For the period to December the portfolio produced a total ungeared return of 19.6% relative to its peer group benchmark of 17.7%. This margin of outperformance was achieved despite materially higher acquisition costs than the Benchmark average.

The funding is conditional on planning. The acquisition reflects a net income yield of 5.7% and provides retail warehouse exposure at a discount to current pricing. On the 17 March the Company exchanged contracts to acquire a £27.55 million stake in the joint acquisition of Portman Square House, W1. This is a long leasehold prime office and retail building in a core West End of London location offering excellent rental growth prospects. The acquisition reflects an equivalent yield of 5% assuming current rental values. Finally, on the 21 March the Company completed the acquisition of a 28% stake in Plantation Place, Fenchurch Street, EC3 for £19.6 million. Plantation Place is a prime freehold office building in the City of London totalling over 550,000 sq ft, let to very strong tenants for almost 20 years. The Company has invested alongside Clients of Insight Investment and an external investor. The acquisition price of £527 million reflects a property yield of 5.1%. These acquisitions continue the Company's strategy of acquiring high quality London offices. Disposals The Company has sold three shops in Harrow, Chatham and Scunthorpe at auction for a total consideration of £4.54 million. The disposals follow asset management initiatives that improved value, reflecting an uplift of 35% or £1.18 million relative to the July 2004 acquisition prices. The Company will consider further disposals of small retail property where asset management initiatives have been completed. Active Management Victoria Plaza, Bolton The Company has been pursuing a strategy of securing a new tenant in the unoccupied part of this retail property. This has involved a number of separate negotiations with tenants to improve the planning use and reconfigure the property. The Company has now obtained planning consent for the proposal and has in addition exchanged a conditional Agreement for Lease with a major sports retailer to trade in the upper floors. MidCity Place, London WC1 A significant lease restructuring of a major tenants lease has been completed to bring forward rent reviews and restructure leases to increase the rent on the tenants retained office space by approximately 20% relative to the rental value on acquisition.

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 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. This Investment Trust should be considered only as part of a balanced portfolio, of which it should not form a disproportionate part. Under no circumstances should this newsletter be considered as an offer, or solicitation, to deal in the shares of the company. All figures correct as at 30th September 2005.
