Announcement of NAV and seventh interim dividend
Insight Foundation Property Trust Limited is pleased to announce a Net Asset
Value of 119.6 pence per share as at 31 March 2006 and an interim dividend
payment of 1.6875 pence per share in respect of the period 1 January 2006 to 31
March 2006.
The dividend payment will be made on 26 May 2006 to shareholders on the register
on 12 May 2006. The ex-dividend date will be 10 May 2006.
The Company's NAV of 119.6 pence per share reflects an uplift of 5.59 pence per
share, or 4.9% over the quarter. The NAV over the 12 months to 31 March 2006 has
increased by 14.3 pence per share or 13.6 % resulting in a NAV total return to
investors of approximately 20.3%.
The quarterly NAV uplift followed an increase in the capital value of the
properties held over the quarter of £24 million or 4.8%. £11.3 million of this
uplift came from the first three London office acquisitions following the C
share issue in July 2005. The Company's investment in MidCity Place has
increased from the acquisition price of £9.8 million to £17.6 million following
a tenant lease restructuring. Minerva House and National Magazine House now have
a combined value of over £97 million as compared to their combined acquisition
prices of £87.18 million.
The Company's total investment in London offices since the C share issue is
approximately £165 million, exceeding the objectives set by the Board at the
time of the issue.
The preliminary estimate of results to 31 March 2006 indicates that a
performance fee is payable to the Manager, Insight Investment in the region of
£5 million and this will be payable following completion of the Company's year
end audit. A provision for this sum has been made in arriving at the published
NAV figure above.
