Interim Report 2001
Chairman's Statement
The Board is pleased to announce the Group's results for the six months ended
30 June 2001. Once again we are pleased to report record NAV per share of
337.0 pence, up 3.5 per cent since 31 December 2000 despite a 7.4 pence per
share reduction caused by foreign exchange movements. Had the NAV been
calculated at the prevailing rates of exchange at 31 August 2001, the
resultant NAV per share would have been 339.7 pence.
The underlying business has continued to perform well. After adjusting for
one off property profits, the inclusion of Citadel and the performance of our
share investment division, our core property profit before tax has increased
by 14.3 per cent from £6.3 million to £7.2 million.
During the first half of the year we have seen the economic environment
becoming more uncertain. We have reacted to this by accelerating the
refinancing of our property portfolio to increase our free cash resources,
which amounted to £79.2 million at 30 June 2001 (up 102.6 per cent since 31
December 2000), and by scaling down our share investment division business.
Financial Highlights
- NAV per share of 337.0 pence, (up 3.5 per cent since 31
December 2000) after external valuation.
- Profit before tax £7.4 million (£13.1 million for the period
to 30 June 2000).
- Core property profit before tax of £7.2 million (up 14.3 per
cent on period to 30 June 2000).
- Share buy-back of 2.4 million shares since 31 December 2000
representing 2.3 per cent of opening share capital
- Further distribution of £5.1 million proposed by way of tender
offer buy-back on the basis of 1 for 60 at 285 pence per share.
- Cash at bank at 30 June 2001 of £79.2 million (30 June 2000:
£31.5 million).
- Potential gross annual rent roll of £75.6 million.

Cover
The comparatives for 30 June 2000 have been restated to reflect the result
from the Investment Division contributing to operating profit. In last year's
interim results announcement, these were included within interest receivable.
A summary of the results for the six months to 30 June 2001 is detailed below:
Financial
The first six months of the year show a continuing increase in our core
property profits to £7.2 million (30 June 2000: £6.3 million). The poor share
investment market and our reduction in exposure to this business has resulted
in a loss of £3.1 million. However, this has been more than offset by
significant property transaction profits, primarily the successful settlement
of an ongoing dispute in Paris (£2.8 million) and the sale of Scriptor Court
(£0.5 million).
The growth in core profit of £0.9 million (14.3 per cent) over the same period
last year is analysed below, having made adjustment for the inclusion of
Citadel Holdings plc as a full subsidiary in 2001, and the exceptional
investment profits made in the six months ended 30 June 2000.

The balance sheet has also strengthened. Net asset value per share of 337.0
pence represents an increase of 3.5 per cent since 31 December 2000, whilst
our continuing programme of refinancing resulted in cash balances of £79.2
million at 30 June 2001 (up 102.6 per cent from 31 December 2000).

Net rental income
Net rental income at £25.4 million is inclusive of the Group's share of joint
venture turnover and has increased by £6.4 million over 30 June 2000. This
reflects the inclusion this year of Citadel Holdings plc as a wholly owned
subsidiary (£4.8 million) and the underlying rising trend in our core
business.
Rental income is shown net of service charges of £1.5 million (30 June 2000: £
1.6 million). As we continue to let the remaining vacant space in the
portfolio, our net rental income should rise to an annualised amount of £53.2
million.
Other property related income
Other property related income of £3.2 million (30 June 2000: £0.6 million)
comprises £2.8 million received in settlement of a dispute in Paris and £0.4
million profit on lease surrenders.
Administrative expenditure
Administrative expenditure of £3.9 million (30 June 2000: £2.6 million)
includes £0.6 million of Citadel Holdings plc overheads for the first time, a
provision of £0.3 million in respect of aborted transaction costs, and a £0.2
million increase in salary costs in respect of a further strengthening of the
management team.
Net property expenses
Net property expenses of £1.6 million (30 June 2000: £0.6 million) includes
amortisation costs of £0.7 million relating to the remaining short lease to
NIG at Elan House, and letting fees and marketing costs in respect of our
Solna refurbishment project.
Gains from sale of investment property
The gain from sale of investment property of £0.5 million is mostly
represented by profit on the disposal of Scriptor Court, Farringdon Road,
London EC1, which was sold in June 2001 for £3.0 million.
Financial income and costs
Interest income at £0.9 million was arrived at after adverse foreign exchange
movements of £0.3 million.
Interest payable of £13.6 million comprises bank interest of £12.9 million,
net interest rate cap depreciation of £0.2 million and depreciation of bank
loan issue costs of £0.5 million. The figure includes additional interest of £
2.3 million reflecting the consolidation of the Citadel Holdings plc
portfolio. The Company's policy is to expense all interest payable and
financial costs to the profit and loss account, including interest incurred in
the funding of refurbishment and development projects.
At the period end floating rate loans totalled £186.3 million. All of our
floating rate debt is hedged by interest rate caps at an average cap rate of
7.9 per cent for Sterling, 6 per cent for Swedish Kronor and 7 per cent for
French franc. Three month LIBOR sterling rate moved from 6.2 per cent at 30
June 2000 to 5.3 per cent at 30 June 2001. The average cost of borrowing for
the UK portion of our debt was 7.7 per cent, inclusive of the cost of interest
rate caps and amortisation of arrangement fees, and 5.5 per cent for the
international element.
Taxation
Within the total charge of £1.0 million is a provision of £0.8 million in
respect of the negotiated settlement in Paris referred to above.
Buy-backs and dividends
In place of a final dividend for 2000 a distribution by way of a tender offer
buy-back was taken up in full in May of this year. With the current share
price remaining at a considerable discount to net asset value we are proposing
an interim distribution of £5.1 million by way of a further tender offer
buy-back of shares on the basis of 285 pence per share for 1 in 60 shares
held. This will enhance net asset value per share and is equivalent in cash
terms to an interim net dividend of 4.75 pence per share (30 June 2000: 3.92
pence per share), an increase of 21.2 per cent.
At 31 December 2000 there were 108,128,651 ordinary shares in issue. Since
that date the Company has purchased 490,000 shares in the market for
cancellation and completed the 2000 year end tender offer buy back of
1,959,211 shares. This has involved a total cash expenditure of £7.3 million
and leaves the number of shares in issue at 30 June 2001 of 106,878,493 after
taking into account the exercise of management options during the half year.
Investment Properties
Tangible Assets, at £682.3 million, have increased by £10.9 million (1.6 per
cent) since 31 December 2000. This is the net effect of a £16.0 million
valuation increase, property additions of £14.7 million (principally
investment in Solna) reduced by adverse foreign exchange movements of £16.5
million, disposals of £2.6 million and short leasehold depreciation of £0.7
million.
Debt Structure
The net borrowings of the Group at 30 June 2001 were £322.2 million (31
December 2000:£ 305.7 million), the increase reflecting the refinancing
referred to above. The strengthening of sterling against the Swedish Kronor
and French Franc reduced the sterling equivalent of foreign currency loans by
£8.8 million.
The fair value of the Group's fixed rate debt was in excess of book value by
an amount of £19.6 million (31 December 2000: £ 26.3 million). The notional
after tax adjustment to NAV, at a corporation tax rate of 30 per cent (31
December 2000: 30 per cent), resulting from holding loans at fair value was £
13.7 million or 12.8 pence per share (31 December 2000: £18.5 million or 17.1
pence per share).
Whilst the FRS13 adjustment is noteworthy the additional interest cost is of
course expensed through the Profit & Loss Account. This excess interest charge
amounted to approximately £1.25 million in the six months to 30 June 2001.
Gearing at 30 June 2001 was 90.6 per cent (31 December 2000: 90.6 per cent).
Property
The valuation of the portfolio at 30 June 2001 shows an increase from the
year-end of £10.9 million, rising from £671.4 million to £682.3 million.
Both our UK and French portfolios are substantially fully let and mostly
reversionary, particularly in Paris. This provides us with significant
security of income. Our development at Solna in Stockholm, Sweden, represents
our only significant ongoing refurbishment project, which is planned on a
phased basis and at which we are making good progress on pre-letting.
UK
Despite the reported slowdown in the UK economy which may have affected demand
for office space in areas such as the Thames Valley, the Group's property
portfolio is almost exclusively within Greater London in locations which have
seen no significant downturn in tenant demand.
Scriptor Court
In June 2001 we sold Scriptor Court, Farringdon Road, EC1 for £3.0 million,
having been purchased by CLS in 1996 for £0.9 million. The property was sold
at an initial yield of 5 per cent and reflected a 20 per cent premium to book
value.
Spring Gardens
Planning consent was granted for an additional 1,016 sq.m. (10,936 sq.ft.) of
offices on the estate and these offices have been prelet to one of the
existing tenants on a ten year lease at a rent of £32 per sq.ft..
The same tenant took an additional 661 sq.m. (7,115 sq. ft.) in unit 6 at a
rent of £33.50 per sq. ft for ten years and at the same time agreed the rent
reviews for December 2001 and March 2002 on three other buildings at rents
varying from £31.50 to £33.50 per sq.ft..
Tinworth Street
A planning application was submitted for a new office building of 9,740 sq.m.
(104,840 sq.ft) gross and 7,548 sq.m. (81,251 sq.ft.) net and negotiations are
proceeding with Lambeth Borough Council.
Great West House
Discussions are being held with Hounslow Borough Council for a new building on
this site, adjacent to the existing buildings, which would provide
approximately 7,900 sq.m. (85,000 sq.ft.) gross of new accommodation.
Cap Gemini
The tenant at Cap Gemini South Bank, Vauxhall has extended its lease which was
to expire in March 2003 for a further six years; this lease now expires in
March 2009. There is a rent review in March 2003. The tenant occupies 10,427
sq.m. (112,235 sq.ft.) and pays a total rent of £1,516,500 per annum
exclusive.
Buspace Studios
An extension of approximately 550 sq.m. (6,000 sq. ft.) has been completed at
this property which increases the net lettable area from 2,500 sq.m. (27,000
sq.ft.) to 3,050 Sq.m. (33,000 sq.ft.), thereby increasing the estimated
rental value by approximately £72,000 per annum exclusive.
Coventry House
Work has now commenced on the creation of 18 flats on the upper floors of this
building
Drury Lane
The rent review of the ground floor and part basement Nightclub was settled
resulting in an increase from £45,000 per annum exclusive to £105,000 per
annum exclusive.
One Leicester Square
The major tenant is in receivership however rent continues to be paid by way
of bank guarantee. An application for assignment of the lease is currently
being considered.
SouthwarkTowers
We remain optimistic for the potential of our 33.33 per cent interest in the
company that owns Southwark Towers. Detailed planning permission for a new
tower designed by Renzo Piano was submitted on 26 March 2001 and we await the
outcome of this application.
Sweden
Solna Business Park
Our refurbishment of Frasaren 11 continues to progress well and is on time
and on budget. Pre-lettings have been announced to Green Cargo AB (owned by
the Swedish State) of 4,000 sq.m. (43,056 sq.ft.) at an average rent of SEK
2,955 per sq.m. (£18 per sq.ft.) for seven years and seven months and an
additional 2,850 sq.m. (30,677 sq.ft.) has been let to an Administrative
Department of the Swedish Government at an average rent of SEK 2,300 per sq.m.
(£14 per sq.ft.) for five years. Strong tenant demand continues to be shown
for available space.
In January of this year planning consent was granted to enable CLS to change
the use of each of the buildings and to construct an additional floor on each
of the buildings. This results in the total floor area of the estate being
increased by 23,480 sq.m. (252,726 sq.ft.) to 131,80 sq.m. (1,410,900 sq.ft.),
thereby increasing the value of this asset significantly.
Other small lettings of vacant space on the estate in the unrefurbished
buildings have also been made at record rental levels
Vanerparken
In May we let an additional 2,330 sq.m. (25,080 sq.ft.) of office and
educational premises to the local college for a term of four and a half years
at an aggregate rent of SEK2,340,000 (£152,590) per annum. At the same time
the tenant extended their existing lease at a current rent of SEK3,664,309 (£
238,947) per annum which expired on 30 June 2003 to a new expiry date of 30
June 2006 making it co-terminus with the new accommodation.
France
The letting and investment markets in France continue to perform well and we
have announced several lettings showing record rents within our buildings.
These include a letting to GEFCO, a subsidiary of PSA Peugeot Citroen at a
rent of Frf. 2,850 per sq.m. (£24.35 per sq.ft.) in 56 Boulevard de la
Mission Marchand to the west of Paris which showed an increase of 113 per cent
over the previous rent payable; as well as a letting to TEVA Pharma, a
Nasdaq quoted company, at a rent of Frf. 3,000 per sq.m. (£25.64 per sq.ft.)
at 53-55 rue du Captaine Guynemer and this showed an increase of 162 per cent
over the previous rent payable.
In our view, existing passing rents from the French portfolio are nearly 40
per cent below market rents. In due course rents will increase to reflect
market levels and this will enhance our cash inflows and uplift the capital
value of the portfolio.
In February we announced the purchase of two buildings, one to the west of
Paris at 5 Boulevard Marcel Pourtout, Rueil Malmaison for Frf. 18,500,000 (£
1.698 million) showing an initial yield of 9 per cent. The second building,
Chorus, located in Nova-Antipolis, Antibes in the South of France purchased at
a cost of Frf 37 million (£3.396 million) to show a net initial yield of 9.7
per cent. These properties show a return on equity of 22.0 per cent and 23.9
per cent per annum respectively.

The above table shows the categories of assets we own and the future potential
income available from new lettings and refurbishments.
(*) Yields based on receivable rent and potential rents have been calculated on
the assumption that year end book values will increase by anticipated
refurbishment expenditure of £4.47 million in respect of projects in the UK.
(**)Yields based on receivable rent and potential rents have been calculated on
the assumption that year-end book values will increase by anticipated
refurbishment expenditure of £60.6 million in respect of projects in Solna,
Stockholm, Sweden.
(***) This represents existing rents lost on space to be refurbished.
In addition to the above rental shown, we estimate that open market rents are £
10.8 million higher than rent receivable (excluding additional rents we will
receive as a result of our refurbishment programme).
Investment Division
Poor investment markets have adversely affected this division's results.
During the period we have rationalised our portfolio and sold a number of our
listed investments, which have realised losses at 30 June 2001. We believe a
number of our unlisted investments still have significant potential and we are
concentrating our efforts on these opportunities whilst proceeding to dispose
of our other investments. We do not currently have any plans to make further
investments in this area. The book value of our investments at 30 June 2001
has reduced to £8.0 million representing only 2.2 per cent of our net assets
(31 December 2000: £10.6 million).
Conclusion
Having produced a satisfactory first half result we approach the remainder of
the year with confidence. We have a strong balance sheet and a well-let
portfolio that is being actively managed and our substantial cash reserves
enable us to continue to take advantage of attractive opportunities as and
when they arise.
Our investment in Solna is a significant element in the future growth in the
property portfolio. I am pleased to say that our plans here are progressing
well as evidenced by the strong interest being shown in the property by
prospective tenants.
At today's date the Group's aggregate annual contracted rent roll stands at £
51.8 million, with a further £13.1million projected to be receivable as we let
vacant space and complete the re-development of Solna. This will provide the
fuel for further growth.
