-------------------------------- ---------- ---------- ----------
-- The profit before tax for the period was GBP61.1 million
(2017: GBP56.6 million) after accounting for the net valuation gain
on investment properties of GBP32.5 million (2017: GBP29.5
million).
-- The property portfolio has been valued by the Directors based
on the recommendations of the Group's external advisers and in the
UK continues to show modest growth whilst the USA has been flat
following increases in local interest rates.
-- We continue to see some increase in rental income in the UK
and USA, primarily driven by the letting of completed development
projects.
-- Brexit continues to provide political and economic
uncertainty which has led to reduced forecasts for economic growth.
This combination of factors will provide a challenging environment
for our UK business. In the USA the economic outlook is more
encouraging and should provide a positive environment to grow our
business.
-- The principal risk factors affecting the remainder of the
financial year continue to be exposure to movements in the
valuation of the Group's investment properties, movements in the
sterling/dollar exchange rate and the incidence of voids and bad
debts.
-- An interim dividend of 35p per share will be paid on 8 March
2019 to shareholders on the register on 8 February 2019.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the
six months ended 30 September 2018
1. Basis of preparation
This interim financial information has been prepared in
accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim
Financial Reporting, applying the accounting policies and
presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Company's
published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2018. The Directors have considered the result of the
endorsement by the EU of new or changed International Financial
Reporting Standards that are applicable or available for early
adoption in the preparation of the Company's next consolidated
financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2019 and
concluded that they have no material effect on either the current
or prior periods.
The Directors have reviewed the current and projected financial
position of the Group and are satisfied that the Group has adequate
resources to cover current liabilities. Therefore, the Directors
continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the half
year report.
2. Status of the interim financial information
The interim financial information in this statement has not been
audited or reviewed by auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practices
Board guidance on review of interim financial information and does
not constitute statutory accounts, as defined in section 435 of the
Companies Act 2006. The auditors' report on the statutory accounts
for the year ended 31 March 2018 was unqualified and did not
contain a statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2018 have been
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The interim financial
statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 November
2018. The preparation of the interim financial information requires
management to make assumptions and estimates about future events
which are uncertain, the actual outcome of which may result in a
materially different outcome from that anticipated.

4. Taxation
The tax charge in the interim statement is in line with the
current UK statutory rate. The higher rate on our US generated
profits is offset by a lower future tax rate on our UK deferred
property valuation gains.
5. Dividends
No dividends were paid in the six months ended 30 September 2018
(six months ended 30 September 2017: GBPNil).
6. Investment properties
The Directors have estimated the value of the investment
properties at 30 September 2018 after consultation with the Group's
advisers. A full valuation of the Group's properties will be
carried out by independent professional valuers at 31 March
2019.
7. Financial Instruments - fair value disclosure
The Group seeks to reduce interest rate risk by fixing rates on
the majority of its loans and borrowings, either through the use of
fixed rate mortgage finance or through interest rate swaps. The
Group does not speculate in treasury products.
The Group does not hedge account and all its mortgages and
interest rate swaps are initially recognised at fair value.
Mortgages are subsequently recorded at amortised cost whilst
interest rate swaps are subsequently recorded at fair value, with
any movement being recorded in the consolidated income statement.
The fair values of all these financial instruments are determined
by reference to observable inputs that are classified as Level 2 in
the fair value hierarchy set out in International Financial
Reporting Standard 13 Fair Value Measurement. Fair values have been
determined by discounting expected future cash flows using market
interest rates and yield curves over the remaining term of the
instrument, as adjusted to reflect the credit risk attributable to
the Group and, where relevant, its counterparty.
Fair value measurements are as follows:

=========== ======== =========== ======== =========== ========
In both 2018 and 2017 there were no non-recurring fair value
measurements and there were no material differences between the
fair value and carrying amounts of all the other financial assets
of the Group.
