Investment strategy Stenprop currently focuses on property investment in the United Kingdom, Germany and Switzerland with an emphasis on commercial and retail assets. Its objective is to cultivate a diversified portfolio of quality investment properties delivering sustainable and growing earnings, distributions and capital growth to shareholders. It does not generally pursue development exposure other than value add asset management and related development of existing assets to protect and improve capital values. It intends to distribute most of its earnings which are available for distribution on a bi-annual basis. Business review Portfolio Summary Following the completion of the purchase of Trafalgar Court in March 2015 for GBP61.4 million, Stenprop concluded three further acquisitions in the financial year ended 31 March 2016. These are detailed below and relate to two retail shopping centres in Berlin with a total purchase price of EUR43.3 million and a 50% interest in an entity which owns an office building at 25 Argyll Street in the West End of London, valued at acquisition at GBP75 million, Effective asset management is an important component of driving returns through initiatives designed to increase rental returns and valuation growth. Stenprop continues to enjoy strong relationships with its major occupiers and has seen a number of leasing successes across the portfolio. The Group's portfolio is well positioned and the team remains focused on the careful development of a diversified selection of properties through proactive asset management and strategic sales and acquisitions. Stenprop currently has an interest in 55 properties with a total market value of EUR891.0 million1 (2015: EUR806.7 million), with 42% in the United Kingdom, 41% in Germany and 17% in Switzerland (by value). The portfolio, which has a gross lettable area of approximately 254,100 m(2) (2015: 240,500) and gross annual rent of EUR52.8 million(1) (2015: EUR48.7 million) is predominantly in the office and retail sectors which account for 51% and 38% of rental income respectively.

Acquisitions The purchase of the Victoria shopping centre for EUR22.0 million excluding acquisition costs, completed on 24 November 2015. The property is located in the Lichtenberg district of Berlin, approximately 15 minutes by underground from the city centre. The investment is anchored by Kaufland (a hypermarket chain) on a new 17 year lease. The return on equity on this investment exceeded 8% per annum on purchase. At year end the external independent valuation of the centre was EUR31.2 million, which represents an increase of over 42% on cost and over 78% increase on equity invested. This substantial increase was primarily driven by back to back negotiations between Stenprop and one of the key tenants to restructure its lease following completion. (1)Includes Stenprop's share of the properties held within the associate and joint venture investments. The acquisition of a shopping centre known as Hermann Quartier for a purchase price of EUR22.7 million completed on 24 August 2015. The property is on a high street location of Berlin's central suburb of Neukolln with excellent public transport links, including an underground station inside the shopping centre. The property is anchored by well-known national retailers including Kaiser's, DM and Netto. The return on equity on this investment exceeded 7.5% per annum at inception after taking into account vacancies of approximately 11% of all lettable space. The property is performing well and at the year end the independent valuation was EUR22.9 million. Stenprop is now actively engaged in managing the property to let the vacant space and increase income. On 20 May 2015, the Group acquired a 50% interest in Regent Arcade House Holdings Limited (RAHHL), which owns the property known as 25 Argyll Street. The acquisition cost was GBP18.9 million which was based on a valuation of the property of GBP75 million. RAHHL refinanced the property with an interest-only bank loan of GBP37.5 million at an all-in rate of 2.974% per annum, with a term of five years. The building was independently valued at GBP82.5 million at year end. Disposals In January 2016 Stenprop completed the sale of a 10,000 sqm distribution warehouse in Leigh, situated in the north west of England. The warehouse was sold for GBP5.37 million, representing an uplift of 8.4% compared with the September 2015 valuation of GBP4.95 million. The building, although let, was not being occupied by the tenant and required significant refurbishment. As it was a non-core asset in a marginal location Stenprop elected to take advantage of the strong market to dispose of it at a premium to the latest valuation. The equity released from the sale is intended to be used to acquire stronger, earnings-enhancing assets. The Nova Eventis shopping centre near Leipzig, in which the Group has a 28.4% interest, is currently being marketed for sale by Jones Lang LaSalle GmbH. The shopping centre, which has over 200 shops and an occupancy level of 96.4%, has 96,387 m(2) of lettable space and an annual daily footfall in excess of 15,000 people. We are satisfied with the progress of the sale process and look forward to providing an update in our Interim Report. Financial review Earnings The basic earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year ended 31 March 2016 were EUR49.3 million (2015: EUR37.6 million). This equates to a diluted IFRS EPS of 17.66 cents (2015: 28.37 cents). Headline earnings were EUR26.7 million (2015: EUR10.8 million) equating to a diluted headline EPS of 9.56 cents (2015: 8.18 cents). In accordance with reporting standards widely adopted across the real estate industry in Europe, the board of directors feels it is appropriate and useful, in addition to providing the IFRS disclosed earnings, to also disclose EPRA earnings. Adjusted EPRA(2) earnings attributable to shareholders were EUR29.0 million (2015: EUR12.8 million), equating to a diluted adjusted EPRA EPS of 10.41 cents (2015: 9.69 cents). This represents a 7.4% increase on the diluted adjusted EPRA EPS for the year ended 31 March 2015. Management fee income relates to fees earned by the management companies on management and administration services provided to certain managed property syndicates and funds. During the year the Group earned fees relating to the disposal of assets held by managed syndicates of EUR0.9 million. Ongoing management fees made up the balance of the management fee income which totalled EUR2.9 million for the year ended 31 March 2016. Dividends On 8 June 2016, the directors declared a final dividend of 4.70 cents per share which, together with the interim dividend of 4.2 cents (2015: nil) declared on 26 November 2015, results in a total dividend for the year ended 31 March 2016 of 8.90 cents (2015: 4.2 cents). The final dividend will be a cash dividend. An announcement containing details of the dividend and the timetable will be made separately On 25 January 2016, the Company announced a 41.5% take-up of the interim scrip dividend of 4.2 cents declared on 26 November 2015, for which 3,253,857 new Stenprop shares were issued at a price of EUR1.49854 per share. (2)The European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) issued Best Practices Policy Recommendations in December 2014, which provide guidelines for performance measures relevant to real estate companies. Their recommended reporting standards are widely applied across this market, aiming to bring consistency and transparency to the sector. The EPRA earnings measure disclosed in Note 15, is intended to show the level of recurring earnings from core operational activities with the purpose of highlighting the Group's underlying operating results from its property rental business and an indication of the extent to which current dividend payments are supported by earnings. The measure excludes unrealised changes in the value of investment properties, gains or losses on the disposal of properties and other items that do not provide an accurate picture of the Group's underlying operational performance. The measure is considered to accurately capture the long-term strategy of the Group, and is an indication of the sustainability of dividend payments. Net assets The IFRS (basic and diluted) net asset value per share at 31 March 2016 was EUR1.61 (2015: EUR1.59). As is the case with regard to the disclosure of EPRA earnings, the directors feel that it is appropriate and useful, in addition to IFRS NAV, to also disclose EPRA NAV(3). The diluted EPRA NAV per share at 31 March 2016 was EUR1.67 (2015: EUR1.65) and represents a 1.2% increase on the prior year end. Foreign exchange Foreign exchange markets have remained relatively volatile towards year end. The Sterling: Euro exchange rate at the start of April 2015 was GBP1:EUR1.36 and reached over GBP1:EUR1.44 before ending 2015 on GBP1:EUR1.35. As at 31 March 2016 Sterling had weakened further against the Euro. Accordingly at year end, a rate of GBP1:EUR1.27 has been used to translate the Group's Sterling assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. Foreign exchange volatility has also been seen in the Swiss Franc which began the period at CHF1:EUR0.96 and ended the year at CHF1: EUR0.91. The impact of the weakening of Sterling and the Swiss Franc against the Euro can be seen if one assumes that exchange rates at 31 March 2016 had remained constant against the Euro at the level that prevailed on 31 March 2015. On this basis, the diluted IFRS NAV net asset value per share at 31 March 2016 would have been 4.3% higher at EUR1.68 instead of EUR1.61, an increase of 5.6% against the IFRS NAV per share of EUR1.59 at 31 March 2015. The diluted EPRA NAV per share at 31 March 2016 would have been 4.7% higher at EUR1.75 instead of EUR1.67, an increase of 6% against the IFRS NAV per share at 31 March 2015. Stenprop's diversification across the UK, Germany and Switzerland provides a natural spread of currencies. It remains our policy not to hedge currencies and to maintain this multi-currency exposure. Portfolio valuation Including the Company's share of associates and joint ventures, the portfolio valuation at year end was EUR891.0 million (2015: EUR806.7 million). On a like for like basis, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange movements, the valuation of the portfolio increased by EUR31.1 million. This was driven largely by the continued strength of the central London office sector as well as gains at most of the Group's German properties. Weighted average Percentage Market value Annualised Net initial unexpired of portfolio 31 March gross rental yield lease term by market 2016 Area income (weighted ('WAULT') value (EUR million) Properties m(2) (EUR million) average) (by rental) United Kingdom 36.1 321.5 13 63,506 19.0 5.32 6.8 Germany 28.3 252.6 23 92,041 14.5 5.18 6.9 Switzerland 17.5 155.7 13 48,799 8.5 4.51 5.9 Total 81.9 729.8 49 204,346 42.0 5.10 6.7 Share of joint ventures and associates 18.1 161.2 6 49,727 10.8 5.65 7.7 Total 100.0 891.0 55 254,073 52.8 5.20 6.9 United Kingdom The UK portfolio (excluding Argyll Street, which is discussed separately below) was independently valued at GBP254.1 million, an increase of 5.5% on the previous year end valuations on a like for like basis. The strong growth in rental and capital values in central London continues to be driven by a shortage of office supply which has seen these assets, being Euston House and Pilgrim Street, increase in value by GBP12.0 million over the period. Assets elsewhere in the UK have also performed well and marginal yield compression has seen the value of the Guernsey office property increase to GBP62.5 million from a purchase price of GBP61.4 million. (3)The objective of the EPRA NAV measure is to highlight the fair value of net assets on an ongoing, long-term basis. EPRA NAV is used as a reporting measure to better reflect underlying net asset value attributable to shareholders. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances such as the fair value of financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses are therefore excluded. The EPRA measure thus takes into account the fair value of assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, other than fair value adjustments to financial instruments, deferred tax and goodwill. As the Group has adopted fair value accounting for investment property per IAS40, adjustments to reflect the EPRA NAV include only those relating to the revaluation of financial instruments and deferred tax.. Germany The German portfolio (excluding associates and joint ventures) was independently valued at EUR252.6 million. On a like for like basis and excluding the Hermann Quartier and Victoria Berlin retail shopping centres acquired during the year, property values rose by 3.5%, driven by a EUR3.8 million increase at the Bleichenhof mixed use property in the city core of Hamburg with a further EUR2.5 million increase seen at our portfolio of 14 Aldi properties. As explained earlier in this report, the Victoria retail centre in Berlin was valued at EUR31.2 million at year end representing a substantial increase of 51.4% on the purchase price of EUR20.6 million and driven primarily by a strategic lease restructure with one of the key tenants. Switzerland The Swiss portfolio was independently valued at CHF170.3 million, a 2.7% decrease on the previous year end valuation of CHF175.0 million. This decrease is almost entirely due to the Lugano property which is currently almost entirely vacant due to anticipated lease expiries. We are in advanced negotiations on a pre-let of all of the vacant space based on a comprehensive refurbishment and asset management repositioning of this property. Once these negotiations are finalised and the necessary works have been completed, the value of the property and the rental income is expected to increase significantly. Joint ventures and associates The Care Homes portfolio valuation of EUR34.2million has increased by 2.4% on the 31 March 2015 valuation of EUR33.4 million. This reflects a new lease at one of the four care homes. The portfolio remains fully let. The Group's 50% interest in 25 Argyll Street has increased by 9% since its acquisition in May 2015 reflecting the strong demand for office space in central London. The Nova Eventis shopping centre in Leipzig, in which Stenprop holds a 28.42% interest and which is currently being marketed for sale, was valued at EUR265.0 million (this excludes assumed selling costs of 1%), and represents a 3.6% reduction over the year end valuation of EUR275 million. Capital management Based on the value of the property portfolio as at 31 March 2016 of EUR891.0 million (including the Group's share of associate and joint venture properties) and bank debt of EUR460.2 million, the average loan to value ratio was 51.6%, compared with 53.8% at the previous year end. The weighted average debt maturity stood at 2.2 years at 31 March 2016, a level broadly unchanged since the previous year end. Annual capital repayments since 31 March 2015 remain unchanged in Germany and Switzerland, but EUR3.4 million of repayments in the UK have been eliminated following the refinancing at our Euston House and Pilgrim Street properties, resulting in total annual loan repayments across the portfolio of EUR6.2 million. The all-in contracted weighted average cost of debt dropped to 2.8% (including the increased cost caused by negative interest rates in Switzerland and Germany) from 3.07% at 31 March 2015. After taking into account the amortisation of the swap contract liabilities acquired by Stenprop as part of the Stenham Transaction, the effective weighted average cost of debt at 31 March 2016 was 2.53%, including the increased cost of negative interest rates in Switzerland and Germany. As previously reported, on 8 May 2015 the property known as Euston House was refinanced on favourable terms with a five year loan to May 2020. The new facility of GBP27.5 million is interest only. A five year interest rate swap agreement was entered into to fix the interest rate at an all-in rate of 3.02% per annum (previous facility: 4.54%). The Group incurred costs of GBP0.4 million to break the former swap agreement. On 29 May 2015, also as previously reported, the Group extended the existing bank loan (which was due to expire in March 2016), on the property known as Pilgrim Street on favourable terms until March 2019. With effect from signature, the loan became interest only. An interest rate swap agreement was entered into to fix the interest rate for the period from the prior termination date, being 23 March 2016, until the new termination date, at an all-in rate of 2.90% per annum. An existing swap agreement resulted in an all-in rate of 4.11% until 23 March 2016. Stenprop has deliberately delayed refinancing its existing debt in Switzerland, which matures in March 2017, to allow the existing swap contracts to unwind, rather than incur heavy swap break penalties. During the forthcoming financial year Stenprop intends to focus on refinancing much of this debt, as interest rates in Switzerland are at historically low levels. For most of the current financial year Stenprop has also been paying approximately 2.82% per annum on its Swiss debt (or 2.02% after taking into account the capital repayments of the acquired swap contract liabilities) including an extra 0.80 basis points due to negative interest rates which have been imposed on borrowers with swap contracts. Stenprop plans to refinance this debt for a further five years at a loan to value ratio of 50%. This may require a capital repayment of approximately CHF 6 million at the time of such refinance as the current loan to value on the Swiss portfolio is 55.9%. Based on discussions with our Swiss banks, the all-in cost of such finance is anticipated to be approximately 1.50% per annum and there is likely to be no need for further capital repayments compared with current annual capital repayments of CHF 4.02 million. Although current five year swap rates are negative, it is likely that new Swiss debt will be taken on an unhedged floating rate basis as the risk of rates going further into negative territory is perceived as outweighing the risk of positive rates over the next five years. As a general policy, the Company utilises five year debt funding unless there are good reasons to take loans of longer or shorter duration. Stenprop's current weighted average debt maturity profile of 2.2 years is temporarily skewed by three large loan structures, being: - the Swiss debt totalling CHF87.1 million which, as discussed above, is intended to be refinanced during the current year on a five year term; - a loan of EUR84.9 million on our Bleichenhof property in central Hamburg. This loan matures in December 2016, and is currently on a short term fixed rate as the property is undergoing a refurbishment/repositioning at the rear of the property to take advantage of the marriage value with the large scale redevelopment of the property next door. Once the redevelopment is complete, estimated to be in December 2017, our plan is to refinance the property on a five year, fixed rate basis; and - the loan on Nova Eventis, which is held as an associate. Stenprop owns a 28.42% interest in this property which was funded with a four year loan expiring in July 2016. The loan is at a historically high all-in interest rate of 4% pa. As stated earlier, the property is currently being marketed for sale. A six month extension is in the process of being finalised with the current lender on the same terms. As such we will not incur any break costs on sale. The expiry of the Swiss and Bleichenhof debt during the twelve month period after 31 March 2016 is primarily responsible for the increased level of bank loans shown under Current Liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position, which at 31 March 2016 is EUR188.8 million. Stenprop has seen evidence of significant liquidity in both the German and Swiss lending markets, particularly at the levels of gearing shown by the properties in question. Stenprop has strong refinancing experience, having successfully negotiated GBP64.6 million of debt on two London properties in May 2015 at reduced rates and with no capital repayments. Given the strength of the assets and the level of existing gearing, Stenprop expects to secure favourable all-in interest rates, with no capital repayments, on refinancing. As mentioned earlier in this report, the Nova Eventis shopping centre near Leipzig, in which the Group has a 28.4% interest, is currently being marketed for sale. The current lenders have agreed to extend the loan, which matures on 24 July 2016 for a period of six months to 24 January 2017 on terms which are substantially the same as the current terms. Should a decision be taken not to sell the property for any reason, the directors of SESCF anticipate that, given the quality of the property and the strong relationships with German lenders, a refinancing on favourable terms can be secured. Stenprop agrees with this assessment. Subsequent events On 26 May 2016, the UK portfolios known as Davemount and GGP1 were refinanced. The portfolios hold 10 properties across the UK valued at GBP32.6 million. The new GBP12.4 million five year facility was secured with the existing lender, Santander, and has an all-in interest rate of 3.46%. This comprises a 2.25% margin and a swap of 1.21%. As part of the negotiations, it was agreed to remove the requirement for any capital repayments Also in May 2016, a new six year lease was signed at Euston House for 11,787 square feet, representing one floor and 11% of the space. The new tenant will pay an annual rent of just under GBP0.7 million equating to GBP58.50 per square foot per annum from August 2017 onwards. Prior to that the tenant will pay half rent of GBP0.345 million per annum. The previous tenant paid GBP27.50 per square foot per annum on unrefurbished space. Stenprop spent approximately GBP1.4 million on the refurbishment of the space. The building is now fully let. Prospects Stenprop's mission is to enhance and protect shareholder value by delivering sustainable growth in earnings, distributions and net asset value through the active asset management of its carefully selected, high quality, low risk portfolio of European property assets. It expects to grow EPRA earnings per share and distributions by at least 1.5% per annum over the next three years, whilst maintaining the quality of the portfolio and the long term sustainability of earnings. It is forecasting growth of 1.5% per annum in EPRA earnings per share from active management of the existing portfolio. Additional growth of 0.5% to 1% in EPRA earnings per share is achievable if capital can be raised for acquisitions at pricing levels which deliver enhanced earnings from targeted acquisitions. Fluctuations in exchange rates used in our forecast could impact earnings and distributions. This general forecast has been basedon the Group's forecasts and has not been reported on by the external auditors. (3)Exchange rates used in the 2017 forecast were GBP1:EUR1.30 and CHF1:EUR0.90. Statement of directors' responsibilities The directors are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Bermudian company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. The financial statements are required to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business for the foreseeable future, and - follow applicable accounting standards. The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Statement as to disclosure of information to auditors So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Group's auditors are aware of that information.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of investment properties and financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. The principal accounting policies which are consistent with those applied in the previous annual financial statements, and are set out below. This summarised report is extracted from audited information, but is itself not audited. The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the provisional report and that the financial information has been correctly extracted from the underlying annual financial statements. The auditors, Deloitte, have reported on the audited financial statements and their report was unqualified. A copy is available on the Company's website: www.stenprop.com, or upon written request from the Company's registered office. In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows: Level 1 ? Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 ? Inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 ? Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The financial statements are presented in Euros. Going concern At the date of signing these accounts, the Group has positive operating cash flow forecasts and positive net assets. The directors have reviewed the Group's budgets for the year to 31 March 2017, forecasts for the period to September 2017 and the current financial position, and, in light of this review, they are satisfied that the Company and the Group have access to adequate resources to meet obligations and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and specifically the 12 months subsequent to the signing of these financial statements. The cash flow forecasts take into account projected income and expenses; possible changes in the investment property portfolio, including exposure to tenant credit risk; lease expiries; the raising of additional capital; external debt; refinancings which have occurred and are expected to occur subsequent to the reporting date and forecast financial loan covenants. The expiry of the Swiss and Bleichenhof debt during the twelve month period after 31 March 2016 is primarily responsible for the increased level of bank loans shown under Current Liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position, which at 31 March 2016 is EUR188.8 million. Stenprop has seen evidence of significant liquidity in both the German and Swiss lending markets, particularly at the levels of gearing shown by the properties in question. Stenprop has strong refinancing experience, having successfully negotiated GBP64.6m of debt on two London properties in May 2015 at reduced rates and with no capital repayments. Given the strength of the assets and the level of existing gearing, Stenprop expects to secure favourable all-in interest rates, with no capital repayments, on refinancing. As mentioned earlier in this report, the Nova Eventis shopping centre near Leipzig, in which the Group has a 28.4% interest, is currently being marketed for sale. The current lenders have agreed to extend the loan, which matures on 24 July 2016 for a period of six months to 24 January 2017 on terms which are substantially the same as the current terms. Should a decision be taken not to sell the property for any reason, the directors of SESCF anticipate that, given the quality of the property and the strong relationships with German lenders, a refinancing on favourable terms can be secured. Stenprop agrees with this assessment. The directors believe that it is therefore appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going-concern basis. Note 30 to the financial statements includes the Group's objectives, policies and procedures for managing its market, interest and liquidity risk. 2.Adoption of new and revised standards In the current period the following new and revised standards have been adopted. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts reported in these financial statements: - Annual improvement to IFRS 2010 ? 2012 cycle - Annual improvement to IFRS 2011 ? 2013 cycle - IAS 19 Defined benefit plans: Employee contributions At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following applicable standards which have not been applied to these financial statements, were in issue but not yet effective. They are effective for periods commencing on or after the disclosed date: IFRS 9 Financial instruments (1 January 2018) IFRS 14 Regulatory deferral accounts (1 January 2016) IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers (1 January 2018) IFRS 11 (amendments) Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations (1 January 2016) IFRS 16 Leases (1 January 2019) IAS 1 (amendments) Disclosure initiative (1 January 2016) IAS 7 (amendments) Disclosure initiative (1 January 2017) IAS 12 (amendments) Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses (1 January 2017) IAS 16 and IAS 38 Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation (1 January 2016) IAS 27 (amendments) Equity method in separate financial statements (1 January 2016) IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (amendments) Sale or contribution of assets between an Investor and its associate or joint venture (deferred indefinitely) IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 (amendments) Investment entities: Applying the consolidation exemptions (1 January 2016) Annual improvements to IFRS: 2012 ? 2014 cycle (1 January 2016) Amendment to: IFRS 5/IFRS 7/IAS 19/IAS 34 Management are in the process of assessing these standards and do not expect that the adoption of the standards listed above will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group in the forthcoming period. 3.Significant accounting policies Basis of consolidation Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, the results of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated on consolidation. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the gain or loss on disposal recognised in profit or loss is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), less liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (ie reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable IFRS). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the costs on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity. Business combinations The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of completion, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquired. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the Group's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquisition and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a gain on acquisition. Investments in associates An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant interest is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results, assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, an investment in associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. Joint ventures The Group's investment properties are typically held in property-specific special purpose vehicles (SPVs), which may be legally structured as joint ventures. In assessing whether a particular SPV is accounted for as a subsidiary or joint venture, the Group considers all of the contractual terms of the arrangement, including the extent to which the responsibilities and parameters of the venture are determined in advance of the joint venture agreement being agreed between the two parties. The Group will then consider whether it has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the SPV, so as to obtain benefits from its activities, and the existence of any legal disputes or challenges to this control in order to conclude on the classification of the SPV as a joint venture or subsidiary undertaking. The Group considers this position with the evidence available at the time. The consolidated financial statements account for interests in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting per IFRS 11. Revenue recognition The Group earns returns from investments in direct property assets and management fees. Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue includes amounts receivable in respect of property rental income and service charges earned in the normal course of business, net of sales-related taxes. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on an accrual basis. A rent adjustment based on open market estimated rental value is recognised from the rent review date in relation to unsettled rent reviews. Where a significant rent-free period is included in a lease, the rental income foregone is allocated evenly over the period from the date of lease commencement to the expiry date of the lease. Rental income from fixed and minimum guaranteed rent reviews is recognised on a straight-line basis over the entire lease term. Where such rental income is recognised ahead of the related cash flow, an adjustment is made to ensure the carrying value of the investment property including the accrued rent does not exceed the external valuation. Initial significant direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging a new lease are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period from the date of lease commencement to the expiry date of the lease. Where a lease incentive payment, or surrender premium is paid to enhance the value of a property, it is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period from the date of lease commencement to the expiry date of the lease. Upon receipt of a surrender premium for the early determination of a lease, the profit, net of dilapidations and non-recoverable outgoings relating to the lease concerned, is immediately reflected in income. Contingent rents, such as turnover rents, rent reviews and indexation, are recorded as income in the periods in which they are earned. Management fees are recognised in the income statement on an accrual basis. Service charge income is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered and the related property expenses are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Dividend income from listed securities is recognised at the date the dividend is declared. Interest income is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under the effective interest method as it accrues. Foreign currencies The individual financial statements of each group company are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position are expressed in Euros, which is the functional currency of the Group and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements. In preparing the financial statements of the individual companies, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items 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. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they arise. For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate). Borrowing costs Interest costs are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest rate method. Borrowing costs directly attributable to arranging finance are amortised over the facility term in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Taxation The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax, in those jurisdictions where the property companies are registered, namely Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. In addition, Stenprop Management Limited incurs tax in the United Kingdom. Current tax Tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised on temporary 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 assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax 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 recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, 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 assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period 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 assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Non-controlling interest Non-controlling interests in the net assets (excluding goodwill) of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group's equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling interests' share of the changes in equity since the date of the combination. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Investment properties Properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation are classified as investment properties. Investment properties comprise both freehold and leasehold land and buildings. Investment properties are recognised as assets when: - it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the investment property will flow to the Group; - there are no material conditions precedent which could prevent completion, and - the cost of the investment property can be measured reliably. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including related transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are carried at fair value. The Group uses the valuations prepared by its independent valuers as the fair value of its investment properties. These valuations are undertaken in accordance with the appropriate sections of the current Practice Statements contained in the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Valuation ? Professional Standards (Red Book). This is an internationally accepted basis of valuation. The valuations are based upon assumptions including contractual and estimated rental values, future rental income, anticipated maintenance costs, future development costs and appropriate discount rates. The valuers also make reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties. The difference between the fair value of a property at the reporting date and its carrying amount prior to remeasurement is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as a valuation surplus or deficit. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Expenditure Expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis. Financial instruments Classification A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset to one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument to another. The classification of financial assets and financial liabilities depends on the nature and purpose of the instrument and is determined at the time of initial recognition. Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement. Measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transactions costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets The Group classifies its financial assets as either at fair value through profit and loss or as loans and receivables. Recognition and derecognition Purchases and sale of listed securities are recognised on the trade date which is when the Group commits to purchase or sell the assets. Other financial assets are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. After initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets designated at FVTPL at fair values without any deduction for transaction costs it may incur on their disposal. The fair value of quoted financial assets is their bid price at the financial year-end. If the market for a financial asset is not active, the fair value is estimated using valuation techniques. These include a review of recent arm's length transactions, references to current fair market value of another instrument that is substantially the same as that being valued and discounted cash flow analysis. Where discounted cash flow analysis is used, estimated future cash flows are based on management's estimates and the discount rate is a market-related rate at the financial year-end for a financial asset with similar terms and conditions. Where other pricing models are used, inputs are based on observable market indicators at the financial year-end. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Loan and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses which are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. In the case of short-term trade receivables and payables, the impact of discounting is not material and cost approximates amortised cost. The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They include current assets with maturities or terms greater than 12 months after the reporting dates which are classified as non-current assets. Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investments have been affected. Objective evidence of impairment could include: - significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or - breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or - it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets, with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of a provision account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectable, it is written off against the provision account. Changes in the carrying amount of the provision account are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period. For financial assets measured at amortised cost if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through the statement of comprehensive income to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. Financial liabilities and equity Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement. Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all its liabilities. Ordinary shares are classed as equity. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Financial liabilities The Group's financial liabilities comprise interest-bearing borrowings, loans and payables and trade payables. Recognition and derecognition Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises financial liabilities when the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. Derivatives Interest rate swaps have been initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently remeasured at fair value in accordance with IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. They have been entered into in order to hedge against the exposure to variable interest rate loans as described in note 26. They have been valued by an Independent valuer in line with internationally accepted practice. A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial asset whereas a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised as a financial liability. A derivative is presented as a non-current asset or non-current liability if the remaining maturity of the instrument is more than 12 months and it is not expected to be realised or settled within 12 months. Other derivatives are presented as current assets or current liabilities. Trade and other receivables These are valued at their nominal value (less accumulated impairment losses) as the time value of money is immaterial for these current assets. Impairment losses are estimated at the year-end by reviewing amounts outstanding and assessing the likelihood of recoverability. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are valued at their nominal value as the time value of money is immaterial for these current liabilities. Provisions A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the obligation can be reliably measured. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and where appropriate, the risks specific to the obligation. Dividends Dividends to the Group's ordinary shareholders are recognised when they are declared. This is when they are approved by the board. Earnings/(loss) per share Earnings per share is calculated on the weighted average number of shares in issue in respect of the current period and is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders. Share-based payments Share options were granted to key management as part of the acquisition of the management companies in October 2014, and subsequently under the Deferred Share Bonus Plan. The cost of equity settled transactions is measured with reference to the fair value at the date at which they were granted. The Group accounts for the fair value of these options at grant date over the vesting period in the income statement, with a corresponding increase to the share-based payment reserve, included as part of the equity reserve in the statement of financial position. The fair value of the options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, which takes into account the exercise price of the option, the current share price, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the Group's share price over the life of the option and other relevant factors. Readers are referred to note 14 share-based payments, where key assumptions are further disclosed. Full IFRS 2: Share-based payments disclosure is not required as management considers the impact to be immaterial . The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. 4.Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty Judgements and estimates The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. Although the estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below. Business combinations In accounting for the Stenham Transaction (being the acquisition of the property companies and management companies detailed in note 27), the directors have been required to make a number of key judgements, namely the acquisition date for the transaction, whether to account for the transaction as separate individual transactions or as one transaction, the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, and the fair value of actual and deferred consideration. Investment properties The Group's investment properties are stated at estimated fair value, determined by directors, based on independent external appraisals. The valuation of the Group's property portfolio is inherently subjective due to a number of factors including the individual nature of each property, its location and the expectation of future rentals. As a result, the valuations placed on the property portfolio are subject to a degree of uncertainty and are made on the basis of assumptions that may not prove to be accurate particularly in years of volatility or low transaction flow in the market. The estimated market value may differ from the price at which the Group's assets could be sold at a particular time, since actual selling prices are negotiated between willing buyers and sellers. As a result, if the assumptions prove to be false, actual results of operations and realisation of net assets could differ from the estimates set forth in these financial statements, and the difference could be significant. In the UK, the Group's valuers, JLL have noted that the uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the UK's membership of the EU is impacting some occupier and investment decisions. While these influences are expected to lift if there is a decision to remain in the EU, if the decision is to exit, the current uncertainty may continue which could lead to reduced investment volumes and liquidity. Associates The Group holds an investment in Stenham European Shopping Centre Fund Limited ('SESCF'). In January 2016, external property agents were appointed to market the sole asset owned by SESCF, known as Nova Eventis, for sale. The current lenders have agreed to extend the loan, which matures on 24 July 2016 for a period of six months to 24 January 2017 on terms which are substantially the same as the current terms. Should a decision be taken not to sell the property for any reason, the directors of SESCF anticipate that, given the quality of the property, relationship with German lenders and the existing level of gearing, a refinancing on favourable terms can be secured. As such, the consolidated accounts of SESCF show the investment property as held for sale and its accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. Stenprop Limited has therefore deemed it appropriate to continue to disclose the investment in associate relating to SESCF as a non-current asset. Readers are referred to the commentary (page 6) and the going concern paragraph in note 1 where this is discussed in further detail. Hedge accounting As at 31 March 2015, the Group designated certain derivative hedging instruments as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges were recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion was recognised immediately in profit or loss. On 30 September 2015, the Group discontinued hedge accounting for all interest rate swaps and as such any gain or loss is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. The decision was taken in order to reduce the costs associated with the initial and ongoing assessment of hedge effectiveness as well as to simplify financial derivative reporting requirements. Whilst this is not strictly in accordance with IFRS, the directors do not consider departure to be material. At the time of this designation, the loss accumulated in equity of EUR519,000 was immediately recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities Tax liabilities are recognised when it is considered probable that there will be a future outflow of funds to a taxing authority. In such cases, provision is made for the amount that is expected to be settled, where this can be reasonably estimated. This requires the application of judgement as to the ultimate outcome, which can change over time depending on facts and circumstances. A change in estimate of the likelihood of a future outflow and/or in the expected amount to be settled would be recognised in income in the period in which the change occurs. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent it is considered probable that those assets will be recoverable. This involves an assessment of when those assets are likely to reverse, and a judgement as to whether or not there will be sufficient taxable profits available to offset the assets when they do reverse. This requires assumptions regarding future profitability and is therefore inherently uncertain. To the extent assumptions regarding future profitability change, there can be an increase or decrease in the amounts recognised in respect of deferred tax assets as well as in the amounts recognised in income in the period in which the change occurs. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented in note 29. 5.Operating segments The Group is focused on real estate investment in well-developed, large economies with established real estate markets.

Awards are recommended by the remuneration committee and are subject to board approval. The incentive plans are discussed in more detail below: Deferred share bonus plan The board may grant an award to an eligible employee following a recommendation from the remuneration committee over such number of shares that have an aggregate value equal to the deferred bonus. Such share options vest in three equal tranches. The first tranche vests on the date of grant with subsequent tranches vesting at the first and second anniversaries of the relevant year-end. Share options may be exercised until the tenth anniversary of the grant date, after which time they will lapse. The below table summarises the position at year end in terms of the number of share options granted and exercised in the period. All share options were granted at nil cost.

Share purchase plan loans advanced (including accrued interest) (EUR'000) 7,403 ? Other share options At the time of the Stenham Transaction, 2 October 2014, the Company committed to issue 291,564 ordinary shares at a strike price of EUR1.37 to two directors, the value of which was EUR400,000 at the time. These share options vest over a two year period on 30 September 2015 and 30 September 2016, subject to the directors still being in the employ of the Group at vesting date. At the year end, half of the options had vested and none had been exercised. Although this represents a share-based payment under IFRS 2: Share-based payments, this has been treated as a cost of the shares issued as part of the Stenprop Transaction and has been classified as a liability. This treatment is not consistent with the Group's policy to recognise the fair value of share-based payments in a share-based payment reserve over the vesting period; however, the directors consider the impact of the difference in treatment to be immaterial.

Their recommended reporting standards are widely applied across this market, aiming to bring consistency and transparency to the sector. The EPRA earnings measure is intended to show the level of recurring earnings from core operational activities with the purpose of highlighting the Group's underlying operating results from its property rental business and an indication of the extent to which current dividend payments are supported by earnings. The measure excludes unrealised changes in the value of investment properties, gains or losses on the disposal of properties and other items that do not provide an accurate picture of the Group's underlying operational performance. The measure is considered to accurately capture the long-term strategy of the Group, and is an indication of the sustainability of dividend payments. Straight-line unwind of purchase swaps A further adjustment was made to the EPRA earnings attributable to shareholders relating to the straight-line unwind of the value as at 1 April 2014 of the swap contracts in the property companies acquired. When the property companies were acquired by Stenprop with effect from 1 April 2014, it also acquired the bank loans and swap contracts which were in place within these property companies. As a result, Stenprop took over loans with higher swap interest rates than would have been the case had new loans and swaps been put in place at 1 April 2014. To compensate for this, the value of the swap breaks costs was calculated at 1 April 2014 and the purchase consideration for the property companies was reduced accordingly to reflect this liability.

The carrying amount of an investment property is the fair value of the property as determined by registered independent appraisers having an appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued (valuers). The fair value of each of the properties for the year ended 31 March 2016 was assessed by the valuers in accordance with the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors ('RICS') standards and IFRS 13. Valuers are qualified for purposes of providing valuations in accordance with the 'Appraisal and Valuation Manual' published by RICS. The valuations performed by the independent valuers are reviewed internally by senior management. This includes discussions of the assumptions used by the external valuers, as well as a review of the resulting valuations. Discussions of the valuation process and results are held between the senior management and the external valuers on a bi-annual basis. The Audit Committee reviews the valuation results and, provided the committee is satisfied with the results, recommends them to the board for approval. The valuation techniques used are consistent with IFRS13 and use significant "unobservable" inputs. There have been no changes in valuation techniques since the prior year. There are interrelationships between all these unobservable inputs as they are determined by market conditions. An increase in more than one unobservable input would magnify the impact on the valuation. The impact on the valuation would be mitigated by the interrelationship of two unobservable inputs moving in the opposite directions e.g. an increase in rent may be offset by an increase in yield, resulting in no net impact on the valuation. Expected vacancy rates may impact the yield with higher vacancy rates resulting in higher yield. All revenue is derived from the underlying tenancies given on the investment properties. All investment properties are mortgaged. Details of which can be seen in note 25. The key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the Group's investment properties at 31 March 2016 are detailed in the table below: Combined portfolio (including share of jointly controlled entities) Percentage of Market Annualised Net initial portfolio value gross yield by market 31 March rental (weighted Voids by value 2016 Area income average) area (%) (EUR million) Properties m(2) (EUR million) (%) (%) United Kingdom 36.1 321.5 13 63,506 19.0 5.32 1.8 Germany 28.3 252.6 23 92,041 14.5 5.18 2.8 Switzerland 17.5 155.7 13 48,799 8.5 4.51 17.3 Subtotal 81.9 729.8 49 204,346 42.0 5.10 5.9 Share of joint ventures and associates 18.1 161.2 6 49,727 10.8 5.65 2.0 Total 100.0 891.0 55 254,073 52.8 5.20 5.2 Audited 31 March 31 March 2016 2015 EUR'000 EUR'000 Opening balance 695,196 33,281 Properties acquired through the acquisition of subsidiaries ? 661,151 Properties acquired 48,206 ?

RAHHL owns the property known as 25 Argyll Street. The acquisition cost of this interest was GBP18.9 million which was based on a valuation of the property of GBP75 million. RAHHL refinanced the property with an interest-only bank loan of GBP37.5 million at an all-in rate of 2.974% per annum, with a term of five years. Prior period acquisitions On 1 October 2014 Stenprop completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares and shareholder loans in Bernina Property Holdings Limited ("Bernina"). Bernina in turn owns 50% of the issued share capital and 100% of the shareholder loans of Elysion S.A., a company incorporated in Luxembourg which is the beneficial owner of the Care Home portfolio. The remaining 50% of Elysion S.A. is owned by a joint venture partner who manages the portfolio. The acquired shareholder loans have attracted, and continue to attract, a 10% compound interest rate since inception in 2007. The outstanding shareholder loan which is wholly owned by Stenprop has been valued at the recoverable balance which is deemed equal to the net assets of the joint venture excluding the shareholder loan.

On 20 January 2016, the Group disposed of one of the eight properties owned by GGP1 Limited known as Leigh, UK , for GBP5.365 million. The proceeds of the sale were utilised to part pay down the outstanding Santander facility of GBP10.4 million by GBP2.04 million. 2. On 26 May 2016, Davemount Properties Limited ("Davemount") and GGP1 Limited ("GGP1") refinanced their loan facilities with Santander. Santander have provided a single facility with a 5 year term of GBP12,360,000 split GBP4,000,000 to Davemount and GBP8,360,000 to GGP1. The all-in rate on this facility is 3.46% (including a swap of 1.21%), which compares to 2.7% on the current Davemount facility and 3.72% on the GGP1 facility. 3. On 8 May 2015, Laxton Properties Limited refinanced the property known as Euston House on favourable terms with a five year loan to May 2020. The new facility of GBP27,540,000 is interest only. A five year interest rate swap agreement was entered into to fix the interest rate at an all-in rate of 3.02% per annum (previous facility: 4.54%). The Group incurred costs of GBP413,000 to break the former swap agreement. 4. On 29 May 2015, Normanton Properties Limited extended the existing bank loan (which was due to expire in March 2016), on the property known as Pilgrim Street on favourable terms until March 2019. With effect from signature, the loan became interest-only. An interest rate swap agreement was entered into to fix the interest rate for the period from the prior termination date, being 23 March 2016, until the new termination date, at an all-in rate of 2.9% per annum. The previous all-in rate on the loan was 4.96%. 5. On 24 August 2015, Stenprop Hermann Limited entered into a facility agreement to borrow EUR11,050,000. An interest rate of EURIBOR plus a margin of 1.13% was agreed and the interest-only loan is repayable in full on 30 June 2020. 6. On 24 November 2015, Stenprop Victoria Limited entered into a facility agreement to borrow EUR10,300,000. An interest rate of EURIBOR plus a margin of 1.28% was agreed and the interest-only loan is repayable in full on 31 August 2020. 26. Derivative financial instruments In accordance with the terms of the borrowing arrangements and group policy, the Group has entered into interest rate swap agreements. The Interest rate swap agreements are entered into by the borrowing entities to convert the borrowings from floating to fixed interest rates and are used to manage the interest rate profile of financial liabilities and eliminate future exposure to interest rate fluctuations. It is the Group's policy that no economic trading in derivatives is undertaken. The Group recognised a total net loss from fair value of financial instruments of EUR999,000 in the current year (2015: EUR589,000).

The total purchase consideration for the acquisition of the property companies was calculated with reference to the net asset value of the property companies as at 31 March 2014 and amounted to EUR281.0 million. The purchase consideration for the Stenham Property management business was EUR15.6 million and the purchase consideration for Apex Hi (UK) Limited was EUR3.8 million. The purchase consideration for the cash holding subsidiaries was EUR18.4 million. The purchase consideration for the acquisitions was funded by the issue of 232,916,809 new Stenprop ordinary shares to the value of EUR318,791,000 on the Bermudian share register at an issue price of EUR1.37 per share, which was the Euro equivalent of the net asset value per share of Stenprop as at 31 March 2014. Deferred consideration which remains outstanding at year end, and which relates to the acquisition of the Stenham property management business is estimated to be EUR936,000 and relates to the vendor's right to receive a share of pre- existing exit and performance fees on certain assets managed by the acquired business on behalf of third parties.

Stenprop (UK) Limited, Stenprop (Swiss) Limited and Stenprop (Germany) Limited were incorporated during the period to hold the acquired assets (note 28). Notional goodwill of EUR19,374,000 arose as a result of the acquisition of the Stenham Property Holdings Limited group and ApexHi (UK) Limited (the management companies). The acquisition of the management companies was contingent on the completion of the purchase of the property companies and was therefore considered a linked transaction in terms of IFRS 3: Business combinations. From a group perspective, the fair value of the combined identifiable net assets on acquisition date exceeded the summation of the consideration paid. A net gain on acquisition arose on acquisition date from the internalisation of management and the uplift in the value of the various property companies in the six-month period between the effective date of the sale (on which the assets were fair valued for purposes of the transaction), and the acquisition date, No goodwill is therefore recognised in the Group accounts. Intangible assets Management have measured the fair value of all assets and liabilities acquired as at the date of acquisition, including any assets or liabilities which may not have been recognised in the underlying company balance sheets. The value of any intangible assets acquired as at the date of the transaction is considered immaterial and has not been recognised. 28.

The overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise the potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. Certain risk exposures are hedged via the use of financial derivatives. This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing these risks, and the Group's management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these audited financial statements where relevant. The Group's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The Board has established a Risk Committee to develop and monitor the Group's risk management policies. The Risk Committee participates in management's process of formulating and implementing the risk management plan and reports on the plan adopted by management to the board. The objective of risk management is to identify, assess, manage and monitor the risks to which the business is exposed, including, but not limited to, information technology risk. The board will is responsible for ensuring the adoption of appropriate risk management policies by management. 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 limits. Risk management policies are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Board will also ensure that there are processes in place between itself and management enabling complete, timely, relevant, accurate and accessible risk disclosure to shareholders. To enable the Risk Committee to meet its responsibilities, the Risk Committee has adopted a charter which includes appropriate standards and the implementation of systems of internal control and an effective risk-based internal audit, comprising policies, procedures, systems and information to assist in: - safeguarding assets and reducing the risk of loss, error, fraud and other irregularities; - ensuring the accuracy and completeness of accounting records and reporting; - preparing timely, reliable financial statements and information in compliance with relevant legislation and generally accepted accounting policies and practices; and - increasing the probability of anticipating unpredictable risk. The 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 risks faced by the Group. Credit risk The Group's principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The credit risk arising from deposits with banks is managed through a policy of utilising banks with acceptable credit ratings. The credit quality of cash and cash equivalents can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings of the counterparty where the account or deposit is placed. A summary of the Standard & Poors European financial institutions credit ratings for the six banks in which 78% of the Group's cash is held are as follows: 31 March 31 March 2016 2015 ABN AMRO Bank NV A A Barclays Private Clients International Limited A- A Berliner Sparkasse AA- AA HSBC Bank plc. AA- AA- Santander UK plc. A A UBS AG A A The directors are satisfied as to the credit worthiness of the banks where the remaining cash is held. At the time of acquisition of a property, and from time to time thereafter, the Company reviews the quality of the contracted tenants to ensure that the tenants meet acceptable covenants. Trade receivables are presented in the statement of financial position net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an indefinable loss event, which based on previous experience, may give risk to non recovery of a receivable. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure at the reporting date. At 31 March 2016, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR43,178,000 (March 2015: EUR88,494,000) as shown in the statement of financial position. Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash resources, the availability of funding through appropriate and adequate credit lines and managing the ability of tenants to settle within lease obligations. The Group ensures, through the forecasting and budgeting of cash requirements, that adequate committed resources are available. By its nature, the market for investment property is not immediately liquid. As a result of this illiquidity, the Group's ability to vary its portfolio in a timely fashion and to receive a fair price in response to changes in economic and other conditions may be limited. Furthermore, where the Group acquires investment properties for which there is not a readily available market, the Group's ability to deal in any such investment or obtain reliable information about the value of such investment or risks to which such property investment is exposed may be limited. The Group's short-term liquidity risk is secured by the existence of cash balances, through the fact that rental income exceeds the Group's cost structures and through ensuring that facilities are managed within debt covenants. The following table details the contractual maturity date of the Group's financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual maturities of the financial liabilities, including interest that will accrue to those liabilities, except where the Group is entitled and intends to repay the liability before its maturity. The discount column represents the possible future cash flows included in the maturity analysis, such as future interest or potential payments that have not been included in the carrying amount of the financial liability. The table also includes a reconciliation to the carrying value in the statement of financial position.

Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising returns to shareholders. Investment in property is subject to varying degrees of risk. The main factors which affect the value of the investment in property include: - changes in the general economic climate; - local conditions in respective markets, such as oversupply, or a reduction in demand, for commercial space in a specific area; - competition from other available properties; and - government regulations, including planning, environmental and tax laws. Whilst a large number of these factors are outside the control of the management, market and property-specific factors relevant to maintain a sustainable income stream within the Group's yield parameters are considered as part of the initial due diligence. Properties and tenant leases are actively managed. Foreign currency risk The Group's functional currency is Euros. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency or exchange rates. At the reporting date, the below table summarises the Group's exposure to foreign currency risk in respect of assets and liabilites held in GBP (United Kingdom) and CHF (Switzerland). 31 March 31 March 2016 2015 EUR'000 EUR'000 Assets GBP 371,938 367,995 CHF 160,313 172,725 Liabilities GBP 149,120 159,369 CHF 94,894 104,905 Foreign currency sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis measures the impact on the Group's exposure in Euros (based on a change in the reporting date spot rate) and the impact on the Group's Euro profitability, given a simultaneous change in the foreign currencies to which the Group is exposed at the reporting date. A 10% strengthening in the Euro exchange rate against the following currencies at year end would have decreased equity and profits by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. For a 10% weakening of the Euro, there would be an equal but opposite impact on the profit and equity and the balance would be positive. Profit Equity or loss EUR'000 EUR'000 GBP impact (22,282) (2,988) CHF impact (6,542) (51) (28,824) (3,039) The following exchange rates against the Euro were applied during the year: Average rate for 12 months to Period end 31 March 31 March 2016 2016 CHF 0.931954 0.914700 GBP 1.365830 1.265300 Interest rate risk The Group's interest rate risk is associated with cash and cash equivalents, on the one hand, and interest-bearing borrowings, on the other. If the interest is variable, it presents the Group with a cash flow interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As stated in note 26, borrowings from credit institutions are protected against movements in interest rates. The company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate exposure. Fair value hierarchy The table below analyses the Group's financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows: Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Significant transfers between Level, 1 Level 2 and Level 3 There have been no significant transfers during the period under review. Unobservable inputs Unobservable inputs for Level 3 investment properties are disclosed in note 17. Capital risk management The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 25, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in the statement of changes in equity. Stenprop's average loan to value ratio ("LTV") ratio at 31 March 2016 was 51.6% (2015: 53.8%), including joint ventures and associates and the Group is not subject to any external capital requirements. The Group strategy is to maintain a debt to equity ratio and LTV to ensure that property performance is translated into an enhanced return for shareholders whilst at the same time ensuring that it will be able to continue as a going concern through changing market conditions. The directors are of the opinion that a 50% LTV in respect of secured external borrowings is an appropriate target for the Group, given current market conditions. 31.Related party transactions Parties are considered related if one party has control, joint control or significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. P Arenson and M Fienberg, both directors of the Company, are also directors of Stenham Limited which at 31 March 2016 had an indirect beneficial interest of 4.91% in Stenprop Limited through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stenham Group Limited (March 2015: 5.1%). At 31 March 2016, P Arenson held an indirect 2.58% interest in the share capital of Stenham Limited (March 2015: 4.49%). His interest in Stenprop Limited is separately disclosed in note 8. M Yachad is a non-executive director of the Company and an executive director of Peregrine Holdings Limited, which has a beneficial interest (direct and indirect) of 6.41% in the shares of the Company at 31 March 2016. On 20 May 2015, the Group acquired a 50% interest in Regent Arcade House Holdings Limited ("RAHHL"), which owns the property known as 25 Argyll Street. SP Corporate Services Limited, the director of RAHHL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, as are Stenprop Management Limited and Stenprop Advisors Limited which act as Property Manager and Administrator respectively to RAHHL. The Group earns fees of EUR181,000 per annum for these services. 32.Operating lease commitments The Group earns rental income by leasing its investment properties to tenants under non-cancellable operating leases. At the balance sheet date the Group had contracted with tenants for the following future minimum lease payments on its investment properties: Audited 31 March 31 March 2016 2015 EUR'000 EUR'000 Within one year 40,673 41,440 Between one and two years 38,922 39,479 Between two and five years 97,993 105,129 After five years 86,690 98,840 264,278 284,888 33.

Interest is payable six monthly in arrear. Loans are repayable within 30 days of cessation of employment (unless the participant ceases employment in circumstances beyond his or her control, in which case the loan is repayable within 12 months), and must in all circumstances be repaid in 10 years. All dividends received by such employees (or his or her nominee) by virtue of their shareholding, must first be utilised to discharge any interest outstanding in terms of the loan advanced in terms of the Share Purchase Plan. (iii) Refinance of Davemount and GGP1 portfolios On 26 May 2016, Davemount Properties Limited ("Davemount") and GGP1 Limited ("GGP1") refinanced their loan facilities with Santander. Santander have provided a single facility of GBP12,360,000 for a five year period, split GBP4,000,000 to Davemount and GBP8,360,000 to GGP1. The all-in rate on this facility is 3.46% which compares to 2.7% on the current Davemount facility and 3.72% on the GGP1 facility. (iv) Lease signed at Euston House In May 2016, a new six year lease was signed at Euston House for 11,787 square feet, representing one floor and 11% of the space. The new tenant will pay an annual rent of just under GBP0.7 million equating to GBP58.50 per square foot per annum from August 2017 onwards. Prior to that the tenant will pay half rent of GBP0.345 million per annum. The previous tenant paid GBP27.50 per square foot per annum on unrefurbished space. Stenprop spent approximately GBP1.4 million on the refurbishment of the space. The building is now fully let.
