Huttenstrasse, Berlin). The Directors approved the sale of this property prior to 30 June 2015 and the Group announced its sale on 9 July 2015 for a gross sale price of EUR5.4 million (GBP3.9 million). Prior to transfer to the disposal group classified as held for sale, this property was written down to its sale value.

Disposals during the year ended 31 December 2015 relate to the sale of one care home in Germany (Huttenstrasse, Berlin). This property was written down to its sales value of EUR5.4 million (GBP3.9 million) prior to disposal. In doing so the Group recognised a loss of EUR0.6 million (GBP0.4 million) which is included in the net losses on fair value adjustments of GBP1.4 million in the table above.
