Net Asset Value

The unaudited net asset value ('NAV') per share of the Company as at 30 June 2009 was 75.9 pence. This represents a decrease of 1.0 per cent from the published NAV per share as at 30 April 2009 of 76.7 pence. 

The NAV has been calculated under International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'). It is based principally on the external valuation of the Company's direct property portfolio prepared by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited. 

As previously announced, the Board has appointed an independent valuer to value the Company's unitised investments in two indirectly held property funds, the Industrial Property Investment Fund and The Mall Fund (the 'Indirect Holdings'). The NAV per share as at 30 June 2009 incorporates the Indirect Holdings at the Directors' valuation which reflects these independently produced values. 


The basis of valuation of the Indirect Holdings will continue to be reviewed regularly by the Board, with independent advice as appropriate, and amended, as required, to reflect changes in market conditions and practice.


The NAV includes all income to 3June 2009 and is calculated after deduction of all dividends paid prior to that date. As at 30 June 2009 no adjustments were required to the NAV in respect of dividends for which the share price had gone ex-dividend.
