Philip Beinhaker, Executive Chairman, commented:

"The Company's vision for the future sustainability and value growth from the
Sutton Harbour and Barbican area is taking shape and good progress has been
made on delivery of our strategy in the current financial year to date.
Reinvigorating the Barbican side of the Harbour, which is most popular with
visitors, has been the visually remarkable refurbishment of the Victorian
landmark Old Barbican Market building, adding to the appeal of the area with
two new national covenant tenants and a third to complete  shortly; the
Company has plans to deliver a new Fisheries Complex in collaboration with the
Local Authority to assure the vibrancy of the commercial fishing port
activity; the Company is nearing completion of the first new building (Harbour
Arch Quay) since 2009; and, this re-initiated development activity will
continue with a programme to develop new property on the eastern side of the
Harbour, which includes the consented Sugar Quay building. This is a wholistic
plan to support value creation for shareholders from the existing
Company-owned harbour assets and to assure prosperity of the harbour environ,
strengthen the linkages to the City Centre to the North and the Ocean to the
South, and to benefit our trading activities (marinas, fisheries, rental
properties and car parks) for the medium to long term. The Company has
committed significant investment to its plans during this reporting period.
 The pace of future investment will be harmonised with economic conditions as
they take shape."

Related Party Transaction

 

On 15 December 2022 the Company extended the existing related party loan
finance, announced on 27 April 2022, by £280,000 to provide additional
headroom in the Company's facilities, bringing the total shareholder loan
facilities to £2.580m. The unsecured loan facilities are with Beinhaker
Design Services Ltd ("BDSL") (assigned from FB Investors LLP), who provided
the additional funding, and Rotolok (Holdings) Limited (together the "Loans"
or the "Facilities"). The Loans carry a fixed 8% gross annual interest rate
with the option, included as a variation at the same time as the above
extension, at the discretion of the Company, to capitalise some or all of the
interest at a fixed 10% annual interest rate, and are repayable by 31 May
2024. There are no other fees payable to FB Investors LLP and Rotolok
(Holdings) Limited under the Facilities.

 

The Loans extension and variation constitutes a related party transaction for
the purposes of the AIM Rules, as Beinhaker Design Services Ltd is controlled
by the Beinhaker family and Rotolok (Holdings) Limited is connected to
non-executive director Sean Swales. The directors, other than Philip
Beinhaker, Corey Beinhaker and Sean Swales, having consulted with the
Company's nominated adviser, Strand Hanson, consider that the terms of the
Loans extension and variation are fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders
are concerned.

 

 

INTERIMS RESULTS

 

Executive Chairman's Statement

For the six-month period to 30 September 2022

Results and Financial position

Profit before taxation for the six-month period to 30 September 2022 was
£0.223m compared to £0.327m for the comparative period to 30 September 2021.
Trading through the first half year was strong, with yet another record
marinas season, good seasonal car parks trading, and occupancy of the rented
properties upheld. Against these positive results, cost inflation and
increases in the interest rates on the corporate debt have resulted in the
modest decline in profitability. Energy cost increases did not impact the
results until after the end of this reporting period.

 

As at 30 September 2022, net assets were £56.434m (c.43.43 pence per share),
up from £56.211m (c.43.26 pence per share) at 31 March 2022. Net Debt has
increased to £26.972m, £2.564m more than the position at 31 March 2022 of
£24.408m net debt. This increase was fully anticipated as the Company drew
down for financing its portion of development finance for construction of
Harbour Arch Quay and financed wholly the major refurbishment of the Old
Barbican (fish) Market. These investments increase the value of the Company's
assets and prospects for debt reduction once construction is completed. As is
normal within the Company's annual cash cycle, the cash position typically
peaks in late March as marina fees are collected and rents are received and
falls to an annual low point by mid-autumn. As at 30 September 2022 gearing
stood at 47.8% up from 43.4% as at 31 March 2022.

 

Trading Report

During the first half year, the marinas were mostly occupied to capacity with
the occupancy rate as at 30 September 2022 at 98%. The Company sets its prices
6 months in advance of the season and whilst the tariff had been increased
after a two year freeze, the increase was below the inflation rate that
transpired, and this did result in a lower profit from this business activity
than the previous year. Fishing results were on par with last year, albeit to
remain competitive in the local market, and to encourage growth in the fishing
business, margins on fuel sales have been reduced. Overall, contribution from
the Marine trading segment was £0.681m in the six month period to 30
September 2022 (30 Sept 2021: £0.726m).

 

Since the half year end, the Company has started to sell marina berths for the
next season starting 1 April 2023. To date sales are on par with the same time
last year. It is very encouraging that over half of the berths for the next
season have now been paid for in full, with deposits now being received to
secure the remaining berths. Prices for the King Point Marina have been raised
in line with inflation. Berthing fees at Sutton Harbour are being held to
reflect the upcoming disruption that will result from the replacement of the
lock gate cills. These works are now planned to take place in two periods:
Autumn 2023 and early Spring 2024. The works will necessitate periods of
restricted access to the harbour which will impact the normal access and
egress for both leisure and commercial harbour users. Preparing for the works
has been subject to stakeholder consultation to explore all practical
possibilities to mitigate the impact on users and the degree of the
disruption. Sutton Lock is a national defence for flood protection and the
works are being undertaken and paid for by the Environment Agency.

 

During the period, occupancy of tenanted properties and payment of rents
remained consistent. In the second half of the year tenants will decant from
North Quay House which after 27 years of continuous occupation requires
updating. The Company currently has various interests for new lettings of the
building.

 

As expected, power costs from 1 October 2022 rose some 3.5 fold even after
allowing for the government subsidy and this will impact the results for the
second half year. The Company is working on any savings that can be made,
whilst ensuring that normal operations are maintained. The Company recharges a
significant proportion of its power consumption to tenants and other facility
users and prices have been increased to reflect the higher costs. Debt
servicing costs have also risen as bank base rates have increased throughout
the period. The Company has no interest rate fixes in place.

 

Development / Regeneration

 

Harbour Arch Quay

The full height concrete structure of the 14 apartment building, Harbour Arch
Quay, is now in place. External and internal fitting out works are now
starting, and the building is on target for completion in March/April 2023.
Four exchanges for apartments have now taken place with three further
reservations, including the penthouse, progressing to exchange. Development
financing for the completion of the building is being drawn down from a £5m
facility now that the Company has made its agreed contributions from its
general banking facilities.

 

Former Fish Market

The recently refurbished Old Barbican (fish) Market is now occupied by one
tenant, The Cornish Bakery, with Pavers (shoes) due to open shortly and the
tenancy for the third unit is pending completion. The refurbishment of this
listed property provides a resplendent centre piece to the historic Barbican
area and presents as a 'floating glass box' whilst retaining the original
elegant Victorian structure. Total rents for the building will be more than
50% higher than with the previous tenancy.

 

Development Lands

The Former Airport Site is a major land resource and strategic asset of the
Company within the City of Plymouth. The Company had invested heavily in the
site during the time that the airport was operational along with investments
in the owned airline company. Financial failure of the aviation operations led
to closure of the airport in 2011, a decision ratified by the Local Authority,
and revocation of aviation operations licences by the Civil Aviation
Authority. The Company has financed the debt resulting from the aviation
operations for over a decade and, in addition, the Company faithfully expended
funds for the maintenance and protection of the site and the material assets,
including the land management, environmental control, security, etc. The
approved Joint Local Plan of 2019 provided for the safeguarding of the site
for potential aviation uses for a maximum five years, owing to the
determination of the strategic importance of the site. Accordingly, the
Company is preparing for submission of a masterplan for the re-development of
the site with a range of appropriate uses within the timeframe of the
safeguard which expires in early 2024. The redevelopment of the site will
enable needed land for expansion of:

 

·      the Derriford Hospital (major health centre in the South West and
largest employer in Plymouth).

·      Marjon University.

·      Sites for businesses and commercial operations, unable to find
lands within the city, and the bases for economic growth.

·      Senior housing, near to the hospital.

·      Student housing near to the University.

·      Market Housing.

 

Financial Structure

The Company has a plan to manage the current debt and to achieve debt
reduction. This plan is based on the following sets of actions:

 

1.     The Company is working with its bankers to extend the current
banking facilities by one year and will then prepare to secure a longer term
agreement to meet medium term financing needs.

2.     Development / Regeneration - The Harbour Arch Quay development at
Sutton Harbour is scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2023 and is
expected to yield some £3m net of all extended financing and building costs.

3.     To provide additional headroom in the Company's facilities, the
Company has extended the Related Party Loan finance by £280,000, bringing the
total shareholder loan creditor to £2.580m. The additional loan was advanced
by Beinhaker Design Services Limited, a 50% shareholder in FB Investors LLP
who own 72.91% share capital of the Company. Philip Beinhaker and Corey
Beinhaker, who are both Directors of the Company, are Directors of Beinhaker
Design Services Limited. The Directors of the Company regarded as independent
from the Related Party Loans, agreed this loan extension was in the best
interests of shareholders and the Company due to funding flexibility and being
terms competitive to market rates for similar short term flexible finance.

4.     Realisation of the value of the Former Airport Site through
development and sales of lands.

5.     Further redevelopment of lands on the east side of Sutton Harbour.
The Company has recently secured lands currently used for a wide range of
construction related supplies and other storage and land extensively used with
limited employment. These lands have been identified by the Plymouth City
Council as a regeneration area for a mixture of uses including housing,
commercial, business activity and other societal activities. Following the
completion of the Harbour Arch Quay, the Company will proceed with development
of these industrial lands, including the development of the approved Sugar
Quay site, along with lands east of Sutton Road.

6.     Fish Quay - The Company has worked with the PCC, the Fishing
Industry and other interested parties for the redevelopment of the Fish Quay.
This redevelopment will provide an enhancement to the Fishing industry with
renewed and more efficient operations facilities. Also included will be a new
retail fish market open to the general public. Enhanced circulation in this
south-east sector of the Sutton Harbour area will become a major destination
and attraction for residents and visitors to Plymouth. This project will be
part of the vision of Plymouth as "Port City" and enhance the connection
between the water and the City Centre in Britain's Ocean City.

 

Summary

The Company's vision for the future sustainability and value growth from the
Sutton Harbour and Barbican area is taking shape and good progress has been
made on delivery of our strategy in the current financial year to date.
Reinvigorating the Barbican side of the Harbour, which is most popular with
visitors, has been the visually remarkable refurbishment of the Victorian
landmark Old Barbican Market building, adding to the appeal of the area with
two new national covenant tenants and a third to complete shortly; the Company
has plans to deliver a new Fisheries Complex in collaboration with the Local
Authority to assure the vibrancy of the commercial fishing port activity; the
Company is nearing completion of the first new building (Harbour Arch Quay)
since 2009; and, this re-initiated development activity will continue with a
programme to develop new property on the eastern side of the Harbour, which
includes the consented Sugar Quay building. This is a wholistic plan to
support value creation for shareholders from the existing Company-owned
harbour assets and to assure prosperity of the harbour environ, strengthen the
linkages to the City Centre to the North and the Ocean to the South, and to
benefit our trading activities (marinas, fisheries, rental properties and car
parks) for the medium to long term. The Company has committed significant
investment to its plans during this reporting period.  The pace of future
investment will be harmonised with economic conditions as they take shape.

Notes to Interim Report

 

General information

 

This consolidated interim financial information does not comprise statutory
accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 were approved by the Board
of Directors on 19 July 2022 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The
report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain
any statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.

 

Copies of the Group's financial statements are available from the Company's
registered office, Sutton Harbour Office, Guy's Quay, Sutton Harbour,
Plymouth, PL4 0ES and on the Company's website www.sutton-harbour.co.uk.

 

This consolidated interim financial information has not been audited.

 

 

Basis of preparation

 

The consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction
with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022, which
have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Interpretation
Committee (IFRIC) interpretations as endorsed by the European Union, and those
parts of the Companies Acts 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under
IFRS.

 

Accounting policies

Except as described below, the accounting policies applied are consistent with
those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022, as
described in those annual financial statements.

 

Accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income
and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the
period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both
current and future periods.

 

Segment information

 

Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed
by the Board of Directors that are used to make strategic decisions.

 

The Board of Directors considers the business from an operational perspective
as having only one geographical segment, with all operations being carried out
in the United Kingdom.

 

The Board of Directors considers the performance of the operating segments
using operating profit. The segment information provided to the Board of
Directors for the reportable segments for the period ended 30 September 2022
is as follows:

(2021: 120,765,411; year ended 31 March 2022 120,765,411) ordinary shares
after adjusting for the effects of share options in issue: 237,972 ordinary
