WALLS & FUTURES REIT PLC
("Walls & Futures" or the "Company")
Half Year Results for the period to 30 September 2021
Directorate Change
Walls & Futures REIT plc ("WAFR") the Ethical Housing Investor and developer, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the six months to 30 September 2021.
Highlights
-- Net Asset Value (NAV) down 5.8% to 96p per share (Mar 2021 102p per share)
-- 100% of Specialist Supported Housing rents collected
-- Loss of GBP200,677
Chief Executive's Statement
While the defence of the unsolicited offer from Virgata Services was successful, the direct cost has led to charge of approximately GBP169,000, approximately 85% of the loss for the period.
Despite the ongoing economic challenges affecting the property market by Covid-19, 100% of our Specialist Supported Housing rents have been collected.
Post the 30 September 2021, we have successfully disposed of our final Private Rental Sector (PRS) property for GBP662,500 reflecting a premium of 1.9% to its valuation as dated 31 March 2021. The proceeds will be invested into further Specialist Supported Housing projects.
We are reviewing several Specialist Supported Housing investment opportunities, and are confident that future projects will, like our existing projects in the sector, make a significant positive impact on both our net asset value and revenue.
The design work on our bespoke home for autism is now complete and we are finalising the marketing materials to launch in the New Year.
We also announce David White will step down from the board as of the 31 December 2021 to focus on other business interests. We thank him for his efforts and wish him all the best in his new endeavours.
We are delighted to welcome Keisha Robinson to the board as of the 1 January 2022. Keisha brings a broad range of complementary skills to the board which will be of great importance as we roll out our bespoke home for autism. Further information regarding Kiesha's appointment are set out below following the half-yearly financial statements
