Since the Company flotation, nearly 12 months ago, the share price has risen by
circa 23%. The Company has continued to make good progress in the three months
to 30 September 2006, recording a 4.85% rise in NAV to GBP 375.4 million (or 123
pence per share). The manager continues to actively manage the portfolio to
unlock the latent value, evaluating both acquisitions that meet the income
return objectives and selective disposals where capital can be effectively
recycled into assets offering more upside potential.
The property portfolio is weighted to the office sector in the South East which
the manager believes will outperform the market over the next two years.
Accordingly the Company is well placed to gain from the growth in this sector.
As reported to shareholders on 9 October, the disposal of the Scorpio Inns
Portfolio has been completed since the period under review at a price ahead of
its 30 September 2006 valuation, this uplift is not included in this NAV.
The property portfolio will next be valued by an external valuer during December
2006 and the NAV per share as at 31 December 2006 will be issued in January
2007.
