The UNITE Group plc - Quarterly Securitisation Report
UNITE Finance One plc, the wholly-owned subsidiary of The UNITE Group plc
established for the purposes of the Group's first securitisation in April 2002,
has today issued its second quarterly report to bondholders. The report
contains trading information relating to the Group's securitised portfolio of
student and key worker accommodation, comprising 9,961 beds representing
substantially all of the Group's income generating property portfolio as at 31
December 2001. The Group currently has a total of 14,604 income generating
beds. The full text of the report is appended to this announcement.
As anticipated at the time the securitisation was completed, certain annualised
calculations will not be provided until the fourth quarterly report is issued in
April 2003.
The Directors of UNITE Finance One plc have confirmed that the portfolio is
trading in line with the forecasts on which the securitisation was based and
rated by Standard and Poors. Occupancy across the securitised portfolio
averaged 95.3% for the academic year 2001/02, although certain bedspaces were
not available for occupation for all or part of the academic year and, if the
effect of this is excluded, occupancy for the academic year averaged 96.8%.
Occupancy levels for the 2002/2003 academic year started at 98.6% for the
securitised portfolio and at 98.1% for all available student rooms compared with
94.8% for the same time last year.

Obligor Quarterly Report
Pursuant to clause 14.1 of the Issuer-Borrower Loan Agreement, UNITE Finance One
(Borrowing) Limited has covenanted to make certain calculations relating to the
securitisation transaction and the trading performance of the securitised
assets. Several of these calculations require the inclusion of historic data,
typically relating to the previous twelve months' trading. These calculations
will not be capable of performance until a period of twelve months has elapsed
and, consequently, cannot be disclosed to bondholders until the fourth Loan
Determination Date, scheduled for 24th April 2003. These calculations are
annotated 'n/a' below and the disclosure has been agreed with the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the non-availability of the information referred to above, the
Directors have sought to disclose such trading performance indicators as are
available and these are included below. Furthermore, the Directors confirm that
the securitised assets are trading in line with expectations and the forecasts
reviewed by Standard and Poors for the purposes of rating the transaction.
