Review of the third quarter

Property Market Overview

The third quarter of 2011 registered a total return of 1.9%, as measured by the IPD Quarterly Index. In the first three quarters of 2011, property delivered a total return of 6.4%.

Total returns have edged lower, on a quarterly basis, during the course of 2011 as the pace of inward yield movement slowed. This has been reflected in a deceleration in capital growth over the past nine months with capital values registering a 0.4% uplift in 3Q 2011 and 2% for the January-September 2011 period. Rental growth remains subdued at 0.1% in the latest quarter and 0.6% in the first nine months of the year.

The latest quarter has seen retail property come under some pressure, with the shops market particularly affected. The difference in performance between Central London and provincial offices has persisted but the latest quarter has seen some cooling in the City office market to narrow the gap. The industrial sector slightly outperformed in the latest quarter following a period of relative weakness; the improvement was driven by higher total returns for standard industrial property in the South East.

Prime property has continued to outperform secondary stock in most segments of the market.

Portfolio Overview

The value of the Company's portfolio as at 30 September 2011 was GBP128.5m. During the quarter, the portfolio produced an income return of 1.8%, ahead of the benchmark income return of 1.4%. With the total capital value of the portfolio remaining unchanged, total returns for the quarter were 1.8% broadly in line with the IPD Quarterly Index return of 1.9%.

The majority of the performance during the quarter derived from the Company's office properties. The Company's best performing asset during the quarter was 14 Berkeley Street, London where the value increased to GBP15.7m due to a number of asset management initiatives including the refurbishment of the 1st and 4th floors. A letting of the 4th floor at a rent equating to GBP75 per sq ft has been completed and terms have also been agreed to let the 1st floor. Relative performance, however, was held back by industrial properties, particularly those with shorter lease lengths.

The Company sold 3-5 Church Street, Kingston Upon Thames, which was let to Telefonica O2 Limited until March 2020 at GBP146,200pa, for GBP2.96m representing a net initial yield of 4.66%. The sale price was in excess of valuation and 41% above the original book value.

During the quarter there were no purchases of property; however, as previously announced, Halls Mill Retail Park in Bury was purchased in June 2011 at a price of GBP7.05 million, a net initial yield of 6.95%. The retail park is fully let and at 30 September 2011 the value increased to GBP7.6m.

Several value-adding lease events have been completed, including the restructuring of two leases at Foundry Lane, Horsham which improved the average weighted unexpired income of this asset to 7.2 years. At 15 London Road, Redhill, following the completion of an RPI rent review, the rent increased by 16% to GBP244,781 pa.

At 30 September 2011, the Company's portfolio had a relatively low void rate of 3.7% of ERV compared with the IPD benchmark of 8.6%. The average unexpired lease length was 8.9 years, assuming all breaks exercised.
