ALPHA REAL TRUST LIMITED ("ART" OR THE "COMPANY" OR THE "GROUP")

ART ANNOUNCES ITS HALF YEAR RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019

· NAV per ordinary share 213.5p: 30 September 2019 (204.3p: 31 March 2019).

· Basic earnings for the six months ended 30 September 2019 of 5.9p per ordinary share (33.1p per ordinary share and 33.5p per A share for the year ended 31 March 2019).

· Adjusted earnings for the six months ended 30 September 2019 of 3.0p per ordinary share (3.9p per ordinary and A share for year ended 31 March 2019).

· Declaration of a quarterly dividend of 1.0p per ordinary share expected to be paid on 10 January 2020.

· Increased portfolio weighting towards secured loan investment: ART continues to augment and diversify its portfolio of secured senior and secured mezzanine loan investments. As at 30 September 2019, the size of ART's secured loan portfolio was £47.5 million, representing 38.6% of the investment portfolio; post period end, further loans totalling £3.4 million have been funded.

· UK industrial portfolio: the Company increased its shareholding in Alpha UK Property Fund Asset Company (No 2) Limited to 100% from 33.6%, with the purchase consideration being paid by way of re-issue of ART ordinary shares from treasury.

· H2O shopping centre Madrid: record visitor numbers were recorded in the nine months to September 2019. Following a successful transfer of additional building rights to the shopping centre, a pre-let commitment has been signed for a new retail park unit which is to be created on the surface parking area.

David Jeffreys, Chairman of Alpha Real Trust, commented:

"ART's diversified portfolio continues to increase the weighting towards cashflow driven investments, particularly senior debt, whilst retaining scope for creating capital value growth. Following an active period of capital recycling, ART currently focusses on asset-backed lending, debt investments and high return property investments in Western Europe that are capable of delivering strong risk-adjusted cashflows.

ART continues to actively augment and diversify its portfolio of secured real estate loan and secured mezzanine loan investments which are expected to enhance the Company's current earnings. Over the past twelve months the loan portfolio has more than doubled, with £18.4 million of investment into the secured loan portfolio completing in the six month period ended 30 September 2019, with an additional £3.4 million of loans granted post period end.

As the Company continues to actively reposition its investments to deliver attractive income returns, for the medium term, the Company's returns are likely to see greater contributions from the growing senior debt and mezzanine loan portfolio and less from capital gains. The Company maintains an active pipeline of potential new secured senior and mezzanine loans and equity investment opportunities under review."

Chairman's statement

I am pleased to present the Company's annual report and accounts for the six months ended 30 September 2019.

It has been an active period for ART in which the Company has continued to focus on recycling capital into cashflow driven investments, and in particular asset backed lending, while reducing exposure to development and leasing risk.

In line with ART's approach to actively manage shareholder returns, the Company undertook a tender offer as a result of which 13,065,348 ordinary shares were validly tendered in July 2019, representing approximately 19.48 per cent of the Company's voting shares. All valid tenders were subsequently satisfied in full.

Income focussed investment

Following an active period of capital recycling, ART currently focusses on asset-backed lending, debt investments and high return property investments in Western Europe that are capable of delivering strong risk-adjusted cashflows. In line with this focus, capital is predominantly being deployed to augment and diversify its portfolio of secured real estate senior and secured mezzanine loan investments. Over the medium term the Company's returns are likely to see greater contributions from the growing senior debt and mezzanine loan portfolio and less from capital gains.

The Company continues to maintain a pipeline of new investment opportunities under active review which compete for capital allocation. ART benefits from the depth of experience, strength and size of its Investment Manager. Alpha Real Capital has a well resourced team of investment professionals based throughout the UK and Europe. ART's active management approach has helped deliver improvements in underlying asset values, in both directly and indirectly held investments across our investment markets.

New secured lending investment

The Company's portfolio of secured senior and mezzanine loan investments continues to increase in scale and diversity. The loans are typically secured on real estate investment and development assets with attractive risk-adjusted income returns.

As at 30 September 2019, ART had invested a total amount of £47.5 million across thirty-eight loans, of which seven were completed during the quarter to 30 September 2019. Over the past twelve months the loan portfolio has more than doubled, with £18.4 million of investment into the secured loan portfolio completing in the six month period ended 30 September 2019, with an additional £3.4 million of loans granted post period end.

During the period ended 30 September 2019, six loans were fully repaid for £4.5 million (including accrued interest and exit fees) and six loans were partly repaid by £4.5 million. Post period end, loan repayments of £3.4 million were received.

Each loan will typically have a term of up to two years, a maximum 75% loan to gross development value ratio and be targeted to generate attractive risk-adjusted income returns. Repayment proceeds will be reinvested into new facilities. The Company continues to develop a strong pipeline of new lending opportunities.

Acquisition of 100% interest in UK industrial portfolio

In September 2019, the Company announced that it acquired 66.4% of the shares in Alpha UK Property Fund Asset Company (No 2) Limited ("Alpha2"). The acquisition increased ART's ownership interest in Alpha2 to 100%. The Alpha2 portfolio consisted of two unleveraged industrial assets located in England and has a net asset value of £16.2 million as at 30 September 2019.

The shares in Alpha2 were purchased from Antler Investment Holdings Limited, a related party to the Company. The shares in Alpha2 were purchased at its adjusted net asset value with its portfolio independently valued as at 31 August 2019. The purchase consideration for the increased Alpha2 shareholding was satisfied by the re-issue from treasury of 5,030,284 ordinary shares in ART at an issue price equivalent to ART's estimated adjusted net asset value of 211.4p per share based upon the Company's net asset value as at 30 June 2019 with adjustments made for dividends paid and share buybacks completed, including the Company's tender offer, following this date. The total consideration was therefore £10.6 million and has been accounted for as a share based payment in accordance with IFRS 2.

Post period end, the sale of the penultimate asset in the Alpha2 portfolio completed realising proceeds of £5.2 million. The sale price was in line with the asset's 30 September 2019 valuation.

H2O, Madrid

ART has a 30% stake in joint venture with CBRE Global Investors in the H2O shopping centre in Madrid. H2O continues to benefit from ongoing asset management initiatives, attracting record visitor numbers during the nine-month period to 30 September 2019, increasing 6.6% above the same period in 2018.

Earlier in 2019, 9,000 square metres of building rights were transferred to the H2O plot from a small vacant site located in the same planning zone and held as part of the H2O investment. An active leasing programme has helped secure a pre-let of a 1,100 square metre retail park unit. Construction has commenced and is targeted for completion in the first quarter of 2020. The new unit is to be located on part of the centre's surface car park area, as envisaged within a recently completed masterplan design for the shopping centre.

Selective asset disposals

ART owns Unity and Armouries, a development site located in central Birmingham with planning consent for 90,000 square feet of net saleable space comprising 162 residential apartments with ground floor commercial areas. A sale of the investment is being pursued.

Galaxia, India

ART holds a 50.0% shareholding in a joint venture that owns an 11.2 acre development site in NOIDA, in the National Capital Region, India. Following a breach of the terms of the shareholders agreement by its joint venture partner, Logix Group ("Logix"), ART initiated arbitration proceedings which were awarded in the Company's favour. ART subsequently successfully defended appeals by Logix at the Delhi High Court. Logix latterly appealed to the Supreme Court of India, where hearings are on-going.

ART continues to actively pursue Logix directors for the recovery of the award. As at 30 September 2019, the sum awarded to ART, including the previously recovered deposits, has accrued to £15.5 million at the period end exchange rates. The Directors, taking into consideration legal advice received following Logix's challenge of the Award and following the recovery of INR 100 million (£1.1 million) deposited by Logix at the Supreme Court, consider it appropriate to carry this joint venture in its accounts at INR 350 million (£4.0 million) (31 March 2019: INR 350 million (£3.9 million)). The amount recognised in the accounts does not include the additional compensation awarded by the courts due to uncertainty over timing and final value of the award.

Post period end, in November 2019, the Supreme Court ruled that ART was entitled to withdraw a further INR 100 million (£1.1 million) deposited by Logix with the court. The Company has since made an application to withdraw funds. Further hearings are scheduled for December 2019.

Results and dividends

Share buybacks

Under the general authority, approved by Shareholders on 8 January 2019, the Company announced a tender offer on 14 June 2019 for up to 16,666,771 ordinary shares at a price (before expenses) of 175.0 pence per share. In total 13,065,348 ordinary shares were validly tendered under the tender offer. All purchased ordinary shares were cancelled.

The Company additionally purchased 62,124 shares in the market during the six month period ended 30 September 2019: these shares are held in treasury.

As at the date of this announcement, the ordinary share capital of the Company is 61,165,783 (including 1,940,797 ordinary shares held in treasury) and the total voting rights in the Company are 59,224,986.

Dividends

Adjusted earnings for the six months ended 30 September 2019 are £1.8 million (3.0 pence per ordinary share, see note 9 of the financial statements). This compares with adjusted earnings per ordinary share of 2.5 pence for the same period in 2018.

The Board announces a dividend of 1.0 pence per ordinary share which is expected to be paid on 10 January 2020 (ex-dividend date 12 December 2019 and record date 13 December 2019).

The dividends paid and declared for the twelve months to 30 September 2019 totalled 3.6 pence per ordinary share representing an annual dividend yield of 2.3% p.a. on the average share price over the twelve months to 30 September 2019.

The net asset value per ordinary share at 30 September 2019 is 213.5 pence per share (31 March 2019: 204.3 pence per ordinary share) (see note 10 of the financial statements).

Scrip dividend alternative

Shareholders of the Company have the option to receive shares in the Company in lieu of a cash dividend, at the absolute discretion of the Directors, from time to time.

The number of ordinary shares that an Ordinary Shareholder will receive under the Scrip Dividend Alternative will be the average of the closing middle market quotations of an ordinary share for five consecutive dealing days after the day on which the ordinary shares are first quoted "ex" the relevant dividend.

The Board has elected to offer the scrip dividend alternative to Shareholders for the dividend for the quarter ended 30 September 2019. Shareholders who returned the Scrip Mandate Form and elected to receive the scrip dividend alternative will receive shares in lieu of the next dividend. Shareholders who have not previously elected to receive scrip may complete a Scrip Mandate Form (this can be obtained from the registrar: contact Computershare (details below)), which must be returned by 20 December 2019 to benefit from the scrip dividend alternative for the next dividend.

Financing

As at 30 September 2019 the Group has one direct bank loan of €9.5 million (£8.4 million), a non-recourse facility used to finance the acquisition of the Hamburg property.

Further details of individual asset financing can be found under the individual investment review sections later in this report.

Brexit

While the UK Parliament has demonstrated its wish to avoid a 'no-deal Brexit', there appears little consensus about what form any future arrangement with the European Union should take. No material adverse impacts have been noted within the Company's portfolio to date and risks are mitigated by the Company's investments held in Europe. However, the Board continues to monitor the situation for potential risks to the Company's investments. The economic backdrop is highly dynamic and the spread of possible outcomes is wide. In this context, ART is well placed to both weather market volatility and take advantage of any dislocation should it arise.

Foreign currency

The Company monitors foreign exchange exposures and considers hedging where appropriate. Foreign currency balances have been translated at the period end rates of £1:€1.128 or £1:INR86.973, as appropriate.

Strategy and outlook

ART's diversified portfolio continues to increase the weighting towards cashflow driven investments, particularly senior debt, whilst retaining scope for creating capital value growth. Following an active period of capital recycling, ART currently focusses on asset-backed lending, debt investments and high return property investments in Western Europe that are capable of delivering strong risk-adjusted cashflows.

Overview

ART is actively augmenting and diversifying its portfolio of secured loan investments which is expected to increase the Company's current earnings. This will however limit the Company's opportunity to benefit from potential capital gains from the capital deployed in these investments.

ART continues to remain focussed on creating a diversified portfolio of high return senior (first charge) loans and mezzanine (second charge) loans secured on real estate assets. ART seeks opportunities that it can fully underwrite with the support of the Investment Manager's asset-backed lending experience and knowledge of the underlying assets and sectors, or in partnership with specialist debt providers. Repayment proceeds from current lending is expected to be progressively recycled into new loans.

H2O shopping centre was opened in 2007 and built to a high standard providing shopping, restaurants and leisure around a central theme of landscaped gardens and an artificial lake. H2O has a gross lettable area of approximately 52,425 square metres comprising 123 retail units. In addition to a multiplex cinema, supermarket (let to leading Spanish supermarket operator Mercadona) and restaurants, it has a large fashion retailer base, including some of the strongest international fashion brands, such as Nike, Zara, Mango, Cortefiel, H&M, C&A and Massimo Dutti.

ART has a 30% stake in a joint venture with CBRE Global Investors. The continued equity interest allows ART to participate in the future growth of the centre. ARC, the investment manager of ART, continues to manage the shopping centre.

The joint venture has a €65.0 million bank loan which matures in 2024, secured on the shopping centre. The borrowings are secured on the underlying asset and are non-recourse to the Group's other investments.

The asset management highlights are as follows:

· Centre occupancy: 93% by area as at 30 September 2019 (97% by rental value, excluding potential new build leasable area). Weighted average lease length to next break of 2.2 years and 8.6 years to expiry (30 September 2019).

· Footfall: record visitor numbers to the shopping centre have been recorded in the 9 months to 30 September 2019, with footfall increasing 6.6% over the same period in 2018.

· Tenant sales performance: tenant sales continue to increase in the six months to 30 September 2019, with like-for-like sales increasing 8.2% over the same period in 2018.

· Building rights transfer: the H2O investment includes a small vacant site located in the same planning zone as H2O that was acquired during 2017. As previously announced, following a successful planning process which involved an amendment to the local zoning plan, 9,000 square metres of building rights have been transferred to the H2O plot which, subject to obtaining building licences, creates potential for the future expansion of the shopping centre.

· Pre-leasing of new leasable area: an active leasing programme has helped secured a pre-let to a leading Spanish pet supplies company for a 1,100 square metre retail park unit. The unit is located on part of the centre's surface car park area, as envisaged within a recently completed masterplan design for the shopping centre. Construction commenced in October 2019 and is due for completion in the first quarter of 2020.

ART has an investment of €7.9 million (£7.0 million) in an industrial facility leased to a leading international group.

The property is held freehold and occupies a site of 11.8 acres in Billbrook, a well-established and well-connected industrial area located approximately 8 kilometres south-east of Hamburg centre. Hamburg is one of the main industrial and logistics markets in Germany.

The property is leased to Veolia Umweltservice Nord GmbH, part of the Veolia group, an international industrial specialist in water, waste and energy management, with a 23-year unexpired lease term. Under the operating lease, the tenant is responsible for building maintenance and the rent has periodic inflation linked adjustments.

The Hamburg asset is funded by way of a €9.5 million (£8.4 million) non-recourse, fixed rate, bank debt facility which matures in 2028.

This investment offers the potential to benefit from a long term secure and predictable inflation-linked income stream which is forecast to generate stable high single digit income returns. In addition, the investment offers the potential for associated capital growth from an industrial location in a major German logistics and infrastructure hub.

The investment was revalued at €16.8 million (£14.9 million) as at 30 September 2019 (31 March 2019: €16.0 million (£13.8 million)), with the increase reflecting a rent review that completed during the period.

Independent review report

To Alpha Real Trust Limited

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed consolidated set of financial statements in the half year report for the six months ended 30 September 2019 which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated cash flow statement, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and related notes. We have read the other information contained in the half year financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

Directors' responsibilities

The half year report is the responsibility of and has been approved by the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the half year report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. The condensed consolidated set of financial statements included in this half year report have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed consolidated set of financial statements in the half year report based on our review.

Use of our report

Our report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting its responsibilities in respect of half year reporting in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. No person is entitled to rely on this report unless such a person is a person entitled to rely upon this report by virtue of and for the purpose of our terms of engagement or has been expressly authorised to do so by our prior written consent. Save as above, we do not accept responsibility for this report to any other person or for any other purpose and we hereby expressly disclaim any and all such liability.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated set of financial statements in the half year report for the six months to 30 September 2019 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2019

1. General information

The Company is a limited liability, closed-ended investment company incorporated in Guernsey. The Group comprises the Company and its subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in pounds Sterling as this is the currency in which the funds are raised and in which investors are seeking a return. The Company's functional currency is Sterling and the subsidiaries' currencies are Euro, Indian Rupees and Sterling. The presentation currency of the Group is Sterling. The period end exchange rate used is £1:INR86.973 (31 March 2019: £1:INR90.155) and the average rate for the period used is £1:INR88.086 (30 September 2018: £1:INR91.276). For Euro based transactions the period end exchange rate used is £1:€1.128 (31 March 2019: £1:€1.161) and the average rate for the period used is £1:€1.126 (30 September 2018: £1:€1.131).

The address of the registered office is given below. The nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are set out in the Chairman's Statement. The half year report was approved and authorised for issue on 28 November 2019 and signed by David Jeffreys on behalf of the Board.

2. Significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the half year report for the six months ended 30 September 2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. This half year report and condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual report and consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and are available at the Company's website (www.alpharealtrustlimited.com).

The accounting policies adopted and methods of computation followed in the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 and are expected to be applied to the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2020.

The Group has adopted IFRS 16 (Leases), which was due for accounting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019.

IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements of IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor will continue to classify its leases as finance leases or operating leases, and account for those two types of leases differently. The adoption of IFRS 16 has not had a material impact on the financial statements.

Alpha2 acquisition

In September 2019, the Company announced that it acquired 66.4% of the shares in Alpha2. The acquisition increased ART's ownership interest in Alpha2 to 100%. The Alpha2 portfolio consisted of two unleveraged industrial assets located in England and has a net asset value of £16.2 million as at 30 September 2019.

As from 18 September 2019, in accordance with IFRS 3 (Business combinations), the Group has therefore consolidated its 100% investment in Alpha2.

The shares in Alpha2 were purchased from Antler Investment Holdings Limited, a related party to the Company. The shares in Alpha2 were purchased at its adjusted net asset value of £10.6 million with its portfolio independently valued as at 31 August 2019. The purchase consideration for the increased Alpha2 shareholding was satisfied by the re-issue from treasury of 5,030,284 ordinary shares in ART at an issue price equivalent to ART's estimated adjusted net asset value of 211.4p per share (£10.6 million). Given the nature of the transaction and the underlying assets, the Company has accounted for the transaction as a property acquisition as opposed to a business combination. As a result, the shares issued as consideration for the acquisition have been recognised at the fair value of the assets received as opposed to the traded price on the day of issue.

Up to the 18 September 2019, the Group accounted for its 33.6% investment in Alpha2 as an associate by the equity method, in accordance with IFRS 11. As from 18 September 2019, income and expenses related to the Alpha2 investment have been recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

7. Taxation

	For the six months ended 30 September 2019 £'000	For the six months ended 30 September 2018 £'000
Current tax	23	30
Deferred tax	-	3
Tax expense	23	33

The Company is exempt from Guernsey taxation on income derived outside of Guernsey and bank interest earned in Guernsey. A fixed annual fee of £1,200 is payable to the States of Guernsey in respect of this exemption. No charge to Guernsey taxation arises on capital gains. The Group is liable to foreign tax arising on activities in the overseas subsidiaries. The Company has investments, subsidiaries and joint venture operations in Luxembourg, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Cyprus, Jersey and India.

The current tax charge is due in Cyprus, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

Unused tax losses in Luxembourg, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom can be carried forward indefinitely. Unused tax losses in the Netherlands can be carried forward for nine years. Unused tax losses in Cyprus can be carried forward for five years.

Due to the unpredictability of future taxable profits, the Directors believe it is not prudent to recognise a deferred tax asset for the Group's unused tax losses.

8. Dividends

Dividend reference period	Shares	Dividend	Paid	Date of payment
Dividend reference period	'000	per share	£
Quarter ended 31 December 2018	23,259	0.8p	186,069	26 April 2019
Quarter ended 31 March 2019	23,117	0.8p	184,933	19 July 2019
Quarter ended 30 June 2019	12,572	1.0p	125,717	18 October 2019
Total			496,719

The Company will pay a dividend of 1.0p per share for the quarter ended 30 September 2019 on 10 January 2020.

Dividends paid and payable after the balance sheet date have not been included as a liability in the half year report.

Scrip dividend alternative

In the circular published on 18 December 2018, the Company sought shareholders' approval to enable a scrip dividend alternative to be offered to ordinary shareholders whereby they could elect to receive additional ordinary shares in lieu of a cash dividend, at the absolute discretion of the Directors, from time to time. This was approved by shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting on 8 January 2019.

The number of ordinary shares that an ordinary shareholder will receive under the scrip dividend alternative will be the average of the closing middle market quotations of an ordinary share for five consecutive dealing days after the day on which the ordinary shares are first quoted "ex" the relevant dividend.

The Board elected to offer the scrip dividend alternative to shareholders for all quarterly dividends from the quarter ended 31 December 2018 onwards. These issued shares are ranked pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing issued ordinary shares: during the six month period ended 30 September 2019, the Company issued 419,832 ordinary shares.

9. Earnings per share

The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share is based on the following data:

	For the six months ended 30 September 2019	Year ended 31 March 2019	Year ended 31 March 2019	For the six months ended 30 September 2018	For the six months ended 30 September 2018

Weighted average number of shares ('000s)	61,219	63,905	3,907	63,564	4,931

The adjusted earnings are presented to provide what the Board believes is a more appropriate assessment of the operational income accruing to the Group's activities. Hence, the Group adjusts basic earnings for income and costs which are not of a recurrent nature or which may be more of a capital nature.

Investment property comprises an investment property located in Hamburg (Werner-Siemens-Straße), Germany.

The fair value of the Hamburg property of €16.8 million (£14.9 million) (31 March 2019: €16.0 million (£13.8 million)) has been arrived at on the basis of an independent valuation carried out at the balance sheet date by Cushman & Wakefield ('C&W').

C&W are independent valuers and are not connected to the Group.

The valuation basis used is fair value as defined by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Appraisal and Valuations Standards ("RICS"). The approved RICS definition of 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".

Foreign exchange movement is recognised in other comprehensive income.

The Group's investments in joint ventures and associates can be summarised as follows:

· Joint venture investment in the H2O shopping centre in Madrid, Spain: the Group holds a 30% equity investment in CBRE H2O Rivas Holding NV ('CBRE H2O'), a company based in the Netherlands, which in turn owns 100% of the Spanish entities that are owners of H2O. CBRE H2O is a Euro denominated company hence the Group translates its share of this investment at the relevant year end exchange rate with movements in the period translated at the average rate for the period. As at 30 September 2019, the carrying value of ART's investment in CBRE H2O was £19.5 million (€22.0 million) (31 March 2019: £19.4 million (€22.5 million)).

· Joint venture investment in the Phase 1000 of Cambourne Business Park, Cambridge, UK: the Group holds a 10% equity investment in the Scholar Property Holdings Limited ('SPHL') group, owner of the property. As at 30 September 2019, the carrying value of ART's investment in Scholar Property Holdings Limited was £1.7 million (31 March 2019: £1.7 million).

· Associate investment in a portfolio of investment properties in the UK industrial sector: until 18 September 2019, the Group held a 33.6% equity investment in Alpha2, owner of two industrial assets in the United Kingdom. On 18 September 2019, the Group acquired the remaining 66.4% of the Alpha2 shares from Antler Investment Holdings Limited, a related party to the Group. As from 18 September 2019, the Group has therefore consolidated its 100% investment in Alpha2.

Foreign exchange movement is recognised in other comprehensive income.

The fair value of the H2O property in Madrid (Spain) of €131.7 million (£116.8 million) (31 March 2019: €130.4 million (£116.0 million) has been arrived at on the basis of an independent valuation carried out at the balance sheet date by Aguirre Newman Valoraciones y Tasaciones S.A. ("Aguirre"), an independent valuer not connected to the Group.

The fair value of Phase 1000 of Cambourne Business Park, Cambridge (UK) is £30.5 million (31 March 2019: £30.5 million), which has been arrived at on the basis of a Directors' valuation.

Loans at fair value through profit or loss	4,305	3,711
Total current loans	31,897	21,100

As at 30 September 2019, the Group had granted a total of £47.5 million (31 March 2019: £35.1 million) of secured senior and secured mezzanine loans to third parties. These comprised thirty-eight loans to UK entities, which assisted with the purchase of property developments, predominantly residential, in the UK. These facilities typically range from a 6 to 36 month term and entitle the Group to a weighted average overall return on the investment of 15.1% for mezzanine loans and 11.8% for senior loans.

Post period end, a further two loans totalling £2.0 million were funded, additional drawdowns of £1.4m were made on existing loans and part payments for other loans were received amounting to £3.4 million.

All senior and mezzanine loans granted by the Group are secured asset backed real estate loans. Senior loans have a first charge security and mezzanine loans have a second charge security on the property developments.

Loans at fair value through profit or loss represents loans that failed the 'solely payment of principal and interest' criteria of IFRS 9 to be measured at amortised cost: this is due to a loan facility agreement's clause that links those loans to a return other than interest.

The Company has one class of ordinary shares. The Company has the right to reissue or cancel the remaining treasury shares at a later date.

During the period, the Company additionally purchased 62,124 shares in the market at the weighted average price per share of 155p (total cost of £0.1 million) and, in September 2019, ART re-issued from treasury 5,030,284 ordinary shares as consideration for Alpha2. The 5,030,284 ordinary shares were issued at an issue price equivalent to ART's estimated adjusted net asset value of 211.4p per share based upon the Company's net asset value as at 30 June 2019 with adjustments made for dividends paid and share buybacks completed, including the Company's tender offer, following this date. The total consideration was therefore £10.6 million and has been accounted for as a share based payment in accordance with IFRS 2.

As at 30 September 2019, the ordinary share capital of the Company was 61,165,783 (including 1,940,797 ordinary shares held in treasury) and the total voting rights in the Company is 59,224,986.

Scrip dividend alternative

The Board elected to offer the scrip dividend alternative to shareholders for all quarterly dividends from the quarter ended 31 December 2018 onwards. These issued shares are ranked pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing issued ordinary shares. During the six month period ended 30 September 2019, the Company issued 419,832 ordinary shares: on 26 April 2019, 216,698 were issued at the price of £1.611 and, on 19 July 2019, 203,134 were issued at the price of £1.731.

Post period end, the Company made no share buybacks. On 18 October 2019, as a result of the scrip dividend elections related to the dividend of the quarter ended 30 June 2019, the Company issued 231,625 ordinary shares at the price of £1.797. At the date of signing these financial statements the ordinary share capital of the Company is 61,397,408 (including 1,940,797 ordinary shares held in treasury) and the total voting rights in the Company is 59,456,611.

22. Events after the balance sheet date

Post period end, the sale of the penultimate asset in the Alpha2 portfolio completed realising proceeds of £5.2 million. The sale price was in line with the asset's 30 September 2019 valuation.

On 18 October 2019, as a result of the scrip dividend elections related to the dividend of the quarter ended 30 June 2019, the Company issued 231,625 ordinary shares at the price of £1.797 (note 21).

On 22 Friday 2019, the Group completed the acquisition of an investment property located in Liverpool, UK, for £0.6 million.

23. Related party transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions. ARC is the Investment Manager to the Company under the terms of the Management Agreement and is thus considered a related party of the Company.

The Investment Manager is entitled to receive a fee from the Company at an annual rate of 2% of the net assets of the Group, payable quarterly in arrears. The Investment Manager is also entitled to receive an annual performance fee calculated with reference to total shareholder return ("TSR"), whereby the fee is 20% of any excess over an annualised TSR of 15% subject to a rolling three year high water mark.

Prior to the 70% disposal of the H2O property, ARC had a management agreement directly with the H2O property company, Alpha Tiger Spain 1, SLU ('ATS1') under which it earned a fee of 0.9% per annum based upon the gross assets of ATS1. In order to avoid double counting of fees, ARC provided a rebate to the Company of a proportion of its fee equivalent to the value of the Group's net asset value attributable to the H2O investment. Subsequent to the sale of ATS1 to CBRE H2O Rivas Holding NV ('CBRE H2O'), ARC has been appointed as Asset Manager to ATS1 and Investment Manager to CBRE H2O. ARC has agreed to rebate to ART all of the fees charged by ARC directly to CBRE H2O and ATS1 that relate to the Company's 30% share in CBRE H2O.

The Company invests in Alpha2, where ARC is the Investment Manager. ARC rebates fees earned in relation to the Company's investment in Alpha2.

In September 2019, the Company announced that it acquired 66.4% of the shares in Alpha2. The acquisition increased ART's ownership interest in Alpha2 to 100% (note 2). The shares in Alpha2 were purchased from Antler Investment Holdings Limited, a related party to the Company.

The Company has invested in Europip, where ARPIA, a subsidiary of ARC, is the Investment Adviser. ARC rebates fees earned in relation to the Company's investment in Europip.

The Company has invested in Phase 1000, Cambourne Business Park, Cambridge, and ARC was appointed as Asset and Property Manager of the joint venture entity. ARC rebates to ART the relevant proportion of fees earned by ARC, which apply to the Company's investment.

Details of the Investment Manager's fees for the current period are disclosed on the face of the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the balance payable at 30 September 2019 is provided in note 19.

The Directors of the Company received total fees as follows:

Fair value measurement

The Group discloses fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

· Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)

· Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2)

· Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the financial asset or financial liability is categorised is determined on the basis of the lowest input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Financial instruments are classified in their entirety into one of the three levels.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate fair values:

Level 1

· As at 30 September 2019, the Group does not hold any investment which can be categorised as Level 1.

Level 2

· The fair value of the foreign exchange forward contract is determined by reference to the quarter end applicable forward market rate provided by the contractual counter party.

Level 3

· The fair value of the HLP investment is based upon the price provided by the issuer for the relevant share class owned: this is calculated by reference to the net asset value of the investment and principally driven by the fair value of HLP's underlying property investments. This net asset value is therefore mainly based on unobservable inputs and is deemed to be a level 3 financial asset. HLP's accounts are audited annually. HLP's underlying investment properties are fair valued as per RICS definition and the ART Board considers that any reasonable possible movement in the valuation of HLP's individual properties would not be material to the value of ART's investment.

· The fair value of the Europip investment is based upon the price provided by the issuer for the relevant share class owned: this is calculated by reference to the net asset value of the investment and principally driven by the fair value of Europip's underlying property investments. This net asset value is therefore mainly based on unobservable inputs and is deemed to be a level 3 financial asset. Europip's accounts are audited annually. As at 30 September 2019, Europip has sold its remaining property and has partly distributed the related proceeds to shareholders; Europip is currently preparing to distribute the final proceeds to shareholders.

Financial assets and liabilities held at fair value are valued on a recurring basis as indicated above. There have been no changes to the valuation methods applied from the Group's annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2019.

The Board determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the 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.

The following table shows an analysis of the fair values of financial instruments recognised in the balance sheet by level of the fair value hierarchy described above:

30 September 2019	Assets and liabilities measured at fair value
	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000
