INTERIM REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT
I present the Company's Interim Results for the six month period
to 30 September 2023. Revenue for the period was GBPnil and cost of
sales was GBPnil giving a gross profit for the period of
GBPnil.
Mortgage and private loan interest was paid during the period of
GBP31,589of which GBP14,810 was capitalized as part of inventory as
relating to the development at Speldhurst with a further GBP38,643
of loan note equity interest being accrued in the period.
The result of the above is a loss before taxation for the period
of GBP214,270.
The directors continue to consider relevant information
including the current cost-of-living crisis, higher interest rates
and higher inflation, which are driving a challenging market and
have performed a robust analysis of future cash flows.
Based on their assessments and having regard to resources
available to the entity, the directors have concluded that they can
continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
financial statements.
A summary of activities in the 6 months to 30 September 2023 for
the Group are as follows:
- Trafalgar New Homes has continued to develop the site at
Speldhurst and the building of a single dwelling is progressing
well with no adverse issues affecting the planned completion by the
end of the year.
- Selmat sold the final investment property in Hildenborough in
September 2023 for GBP940,000 before costs.
- A placing of shares was carried out in September 2023 raising
a gross amount of GBP125,000, before costs, to be used for working
capital purposes.
- The Group continues to look for opportunities in vertical
farming but the cost of energy in the UK has meant the Group are
widening its search to areas outside of the UK.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This financial information is for Trafalgar Property Group Plc
("the Company") and its subsidiary undertakings. The Company is
incorporated in England and Wales.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim consolidated financial information has been prepared
with regard to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
as adopted for use in the United Kingdom (UK IFRS) and those parts
of the Companies Act 2006 that are relevant to companies, which
report in accordance with IFRS. The interim financial information
incorporates the results for the Group for the six month period
from 1 April 2023 to 30 September 2023. The results for the year
ended 31 March 2023 have been extracted from the statutory
financial statements for the Group for the year ended 31 March
2023. The financial information set out in these interim
consolidated financial information does not constitute statutory
accounts as defined in S434 of the Companies Act 2006. They do not
include all of the information required for full annual financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2023,
which contained an unqualified audit report and have been filed
with the Registrar of Companies. They did not contain statements
under S498 of the Companies Act 2006.
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of
computation have been followed in these unaudited interim financial
statements as those which were applied in the preparation of the
group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March
2023.
The interim consolidated financial information incorporates the
financial statements of Trafalgar Property Group Plc and its
subsidiaries.
The interim financial information for the six months ended 30
September 2023 was approved by the directors on 15 December
2023.
3. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
For the purpose of IFRS 8, the chief operating decision maker
("CODM") takes the form of the Board of Directors. The Directors'
opinion of the business of the Group is that the principal activity
of the Group was residential property development and there is
considered to be one reportable geographical segment, that of
property development carried on in the UK. The internal and
external reporting is on a consolidated basis with transactions
between Group companies eliminated on consolidation. Therefore, the
financial information of the single segment is the same as that set
out in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the
consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated
statement of financial position and cash-flows.

For the purposes of preparing the consolidated interims for the
Group, share capital represents the nominal value of the issued
share capital of 0.1p per share (2022:0.1p per share). Share
premium represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value
consideration received for equity shares net of expenses plus
deferred shares of 0.9p after issued share capital of 1p
On 12 September 2023, the Company issued 125,000,000 new
ordinary shares at 0.1p fully paid up in cash at 0.1p per share
under a placing which was announced on 18 August 2023, raising
GBP125,000 before expenses.
On the 31 July 2022 the Company agreed with Mr C C Johnson a
consolidation and variation of terms of the two unsecured
convertible loan notes and direct debt held by him. The conversion
of the total amount owed to him by the Company (GBP905,000) has
resulted in the issue to Mr C C Johnson of a new unsecured
conversation loan note for an aggregate amount of GBP905,000,
expiring 31 July 2024.
The new unsecured convertible loan note is convertible in full
into 226,250,000 ordinary shares of 0.4p per ordinary share and can
be converted by Mr Johnson, subject inter alia to his entire
holding being less than 29.99 per cent of the voting rights in
issue in the Company.
The new unsecured convertible loan note carried the right upon a
conversion, to the grant of warrants to subscribe for ordinary
shares on a one for one basis, exercisable at the conversion price
for a period of two year from the date of grant.
Loan note equity reserve is the amount that has been provided
for in respect of the difference between the cash value and
liability element of the loan notes.
The convertible loan notes have been accounted for as having
both a debt and an equity element. This results in the creation of
a loan note equity reserve at the point of issue. This loan note
equity reserve is the difference between the loan note value
received by the company of GBP905,000 (2022 GBP800,000) and the
fair value of a debt only instrument with a 10% imputed interest
rate and a final settlement figure of GBP905,000 in July 2024. This
10% imputed interest rate of GBP38,643 (2022: GBP24,242), is
managements' best estimate as to the interest rate that would be
expected from the market for an unsecured loan of GBP905,000
without a conversion element.
