Commenting on the Results, Richard Burrell, Investment Manager to the Company,
said:
'We are pleased with the development of the Company during its first year. We
have acquired 46 properties to date and we have a strong pipeline of potential
acquisitions and developments.
The new GP contract introduced in 2004 promotes premises flexibility and scale
and with the shift from secondary care to primary care we see significant
opportunities for more medical providers (e.g. pharmacy) to co-locate within our
premises.
The Company is well placed to participate in the trend towards the development
of larger health care centres and further LIFT consolidation. We consider this
will be a key driver of shareholder value and as a result, more resources are
being allocated to this part of the business.
We are on track to deliver the asset-backed income growth and over the next 12
months we will continue to focus on building the Company's portfolio of
properties and developments.'
