Outlook
Jason Upton, Chief Executive Officer said:
"I am exceptionally proud of our employees and the substantial progress we have made. This is the first annual report released by the Group as a listed business and it gives a comprehensive view of the performance of the business and our strategy going forward. As we move into the new financial year, we have set out five strategic priorities that will drive how we build our business. The environment is challenging but the Group continues to mitigate against this through the agility, flexibility and innovation of its employees and through its relationships with other stakeholders."
Chief Executive's statement
We are pleased to report excellent progress with our strategy over the last 12 months despite the challenges caused by the global pandemic, lockdown restrictions and industry cost pressures. In adapting well to these challenges, the Group demonstrated our resilience and agility and this has provided us with a strong foundation which bodes well for the future. Importantly, we have continued to expand during this period, adding more developments and a number of exceptional colleagues as we seek to generate strong returns for our shareholders. The Group's headline results reflect our infancy as a business with our first development not due to finish until early 2022. The Group's financial position remains robust with a reported NAV per share of 8.4p, cash and cash equivalents of £0.7 million and £5.75 million of remaining facility with our major shareholder. With good progress being made with these projects, and other foundations we have put in place, we are poised for strong growth over the forthcoming period. We have also taken steps to build and secure our other core sources of income by adding further Development Management projects and by commencing the restructuring of our ancillary property management services as we leverage our team's expertise and experience. Our property management and lettings services are currently outsourced to One Heritage Complete, of which the Group owns 47%. This company has experienced difficulties over the period in connection with two of its subsidiaries (which provide refurbishment, design, fit-out and furnishing services) to the extent that both these subsidiaries have filed for voluntary liquidation. Following a strategic review by the Group, we have decided to bring these same services in-house and to terminate our relationship with One Heritage Complete in an orderly manner and impair our stake in the entity to zero. Otherwise, there is no financial impact to the Group. At the start of the period under review, I set out below a number of key strategic priorities for the Group which I touched on in our interim results earlier this year. These objectives and the progress against each are set out below.
I am delighted to report significant progress on our development projects, having announced earlier this year the execution of three building contracts and the raising of £5.5m of new development finance. This means that we have formally commenced the programme of works for our Bank Street Sheffield, Oscar House Manchester and Lincoln House Bolton developments to create 138 apartments. All are expected to complete construction and sale during the new financial year to June 2022. In the background, our team have continued to refine the design of our developments and have increased the number of apartments across our developments from 169 to 171. Improvements to design and additional units has have increased the aggregate GDV by £2.4 million. To date, we have successfully achieved planning permission for three of our development projects, namely Bank Street, Oscar House and Lincoln House. We are currently awaiting the outcome of a modified planning application for Bank Street, where we are seeking to add one further apartment and additional design changes for greater efficiency. Planning applications have also been submitted for St Petersgate, Stockport and Churchgate, Leicester. We expect these applications to be determined later this calendar year. The most significant challenge we are facing currently, itself an industry-wide challenge and well documented in the media, is the mounting cost pressure in respect of building materials. This has been caused by the production of these materials being severely affected by economic lockdowns around the world in response to the global pandemic. As economies have opened up, production has struggled to keep up with a surge in demand. From our perspective, this has been offset to some extent, by the continued up-tick in property prices and the fact that our three development projects that have already commenced have fixed price contracts, with the remaining two being tendered on a fixed price basis before any works are commenced. Below is a current summary of our existing development projects:
In addition to the Group-owned developments listed above, we have also made good progress with the developments where we are acting as Development Manager. At present we are managing three projects; a 55 storey tower in Manchester (at RIBA stage 4 design); a conversion of a former Court House in Oldham being forward funded by a housing association to create 42 affordable homes, and a development in Queen Street Sheffield to create 58 apartments.
In conjunction with the start on site at three developments, we have also commenced our sales programme. Although none of the developments is scheduled for completion until the first quarter of 2022, we are seeing very strong pre-sale interest and we are pleased to have secured 63 property reservations as at 30 September 2021 which equates to 48.8% of apartments available for sale and totals £11.3 million in terms of GDV . As reported at the time of our interim results, we only commence marketing developments once we have finalised design, entered into build contracts and commenced work, thereby reducing the risk of changes impacting sold apartments and also providing us some flexibility to revise designs if needed. This approach is a pivotal element of our marketing strategy where reputation and credibility are paramount, particularly for international purchasers. The success of this approach has been demonstrated by the strength of initial pre-sales, and gives us confidence that we will achieve our sales targets as developments near completion. We have also seen further growth in our overseas sales and marketing network and have partnered with new agents to broaden our scope, militate against any future oversupply and allow us to reach new markets. The wider One Heritage business in Hong Kong (our major shareholder) which operates from nine offices in Hong Kong, mainland China and Singapore continues to oversee the majority of our sales including into new markets such as the Middle East. This, together with building a good track record and adopting strong governance and controls consistent with those expected of a UK PLC, we believe provides us with a significant competitive advantage in capitalising on continued strong overseas demand for UK residential property.
As mentioned previously, the incumbent provider of our property management and lettings services, One Heritage Complete, in which the Group owns a 47% stake, has encountered difficulties in two of its five subsidiaries, namely One Heritage Maintenance and One Heritage Design. Post year end, we have undertaken a strategic review of the services offered by One Heritage Complete and have decided to bring these services in-house in the interests of quality control and financial oversight. The refurbishment of Co-Living properties on behalf of investors had been mostly provided by One Heritage Maintenance, with the design and furnishing by One Heritage Design. Both these companies became insolvent in September and are being liquidated. The services provided by these companies will now be offered through our network of contractors, managed in-house. Similarly, changes to lettings have been made which have moved the operational function to our Manchester head office, incorporating a new CRM system and new processes which allow us to better communicate with our investors and landlords. We will continue to utilise locally based agents, who understand their market best, to provide an effective let-only function. This separation of responsibilities will allow us to provide a first-class service to both landlords and tenants, with our Manchester office focusing on landlords and our local letting agents focusing on tenants.
Following the announcement in our interim results of the key appointments of Mr Luke Piggin as Finance Director and Mr Martin Crews as Development Director, we have been able to further strengthen our platform to grow the business. We have added four colleagues to our development team, two to our finance team and a further seven to back office support functions. As part of the restructure of our property services with the Group centralising operations, Mrs Alie Horton has been appointed post financial year end as Property Operations Director. The role is to oversee further changes to our property management services provision and to deliver a first class service in respect of the increasing number of properties under management. Mrs Alie Horton joins the Group after 16 years at CBRE and brings our headcount in our Manchester head office to nineteen. To enable us to maintain the high quality of service through this period of expansion, we will be adding additional resource. This will allow us to increase the range and quality of our services as we seek to provide a market leading service and thus generate more income for the Group.
Over the last six months, we have continued to execute our strategy to grow our development pipeline by acquiring Plus House, Stockport and Bank Street, Sheffield. Both sites were acquired with the benefit of planning permission thereby de-risking the schemes and allowing us to progress to site in a timely manner. We expect to continue to build our pipeline of new developments over the next six months to allow us to redeploy capital from completed developments next year. The North West of England has been our core focus over the past twelve months and we continue to see value there and no let-up in demand from the investor market. Nevertheless, we are also looking to expand further south into the Midlands to build on our existing presence in Leicester (Churchgate). Industry Overview UK property prices have risen by 13.2% in the year to 30 June 2021, according to Land Registry data. This has been driven by a combination of additional support from the Government, including stamp duty holidays, extensions of existing housing schemes and furlough scheme, along with excess savings that have been generated by households as usual avenues for spending were interrupted. These factors may be expected to prove temporary which may lead to a slowdown in price growth over the next twelve months. It should also be noted that there have been significant differences in performance across housing types and regions. However, all movements have been positive. Data suggests that there has indeed been higher demand for properties offering greater space compared to flats/maisonettes, with the latter seeing only a 7.1% increase in prices relative to the UK average of 13.1%. Breaking down the regional data suggests that flats/maisonettes have seen the slowest price growth in all regions, with London (1.8%) seeing the weakest performance and the North West (17.0%) witnessing the highest. Of particular note is the significant divergence in performance property prices between the North West with an increase of 18.8% and London with just 5.2%. This supports evidence that London has become an exporter of people during the pandemic, with some estimates suggesting that 8% of the population has departed. The under-performance in house prices in London may also suggest that the change is more permanent, as it is unlikely that households would up-sticks to a region on a temporary basis. The next twelve months will provide further pointers as to whether this is a permanent trend or not, as companies begin to bring employees back into offices. The North West has also benefited from the lower price to income ratio compared to the South East and London. On the cost side, the picture is less positive with a combination of cost increases in building materials and labour shortages creating issues across the industry. We have noted that price inflation for key materials appears to be slowing towards the end of our financial year, with raw material inputs dropping significantly from their highs in 2020. However, we do not expect to see any significant decline in overall material costs, as prices appear resistant to downward pressure. Labour costs will be expected to continue to rise as shortages experienced will not be quickly rectified, given the time it takes time to train new staff. We have noted that labour shortages and wage rises have been greater in regions that had a higher reliance on continental European labour and as such do not expect to see as much pressure in the North West, versus for instance, in the South. People and Culture Our progress over the last twelve months has been made possible by our people. One Heritage Group PLC is an employer that invests in our people and we continue to look at ways in which to improve employee engagement. An example of a successful initiative is the new Social and Charity committee which is run by our employees. This has seen us partner with a local charity, LifeShare, who are focussed on homelessness and poverty in Manchester. LifeShare have been tackling homelessness for over 35 years and make an admirable contribution towards alleviating it in the region. We have recently pledged a £1,000 donation towards their Christmas initiatives, our staff have given additional support with significant donations of clothing and food, and we will be participating in an upcoming charity football event. Other fund raising has taken place in support of Bowel Cancer UK, Mind and Motor Neurone Disease Association. To further support these initiatives, we have provided our employees with the option to volunteer for up to two days per year which has been well received and allows us to give something back to the community. While flexible working during the pandemic had its benefits, I am of the view that it can have a detrimental effect on those employees who are in the early stages of their careers where learning and development is essential. As such, we welcome having our staff back in the office again. We continue to support our workforce with our senior management team running regular training sessions and we are also encouraging the attainment of professional qualifications. We are committed to continuous professional development as we mentor and develop our exceptional talent, as well as creating an environment and culture in which they can succeed. Covid-19 impact and response Our team have remained agile and have adapted well to the challenges the pandemic has presented us with over the last twelve months. We took the decision during national lockdowns to close our office and implement full remote working to protect the safety of our workforce and suppliers. With the roll out of the vaccination programme and restrictions easing, all staff are now back working safely from our Manchester office. With additional resource added to the Group and staff returning to office working we have moved into a larger office space which also allows for future expansion. We are fortunate that our own operations have been largely unaffected during the pandemic. However, we have experienced challenges with some partners and stakeholders having to make major adjustments in order to adapt to a new working environment. Overall, we have found that the majority of businesses have been proactive and resourceful in the circumstances, and I am looking forward to the market returning to full capacity and pre pandemic levels of engagement and service over the coming months as more staff return back to the office and face-to-face meetings recommence. ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE EVALUATION (ESG) Although only nine months into life as a Public Listed Company, we are placing a significant emphasis on conducting our business activities ethically and responsibly. I have been pleased with the progress the Group has made as our full ESG strategy evolves .
Environmental We are undertaking a review of our developments to identify ways to make them greener and more environmentally friendly and reduce our carbon footprint. Certain initiatives have been identified to switch to greener materials which include a brown roof in our Queen Street, Sheffield development
Social We are committed to supporting local communities and giving back to society, especially in regions where our developments are located. In addition to the charitable work outlined earlier, further steps have been taken to engage with local employers and schools to identify ways we can work closely together. We will be inviting local primary schools to help with planting around our buildings and we will be collaborating with colleges and their students studying construction. We have implemented a new staff policy where staff are able to take an additional two days leave to be dedicated to charitable means. We have also introduced initiatives to enhance the well-being of our employees which includes monthly social events, charitable activities and an extension to our remuneration package which includes a new employee assistance programme, which provides a range of support tools for employees wellbeing. Governance We adhere to the QCA code. More details can be found on page 14.
Outlook While property sales have remained strong and the industry has performed well over the period, I am expecting a more normalised level of market activity to return towards the end of 2021 and early 2022. As mentioned above, we are currently seeing building material price increases in the market. We will continue to work closely with our construction partners in order to manage price risk and minimise the impact on the viability of our developments. Our sales programme has largely remained unaffected during the pandemic because our target purchasers are not owner occupiers and are not dependant on the mortgage market and government initiates such as Help to Buy. As the majority of our purchasers are based overseas, they are also not reliant on 'in person' viewings either. We continue to see strong demand for affordable housing from registered housing providers and in August we signed an agreement to deliver 42 apartments in Oldham for Arcon Housing, a subsidiary of Bolton at Home with the support of Homes England. The Group remains well placed to establish longer term relationships with registered providers such as these to help deliver the higher volume of affordable housing that they are seeking. The private rental sector (PRS) market continues to experience strong demand from overseas investors for housing across the North of England in particular. We will continue to expand the level of service we provide to third party investors and build on the four development management agreements we have in place, which includes the addition of a 58 apartment development in Sheffield on behalf of overseas investors. We remain positive on the outlook for the property market. The Government's commitment to 'levelling up' is welcomed and with the continuing undersupply of quality housing in the North West of England, the region will continue to be an attractive area for investment. The strong demand from overseas investors in particular, despite the pandemic and travel restrictions, gives us optimism about the prospects for our business as the economy recovers. Our core strategic objectives will remain in place over the forthcoming period as the Group focuses on the successful delivery of our projects, the sale of completed units, enhancing the infrastructure needed to build our pipeline and recruiting exceptional talent.
Chairman's statement
I was delighted to be appointed as Non-Executive Chairman to One Heritage Group PLC in December 2020 following our successful listing on the Standard List of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. In the short time I have been with the Company, I have been pleased to see the way in which the executive management team, with clear focus and determination, has begun to implement our strategy for sustainable growth. In this period I have seen the Group complete on the acquisition of new development projects, sign additional development management agreements and also manage a rapid restructuring of our property management and lettings provision following difficulties encountered by the current service provider.
Dividend and dividend policy The Group did not generate a profit in the financial year and is therefore not proposing a dividend. This is in line with the dividend policy set out in the prospectus. The Group expects to pay a dividend in the future when it is generating recurring and growing profits.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE EVALUATION (ESG) The Board of Directors takes our ESG responsibilities very seriously. I am pleased that since joining the business I have been part of a working group that has been proactive in finding ways to promote social causes, for example through the employee led Social and Charity Committee. Reducing our environmental impact as a property development business is a particularly challenging area given the outsized contribution to carbon emissions from building materials, but even with this I have noted that the Group is constantly looking at greener design and material options, local procurement and working with local communities, such as schools, to improve the local environment. The Board see this as a priority for the business. Whilst the business is only at the beginning of its journey, there is a clear focus on creating a strong governance structure. We recognise that shareholder and other stakeholder outcomes are improved by ensuring that good governance is in place. More details on the steps in this regard taken by the Group can be found in the sections of this annual report which relate to the QCA Corporate Governance Code (page 14) and The Role of the Board (page 19). The Board believe that diversity is important to the success of the Group in the future and was pleased to see Mrs Alie Horton join as the Property Operations Director in the new financial year. We are focused on ensuring that there are equal opportunities and committed to increasing diversity.
People Finally, I would like to thank our shareholders and other stakeholders for their support during the first part of the Group's journey. Most of all, I want to thank our directors and employees throughout the business, who continue to grow with every opportunity and challenge that they face. I am particularly impressed by the corporate culture which is fast emerging, the creativity and the resilience that everyone demonstrates, even in just a short time.

Group's Financial Review
The maidan annual report for the financial period ended 30 June 2021 saw the NAV per share of 8.4p compared to a listing price of 10p on 23 December 2020. This was a consequence of the Group continuing spend on scaling the business and the developments not expecting to complete until the next financial year. During the reporting period the Group recognised a loss of £0.8 million, which reflects the salaries, professional fees and other corporate expenses incurred in the period and the impairment of £0.2 million that was recognised in relation to our investment in associate. These were offset to some extent by the performance of the Co-living side of the business, which generated a gross profit of £314,000.
Restructuring and capital raises In advance of the Group listing on the London Stock Exchange, a restructuring was undertaken. This involved transferring out two subsidiaries, One Heritage Tower Limited and Harley Street Developments Limited for a gain of £26,423, a debt for equity swap which saw One Heritage Property Development Limited in Hong Kong convert £2.75 million of debt into 20.7 million shares and then the acquisition of One Heritage Property Development (UK) Limited, known as the Trading Group, by One Heritage Group plc. The Company was pleased to list on 23 December 2020 where investors acquired 9,300,000 shares at 10p per share. This was followed up with a placing and subscription on 11 February 2021 where the Company sold an additional 1,828,333 shares at 30p each, which demonstrated investors believe in the strategy of the Group.
Acquisitions of new properties AND SIGNING OF A DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT Following the listing of the Group we have been pleased to complete on two acquisitions, with Bank Street Sheffield acquired for £800,000 and Plus House in Stockport acquired for £725,000. On top of these acquisitions the Group has spent a further £1.7 million, including capitalised finance costs, on the developments since the end of the calendar year with the aim to complete the majority of our existing developments by the end of the next financial year. The Company was also pleased to sign a development management agreement with One Heritage North Church Limited, to redevelop an existing office into 58 self-contained apartments. This contributed £15,000 of revenue in the financial period, as the agreement was signed just before the period end.
Financing The Group is fortunate to have a supportive majority shareholder, One Heritage Property Development Limited, which increased the shareholder facility by £2.5 million to £7.5 million, on the same terms as the existing facility with an early repayment date on 31 December 2022 for the extended amount. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had drawdown £1.3 million of the facility. This facility has been provided to ensure that we are able to continue with developments if other financing is not available. Two construction finance agreements were signed in May and June 2021. These agreements cover the construction finance costs of the developments in One Heritage Bank Street Limited and One Heritage Oscar House Limited, and allow the Group to drawdown a gross amount of £5.5 million for a period of 18 months. The Group's policy is to capitalise finance costs from external loan facilities against the underlying developments and during the financial period to 30 June 2021, £0.3 million was capitalised. The remaining finance costs recognised on the income statement relate to amounts that were not capitalised and the finance lease on the office.
Scaling the business The loss per share of 3.1p was primarily driven by administration costs in the business. Salary costs contributing 68.2% of the total as the Group increased the number of staff to 20 at the end of the financial period. The Group also moved into a larger office space in the same building at the end of the period and the Group recognised a right of use asset of £288,463, which will be depreciated over the five year lease term. Other key costs recognised relate to professional and corporate expenses, some of which relate to being a public listed company versus previously operating as a private company.
ONE HERITAGE COMPLETE The Group has a 47% share in One Heritage Complete Limited, which has five subsidiaries with various stakes between 51% and 93%. These entities have their own management team and finance function. After the end of the financial year, information came to light that One Heritage Maintenance Limited had become insolvent due to a combination of structurally high costs, onerous contracts it had signed and liabilities in excess of its assets and as such has been placed in liquidation. At the same time, the management of One Heritage Maintenance had received loans from other subsidiaries. As a result of this action, another entity One Heritage Design Limited also became insolvent and was put into liquidation. Given this situation, the Group took the decision to impair the stake in One Heritage Complete Limited to zero, as there was significant uncertainty on the ability of the Group to realise value from this entity in the future.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2021
One Heritage Group PLC (the "Company")(Company number: 12757649) is a public limited company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. The address of its registered office and its principal place of trading is 80 Mosley Street, Manchester, M2 3FX. The principal activity of the company is that of property development. These consolidated financial statements ("Financial Statements") as at the end of the financial year to 30 June 2021 comprise of the Company and its subsidiaries. A full list of companies consolidated in these Financial Statements can be found in Note 28.
A group restructuring exercise was carried out during the year as follows:
The acquisition by the Company of the Trading Group is a common control transaction under IFRS 3. The consolidation of this Group has been prepared using the merger method. In the statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities are recognised at their book values at the acquisition date. The results of merged operations following the Group's restructure in the period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as if the Group has always existed. Comparative figures are provided on the basis that the merged group always existed. One Heritage Property Development (UK) Limited was incorporated on 19 May 2019 and the comparative period is from incorporation of this entity to 30 June 2020.
The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at their fair value: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
This is the first reporting period, as the Company was incorporated on 21 July 2020. The Group's financial statements are prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The Company has elected to prepare its parent company financial statements in accordance with FRS 101. These are presented on pages 77 to 83. In addition, the Group financial statements are required under the UK Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union. The significant accounting policies are set out in note 6. The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these group Financial Statements. They were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Director on 39. The Group's management review the business as a whole, while it remains in its early stage of development. The Group considers there is one operating segment, property, therefore does not provide segmentation. Going concern Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £2,683,752 (excluding inventory balances totalling £7,226,495) as at 31 August 2021, a loss for the year then ended of £808,977 and operating cash outflows for the year of £6,117,673, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period to 31 December 2022 which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, through the proceeds from sale of developments and trading properties, repayment of loan to Robin Hood Property Development Limited, extension of loans from One Heritage SPC and a planned fund raise from the issue of a corporate bond, supplemented by a loan facility from its parent company, One Heritage Property Development Limited, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The loan facility from the parent company is £7.5 million, of which £3.6 million remains undrawn as at 27 September 2021. This facility will be required to be utilised until the company becomes self-funding from the other sources of funds detailed above. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
The board has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts in the financial statements. The directors continually evaluate these judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses based upon historical experience and on other factors that they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions. The key areas of judgement and estimation are:
Measurement of fair values A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The Finance Director has overall responsibilities for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the Board. The Finance Director regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker prices or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the Finance Director assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of the Standards, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group's audit committee. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirely in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Group recognises transfer between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Business Combinations (not resulting from common control transaction) The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the case where the group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The acquisition by the Company of the Trading Group is a common control transaction under IFRS 3. The consolidation of this Group has been prepared using the merger method. In the statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities are recognised at their book values at the acquisition date. The results of merged operations following the Group's restructure in the period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as if the Group has always existed. Comparative figures are provided on the basis that the merged group always existed. Revenue Revenue is recognised when the performance obligation associated with the sale is completed or as the performance obligation is completed over time where appropriate. The transaction price comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of value added tax, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue and profit are recognised as follows (note 8):
Revenue is recognised in profit or loss when control is transferred to the customer. This is deemed to be when title of the property passes to the customer on legal completion and the performance obligation associated with the sale is completed.
Management fees are recognised as revenue in the period to which they relate when performance obligations are fulfilled based on agreed transaction prices. Variable performance fees are estimated based on the expected value and are only recognised over time as performance obligations are fulfilled when progress can be measured reliably and to the extent that a significant reversal of revenue in a subsequent period is unlikely.
The Group generates rental income from Trading Properties. This has been recognised as other income rather than revenue as it is not expected to be a reoccurring source of income and is not a main trading activity of the Group. Cost of sales The Group determines the value of inventory charged to cost of sales based on the total budgeted cost of developing a site. Once the total expected costs of development are established, they are allocated to individual plots to achieve a standard build cost per plot. To the extent that additional costs or savings are identified as the site progresses, these are recognised over the remaining plots unless they are specific to a particular plot, in which case they are recognised in profit or loss at the point of sale. Operating profit/(loss) Operating profit/(loss) is the Group's total earnings from its core business functions for a given period, excluding the deduction of interest and taxes and the gain/(loss) on sale of subsidiaries and associates. Financial guarantees A financial guarantee contract is initially recognised at fair value. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, financial guarantees are measured at the higher of:
The amount of the loss allowance at each subsequent reporting period equals the 12-month expected credit losses. However, where there has been a significant increase in the risk that the specified debtor will default on the contract, the calculation is for lifetime expected credit losses. Finance income Interest income on bank deposits is recognised on an accruals basis. Also included in interest receivable are interest and interest-related payments the Group receives on other receivables and external loans. Finance costs Borrowing costs are recognised on an accruals basis and are payable on the Group's borrowings and lease liabilities. Also included are the amortisation of fees associated with the arrangement of the financing. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption, and direct issue costs, are accounted for on an accruals basis in profit or loss using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise. Specific or general borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for sale. The group considers that its inventories are qualifying assets. Foreign currencies These consolidated financial statements are presented in Pound sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentational currency. The individual financial statements of each Group company are presented in Pound Sterling, the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (its functional currency). Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the statement of financial statement date. Leases The Group as a lessee The Group assesses at inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A lease exists if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group assessment includes whether:
At the commencement of a lease, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset along with a corresponding lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate. The lease term comprises the non-cancellable period of the contract, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease where the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option based on operational needs and contractual terms. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and reducing it by the lease payments made. The lease liability is remeasured when the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or termination option. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, comprising the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, estimated asset retirement obligations, lease incentives received and initial direct costs. Subsequently, right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, and are adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the length of the lease. Right-of-use assets are presented within non-current assets on the face of the statement of financial position, and lease liabilities are shown separately on the statement of financial position date in current liabilities and non-current liabilities depending on the length of the lease term. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The gain or loss on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset as is recognised in the profit and loss. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life: Fixtures and fittings 15% on cost Office equipment 15% on cost Motor vehicles 25% on cost Impairment of tangible and intangible assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the profit and loss. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, due to a change in circumstances or in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so long as it does not exceed the original carrying value prior to the impairment being recognised. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial instruments Financial assets Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently classified into one of the following measurement categories:
The classification of financial assets depends on the Group's business model for managing the asset and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Assets that are held for the collection of contractual cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost, with any interest income recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method. Financial assets that do not meet the criteria to be measured at amortised cost are classified by the Group as measured at FVTPL. Fair value gains and losses on financial assets measured at FVTPL are recognised in profit or loss and presented within net operating expenses. The Group currently has no financial assets measured at FVOCI. Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost, less any loss allowance. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash held by the Group and short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from inception and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Impairment of financial assets The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently classified into one of the following measurement categories:
Non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at FVTPL when they are considered held for trading or designated as such on initial recognition. The Group has no non-derivative financial liabilities measured at FVTPL. Borrowings Borrowings are allocated to either specific or general borrowings and initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Specific or general borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for sale. These are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Debt for equity conversion Debt/equity conversions are accounted for at the carrying value of the debt, if between company/group and a controlling shareholder. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are measured at amortised cost. When the acquisition of land has deferred payment terms a land creditor is recognised. Payables are discounted to present value when repayment is due more than one year after initial recognition or the impact is material. Customer deposits Customer deposits are recorded as deferred income on receipt and released to profit or loss as revenue upon legal completion. Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded as the proceeds are received, net of direct issue costs. Inventory - developments Inventories are initially stated at cost and held at the lower of this initial amount and net realisable value. Costs comprise direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price based on intended use less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. Land is recognised in inventory when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the Group. Non-refundable land option payments are initially recognised in inventory. They are reviewed regularly and written off to profit or loss when it is probable that the option will not be exercised. Inventory - trading properties Trading property comprises those properties that in the Directors' view are not held for long-term rental income or capital appreciation and are expected to be disposed of within one year of the reporting date or to be refurbished with the intention to sell. Trading property is carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price based on intended use in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling costs. The amount of any write down of trading property to net realisable value is recognised as an expense in the period the write down occurs. Should a valuation uplift occur in a subsequent period, the amount of any reversal shall be recognised as a reduction in the previous write down in the period in which the uplift occurs. This may not exceed the property's cost. The sale of trading property is recognised as revenue when the buyer obtains control of the property. Total costs incurred in respect of trading property are recognised simultaneously as a cost of sale. Taxation The tax charge represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported in the profit and loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are also recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the profit and loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income or equity. Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Any incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
On 12 October 2020 (effective 31 August 2020), the Group sold the entire equity in One Heritage Tower Limited and Harley Street Developments Limited as part of the restructuring in advance of listing. Following the disposal, the Group signed a development management agreement with One Heritage Tower Limited and advanced a profit participation loan to Harley Street Developments Limited. Results of disposed entities
Assets and liabilities of disposed of entities
The Group generates its revenue primarily from development management agreements and co-living profit participation payments. Other sources of revenue include rental income from Trading Properties.
The Group has three development management agreements with One Heritage Tower Limited, ACT Property Holding Limited and One Heritage North Church Limited. The Group earns a management fee of 0.75% (£101,467) of costs incurred to date per month and a 10% share of net profit generated by the development through the agreement with One Heritage Tower Limited. The Group is also entitled to 1% of any external debt or equity funding raised on behalf of the development. The ACT Property Holding Limited agreement has a 20% profit share of the net profit generated by the development. The One Heritage North Church Limited agreement splits the fees into three: 1. 2% of total development cost (£7,732) , paid monthly over the period of the development; 15% of net profit, paid on completion; 1% on any debt finance raised. During the year the Group earned a 1.0% fee (£15,000) in relation to the signing of the One Heritage North Church Limited Investment Agreement, agreed by the parties. The Group has not recognised any revenue linked to the profit share element of these agreement as the transaction price is variable and the amount cannot be reliably determined at this time. The Group has 3 profit participation agreements that entitle the Group to a 15% share of profits on completed Co-living housing sales. Revenue is recognised when a sale is complete. In the period the Group generated revenue of £340,168 (30 June 2020: nil) from these agreements with Robin Hood Property Development Limited (£276,593, 30 June 2020: nil), Mosley Limited (£57,682, 30 June 2020: nil) and Harley Street Property Developments Limited (£5,893, 30 June 2020: nil). In the prior period the Group sold a Trading Property, which represented all of the Co-living revenues in that period and corresponding cost of sale recognised. No Trading Property's were sold in the financial year. The development management and Co-living revenues in the current year have been generated through related parties. Further details can be found in note 25. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control over a good or service to a customer. The following table provides information about the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers, including significant payment terms, and related revenue recognition policies.
The Group has generated a loss in the year and the period before, and therefore has not recognised any taxation charge or credit. Tax losses carried forward Tax losses for which no deferred tax asset was recognised expire as follows:
The carried forward losses do not expire as they relate to trading activity that is expected to continue. Reconciliation of effective tax rate
As at 30 June 2021
As at 30 June 2020
On 11 June 2021 the Group leased additional office space at its registered office. It recognised a right-of-use of £288,463 (2020: 154,149) in relation to this. Right of use asset
Break options The lease for the office has an option to break the lease after 5 years. The right-of-use asset has been calculated on the assumption that the break clause is taken up.
As at 30 June 2021 there was a charge on the inventory held within One Heritage Lincoln House Limited. The value of this was £1,650,031 (30 June 2020: £14,677,347) and was pledged as security for bank loan. The Group has a non-refundable right to purchase land at Churchgate, Leicester, which will result in the Group paying an additional £120,000 on the successful approval of planning on the property. The Group has recognised £131,235 (30 June 2020: £52,280) in inventory in relation to this in the period.
As at 30 June 2021 £27,368 (30 June 2020: £19,121) of interest was capitalised.
On 17 March 2019, the Group invested £258,512 to acquire a 47.0% stake in One Heritage Complete Limited. One Heritage Complete provides letting and facilities and property management for investors in Co-living properties. Post year end a subsidiary of One Heritage Complete Limited, namely One Heritage Maintenance Limited was put into liquidation and the investment in associate has been written down to nil. Reconciliation of investment in associate
The Group has not disclosed financial information for the associate due to the lack of reliable financial information. Due to the uncertainty around the profitability of One Heritage Maintenance Limited, the Group has taken a provision against the dividends received from this entity in the year totalling £24,368.
The Group has loans outstanding to related parties outside of the Group to Robin Hood Property Development Limited for £397,796 (30 June 2020: £517,277) and repaid loans to Harley Street Developments Limited (30 June 2020: £379,727). The loan agreements entitle the Group to 15% of the net profits on each Co-living property sale. These have been classified as assets at FVTPL and are level 3 in fair value hierarchy. The loans can be repaid at any time by the borrower. These financial assets are considered due from related parties, further details can be found in note 25.
Loan facility fees of £178,743 were paid to cover the negotiation and arrangement of facilities which will be offset against the respective loans when drawn. Such fees are deferred if it is probable that a facility will be drawn down. The amounts due from One Heritage Tower Limited of £19,335 is both interest free and repayable on demand. The Company has an outstanding loan of £1,000 (30 June 2020: £1,000) to the directors. No interest is charged on these amounts and are repayable on demand. Trade receivables includes £121,760 due from One Heritage Tower Limited and £27,278 due from One Heritage North Church Limited, in relation to development management services (see Note 8). These financial assets are considered due from related parties, further details can be found in note 25. Management consider that the credit quality of the various receivables is good in respect of the amounts outstanding, there have been no increases in credit risk and therefore credit risk is considered to be low. Therefore, no expected credit loss provision has been recognised.
The Group defines capital as the Group's shareholder equity and borrowings. The Group's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain, investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of external debt in the business. The Group monitors capital using a ratio of 'net debt' to shareholder equity. Net debt is calculated as total liabilities (as shown in the statement of financial position) less cash and cash equivalents. The Group's policy is to keep the ratio below 3.0. The Group's net debt to equity at 2.0 was as follows:
On 28 February 2020 a subsidiary, Lincoln House Property Development Limited, drew down on a £770,000 12-month loan with Wright (Holdings) Pension Scheme. The loan has a fixed rate of interest of 0.95% interest per calendar month and the full amount is repayable on expiry. A legal mortgage has been taken out by the borrower over the land and there is a guarantee from the Company. On 05 March 2021 this was extended for a further 12 months. On 20 May 2021 a subsidiary, One Heritage Oscar House Limited, signed a loan agreement with Lyell Trading Limited. This was for a gross amount of construction finance totalling £3,514,557. This had a term of 18 months and is to be drawn down to fund costs incurred by the development in that subsidiary. As at 30 June 2021, the balance of the loan was £139,360. The Group incurs an interest cost on drawdown funds of 9.6% per annum. On signing of the agreement the Group paid an arrangement fee of £80,701 and will pay an exit fee of £40,351 on final repayment. The Company has provided a financial guarantee of £1,008,764 over the loan. The loan has two covenants that are linked to the underlying development, the loan to development cost of 71.0% and a loan to value of 65.0%, which have both been complied with during the reporting period. On 18 June 2021 a subsidiary, One Heritage Bank Street Limited, signed a loan agreement with Together Commercial Finance Limited. This was for a gross amount of construction finance totalling £1,985,000. This had a term of 18 months and is to be drawdown down to fund costs incurred by the development in that subsidiary. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had drawn down £50,050 of the loan. The Group incurs an interest cost on drawdown funds of 10.7% per annum. On signing of the agreement the Group paid an arrangement fee of £9,850 and will pay an exit fee of £17,084 on final repayment. The loan has two covenants that are linked to the underlying development, the loan to development cost of 70.0% and a loan to value of 70.0%, which have both been complied with during the reporting period. Related party borrowings During the year the Group repaid loans from One Heritage Tower Limited amounting to £653,972 and Mosley Property Limited of £260,616. The Group owes ACT Property Developments Limited amounting to £92,285 (30 June 2021: £229,487). The loans are interest free and are repayable on demand. On 22 July 2020 and 11 August 2020 the Trading Group received loans worth £1,135,000 and £1,007,000 respectively from One Heritage SPC. As at 30 June 2021, £127,992 and £106,935 respectively of interest had been accrued against the loans. Each has a term of 18 months with an annual interest rate of 12 per cent. The Group has signed a £5.0 million loan facility with One Heritage Property Development Limited on 21 September 2020. This can be drawn down as required and is to be repaid on 31 December 2024. The facility has an interest rate of 7.0%. On 18 February 2021 the facility was increased by £2.5 million to £7.5 million, with the additional amount having a repayment date of 31 December 2022. As at 30 June 2021 the Group had drawdown £1,748,852 of the facility. Terms and repayment schedule The terms and conditions of outstanding loans are as follows:
1This loan was disposed of when the Group sold the entire equity in One Heritage Tower Limited, see note 7. Reconciliation of movements of liabilities to cash flows from financing activities
Trade payables and accruals relate to amounts payable at the reporting date for services received during the period. During the year the Group made a provision against the dividends received from an associate (note 16). The company has financial risk management policies in place to ensure that all payables are paid within the credit timeframe. Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, have been eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in this note.
Accounting classifications and fair values The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. As at 30 June 2021
As at 30 June 2020 (unaudited)
Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values for financial instruments in the statement of financial position, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used. Financial instruments measured at fair value. The valuation is equivalent to cost as it can be repaid at any time by the borrower and therefore no sensitivity is provided. Financial risk management The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
Risk management framework The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Groups risk management framework. The Board of Directors has established the risk management committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Groups risk management policies. The committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities. The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limited. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. The Group audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss where counterparties are not able to meet their obligations. Group policy is that surplus cash, when not used to repay borrowings, is placed on deposit with the Group's main relationship banks and with other banks or money market funds based on a minimum credit rating and maximum exposure. The significant concentrations of credit risk are to related parties (refer notes 17, 18 and 25). Management consider that the credit quality of the various receivables is good in respect of the amounts outstanding and therefore credit risk is considered to be low. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date assuming that any security held has no value. Cash and cash equivalents The Group held cash and cash equivalents of 204,147 at 30 June 2021 (2020: 711,798).
The Group also holds petty cash of £634 as at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: £1,000). Guarantees The Group's policy is to provide financial guarantees only for subsidiaries' liabilities. At 30 June 2021, the Company has issued a guarantee to certain banks in respect of credit facilities granted to One Heritage Oscar House Limited £122,447 (30 June 2020: nil) and One Heritage Lincoln House Limited, £770,000 (30 June 2020: £770,000), subsidiaries, see note 20. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group does not have sufficient financial resources available to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, matching the expected cash flow timings of financial assets and liabilities with the use of cash and cash equivalents, borrowings, overdrafts and committed revolving credit facilities with a minimum of 12 months to maturity. Future borrowing requirements are forecast on a monthly basis and funding headroom is maintained above forecast peak requirements to meet unforeseen events. At 30 June 2021, the Group's borrowings and facilities had a range of maturities with an average life of 19 months. In addition to fixed term borrowings, the Group has access to a shareholder loan facility. At the reporting date, the total unused committed amount available for general purposes was £5.7 million and cash and cash equivalents were £204,147. The maturity profile of the anticipated future cash flows including interest, using the latest applicable relevant rate, based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay financial liabilities on an undiscounted basis, is as follows: As at 30 June 2021
As at 30 June 2020 (unaudited)
*excludes future interest on the borrowings that have been disposed of as part of the Group restructuring The secured bank debt contains loan covenants, disclosed in note 20. A future breach of covenant may require the Group to repay the loan earlier than indicated in the above table. Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Group's income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control risk exposures within acceptable exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The Group does not hold any equity positions, loans with variable interest rates and trade in foreign currencies, it considers the market risk to be low. The Group holds a profit participation loan, see note 17. The value of this is based on cost, which is equivalent to fair value, as the loan is repayable at any point by the borrower. Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative nearly risk-free rates (referred to as 'IBOR reform'). The Group has exposures to IBORs on its financial instruments that will be replaced or reformed as part of these market-wide initiatives. There is uncertainty over the timing and the methods of transition in some jurisdictions that the Group operates in. The Group anticipates that IBOR reform will impact its risk management and hedge accounting. Interest rate risk management The Group has a policy to have fixed interest rate borrowings where possible. Where this is not possible, the Group will look to hedge interest variability if cost effective. Interest rate sensitivity The Group does not currently have any outstanding variable interest rate arrangements and therefore returns are not sensitive to movements in the interest rates in the next financial period on existing borrowing obligations.
The Directors' did not receive any other benefits or post-employment remuneration. Jeffery Pym was paid £4,613 (30 June 2020: nil) as a consultant before becoming Director on 21 July 2020.
All shares issued by the Company are ordinary shares and have equal voting and distribution rights. The earning per share calculation has been calculated on the basis that the opening balance of shares in issue was 20,700,000, on the assumption the £2.75 million loan, which was received in the prior period, was converted under the merger method of preparation.
On 22 July 2020 100 shares were issued for £1.00 per share. On 27 October 2020 the Company issued 20,699,900 ordinary shares for £2,750,000 as part of the Company's restructuring. This was a debt for equity transaction regarding a shareholder loan for £2.75 million, as described in Note 2. On 23 December 2020 the Company issued 9,300,000 ordinary shares for 10p per share. The Company incurred listing fees of £303,581. The Company also issued 600,000 warrants to Hybridan LLP, the Company's financial advisor and broker, at a strike price of 10p with an expiry on 23 December 2025. These were valued at listing at £4,989 by using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model and recognised as part of the equity component. These were exercised on 28 June 2021. On 18 February 2021 the Company issued 1,828,333 shares for 30p per share during a placing and subscription. This raised gross proceeds of £548,500 and the Company incurred fees of £78,786. On 28 June 2021 the Company issued 600,000 shares in relation to the warrants issued to Hybridan LLP at 10p per share. This raised gross proceeds of £60,000 and the Company incurred fees of £13,125. The total shares in issue as at 30 June 2021 is 32,428,333 and are fully paid up. Earnings per share reconciliation The Group undertook a restructuring, see note 2, where the merger method was used. Under this methodology the debt to equity transaction on 27 October 2020 was assumed to have taken place throughout the prior period. To give a comparable earnings per share for the Group an adjustment was made, as below, to take into account the interest that was paid on the loan.

Notes to the Company financial statements For the period ended to 30 June 2021
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements, except as noted below. General information One Heritage Group plc is a public limited company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006 on 21 July 2020. The address of its registered office and principle place of trading is 80 Mosley Street, Manchester, M2 3FX. The principle activity of the Company is a property development holding company. The Company does not have any employees and is funded through the issuance of share capital to investors. Basis of preparation These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework ("FRS 101"). In preparing these financial statements, the Company applies the recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements of international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ("Adopted IFRSs"), but makes amendments where necessary in order to comply with Companies Act 2006 and has set out below where advantage of the FRS 101 disclosure exemptions has been taken. Under section s408 of the Companies Act 2006 the Company is exempt from the requirement to present its own profit and loss account. In these financial statements, the Company has applied the exemptions available under FRS 101 in respect of the following disclosures:
As the consolidated financial statements include the equivalent disclosures, the Company has also taken the exemptions under FRS 101 available in respect of the following disclosures:
The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. Measuring convention The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost. Financial guarantees A financial guarantee contract is initially recognised at fair value. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, financial guarantees are measured at the higher of:
The amount of the loss allowance at each subsequent reporting period equals the 12-month expected credit losses. However, where there has been a significant increase in the risk that the specified debtor will default on the contract, the calculation is for lifetime expected credit losses. Foreign currencies These financial statements are presented in Pound sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentational currency. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each statement of financial statement date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the statement of financial statement date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Gains and losses arising on retranslation are included in the net profit or loss for the period. Investment in subsidiary Investment in and loans to subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment. Impairment The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the "cash-generating unit"). An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
The Company assesses the subsidiaries for any indicators of impairment by looking at the individual performance of the underlying entities, including their budgets, development progress and forecast profitability. There are no indicators of impairment.
The share capital of each of the companies, where applicable, comprises ordinary shares unless otherwise stated.
Below is a list of the key subsidiaries of One Heritage Property Development (UK) Limited.

The Company assesses the intercompany loans for any indicators of impairment by looking at the individual performance of the underlying entities, including their budgets, development progress and forecast profitability. There are no indicators of impairment and therefore no expected credit losses.
