Share Dealing The Company's Ordinary shares are
quoted on the PLUS market and persons
can buy or sell shares through their
stockbroker.
Share Price The middle market price of the
Ordinary shares were quoted at 31
December 2010 on the PLUS Market at
22.5p pence per share (2009: 22.5
pence per share)
Chairman's statement
The loss before tax in the year was £71,497 compared with a loss of £25,688 for
2009.
As expected 2010 has proved a difficult year, gross profit has reduced due to
the tenants break options being exercised on 14 St Sampson's Square York and 11
Newborough Scarborough. This has led to a decrease in revenue as well as an
increase in administrative expenses and cost of sales. I am pleased to report
that both these properties have now been successfully relet, albeit in the case
of 11 Newborough on a short term commitment only.
The directors continue to assess a wide range of opportunities to enhance
shareholder value, but remain cautious in their approach. We are maintaining a
tight control of the Company's cash resources, which we consider adequate to
support current levels of expenditure, although we keep them under constant
review.
The property valuation as at 31 March 2008 incorporated in the 2009 accounts
resulted in a write down of 21.85% which was considered by the directors at the
time to be conservative. The directors are of the opinion that it is
appropriate to leave the values unchanged for the purpose of these accounts
Notwithstanding the loss for the year, the Board considers it appropriate to
recommend the payment of a dividend subject to approval at the forthcoming
Annual General Meeting at the rate of 2.5% (half penny per share) which will
cost £9,853.
The annual general meeting will take place at the Royal Automobile Club, 89
Pall Mall London, SW1Y 5HS on the 24 May 2011 at 11 a.m., and the directors
look forward to meeting those shareholders, who can attend.

Directors' report
The directors present their directors' report and financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2010.
Principal activities
The principal activity of Secured Property Developments plc is investment in
commercial property. The group comprises the holding company, a finance company
and a second property company.
Business review
The results for the year are set out on page 9 of these consolidated financial
statements.
The group's investment properties are let at rents commensurate with local
market conditions and on terms that include periodic upwards adjustment,
financed by medium-term borrowings.
Derivatives and other financial instruments
The group's financial instruments comprise borrowings, some cash and liquid
resources, convertible unsecured loan stock and various items, such as trade
debtors and trade creditors, that arise directly from its operations. The main
purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the group's
operations.
The main risks arising from the group's financial instruments are interest rate
risk and liquidity risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing
each of these risks and they are summarised below. These policies have remained
unchanged since the beginning of 2002.
Interest rate risk
The group finances its operations through bank borrowings. Currently the group
borrows at a rate of interest fixed by a swap agreement on all its borrowings.
The group's policy is to borrow at the lowest rates for periods that do not
carry excessive time premiums.
Liquidity risk
As regards liquidity, the group's policy has throughout the year been to ensure
that the group is able at all times to meet its financial commitments as and
when they fall due. The maturity dates of the various loans to the group are
set out in note 15 of these financial statements.
Proposed dividend and transfer to reserves
The directors recommend the payment of a dividend of ½ penny per share, payable
on 22 June 2011 to those on the register of shareholders at the close of
business on 16 May 2011.
The loss for the year retained in the group is £71,497 (2009: loss £25,688).

Statement of directors' responsibilities in respect of the Directors' Report
and the financial statements
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' 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 they have elected to prepare the group and
parent company financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards
and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 group and parent company and of their profit or loss for that
period. In preparing each of the group and parent company financial statements,
the directors are required to:
* select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
* make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
* state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed,
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial
statements;
* prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the group and the parent company will
continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are
sufficient to show and explain the parent company's transactions and disclose
with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the parent
company and enable them to ensure that its financial statements comply with the
Companies Act 2006. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as
are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the group and to prevent
and detect fraud and other irregularities.

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

page 6, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial
statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our

in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK
and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices
Board's (APB's) Ethical Standards for Auditors.
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
A description of the scope of an audit of financial statements is provided on
the APB's web-site at www.frc.org.uk/apb/scope/private.cfm.
Opinion on financial statements
In our opinion the financial statements:
* give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and the parent
company's affairs as at 31 December 2010 and of the group's loss for the
year then ended;
* have been properly prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice; and
* have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act
2006.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial
year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the
financial statements.
Independent auditor's report to the members of Secured Property Developments
plc (continued)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the

returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not
visited by us; or

accounting records and returns; or
* certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not
made; or

Notes to the financial statements
(forming part of the financial statements)
1. Accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing
with items which are considered material in relation to the financial
statements, except as noted below.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
accounting rules as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and in
accordance with applicable accounting standards. The financial statements are
in compliance with the Companies Act 2006 except that, as noted below,
investment properties are not depreciated.
Basis of consolidation
The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Secured
Property Developments plc and its subsidiary undertakings. These financial
statements are made up to 31 December 2010.
Unless otherwise stated, the acquisition method of accounting has been adopted.
Under this method, the results of subsidiary and associated undertakings
acquired or disposed of in the year are included in the consolidated profit and
loss account from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal.
In accordance with s408 of the Companies Act 2006 Secured Property Developments
plc is exempt from the requirement to present its own profit and loss account.
The result for the financial year dealt with in the financial statements of
Secured Property Developments plc is disclosed in note 18 to these financial
statements.
Going concern
The directors have considered the future profitability of the company and its
ability to continue as a going concern and have prepared profit and cash flow
forecasts into the future. Based on these projections the directors are
satisfied that, for the foreseeable future, the company can meet its working
capital requirements. Consequently the financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis.
Investment properties
In accordance with SSAP 19, depreciation is not charged on investment
properties held by the group. This is a departure from the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006 which requires all properties to be depreciated. Such
properties are not held for consumption but for investment and the directors
consider that to depreciate them would not give a true and fair view.
Investment properties are revalued annually by the directors and periodic
external valuations are completed when considered necessary, usually over a
five year period. The aggregate surplus or deficit is transferred to a
revaluation reserve. The directors consider that this policy results in the
accounts giving a true and fair view.
Taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the profit for the year and takes into
account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment
of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax is
recognised without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between
the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes which have
arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except as otherwise required
by Financial Reporting Standard 19.
Classification of financial instruments issued by the Group
Following the adoption of FRS 25, financial instruments issued by the Group are
treated as equity (i.e. forming part of shareholders' funds) only to the extent
that they meet the following two conditions:
* they include no contractual obligations upon the Company (or Group as the
case may be) to deliver cash or other financial assets or to exchange
financial assets or financial liabilities with another party under
conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Company (or Group); and
* where the instrument will or may be settled in the Company's own equity
instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to
deliver a variable number of the Company's own equity instruments or is a
derivative that will be settled by the Company's exchanging a fixed amount
of cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity
instruments.
To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are
classified as a financial liability. Where the instrument so classified takes
the legal form of the Company's own shares, the amounts presented in these
financial statements for called up share capital and share premium account
exclude amounts in relation to those shares.
Finance payments associated with financial liabilities are dealt with as part
of interest payable and similar charges. Finance payments associated with
financial instruments that are classified as part of shareholders' funds, are
dealt with as appropriations in the reconciliation of movements in
shareholders' funds.
Cash and liquid resources
Cash, for the purpose of the cash flow statement, comprises cash in hand and
deposits repayable on demand, less overdrafts payable on demand.
Turnover
Turnover represents the amounts (excluding value added tax) derived from rental
income from investment properties and from interest earned on loans during the
year.
2. Turnover
Turnover and profit on ordinary activities before taxation are attributable to
the principal activities of the group.
Turnover was derived from the activities of the group as follows:

Rental income from investment properties 134,948 151,201

received fees of £24,550 (2009: £16,050) which was paid to his employer in
respect of his services (see note 22).

Group and company
The directors re-assessed the investment properties of the Group on 31 December
2010. The re-assessment took account of a professional revaluation of both the
Scarborough and York properties by Chartered Surveyors Atis Real UK Ltd, as at
31 March 2008. Both external valuations were completed in accordance with the
current edition of the Practice Statements and Guidance Notes of the Appraisal
and Valuation Standards prepared by the Royal Institution of Chartered
Surveyors.
The valuation of 31st March 2008 resulted in a write down of the Group's
property values by 21.85% and was considered at the time by the Directors to be
conservative. The Directors are of the opinion that it is appropriate to leave
the values unchanged for the purpose of these accounts.
