INTERIM DIRECTORS' REPORT

This interim report is published in terms of Chapter 5 of the Capital Market Rules as prescribed by the Mata Financial Services Authority in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Markets Act, 1990.

The interim condensed financial statements have been extracted from the Company's unaudited accounts for the six months ended 31 October 2023 and its comparative period in 2022. The comparative Statement of Financial Position has been extracted from the audited financial statements as at 30 April 2023. The interim condensed statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (14S) 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' issued by the IASB and adopted by the EU. In terms of Capital Market Rule 5.75.5, the Directors state that the half yearly financial report has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's independent auditor.

Principal Activity

The principal activity during the six-months continued to be the carrying out of investment activities in the form of a listed Property Company. Maintenance and administration of a relatively large ground rent holding and the active management of a diversified local equity and bond portfolio, in conjunction with the sourcing of suitable properties to be held for their rental yield and appreciation potential continue to form the essence of the Company's operations.

Results

The interim condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income is set out on page 5.

The profit before tax for the six-month period to 31 October 2023 was EUR 346,006 (2022: EUR 419,526). There was a tax charge for the six-months of EUR 74,070 (2022: EUR 51,304). This resulted in a profit after tax for the six-month period to 31 October 2023 of EUR 271,936 (2022: EUR 368,222).

Portfolio

The period under review has seen a positive fair value movement of EUR 225,616 (2022: EUR 99,710). As the portfolio is made up in the main of companies listed on the Malta Stock Exchange the appreciation or otherwise of the share price of such companies, particularly the large, capitalised stocks, directly affects the performance of the portfolio and the positive or negative fair value movement is a direct reflection of this.

Dividend income for the period was EUR 139,999 (2022: EUR 83,529), whilst the net income from the primary activity of the company for the six-month period amounted to EUR 418,111 (2022: EUR 483,806).

Net asset value

At 31 October 2023 the Net Asset Value per share of the Company stood at EUR 1.624 compared to EUR1.587 as at 30 April 2023. The Net Asset Value has been calculated using the same methodology used to calculate the Earnings per Share.

(i)

4. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

The Company's investment property comprises of land and buildings and the capitalisation of ground rents.

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 period when a market valuation is not performed, an assessment of the fair value is performed to reflect market conditions at the period-end date.

The valuation is determined primarily by the comparable method together with the capitalisation method which are based on directly or indirectly observable inputs which do not require a significant level of adjustments.

Comparable methou: Market prices	based on database of valuations and sales of properties in the relevant area;
Capitalisation method:
Future rental cash inflows	based on the actual location, type and quality of the properties and external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties;
Capitalisation rates	based on actual location, size and quality of the properties and taking into account market data at the valuation date.

The valuation of ground rents is determined by the capitalisation method, as explained above. 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.

For the valuation of ground rents, management on a periodical basis reviews the major inputs used in the calculation of the fair value in line with local legislation and market conditions.

The valuation processes and techniques utilised in preparing these interim condensed financial statements were consistent with those applied in the preparation of financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2023.

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

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

4. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES - continued

• 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 value that are not based on observable market data.

	lotal	Level I	Level Z	Level 3
	ETR	ETR	ان ( ) R	ETR
Fair value as at 31 October 2023 (unaudited)	5,394,297			3.564.000 1.830.297
Fair value as at 30 April 2023 (audited)	5.394.297		3,564,000	1.830.297

For each valuation of investment property classified as Level 3, annual 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 conver 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

5. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. This designation results in more relevant information because this group of financial assets is managed, and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis. During the year, the Company's investment portfolio saw a positive fair value movement of EUR 225,616 (2022: EUR99,710). During the current financial period, there were additions amounting to EUR 60,937 (2022: EUR32,039) and no disposals (2022: nil). During the current financial period, the company did not receive any bonus shares (2022: EUR2,369).

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

• Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2: other techniques for 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 value that are not based on observable market data.

The Company's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as 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.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss - continued

Included with the financial assets classified as Level 2, is a Professional Investor Fund, the price of which is quoted on an ad hoc basis. 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.

The fair value of financial assets classified as Level 3 was determined by reference to the net asset value of the investees. During 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognise any fair value gains with respect to financial assets classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. No dividend income was received during the first six-months to 31% October 2023 and the first six months to 31% October 2022 from these investments. There were no movements in the holding of these investments during 2023 and 2022.

Other financial assets and liabilities

As at 31 October 2023 and 30 April 2023, the carrying amounts of receivables, cash at bank and payables approximated their fair values. These are measured using a Level 2 valuation technique.
