Residential Secure Income plc
("ReSI plc" or the "Company")
Interim Results to 31 March 2023
Residential Secure Income plc (ReSI plc) (LSE: RESI), which
invests in independent retirement living and shared ownership to
deliver secure, inflation-linked returns, is pleased to announce
its interim results for the six months ending 31 March 2023.
Commenting on ReSI plc's results, Robert Whiteman CBE, Chairman
of ReSI plc said:
"ReSI remains well-placed, to meet continued enormous demand for
affordable housing, enabling sustainable and growing, risk-adjusted
returns over the long term.
We have continued to support residents, balancing rent increases
and returns in a way which is sustainable for both residents and
shareholders. This focus has been rewarded with 99% rent collection
from 2,613 counterparties and resilient high-occupancy levels.
These factors drive our secure income stream which has remained
unaffected despite the impact of the macroeconomic environment on
property valuations.
We are considering selective disposal of certain non-core
assets, to reduce floating rate debt levels, and will then revisit
the appropriate level for a fully covered and progressive
dividend."
Ben Fry, Managing Director of Housing at Gresham House
added:
"Our aim remains to deliver defensive long income for investors
and meaningful social impact by providing high-quality, secure
homes for our residents - and the fundamentals for this portfolio
remain robust, with customer demand incredibly strong, given the
economic circumstances."

Chairman's Statement
Rob Whiteman CBE
Chairman
"ReSI remains well-placed, to meet continued enormous demand for
affordable housing, enabling sustainable and growing, risk-adjusted
returns over the long term.
We have continued to support residents, balancing rent increases
and returns in a way which is sustainable for both residents and
shareholders. This focus has been rewarded with 99% rent collection
from 2,613 counterparties and resilient high-occupancy levels.
These factors drive our secure income stream which has remained
unaffected despite the impact of the macroeconomic environment on
property valuations.
We are considering selective disposal of certain non-core
assets, to reduce floating rate debt levels, and will then revisit
the appropriate level of a fully covered and progressive
dividend."
ReSI's portfolio is handpicked to provide high-quality
affordable accommodation for vastly undersupplied markets and by
doing so to deliver defensive long-term income for investors and
meaningful social impact. Our customer demand continues to be
incredibly strong, whether providing affordable homeownership for
young families and key workers through shared ownership or
providing fit-for-purpose homes for independent living in
retirement.
ReSI has delivered strong like-for-like rent reviews with growth
of 6.2% whilst maintaining retirement occupancy at 94% and
virtually fully occupying our shared ownership portfolio. Rent
collection continues to exceed 99%, underpinned by direct leases
with a highly diversified resident base comprising 2,613
counterparties, affordable rents, and shared ownership equity
stakes averaging c.37%. Given the sharp and significant spike in
inflation and interest rates, we have continued to balance rent
increases with shareholder returns, in a way which is sustainable
both for our residents and for our shareholders. We have aimed to
support residents through a difficult period where pay increases
may have lagged spiking inflation, which has in turn supported
occupancy and rent collection levels.
Nevertheless, ReSI is not immune to the continuing wider
economic challenges. Specifically, higher energy bills to heat and
light communal areas have contributed to a 13% operating cost
increase in our retirement housing portfolio, keeping retirement
net income flat year on year. Together with increased interest
expenses on the 10% of our debt which is floating rate, and
increased overheads, Adjusted Earnings have reduced by 3%.
As a result, dividend cover declined to 86% after re-achieving
full coverage in Q4 2022, which justifies the Board's decision to
keep the dividend per share flat in order to absorb extraordinary
cost increases.
As with all long-term income assets, our investment valuations
have been impacted by rising gilt yields, but our strong rental
growth has partially mitigated this with a 7.2% like-for-like
decline to GBP355mn, taking EPRA NTA to 89.0p per share down from
106.1p at 31 September 2022. Market transactional evidence suggests
that downward pressure on valuations is starting to ease, however,
valuations naturally remain sensitive to movements in gilt yields
which have moved out further post period end.
ReSI is now the custodian of homes for 3,298 households, and we
will continue to balance returns with affordability for our
residents. Our retirement portfolio leases are contractually capped
at 6.0%. We have voluntarily capped our inflation-linked rent
increases in shared ownership to 7.0%, as opposed to the
contractual RPI+0.5%. Furthermore, ReSI continues to invest to
improve our homes' energy efficiency helping to keep residents'
energy bills affordable.
Market outlook
Despite recent operational challenges and macroeconomic
headwinds, the fundamentals underpinning ReSI's business model, and
our longer-term outlook, remain positive.
The UK's structural housing shortfall continues and most of the
population lives in areas where home purchase is unaffordable for
average earners, with an estimated need for GBP34bn [1] of annual
investment over the next decade to begin addressing the shortfall.
Persistent inflation, rising mortgage rates and the consistent
demand for a permanent home have increased demand for shared
ownership as the most affordable homeownership option (particularly
in light of the Help to Buy programme's end in March 2023). The UK
population demographic is rapidly aging and social isolation can
have a material impact on the health of the elderly, driving demand
for independent retirement accommodation.
Housing associations, who have historically been the primary
investors in affordable housing, are now dealing with rent caps on
their social and affordable rent portfolios in addition to
allocating c.GBP10bn for fire safety and c.GBP25bn to upgrade the
energy efficiency of their social rented stock by 2030. These
financial pressures impact their ability to continue to fund their
43,000 homes per year development programmes, with many now looking
to bring in partners to acquire some of their existing 200,000
shared ownership homes. This is continuing to drive demand and
opportunity for further long-term investment into the sector - both
to fund new homes and acquire existing shared ownership portfolios
providing capital to housing associations to invest back into their
social rented stock.
Financial outlook
As the owner of a for-profit registered provider and as the UK's
largest provider of private independent retirement rental homes,
and with an experienced and capable fund management team, the Board
believes that ReSI remains well positioned to deliver affordable
housing to residents and deliver long-term, inflation-linked
returns to investors.
It has been a stated objective of the ReSI Board to grow the
Company, however, the public capital markets have changed
substantially in a short amount of time, and while the Company's
share price has performed better than many of its listed peers, we
recognise that ReSI's shares are currently trading at a significant
discount to net asset value.
This is particularly disappointing given the scale of investment
opportunities now available, particularly in shared ownership,
given the work by the Fund Manager to create this market, and the
ability for these to enhance returns to shareholders over the
medium term. The Board has considered undertaking further share
buy-backs but given current cash levels, does not consider it in
shareholders' best interests to increase leverage to support
buy-backs.
Instead, the Fund Manager is exploring the sale of non-core
assets. This would enable repayment of floating rate debt and leave
ReSI with only its long-term debt that has a weighted average
maturity of 21 years. While assets sales would reduce ReSI's
adjusted earnings, we expect they will increase sustainability of
income given the removal of exposure to interest rate moves.
The Board continues to seek to pay a progressive dividend which
is more than covered. To ensure that ReSI can continue to grow
sustainably despite the current economic conditions, the Board will
revisit the appropriate level of dividend following any asset
sales, and in the light of the then prevailing economic and market
conditions. ReSI remains well-placed, to meet continued enormous
demand for affordable housing, enabling sustainable and growing,
risk-adjusted returns over the long term.
As always, the Board is grateful for the support of
shareholders, including their 99% support at our continuation vote
in January 2023.

Fund Manager's Report
Ben Fry
Managing Director Housing
"Our aim remains to deliver defensive long-term income for
investors and meaningful social impact by providing high-quality,
secure homes for our residents - and the fundamentals for this
portfolio remain robust, with customer demand incredibly strong,
given the economic circumstances."
The first six months of FY23 have seen a continuation of the
challenging macroeconomic environment driven by a sharp and severe
increase in inflation, repeated interest rate increases and the
consequential impact on the cost of living. We have sought to
insulate both shareholders and residents from this environment by
balancing inflation-linked rent increases with support for those
residents with difficulties affording rent or mortgage bills.
There have been two consequences of significantly higher
inflation and interest rates for ReSI. While we have delivered
strong like-for-like rent review growth, very high occupancy and
collection levels, we have also experienced higher energy bills on
communal areas within our retirement portfolio. Secondly, higher
interest rates have impacted both our debt costs, and the gilt
yields which form a key component of valuations.
Our rent review growth has been strong at 6.2%, including 7%
rent increases on the shared ownership portfolio effective from 1
April 2023. 45% of the portfolio experienced rent reviews in the
first half, driving 2.9% like-for-like rental growth in the period.
This rent growth reflects the underlying strong demand for our
affordable homes and our decision to cap inflation-linked rental
increases in order to protect affordability for our residents when
their incomes are under pressures not seen in recent decades.
This rental growth, combined with the full impact of previous
shared ownership acquisitions, helped ReSI increase net rental
income by 8% to GBP8.3mn, despite managing 13% higher costs in our
retirement portfolio, driven by increased energy costs in the
communal areas, that kept retirement net income flat.
Adjusted EPRA earnings, before valuations, reduced by 3% to
GBP4.1mn with net rental income growth offset by increased interest
expenses on our GBP21mn floating rate debt (10% of total debt), as
well as higher professional, legal and audit fees.
As with many other REITs and investment companies, the increase
in gilt yields has directly impacted our portfolio valuations,
which are down 7.2% like-for-like for the half year to March 2023.
This valuation reduction has driven a total EPRA return of (13.7%)
taking EPRA NTA to 89.0p per share. While valuations naturally
remain sensitive to moves in gilt yields, as at period end we see
downward pressure on valuations starting to ease, with inflationary
pressures which are hopefully nearing their peak, even if they
remain stubborn.
These valuation headwinds have increased the LTV of the Company
to 52%. While this is broadly in line with the Company's 50%
medium-term target, it includes GBP21mn of floating rate debt that
is no longer as accretive to the Company's returns and is not in
line with our strategy to derisk the balance sheet through long
term amortising debt. This debt was originally put in place to
provide flexibility to the Company ahead of an intended fundraise,
which is no longer possible due to market conditions which have the
Company continuing to trade at a significant discount to its Net
Asset Value. Our proposed sale of certain non-core assets, as
referred to in the Chairman's statement, will allow ReSI to
de-leverage its more expensive floating rate debt, leaving a strong
balance sheet reinforced only by ultra-long debt with an average
maturity of 21 years.
These sales will reduce Adjusted Earnings but should reduce
volatility and increase the sustainability of our income through
the removal of exposure to interest rate moves. Following any asset
sales, we will work with the Board to rebase the dividend,
targeting a higher level of dividend cover to support a progressive
dividend that grows sustainably in line with ReSI's underlying
inflation-linked rents.
Rising inflation and the cost-of-living crisis continue to
impact the life of our residents, but they are relatively protected
compared to their peers. The shared ownership model helps partially
insulate residents from cost-of-living pressures: rents are rising
less than mortgage costs; mortgage rates remain well below our
portfolio stress-test levels, and our shared owners have only 37%
of the exposure to mortgage rate increases compared to
full-ownership mortgages. Our retirement residents typically fund
rent payments with income from an inflation-linked pension, and
benefit from tailored accommodation that helps to address
loneliness. Across the whole portfolio our continued efforts to
improve our homes' energy efficiency is helping to reduce our
residents' energy bills and we have capped rent increases in the
period to protect resident's affordability.
The quality of ReSI's operational business model, with
individual resident contractual relationships, very strong rent
collection of almost 100%, and very high levels of occupancy,
reflects our focus on the under-served markets of affordable
purpose-built retirement living and providing affordable
homeownership to young families and key workers. This continues to
give us confidence in our portfolio of 3,298 homes. We believe that
the shared ownership portfolio's investment thesis will continue to
prove out as rents uplift with direct inflation-linkage and de-risk
through residents staircasing and repaying mortgages over time.
Financial review
Total Return
EPRA NTA total return was a negative 14.5p per share (-13.7%)
for the half year, driven by a reduction in like-for-like
investment property values following increases in gilt yields.
This negative 14.5 pence per share EPRA return, comprises:
- 2.2p of Adjusted EPRA earnings (see note 11 - adjusted
earnings per share), with recurring income of GBP4.1mn; less
- 15.3p reduction in valuation on investment property as
assessed by Savills representing a 7.2% decrease on a like-for-like
fair value basis to a total of GBP355mn as at 31 March 2023. This
valuation decrease was primarily driven by a c.50 bps increase
(inclusive of 1 April 23 rent reviews in shared ownership) in the
weighted average valuation yield since September 2022; and
- 1.2p impact of USS debt indexation (GBP2.2mn), reflecting the
index linked nature of the debt which follows the increase in
shared ownership rent reviews up to a cap of 5.5%; less
- 0.2p one-off costs (c.GBP400k), attributable to aborting
fundraising in Autumn 2022, following the Company's share price
moving from a premium to substantial discount in NAV rendering
equity raising dilutive to shareholders.
The movement in the NTA position during the half year, from
106.1p to 89.0p per share, is after total dividend payments of 2.6p
per share (GBP4.8mn).

A total IFRS return of -16.2p per share (-14.9%) was delivered
for the half year. The difference to EPRA NTA returns reflects an
increase in the fair value of debt (IFRS) of 1.6p (GBP2.9mn) versus
the amortised cost value of debt (EPRA) caused by reducing credit
spreads in the period, partly offset by an increase in revaluation
of trading properties of 0.1p (GBP0.2mn). IFRS NAV decreased by
18.8p after dividends paid.

Statement of Comprehensive Income

income growth offset by increased interest expenses on our GBP21mn
floating rate debt (10% of total debt), as well as higher overheads
which are explained further below in the Fund Manager's Report.

Net Rental Income :
Net rental income before ground rents (NRI) grew by 8%
year-over-year to GBP8.8mn, driven by four underlying factors:
- flat income in retirement of GBP5.4mn with strong rental
reviews growth of 5.8% offset by 13% cost inflation;
- shared ownership rent growth of 5.5% to GBP1.8mn;
- full occupancy and annualised income of our like-for-like shared ownership portfolio; and
- shared ownership acquisitions from the investment of our
GBP15mn fundraise in February 2022 providing GBP0.4mn
These four factors were also underpinned by:
- consistent rent collection of over 99%.
H1 2022 Net Rent GBP8.1mn
Shared ownership - acquisitions GBP0.4mn
Shared ownership - leasing GBP0.1mn
Shared ownership - rent growth GBP0.1mn
Retirement - rent growth GBP0.3mn
Retirement - cost inflation -GBP0.3mn
H1 2023 Net Rent GBP8.8mn
1. Top-line retirement growth offset by cost pressure:
- Income growth delivered: GBP0m / 0% / 0.0 pence per share [2]
Retirement rental revenue grew 5.6% year-over-year to GBP10.1mn,
up from 3.4% in the prior year. This was driven by rental caps of
6% applied to the RPI linked rental increases, combined with ReSI
supporting residents in financial hardship with rental freezes or
reduced increases. We believe our decision to cap rental increases
is the right one, to both protect our residents and support the
long-term stability of our income. These moves generated an annual
saving for residents of c.GBP0.5mn / c.GBP690 per resident.
Revenue growth was offset by 13.1% year-over-year operating
expense growth to GBP4.6mn, which was primarily driven by 77%
increase to c.GBP0.53mn in the energy costs for common areas as
well as a 15% increase in property management fees as we
restructure the team. This resulted in flat net income over the
period.
Occupancy continues to improve to a record 94%, reflecting the
great customer service of ReSI's in-house property manager, ReSI
Property Management Limited (RPML).
Looking forwards, we are working closely with RPML across
several asset management initiatives, in order to boost income and
offset cost inflation including:
- restructuring the property management team to take advantage of technology;
- re-tendering repairs and maintenance contracts to increase
value-for-money on unit refurbishments;
- improving retirement re-letting timing to continue driving
occupancy growth, which involves improving start times on
refurbishment works for unit turnovers; and
- completing capital works and energy efficiency improvement projects
2. Strong and accelerating rent growth in shared ownership:
- Income growth delivered: GBP0.1mn / 5.5% / 0.1 pence per share [3]
Shared ownership rents increase annually on 1 April generally
with RPI + 0.5%, and grew by 5.5% like-for-like to GBP1.8mn
compared to the same period last year.
This year rents were due to increase by 12.4% on 1 April,
however we have capped this increase at 7% (by way of a rebate), in
line with wage growth and the inflation rate excluding the impact
of energy bills. This cap will help to protect affordability for
our residents when their incomes are under pressure like never
before. This decision is entirely in our control but matches the
cap that the government has applied to general needs social housing
properties. The impact of this 7% rent increase will be reflected
in our income over 12 months from 1 April.
3. Full occupancy and annualised impact of our shared ownership
portfolio:
- Income growth delivered: GBP0.1mn / 0.1 pence per share[4]
Demand for ReSI's shared ownership properties remains robust,
reflecting its position as the most affordable form of
homeownership. ReSI benefited from full-period income from Clapham
Park and Auckland Rise units that leased during H1 2022, and the
same-store portfolio owned by ReSI at September 2022 is fully
leased.
4. Shared ownership acquisitions:
- Income growth delivered: GBP0.4mn / flat on pence per share basis[5]
ReSI's earnings grew by c.GBP0.4mn from recent capital
deployment into shared ownership investments and letting activity
(excluding the impact of first tranche sales).
H1 2023 results include the full impact of ReSI's GBP24mn
acquisition of 182 fully occupied homes from Orbit last March, and
21 homes from HSPG last September. Both of these acquisitions were
occupied and immediately income generating, providing immediate
earnings enhancement for ReSI.
ReSI also acquired 59 new homes (GBP11mn) from Brick by Brick
that were delivered on phased basis between September 2022 and
March 2023 as they reached construction completion. At the date of
this report, 44 were occupied, with 8 reserved ahead of resident
move-in and 7 remaining available, representing a take-up rate of
c.6 units a month. Overall, the shared ownership portfolio is 99%
sold or reserved. This leasing activity illustrates the depth of
demand for shared ownership, which continues to play an essential
role in helping mid-to-low earners onto the housing ladder. We
expect this demand to further increase in this macroeconomic
environment which is characterised by high inflation and rising
interest rates, particularly with the Help-to-Buy programme having
ended in March 2023.
These acquisitions were funded by GBP15mn of equity raised in
February 2022 and debt drawn on the USS credit facility in March
2022, and are expected to be earnings accretive to ReSI's financial
performance on a fully stabilised basis. The transactions with
Orbit Group and Brick By Brick were repeat transactions with
counterparties transacted with during FY 2021 - evidencing the
growing strength of ReSI's relationship network.
5. Consistent rent collection:
ReSI's cash flow is supported by a highly diversified set of
income streams from residents who pay affordable rents. Our
retirement residents typically pay their rent from pensions and
savings, and residents benefitted from a 10.1% increase in state
pensions in April 2023, compared to the 6% rental growth caps in
place across our retirement portfolio. On average, ReSI's shared
ownership residents own c.37% of their homes and generally pay
below-market rent. The remainder of ReSI's rental income comes from
local authority housing, which is leased to Luton Borough Council.
ReSI has no leases with asset light, lease funded, housing
associations or charities.
ReSI's rent collection rate exceed 99% in H1 2023 and the
affordability of ReSI's rents, as well as the strength of
creditworthiness in ReSI's counterparties has helped keep rental
arrears at c.1% of rent roll in H1 2023. To address those arrears,
we are working with residents to find solutions that benefit both
parties, which can include buying back part of shared owners' home
equity to provide liquidity, helping retirement residents utilise
all government welfare resources and subsidies available to them,
or occasionally helping residents find local authority
accommodation if they cannot afford to remain living in their
home.
First tranche sales profits
First tranche sales profits reduced by 31% to GBP0.2mn. This
reflects the gain on cost we recognise by selling a portion of a
shared ownership home to the occupiers and is thereafter replaced
by ongoing net rental income from the shared owner. The reduction
in this line reflects the ongoing maturity of ReSI's business and
increased quality of income streams.
Net finance costs
Net finance costs increased by 13% to GBP3.1mn, caused by a 21%
increase in interest on borrowings to GBP2.6mn, with ground rent
expenses remaining at GBP0.5mn. Interest expenses have been driven
by the 3% average increase in SONIA year on year on ReSI's GBP21mn
of floating rate debt, as well as GBP20mn long-term debt drawn from
USS in March 2022 to finance shared ownership acquisitions.
ReSI is exploring the sale of non-core assets in order to
pay-down its short-term floating rate debt and leave the Company
with long-term fixed or inflation-linked debt with a weighted
average maturity of 21 years.
Administrative and other expenses
Administrative and other expenses, including management fees and
other costs of running the Group, were GBP2.1mn (six months to 31
March 2022: GBP1.5mn). The year-on-year increase has been
predominately driven by GBP0.3mn of exceptional costs recognised in
the period in relation to an aborted equity raise. Prior to the
market dislocation, in September 2022, the Company was well
advanced with preparations for an equity raise to enable the
execution of accretive shared ownership acquisitions which were
under exclusivity.
Management fees have also increased to GBP1.0mn (six months to
31 March 2022: GBP0.9mn) year on year, reflecting the impact of
February 2022's fundraise as well as a higher NAV than 12 months
ago. The management fee is measured in advance based on the prior
quarter NAV, with an annual adjustment ensuring the fee for the
full financial year is charged in reference to an average NAV over
the full financial year. Accordingly, the management fee is
expected to reduce and for the full year ending 30 September 2023
be broadly aligned with financial year ending September 2022.
The balance of the increase, in administrative and other
expenses, is attributable to costs related to investment in the
regulation and governance of our Registered Provider of Social
Housing, ReSI Housing, as it grows and matures. ReSI Housing is the
regulated entity which holds all of ReSI's shared ownership homes
and is registered with the Regulator of Social Housing.
Dividend coverage:
ReSI's dividend was 86% covered by recurring income in H1 2023,
reflecting an 11% year-on-year decline in dividend coverage.
Dividends paid were flat on a per share basis but increased in
absolute quantum by the 8% increase in share count, reflecting the
GBP15mn share issuance in February 2022. Rental income increased by
10% year on year, but this was more than offset by inflationary
increases in retirement property expenses, increased floating rate
interest costs and increase in fund operating expenses, to leave
Adjusted Earnings down 3% and reduce dividend cover by 11%.
We anticipate some uplift in H2 2023 dividend coverage resulting
from the 7% shared ownership rent increases on 1 April 2023,
completion of lettings in the shared ownership portfolio, further
rent increases in retirement, and operational initiatives that RPML
is currently pursuing to reduce retirement operating costs.
Valuations
During the period, we have seen significant disruption to the UK
property investment market due to macroeconomic and geopolitical
issues. A significant increase in interest rates has driven a sharp
increase in cost of capital and pushed property yields higher.
Valuers have been quick to reprice, to this higher rate
environment, with valuation declines reported almost
indiscriminately across the listed REIT space. We expect that
higher quality assets generating stable income flows, such as the
ReSI portfolio, will stabilise more quickly and prove more
resilient. Furthermore, in addition to the stable income
generation, ReSI's portfolio naturally benefits from valuation
tailwinds, due to the chronic undersupply in affordable housing
across the demographic spectrum in the UK.
Savills Advisory Services Limited (Savills) are appointed to
value the Company's property investments, in accordance with the
Regulated Investment Company requirements, on a quarterly basis.
ReSI's property valuation, as assessed by Savills, decreased by
GBP28.5mn during the half year - a 7.2% decrease on a like-for-like
fair value basis to a total of GBP355mn as of 31 March 2023. This
was driven by c.50 bps increase (inclusive of 1 April 23 rent
reviews in shared ownership) in the weighted average valuation
yield applied to the portfolio, with both shared ownership and
retirement valuation yield shifts of c.50 bps to 5.4% and 3.5%
respectively. This shift in valuation yields partly reflects rental
growth of 6.2% on 1,477 properties (45% of portfolio) driving 2.9%
like-for-like growth for the six months to 1 April 2023. Valuations
of course remain sensitive to moves in gilt yields, but we see
downward pressure on valuations starting to ease.

Investment valuations declined by GBP19.5mn (6%) reflecting a
GBP28.5mn (7.2%) like-for-like decline caused by a c.50 bps
increase in the weighted average valuation yield and the completion
of GBP9mn of new shared ownership acquisitions from Brick By
Brick.
Inventories reflect the amount of unoccupied shared ownership
properties that are expected to be sold to shared owners and are
held at cost. The 51% increase reflects the acquisition of 59
vacant shared ownership homes between September 2022 and March
2023, with 23 remaining vacant on 31 March of which 8 have
subsequently been occupied and a further 8 are reserved.
Total borrowings (amortised cost) increased by GBP8mn over the
six-month period to GBP203mn as of 31 March 2023, reflecting
quarterly indexation on the USS credit facility as well as an
increase in short term borrowings for committed acquisitions.
The EPRA NTA and IFRS NAV measures exclude the reversionary
surplus in our portfolio which stands at GBP73mn. This represents
the difference between the market value of our assets used in our
balance sheet and the value we could realise if they became vacant.
Overall, our portfolio is valued at a 17% discount, on average, to
its reversionary value.
Financing and Capital Structure
ReSI has c.GBP203mn (notional value) of debt in place, of which
90% is either long-term fixed rate or inflation-linked. This
represents a 3% increase in fair value of debt since September
2022, reflecting changes in fair value on the inflation-linked USS
debt resulting from recurring indexation (GBP2.2mn).
LTV has increased by 5% from 47% to 52% over the last six months
ahead of our target of 50% leverage. 4% of this LTV increase was
driven by a 7.2% decline in ReSI's property valuations since
September 2022, with 1% driven by the impact of recurring quarterly
indexation on the USS credit facility.
Our reversionary loan-to-value is 47% when taking into account
the GBP428mn vacant possession value of the portfolio. This GBP73mn
reversionary surplus (compared to GBP355mn of fair value)
represents the difference between the market value of our assets
used in our balance sheet and the value we could realise if they
became vacant. Overall, our portfolio is valued at a 17% discount,
on average, to its reversionary value.

The drop in property investment values and increase in debt fair
value has narrowed headroom in the Santander working capital
facility's loan-to-value covenant which is GBP8mn drawn and
represents 4% of ReSI's outstanding debt balance. As at 31 March
2023, the working capital facility's LTV covenant was 53%, with
c.GBP12mn of property value headroom (3%) before a covenant breach
is triggered. We estimate that ReSI's weighted average valuation
yield would need to shift outward by a further c.20bps for this
valuation loss to be realised, on top of the c.50bps (inclusive of
1 April 23 rent reviews) widening since September 2022.
However, market transactional evidence as at period end suggests
that we may be past the worst of valuation yield movements.
Furthermore, taking into account ReSI's high-quality assets
generating stable income flows, and the speed at which valuers have
marked down portfolios across the listed REIT sector, we believe
ReSI's portfolio is well placed to provide resilience against
further material outward yield shifts.
As a wholly proactive measure, ReSI has held positive
discussions with Santander in relation to the LTV covenant.
Santander acknowledge the strong long-term and income generating
fundamentals of the ReSI property portfolio; accordingly, they are
open to relaxing the LTV covenant until yields stabilise. Execution
of the change to the LTV covenant is expected to conclude by the
end of June (subject to credit approval).Additionally, we are
actively exploring the sale of non-core assets in order to pay-down
our short-term floating rate debt. This would leave the Company
with long-term fixed or inflation-linked debt with a weighted
average maturity of 21 years .
ReSI's other LTV covenants and ICR covenants still have ample
headroom and ReSI's USS debt on its shared ownership portfolio is
fully amortising and so does not have a loan-to-value debt
covenant.

ReSI currently has GBP17mn of remaining liquidity available via
its working capital facility as well as GBP5mn of unrestricted
cash. Near-term debt maturities consist of GBP12.1mn of floating
rate NatWest debt, which matures in October 2023. We expect to
fully repay the loan in H2 2023 with proceeds from asset disposals,
at which point ReSI's floating-rate-debt exposure will consist of
borrowings on the revolving working credit facility.
Social and Environmental:
We remain committed to delivering measurable social and
environmental impact for the benefit of our residents and the
UK.
This year shared ownership rents were due to increase by 12.4%
on 1 April, however we have voluntarily capped this increase at 7%
(by way of a rebate), in line with wage growth and the inflation
rate excluding the impact of energy bills. This decision is
entirely in our control but matches the cap that the government has
applied to general needs social housing properties. The 7% rent cap
is projected to save residents c.GBP204,000 over the next 12
months.
Our retirees benefit from the rent increase cap of 6% being
applied to all directly rented retirement properties, which
currently generates annualised savings of c.GBP464,000 as at March
2023. In addition, further rent caps and rent freezes have been
provided to residents who are most in need, representing GBP38,000
of annualised benefit as at March 2023.
The rental increase caps we offer to residents highlight ReSI's
commitment to ensuring housing remains affordable for our
residents. We believe this will help residents stay with ReSI for
longer, which should help us to deliver long-term, stable returns
to investors.
Our in-house property manager, RPML, received resident survey
feedback indicating c.90% resident satisfaction rates across our
retirement and shared ownership portfolios. More generally, we aim
to continue delivering high-quality of service to our residents as
a best-in-class provider of affordable housing.
ReSI continued to invest in improving the energy efficiency of
its retirement portfolio and is targeting upgrading all directly
rented properties to at least a C by 2025, three years ahead of the
government target with 96% now at this target. For the whole
portfolio, 85% of the properties are rated C or higher, leaving
ReSI well ahead of the average for the social sector and the
overall UK housing market [10] .
Management Team Transition
Gresham House has recently hired three senior real estate
investment professionals to join the Housing team to bolster
resources, experience and help to drive further growth and to work
with me and the existing team.
Mike Adams is the newly appointed Managing Director of the
expanded Gresham House Real Estate business and will be ultimately
responsible for all Real Estate strategies.
Mike Adams joined with Burak Varisli in February 2023 and,
Sandeep Patel joined in December 2022 as the divisional finance
director.
Alex Pilato will fully retire on 9 June, completing a transition
that commenced in March 2020 with the sale of the Fund Manager to
Gresham House. Alex continues to have a very strong interest in the
success of ReSI with significant shareholdings.
Summary and outlook:
ReSI continues to see enormous demand for affordable homes, with
a particular shortage of affordable homeownership routes for young
families and key workers and fit for purpose homes for independent
living through retirement, demand which ReSI is well placed to
meet.
ReSI has delivered strong like-for-like rental review growth of
6.2%, inclusive of 7% rent increases on the shared ownership
portfolio effective 1 April 2023, with continued high occupancy,
rent collection stable at almost 100% and good demand for new homes
reflecting our focus on individual resident contractual
relationships.
This positions ReSI well for the future but the short-term
positive impact above has been more than offset by inflationary
increases in retirement property expenses, increased floating rate
interest costs and an increase in fund operating expenses, to leave
Adjusted Earnings down 3% and reduce dividend cover by 11%.
We are focused on operational improvements to the retirement
portfolio, working closely with RPML, our dedicated in-house
property management team, to drive earnings whilst exploring the
sale of non-core assets to allow ReSI to pay down its floating rate
debt and leave the Company with long-term fixed or inflation-linked
debt with an average maturity of 21 years. We will then work with
the Board to rebase the dividend, likely targeting a higher level
of dividend cover to support a progressive dividend that grows
sustainably in line with ReSI's underlying inflation-linked
rents.
Valuations have been impacted by rising gilt yields, and of
course remain sensitive to future moves, but we see downward
pressure on valuations starting to ease, while inflationary
pressures are hopefully nearing their peak.
With strong demand, inflation-linked rents and wide support for
more investment in affordable housing the outlook for ReSI remains
strong.

Environmental, Social and Governance
The Board and the Fund Manager believe that sustainable
investment involves the integration of Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) factors within the investment process and that
these factors should be considered alongside financial and
strategic issues during assessment and at all stages of the
investment process.
The Board and Fund Manager recognise their responsibility to
manage and conduct business in a socially responsible way and many
of the Company's investors, residents and other counterparties have
the same values. Good governance and social responsibility require
that the Company seeks to implement a collaborative approach to
understanding and improving environmental and social performance.
The Fund Manager is responsible for engagement on ESG matters and
dedicates a significant amount of time and resource to focusing on
the ESG characteristics of the properties in which it invests. Such
ESG factors, which were traditionally not part of financial
analysis, are incorporated and prioritised as part of the
investment and due diligence process through the ESG decision tool,
which has been developed by Gresham House's dedicated Sustainable
Investment Team. Ongoing monitoring of ESG related risks is carried
out through investment reviews.
The Fund Manager also gives appropriate consideration to
corporate governance and the representation of shareholder
interests. This is applied both as a positive consideration, and
also to exclude certain investments where the Fund Manager does not
believe the interests of shareholders will be prioritised.
Gresham House has a clear commitment to sustainable investment
as part of its business mission, exemplified by being awarded the
Green Economy Mark from the London Stock Exchange and being a
signatory to the UK Stewardship Code.
Based on its Sustainable Investment Framework, Gresham House has
developed a range of policies and processes for all asset classes
which the Fund Manager uses to integrate sustainability into its
investment approach. More details can be found in the Housing
Sustainable Investment Policy here .
Housing Sustainable Investment Framework
The Fund Manager, with support from Gresham House's dedicated
Sustainable Investment team, has developed the Housing Sustainable
Investment Framework to structure analysis, monitoring and
reporting of ESG issues and opportunities within the lifecycle of
our investments. The Housing Sustainable Investment Framework
addresses the most material themes for housing investments from the
broader Gresham House Sustainable Investment Framework.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Board recognises the importance of risk management in
achieving ReSI's strategic aims.
The principal risk and uncertainties for the Group continue to
be those outlined on pages 80 to 86 of the Annual Report for the
year ended 30 September 2022 and the Board expects those to remain
valid for the remainder of the financial year.
An assessment of any changes to the risks in the six months
ending 31 March 2023 are listed below:

Each of the directors, whose names are listed on page 68,

Fund Manager's Report and Key Performance Measures on pages 12 to
23, Principal Risks and Uncertainties on page 25 and the Related

Authority namely:
(a) an indication of important events that have occurred during
the first six months since 1 October 2022 and their impact on the

For and on behalf of the Board
Rob Whiteman
Chairman
6 June 2023
Independent Review Report to the members of Residential Secure
Income plc
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements
in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 31
March 2023 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance
with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's
Financial Conduct Authority.
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set
of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the
six months ended 31 March 2023 which comprises the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Condensed
Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, the Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Changes in Equity, and related notes.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410, "Review of Interim
Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity" ("ISRE (UK) 2410"). A review of interim financial
information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying
analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not
enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all
significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the
Group are prepared in accordance with UK adopted international
accounting standards. The condensed set of financial statements
included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in
accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34,
"Interim Financial Reporting".
Conclusions relating to going concern
Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than
those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for
conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our
attention to suggest that the directors have inappropriately
adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the directors
have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern
that are not appropriately disclosed.
This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in
accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410, however future events or conditions
may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Responsibilities of directors
The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly
financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct
Authority.
In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are
responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the financial
information
In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for
expressing to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of
financial statement in the half-yearly financial report. Our
conclusion, including our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern,
are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit
procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of
this report.
Use of our report
Our report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of our
engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's
Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. No person is
entitled to rely on this report unless such a person is a person
entitled to rely upon this report by virtue of and for the purpose
of our terms of engagement or has been expressly authorised to do
so by our prior written consent. Save as above, we do not accept
responsibility for this report to any other person or for any other
purpose and we hereby expressly disclaim any and all such
liability.

Condensed Notes to the Financial Statements
For the period 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023
1. General information
The financial information set out in this report covers the six
months to 31 March 2023 and includes the results and net assets of
the Company and its subsidiaries. The comparatives presented for
the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows
are for the six months to 31 March 2022. The comparatives presented
for the Statement of Financial Position are as at 30 September
2022.
This consolidated interim financial information has not been
audited by the Company's auditor.
Residential Secure Income plc (ReSI or the Company) was
incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006 as a
public company limited by shares on 21 March 2017. The Company's
registration number is 10683026. The registered office of the
Company is located at The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol,
England, BS13 8FD.
The Company achieved admission to the premium listing segment of
the main market of the London Stock Exchange on 12 July 2017.
The Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") invests in
residential asset classes that comprise the stock of registered UK
social housing providers, Housing Associations and Local
Authorities.
2. Basis of preparation
These condensed financial statements for the period ended 31
March 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim
Financial Reporting" as adopted by the United Kingdom. The interim
report should be read in conjunction with the annual Financial
Statements for the year ended 30 September 2022, which were
prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in
conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and in
accordance with UK adopted international financial reporting
standards.
The condensed financial statements have been prepared on a
historical cost basis, except for investment properties, derivative
financial instruments and certain bank borrowings which have been
measured at fair value.
The condensed financial statements have been rounded to the
nearest thousand and are presented in Sterling, except when
otherwise indicated.
The condensed financial statements for the period are unaudited
and do not constitute statutory accounts for the purposes of the
Companies Act 2006. The annual report and financial statements for
the year ended 30 September 2022 have been filed at Companies
House. The independent auditor's report on the annual report and
financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2022 was
unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of
emphasis, and did not contain a statement under sections 498 (2) or
498 (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
a) Going concern
The Directors have made an assessment of the Group's ability to
continue as a going concern, and are satisfied that the Group has
the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future.
The Group expects to refinance the NatWest facility which is due to
expire in October 2023. The drawn balance of the NatWest Facility
at the signing date was GBP12.0mn and the undrawn headroom in the
Santander RCF is GBP17.1mn. Accordingly in the event non-core asset
sales were delayed the Group has access to sufficient capital to
pay down the NatWest facility. Furthermore, the Directors are not
aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt
upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore,
the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern
basis.
ReSI is subject to covenants on debt secured on its shared
ownership, retirement and Local Authority portfolios (see note 16
on page 48). Sensitivity analysis has been performed, showing a
large amount of headroom on all covenants, including all debt
servicing and valuation metrics. Due to the long-term nature of the
Company's assets and strong cash flows, the Directors do not
forecast a breach of any debt covenants.
Financial models have been prepared for the going concern period
which consider liquidity at the start of the period and key
financial assumptions at the Company level as well as at level of
the subsidiaries of ReSI. These financial assumptions include
expected cash generated and distributed by the portfolio companies
available to be distributed to the Company, inflows and outflows in
relation to the external debt and interest payments expected within
the subsidiaries, the availability of new external debt facilities,
committed expenditure for investments and expected dividends as
well as the ongoing administrative costs of the Company.
b) Changes to accounting standards and interpretations
Amendments to standards adopted during the year
The IASB and IFRIC have issued or revised a number of standards.
None of these amendments have led to any material changes in the
Group's accounting policies or disclosures during the year.
Standards in issue but not yet effective
Certain amendments and interpretations to existing standards
have been published that are mandatory for the Group's accounting
periods beginning on or after 1 October 2023 and whilst the
Directors are considering these, initial indications are that these
changes will have no material impact on the Group's financial
statements.
3. Significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation
of the financial statements are consistent with those applied in
the Group's statutory accounts for the year ended 30 September 2022
and are expected to be consistently applied for the year ending 30
September 2023. The policies have been consistently applied
throughout the period.
4. Significant accounting judgements and estimates
There have been no new or material revision to the nature and
amount of judgements and reported in the Annual Report 2022, other
than changes to certain assumptions applied in the valuation of
properties and USS debt.

'Rent straight line adjustments' represent the recognition of
lease incentives and contractual fixed annual rent increases on a
straight-line basis over the term of the underlying leases.
Included within rental income is a GBP559,000 (2022: GBP564,000)
rent smoothing adjustment that arises as a result of IFRS 16
'Leases' which require rental income in respect of leases with
rents increasing by a fixed percentage be accounted for on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. During the period this
resulted in an increase in rental income, with an offsetting entry
being recognised in profit or loss as an adjustment to the
investment property revaluation.
Gross rental income includes service charges collected from
tenants, included in rent collected but not separately invoiced, of
GBP2,654,423 during the period (2022: GBP2,234,630). Service charge
expenses, as reflected in the cost of sales, also includes amounts
paid in respect of properties which were vacant during the period
of GBP7,028 (2022: GBP163,042).
The Net Income after ground rents disclosed as finance lease
interest are presented to provide what the Board believes is a more
appropriate assessment of the Group's net property income. Ground
rent costs are an inherent cost of holding certain leasehold
properties and are taken into consideration by Savills when valuing
the Group's properties.

Loss on fair value adjustment of borrowings arises from debt
raised against the shared ownership portfolio, which the Company
has elected to fair value through Profit and Loss, in order to
address an accounting mismatch as the value of the loan is linked
to the shared ownership investment portfolio. An election has been
made to value this debt at fair value through profit or loss,
therefore all fees associated with this debt are expensed in
entirety as they occur.

by Savills, the adjustment to fair value in respect of finance
lease assets for ground rents receivable has been excluded to show
the value of the asset net of all payments to be made (including
ground rent payments). Committed properties with purchase contracts
exchanged have been included to provide an indication of the value
of all properties to which the Group is contractually committed at
31 March 2023.

Included within the carrying value of investment properties at
31 March 2023 is GBP2,629,000 (30 September 2022: GBP2,070,000) in
respect of the smoothing of fixed contractual rent uplifts as
described in note 5. The difference between rents on a
straight-line basis and rents actually receivable is included
within the carrying value of the investment properties but does not
increase that carrying value over the fair value.
The historical cost of investment properties at 31 March 2023
was GBP348,070,000 (30 September 2022: GBP339,012,000).
In accordance with "IAS 40: Investment Property", the Group's
investment properties have been independently valued at fair value
by Savills (UK) Limited ("Savills"), an accredited external valuer
with recognised and relevant professional qualifications.
The carrying values of investment property as at 31 March 2023
agree to the valuations reported by external valuers, except that
the valuations have been:
Increased by the amount of finance lease liabilities recognised
in respect of investment properties held under leases GBP31,577,000
(GBP31,342,000 at 30 September 2022), representing the present
value of ground rents payable for the properties held by the Group
under leasehold - further information is provided in note 23. This
is because the independent valuations are shown net of all payments
expected to be made. However, for financial reporting purposes in
accordance with IAS 40, "Investment Property", the carrying value
of the investment properties includes the present value of the
minimum lease payments in relation to these leases. The related
lease liabilities are presented separately on the Statement of
Financial Position.
'Rent straight line adjustments' represent the recognition of
lease incentives and contractual fixed annual rent increases on a
straight-line basis over the term of the underlying leases.
The Group's investment objective is to provide shareholders with
an attractive level of income, together with the potential for
capital growth, from acquiring portfolios of homes across
residential asset classes that comprise the stock of statutory
registered providers.
The Group intends to hold its investment property portfolio over
the long term, taking advantage of upward-only inflation-linked
leases. The Group will not be actively seeking to dispose of any of
its assets, although it may dispose of investments should an
opportunity arise that would enhance the value of the Group as a
whole.
The Group has pledged all of its investment properties
(including inventory) to secure loan facilities granted to the
Group (see note 16).

The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring
expected credit losses using a 12-month expected loss provision for
rent receivables. To measure expected credit losses on a collective
basis, rent receivables are grouped based on similar credit risk
and aging.
There is no significant difference between the fair value and
carrying value of trade and other receivables at the Statement of

Included within cash at the period end was an amount totalling
GBP4,659,000 (GBP3,243,000 at 30 September 2022) held in separate
bank accounts which the Group considers restricted cash. This
relates to cash that is subject to restrictions with a third party
where the terms of the account do not prevent the Group from
accessing the cash. This is typically where the Group has agreed to
deposit cash with a bank as part of a joint arrangement with a
tenant under a lease agreement, or to provide additional security
to a lender over loan facilities, or under an asset management
initiative.
GBP1,349,000 (GBP1,324,000 at 30 September 2022) was held by the
managing agent of the retirement portfolio in respect of tenancy
rental deposits.
Other funds were held by the management agent in an operating
account to pay service charges in respect of the RHP Portfolio due
on 1 October 2022.
GBP2,954,000 (GBP1,564,000 at 30 September 2022) was held by US
Bank in respect of funds required as a debt service reserve for the
shared ownership debt. GBP423,000 (GBP354,000 at 30 September 2022)
was held in respect of a service charge reserve fund.
Cash held as investment deposit relates to cash invested in a
money market fund, which is invested in short-term AAA rated
Sterling Investments. As the fund has a short maturity period, the
investment has a high liquidity. The fund has GBP14.8bn AUM, hence
the Group's investment deposit represents an immaterial proportion
of the fund.

*The principal will increase at a rate of RPI+0.5% annually, on
a quarterly basis; RPI is capped between 0% and 5% on a pro-rated
basis.
The Group has elected to fair value through Profit and Loss the
Universities Superannuation Scheme borrowings. This is considered a
more appropriate basis of recognition than amortised cost given the
inflation-linked nature of the debt, which has been negotiated to
inflate in line with the RPI linked rent in ReSI's shared ownership
leases. The notional outstanding debt at 31 March 2023 was
GBP77.5mn (30 September 2022: GBP77.5mn) with an amortised cost of
GBP84.9mn (30 September 2022: GBP82.7mn).
The Universities Superannuation Scheme borrowings have been fair
valued by calculating the present value of future cash flows, using
the gilt curve and a credit spread reflecting the high credit
strength of the borrower at the date of valuation. The credit
spread used for the valuation as at 31 March 2022 was 1.58% (30
September 2022: 1.81%).
In accordance with IFRS 13, the Group's borrowings held at fair
value have been assigned a valuation level in the fair value
hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Group's
borrowings held at fair value as at 31 March 2023 are categorised
as Level 2.
Everything else being equal, there is a negative relationship
between the credit spread and the borrowings valuation, such that
an increase in the credit spread (and therefore the future interest
payable) will reduce the valuation of a borrowing liability and
vice versa. A 10-basis point increase in the credit spread would
result in a reduction of the liability by GBP1.3mn.
The fair value of the GBP92.2mn of fixed rate borrowings held at
amortised cost at 31 March 2023 was GBP75.7mn (GBP70.6mn at 30
September 2022).
The Scottish Widows facility is secured by a first charge over
retirement properties with a fair value of GBP209.3mn.
The NatWest facility is secured by a first charge over Local
Authority Housing properties with a fair value of GBP23.0mn.
The Universities Superannuation Scheme facility is secured by a
first charge over shared ownership properties with a fair value
GBP124.4mn, cash of GBP2.1mn, related inventory of GBP1.8mn, and
restricted cash balances of GBP3.0mn.
The Group has a revolving capital facility of GBP25mn with
Santander UK plc. As at the period end, GBP8.6mn has been drawn
down under the facility. Each draw under the facility must be
repaid within two years of drawdown, at 31 March 2023 GBP8.6mn is
due for repayment within two years.

The interest expense in respect of lease liabilities for the
period was GBP478,000 (31 March 2022: GBP513,000).
There was no expense relating to variable lease payments in the
period (31 March 2022: Nil).
The Group did not have any short-term leases or leases for low
value assets accounted for under IFRS 16 paragraph 6, nor any sale
and leaseback transactions.
The total cash outflow in respect of leases was GBP478,000 (31
March 2022: GBP513,000).
At 31 March 2023, the Group had outstanding commitments for
future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases, which
fall due as follows:

The above commitment is in respect of ground rents payable for
properties held by the Group under leasehold. There are 2,207
properties (30 September 2022: 2,182) held under leasehold with an
average unexpired lease term of 154 years (30 September 2022: 155
years).
The majority of restrictions imposed are the covenants in place
limiting tenancies to people of retirement age.
The Group as lessor
The Group leases some of its investment properties under
operating leases. At the balance sheet date, the Group had
contracted with tenants for the following future aggregate minimum
rentals receivable under non-cancellable operating leases:

----------- ---------------
The total of contingent rents recognised as income during the
period was GBPnil (31 March 2022: GBPnil).
The majority of leases are assured tenancy or assured shorthold
tenancy agreements. The table above shows the minimum lease
payments receivable under the assumption that all tenants terminate
their leases at the earliest opportunity. However, assured
tenancies are long-term agreements providing lifetime security of
tenure to residents.
The leases in the licensed retirement homes portfolio are
indefinite and would only be terminated in the event that the
leaseholders of the relevant retirement development vote to no
longer have a resident house manager living at their
development.
The Group's shared ownership properties are let to Shared Owners
on leases with initial lease terms of between 130 to 999 years.
Two of the Group's properties are let out on more traditional
leases which account for approximately 8% of total rental
income.
The table below shows our expected lease receivables, excluding
future rent reviews, from existing leases based on historical
turnover rates consistent with our assumptions for valuing the
properties:

The Group has debt which it has elected to carry at fair value
through profit and loss. In accordance with the EPRA Best Practice
Recommendations, EPRA NTA should reflect the amortised cost of the
debt rather than its fair value. In the current period, an
adjustment has been made for GBP2.1mn which represents the
difference between fair value and what amortised cost would have
been had the Group carried the debt at amortised cost (30 September
2022: GBP5.0mn).

25. Contingent liabilities and commitments
ReSI's shared ownership portfolio has been supported by GBP15mn
government grant funding. In some circumstances, typically when a
Shared Owner staircases, ReSI will be required to recycle the grant
into the purchase of new properties within three years or to repay
it to the grant providing body. On disposal/staircasing of a grant
funded property, the Group initially recognises a liability in the
Recycled Capital Grant fund. If the disposal receipts are not
subsequently recycled, the grant will be repaid. The balance at 31
March 2023 was GBP465,000 (30 September 2022: GBP205,000).
There are no provisions for fines and settlements specified for
ESG (Environmental, Social or Governance) or any other issues.
