ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st JULY 2009
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
ACCOUNTS
As forecast and due to the requirement of the International Financial Reporting Standards that any unrealised deficit in revalued property be included in the Income Statement, I am obliged to report for the first time in the Company's history a headline group loss before tax of £1,208,000. This compares with a profit for last year of £5,871,000 which also included an unrealised deficit in revalued property. If the impact of revalued property on the figures is disregarded then a truer reflection of group performance emerges in the form of an underlying profit before tax of £4,468,000 (no property sales) for the year under review which compares with a figure for the previous year of £8,526,000 (including £3,890,000 profit from property sales).
The value of investment properties at the beginning of the year was £68,148,000 (cost £35,452,000). Additions during the year cost £3,577,000. The net deficit on the year end valuation was £5,779,000 leaving a value of £65,946,000 (cost £39,029,000).
The Board is recommending a Final Dividend of 9.35p nett making a total for the year of 13.85p nett which compares with 13.50p nett for the previous year. The dividends will cost the Company £1,165,000.
Loss adjusted for pension scheme deficit, dividends paid and fair value reserve when deducted from opening shareholders' funds brings the total equity of the Group to £92,307,000.
TRADING ACTIVITIES
Group turnover increased by 2%, own work capitalised increased by 88% and other operating income increased by 7%. Total Group profit decreased by 121%. Underlying Group profit excluding an unrealised deficit in revalued property decreased by 48%.
Turnover in contracting increased and a small profit was achieved. Private housing sales were negligible. Sales in precast concrete manufacture decreased and a small loss was made.
The mixed commercial and residential development in McDonald Road, Edinburgh and the second phase of our industrial development at Bilston Glen near Edinburgh are almost finished. The second office block at Glenbervie Business Park, Larbert is complete and 75% let.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
In spite of a slight erosion in tenant numbers our occupation levels are holding up quite well considering the general economic situation, and rental income is expected to increase slightly in the current year. There appears to be genuine interest in the commercial and industrial space we have built recently. Only time will tell if this interest translates into tenancies.
At McDonald Road the 25% affordable portion of the residential development has been handed over to a Housing Association. It is too early to say whether or not the promising start made to private house sales here will be maintained.
The amount of contract work in hand is less than at this time last year, prices have tumbled and it is clear that prospective contracts are thin on the ground.
Bearing the foregoing in mind, there are too many uncertainties to forecast the outcome for the current year with any degree of accuracy at this stage.

Yes fair comment.It was fine in the summer when the shares had a mid market price in the low 300s pence.They were absurdly cheap as a long term hold.At the moment unless the spread narrows I will not be adding.

Is this the UKs cheapest & safest property company?Capitalised @ £40m with around £15m cash and no borrowings.Around £4m rental income.Interestingly the Smart family have not drawn a divi in recent years and the the Chairman only pays himself £100k per annum.
