Following a meeting by a duly authorised committee of the Board
of Directors held today, 6 July 2016, the Directors announce the
interim results for the six months ended 30 April 2016.
Chairman's statement
The Company has returned an operating profit of GBP630,000
(2015: GBP507,000) for the period under review. Last year's
corresponding operating profit for the period was affected by a
number of factors including some extraordinary costs such as a
properties' valuation cost before our new banking facility, an
agency cost for the operation of a tenancy over the winter period
plus a lack of contribution from two houses where major
refurbishments were being carried out. These houses are now
operational again and together with some improved rental terms on
some new tenancy agreements, I am pleased to be able to report a
24% increase in operating profit on the previous year.
Results
The Group operating profit is GBP630,000 (2015: GBP507,000), a
24% increase on the previous year. After allowing for finance costs
of GBP124,000 (2015: GBP117,000) which includes a GBP28,000
interest cost in respect of the IAS19 calculation referring to the
final salary Pension Scheme (2015: GBP23,000), the Group Profit
before taxation is GBP505,000 (2015: GBP395,000) which shows a 28%
increase on the previous year.
Dividend
The Directors have resolved to pay an interim dividend of 3.675p
per Ordinary Share and 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Share (2015:
3.675p). The dividend will be paid on 5 August 2016 to shareholders
on the Register at the close of business on 22 July 2016.
Property
In respect of the properties previously reported as being
marketed for sale; the sale of one of the new houses on Topsham
Road in Exeter on the former site of the Country House Inn
completed on 29 June and the sale of the Hole in the Wall in
Dawlish completed on 24 May.
The Maltster's Arms in Harbertonford has been taken off the
market and is now open and trading after a new lease was granted to
an experienced local operator.
Having received notice from the incumbent tenant, the
Carpenter's Arms in Ilsington, a small house best suited to an
owner operator, was placed on the market in April. An acceptable
offer was received in very short order and the sale completed on 24
June.
Prospects
Work has commenced on the refurbishment of the Dolphin Inn in
Torquay which closed earlier in the year. We look forward to
reopening this house in August 2016. Following a long closure,
development work is also planned to start shortly on the Dartmoor
Halfway Inn in Bickington. When completed, both should add
significantly to our income stream.
In line with our expectations we have made a solid start to
trading in the second half of the year and the Company is well
positioned before the beginning of the summer season.

Notes to the interim results
1. Basis of preparation
These unaudited interim condensed and consolidated financial
statements do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning
of section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. They have been prepared
on the basis of the accounting policies that were complied with in
the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2015.
The accounting policies are drawn up in accordance with
International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board.
These unaudited financial statements were approved and
authorised for issue by a duly appointed and authorised committee
of the Board of Directors on 6 July 2016.
2. Basic and diluted earnings per share
The calculation of basic earnings per ordinary share is based on
earnings of GBP377,000 (2015: GBP292,000), being profit after
taxation for the period, and on 4,872,387 (2015: 4,868,704) shares
being the weighted average number of Ordinary and 'A' Limited
Voting Ordinary Shares in issue during the period after excluding
the shares owned by The Heavitree Brewery PLC Employee Benefits
Trust and those shares under option pursuant to the Employee Share
Option Scheme. Employee share options could potentially dilute
basic earnings per share in the future but are not included in the
interim calculation of dilutive earnings per share because they are
antidilutive for the period presented. The Ordinary Shares and the
'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Shares have equal dividend rights and
therefore no separate calculation of earnings per share for the
different classes has been given.
3. Segment information
Primary reporting format - Business segments
The primary segmental reporting format is determined to be
business segments as the Group's risks and rates of return are
affected predominantly by differences in the products and services
provided.
During the year the Group operated in one business
segment-leased estate.
Leased estate represents properties which are leased to tenants
to operate independently from the Group.
4. Interim report
Copies of this announcement are available from the Company at
Trood Lane, Matford, Exeter EX2 8YP. The Company's interim report
for the six months ended 30 April 2016 has been posted to
