Investment Manager Commentary

During Q3 2011 the Company completed two purchases for a total of £13.5m from cash resources.

Dorset St Southampton is a Grade A office built in 2007 and let to Grant Thornton, Santander and Michael Page. The purchase price reflected a yield of 7.9%. The second purchase, completed at the end of the quarter, is a modern office in Crawley, located close to Gatwick airport, built in 2002, and let to Grant Thornton, Amey, and Trade Skills for you ltd. The purchase price reflected a yield of 9.25%.

The two purchases will provide the Company with a good quality income stream that is accretive to the revenue account and secured against strong covenants on good quality assets, however, for Q3 the impact of purchase costs (stamp duty and fees) had a negative impact on the Company's NAV.

The IPD Monthly Index for Q3 (which excludes purchases or sales) showed a total return of 1.9% for the quarter. Over the same period the FTSE All Share Index saw a capital decline of 13.5%. This compares to a total return of 1.4% for the Company's portfolio, and a fall of 14.8% in its share price.
