HEADLINE: Property Valuation and update on third party discussions
The Directors announce the valuation of the Company's property portfolio as at
30 September 2010.
* UK portfolio: GBP96.8 million (30 June 2010: GBP97.4 million, excluding Fleet
House, Peterborough, now sold)
* European portfolio: EUR145.3 million (30 June 2010: EUR146.5 million)
In Sterling terms the total valuation was GBP221.9 million, up 2.7% on a like for
like basis. The change reflects a slight decline in values in both the UK
(-0.6%) and Europe (-0.8%) but a 5.9% increase in the Euro exchange rate.
Set out below is an analysis, taking into account transactions, of the
portfolio's vacancy rates, weighted average gross yields and unexpired lease
terms at 30 September 2010 (30 June 2010).

As at 30 September 2010 the Sterling value of the Company's bank borrowings was
GBP217.2 million (30 June 2010: GBP216.0 million). The change reflects currency
movements and GBP6.0 million of sterling borrowings being repaid during the
period following the sale of Fleet House, Peterborough.
The loan to value ratio was 97.9 per cent. (30 June 2010: 97.4 per cent.),
which exceeds the maximum of 65 per cent. permitted under the Company's bank
facility. The Company's interest cover stands at 139.2 per cent. (30 June 2010:
151.5 per cent.) compared with the covenanted minimum of 145 per cent. The
reduction in interest cover has arisen partly as a result of rent free periods
offered as incentives to tenants which have temporarily reduced cashflow and
partly from increased vacancy rates in France.
It has not proved possible to negotiate mutually agreeable terms between third
parties, the lending bank and the Company. Such discussions are now at an end.
Nevertheless, the Company remains in an offer period for the purposes of the
City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. The Company remains in bilateral
discussions with its lending bank regarding its future financing arrangements.
The Net Asset Value and the Adjusted Net Asset Value per share as at 30
September 2010 will be announced in due course.
