Property revaluation

Lok'n Store Group PLC 10 February 2004 LOK'N STORE GROUP PLC ('Lok'n Store' or the 'Group') REVALUATION OF PROPERTY ASSETS Lok'n Store currently has 18 self-storage operations, eight of which are freehold sites and are held on the balance sheet at historic cost less accumulated depreciation. As part of the Group's ongoing commitment to provide more transparency to shareholders, the Board has decided to obtain professional valuations of all of its freehold sites, including Kingston and Reading, in order to enable the directors to provide guidance to shareholders in placing a value on the underlying assets as operational self-storage businesses. This valuation will also include a consideration of the value of an additional part of the Reading site, which is currently held as a property investment. The Board expects to be able to provide this information at the time of the publication of its interim results towards the end of March 2004. As previously announced, Lok'n Store has submitted a planning application for the redevelopment of the Group's freehold site at Kingston and has an application pending in respect of the Reading site, both for high density residential use. The Board anticipates that a successful outcome to these applications would result in a further significant uplift in the value of these two sites. 10 February 2004 Enquiries: Lok'nStore Group PLC Tel: 020 8547 2288 Andrew Jacobs, Chairman College Hill Tel: 020 7457 2020 Justine Warren Crawford Burden This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
