Share Price The middle market price of the Ordinary shares were quoted at 31 December 2013 on the ISDX (previously the PLUS Market) at 12.5p pence per share (2012: 12.5 pence per share) Chairman's statement As the UK economic recovery takes hold the prospects for the retail property market are now better than they have been for a number of years. Growth in consumer spending has led to increased sales and a boost to retailers. However to what extent this will benefit landlords invested in the retail sector is uncertain. The Company's portfolio remains fully let and the Company continues to service the interest on the loan facility/hedging instrument with Royal Bank of Scotland Plc ("RBS") pending any renewal/financial restructuring. Turnover has reduced to Â£131,003 compared with Â£175,118 in 2012 (which was higher last year due to the recovery of a dilapidations claim). The figure is similar to 2011 and previous years. The loss before and after taxation was Â£ 78,011 compared with Â£67, 851 in 2012. Despite potential opportunities to do so the Company's ability to grow turnover has been severely prejudiced by the delay and uncertainty of the outcome of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) review of interest rate hedging products. However I am now very pleased to report a favourable outcome to the FCA review and the receipt of a provisional determination basic redress offer from Royal Bank of Scotland PLC (see details below). RBS Loan Facility/Swap Background You will be aware that in June 2008 the Company entered into a 5 year loan facility with RBS to repay its bank borrowings and provide additional debt finance. As a precondition of the loan RBS required the Company to hedge the interest rate exposure through an interest rate hedging instrument (`Swap') switching the variable rate of the loan to a fixed interest rate. In 2012 the Company made a complaint to RBS about the mis-selling of the Swap. This was followed by an announcement from the FCA in June 2012 that its preliminary review into the sale of interest rate hedging products to small and medium sized businesses had found serious failings by certain leading banks including RBS. The FCA also announced that agreement had been reached with RBS and the other major banks to participate in an independent past business review (`FCA Review') and a redress exercise. FCA Review outcome On 19 May 2014 the Company's legal representatives received a letter from RBS informing them of the outcome of the FCA review and making a provisional determination basic redress offer, of which the principal terms are:- * The provisional basic redress payment including interest will be Â£457,136.59 * The existing swap contract will be cancelled at nil cost to the Company * The Company will have the opportunity to submit a claim for the recovery of any consequential loss and any additional tax liability which may arise as a result of receiving the basic redress payment After taking specialist legal advice the Company has accepted the redress offer subject to any potential claims for consequential loss and additional tax liability The Company remains in negotiation with RBS to renew the loan facility. However it is clear that due to the present value of the properties the loan will not be renewed at the current level. As a consequence the Company is looking at alternative sources of finance including the possibility of a rights or loan note issue. I shall report to the shareholders on this as soon as the Board has sufficient information to make a recommendation. Chairman's statement (continued) We continue to maintain a tight control of the Company's cash resources, which we consider adequate to support current levels of expenditure, although we keep them under constant review. In current circumstances the Board is unable to recommend the payment of a dividend for the year ended 31 December 2013. The annual general meeting will take place at the Royal Automobile Club, 89 Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5HS on Friday 11 July 2014 at 10 a.m., and the directors look forward to meeting those shareholders who can attend. David Duffield Chairman Strategic report 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 Model At Secured Property Developments, we focus on maximising the return from our portfolio of properties whilst looking for new acquisitions where we can by development increase value and thereby create value for shareholders. We create value by :- Acquiring Properties. We seek to acquire properties and unlock value. Optimise Income. Optimising income by development and carrying out improvements and good estate management. Employ our knowledge of occupiers' needs to let to high quality tenants from a wide range of businesses and to minimise the level of voids in our portfolio. Collecting our rental income on due date. Recycle Capital. Identify properties for disposal where value has been optimised and dispose of those which do not fit the Group's long-term plans. Maintain robust and flexible financing. Negotiate flexible financing and retain a healthy level of interest cover and gearing Business Review The results for the year are set out on page 12 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 bank borrowings. A review of the business is included in the Chairman's Statement set out on page 3 and 4. Principal Risks and Uncertainties Going Concern The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis for the reasons set out in note 1 to the financial statements. 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 and 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. Strategic report (continued) 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 date of the loan to the group are set out in note 14 of these financial statements. The current status of the negotiations in respect of the Group's financing facilities is set out in the Chairman' Statement and note 1 to the financial statements. Future Developments With the impending settlement of the "swap" situation, the Directors will now be able to actively consider opportunities that may arise including alternative sources of financing.

By order of the board I H Cobden Unit 6 Orchard Mews Secretary 42 Orchard Road Date : 6 June 2014 London Registered number: 2055395 N6 5TR Statement of directors' responsibilities in respect of the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report and the group and parent company financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare group and parent company 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. ABCD Independent auditor's report to the members of Secured Property Developments Plc We have audited the financial statements of Secured Property Developments plc for the year ended 31 December 2013 set out on pages 12 to 27. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and UK Accounting Standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Respective responsibilities of directors and auditor As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 9, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for Auditors. Scope of the audit of the financial statements A description of the scope of an audit of financial statements is provided on the Financial Reporting Council's web-site at www.frc.org.uk/ auditscopeukprivate. Opinion on financial statements In our opinion the financial statements: * give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2013 and of the group's loss for the year then ended; * have been properly prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and * have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Emphasis of matter - going concern In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in note 1 to the financial statements concerning the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Group and Company are dependent on the successful refinancing of a bank debt of Â£1.5m which expired on 3 June 2013. The lender has indicated that it may not refinance the entire principal amount of the loan. The Company may need to seek further capital investment from existing investors or alternative financing to cover the shortfall between any proposed facility and the existing debt. These conditions, along with the other matters explained in note 1 to the financial statements, indicate the existence of material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Group and the Parent Company were unable to continue as a going concern. Independent auditor's report to the members of Secured Property Developments plc (continued) Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. 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 2013. 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 These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting notwithstanding that the Group and Parent Company had net current liabilities of Â£1,175,345 and Â£1,116,191 as at 31 December 2013 respectively, and the Group recorded a loss of Â£78,011 and had a cash outflow of Â£36,572 for the year then ended. The Company has a bank loan of Â£1,500,000 with the Royal Bank of Scotland ("RBS"), which had an original repayment date of 3 June 2013. The RBS banking facility includes cross guarantees and security over all the assets of the Group. The facility also includes an out of the money pay-variable receive-fixed interest rate swap, which was due to mature in 2018. The swap included a mandatory break clause exercisable on expiry of the loan (see below). In 2012 the Company lodged a formal complaint to RBS in respect of the interest rate swap. The complaint alleged that RBS had mis-sold this instrument to the Company, and as such the Company should not be liable to pay any breakage costs to RBS on termination of the instrument. Around the same time the Financial Conduct Authority (formerly Financial Services Authority) announced that an independent past business review and a redress exercise of the sale of interest rate hedging products to small and medium sized businesses (`the FCA Review') has been agreed with major banks. In August 2012, the Company received a letter from RBS confirming that RBS would be taking part in the FCA Review. As set out in note 23, subsequent to the year end, the Company has accepted an offer from RBS which includes the termination of the interest rate swap at Â£nil cost to the Company and a compensation payment of Â£457,136. RBS has indicated that the loan would not become repayable until after the FCA review is completed. As the FCA review is reaching conclusion the loan will become repayable and so the Directors are progressing with the refinancing negotiations with RBS and/or alternative sources of refinance. Notes (continued) 1 Accounting policies (continued) Presently, RBS has indicated that it may not refinance the entire principal amount of the loan. The Company may need to seek further capital investment from existing investors or alternative financing to cover any substantial shortfall between any proposed facility and the existing debt. The directors are working with the bank to identify all viable options, as any shortfall financing will be dependent on the specifics of the proposed refinancing facility. The directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that the replacement facility will be agreed on satisfactory terms and that sufficient funding necessary to cover the shortfall will be secured. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months following the approval of these financial statements. Taking into account the amounts currently held in cash reserve funds and the future receipt of the compensation payment of Â£457,136 from the FCA review, the directors consider that the Company will be able to meet its financial obligations (excluding the substantial repayment of the bank loan) for at least the next 12 months, based on these cash flow forecasts. The directors have concluded that the conditions set out above indicate the existence of material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt on the Group's and Company's ability to continue as a going concern and that they may, therefore, be unable to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business. Nevertheless, after making enquiries and considering the uncertainties described above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Group and Company were unable to continue as a going concern. 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. 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. Notes (continued) 1 Accounting policies (continued) 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. 2 Turnover Turnover and profit on ordinary activities before taxation are attributable to the principal activities of the group.
