Following a Board Meeting held today, 13 February 2019, the
Directors announce the preliminary statement of results for the
year ended 31 October 2018.
ISIN: GB0004182720 for 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Shares
ISIN: GB0004182506 for Ordinary Shares
Chairman's statement
Turnover for the Group has increased by GBP315,000 to
GBP7,614,000 returning a Group operating profit of GBP1,632,000 for
the year under review. This is a reduction in Group operating
profit of GBP146,000 against the previous year. When making a
comparison with the previous year, it should be noted that the
Group operating profit line in 2017 had been increased by over 25%
as a result of one-off transactions which included GBP104,000 from
the sale of development land held by Heavitree Inc., GBP107,000 for
a write back after an over provision in expense for bad debts and a
further GBP36,000 for compensation and a repayment of legal fees
following a land dispute.
Having considered these one-off transactions to the previous
year before making comparisons, I am pleased with the results in
this report.
Results
Group Turnover increased by GBP315,000 to GBP7,614,000. Group
Operating Profit has decreased by GBP146,000 to GBP1,632,000.
Heavitree Inns remained dormant throughout the year.
Heavitree Inc. generated an operating profit of GBP12,000 (2017
- GBP104,000).
Key Performance Indicators
Group operating profit before Taxation of GBP1,632,000 was down
8.21% on last year.
Interest costs were covered 9.60 times.
Dividend
The Directors recommend a 6.25% increase in the final dividend
to 4.25p per Ordinary and 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Share (2017 -
4.00p) making a total for the year of 7.925p (2017-7.675p). The
dividend will be paid on 18 April 2019, subject to shareholder
approval at the Annual General Meeting on 10 April 2019, to those
shareholders on the Register at 22 March 2019.
Sale of Property
The King of Prussia in Bovey Tracey was sold in November 2017,
The Kings Arms in Strete was sold in March 2018, The Crown and
Sceptre in Newton St.Cyres was sold in April 2018 together with a
small block of four flats in Exeter. I reported on these at the
half year. The total book profit realised on the sale of these
sites was GBP814,000.
A house on the same site as the above-mentioned block of flats
has been sold subject to contract and I hope to report further on
this at the upcoming half year.
Capital Investments
Significant investments during the year include GBP85,000 on
improvements and upgrades to the kitchen, lavatories and
baby-changing facilities at The Cleave in Lustleigh, GBP30,000 on a
new bar and installation of a central heating system at The Green
Dragon in Stoke Fleming and GBP158,000 on part one of a
refurbishment of The Church House in Stokenham.
Pension Scheme
Following the completion of the actuarial triennial valuation of
the Final Salary Pension Scheme deficit that had fallen due in
December 2016, a new set of correction payments were issued and
approved in March 2018. These correction payments were to start at
GBP588,000 and be subject to a 3% uplift year on year. Since the
approval of this new set of correction payments three deferred
members have transferred out of the scheme as detailed in note 30.
Consequently, the Scheme's independent actuary has issued a
replacement schedule of correction payments and this confirms that
the Company is no longer required to make contributions to fund the
Scheme's deficit.
The Company continues to operate the Scheme for the remaining
retired members and their dependants.
Repurchase of shares
The Company did not repurchase any of its own shares during the
year under review but the Directors intend to seek shareholder
approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting for the
continuing authority to do so.
Outlook
Another pleasing performance of good progress has created the
platform for a further increase in the final Dividend.
At the time of writing it is hard to avoid making mention of the
political uncertainty the Country is facing. Despite this, the
quality of our houses and of our tenants and leaseholders who
operate them and the dedicated support they receive from all of our
staff at Head Office, have combined to help deliver this year's
strong set of results.
