The performance of the property portfolio over the 12 months to March 2006 has been independently assessed by Investment Property Databank ('IPD'). The un-geared total return of 22.22% relative to its peer group benchmark of 19.3% places the portfolio on the 13th percentile. This margin of outperformance continues to be derived despite higher acquisition costs due to higher levels of activity than the peer group.

Significant asset management activity continues across the whole portfolio. Portfolio Structure The portfolio structure incorporates valuation data as at 31 March 2006.

The price of shares and the income from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested on disposal of the shares. Investments in property are relatively illiquid and more difficult to realise than equities or bonds. Yields may vary, and are not guaranteed. The use of gearing is likely to lead to a volatility in the Net Asset Value (NAV), meaning that a relatively small movement either down or up in value of the trust's total assets, will result in a magnified movement in the same direction, of that NAV. There is no guarantee that the market price of shares in Investment Trusts will fully reflect their underlying NAV.
