The dividend payment will be made on 24 November 2006 to shareholders on the register on 10 November 2006. The ex-dividend date will be 8 November 2006. The Company's NAV of 132.93 pence per share reflects an uplift of 5.13 pence per share, or 4% over the quarter, and 13.33 pence per share or 11.2% over the six months to September. The Company's property level total return of 5.3% compares to the equivalent like for like figure of 3.7% for the IPD Monthly Index. The reported NAV takes account of a performance fee accrual to the Investment Manager. The quarterly NAV uplift followed an increase in the capital value of the properties held over the quarter of £25.2 million or 4.2%. Key highlights during the quarter include: • The Company completed the acquisition of a 21.6% stake in Portman Square House, London W1 at a price of £27.55 million that has been revalued at the quarter end at £30.08 million • A 45% uplift in the value of the Company's interest in MidCity Place, London WC1 increasing from £12.83 million to £18.55 million • A 7% uplift in the National Magazine House, London W1, increasing from £51 million to £54.5 million. The uplift follows increasing West End market rents leading up to the well timed rent review in 2008 Commenting on the announcement, Duncan Owen, Invista Real Estate Investment Management, said: 'The sustained growth in NAV this quarter has primarily been driven by our London assets together with the positive impact of asset management across the whole portfolio. We are pleased with the performance of our property assets which take account of all transaction costs. Over 12 months the total return at property level is 26.1% relative to the IPD Monthly Index of 20.7%. 'We believe that our Company is well placed to perform well in what may be a more challenging environment where performance is less driven by falling yields across the whole market, and more by sector weightings and good stock selection.' -ENDS- For further information: Duncan Owen (Invista Real Estate Investment Management) 020 7153 9345 Sara Radford (RBSI Fund Services (Guernsey) Limited) 01481 743000 Stephanie Highett / Dido Laurimore (Financial Dynamics) 020 7831 3113 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
