Business review, results and dividends

All trading and property assets of Trafalgar Property Group Plc (Group) are held in the name of the Group or its subsidiaries as follows:

Trafalgar New Homes Limited (TNH)

Trafalgar Retirement+ Limited (TR+)

Selmat Limited (Selmat)

Combe Bank Homes (Oakhurst) Limited (Oakhurst)

Combe Homes (Borough Green) Limited (Borough Green)

Life Hydroponic Assets Ltd

TNH continues to be the main trading subsidiary but given the lack of activity in Selmat, Life Hydroponic Assets Ltd and TR+ it was decided that an impairment provision be made against the inter company accounts with TPG together with provision against the associated management charges issued by TPG. The effects on the company balance sheet can be seen in note 9 to the company accounts.

Mortgage of £963,750 (2024 – £450,100) exist on the properties held by TNH at the balance sheet date. Following the sale of the Speldhurst property after the year end the mortgages have been reduced by £600,000.

As stated in an RNS dated July 2025, the company acquired from Paul Elliott (a director from 6th May 2025) a 10% equity interest in Hilton House, a commercial property in Stockport to be converted to residential, for £350,000 to be satisfied by the issuance of 366,666,667 new ordinary shares at £0.0003 each amounting to £110,000 leaving Paul, at the time, with 29.43% of the fully diluted share capital. The balance of £240,000 will be satisfied through the issue of an unsecured CLN at £0.0003 strike price.

The current principal activity of the Group continues to be that of a regional property developer focused upon Kent, Surrey, Sussex and the M25 ring south of London together with investment in residential property, which have a rental income of £600 (2024: £nil). As stated previously the Group is now considering other property opportunities in other regions of the UK. The consolidated results of the year’s trading are shown below. The consolidated loss for the year was £400,266 (2024: Loss £516,723). Management believes the key indicators of performance for the Group are the revenue and profitability achieved during the year.

Principal risks & uncertainties

Set out below are certain risk factors which could have an impact on the Group's long-term performance. The factors discussed below should not be regarded as a complete and comprehensive statement of all potential risks and uncertainties facing the Group.

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group are:

1. Direct costs may escalate and eat into gross profit margins due to unexpected interest rate movements and high inflation rates putting pressure on material costs.

2. There may be uncertainty in obtaining adequate finance thus putting pressure on the going concern of the Group.

3. Heavy overheads may be incurred especially when projects have been completed and before others have been commenced.

4. The Group could commit too much to future capital projects.

5. The Group’s reliance on key members of staff.

6. The market may deteriorate, damaging liquidity of the Group and future revenues.

7. The potential conversion of the property in Stockport may not complete.  

The Group considers that it mitigates these risks with the following policies and actions:

1. The Group affords its bankers and other lenders a strong level of asset and income cover and maintains good relationships with a range of funding sources from which it is able to secure finance on favourable terms for the initial purchase of potential development sites. The Plc also has access to shareholder funding via placing of shares in the market. A full statement regarding going concern is shown in the accounting policies on page 23.

2. Direct costs are outsourced on a fixed price contract basis, thereby passing on to the contractor all risk of cost overspend, including from increased material, labour or other costs.

3. Most other professional services are also outsourced, thus providing a known fixed cost before any project is taken forward and avoiding the risk that can arise in employing in-house professionals at a high unproductive overhead at times when activity is slack.

4. Buying decisions for capital projects are taken at Board level, after careful research by the Directors personally, who have substantial experience in various business sectors and markets.

The Group has focused on a niche market sector of new home developments in the range of four to twenty units. Within this unit size, competition to purchase development sites from land buyers is relatively weak, as this size is unattractive to major national and regional house builders who require a larger scale to justify their administration and overheads, whilst being too many units for the smaller independent builder to finance or undertake as a project. Many competitors who also focus on this niche have yet to recapitalise and are unable to raise finance.

5. Many of the activities are outsourced and each of the Directors is fully aware of the activities of all members.

6. The Group has a corporate governance policy appropriate for a small publicly listed Company with ambitions substantially to raise its profile within the wider investor community.

7. The directors will consider alternative business opportunities and will underpin any cash flow implications by arranging loans with the target companies to be used for any abort fees.

Directors’ duties under S172

The Directors believe that, individually and together, they have acted in a way that they have consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole, having regard, amongst other things, to:

a. the likely consequences of any decision in the long term,

b. the interests of the Company’s employees,

c. the need to foster the Company’s business relationship with suppliers, customers and others,

d. the impact of the Company’s operations on the community and environment,

e. the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct, and

f. the need to act fairly between members of the Company.

The Board of Directors is collectively responsible for formulating the Company’s strategy, which is to invest in property development but will also consider other opportunities where those prospects will better deliver growth to its shareholders as indicated by the RNS issued 29 May 2024 where the directors were in early stage discussions with Ecap Esport Ltd for a potential reverse takeover. Of course, the Board cannot predict the future but aims to make decisions that it considers are in the best interest of all shareholders at the time.

The Board engages with its stakeholders in a number of pre-planned ways, these include; review meetings with our brokers and advisors, shareholders have the ability to email the Company directly and the Board will reply to questions within the regulatory limits, the Company issues RNS communications on a regular basis and the Company’s web site is continuously updated to inform our stakeholders. The Company’s annual report is also an opportunity to update our stakeholders.

Our employees are one of the primary assets of our business and will be critical to the future success of the Company. First and foremost, the Directors strive to ensure a safe working environment for all its staff and contractors, and we are proud of our safety achievements in 2024/25. We also seek to reward employees with remuneration packages which align the interests of the Company and its shareholders with those of the employees. Employees are also provided with challenging work and external training opportunities to ensure their continual development.

The Directors believe they have acted in the way they consider most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole, as required by Section 172 (1) of the Companies Act 2006.
