Chairman's Statement

On behalf of the Board, I present herewith Trafalgar Property Group's results for the year ended 31 March 2018 which show that two house sales were recorded in the year. In previous years we have sold properties off plan or prior to legal completion but for the last three years we only record sales on legal completion rather than on exchange. We have therefore concentrated on constructing the properties with a view to marketing them in the following trading year and can report that five completions have taken place since the year end. The Board remains confident that with our current level of construction activity that the Company is well placed to deliver significantly improved results for future trading years.

We will continue to explore the potential for acquiring new sites that should produce increased turnover and a significant improvement in future profit levels.

Financials

The year under review saw Group turnover at £906,484 (2017: £30,000), with a loss after tax of £ 424,903 (2017: Loss £298,397). The cash on the balance sheet at the end of the year was £458,209 (2017: £100,808) and the Group continues to have sufficient capital for all planned activities.

Business Environment and Outlook

Political uncertainties continue to affect our sector of the property market. However, due to our relatively low levels of activity we do not see this as a major risk. In fact, we now have several units ready for occupation.

As a Group, our recent move towards the assisted living sector gives us an exciting opportunity to expand into fresh areas of residential units where we see an enormous demand, especially in the South-East.

The addition of a new Director, Dan Stocks, strengthens the Board with his particular expertise being in the sector for assisted living developments. This retains a good balance of complementary skills on the Board. We are currently progressing offers of finance alongside our planning applications so that we should be well placed to commence our developments as soon as planning permits.

I would refer you to Chris Johnson's Strategic Report that covers our activities in more detail.
