Investment Manager Commentary During Q1 the Company issued new shares under the live prospectus, raising £ 25.5m. This fully utilised the capacity of the prospectus, and enabled the Company to complete on the purchase of a retail warehouse in Preston for £ 15.8m. The property is let to DSG (Dixons) for a further 16 years. The purchase price reflected a yield of 7%. We also completed the sale of a small office in Weybridge that had a lease expiry in February this year. The sale price was £ 3.2m. During the quarter we started on site with the refurbishment of 6 industrial units at Ocean Trade Centre in Aberdeen. The total cost will be circa £1.4m and we are close to completing a new 10 year lease on 4 of the units. We are also working up a refurbishment and upgrade of our office investment at White Bear Yard in Farringdon, at a potential cost of £2.5m. This building is in a very desirable area and we want to capitalise on the strong tenant demand. We expect the UK real estate market to provide a total return of low double digits in 2015. Although this is attractive it will fall short of the exceptional returns experienced in 2014.This growth is in part due to continued strong investment demand driven by a weight of money in the sector, but with the continued improvement in occupier demand as well throughout the UK we can expect to see more rental growth than in 2014. It is not envisaged that the election will have a material impact on demand, and we intend to continue investing in good quality real estate that appeals to occupiers. The Company had an occupation rate of 97.5% as at the quarter end, with solicitors instructed on two further lettings, and the average unexpired lease term (to earliest termination) has increased to 7.1 years. Cash position As at 31 March 2015 the Company had borrowings of £84.4mand a cash position of £17.4m (excluding rent deposits) therefore cash as a percentage of debt was 20.6%. Dividends The Company paid an interim dividend in respect of the quarter ended 31December 2014, of 1.161p per Ordinary Share, with ex-dividend and payment dates of5 February 2015and 20 February 2015respectively. Loan to value and interest rate As at 31 March 2015 the loan to value ratio (assuming all cash is placed with RBS as an offset to the loan balance) was 23.4% (31December 2014: 29.3%). The bank covenant level is 65%.As a result of interest rate swaps the weighted average interest rate on the loan is fixed at 3.7% until the loan matures in December 2018. The Company has two interest rate hedges which mature in December 2018 and have a current liability of £2.9m (31 December 2014: £2.7m).These had a negative impact on the NAV of 0.1p per share or 0.1% over the quarter.
