Portfolio Update 
 
All loan interest and scheduled amortisation payments up to the date of this 
factsheet has been paid in full and on time. 
 
Notwithstanding the pandemic-related disruption continuing to be 
experienced, the portfolio continues to be robust and portfolio performance 
is in line with expectations. In the sectors that are most impacted, 
hospitality and retail, borrowers remain adequately capitalised. Loan 
interest and amortisation continue to be paid, with pandemic related 
business plans in place to deal with any underlying income displacement 
being experienced. 
 
Key updates are outlined below; 
 
Hospitality (36 per cent of Investment Portfolio) 
 
· The largest hotel exposure (Hotel, Dublin), at 27 per cent of 
hospitality exposure, continues to benefit from a license in place to the 
Health Service Executive. This has de-risked the impact of pandemic in the 
medium term. 
 
· The UK hotel exposures (Hotel Oxford, Scotland and North Berwick, 
accounting for 33 per cent of hotels in the portfolio) all successfully 
re-opened during the summer following the lifting of domestic travel 
restrictions. Trading was generally positive despite the backdrop of the 
market wider uncertainty. This reflected the domestic demand for 
staycation breaks in the UK, particularly for leisure destinations with 
nearby outdoor facilities such as golf which is offered by the Hotel 
Scotland and North Berwick. All three of these hotels have comprehensive 
re-positioning capex plans in place which sees each sponsor injecting 
material additional equity into the properties. Each hotel will close, in 
Q4 2020 (two hotels) and Q1 2021 (one hotel), in line with the 
underwritten business plans, while refurbishment projects are underway, 
re-opening during 2021 with a re-branded, fully refurbished offering. 
 
· Hotel, Spain (accounting for 29 per cent of hospitality exposure) 
completed a heavy refurbishment project in late summer 2020 and opened for 
a very successful short marketing period before closing until April 2021. 
The underwritten business plan and hotel operating model sees this hotel 
closing annually during the winter months in any event and the sponsor 
remains well capitalised to fund any operational cash shortfalls. 
 
· All hospitality loans have adequate resources to meet their cash needs 
in the medium term. 
 
Retail (12.8 per cent of Investment Portfolio) 
 
· Retail re-opened across Europe following the lifting of local 
restrictions. Footfall on the Group's exposure to four Spanish shopping 
centres has recovered to approximately 73 per cent of 2019 levels since 
re-opening and encouragingly retail sales levels have increased further 
with spend per head approximately 5 per cent up on comparative periods in 
the prior year. 
 
· Loans with retail exposure continue to have adequate cash reserves to 
pay interest, with detailed business plans in place to deal with any 
underlying income displacement related to granting tenants concessions 
during shutdown and recovery periods. 
 
Construction & Heavy Refurbishment (20.6 per cent of Investment Portfolio) 
 
· The Group's construction and heavy refurbishment exposure has materially 
decreased with the successful completion of the Hotel, Spain project in 
late summer. 
 
· While some construction programme disruption has been experienced by 
mandated site shutdowns and the adjustment of work practices to new 
covid-19 related industry regulations, all sites have now re-opened. All 
general contractors and material sub-contractors have satisfactorily 
returned to site. The construction loans remain adequately capitalised 
with funding in place to complete projects. 
 
· Please note that the construction & heavy refurbishment exposure noted 
above will include assets also included in Hospitality and in Office, 
Industrial, Logistics & Residential. 
 
Office, Industrial, Logistics & Residential (45.4 per cent of Investment 
Portfolio) 
 
· These sectors continue to display resilient characteristics in terms of 
rent collection. 
 
· All of the Group's material exposure to residential is either under 
construction or newly completed, held for-sale product. Residential sales 
of both completed and under construction units have continued throughout 
the pandemic. Factors such as stamp duty reductions, weak Sterling and 
continued foreign investor interest in the capital have assisted in 
incentivising purchasers to transact. Average selling prices continue to 
track ahead of underwritten values on the residential portfolio. 
 
           Current and Future Dividend 
 
     On 22 October 2020, the Directors declared a dividend in respect of the 
  third quarter of 1.625 pence per Ordinary Share, equating to an annualised 
6.5 pence per annum. This was covered 0.86x by earnings excluding unrealised 
           FX gains. 
 
     The Board and Investment Adviser recognise the importance of stable and 
 predictable dividends for our shareholders. Accordingly, we hold a dividend 
reserve built up over several years which we have been using to maintain the 
 annual dividend at 6.5 pence per share over the last twenty one months even 
      though the dividend has been uncovered by earnings more recently. As a 
       result of this reserve, dividends have not therefore been paid out of 
      capital reserves. The Company intends to continue to use the remaining 
 reserve to maintain the annual dividend at 6.5 pence per share for the rest 
 of 2020 which will leave a small reserve remaining. The target dividend for 
   2021 is 5.5 pence per share which the company believes will be capable of 
           being covered. 
 
Expected Credit Losses 
 
Please refer to the 31 March and 30 June 2020 factsheets for a detailed 
overview of the classification of loans and the process for the recognition 
of Expected Credit Losses. 
 
At 30 September 2020 six loans with a value of 35.2 per cent of NAV are 
classified as Stage 2 (the six loans unchanged since 30 June 2020 when they 
represented 33 per cent of NAV and are as disclosed in the Group's interim 
reporting) and the remaining loans are still classified as Stage 1. The 
loans classified to Stage 2 are predominantly in the retail and hospitality 
sectors (but not all hospitality loans are in Stage 2). The main reason for 
moving the loans to Stage 2 in the second quarter was expected income 
covenant breaches due to the disruption from Covid-19 and there has been no 
material update to our analysis in this respect during the third quarter. It 
is important to note that although these six loans have been classified as 
Stages 2 no expected credit loss has been recognized as although credit risk 
has increased for these loans we do not currently anticipate realizing a 
loss. 
 
Fair Value 
 
The amortised cost loan recognition is governed by IFRS9 and we do not have 
a choice of methodology to follow - we are not eligible to follow fair value 
accounting for the vast majority of our loans, and in our almost eight year 
history only one loan has ever been eligible to be recognized at fair value 
(the credit linked notes which repaid in the second quarter of this year). 
Therefore our NAV does not show significant fluctuations during periods of 
market volatility. 
 
The table below represents the fair value of the loans based on a discounted 
cash flow basis using different discount rates. 
 
Discount Rate        Value Calculated % of book value 
         4.7%                GBP475.5 m          105.1% 
         5.2%                GBP469.5 m          103.8% 
         5.4%                GBP463.7 m          102.5% 
         5.7%                GBP460.8 m          102.7% 
         6.2%                GBP457.9 m          101.2% 
         6.7% GBP452.3 m (= book value)          100.0% 
         7.2%                GBP446.8 m           98.8% 
         7.7%                GBP441.3 m           97.6% 
         8.2%                GBP436.0 m           96.4% 
         8.7%                GBP430.8 m           95.3% 
 
The effective interest rate ("EIR") - i.e. the discount rate at which future 
cash flows equal the amortised cost, is 6.7 per cent. We have sensitised the 
cash flows at EIR intervals of 0.5 per cent up to +/- 2.0 per cent. The 
table reflects how a change in market interest rates or credit risk premiums 
may impact the fair value of the portfolio versus the amortised cost. 
Further, the Group considers the EIR of 6.7 per cent to be conservative as 
many of these loans were part of a business plan which involved 
transformation and many of these business plans are advanced in the 
execution and therefore significantly de-risked from the original 
underwriting and pricing (for example the Hotel, Spain). The volatility of 
the fair to movements in discount rates is low due to the low remaining 
duration of most loans. 
 
Loan to Value 
 
Given the need for the Group and most of its peers to record loans at 
amortised cost, the loan to value of companies in our sector has 
understandably been an area of focus for many of our shareholders and 
stakeholders seeking to understand underlying risk further. 
 
In order to try to assist in understanding the underlying credit risk, we 
have always quoted the last GBP loan to value ("last LTV") of our portfolio 
and have outlined further detail below on our approach to this calculation. 
 
Methodology 
 
Our methodology to calculate the last LTV for each individual loan is:- 
 
  Total loan drawn less any deductible lender controlled cash 
 reserves and less any amortization received to date (including 
   any debt provided by other lenders which rank alongside or 
                senior to the Group's position) 
  Market value determined by the last formal lender valuation 
                 received by the reporting date 
 
Each individual loan LTV is then weighted by the amount of the loan 
currently drawn (in the Group only, ignoring the position of other third 
party lenders) to give a weighted average last LTV across the Group's 
portfolio. 
 
Valuations Process 
 
The following describes the valuation basis that is used in our calculation. 
As the vast majority of our portfolio is originated directly by the 
Investment Adviser, the Group has discretion over when and how to instruct 
valuations. We consider this to be a strength of our valuation process as we 
have control over timing and complete access to the detail of the valuation 
process and the output. Where loans are not directly originated the lender 
could have a lack of control over the timing and no input to the process 
which we prefer to avoid where possible. 
 
· On the origination of a loan, for a straight forward standing investment 
asset (for example, an occupied office), the independent open market value 
determined by an independent valuer under RICS guidelines will be used. 
When considering the relevance of these valuations in the current market, 
it is important to consider how quickly a portfolio churns. Our average 
loan term from origination to repayment is approximately 2.5 years and 
therefore our valuations have always been fresh. 30.2 per cent of our 
total portfolio was originated in the last 12 months, 48.5 per cent in the 
last 18 months (including the 30.2 per cent in the last 12 months). 
 
· After loan origination the Group has the right under loan documents to 
obtain valuations on an annual basis at the expense of the borrower (based 
on loan anniversary, not Group financial year end). Where a follow on 
valuation has been done we use the latest valuation number in our 
calculations. However, the Group does not instruct independent third party 
valuations on a strict annual basis, only when it is considered necessary 
and useful to obtain one. Of the 69.8 per cent of loans on our books which 
are older than 12 months, 54 per cent have had the valuation updated since 
the loan was originated (comprising 37.5% of the total loan book). We 
consider it is unlikely to be valuable to instruct a new valuation on many 
of these assets at this point in the Covid-19 crisis as it is ongoing and 
are generally preferring to maintain the option to have a valuation done 
at a time where the valuation will have a higher utility. 
 
· For development projects there are a number of potential valuation 
methodologies. Our selected approach is based on giving the clearest and 
most consistent presentation of the risk. For development projects our 
calculation includes the total facility available and is calculated 
against the appraised market value on completion of the relevant project. 
There are other potential approaches such as using current drawn loan 
balance and current value or using total cost as a proxy for value. 
However each of these approaches has limitations. For example, using the 
approach of drawn loan balance divided by current project value will 
typically understate the LTV in the earlier days of a development when 
less debt is drawn before converging to a higher LTV that matches our 
methodology at the end once all the debt is drawn. We generally retain the 
same rights to valuation on development loans as for investment assets. It 
is also worth noting that the weighting of the loan within the portfolio 
calculation is based off the latest drawn balance and not the total loan 
commitment. 
 
On the basis of the methodology outlined above, at 30 September 2020 the 
Group has an average last LTV of 62.6 per cent (30 June 2020: 62.9 per 
cent). 
 
The table below shows the sensitivity of the loan to value calculation for 
movements in the underlying property valuation and demonstrates that the 
Group has considerable headroom within the currently reported last LTVs.

           Share Price Performance and Share Buy Backs 
 
During the third quarter, the Company's shares returned 0.5 per cent on a 
total return basis. Despite market dislocation and volatility, the share 
price has been less volatile than in the previous quarter, trading in the 
narrow range between 83.6 pence and 88.0 pence. This price stability has 
been supported by the share buy-back programme started at the end of the 
previous quarter (see below). 
 
Over the three months ended 30 September, the share price traded at an 
average discount to the cum-div NAV of 17 per cent which has improved 
marginally from the 18 per cent average seen in the previous quarter. The 
Board and the Investment Adviser continue to believe that the shares to 
represent very attractive value at this level and a member of the Board of 
Directors has made personal share purchases during the quarter, as disclosed 
by the Company at the time. 
 
     The Company received authority at the most recent AGM to purchase up to 
     14.99 per cent of the Ordinary Shares in issue on 8 June 2020 and since 
  then, in August 2020, the Board engaged Jefferies International Limited as 
   buy-back agent to effect share buy backs on behalf of the Company. During 
    the third quarter the Company bought back 1,592,000 shares at an average 
   cost per share of 85.17p per share and these shares are held in treasury. 
           Share buy backs are subject to available cash. 
 
           Market Commentary and Outlook 
 
There has been a continuous level of significant news flow in 2020 with the 
global COVID pandemic, US Elections and Brexit to name just a few topics 
which have caused swings in investor sentiment during the year. However, 
since the volatility in spring, many market indices are practically 
unchanged over the past couple of quarters. The FTSE 100 closed at 5,970 on 
the 13th of October with a very low variance having closed at 6,095 and 
5,791 three and six months ago. The VIX is slightly lower at 25.5 versus 
27.2 this time last quarter reflecting relatively steady market volatility 
and the iShares UK Property ETF is practically unchanged over six months at 
495.00 pence compared with 495.15 pence at the time of our June factsheet 
and 495.85 pence three months before that. 
 
The interest rate environment is also relatively unchanged since the 
previous factsheet with Sterling Libor at 0.05 per cent and the curve 
remaining extremely flat with the Sterling 5-year swap rate at only 0.11 per 
cent. With rates so low investors are keen to find yield which has supported 
record European issuance in both investment grade and non-investment grade 
credit in 2020. In the US the CMBS market is firing on all cylinders and all 
in interest costs for US borrowers in this market have never been lower. We 
are also seeing strong appetite for income producing real estate debt in 
Europe from insurance companies and international banks. With limited 
acquisition volume there has not been enough product to satisfy this supply 
of credit. Investment yields for office, residential, logistics and 
industrial real estate are steady and the hunt for yield in this near zero 
interest rate environment is likely to be supportive of property values over 
the coming period. 
 
In real estate capital markets, we anticipated in last quarter's factsheet 
that there would be an increase in activity in the fourth quarter. While 
second and third quarter volumes were low and the summer seemed 
exceptionally quiet, we have begun to see some evidence of the pickup in the 
fourth quarter already. A great example we have seen recently of a leading 
indicator for transaction activity is data from one of the leading real 
estate brokerage firms on their level of requests to pitch for sales 
mandates in the German market which showed more volume in September than the 
May to August period all together. 
 
We commented on the resilience of the logistics and industrial markets both 
for leasing and transactions last quarter and now we have begun to also see 
a number of landmark office deals being announced particularly in London 
over the past few days. Large transactions include the GBP480 million sale of 
One London Wall Place by Brookfield to Middle Eastern investor AGC 
reflecting a net initial yield of 3.8 per cent and the a 50 per cent 
interest in Land Securities' Nova estate by Canadian Pension Plan to Suntec 
REIT. We can see more evidence of volumes picking up in Savills September 
West End and City investment watch articles where they note that there are a 
similar volume of purchases currently under offer to the total that were 
closed in the whole of the year to the end of August. We have also seen a 
strong market with robust pricing for new acquisitions agreed in Germany and 
Dublin. In Dublin since the lockdowns were announced, on the office leasing 
side there have been 52 new requirements totalling 640,000 square feet and 
active requirements in Dublin are currently estimated to be 4.2 million 
square feet showing robust demand for office space while supply remains 
muted. With notaries closed for much of the second quarter and the 
investment process taking longer in Southern Europe generally there is less 
transactional evidence in Madrid and Barcelona where the bulk of the balance 
of the Group's office exposure is. However, rents are still very affordable, 
vacancy remains low in these markets, there is very constrained new supply 
and this is expected to provide a level of support to both rental levels and 
capital values despite COVID effects. 
 
The Covid pandemic has driven a change in working practices with many people 
forced to work from home although the impact has been vastly different in 
different countries. For example only 34 per cent of office based workers 
have returned to their normal work location in the UK but in continental 
Europe there is a very different picture with each of Germany, Italy and 
Spain reporting greater than 70 per cent and in France it is 83 per cent. 
Whilst many firms have implemented the ability to have a full work from home 
environment it is widely believed that physical office space will continue 
to remain important going forward allowing employees to collaborate, 
innovate and be productive. Offices provide a key tool for employers to 
engage and attract talent and to reflect a company's brand and culture. We 
hear regular anecdotes from financial and professional services companies 
reporting reduced productivity as a result from working from home including 
a decrease in overall per employee capacity due to inefficiency of 
communication, the lack of the collaborative spark of office interactions 
and the reduction of interactions for new and junior employees stifling 
training and development. While it is likely that all occupiers will conduct 
a review of their real estate requirements in light of the effects of COVID, 
the macro-economic impacts of COVID are still to be determined and whilst 
there will be many newspaper headlines on this subject, we note in the 
recent CBRE Future of the Office report, that only 13 per cent of 
respondents claimed that the importance of physical office space would 
decrease significantly. 
 
Moving to hospitality and retail, European hotel and retail operations 
remain challenged as restrictions on travel and other operations disrupt 
business. Currently 66 per cent of all intra-European travel routes are 
subject to restrictions. Liquidity to allow these operational businesses 
breathing room over the coming quarters will be key. The window of eased 
travel and operational constraints in the middle of this year did show 
however that when people are allowed to travel and hotels were open the 
desire is there from the customer. There is still a long way to go for 
European markets. The Investment Adviser is also following global market 
trends which has included Chinese hospitality performance data. There were 
only 390 existing COVID cases reported at the end of September in mainland 
China and the statistics for mainland China weekly hotel occupancy data 
reflect this low level of impact of the virus. Weekly occupancy data versus 
same period last year from STR has been trending up steadily from 90 percent 
lower than previous year in February with the latest data showing occupancy 
for the week ending 26th September now actually 2 per cent higher than the 
same week in the previous year. 
 
As we noted in the second quarter factsheet the residential market has held 
up well in the markets we are exposed to and we have continued to see a 
steady sales performance. This can be observed very clearly in the loan 
balance of our Residential London loan, originally a GBP58 million commitment, 
the exposure has been reduced to GBP33.4 million by the end of the third 
quarter. 
 
In the real estate lending market we are currently seeing very robust 
financing appetite for the best credits although financing processes remain 
slower particularly due to the practicalities of doing business from outside 
of the office. For more value add projects there are significantly fewer 
data-points and there is opportunity in this space. While there is less new 
money available for hospitality and retail we still have seen some new 
financing terms issued by other lenders over the past month in both areas. 
We had noted in the last factsheet that larger deals requiring syndication 
have been particularly difficult with investment banks needing to shift 
pre-COVID loan inventory. We understand good progress has been made on much 
of this inventory and have seen renewed enthusiasm from investment banks to 
do business as we enter a fresh new quarter. With a reduced turnover of 
loans this year, the Company has a limited capacity for new origination and 
is focussed in the short term on the best balance of risk adjusted returns.

          (1) The unlevered annualised total return is calculated on amounts 
       outstanding at the reporting date, excluding undrawn commitments, and 
  assuming all drawn loans are outstanding for the full contractual term. 15 
 of the loans are floating rate (partially or in whole and some with floors) 
  and returns are based on an assumed profile for future interbank rates but 
 the actual rate received may be higher or lower. Calculated only on amounts 
 funded at the reporting date and excluding committed amounts (but including 
       commitment fees) and excluding cash un-invested. The calculation also 
           excludes the origination fee payable to the Investment Manager. 
 
   (2)The levered annualised total return is calculated as per the unlevered 
   return but takes into account the amount of net leverage in the Group and 
           the cost of that leverage at current LIBOR/EURIBOR. 
 
(3) LTV to Group last GBP means the percentage which the total loan drawn less 
    any deductible lender controlled cash reserves and less any amortisation 
       received to date (when aggregated with any other indebtedness ranking 
  alongside and/or senior to it) bears to the market value determined by the 
   last formal lender valuation received by the reporting date. LTV to first 
    Group GBP means the starting point of the loan to value range of the loans 
   drawn (when aggregated with any other indebtedness ranking senior to it). 
        For development projects the calculation includes the total facility 
  available and is calculated against the assumed market value on completion 
           of the relevant project.
