INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

Principal Activity and Business review

The Company's principal activity is that of Private Finance Initiative Concessionaire for the South Tees Acute Hospitals Single Site Project, under the terms of a Concession Agreement dated 16 August 1999 between the Company and South Tees Acute Hospitals National Health Service Trust ('the Trust').

The Company's Concession Agreement requires it to finance, design, develop and construct and then maintain and part operate the enlarged hospital following completion of new facilities and certain other work. The concession is intended to continue for a period of 30 years after hospital completion which occurred on 16 July 2003, and the project is now in its operational phase.

The Company's operations are managed under the supervision of its shareholders and funders and are largely determined by the detailed terms of the Concession Agreement. For this reason, the Company's Directors believe that further key performance indicators for the Company are not necessary or appropriate for an understanding of the performance or position of the Company.

The Company is obliged to meet the conditions laid down in the Bond Trust Deed and Collateral Deed. To the best of the Directors' knowledge the Company has met all of the obligations contained within these Deeds and there have been no Events of Default, Potential Events of Default or Trigger Events with regards to these Deeds.

The Company is obliged to maintain a rating with Moody's. Moody's affirmed the rating during the period and the Company considers the rating given to it satisfactory.

Financial performance and financial position

Income for the period of GBP19.499m (2014: GBP20.661m) and operating profit of GBP3.573m (2014: GBP4.204m) were in line with expectations.

Profit before tax is GBP3.349m (2014: GBP4.313m), and after an increase in the deferred tax provision of GBP0.48m, profit after tax was GBP2.780m (2014: GBP3.534m).

In the opinion of the Directors, the project has achieved satisfactory performance in the period under review.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Availability

Investment in the Project is funded primarily by Index Linked Secured Guaranteed Bonds ('the Bonds') and subordinated unsecured loan stock. During the operational phase the principal source of funds available to meet its liabilities under the Bonds will be Availability Payments received from the Trust under the Concession Agreement. Failure to achieve the forecast levels of availability would result in lower than forecast revenues and this may adversely affect the Company's ability to make payments to Bondholders. There have been no deductions for unavailability in the periods covered by these financial statements.

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT (continued)

Principal risks and uncertainties (continued)

Major Maintenance

The Company is obliged under the Concession Agreement to undertake major maintenance and plant/equipment replacement so that it continues to satisfy the standards required. There are a number of factors which could lead to higher than projected costs, such as shorter than anticipated life spans or increased inflation on specific items of plant and equipment or worse than expected condition of the residual estate. This risk has been mitigated through contractual arrangements with the subcontractor undertaking this work, as 25% of the risk of asset failure is shared with the subcontractor.

Service Performance

The Soft Services and Maintenance Services are monitored against agreed objective measures. Ultimately, poor performance may result in the Trust having the right to terminate the Concession Agreement. There have been no deductions for poor performance in the periods covered in these financial statements.

Trust Status and Performance

Failure by the Trust to perform its obligations may affect the Company's ability to meet its liabilities to Bondholders. However the Trust's obligations under the Concession Agreement are underwritten by the Secretary of State for Health.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED UNAUDITED INTERIM ACCOUNTS

FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2015

   1.    Accounting policies 

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items that are considered material in relation to the Company's Condensed Unaudited Interim Financial Statements.

   a)     Basis of preparation 

The Condensed Unaudited Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and under the historical cost basis or the fair value basis where the fair valuing of relevant assets and liabilities has been applied.

   b)     Finance debtor 

Costs incurred in building the acute hospital have been treated as a finance debtor as, in the opinion of the Directors, the Trust enjoys substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Unitary charges received from the Trust are allocated between services income, interest receivable and the repayment of the finance debtor using a property specific rate so as to generate a constant rate of return in respect of the finance debtor over the life of the concession.

The finance debtor also includes accrued services income representing the difference between cumulative services income recognised in the profit and loss account and the Unitary Charge invoiced to the Trust.

Costs incurred in respect of Variation works over the course of the contract are added to the finance debtor with related contributions from the Trust being credited to it.

   c)     Turnover 

Unitary charges are allocated between service income, interest receivable on the finance debtor and reimbursement of the finance debtor so as to generate a constant return in respect of the finance debtor over the life of the contract.

Turnover reflects the income allocated to the services provided as part of the overall project, and the interest receivable on the finance debtor.

A margin is applied to costs charged to the profit and loss account to calculate the service income credited to the profit and loss account. This margin is calculated as total income forecast to be receivable over the concession, less all life cycle and other operating costs forecast to be payable over the concession.

   d)     Debt issue costs 

Issue costs in respect of the Company's debt are recognised over the life of the debt using the effective interest rate method and are deducted from the carrying value of the related debt.

   e)     Deferred tax 

As required by FRS 19 "Deferred Tax", full provision is made for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from all timing differences between the recognition of gains and losses in the Condensed Unaudited Interim Financial Statements and recognition in the tax computation, except for those timing differences in respect of which the standard specifies that deferred tax should not be recognised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to be effective at the time the timing differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax balances are not discounted.

FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2015

Accounting policies (continued)

   f)      Life cycle costs 

The estimated cost of the Company's obligation to maintain the hospital over the period of its agreement with the Trust is charged to the profit and loss account as the obligation arises. A provision has been included in the balance sheet in relation to such life cycle maintenance costs on the basis that an obligation exists under the Project Agreement to carry out such works to ensure that the estate meets the require standards at any given point in time.

   g)     Capitalised interest 

The interest cost of financing the Company's obligations under its Concession Agreement during the construction phase has been capitalised and was included in the value of assets during the course of construction prior to reclassification as a finance debtor.

   h)     Financial Instruments 

Financial instruments are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The principal financial assets and liabilities of the Company are as follows:

Trade debtors

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and then are stated at amortised cost.

Cash at bank

Cash at bank is carried in the balance sheet at nominal value.

Trade creditors

Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and then are stated at amortised cost.

Bank and other borrowings

Interest bearing bank loans, bonds, subordinated debt and other loans are recognised initially at fair value. All borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost with the difference between initial net proceeds and redemption value recognised in the profit and loss account over the period to redemption.

Finance debtor

The finance debtor is classified as loans and receivables as defined in paragraph 9 of FRS 26, which are initially recognised at fair value and then are stated at amortised cost.

      i)     Accounting estimates and judgements 

In applying the accounting policies detailed above, decisions sometimes have to be made as to the likely outcome of future events. Those judgements and estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions that the Directors believe reasonable in the circumstances. The Directors consider the key judgements and estimates made in preparing the financial statements to have been those relating to the calculation of the margin applied to costs in recognising revenue and the recognition of life cycle costs. These judgements and estimates are discussed in more detail above.

11. Creditors: amounts falling due after more than one year (continued)

GBP137,400,000 secured index linked bonds 2031 were created on 16 August 1999 of which GBP128,900,000 were issued and sold at 99.992%. The bonds bear interest at 3.607% per annum of their principal amount outstanding. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on 28 March and 28 September. The amount of principal outstanding from time to time is subject to indexation in accordance with the terms of the Bond Trust Deed.

The Company retained GBP8,500,000 index linked bonds 2031 ("variation bonds") which it could sell, subject to certain restrictions in the Collateral Deed, to finance contingencies. On 30 November 2000 the Company sold GBP5,000,000 of the variation bonds to fund variations on the hospital construction contract.

The remaining GBP3,500,000 of unsold Variation Bonds were cancelled on 14 February 2009 by the Principal Paying Agent, as instructed by the issuer and in accordance with the Bond Trust Deed and the Paying Agency Agreement.

The bonds are repayable in instalments which commenced in March 2005 and should end in March 2031.

The Company's secured creditors have the benefit of first ranking charges granted by the Company over the whole of its investments, undertaking, property, assets, insurances and rights under certain contracts, both present and future, together with a first ranking charge over all of the ordinary shares of the Company and the Company's subordinated loan stock and those of its holding Company, Endeavour SCH Holdings Limited.

Unsecured Loan Stock 2032 (Subordinated debt)

The Company is a wholly beneficially owned subsidiary of Endeavour SCH Holdings Limited. The beneficial owners of the holding company are Innisfree M & G PPP LP, through its nominee Innisfree Nominees Limited and Semperian PPP Investment Partners N(o) 2 Limited.

On 16 August 1999, the Company and Endeavour SCH Holdings Limited created GBP23,060,000 unsecured Loan Notes 2032, constituted under Deed Polls entered into on the same date. On 30 November 2000 a further GBP1,400,000 of Loan Notes were created to fund variations required on the construction contract.

Under the terms of an Equity Subscription Agreement dated 16 August 1999 as amended on 30 November 2000, the Shareholders of the holding Company agreed to subscribe for Loan Stock of Endeavour SCH Holdings Limited to the value of GBP24,460,000. Endeavour SCH Holdings Limited in turn agreed to subscribe for up to GBP24,460,000 of the Loan Stock of the Company. The proceeds of the stock issue are being used by the Company to finance its obligations under its contract with the Trust.

A proposal by the shareholders to change the payment profile of outstanding subordinated debt principal has been approved by the FCA. The final principal payment becomes GBP14,914,349 which was the amount outstanding at 30 September 2015. Interest will be calculated on this outstanding principal, and will continue to be paid twice yearly as normal.

The Notes are repayable as follows:

As at 30 September 2015 and at 31 March 2014

 
                              2015

As the 3.607% index linked secured bonds are partially linked with the Retail Price Index, the instrument has been categorised as floating rate debt in the above table. The underlying principal of the bonds is index linked and the 3.607% fixed interest element of the instrument is also index linked. Total liabilities shown above comprise the gross amount of the bonds in issue and the subordinated debt.

The directors do not believe there has been a material change in the above information from the audited balance sheet date to 30 September 2015 that would affect the users of the Condensed Unaudited Interim financial statements.

   13.     Financial instruments 

All information in this note represents the audited balance sheet as at 31 March 2015. The directors do not believe there has been a material change in this information that would affect the users of the Condensed Unaudited Interim financial statements;

All of the Company's financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost and all of the company's financial assets are classified as loans and receivables.

Financial Assets

The Company has one long term financial asset being the finance debtor (see note 8). This asset yields interest at a fixed rate of 7% per annum over the term of the lease, of which 20 years of the primary period are remaining.

   13.     Financial instruments (continued) 

Financial Risk Management Policies and Objectives

The Company's principal financial instruments comprise short term cash deposits, index linked bonds and a subordinated loan. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to ensure, via the terms of the financial instruments, that the profile of the debt service costs is tailored to match expected revenues arising from the Concession Agreement.

The Company does not undertake financial instrument transactions which are speculative or unrelated to the Company's trading activities. Board approval is required for the use of any new financial instrument, and the Company's ability to do so is restricted by covenants in its existing funding agreements.

Exposure to liquidity, credit and interest rate risks are in the normal course of the Company's business.

Liquidity Risk

Repayments of the index linked bonds and the subordinated loan are tailored to match expected revenue receivable under the terms of the Concession Agreement, so ensuring sufficient funds are available when repayments are due.

The following table sets out the timing of expected future cash flows, including interest payments, in respect of the Company's long term debtors and loan balances:
