management fees and finance costs to the revenue account. In order to ensure
the Company's expense allocation policy is more aligned to with industry norms,
these expenses will be allocated in the ratio 25% to revenue and 75% to capital
for the financial year ending 31 December 2012. This change in allocation is
reflected in the Company's NAV at close on 23 February 2012 for the first time.
There is no impact on the Company's cum-income NAV. The impact on the Company's
capital only NAV at 23 February 2012 is not material.
