Interim Results

Insight Foundation Property Tst Ltd 28 November 2005 Insight Foundation Property Trust Limited Interim Report Unaudited as at 30 September 2005 Company summary Objective To provide Shareholders with an attractive level of income together with the potential for income and capital growth from investing in UK commercial property. The Group holds a diversified portfolio of UK commercial properties and is invested in three commercial property sectors: office, retail and industrial. The Group will not invest in other listed Investment Companies. In pursuing the investment objective, the Investment Manager intends to target assets with good fundamental characteristics, a diverse spread of occupational tenants and, at least initially, with above average income yields for the property sector with opportunities to enhance value through active management. Investment manager Insight Investment Management (Global) Limited Total assets less current liabilities (group) £538.97 million at 30 September 2005. Shareholders' funds £385.03 million at 30 September 2005. Capital structure At launch, Insight Foundation Property Trust Limited had a capital structure comprising approximately 85 per cent ordinary shares and 15 per cent bank debt. As at 30th September 2005 this was approximately 70 per cent ordinary shares and 30 per cent bank debt. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to all dividends declared by the Company and to all the Company's assets after repayment of its borrowings. Borrowings consist of £152.5 million drawn down. The loan currently has an effective interest cost of 5.31% (before annualised costs and expenses in association with its arrangement) fixed for the period of the loan by way of an interest rate swap contract matched against the full amount of the loan. On 27th July 2005 100,000,000 C Shares were admitted to the Stock Exchange and commenced dealing. On 5th August 2005 Insight Foundation Property Trust Limited carried out a Conversion of the C Shares of the Company. As at that date, the net asset value per C Share was 97.85p and the net asset value per ordinary share was 104.59p. On this basis, for the purpose of the Conversion, the Conversion Ratio was 0.9356 Ordinary shares for every one C Share. 93,560,000 new Ordinary Shares were created on Conversion of the C Shares increasing the number of issued Ordinary Shares of the Company from 260,000,000 to 353,560,000. ISA/PEP status The Company's shares are eligible for Individual Savings Accounts (ISA's) and PEP transfers and can continue to be held in existing PEPs.

Chairman's Statement Results I am pleased to report a further positive set of results for the six months ended 30 September 2005. During the period under review, the Company's unaudited net asset value per share (NAV) has increased by 4 pence per share, or 3.8%. Our Shareholders have also received total dividends of 3.375 pence per share, making an NAV total return of almost 7% over the six months. Since the launch of the Company in July 2004 the Company's NAV has increased by 11.4 pence per share, or 11.7% to 108.9 pence per share. Over this period our Shareholders have also received total dividends of 6.75 pence per share resulting in an NAV total return of approximately 18.5%. The NAV growth is clearly a reflection of the continued strength of the UK commercial property market, but it is also a consequence of the Manager's active approach to transactional activity, intensive asset management and innovative financing. Each of these areas is making a real contribution to the Company's performance providing a solid base for sustained NAV growth. The Company's underlying property portfolio has performed well, particularly given the number of transactions completed since launch, with acquisitions totalling £464 million and disposals totalling £27 million since July 2004. For the twelve months to September, the independent performance measurement company, Investment Property Databank ('IPD'), has recorded an un-geared total return for the Company's underlying property portfolio (after deducting all property level transaction costs) of 17%, which is in line with the comparable IPD Index for our peer group. Since the audited report to March 2005, acquisitions and disposals totalling £97 million and £12 million respectively were completed. The level of transactions undertaken by the Company in order to invest available funds in line with the strategy has been running at approximately twice the average rate reflected in the IPD index. The Manager estimates that this difference would have had an impact of some 1.3% on the performance comparison. On an underlying basis, therefore, the Company's property portfolio has outperformed the market as a whole by a satisfactory margin. C Share Issue The successful completion of the C Share issue in July has increased the Company's capital base from approximately £439 million to £557 million. This expansion will enable the Manager to grow and diversify the Company's portfolio, most specifically by increasing the exposure to the Central London and South East office markets, which is expected to enhance returns to shareholders over the coming years. On closing the C Share issue the Manager anticipated investing approximately £100 million during 2005 with the balance of approximately £70 million invested in the first quarter of 2006. Approaching £100 million of acquisitions had been completed by early November with a further £12 million under offer. Following this expansion the Company now has net assets of £385 million and as a consequence, in September the Company was admitted into the FTSE 250. The Company now has 920 shareholders and an increased free float of 70%, compared with 38% at launch, and I am delighted to welcome those who have joined our shareholder register through the C share issue. Accounting Practices The Company has already adopted the new IFRS reporting standards, with the June and September reported Net Asset Values reflecting this rather than UK GAAP, which remains the standard used by many of our peers. The key impact of the Company in reporting under IFRS relates to the marking to market of liabilities, and particularly the Company's debt. As part of the successful debt securitisation carried out by the Company in early 2005, the senior loan was fully hedged against interest rate risk using an interest rate swap at 5.1%. Subsequent to the securitisation interest rates have fallen and in June this led to the Company making a negative adjustment to the NAV of £6.69 million or 1.9 pence per share, reducing slightly in September to £5.37 million or 1.52 pence per share. Shareholder Communication Since the last audited accounts the Manager continues to issue quarterly Investor factsheets and has launched the Company's web-site, www.ifpt.co.uk. Prospects The strategy set out for the expansion of the Company's capital base at the time of the C share issue is on track, with almost £100 million invested between July and November 2005. It is clear, however, that the market remains very competitive, and the Manager is finding that many potential opportunities, when widely marketed, are achieving prices that do not meet our return requirements, when making appropriately prudent assumptions about future growth. Nonetheless, the Manager has continued to identify and secure attractive additions to the Company's portfolio and expects to have invested the remaining equity before the second quarter of 2006. The Board will continue to work with the Manager to analyse the benefits of increasing the Company's gearing by drawing down on the reserve notes under the Company's securitised debt facilities to underpin the Company's future growth. Andrew Sykes, Chairman Insight Foundation Property Trust Limited 22 November 2005 Investment manager's summary report The Property Portfolio As at 30 September 2005, the Company owned a direct property portfolio valued at £439 million comprising 73 assets, increasing to £481.645 million as at 15 November 2005. The portfolio has approximately 252 tenancies (with 199 different corporate tenants) with an average unexpired lease term of approximately 8.3 years. The portfolio is diversified both geographically and across the main sub-sectors of the UK property market. During the period under review, the Company has made acquisitions and selective disposals totalling approximately £97 million and £12 million respectively. Since the issue of the Audited accounts in March 2005, the Company's property assets have increased to £481.645 million. This figure comprises the September property portfolio valuation of £438.995 million together with the recent acquisition of National Magazine House for £45.05 million and the disposal of the retail property at Thames Street, Kingston. These assets produce a total rent of £29.8 million per annum which reflects a portfolio net initial yield of 6.2%. The current rental value of the portfolio is £31.09 million reflecting a reversionary yield of 6.4%. The portfolio yield on property cost is higher at approximately 7%. Our strategy has evolved further to increase our exposure to Central London. Since the C Share issue, three key acquisitions have been successfully completed that meet the Company's core objectives of acquiring well located assets with the ability to increase rents via active asset management initiatives, and also benefit from rental growth generally as the Central London office market recovers. In early July the Company acquired a freehold office property (Minerva House) in London SE1 for £42.13 million, reflecting a net income yield of 6.3%. The property is in a strong location with extensive river frontage to the Thames and is close to Southwark Cathedral and London Bridge. The property is well let to established tenants (ANZ Banking Group Limited and Reed Smith LLP) producing a rent of approximately £2.76 million per annum. This averages at a rate of £31 per sq ft, providing the potential for income growth as the level of market rents increase and asset management opportunities are realised. In August the Company invested £10 million in equity and subordinated debt acquiring a 19.7% stake in Mid City Place, High Holborn in London WC1. The Company owns the freehold property jointly, providing a rare opportunity to invest in a high quality asset. The property is regarded as one of the 'Mid Town's' most attractive assets. It provides a total floor area of 323,000 sq ft with Grade A office accommodation and good quality retail units fronting High Holborn. The property is let to 11 tenants on 15 leases and has significant asset management potential with current low rents of £37.50 per sq ft. In November the Company completed the acquisition of National Magazine House in Soho W1 for £45.05 million. The freehold property benefits from 16,000 sq ft floors and is located in a prominent position. It is let for a further 13 years to The National Magazine Company Limited, the UK subsidiary of Hearst Corporation. The property also benefits from residential units above the offices. The price reflects a net income yield of 5.3%. There is a rent review in 2008 and we believe this is well timed to benefit from rental growth with the current shortage of good quality buildings offering large, clear accommodation in Soho. These recent acquisitions produce a blended net initial yield of 5.83%, are in line with the strategy outlined at the time of the C Share issue and reflect good value in a market where there is considerable demand for well-let London office property. We have approximately £70 million available for further investment (before any further drawing of reserve notes) and the Company's continued focus will be London and the South East. Remaining acquisitions will target an above average yield so as to maintain a blended portfolio yield of over 6%. We have continued to complete a limited number of disposals where the properties have reached their full potential and a material premium over valuation could be achieved post active management initiatives. We are using all efforts to ensure that the Company is substantially invested, whilst not compromising on our key investment principles. We have a robust quantitative and qualitative approach to stock selection and this is a strategy that is helping to secure mis-priced properties, even in today's competitive market. The underlying performance of the portfolio continues to be driven not just by stock selection but also by our pro-active approach to active asset management. This approach is required to ensure that the Company captures rental growth as fast as possible and consequently maximises all possible opportunities for capital value appreciation. Any vacant units are pro-actively managed, and this is delivering strong results. As at September 2005 approximately 2.6% of the portfolio was vacant, down from 4% in March 2005. If leases currently under offer complete as anticipated, the void rate will be further reduced to approximately 1.5% of rental value. This compares to approximately 8% on an average portfolio (as measured by the IPD Index). The Company's loan facility runs until 2014 and is fully hedged against future interest rate movements. It is worth recording that the securitisation included an additional £150 million facility of reserve notes which can be drawn down in the future very efficiently (subject to Rating Agency consent). As further debt is drawn down and the gearing in the Company increases, the Net Asset Value should increase. Outlook We anticipate returns to the UK commercial property market of over 15% for 2005 and reducing to closer to 7% to 8% per annum over the foreseeable future. The expectation for 2005 has increased from earlier in the year due to the sustained and increased levels of demand for commercial property. Prime yields continue to reflect strong real estate fundamentals with expectations for good rental growth in some parts of the market. We remain cautious regarding the narrowing gap between prime and secondary properties. Our view therefore is that secondary stock is now less attractive, although our approach allows the Company to identify value across all markets. We will always be prepared to act where we see opportunities to unlock value through selective new acquisitions and asset management solutions. The principal focus for the remainder of 2005 and into 2006 will be to acquire further properties in London and the South East, especially where they involve larger lot sizes offering active management opportunities and flexibility for potential occupiers. In summary, our focus for property activity will be to: • Be substantially fully invested and pursue new investment in high growth assets and segments of the market • Consider limited sales of lower yielding retail properties, notwithstanding the desire to be fully invested • Pursue active management initiatives set to make a significant impact on valuation • Maintain and enhance the current portfolio to ensure a continued broad diversity of properties and tenants.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the measurement at fair value of investment properties. (b) Basis of preparation The accounting policies have been applied consistently by the company and are consistent with those used in the previous year, except for changes resulting from the amendments to IFRSs. The company adopted the revised versions of IFRSs that were effective at 1 January 2005. (c) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiary undertakings up to 30 September 2005. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. (d) Income Rental income Rental income is accounted for on a straight line basis over the lease term of ongoing leases and is shown gross of any UK income tax. Any material premiums or rent-free periods are spread evenly over the lease term. Interest receivable Interest receivable derives from cash monies held in current and deposit accounts throughout the period and is accounted for on an accruals basis. (e) Expenses All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. The Group's investment management and administration fees, finance costs (including interest on the long term borrowings) and all other expenses are charged through the Consolidated Income Statement. (f) Taxation The Company and its Guernsey registered subsidiaries have obtained exempt company status in Guernsey under the terms of the Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance 1989 so that they are exempt from Guernsey taxation on income arising outside Guernsey and on bank interest receivable in Guernsey. Each company is, therefore, only liable to a fixed fee of £600 per annum. The Directors intend to conduct the Group's affairs such that they continue to remain eligible for exemption. No charge to Guernsey taxation will arise on capital gains. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to United Kingdom income tax on income arising on investment properties, after deduction of debt financing costs and allowable expenses. (g) Investment properties Investment properties are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given, including transaction costs associated with the investment property. After initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Realised gains and losses on the disposal of properties are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Fair value is based on the open market valuations of the properties as provided by Knight Frank LLP a firm of independent chartered surveyors, at the balance sheet date. Market valuations are carried out on a quarterly basis. (h) Share issue and formation expenses Incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction and costs associated with the establishment of the company that would otherwise have been avoided are written off against the share premium account. (i) Segmental reporting The Directors are of the opinion that the Group is engaged in a single segment of business, being that of a property investment business and in one geographical area, the United Kingdom. (j) Cash and cash equivalents Cash in banks and short-term deposits that are held to maturity are carried at cost. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash in hand, demand deposits and short term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and short-term deposits in banks. (k) Bank loans and borrowings All bank loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, the fair value of the consideration received net of arrangement costs associated with the borrowing. After initial recognition, all interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any loan arrangement costs and any discount or premium on settlement. (l) Derivative financial instruments The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. It is not the Group's policy to trade in derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at cost and are subsequently re-measured and stated at fair value. Fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the balance sheet date. The gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value of cash flow hedges in the form of derivative financial instruments are taken directly to the Statement of Changes in Equity. Such gains and losses are taken to a reserve created specifically for that purpose, described as the Hedge reserve. On maturity or early redemption the realised gains or losses arising from cash flow hedges in the form of derivative instruments are taken to the Income Statement, with an associated transfer from the Statement of Changes in Equity in respect of unrealised gains or losses arising in the fair value of the same arrangement. The Group considers the terms of its interest rate swap qualify for hedge accounting. (m) Investment in Associate Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the total recognized gains and losses of associates on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commences to the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the Group's carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of an associate. Loans to associates are stated at their amortised cost less impairment losses. Notes to the Interim report 1. The un-audited interim results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. 2. The returns per ordinary share are based on 288,630,383 shares, being the average number of shares in issue. The average number of shares in issue in the period 27/05/2004 to 30/09/2004 was 260,000,000 shares.

KPMG Independent review report to Insight Foundation Property Trust Limited We have been engaged by the company to review the financial information set out on pages 13 to 19 and we have read the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information. This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the company in meeting the requirements of the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or the conclusions we have reached. Directors' responsibilities The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing Rules which require that the accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent with those which will be applied in preparing the annual accounts. Review work performed We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4 'Review of interim financial information' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making enquiries of management and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied, unless otherwise disclosed. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information. Review conclusion On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information as presented for the period ended 30th September 2005.
