Investment Property Databank - Update to December 2000

Progress Report No 2, 19 February 2001



At this point in the update, we have collected end-2000 capital value
information from all clients. The records on capital and revenue flows for
some funds are now being completed, and all inputs being checked. These
provisional figures are therefore based on unconfirmed data for those funds
which have already provided complete information.  It is not possible to
estimate how close to these provisional results the final 2000 figure is
likely to be. The later stages of the update towards the end of February can
have significant effects on the bottom line.
