STANDARD LIFE INVESTMENTS PROPERTY INCOME TRUST LIMITED
30 June 07 - Portfolio Sale and Net Asset Value Announcement
The company has exchanged contracts for the sale of a portfolio of six
properties for the sum of £41.5m, with completion due at the end of July. The
sale price is the same as the June valuation. The sale proceeds will be used in
part to reduce gearing with the remainder to be reinvested as suitable
investment opportunities arise.
The unaudited Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share of Standard Life Investments
Property Income Trust Limited at 30 June 2007 was 137.16 pence each, calculated
under an adjusted International Financial Reporting Standards basis. This is an
increase of 2.0 percentage points over the adjusted IFRS Net Asset Value of
134.42 pence at 31 March 2007. This Net Asset Value figure incorporates the
external portfolio valuation at 30 June 2007. The adjusted Net Asset Value
includes a provision for payment of a proposed interim dividend of 1.69p per
ordinary share and also adds back a provision for deferred taxation as the Board
believes this liability will not crystallise.
The property portfolio will next be valued by an external valuer during
September 2007 and the next quarterly Net Asset Value will be published in
early October 2007.
The unaudited IFRS Net Asset Value is calculated as follows:
