Review for the Period In a difficult quarter for commercial property, the Company's net asset value total return was -4.9%. The majority of the negative return can be attributed to the portfolio performance discussed below, however, a drop in the 10 year swap rate has reduced the value of the Company's cash flow hedge, and was responsible for -0.9% of total return. The share price total return was +0.1%, with the discount reducing from 21.4% at 30 June 2007 to 17.5% at the quarter end. The exceptional returns which have been enjoyed by the UK commercial property market in recent years have slowed significantly. Yield compression, which has been a key driver of returns, has now come to a halt with this trend being reversed in the last quarter. In September all sectors of the property market experienced reductions in capital values as yields were marked out for the first time since December 2001. The IPD Monthly Index showed a negative return of 1.0% over the quarter, although total returns for property over the last 12 months were +7.2%. This correction in pricing has been seen in a period of relatively few transactions. Against this background, the Company's property portfolio returned -2.4% during the quarter. The capital value of the Company's properties fell by 3.5% with the standard retail element of the portfolio seeing the largest fall at 4.7%. On 28 August 2007, the Company purchased the freehold interest in 1-2 Lochside Way, Edinburgh Park, Edinburgh for £14.4m, reflecting a net initial yield to the Company of 5.5%. The property is an office building situated on one of Scotland's premier out-of-town business parks. The accommodation comprises 42,401 sq ft, together with 143 car spaces. The property is let to HSBC Securities Services (UK) Ltd, with a guarantee from HSBC Bank plc, on two leases expiring in August 2014 at £837,380 per annum. The next review is due on 29 August 2009. The purchase is in line with the strategy to seek prime investments, well let to good tenant covenants. Following the purchase, the Company's net gearing has increased, to 26.2% of total assets from 18.3% as at 30 June 2007. The portfolio enjoys a secure income stream from relatively low risk tenants (as measured by IPD) together with an average unexpired lease term of 9.0 years. The void rate in the portfolio currently stands at 2.0%, which is below the IPD average of 7.2%. The level of vacant property has increased from June as a result of lease expiries but this provides opportunities to add value. At Colnbrook, Unit 6 has become available and will be refurbished prior to marketing. In addition a floor has become available at 48/9 St James's Street London SW1. This will also be refurbished which will see an increase in the estimated rental value of the building.
