DIRECTORS' REPORT

The Directors submit their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2016.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The principal activity of the Company during the year continued to be the carrying out of investment activities in the form of a listed Property Company. Being a listed Company involves obligations to comply with the Code of Principles of Good Governance ("the Code") as contained in Appendix 5.1 to Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules. Although the Code does not prescribe mandatory rules it recommends principles of good practice. Compliance with the Code is considered to be in the best interests of the Company and all shareholders and the Company's activities therefore have been conducted within the outlined principles of good practice.

RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS

The Statement of Comprehensive Income is set out on page 14. Although the prevailing economic situation in Europe and beyond remains weak the local economy continued to perform well resulting in a growth rate well ahead of the average growth rate in the rest of Europe. This positive performance has been reflected in the local equity market which has seen a rise of 20.67% in the Malta Stock Exchange Index in the year to 30 April 2016. This uplift in the MSE index has produced an increase in the Company's equity portfolio resulting in significant unrealised gain of EUR711,362 (2015: EUR310,026) for the year under review. The results for the year have also been materially an uplift in the value of the ground rents which has produced an unrealised valuation gain of EUR1,290,937.

The profit before tax for the year amounted to EUR2,374,028 (2015: a profit of EUR515,545). There was a tax charge of EUR250,296 (2015: EUR70,543). The net profit for the year ended 30 April 2016 was therefore EUR2,123,732 (2015: EUR445,002) which is principally made up of unrealised profits which are not available for distribution.

REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS

Dividend income over the twelve months has seen a 20% increase over the corresponding period due to higher dividend payouts by the larger locally listed Companies together with new investments purchased during the year. On the other hand, interest income decreased by 29% over the Company's term deposits have expired and were not renewed again. Income from the sale of rights has seen a fall of approx 50% from the previous year.

Administrative expenses are broadly in line with those of previous years. Total expenses for the period show a decrease of EUR65,460 over the previous year due in the main to the non-recurring costs associated with the delisting and simultaneous re-listing of the Company as a Property Company in October 2014.

DIRECTORS' REPORT - continued

PROPERTY

There have been no significant purchases or sales of property during the year under review. However, the Company recognised revaluation of its investment property and leasehold improvements based on valuations performed by independent architects. In line with this, the Company's property holdings excluding ground rents were professionally valued on 30 April 2016 at EUR2,551,400 (2015: EUR2,477,900) with a corresponding unrealised gain of EUR73,500 (2015: nil) as at April 2016.

MALTA STOCK EXCHANGE

In line with previous years, trading in Company shares has been extremely thin throughout the twelve month period under review. As at 30 April 2016, the share price stood at EUR2.35 (2015: EUR2.00) and was at EUR2.35 as at 21 July 2016. Over the year, the share price traded at a high of EUR2.36 (2015: EUR2.00) and a low of EUR1.995 (2015:EUR1.97).

NET ASSET VALUE

As at 30 April 2016, the Net Asset Value of the Company per share stood at EUR4.908 as compared to EUR4.229 at 30 April 2015. This increase has arisen in spite of a 1 for 10 bonus issued in January 2016 which increased the number of shares in issue to 2,014,898 (2015 : 1,831,716) and which was financed by means of a capitalisation of reserves. If the net asset value per share in 2015 had to be adjusted for the bonus issue, it would have stood at EUR3.84. Thus on a like for like basis the period under review has seen an increase of EUR1.07 in its value. As in previous years the share stands at a significant discount to the net asset value per share (47.88%). There are no objective reasons, other than market sentiment, for this disparity between the NAV and the share price.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SANTUMAS SHAREHOLDINGS PLC

We have audited the financial statements of Santumas Shareholdings plc ("the Company") set out on pages 14 to 42 which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 April 2016 and the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate for the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements:

  • · give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 30 April 2016, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union; and
  • · have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta.

We read the Statement of Compliance and consider the implication for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial statements included in the Annual Report.

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognising revenue. The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted. The company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 15 and plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date.

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES - continued

Standards, interpretations and amendments issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but not yet endorsed by the EU- continued

IFRS 9, 'Financial Instruments' introduces a logical approach for the classification of financial assets driven by cash flow characteristics and the business model in which an asset is held. The new model also results in a single impairment model being applied to all financial instruments. As part of IFRS 9 the IASB has introduced a new, expected loss impairment model that will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses. Specifically, the new Standard requires entities to account for expected credit losses from when financial instruments are first recognised and it lowers the threshold for recognition of full lifetime expected losses. IFRS 9 also introduces a substantially-reformed model for hedge accounting with enhanced disclosures about risk management activity. The new model represents a substantial overhaul of hedge accounting that aligns the accounting treatment with risk management activities. The standard is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Company will assess the effect that the standard will have on the financial statements in due course.

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below:

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue is reliably measured. The following specific revenue criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Interest income

Interest income is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method that is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Investment income

Ground rents and other rents are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accrual basis.

Dividend income is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when the right to receive the payment is established.

Upon disposal of investment properties consisting of land, leasehold property and ground rents capitalised, the difference between the proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount is recognised as a gain or loss through the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Taxes - continued

Deferred income tax

Deferred taxation is provided using the liability method, on temporary differences, at the reporting date, arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • · where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and at the time of transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and an . associate, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

Under this method the Company is required to make provision for deferred income taxes on the revaluation of certain non-current assets. Such deferred tax is charged or credited directly to the Statement of Comprehensive Income and is charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged in the same or a different period, directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that future taxable profit will be available such that realisation of the related tax benefit is probable.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the year-end date. All differences are taken to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Non monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as investment properties, leasehold properties under property and equipment and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • · In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
  • · In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • · Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • · Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
  • · Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. External valuers are involved for valuation of investment properties and leasehold properties at least every two years.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Investment properties consisting of land, buildings and leasehold property

Investment properties, consisting of properties not occupied by the Company and held to earn rentals and for capital appreciation, are regarded as long term investments are measured initially at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given, including acquisition charges associated with the investment. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met; and excludes the costs of day to day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the year-end date. This is based on market valuations performed by independent professional architects every two years or earlier whenever their fair values differ materially from their carrying amounts. In the year when a market valuation is not performed, an assessment of the fair value is performed to reflect market conditions at the year-end date. Gains or losses on changes in the fair values of investment properties are taken to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in accordance with IAS 40 "Investment Properties". Unrealised gains are subsequently transferred to other reserves in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year of retirement or disposal.

Investment properties consisting of ground rents capitalised

On 30 April 1990, the Directors capitalised ground rent. The value of this asset was included with long term assets with a resultant increase in the capitalisation reserve included within other reserves.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Leasehold property is subsequently measured at revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of revaluation less depreciation and impairment. All other property, plant and equipment, are subsequently stated at cost amounts less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment in value, if any.

Leasehold premises consists of property that is occupied by the Company as its offices.

It is Company policy to carry out a professional market valuation of leasehold every two years which is frequently enough to ensure that the fair value of the revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. To the extent that a revaluation results in the carrying amount of the asset, the increase is credited to the revaluation reserve within equity. To the extent that a revaluation results in a decrease in the carrying amount of the asset, the decrease is charged against the revaluation reserve to the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount held in the revaluation reserve in respect of that same asset; any excess of the decrease is taken to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment, other than leasehold property, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value based on prices prevailing at the date of acquisition, of each asset on a straight line basis over the expected useful life.

The annual rates used for this purpose are:

Fixtures and fittings 15.0
Equipment 33.3
Improvements to premises 10.0

Depreciation is provided on leasehold property to write off the valuation on a straight line basis over the remaining period of the lease.

Each year, the difference between the depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset (the depreciation charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income) and depreciation based on the asset's original cost, is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there are indications of impairment for all nonfinancial assets. If any such amount exists, or when impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to the recoverable amount.

Investments and other financial assets

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets on initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year end. The Company classifies its financial assets as fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables. The Company does not hold financial assets classified as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments or a financial guarantee contract. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Company assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from host contracts when the Company first becomes party to the contract. Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required.

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Investments and other financial assets - continued

Receivables

Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable.

Receivables are recognized and carried at cost.

Fair value

The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. For investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

Derecognition

A financial asset is primarily derecognised when:

  • · The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
  • · The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired

Assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Impairment of financial assets - continued

In relation to receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that the Company will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectible.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are composed of cash at bank and short term deposits. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash equivalents, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statements of Financial Position when there is currently a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Trade and settlement date accounting

All "regular way" purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the "trade date," that is, the date the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases and sales are purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised. A contingent liability is disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Employee benefits

The Company contributes towards the State pension in accordance with local legislation. Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on undiscounted basis and recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period they are incurred.

Events after the reporting date

Events after the reporting date are those events, favourable, that occur between the reporting date and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Adjusting events require the Company to adjust the amounts recognised in its financial statements while non-adjusting events do not require any adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

3.

In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect reported income, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgment are inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates and the differences may be material to the financial statements. These estimates are reviewed on a regular basis and if a change is needed, it is accounted in the period the changes become known. The most significant judgements and estimates are as follows:

Revaluation of property, plant and equipment and fair value of investment properties

The Company carries its investment properties at fair value, with changes in fair value being recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive In addition, it measures land buildings, including leasehold properties, at revalued amounts with changes in fair value being recognised in Other Comprehensive Income. This is based on market valuations performed by independent professional architects at least every two years. In a year when market valuations are not performed by the independent professional architect, an assessment of the fair value of investment properties consisting of land and building is performed to reflect market conditions at the year-end date.

The last market valuation was performed in April 2016 and the Company recognised fair values of investment properties and revaluations of property, plant and equipment (notes 10 and 11).

In the opinion of the management, except for the accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments made in the course of preparing these financial statements are not difficult, subjective or complex to a degree which would warrant their description as significant in terms of the requirements of IAS 1 (revised)-'Presentation of Financial Statements'.

The system consisting of both a 12% (2015: 12%) final withholding tax on the transfer value and 35% (2015: 35%) tax on the profit or gain was replaced by one final withholding tax of 8%/10% (2015: 8%/10%) on the value of the property transferred.

9. PROFIT PER SHARE

The profit per share of EUR1.05 (2015: EUR0.22) is calculated on the profit for the year attributable to the ordinary shareholders, divided by the average number of ordinary shares in issue and ranking for dividend during the year.

Fair value

Market valuations, with respect to investment property excluding ground rents, are performed by independent professional architects every two years or earlier whenever their fair values differ materially from their carrying amounts. In the year when a market valuation is not performed, an assessment of the fair

10. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES - CONTINUED

a. Land and building - continued

Fair value - continued

value is performed to reflect market conditions at the year-end date. For the valuation of ground rents, management on an annual basis reviews the major inputs used in the calculation of the fair value in line with local legislation and market conditions.

An independent valuation of the Company's investment property land and buildings was performed by valuers to determine the fair value as at 30 April 2016. The fair value movements were credited to profit and loss and subsequently transferred to other reserves under equity. As at 30 April 2016, management also assessed whether there are any significant changes to the significant inputs of the valuation.

The Company's investment property land and buildings consists mainly of plots of land with a carying amount of EUR2,152,800 (2015: EUR2,075,100) together with other commercial buildings with a carrying amount of EUR398,600 (2015: EUR402,800). The investment property has been categorised to fall within level 2 of the fair valuation hierarchy. The different levels in the fair value hierarchy have been defined in Note 12.

The Company's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels during the year. For all properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use.

Valuation techniques and inputs

For level 2 fair value of the investment property land and buildings, the valuation was determined primarily by the comparable method together with the capitalisation method which are based on directly observable inputs which do not require a significant level of adjustments.

b. Ground rents

Ground rents on property are received annually into perpetuity. Ground rent income relates to ground rent capitalisation.

These ground rents are redeemable and the ground rent capitalisation represents the redemption amount or the present value of the expected cash flows. The valuation of ground rents is determined by the capitalisation method, as explained for land and buildings. The capitalisation rate for non-revisable ground rents is determined by reference to local legislation whilst the capitalisation rate for revisable ground rents is based on inputs that reflect the current market conditions.

Information about fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Fair value Range of significant unobservable
E OTR Capitalisation rate
30 April 2016 1,895,652 3% - 5%
30 April 2015 612.692 5%

During the year, certain revisable ground rents were up for revision which led to higher annual ground rents receivable. The capitalisation rate was applied to the higher annual ground rents thus resulting in a higher fair value.

c. Fair Value hierarchy

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of investment property by valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair values are observable, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair are not based on observable market data.

For each valuation of investment property classified under as Level 3, annual rent or ground rent and capitalisation rate have been determined to be the significant unobservable inputs. The annual rent or ground rent, the higher the fair value will be and conversely the lower the annual rent or ground rent, the lower the fair value. The lower the capitalisation rate, the fair value will be and conversely the higher the capitalisation rate, the lower the fair value.

* This transfer relates to the accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date that was eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the revalued asset.

Leasehold buildings were acquired in the financial year ended 30 April 1993 at a cost of EUR34,097. The remaining life of the lease is 37 years. The Company uses the revaluation model for leasehold buildings.

These leasehold buildings were last revalued in April 2016 at EUR108,000. An independent valuation of the leasehold buildings was performed by same valuers for investment property land and building. The valuation for this commercial building was determined by the comparable method. It has been categorised to fall within Level 2 of the fair valuation hierarchy. There were no transfers between levels during the year. The different levels in the fair value hierarchy have been defined in Note 12.

Had leasehold buildings not been included in the financial statements at revaluation less accumulated depreciation, the carrying amount at 30 April 2016, based on cost less accumulated depreciation charged on cost, would have been EUR20,463 (2015: EUR21,033).

Fully depreciated fixtures, fittings and equipment are still in use.

12. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

Included with the financial assets classified as Level 2, is a Professional Investor Fund, the price of which started being quoted annually as from October 2014. Observable inputs that may otherwise be a Level 1 input will be rendered Level 2 if the information relates to a market that is not active. Accordingly, this investment was transferred from Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy to Level 2 during the financial year end 2015.

12. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS - continued

The fair value of financial assets classified as Level 3 was determined by reference to the net asset value of Companies. During the year the Company recognised fair value gains of Nil (2015: EUR2,342) with respect to financial assets classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. No dividend income was received during 2016 and 2015 from these investments. There were no movements in the holding of these investments during 2016 and 2015.

20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company's principal financial liabilities are composed of payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Company's operations. The Company has various financial assets such as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, receivables and cash at bank, which arise directly from its operations.

The Company did not enter into derivative transactions. It is, and has been throughout the year, the Company's policy that no trading in derivatives shall be undertaken.

The main risks arising from the Company's financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (which is composed of foreign exchange currency risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk). The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below.

20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES - continued

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities primarily from investments classified as fair value through profit or loss, receivables and deposits with banks.

The Company trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. Credit risk relating to financial assets is addressed through careful selection of the issuers of securities bought by the Company. The Company obtains expert technical advice from its stockbrokers and monitors the markets for changes in the credit status of companies in which securities are held.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of bonds as disclosed in notes 12 and each class of financial assets as disclosed in notes 13 and 14. The Directors are of the opinion that these amounts are recoverable in full. Cash at bank are placed with quality financial institutions. Other than ground rents receivable, mentioned in the following paragraph, none of the financial assets are neither past due nor impaired. Therefore, the Company has no significant concentration of credit risk.

No provisions have been made against ground rent receivables since the Company is entitled to enforce these amounts on the basis of contracts on which the property giving rise to the ground rents is available as a security.

The Company's exposure to concentration of risk as at 30 April 2016, arising from financial instruments exceeding 10% of the Net Asset Value of the Company with the same counterparty, amounted to EUR 1,687,886 (17.1% of NAV) and EUR834,708 (8.4% of NAV) and EUR 1,580,768 (16.0% of NAV). As at 30 April 2015 these exposures amounted to EUR1,376,645 (17.8% of NAV) and EUR1,312,046 (16.9% of NAV) and EUR980,413 (12.7% of NAV).

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The Company monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning tool. This tool considers the maturity of its financial liabilities and projected cash flows from operations.

The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of potential borrowing facilities and payables.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of financial assets will fluctuate due to changes in the market variables such as exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices.

Foreign exchange currency risk

The Company has sterling denominated cash in bank equivalent to EUR2,462 (2015: EUR2,643) and transactional currency exposures arising from its US dollar denominated financial assets at fair value through profit or loss with a carrying amount equivalent EUR8,676 (2015: EUR53,572). The Company monitors movements in the currencies in which these assets are held afthough they do not significantly affect the Company's Statement of Financial Position.

Interest rate risk

The bank overdrafts are subject to rates of interest determined by the banks, which may be revised at the banks' discretion depending on movements in banks' base rates. The Company's favourable bank balances earn interest at rates determined by the banks. In view of the Company's marginal net cash and cash equivalents, the amount of interest rates risk is not considered to be significant.

20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES - continued

Market risk - continued

Interest rate risk - continued

The Company's financial assets are not significantly influenced by changes in interest rates since most holdings are equity and managed funds. A reasonably possible change in interest rates is not expected to have a significant effect on the fair value of fixed interest rate bonds.

Equity price risk

Equity price risk is the risk that the fair values of equities decrease as the result of changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual stocks.

The effect on the Statement of Comprehensive Income (as a result of a change in the fair value of equity instruments held at fair value through profit or loss at 30 April) due to a reasonably possible change in the Malta Stock Exchange index, with all other variables held constant is as follows:

Change in equity price
0/0
Effect on profit
before tax
EUR'000
2016 4/-4 216/-216
2015 4/-4 176/-176

Fair value measurement

At 30 April 2016 and 2015, the carrying amounts of receivables, cash at bank, and payables approximated their fair values. Refer to Notes 10, 11 and 12 for fair value techniques and the following fair value measurement hierarchy of investment property, property plant and equipment, and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Capital management

The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure that it maintains healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust capital structure, the Company may adjust dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or process during the year ended 30 April 2016 and 2015.
