CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Results
The slowdown in commercial activity experienced in the second
half of last year due to uncertainties in relation to Brexit
continued in the first 3 (four week) periods of the current year.
These periods are historically low trading periods and due to the
high operational gearing of our business, together with the impact
of two increases in minimum wages and the living wage, our EBITDA
decreased GBP220,265 on the previous year, in those periods. This
has produced a disappointing interim result in comparison to last
year's excellent interim result. However on a positive note EBITDA
for the remaining 4 (four week) periods of the half year was
broadly neutral in comparison to the previous year.
In the 28 weeks to 13 August 2017 hotel revenues decreased 5.1%
to GBP8,648,145 (2016: GBP9,115,526). Hotel gross profit before
depreciation and Group administration decreased 15.1% to
GBP1,503,402 (2016: GBP1,771,160). Over the same period EBITDA
(earnings before interest, tax and depreciation) decreased 19.7% to
GBP1,119,749 (2016: GBP1,394,871) and operating profit decreased
31.3% to GBP604,556 (2016: GBP880,119)
Revpar (accommodation revenue per available room) decreased 4.2%
with occupancy down 3.3% and average room rate down 1.0%.
Administration expenses increased 2.0% and depreciation
increased 0.1% to GBP515,193.
Financial charges decreased by 0.7% to GBP285,263
Profit before tax was GBP319,293 compared to a profit of
GBP592,807 last year; a decrease of 46.1%
Corporation tax has been provided at an effective rate of 20%.
Basic earnings per share were 1.8p compared with 3.4p in the
comparative period on a weighted average of 14,012,123 (14,012,123)
shares in issue.
Finance
On 19 September 2017 the Company entered into a GBP9,900,000
five year term loan facility with Allied Irish Bank. This facility
has been used to repay the Company's existing facilities with Royal
Bank of Scotland as well as the remaining balances of the Directors
Loan and Loan Notes. The revised financial structure will result in
a significant reduction in financial charges going forward. Savings
in 2018/2019 financial year are estimated to be not less than
GBP160,000 provided Libor remains the same as it is currently.
On 13 August 2017 net debt stood at GBP9,159,332 representing
loans totalling GBP9,582,625 less GBP423,293 cash at bank. Gearing
on Shareholders' funds was 38.0% with interest covered 2.1 times.
Net debt decreased by GBP395,437 compared with the previous year
end.
Capital expenditure
We spent GBP369,516 in the period (2016: GBP421,216), mainly on
the refurbishment of three suites and the public areas at the
Norfolk Royale and the refurbishment of 12 bedrooms at the King
Malcolm Hotel, Dunfermline. We have completed the refurbishment of
the public areas and ballroom at the Crown and Mitre in
Carlisle.
We plan to spend GBP700,000 in this financial year on our
strategy of continually improving the standards offered in our
portfolio of hotels and maintaining the fabric of our buildings.
This sum is in addition to a significant sum expensed to the Income
Statement.
Shareholders
We are always delighted to welcome Shareholders to our Hotels
where they can see for themselves the progress we have made, whilst
enjoying a beneficial discount of 50% of our rack rate tariff,
using a special reservations number 0207 266 1100 or e-mail
info@peelhotel.com Shareholders can keep in touch with progress in
the company and various promotional activities by visiting our
website www.peelhotels.co.uk
The Future
The comparative shortfall in EBITDA in the first three periods
will be difficult to make up by the end of the financial year
however sales have now stabilised, REVPAR currently is growing
(reversing the trend in the half year) and costs are under control.
The ongoing diminution of financial charges will be of great
benefit to the Company and net debt will continue to decrease
satisfactorily whilst leaving the Company sufficient surplus cash
to continue the reinvestment in its Properties.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM RESULTS
for the period ended 13 August 2017
1. Basis of accounting
The interim financial information for the period ended 13 August
2017 has been prepared applying the accounting policies and
presentation of the Group's published consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 29 January 2017.
The financial information contained in the interim report does
not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434
of the Companies Act 2006 and does not include all of the
information and disclosures required for complete financial
statements. The financial information in the interim report does
not constitute statutory accounts as defined by section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006 and has not been audited or reviewed.
The financial information relating to the year ended 29 January
2017 is an extract from the latest published financial statements
on which the auditor gave an unmodified report that did not contain
statements under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006
and which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
2. Accounting policies
The condensed, consolidated financial statements in this
half-yearly financial report for the period ended 13 August 2017
have been prepared in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies
and on a basis consistent with the accounting policies and methods
of computation consistent with those set out in the Annual Report
and financial statements for the year ended 29 January 2017, except
as described below. The Group has chosen not to adopt IAS 34
'Interim Financial Statements' in preparing these interim financial
statements and therefore the Interim financial information is not
in full compliance with International Financial Reporting
Standards.
In preparing the condensed, consolidated financial statements,
management are required to make accounting assumptions and
estimates. The assumptions and estimation methods are consistent
with those applied to the Annual Report and financial statements
for the year ended 29 January 2017. Additionally the principal
risks and uncertainties that may have a material impact on
activities and results of the Group remain materially unchanged
from those described in that Annual Report.
3. Post balance sheet events
On 19 September 2017 the Company entered into a GBP9,900,000
five year term loan facility with Allied Irish Bank. This facility
has been used to repay the Company's existing facilities with Royal
Bank of Scotland as well as the remaining balances of the
Director's Loan and Loan Notes. The revised financial structure
will result in a significant reduction in financial charges going
forward
4. Taxation
Tax has been provided at a rate of 20% which represents the
expected effective rate for the full year.
5. Earnings per share
Earnings per share are based on the profit after taxation and on
the weighted average number of shares in issue during the
period.
