Chairman's Statement Year End 31st December 2020
The Coronavirus pandemic has dominated the year. HM Government introduced our
first national lockdown in March 2020.The lockdown has continued and hopefully
will come to an end in June 2021.
However, the world has changed and traditional forms of economic activity have
been severely disrupted.
The UK has left the EU with a trade deal .The longer term impacts for the UK
are still to be determined.
The successful roll out of the national vaccination programme will hopefully
result in a sustained recovery for the economy.
The Board has continued to reduce overheads and as a result we are in a good
financial position.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31st December 2020
Business Model
At Secured Property Developments, we focus on maximising the return from our
portfolio of properties whilst looking for new acquisitions where we can, by
development, increase value and thereby create value for shareholders.
We create value by:
Acquiring properties
- We seek to acquire properties and unlock value.
Optimise Income
- Optimising income by development and carrying out improvements and good
estate management.
- Employ our knowledge of occupiers' needs to let to high quality tenants from
a wide range of businesses and to minimise the level of voids in our portfolio
and
- Collecting our rental income on due dates.
Recycle Capital
- Identify properties for disposal where value has been optimised and dispose
of those which do not fit the Group's long-term plans.
Maintain robust and flexible financing
- Negotiate flexible financing and retain a healthy level of interest cover and
gearing.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
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 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.

Details of the group financial risk management objectives and policies are

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Following the sale of the last of the investment properties and repayment of
loans the Directors are now able to actively consider investment and

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).
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 have been 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 group 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 AUDITORS
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 auditors
are 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 auditors are aware of that
information.
AUDITORS
Under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006, Lubbock Fine will be deemed to
have been reappointed as auditors 28 days after these financial statements were
sent to members or 28 days after the latest date prescribed for filing the
accounts with the registrar, whichever is earlier.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

I H Cobden - Secretary
Date: 29 June 2021
Secured Property Developments Plc
Independent Audit Report
For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
To the members of Secured Property Developments Plc,
OPINION
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Secured Property
Developments Plc (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for
the year ended 31 December 2020, which comprise the Group Income Statement, the
Group and Company Balance Sheets, the Group and Company Statement of Changes in
Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting
policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their
preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards,
including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the consolidated 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 December 2020 and of the Group's 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.
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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of our report at. We are independent of the Group
and Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to
our audit of the consolidated financial statements in the United Kingdom,
including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use
of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial
statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the director's assessment of the
entity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting
included verification of post year end cash balances to ensure that the company
has sufficient cash to sustain it for at least the next 12 months at the
current run rate of expenses. We also reviewed the level of post year end
administrative expenses to ensure these have remained at a consistent rate as
per our expectation.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material
uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or
collectively, may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as
a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial
statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to
going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
OUR APPROACH TO THE AUDIT
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the
risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In
particular, we looked at where the directors made subjective judgements, for
example in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making
assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain.
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed sufficient work
to be able to give an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking
into account an understanding of the structure of the group and company, its
activities, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which
they operate. Our planned audit testing was directed accordingly and was
focused on areas where we assessed there to be the highest risk of material
misstatement. During the audit, we reassessed and re-valuated audit risks and
tailored our approach accordingly.
The audit testing included substantive testing on significant transactions,
balances and disclosures, the extent of which was based on various factors such
as our overall assessment of the control environment, the effectiveness of
controls and management of specific risk.
We communicated with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant findings,
including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during the audit.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit
matter
Verification of bank balance Our procedures in relation to the
verification of the bank balance included:
At the balance sheet date, the balance per
the bank was significantly material.
There is a risk that this figure is not
accurate and that the balance therefore
does not exist.
OUR APPLICATION OF MATERIALITY
The scope and focus of our audit was influenced by our assessment and
application of materiality. We apply the concept of materiality both in
planning and performing our audit, and in evaluating the effect of
misstatements on our audit and on the consolidated financial statements.
We define financial statements materiality as the magnitude by which
misstatements, including omissions, could influence the economic decisions
taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements by reasonable
users.
We also determine a level of performance materiality, which we use to determine
the extent of testing needed to reduce to an appropriately low level the
probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements
exceeds materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
* Overall materiality - We determine materiality for the consolidated
financial statements as a whole to be £21,400. This was based on the key
performance indicator, being 5% of net assets. We believe net asset values
are the most appropriate bench mark due to the minimal income statement
activity during the year and existence of key balance sheet items.
* Performance materiality - On the basis of our risk assessment, together
with our assessment of the company's control environment, our judgement is
that performance materiality for the consolidated financial statements
should be 65% of materiality, amounting to £13,900.
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.
OPINION 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 Group Strategic Report and the Directors'
Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the consolidated financial statements; and
* the Group 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 Group 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 Group, or returns
adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by
us; or
* the Group consolidated 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.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement on page 6,
the directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are
responsible for assessing the Group and 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.
AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the group
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 the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these group 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of
irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, we
considered the following:
* Enquires of management, including obtaining and reviewing supporting
documentation, concerning the company's policies and procedures relating
to:
+ Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and
whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance
+ detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have
knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
+ the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or
non-compliance of laws and regulations; and
* Discussions among the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might
occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that
the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations
that had direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this
context included the UK Companies Act and FRS 102.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not
have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may
be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to
avoid a material penalty. These included health and safety regulations,
employment law and environmental regulations.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the particular areas that were
susceptible to misstatement due to fraud were in respect of revenue recognition
and management override.
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
* reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting
documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and
regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial
statements;
* enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and
claims;
* performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected
relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to
fraud;
* reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
* in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls,
testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments;
assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are
indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the rationale of any
significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of
the company's operations.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website
at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our
Auditors' 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 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 members, as a body, for our
audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

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 2020. 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.
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.
a) 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
b) 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 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 period 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 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.
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
equivalent 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.
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.
3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS
The average number of staff during the year was nil (2019: nil) and there were
