TOC PROPERTY BACKED LENDING TRUST PLC
(the "Company")
Portfolio Update
The Company is pleased to announce three successful profit share
arrangements with the Marley Hill, Springs and Newgate Street
projects, recording gains of GBP38,000, GBP44,000 and GBP56,000
respectively. The Marley Hill gain has been realised, following the
completion of this project, and follows the GBP104,000 gain
announced in the financial statements for the year ended November
2018. The Springs and Newgate Street gains are projected from the
current trading position of both projects.
Ahead of the release of the Company's full year accounts, the
Board has resolved to record a net overall loan book impairment of
c.10%, driven largely by the following two underperforming
longstanding legacy projects:
Pendower Hall
The Board made an initial impairment against the Company's
original GBP2m loan of GBP0.2m in November 2018. The Company has
agreed a restructuring of its loan facility to take receipt of
additional collateral via equity in a private trading business. The
Board and Investment Adviser are now working to appraise the value
of this equity and will, informed by the results of this work,
consider the merits of retaining the equity as a non-core holding
or liquidating it, in full or in part, to reduce the exposure.
Until such time as an accurate valuation can be established, the
Board and Investment Adviser believe it appropriate to impair the
loan by a further GBP0.842m to GBP0.958m constituting 3.67% of the
loan portfolio.
West Auckland
The West Auckland loan has previously not performed in line with
expectations and the Board made an impairment against the interest
of GBP0.139m in November 2018. Since then, due to ongoing trading
difficulties, with sales rates slowing due to challenging economic
conditions, the Board has decided to make a capital impairment
against the GBP2.975m West Auckland loan of GBP1.654m, being a
c.60% impairment to this loan, and representing 6.32% of the loan
portfolio.
These numbers will be reflected in the financial statements for
the year ended November 2019.
All figures remain subject to final audit confirmation in the
full year results due to be released later this month.
The Board also confirms that former co-fund manager, Stephen
Black is no longer involved in any capacity with Tier One Capital
Ltd., the investment adviser to the Company.
