Simon Perkins, Chief Executive of McKay, said:
"Our consistent focus on our core office, industrial and

successful development projects and the intensive in-house
management of our portfolio, can be credited for the delivery of
another positive set of results, with gains achieved across our key
metrics.
"We do not take our ability to out-perform the market in the
current environment for granted, and with the benefit of increased
headroom have no intention of slowing down the active programme of
portfolio initiatives that has helped McKay's assets stand out in a
competitive landscape. The letting of our development and
refurbishment schemes, the recycling of capital and the ability to
utilise our increased loan facilities provide us with the
opportunity to continue building on the substantial growth we have
delivered over recent years, and unlock an attractive
reversion.
"We remain wary of the political uncertainty affecting our
operating environment and hope that some clarity will provide the
basis for a more positive economic outlook. In the meantime, our
focus on the strongest regions and sectors of the UK and their
prospects to enhance our portfolio growth once confidence improves,
provides us with an encouraging platform for the future."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to report a positive set of results for the half
year period, despite the volatile political and economic
backdrop.
Overview
These results have been generated by the continued delivery of
our active programme of portfolio initiatives and underpinned by
our focus on the resilient office, industrial and logistics markets
of London and the South East.
Rental income from the portfolio increased by 20.8% to GBP12.61
million (September 2018: GBP10.43 million), benefiting from
lettings secured on our recent development projects and other
portfolio projects. This increase, offset to a degree by a lower
level of capitalised interest, resulted in a substantial 17.6%
increase in adjusted profit before tax to GBP5.08 million
(September 2018: GBP4.32 million).
Our continued investment in the portfolio, and our active
in-house management, has continued to deliver portfolio gains ahead
of the MSCI benchmark, with the portfolio estimated rental value
("ERV") growing by 1.9% to GBP33.30 million pa (on a like-for-like
basis), the portfolio valuation of GBP492.14 million generating a
1.0% (GBP5.06 million) surplus and a total property return for the
period of 3.4% (September 2018: 3.8%). The valuation gain and a
GBP1.72 million surplus from the sale of Station Plaza, Theale in
May 2019 at a price of 32.7% ahead of book value, contributed to a
2.1% increase in NAV per share (EPRA) to 333 pence (March 2019: 326
pence) and an increase in shareholders' funds to GBP313.93 million
(March 2019: GBP311.08 million).
These gains have been achieved as a result of our strategic
focus on enhancing the income potential of the portfolio. In
addition to the gains achieved over the period, we still have the
potential to secure a 24.3% (GBP6.51 million pa) reversionary
increase in rental income, being the difference between the current
level of contracted income and ERV.
Having grown the portfolio value over recent years, we were able
to secure an increase in loan facilities at the beginning of the
period, providing additional headroom for acquisitions and
portfolio expenditure. This facilitated the acquisition of an
office asset in Newbury post period end, referred to below, and
provides scope for further value enhancing investment.
Market review
The protracted uncertainty over Brexit across our markets has
held back occupier demand and resulted in lower levels of office
occupier take up. Despite this, the highly restricted supply of
modern business space, especially across our South East office
markets, has helped maintain rental values and is set to support
future rental growth, especially with a recovery in business
confidence.
There is still considerable pent up demand from a wide range of
domestic and overseas buyers seeking to invest in our markets.
However, the volume of transactions has been lower over the period
with the investment market characterised by a shortage of supply
due to political uncertainty. This has supported capital values
which have also held steady.
In the South East office market, which accounts for 52.3% of the
portfolio (by value), larger occupier transitions are down on last
year due to business uncertainly and a lack of available space. As
a result, total occupier take up to the end of Q3/2019 of 1.31
million sq ft, was 6.8% below the ten year Q1 - Q3 average. Based
on identified demand in the market of 3.18 million sq ft we
anticipate full year take up to be in the region of 10.0% below the
ten year annual average of 1.92 million sq ft. Occupier choice
remains increasingly limited, with vacancy rates at an all time low
of 1.8% for new supply and 6.3% for Grade A. Looking forward, the
pipeline remains constrained with just three new office
developments totalling 340,000 sq ft predicted to complete in 2020,
which is less than half the ten year average. Building obsolescence
is also compounding the lack of supply and continues to be one of
the key drivers of occupier demand. The increasing importance of
sustainable, modern business space to attract and retain employees
is set to increase competition, and put upward pressure on rental
values, particularly with the benefit of greater business
certainty.
In the London office market, the development pipeline has picked
up as a response to vacancy rates well below the ten year average.
However, continued occupier take up and demand for the limited
stock available has held rental levels steady.
The South East industrial and logistics market, which accounts
for 17.6% of the portfolio (by value), continues to perform well,
driven by the growth of e-commerce. Take up to the end of Q3/2019
totalled 5.70 million sq ft across the South East, which is a 23.0%
increase over the same period last year and the highest take up
ever recorded. Set against this is low supply totalling 4.50
million sq ft, which equates to just 0.8 years worth of supply
calculated against the five year average take up. It is within this
market that our major development at Theale Logistics Park (134,430
sq ft) is due to complete shortly.
Portfolio income and asset management
Throughout the portfolio, sustainability is at the heart of
everything we do. Creating and managing sustainable and efficient
buildings is an essential strand of our offer to prospective
occupiers, while the efficiency of design provides lower utility
bills and higher levels of workspace satisfaction for our tenants.
Our Sustainability Strategy was first launched in 2013, and has
delivered some notable achievements including a 44.0% reduction in
carbon footprint and high sustainability ratings on new
developments and major refurbishments. We were also pleased to
achieve the prestigious three-star rating for the fourth year in
succession by the widely recognised Global Real Estate
Sustainability Benchmark ("GRESB"). This measures the real estate
sector against Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") targets
and confirms our progress and standing in this important area.
This approach assisted with the completion over the period of
ten open market lettings, with a combined contracted rental value
of GBP490,000 pa, 2.3% ahead of ERV. The largest of these lettings
was at Pegasus Place, Crawley, which consists of three office
buildings totalling 50,790 sq ft. The comprehensive refurbishment
of Pegasus 2 (12,720 sq ft) was completed in July 2019. Prior to
completion we let the ground floor (3,820 sq ft) at a contracted
rent of GBP100,000 pa, setting a new record rent for Crawley of
GBP27.00 per sq ft. The remaining two floors are being marketed and
generating good interest.
The second major refurbishment over the period comprised the
upgrading and modernisation of two office floors, the reception and
other common areas at Mallard Court in the centre of Staines
(21,860 sq ft). Works completed in August 2019 and achieved the
early letting of part of the first floor at a rental level in line
with ERV. Marketing of the remainder of the space is also
generating encouraging interest. The building upgrade has
incorporated new technology to introduce smart management of the
building services and access controls, which can be operated
through a dedicated app. This will enable our occupiers to control
their heating and lighting, book meeting rooms, control building
access and to be kept informed of travel updates, amenities and
local retail offers. We will be monitoring the success of this,
with a view to rolling the same technology out to other portfolio
properties.
Our flexible offer of smaller suites, co-working space and
communal kitchens at One Crown Square, Woking (50,190 sq ft) and at
329 Bracknell (32,800 sq ft) is continuing to prove attractive to
occupiers. At Bracknell, we achieved 100% occupation during the
period and at Woking we welcomed, amongst others, Handelsbanken as
a new occupier committing to a ten year lease with a five year
break at a contracted rent of GBP60,000 pa. We also accepted a
negotiated payment for an early surrender of the ground floor
banking unit (3,802 sq ft) and simultaneously exchanged contracts
to let the space to a gym operator, thereby also improving the
building's offer for existing and future tenants.
At Switchback Office Park in Maidenhead (37,155 sq ft), having
relocated the tenant of Unit 4.1 (3,886 sq ft) to our Brentford
office asset, we speculatively fitted out the empty space to
attract the increasing number of tenants seeking ease of
occupation. This has proved to be very successful having secured a
five year lease commitment of the entire space at a contracted rent
of GBP100,000 pa, 4.6% ahead of ERV.
In addition to the income generated from new lettings, we also
settled five rent reviews at a combined contracted rent of GBP1.65
million pa, representing a 12.6% uplift over the prior rent passing
and a rental level equivalent to ERV. The payment of back dated
rent to the review date also resulted in a one-off addition to
rental income for the period. The reviews, which were across a
range of assets, have also contributed to the release of some of
the reversionary income potential of the portfolio.
We now manage all our assets in-house, providing our tenants
direct access to, and regular dialogue with, our Occupier Services
team. This aids quick decisions, efficient turnaround times and
closely managed service charge expenditure. This supports our
ability to maintain close relationships with our occupiers and the
prospects for tenant retention. This proved to be the case over the
period with 75.0% of tenants choosing to stay in occupation at
lease break or expiry.
Portfolio occupancy at the end of the period was 87.1% (March
2019: 87.9%) or 91.1% excluding developments (March 2019: 91.0%).
The majority of the portfolio void has been recently refurbished,
enhancing the letting prospects for the remainder of the year.
At the end of the period, the portfolio remains well placed to
deliver additional income and future value from the portfolio
reversion as set out below.

1. Like-for-like, excluding Station Plaza, Theale
Acquisitions and disposals
In May 2019, we completed the freehold disposal of Station
Plaza, Theale to an owner occupier at a price of GBP8.23 million.
We acquired the asset, which consists of three office buildings
totalling 41,420 sq ft, for GBP8.46 million in September 2014, and
have had the benefit of GBP900,000 pa of income since then. It had
been our intention to refurbish the buildings on lease expiry in
July 2019 but the sale price, which represented a 32.7% premium to
the March 2019 book value, delivered our anticipated refurbishment
profit without taking any of the construction, planning or letting
risk.
Given the strength of overseas investment demand in the Central
London office market referred to above, we have recently instructed
agents to explore the opportunistic disposal of 30 Lombard Street,
EC3. In the event of a sale completing, we will unlock the full
value created by our success with the scheme and recycle the
proceeds into acquisitions and other asset management initiatives
that provide us with greater future growth prospects.
Also since the end of the period, we have completed the
acquisition of Rivergate, a multi-let office building fronting
Newbury Business Park, for GBP15.5 million at an initial yield of
7.5%. The building provides 61,385 sq ft of lettable space over
three floors which is fully let to six occupiers at a rent of
GBP1.29 million pa. This is an earnings enhancing addition to the
portfolio, whilst the low rental value and the potential to add and
refurbish space also provide scope for future growth.
Development programme
The construction of Theale Logistics Park, our 134,430 sq ft
distribution warehouse development at Junction 12 of the M4
motorway, is progressing well. Practical completion of the scheme,
which will deliver best in class product in an under supplied
market, is due early in the new year. The scheme delivers a 39.0%
increase in lettable floor area compared with the previous
warehouse building on the site, and will double the rental value to
circa GBP1.48 million pa, making a significant contribution to
earnings once let. Our active marketing campaign continues to
generate interest, although tenant commitment in this sector is
more typical once the building is complete.
Valuation
The external independent valuation of the portfolio by Knight
Frank LLP as at 30th September 2019 was GBP492.14 million. The
valuation surplus for the period was 1.0% (GBP5.06 million),
outperforming the MSCI index which fell by -1.1%. Our active
portfolio management contributed to the 1.9% increase in ERV (MSCI:
0.1%) which had a positive impact on valuation, supplemented by the
release of development gains.
At sector level, our office portfolio increased in value by 0.3%
and our industrial and logistics portfolio by 2.7% (MSCI: 0.1% and
1.6% respectively).
The net initial yield on contracted income was 5.1% (31st March
2019: 5.3%) and the reversionary yield at full ERV was 6.3% (31st
March 2019: 6.6%), reflecting the 24.3% potential income growth
still to come.
Finance
Adjusted profit before tax, our measure of recurring profit
excluding valuation movements, profit on disposal and other one-off
items, increased by 17.6% to GBP5.08 million (September 2018:
GBP4.32 million), primarily due to an increase of GBP2.17 million
in gross rental income, which ended the period up 20.8% at GBP12.61
million (September 2018: GBP10.43 million). IFRS profit before tax
was GBP11.17 million (September 2018: GBP11.40 million).
The most significant contribution to the increase in gross
rental income was GBP1.47 million from 30 Lombard Street, EC3
following the letting in January 2019. Also contributing to the
increase in gross rental income was GBP240,000 of back-dated income
from rent reviews settled during the period.
Non-recoverable property costs of GBP1.40 million (September
2018: GBP1.26 million) were slightly higher mainly due to an
increase in rates and other void costs on recently completed
refurbishments prior to reletting. After taking these costs into
account, net rental income increased by 22.8% (GBP2.10 million) to
GBP11.27 million (September 2018: GBP9.17 million).
Administration costs of GBP2.40 million were 26.6% lower than
the comparable period last year (September 2018: GBP3.26 million)
due to a variation of the IFRS 2 share-based payment assumptions.
Excluding the accounting benefit of this variation, administration
costs of GBP2.79 million for the period were unchanged (September
2018: GBP2.82 million).
Interest payable increased to GBP3.34 million (September 2018:
GBP2.02 million). This anticipated increase was partly due to
higher levels of drawn debt, which ended the period at GBP173.00
million (September 2018: GBP161.00 million), and a reduction in
capitalised interest on development projects. Contributing to the
increase in drawn debt was development and refurbishment
expenditure over the period totalling GBP10.58 million, offset by
net sale proceeds from the disposal of Station Plaza, Theale of
GBP8.07 million. The ratio of net debt to portfolio value (LTV) at
the end of the period was 34.6% (March 2019: 33.3%).
Inclusion of 30 Lombard Street, EC3 as one of three properties
held for sale has triggered a deferred tax provision of GBP960,000,
payable only in the event of a successful disposal.
After taking these movements into account, adjusted earnings per
share increased by 17.2% to 5.39 pence (September 2018: 4.60
pence), and the EPRA earnings per share increased to 5.86 pence
(September 2018: 4.10 pence).
IFRS net asset value increased by GBP2.85 million to GBP313.93
million over the period, benefiting from the GBP3.90 million
valuation surplus (including IFRS 16). As a result, EPRA net asset
value per share increased by 2.1% to 333 pence (March 2019: 326
pence).
Our financing position was strengthened over the period with
completion in April 2019 of the refinancing of three bilateral
loans totalling GBP125.00 million into one club facility of
GBP180.00 million. This increased our total facilities to GBP245.00
million, providing additional headroom for acquisitions and capital
expenditure on refurbishment and development projects.
Dividend
The Board is pleased to declare an interim dividend of 2.8 pence
per share, maintaining the level of dividend paid for the same
period last year. This will be paid as an ordinary dividend on 2nd
January 2020.
Outlook
The letting of our development and refurbishment schemes, the
recycling of capital and the investment of firepower from our
increased loan facilities provide us with the opportunity to build
on the substantial growth we have delivered from the strategic
investment in our portfolio over recent years.
We hope that by the end of the year, political clarity will
provide the basis for a more positive economic outlook. In the
meantime, our focus on the strongest regions and sectors of the UK
and their prospects to enhance our portfolio growth once confidence
improves, provides us with an encouraging platform for the
future.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
Six months to 30th September 2019
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
-- the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared
in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by
the EU;
-- the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by:
(a) DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being
an indication of important events that have occurred during the
first six months of the financial year and their impact on the
condensed set of financial statements; and a description of the
principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of
the year; and
(b) DTR 4.2.8R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being
related party transactions that have taken place in the first six
months of the current financial year and that have materially
affected the financial position or performance of the entity during
that period; and any changes in the related party transactions
described in the last annual report that could do so.
S Perkins
Chief Executive Officer
G Salmon
Chief Financial Officer
Identification of business risks
The Group's principal risks and uncertainties are consistent
with those noted in the Annual Report for the year ended 31st March
2019 which include compliance with financial covenants on bank
borrowing, tenant default, liquidity and interest rate movements on
bank borrowing. The Directors consider that the significant areas
of judgement that have a material effect on the Group's performance
are valuation of investment properties and financial instruments.
These are unchanged from those identified in the Annual Report for
the year ended 31st March 2019.
Going concern
The Interim Report has been prepared on a going concern basis,
which assumes the Group will be able to meet its liabilities as
they
fall due, for the foreseeable future. The Directors have
prepared cash flow forecasts which show that the cash generated
from operating activities will provide sufficient cash headroom for
the foreseeable future.
The Group is in full compliance with its borrowing covenants at
30th September 2019 and is expected to be in compliance for the
next 12 months.
INDEPENT REVIEW REPORT TO MCKAY SECURITIES PLC
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set
of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the
six months ended 30th September 2019 which comprises the Group
Profit and Loss and other Comprehensive Income, the Group Statement
of Financial Position, the Group Cash Flow Statement, the Group
Statement of Changes in Equity and related notes 1 to 12. We have
read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial
report and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in
the condensed set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with
International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410
"Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the
Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial
Reporting Council. Our work has been undertaken so that we might
state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it
in an independent review 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, for our review
work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and
has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible
for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with
the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 1 (page 13), the annual financial
statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRS's as
adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial
statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as
adopted by the European Union.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on
the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in
the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information
consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other
review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain
assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements
in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30th
September 2019 is not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union and the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's
Financial Conduct Authority.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Six months to 30th September 2019
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements of McKay Securities Plc ("the
Group") are prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the European Union.
This condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by
the European Union.
As required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the
Financial Conduct Authority, the financial statements have been
prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation that
were applied in the preparation of the Company's published Group
financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2019.
The following accounting standards and guidance were adopted by
the Group during the year:
IFRS 16 Leases (effective year ended 31st March 2020)
IFRS 16 Leases establishes principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, with the
objective of ensuring that lessees and lessors provide relevant
information that faithfully represents those transactions. The
standard specifies how entities reporting in accordance with IFRSs
will recognise, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard
provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to
recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless term is 12
months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. IFRS 16's
approach to lessor accounting is substantially unchanged from its
predecessor, IAS 17 Leases. The standard is effective for annual
period beginning on or after 1st January 2019. No material impact
has been experienced with the adoption of IFRS 16 as the Group has
no current lease commitments.
The Board approved the unaudited interim financial statements on
15th November 2019.
2 Alternative Performance Measures
The Group uses a number of Alternative Performance Measures
("APMs") which are not defined or specified within IFRS. The
Directors use these measures in order to assess the underlying
operational performance of the Group and allow greater
comparability between periods but do not consider them to be a
substitute for, or superior to, IFRS measures. Adjusted profit
before tax is in note 3. EPRA earnings per share is in note 6. EPRA
net asset per share is in note 11.
