Fund Managers Commentary

The IPD Monthly Index delivered strong capital growth over the quarter of 3.9%, albeit this was substantially lower than the record rise seen in the last quarter of 2009. The rate of rental value declines in each sector also slowed markedly over the period, and in March the Office sector returned its first positive rental growth for 2 years. The void rate on the Index decreased over the quarter, and at the end of March stood at 10.8%.

On a like-for-like basis, the Company's property portfolio rose in value by GBP 7.2 million over the 3 months.

Notable transactions over the period included a new letting at Northampton Business Park to Ricoh at a rent of GBP 350,000 pa; and the agreement to accept a surrender on its Farringdon building for over GBP 4 million- these monies will in part allow the building to be refurbished and relet.

Following the period end the Company announced that it had made an offer for Rugby REIT plc. More details are available on the Company's website.
