Market and strategy The Group operates in the UK residential private rented sector (PRS). It seeks to acquire: (cid:129) under-managed rented property assets and portfolios The team’s considerable PRS expertise enables them to improve portfolios and, importantly, tenant experience at under-managed properties, through asset and property management activity. This has resulted in higher rental and property values. (cid:129) in lower price segments The focus on lower price segments ensures that the portfolio is directed towards the highest area of tenant and buyer demand. This is defensive in a downturn and shows strong growth in an upturn. (cid:129) held within UK-incorporated companies The REIT structure itself provides K&C with the opportunity to capitalise on the advantages afforded to REITs to provide an efficient exit route for vendors of SPVs, in particular, managing deferred capital gains tax liabilities. The residential sales market has slowed over the last year, particularly in higher price-band properties in Central London. The impact of the Brexit vote, a more difficult economy, an inconclusive general election result and significant tax changes, particularly for ‘buy- to-let’ landlords, all taking place within a relatively short period of time, have been difficult for the market to digest. It is important to note that, across the UK as a whole, prices and rental values continue to rise, albeit at slower rates. Indeed, the Group’s assets, which, on a unit basis, are all in the lower price bands (studio, one and two beds), have performed well. The positive overall economic fundamentals in the residential sector – strong demand and shortage of supply – will, in our view, deliver attractive rental and capital value performance across the UK over the medium term. Investment and operations Osprey has exceeded expectations, having significantly increased revenue from ground rents, sales commissions, lease extensions and other management income. We have invested in the operations of the business and believe that Osprey is well positioned to continue its strong performance in the future. The Coleherne Road apartments have continued to perform well. The small size of the units (studio, one- and two-bed flats) is exactly what the market is looking for. This has meant that occupancy has been maintained at close to 100 per cent and rents have increased by eight per cent since acquisition in July 2015. The Group considered a number of UK residential investment opportunities during the year. Post the year-end, the Group completed the acquisition of three residential units at its freehold Heathside property in Hampstead for £935,000 (accepting the surrender of 67-year leasehold interests) using funds raised from the issue of convertible loan notes. The Company continues to implement its value-adding asset-management plan at this property of creating ‘marriage value’ through the buy-in of leasehold units. Financial Income increased from £151,417 to £514,746 in the financial year. The Group reports a consolidated operating loss before separately disclosed administrative items of £636,896, which includes abortive and ongoing acquisition costs of approximately £200,000. The operating loss of £1,029,215 includes a non-cash share-based payment charge of £392,319.

The funds raised have been used to maintain the Group’s property assets and cover working capital requirements. On 9 July 2017, the Company issued 6% Loan Notes in the total sum of £1.35 million, a proportion of which are convertible into ordinary shares. £950,000 had been received in advance at the year-end. The loan notes are redeemable by the Company on 30 June 2020. This capital injection has been used primarily to acquire and refurbish the three Heathside units referred to above. The net asset value per share at 30 June 2017 is 8.57p. The post-balance sheet active asset management, acquisitions and light refurbishment in the Osprey portfolio has crystallised further value in the portfolio of more than £400,000. Portfolio valuation The portfolio at year-end was valued at £7.24 million, an increase of £0.1 million compared to 30 June 2016. Board changes We were delighted that Dominic White joined the Board as chief executive in January 2017. His long background in property investment has already proved of great value to the Company. Christopher James, Tim Oakley and Patricia Farley stepped down from the board at the end of March. Christopher and Tim continue to play important roles as members of the senior management team while Patricia’s property expertise and experience remains available to the business. Oliver Vaughan became a non-executive director of the Company in May 2017. Future prospects During the year, the Group has raised capital, restructured its Board, and, since year-end, acquired valuable assets. It has continued to build the positive momentum from the previous year. The Company aims to deliver a strong and growing covered dividend from rental streams and net asset value growth through the professional management of residential assets and the acquisition and management of SPVs with attractive and undervalued portfolios. We have built a significant pipeline of potential UK residential investments that, if acquired, would deliver this outcome. The Board continues to find and be shown interesting acquisition opportunities and I hope that I will be able to report further positive developments to you before too long.

The Company was incorporated in England and Wales on 10 June 2014. Principal activity The Group carries on the business of acquiring and managing residential property in the UK for letting to third parties on long and short leases. At the year-end, the Group consisted of the Company and three subsidiaries. 1. K&C (Coleherne) Limited owns a freehold residential property in Chelsea, London 2. K&C (Osprey) Limited owns the freehold of several retirement properties let on long leases to residents and provides management services in respect of these properties and to third party landlords 3. K&C (Newbury) Limited owns no property and is now effectively dormant. Group strategy The directors intend to build a significant presence in the residential letting market, primarily through the acquisition of UK-registered special purpose vehicles that own residential property for letting to third parties. Results The Group reports an operating loss from operating activities of £1,029,215 for the year to 30 June 2017. Review of business and financial performance The Board has reviewed whether the Annual Report, taken as a whole, presents a fair, balanced and understandable summary of the Group’s position and prospects, and believes that it provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group’s position, performance, and strategy. Information on the financial position and development of the Group is set out in the Chairman’s Statement, the report of the directors and the annexed financial statements. Financial key performance indicators The directors and management team review a variety of key performance indicators to monitor and improve Group performance, including: A. At property level i. Rent per ft2 compared with comparable market data and with other units in the asset ii. Vacancy rate in terms of number of units available and potential rental income iii. Management costs as a percentage of rental income (including repairs and maintenance, insurance, cleaning, agents’ fees, legal fees, utilities and council tax) iv. Gross and net yield compared with target levels v. Marginal increase in income as a percentage of capital expenditure vi. Outstanding rents as a percentage of rental income vii. Implementation of property plans compared with target.

Assets under management compared with target ii. Overheads as a percentage of gross/net rental income compared with target. No analysis of performance compared to these KPIs has been provided because the diverse nature of the assets owned by the subsidiary companies, and the changes to the operating models initiated by the Group, make such analyses at this stage of their ownership potentially misleading. Risks and uncertainties The Board regularly reviews the risks to which the Group is exposed and ensures through its meetings and regular reporting that these risks are minimised as far as possible. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group at this stage in its development are: (cid:129) Financing and liquidity risk The Company has an ongoing requirement to fund its activities through the equity markets and in future to obtain finance for property acquisition and management. There is no certainty that such funds will be available when needed. (cid:129) Financial instruments Details of risks associated with the Group’s financial instruments are given in Note 21 to the financial statements. (cid:129) Valuations The valuation of the investment property portfolio is inherently subjective as it is made on the basis of assumptions made by the valuer that may not prove to be accurate. The outcome of this judgment is significant to the Group in terms of its investment decisions and results. Internal controls and risk management The directors are responsible for the Group’s system of internal control. Although no system of internal control can provide absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss, the Group’s system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that problems are identified on a timely basis and dealt with appropriately. In carrying out their responsibilities, the directors have put in place a framework of controls to ensure as far as possible that ongoing financial performance is monitored in a timely manner, that, where required, corrective action is taken and that risk is identified as early as practically possible. The directors have reviewed the effectiveness of internal control. The Board, subject to delegated authority, reviews, among other things, capital investment, property sales and purchases, additional borrowing facilities, guarantees and insurance arrangements. Bribery risk The Group has adopted an anti-corruption policy and whistle- blowing policy under the Bribery Act 2010. Notwithstanding this, the Group may be held liable for offences under that Act committed by its employees or subcontractors whether or not K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 6 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp01-pp16 20/10/2017 08:58 Page 7 the Group or the directors have knowledge of the commission of such offences. Forward-looking statements This Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements that have been made by the directors in good faith based on the information available at the time of the approval of the annual report and financial statements. By their nature, such forward- looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will or may occur in the future. Actual results may differ from those expressed in such statements. Outlook The Group took significant steps forward through its admission to AIM, achieving REIT status and enhancing the performance of its first two acquisitions. It now intends to build on these achievements through further purchases of high quality assets that will be able to support an increasing income yield. The Group is currently investigating several potential acquisitions. To make further acquisitions, the Group will be required to raise more capital and it is working closely with funding sources, both equity and debt providers, to achieve this objective. On behalf of the board: James Cane Director 16 October 2017 K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 7 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp01-pp16 20/10/2017 08:58 Page 8 REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS for the year ended 30 June 2017 The directors present their report with the financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 30 June 2017. A review of the business, risks and uncertainties and future developments is included in the Chairman’s Statement, the Strategic Report and in note 21 to the financial statements. Dividends The directors do not recommend payment of a dividend for the year (2016 – £nil). Political donations The Group made no political donations during the year (2016 – £nil). Corporate governance statement The Board is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The UK Corporate Governance Code, published by the Financial Reporting Council, sets out standards of good practice in relation to board leadership and effectiveness, remuneration, accountability and relations with shareholders, providing principles of good governance and a code of best practice for listed companies. The UK Corporate Governance Code does not apply to AIM companies. However, shareholders expect companies in which they invest to be properly governed. The Company’s corporate governance procedures take due regard of the principles of good governance set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code, having regard to the size and the stage of development of the Company. Nonetheless, the Company has not formally adopted any specific corporate governance code. The Company has established audit, AIM compliance and remuneration committees, with formally delegated duties and responsibilities. Audit committee The audit committee currently comprises James Cane and Michael Davies, the chairman. The committee is responsible for ensuring the financial performance, position and prospects of the Group are properly monitored and reported on, and for meeting the auditor and reviewing their reports relating to accounts and internal controls.

Directors’ indemnities and insurance The Company has made qualifying third-party indemnity provisions for the benefit of its directors during the year and they remain in force at the date of approval of this Annual Report. Going concern The directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. This is further explained in the notes to the financial statements. Statement of directors’ responsibilities The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 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 adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”). Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and 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 judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; – state that the financial statements comply with IFRS; – prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business. K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 10 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp01-pp16 20/10/2017 08:58 Page 11 The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s and the Group’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. Statement as to disclosure of information to the auditor So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the Group’s auditor is unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Group’s auditor is aware of that information. Auditor The auditor, Messrs Moore Stephens LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. On behalf of the board James Cane Director 16 October 2017 K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 11 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp01-pp16 20/10/2017 08:58 Page 12 REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF K&C REIT PLC Our opinion We have audited the financial statements of K&C REIT plc (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2017 which comprise: (cid:129) the consolidated statement of comprehensive income; (cid:129) the consolidated and company statements of financial position; (cid:129) the consolidated and company statements of changes in equity; (cid:129) the consolidated and company cash flow statements; and (cid:129) the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the financial statements is applicable law and IFRS as adopted by the European Union. In our opinion, the Group financial statements (“the financial statements”): (cid:129) give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the Company’s affairs as at 30 June 2017 and of the Group’s loss for the year then ended; (cid:129) have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union; and (cid:129) have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and, as regards the Group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report below. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 12 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp01-pp16 20/10/2017 08:58 Page 13 Conclusions relating to going concern We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: (cid:129) the directors’ use of the going-concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate, or (cid:129) the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s or the Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going-concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. An overview of the scope of our audit The Group operates through two trading subsidiary undertakings which were considered to be significant components for the purposes of the Group financial statements. The financial statements consolidate these entities together with a non-trading subsidiary undertaking. In establishing our overall approach to the Group audit, we determined the type of work that needed to be performed in respect of each subsidiary. This consisted of us carrying out a full audit of the two trading subsidiaries as well as the Company. We have designed our audit approach to identify possible fraud in relation to the associated fraud risk of the Group. We consider the most likely areas where fraud might arise to be within the valuation of investment property and revenue recognition, our approach to these areas have been addressed within the key risk section. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Valuation of investment properties The Group holds investment properties which comprise properties owned by the Group held for capital appreciation, rental income or both. Investment properties are revalued on acquisition by independent external valuers and then by the directors or independent valuers annually thereafter. The Group’s investment property portfolio is valued at £7.2 million at the year-end. Due to the uncertainty of the property market, there is a risk that the properties are incorrectly valued. In this area, our audit procedures included: (cid:129) Independent external valuations were carried out for £6.6 million of the total investment property value at the year-end. For these valuations an assessment of the valuers’ qualifications, expertise and independence was performed to assess that these are appropriate for the work carried out. (cid:129) For the directors’ valuations of £0.6 million, we have reviewed the qualifications and expertise of the individual assigned to undertake the valuations to assess that these are appropriate for the work carried out. (cid:129) Where appropriate, investment property values have been compared with those in similar areas, to an external source. K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 13 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp01-pp16 20/10/2017 08:58 Page 14 REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF K&C REIT PLC (continued) Completeness of revenue Revenue of the Group was derived mainly from its principal activity, being the letting to third parties of, and management of, property assets owned by the Group. This income includes rental income, management fees and sales commissions. There is a risk that revenue is received and not recorded and, therefore, a potential risk in terms of the completeness of the revenue being recognised. Our approach to the audit of revenue was as follows: (cid:129) We reviewed rental contracts and compared the total rental income expected per the contract to the rental income received as per the accounting records to agree that this is in line with expectations. Total rental income was £155,000. (cid:129) Management fee income of £84,000 has been reconciled to expected charges. (cid:129) Sales commission income, on sales made by existing leaseholders, of £172,000 has been verified to commission rates charged on the sale of properties. (cid:129) Lease extension income of £97,000 has been verified with third party completion statements from relevant solicitors. (cid:129) Other revenues amount to £19,000. Our application of materiality We set certain thresholds for materiality. These help us to establish transactions and misstatements that are significant to the financial statements as a whole, to determine the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually on balances and on the financial statements as a whole. In establishing the audit strategy, it was determined that the level of uncorrected misstatements judged to be material for the financial statements and our Group audit overall would be £167,000, approximately 2% of gross assets. Our materiality for each subsidiary was also based on 2% of gross assets. This is the threshold above which missing or incorrect information in financial statements is considered to have an impact on the decision making of users. We reported to the Audit and Risk Committee all potential adjustments in excess of £8,350, being 5% of the materiality for the financial statements as a whole. Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 14 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp01-pp16 20/10/2017 08:58 Page 15 Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: (cid:129) the information given in the strategic report and the report of the directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and (cid:129) the strategic report and the report of the directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the report of the directors. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: (cid:129) adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or (cid:129) the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or (cid:129) certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or (cid:129) we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of directors As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement, set out on pages 10 and 11, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’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 audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs(UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Presentation of financial statements Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and as adopted by the European Union. Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (‘£’), which is considered by the directors to be the functional currency of the Group. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted As at 30 June 2017, certain standards and interpretations were in issue but not yet adopted by the EU. The directors do not anticipate that the adoption of these revised standards and interpretations will have a significant impact on the figures included in the financial statements in the period of initial application other than the following: IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments The standard makes substantial changes to the measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. There will only be three categories of financial assets whereby financial assets are recognised at either fair value through profit and loss, fair value through other comprehensive income or measured at amortised cost. On adoption of the standard, the Group will have to re-determine the classification of its financial assets based on the business model for each category of financial asset. This is not considered likely to give rise to any significant adjustments other than reclassifications. The standard is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers The standard has been developed to provide a comprehensive set of principles in presenting the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The standard is based around five steps in recognising revenue: 1. 2. Identify the contract with the customer; Identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3. Determine the transaction price; 4. Allocate the transaction price; and 5. Recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. On application of the standard, the disclosures are likely to increase. The standard includes principles on disclosing the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, by providing qualitative and quantitative information. IFRS 16 – Leases The standard has been developed to provide information to the users of the financial statements on the lease transactions undertaken by the entity, in order for them to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. On application of the standard, the company will be required to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value.

Accounting policies Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis with the exception of investment properties that are held at fair value. Going concern After preparing detailed forecasts including the raising of new funds, the directors have formed a judgment that, as at the date of approving the financial statements, there is reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence in the foreseeable future. For this reason, the directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The directors believe that the Company and the Group will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Basis of consolidation The financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings. The subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements, from the effective date of acquisition, are K&C (Newbury) Limited, K&C (Coleherne) Limited and K&C (Osprey) Limited. Both K&C (Coleherne) Limited and K&C (Osprey) Limited were acquired in the previous year. Further details are shown in Note 14. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing consolidated financial statements. Investments Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment. Revenue recognition Rental income from operating leases is recognised on an accruals basis. Rental income received in advance is recognised in deferred income. Revenue of the Group for the year was derived mainly from its principal activity, being the letting to third parties of, and management of, property assets owned by the Group. This income includes rental income, management fees and sales commissions. Also included within income is management fee income derived from the management of property assets owned by third parties. K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 26 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp25-imp 20/10/2017 09:00 Page 27 2. Accounting policies (continued) Separately disclosed administrative items Separately disclosed administrative items are those that are deemed to be exceptional by size or nature in relation to the activities of the Group. In the case of share-based payment charges, these are included because they represent a significant non-cash item. Finance costs Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. Computer equipment – 25% on cost Investment properties Investment properties comprise properties owned by the Group which are held for capital appreciation, rental income or both. Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Investment properties are revalued on acquisition by independent external valuers and then by the directors or independent valuers annually thereafter. Acquisitions and disposals are recognised on exchange of contracts. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Impairment i. Financial assets A financial asset not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that event had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. ii. Financial assets measured at amortised cost The Group considers evidence of impairment for financial assets measured at amortised cost (loans and receivables) at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant assets are assessed for specific impairment. Those found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Assets that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 27 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp25-imp 20/10/2017 09:00 Page 28 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) for the year ended 30 June 2017 2. Accounting policies (continued) In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance against loans and receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised. When an event occurring after the impairment was recognised causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. iii. Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment or when there is an indication of impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, the assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss has been recognised. Financial instruments i. Non-derivative financial assets The Group initially recognises loans and receivables on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position only when the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Group’s non-derivative financial assets comprise loans and receivables. K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 28 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp25-imp 20/10/2017 09:00 Page 29 2. Accounting policies (continued) ii. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables. iii. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits, and other short-term (three months or less) highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value. These are recorded at fair value. iv. Non-derivative financial liabilities The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Other financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables. v. Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity. Taxation Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. As a REIT, the Group is generally not liable to corporation tax. Deferred tax would be recognised in respect a temporary difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is recognised for: – – – temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither the accounting nor taxable profit or loss; temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Accounting policies (continued) Taxation (continued) Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. Share-based payments The Group allows certain individuals to acquire shares in the parent company. The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The fair value of the options granted is measured using an option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The fair value will be charged as an expense in the income statement over the vesting period and the charge is adjusted each year to reflect the expected and actual level of vesting. No adjustment is made to the charge after the vesting date. Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected. K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 30 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp25-imp 20/10/2017 09:00 Page 31 2. Accounting policies (continued) Information about critical estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements and/or have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is as follows: Investment properties The Group’s investment properties are valued, on the basis of market value, on acquisition by independent external valuers and then by the directors or independent valuers annually thereafter. The Group’s investment properties are valued at £7,242,000. The directors are of the opinion that the estimates and assumptions that they have used in the valuation of investment properties are appropriate. Share-based payments The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted. In arriving at the charge for the period, assumptions are made on the number of option likely to be exercised, the current market value of the shares and the volatility of the market value of the shares. Determination of fair values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non- financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. Investment properties The fair value of investment properties is based either on independent professional valuations in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ Appraisal and Valuation Standards 2014 as amended or by the directors, based on market prices for similar items. 3.

The difference is explained below: 2017 2016 £ £ Loss on ordinary activities before taxation (1,224,571) (169,313) Loss on ordinary activities multiplied by the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK of 19.75% (2016 – 20%, 2015 – 20.75%)) (241,853) (33,863) Effects of: – Losses not subject to taxation due to REIT status 241,853 36,651 – Reversal of deferred tax on revaluation of properties in subsidiary – (107,730) Tax credit – (104,942) 9. Loss per share Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Fully diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares adjusted to assume the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. In the opinion of the directors, all of the outstanding share options and warrants are anti-dilutive and, hence, basic and fully diluted loss per share are the same. 2017 Weighted average Per-share number amount Loss £ of shares pence Loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (1,224,571) 49,455,237 (2.48) Effect of dilutive securities – – – K&C REIT plc Annual Report 2017 34 247088 K&C REIT R&A pp25-imp 20/10/2017 09:00 Page 35 9.

The Group considers its capital to comprise equity capital less accumulated losses. The share premium reserve includes premiums received on the issue of share capital during the year. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk is as reported in the statement of financial position. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The contractual maturities of financial liabilities are disclosed in Note 19.

Financial risk management (continued) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and equity prices, will affect the Group and the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. Sensitivity Interest rate sensitivity: At 30 June 2017, if interest rates had been 0.5 percentage points higher and all other variables were held constant, it is estimated that the Group’s loss before tax would increase to £1,238,246 (2016 – £570,735). This is attributable to the Group’s exposure on its borrowings and is based on the change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period. 22.
