As a result, we are now focused on creating a £1.2 billion commercial property portfolio across Central and Eastern Europe. We continue to see opportunities to acquire properties as well as selecting regeneration and development opportunities providing attractive total returns to our investors. Our asset manager, Dawnay, Day PanTerra, is highly regarded within our chosen markets and we believe this gives us a significant competitive advantage.' Enquiries: Dawnay, Day PanTerra Paul Rogers 020 7834 8060 Balazs Csepregi Cardew Group Tim Robertson 020 7930 0777 Catherine Maitland Chairman's Statement I am pleased to report that the Group has continued to make excellent progress in acquiring an attractive portfolio of retail properties in Central and Eastern Europe in line with our objectives set at Admission. Since the year end, the Company has announced its intention to raise approximately £100 million (before expenses) by means of the Placing of 83,333,334 new ordinary shares ('the Placing Shares') at 120p per share, which together with the funds raised at the time of Admission, means the Company has raised gross proceeds of £240 million. As a result, the Company is now aiming to build a portfolio worth approximately £1.2 billion. The net proceeds of the Placing will be used to fund the Company's continuing investment programme and new business opportunities including the development and regeneration of properties while maintaining our focus on income generation. The Placing is conditional upon the passing of resolutions by shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for 17 May 2007. Dealings in the Placing Shares are expected to commence on or around 18 May 2007. As at 31 December 2006, the Company had acquired property investments costing a total of £332.8 million with an annualised rent roll in excess of £26.1 million and a blended net initial yield of 7.9%. Our investment strategy has evolved in response to a developing market environment, and while we continue to focus predominantly on income generating assets, a substantial number of forward commitment opportunities exist which the Company is seeking to pursue. The Company believes its experience in its chosen markets creates a significant competitive advantage and we are confident of continuing to generate excellent shareholder value. Financial Results During the period under review, the Company acquired 35 retail properties in 10 acquisitions for a total of approximately £249.5 million. The net rental and related income for the period was £12.7 million. The Company overall generated a profit before tax of £46.8 million. Adjusted profit before tax, which excludes any revaluation surplus, was £10.0 million. The basic earnings per share of the Company were 21.1 pence. Adjusted earnings per share, which excludes any revaluation surplus, were 5.78 pence. As at 31 December 2006, the Company's borrowings totalled £254.2 million representing a loan to value ratio of 69%. The loans secured against the properties are denominated in euros and have an average weighted interest rate of 5.28% for the period. All loan agreements have hedging instruments in place minimising the impact of the interest rate risk, by swapping the variable Euribor rate to an average fixed rate of 3.51%. Dividends As announced on 24 April 2007, the Board has declared, subject to shareholder approval, a final dividend in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2006 of 4p per share ('the Final Dividend'), representing a total dividend for that year of 6p in line with our dividend target set at Admission. The record date for the Final Dividend is 4 May 2007 and it will be paid on 25 May 2007. The Board has also declared a first interim dividend in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2007 ('the First Interim Dividend') of 3.33p per share. The Placing Shares do not qualify for the Final Dividend and the First Interim Dividend but they will qualify for any further dividends, including the one remaining interim dividend, together with the final dividend for the financial year ended 31 December 2007, which is intended to result in an aggregate dividend payment of 10p per share for that financial year. It is the Directors' intention to continue to provide investors with substantial dividends in addition to the confirmed potential for capital growth. In this regard and as announced on 2 April 2007, the Board has also confirmed that it targets a dividend of 10p per share for the year ending December 2008. Revaluation and Net Asset Value As announced on 12 March 2007, the portfolio has been valued as at 31 December 2006 at £368.7 million by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited ('DTZ'), giving a net uplift of £36.8 million compared to the 31 December 2005 valuation (or the purchase price if acquired thereafter). The net asset value per share, adjusted to exclude goodwill and any deferred tax liabilities arising on the property valuations, has risen to 126.7p from 98.2p, an increase of 29%. Non adjusted, net asset value per share has risen to 114.2p from 97.4p at 31 December 2005, an increase of 17.2%.

These extensions could be realised by individual asset management strategies spanning two to three years. Differences between the purchase price and the DTZ valuation at 31 December 2006 at individual property level vary due to the length of actual ownership of each property. The Antana Logistic Park and the Ericsson Office Building complex were acquired with the intention of implementing regeneration projects to maximise their future value while providing attractive income yields at present. The Company's property advisor, Dawnay, Day PanTerra ('DDPT') has expanded its team of professional personnel focused upon Central and Eastern Europe from 7 to 24 since Admission, and it now has an established local presence in Warsaw, with significant expertise, including a team of five property professionals. Following the successful completion of the Placing, the Company will have the opportunity to significantly expand its portfolio, and DDPT has identified a strong pipeline of potential transactions across the Company's target geographies. The pipeline contains a mix of income producing assets as well as development opportunities. It is expected that future acquisitions will take the Company into new markets such as Bulgaria and expand its existing presence in countries such as Romania and Lithuania. The new funds raised have positioned the Company to capitalise upon the excellent opportunities that DDPT has identified. Outlook The Company has delivered on its targets set out at Admission. Upon successful completion of the secondary Placing, we will be focused on creating a £1.2 billion property portfolio across Central and Eastern Europe. This growth potential and wide geographic coverage are strategically important to be competitive and successful. The macroeconomic environment remains favourable and we expect to continue to be able to acquire attractive income producing assets, together with selective regeneration projects. The excellent pipeline of potential acquisitions provides the Board with confidence that the Company will continue to generate an excellent mix of income and capital growth.
