AGM Statement
First Property Group plc ('the Company') (AIM: FPO), the property asset
management business and online commercial property transaction platform
announces that at its AGM today, its chairman, Alasdair Locke, will read the
following statement:
'Since the beginning of the year the Company has continued to make considerable
progress.
'Our asset management division has been extremely busy and, since the
announcement of our annual results in June 2006, has acquired a further €30
million of assets and contracted to acquire an additional €13 million in Central
Europe, primarily on behalf of the fund we manage for the Universities
Superannuation Scheme. Total assets under management now exceed £75 million.
'As anticipated and highlighted at the time of our last full year results, our
underwriting and trading activities have reduced but the division has
nevertheless had a good first half.
'First Property Services, a new facilities maintenance and building services
company which we formed in February following the acquisition of Direction
International plc, is trading extremely well and ahead of budget.
'I look forward to the future of the Company with confidence.'
-Ends-
