Share Price The middle market price of the Ordinary shares were quoted at 31 December 2009 on the PLUS Market at 22.5 pence per share (2008:32.50 pence per share) Chairman's statement The loss before tax in the year was £25,688 compared with a loss of £18,422 for 2008. The property valuation as at 31 March 2008 incorporated in the 2008 accounts resulted in a write down of 21.85% which was considered by the directors at the time to be conservative. The directors are of the opinion that no change is appropriate this year, as there is no current intention to dispose of any of the properties and the present market makes objective property valuation extremely difficult. Notwithstanding the loss for the year, the Board considers it appropriate to recommend the payment of a dividend subject to approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting at the rate of 2½% (½ penny per share) which will cost £9,903. As expected 2009 has proved a difficult year, not least because the Group's current cash balance continues to earn interest at a rate significantly below the cost of the term borrowings. Being well past normal retirement age I have decided to retire as Chairman and as a member of the Board with effect from 2 April and therefore this will be the last set of Annual Accounts that bear my signature. My position as Chairman will be taken by Mr David Duffield who was co-opted to the Board on 30 March 2010. Mr Duffield has a wide knowledge of and experience in the property industry having held senior executive positions within the industry. I wish him and the Board well in their endeavours to take the Group forward during these difficult times. The annual general meeting will take place at the Royal Automobile Club, 89 Pall Mall London, SW1Y 5HS on the Tuesday 18 of May 2010 at 11 a.m., and the directors look forward to meeting those shareholders, who can attend. Philip Cottam Chairman Date: 30 March 2010 Directors' report The directors present their directors' report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009. Principal activities The principal activity of Secured Property Developments plc is investment in commercial property. The group comprises the holding company, a finance company and a second property company. Business review The results for the year are set out on page 9 of these consolidated financial statements. The group's investment properties are let at rents commensurate with local market conditions and on terms that include periodic upwards adjustment, financed by medium-term borrowings. Derivatives and other financial instruments The group's financial instruments comprise borrowings, some cash and liquid resources, convertible unsecured loan stock and various items, such as trade debtors, trade creditors, that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the group's operations. The main risks arising from the group's financial instruments are interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. These policies have remained unchanged since the beginning of 2002. Interest rate risk The group finances its operations through bank borrowings. Currently the group borrows at a rate of interest fixed by a swap agreement on all its borrowings. The group's policy is to borrow at the lowest rates for periods that do not carry excessive time premiums. Liquidity risk As regards liquidity, the group's policy has throughout the year been to ensure that the group is able at all times to meet its financial commitments as and when they fall due. The maturity dates of the various loans to the group are set out in note 15 of these financial statements. Proposed dividend and transfer to reserves The directors recommend the payment of a dividend of ½ penny per share, payable on 21 June 2010 to those on the register of shareholders at the close of business on 14 May 2010. The loss for the year retained in the group is £25,688 (2008: loss £18,442).

By order of the board R B Dobrée Unit 6 Orchard Mews Secretary 42 Orchard Road London Date : 30 March 2010 N6 5TR Statement of directors' responsibilities in respect of the Directors' Report and the financial statements The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare the group and parent company financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and parent company and of their profit or loss for that period. In preparing each of the group and parent company financial statements, the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group and the parent company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the parent company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the parent company and enable them to ensure that its financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Secured Property Developments plc (continued) Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: –  adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or –  the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or –  certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or –  we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost accounting rules as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The financial statements are in compliance with the Companies Act 2006 except that, as noted below, investment properties are not depreciated. Basis of consolidation The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Secured Property Developments plc and its subsidiary undertakings. These financial statements are made up to 31 December 2009. Unless otherwise stated, the acquisition method of accounting has been adopted. Under this method, the results of subsidiary and associated undertakings acquired or disposed of in the year are included in the consolidated profit and loss account from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. In accordance with s408 of the Companies Act 2006 Secured Property Developments plc is exempt from the requirement to present its own profit and loss account. The result for the financial year dealt with in the financial statements of Secured Property Developments plc is disclosed in note 18 to these financial statements. Going concern The directors have considered the future profitability of the company and its ability to continue as a going concern and have prepared profit and cash flow forecasts into the future. Based on these projections the directors are satisfied that, for the foreseeable future, the company can meet its working capital requirements. Consequently the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Investment properties In accordance with SSAP 19, depreciation is not charged on investment properties held by the group. This is a departure from the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 which requires all properties to be depreciated. Such properties are not held for consumption but for investment and the directors consider that to depreciate them would not give a true and fair view. Investment properties are revalued annually by the directors and periodic external valuations are completed when considered necessary, usually over a five year period. The aggregate surplus or deficit is transferred to a revaluation reserve. The directors consider that this policy results in the accounts giving a true and fair view. Taxation The charge for taxation is based on the profit for the year and takes into account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax is recognised without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes which have arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except as otherwise required by Financial Reporting Standard 19. Notes (continued) 1 Accounting policies (continued) Classification of financial instruments issued by the Group Following the adoption of FRS 25, financial instruments issued by the Group are treated as equity (i.e. forming part of shareholders' funds) only to the extent that they meet the following two conditions: - they include no contractual obligations upon the Company (or Group as the case may be) to deliver cash or other financial assets or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Company (or Group); and - where the instrument will or may be settled in the Company's own equity instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to deliver a variable number of the Company's own equity instruments or is a derivative that will be settled by the Company's exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity instruments. To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are classified as a financial liability. Where the instrument so classified takes the legal form of the Company's own shares, the amounts presented in these financial statements for called up share capital and share premium account exclude amounts in relation to those shares. Finance payments associated with financial liabilities are dealt with as part of interest payable and similar charges. Finance payments associated with financial instruments that are classified as part of shareholders' funds, are dealt with as appropriations in the reconciliation of movements in shareholders' funds. Cash and liquid resources Cash, for the purpose of the cash flow statement, comprises cash in hand and deposits repayable on demand, less overdrafts payable on demand. Turnover Turnover represents the amounts (excluding value added tax) derived from rental income from investment properties and from interest earned on loans during the year. 2 Turnover and profit on ordinary activities before taxation Turnover and profit on ordinary activities before taxation are attributable to the principal activities of the group. Turnover was derived from the activities of the group as follows: 2009 2008 £ £ Rental income from investment properties 151,201 141,375 Interest earned on loans 124 1,657 151,325 143,032 All turnover and pre-tax profit on ordinary activities before taxation was earned in the UK.

The re-assessment took account of a professional revaluation of both the Scarborough and York properties by Chartered Surveyors Atis Real UK Ltd, as at 31 March 2008. Both external valuations were completed in accordance with the current edition of the Practice Statements and Guidance Notes of the Appraisal and Valuation Standards prepared by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The valuation of 31st March 2008 resulted in a write down of the Group's property values by 21.85% and was considered at the time by the Directors to be conservative. The Directors are of the opinion that it is appropriate to leave the values unchanged for the purpose of these accounts.
