ABRIDGED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 MAY 2018
DIRECTORS' COMMENTARY
Atlantic Leaf presents its results for the three months ended 31 May 2018.
QUARTERLY RESULTS
The adjusted headline earnings per share for the quarter of 2.37 GBP pence per share (2017: 2.31 GBP pence per share) is in
line with management's forecast.
During the quarter, as previously reported, the Company completed the acquisition of a multi—let industrial and office property
known as Deacon Park in Knowsley, United Kingdom ("UK"). The Deacon park property acquired in March 2018 is our first
property that is multi—tenanted and Atlantic Leaf pays all utilities on this property. These expenses have been included in
property operating expenses. Atlantic Leaf recovers these costs from the tenants and this income has been included as tenant
recoveries. This acquisition brings the total assets under management to GBP 383 million (including our proportional share of
the London Metric Joint Venture).
Certain debt facilities are due to mature within the next 12 months and as such have been disclosed as current liabilities.
Management is at an advanced stage of refinancing these facilities and is confident that all debt due to mature within the next
12 months will be refinanced. It is expected that once this has been completed, the weighted average maturity of all Company
debt will be approximately four years. Our current gearing at 48% loan to value ("LTV") remains within our target range of
approximately 50% and the average cost of debt remains at 3.3%.
DIVIDENDS PAID
On 14 May 2018 the Company paid the final dividend of 4.6 GBP pence per share for the year ended 28 February 2018, and
the total distribution for the 2018 financial year was 9.1 GBP pence per share.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Company held its Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 25 June 2018. All resolutions were passed including the
resolution to allow Atlantic Leaf to convert to a UK Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"). The Company is now in the process
of applying for UK REIT status and we anticipate obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals within the next few months.
COMPANY OUTLOOK
The UK property environment remains active and the Company's management team continues to explore new opportunities.
We have a solid base of assets which underpin our income and our debt is well hedged against any adverse moves in interest
rates.
