Unaudited Interim Results for the period ended 30 September 2011

Chairman's Statement

Our interim results for the six month period ended 30 September 2011 reflect a relatively subdued period. You will see from the accounts that our turnover had reduced to GBP151,450 as compared to GBP163,429 for the equivalent period last year. The major change in our rental income is due to BT Ufindus vacating their premises at College House which I reported in my chairman's statement for the year ended 31 March 2011. Both figures are low in comparison to the year end 31/3/2011 figure which included a property sale. It is evident from the balance sheet that there was little activity in terms of additions or disposals of the fixed asset or stock properties.

In my last statement I reported that we had received two conditional offers in excess of GBP400,000 for our Kendal Bowman property and expected to complete the sale of this property before 31 December 2011 which would have reduced the Company's debt position and also give surplus funds for future working capital requirements. One of the potential purchasers has unfortunately dropped out and we are still negotiating with the remaining interested party.

Administrative expenses of GBP65,179 look high in comparison to the equivalent period last year of GBP35,261, but as reported in my statement this time last year, the 2010 figure reflected the reversal of a provision in the order of GBP32,000 for a bad debt which was subsequently recovered.

Also as commented upon last year, in the 2010 accounts an insurance claim had been finalised resulting in a credit of GBP63,155.

The rise in interest payable reflects largely the increased cost of bank borrowing.

The overall result is an operating profit of GBP9,463 (2010 GBP94,414) and a loss on ordinary activities after taxation of GBP108,775 (2010 profit GBP13,146).

Since the period end one of our smaller tenants, Kendal Carpet Warehouse, has been declared bankrupt. The unit is now on offer to let and is being marketed by our agents. At College House we have agreed a temporary rent reduction with the nursery on the condition that we recover the 'lost rent' as and when their trading position improves and we will monitor this on an ongoing basis. Also at College House Furness PC and Console Repairs went into liquidation (their rent was GBP6,830 per annum). On the plus side we have entered into an agreement to lease our premises at Botchergate, Carlisle at a rental of GBP35,000 per annum, with a rent free three month period, on a ten year fully repairing and insuring lease, subject to a five year review and break clause, with an established restaurant company. The lease is subject to planning approval but our agents inform us that the planning authorities are fully in support of the scheme. The purchaser of part of our Printfield site has now received planning for nine residential units and, as per our overage agreement, we are to receive payments totalling GBP149,000 as plots are disposed of.

The Board does not see the environment in which the Company operates changing significantly in the medium term and the Company continues to be reliant on the support of the bank. The Directors are considering its strategy going forward and expect to report back to shareholders with an update in early March 2012.
