O TWELVE ESTATES LIMITED
("O Twelve" / the "Company")

O Twelve Estates Limited, the London and South East focused property
investment group, today announces results for the year ended 31 March
2012.
Key points
* Portfolio valuation of GBP154.4 million (31 March
2011: GBP158.5 million) representing a decline of
2.6% on a like-for-like basis
* Group net loss of GBP6.6 million, (31 March 2011:
loss of GBP8.6 million) representing a loss per
Ordinary Share of 1.37p (31 March 2011: loss per
Ordinary Share of 4.64p)
* Consolidated net assets of GBP33.5 million (31 March
2011: GBP40.1 million), 6.98 pence per Ordinary Share
(31 March 2011: 8.34 pence per Ordinary Share)
* Contracted annual rental income of GBP11.6 million
with an estimated rental value ("ERV") of GBP13.3
million per annum
* Void rate increased to 13.0% (31 March 2011: 7.7%)
due to a lease surrender of the tenant at Western
Avenue, Thurrock
* 25 new leases contracted, accounting for 114,000 sq
ft of space and GBP1.1 million of annual rental
income after rent free periods
The Company is also pleased to announce that it is in advanced discussions
with VIII Investment UK S.a.r.l (a company entirely owned by funds
managed and/or advised by Westbrook Partners) ("VIII Investment")
in respect of a potential unconditional cash offer to be made by
VIII Investment for the entire issued and to be issued share capital
of the Company not already owned by VIII Investment at a price per
share of 7 pence. VIII Investment currently holds 370,025,139 Ordinary
Shares representing 77.06 per cent. of the issued share capital of
O Twelve. It is the current intention of the Board's independent
directors (being the Directors of O Twelve excluding Mark Donnor
and Ben Warner who are nominee directors of VIII Investment) to recommend
such offer, should it be made. These discussions may or may not lead
to an offer for the Company and therefore there can be no certainty
that an offer will be made.
Rule 2.6(a) of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeover
Code"), requires the named potential offeror, by not later than 5.00
p.m. on 16 July 2012 (the "relevant deadline"), to either announce
a firm intention to make an offer for the Company in accordance with
Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code or announce that it does not intend
to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated
as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Takeover Code applies. However,
the relevant deadline may be extended with the consent of the Takeover
Panel in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Takeover Code, which
would normally be given at the request of the offeree.
This is an announcement falling under Rule 2.4 of the Takeover Code
and does not constitute an announcement of a firm intention to make
an offer under Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code. There can be no certainty
that an offer will be made. A further announcement will be made in
due course.
This announcement is being made with the approval of VIII Investment.
Commenting on the results, Phillip Rhodes, Chairman of O Twelve,
said:
"Property valuations are unlikely to increase significantly over
the next 12 months, in no small part due to the ongoing uncertainty
in the Eurozone. Your Board considers that the interests of shareholders
are best served by continuing to pursue latent value within the portfolio
by aggressive asset management, particularly of a number of opportunities
where there is clear potential to create additional value. As assets
mature they will be realised when right to do so in the circumstances
of each individual property."

are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make an Opening
Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to present the Group's results for the year ended 31
March 2012.
At 31 March 2012, the Group's property portfolio was valued at GBP154.4
million (31 March 2011: GBP158.5 million). On a like-for-like basis,
taking into account capital expenditure over the period, the value
of the portfolio fell during the year by 2.6%. The IPD Monthly Index
decreased by 0.2% for the same period. However, it should be noted
that this is not directly comparable to the Group's portfolio, due
to the inclusion of prime central London properties which improved
the IPD Monthly Index's performance, but which were not part of the
Group's portfolio.
During the year, the portfolio remained largely unchanged, with transactions
limited to the partial disposal of two units at Larkfield Mill in
Aylesford for a total consideration of GBP725,000.
Results
The Group reported a net loss for the year. Whilst the Group generated
a small profit before valuation movements, the unrealised loss of
GBP4.0 million on revaluation of investment properties and the adverse
movement in the mark to market of interest rate swaps of GBP2.5 million
led to a net loss for the year of GBP6.6 million (31 March 2011:
loss of GBP8.6 million), representing a loss per Ordinary Share of
1.37p (31 March 2011: loss per Ordinary Share of 4.64p). Consolidated
net assets at 31 March 2012 were GBP33.5 million (31 March 2011:
GBP40.1 million), and net asset value per Ordinary Share was 6.98p
(31 March 2011: 8.34p).
During the period, the Group accepted a lease surrender from the
tenant of Western Avenue, Thurrock, which had been in financial difficulty,
on payment by the tenant of GBP262,500. Principally as a result of
this, rental income for the year was GBP11.5 million (31 March 2011:
GBP12.2 million).
Financing
During the year the Group repaid GBP6.5 million of loan principal.
At 31 March 2012, the outstanding loan principal was GBP118.3 million
(31 March 2011: GBP124.8 million), of which GBP89.0 million (31 March
2011: GBP115.0 million) was at a fixed rate of interest of 5.155%
per annum plus margin and GBP29.3 million (31 March 2011: GBP9.8
million) was at variable rates, giving a blended interest rate at
31 March 2012 of 6.14% per annum (31 March 2011: 6.82%).
The loss of the tenant at Western Avenue had a negative impact on
the interest cover ratio ("ICR"). However this was offset by the
reduction in interest cost following the hedging break and the twenty-five
new leases which were contracted in the period, accounting for 114,000
sq ft of space and GBP1.1 million of rental income after rent free
periods.
The ICR under the loan facility at 25 April 2012 was 129% (25 April
2011: 117%), against a current default level of 110%. The loan to
value ratio ("LTV") at 31 March 2012 was 73%. This is comfortably
below the default level of 85% although shareholders should be aware
that "cash lock up" arrangements come into effect above 75%.
At 31 March 2012, cash balances freely available to the Group amounted
to GBP5.3 million. In addition, GBP6.2 million was held on a blocked
deposit account which is offset against the loan principal in calculating
LTV under the loan facility.
Dividend
The Board does not recommend the payment of a dividend in respect
of the year (31 March 2011: nil).
Future prospects
The Directors believe that property valuations are unlikely to increase
significantly over the next 12 months, in no small part due to the
ongoing uncertainty in the Eurozone. Your Board considers that the
interests of shareholders are best served by continuing to pursue
latent value within the portfolio by aggressive asset management,
particularly of a number of opportunities where there is clear potential
to create additional value. As assets mature they will be realised
when right to do so in the circumstances of each individual property.
In the present unfavourable economic and financial climate, the Directors
do not expect the lenders under the loan facility to approve new
acquisitions or projects other than those which directly benefit
existing assets. It must therefore be assumed that the greater part
of any realisation proceeds will not be reinvested and will be applied
in paying down the loan facility.
The Directors intention is that the balance of the Group's properties
will be disposed of by the end of the loan facility term in 2016.
All disposals will take into account the impact on loan covenant
compliance at that time. The greater part of realisation proceeds
will be applied against debt as required and the annual cash surplus,
after considering the Group's overall financial position, will be
repaid to shareholders.
In light of current market conditions, and the Group's realisation
plan for the next few years, your Board is reviewing all aspects
of the Group's operations to minimise costs over the period. This
involves consideration of all management and advisory arrangements
and the Group's tax residency and status. However, the Directors
do not believe shareholders' interests are best served by using freely
available cash resources to break fixed rate loans. Earlier property
realisations will therefore be limited to the outstanding debt not
subject to these arrangements (GBP29 million at 31 March 2012). Rather,
the adverse mark to market of fixed rate loans, amounting to GBP14
million as at 31 March 2012, should so far as possible be allowed
naturally to reduce to zero over the remaining loan term.

PROPERTY ADVISER'S REPORT
Rugby Asset Management
Rugby Asset Management Limited ("RAM"), a member of the Rugby Estates
Plc group, was appointed Property Adviser to O Twelve Estates Limited
on its admission to AIM on 27 March 2006. Our role is to identify
transactions for recommendation to and consideration by the Board
of the Company and to negotiate on its behalf. We undertake, on a
day to day basis, under delegated authority from the Board, all aspects
of assembling, managing and financing O Twelve's property portfolio.
Rugby Estates Plc group holds a 1.6% interest in the issued share
capital of O Twelve Estates Limited.
Market Comment
In the latter part of 2011, the tide of investor sentiment clearly
changed with concerns over the wider external economy, particularly
the risk of sovereign default in the Eurozone. This nervousness has
continued into 2012 and the risk aversion that was present in 2008
and 2009 has now returned. Demand for prime and good secondary property
in London and the South East remains stable, although outside those
segments of the market investor demand tails off considerably. This
is reflected in the continued divergence in yields between prime
and poorer quality secondary property.
In the year ended 31 March 2012, capital values for UK real estate
generally remained stable with the IPD Monthly Index showing a fall
in values of 0.2%. While the Group's portfolio is entirely located
in the South East, it does not have any holdings in Central London,
which performed significantly better than most other sectors of the
market. Accordingly, on a like-for-like basis, and after having taken
into account capital expenditure, the capital value of the portfolio
over the year decreased by 2.6%.
The occupational market remains fragile, particularly in the retail
sector where tenant defaults present a challenge and in many instances
rental values are continuing to fall. In September 2011, we advised
that the void rate had increased to 13%, almost entirely due to the
loss of the tenant at Western Avenue, Thurrock. One of our principal
aims is to maximise cashflow with a particular focus on minimising
voids and reducing associated property outgoings. Despite the challenging
occupational market, we are pleased to report that twenty-five new
leases were contracted over the period, accounting for 114,000 sq
ft of space and GBP1.1 million of annual rental income after rent
free periods.

Activity
There were no material sales or acquisitions during the period. Two
industrial units at Larkfield Mill in Aylesford were sold realising
GBP725,000.
Our focus has continued to be on asset management and we are delighted
to report that twenty-five new leases have been contracted over the
period, accounting for 114,000 sq ft of space and GBP1.1 million
of annual rental income after rent free periods. Key events during
the year included:
* Larkfield Mill, Aylesford - City Link taking a new
lease on just over 40,000 sq ft of distribution space
for a further ten years (with a break at year five)
at a rental rate of GBP203,585 per annum after
incentives.
* Queensgate, Waltham Cross - Telford Homes have
re-geared their lease and taken additional space. In
total they now occupy just over 19,000 sq ft (32% of
total area) paying a rent of almost GBP270,000 after
incentives. The income is now secure until 2021.
* Mill River Trading Estate, Enfield - Following a cost
effective refurbishment of the estate, Edmundson
Electrical have completed leases on two units for a
total contracted rent of circa GBP130,000 per annum.
Both leases are for a ten year term with one of the
units having a break option in December 2017.
Since 31 March 2012, we have also completed a new reversionary lease
with Bank of New York ("BNY") Mellon in Brentwood. BNY Mellon occupy
46,000 sq ft of offices under a lease which was due to expire in
March 2013. The reversionary lease extends the term for a further
five years at the passing rent of GBP701,406 per annum. This is a
significant tenancy for the Company, accounting for 6% of the total
rent roll. This income stream is now secure until March 2018.

Void Analysis
The void rate within the portfolio has risen from 7.7% on 31 March
2011 to 13% at 31 March 2012. This increase is almost solely due
to accepting a surrender of the lease at the distribution unit at
Western Avenue, Thurrock. The tenant company was in financial difficulty
and, after a detailed review of its position, it was felt that the
best course of action would be to accept a surrender payment of GBP262,500
from them rather than pursue a claim after an insolvency event. During
the coming year our focus will continue to be on reducing the void
rate and minimising associated void costs.
Rent Collection
Maintaining a high level of rent collection remains one of our key
objectives. Despite the difficult trading conditions, the rent collection
statistics through the year remained good with 95% of rental income
collected within one month of the quarter day.
Income Expiry Profile - 31 March 2012
Under 5 years 72%
5 - 10 years 23%
Over 10 years 5%
Of the portfolio's 123 tenants, 20 account for 56% of the contracted
rental income with the top 10 accounting for 39%. Tenants of, in
our view, a very strong or "national" standard account for 77% of
the contracted rent, while smaller regional and local businesses
account for 23% of the contracted rent.

Going Forward
With continuing uncertainty in the Eurozone, the long awaited investment
led recovery in the UK that many have been hoping for appears very
unlikely in the near future. Our focus will continue to be on unlocking
the latent value within the portfolio through proactive asset management.
We believe there are a good number of clear opportunities to both
maintain and create additional value within the portfolio. These
are actively being pursued.
Some asset sales may be considered where assets have reached their
optimal values and where proceeds can be applied against debt as
required, taking into account the impact on loan covenant compliance.
The focus of the portfolio in the London/South East area generally
and on the "Olympic" side of London in particular should have a positive
impact on its holdings and also mitigate the impact if there is a
prolonged period of nil or low economic growth.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The objective of O Twelve Estates Limited and its subsidiaries is
to generate an attractive return for Shareholders through the assembly
of a portfolio of investment properties in its Target Area, which
comprises all London boroughs and the counties of Kent, Surrey, East
Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire
and Essex.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The investment policy of the Group is to establish a property portfolio
that is diverse by sector (whether industrial, retail, office, or
residential), by tenant and by capital value. The Group's key criterion
for property acquisitions is the potential for rental and capital
value growth through active property management and/or through a
re-characterisation of the acquired real estate. Re-characterisation
may arise purely as a result of the so called "Olympic effect" on
the location, or it may need to be actively encouraged. Bringing
about such re-characterisation may range from a simple image improvement
programme for a previously neglected industrial estate to attract
better quality tenants, to a full redevelopment scheme following
the grant of planning consent for a change of use (for example from
commercial to a residential or mixed-use project).
Whilst the majority of properties acquired are income-producing,
the creation of further value through development or refurbishment
is actively pursued. Development may be undertaken selectively across
the sectors either by the acquisition of sites, with or without the
benefit of planning consent, or through the management of income-producing
properties into development opportunities. In certain locations a
site assembly programme may be pursued with a view to obtaining planning
consent for a comprehensive re-development. Joint ventures may also
be entered into in circumstances where the continuing involvement
of existing landowners, local authorities or central government agencies
is necessary, or for large projects where a sharing of financial
risk is appropriate. The Group may also pursue other indirect investments
through property investment partnerships or unit trusts or investments
in the equities of other property investment or property holding
companies.
The structure used for each property acquisition is reviewed at purchase.
Accordingly, the Company may, without limit, incorporate further
subsidiaries to hold property or may acquire the share capital of
companies, units in unit trusts, or partnership interests in partnerships
which own one or more properties.
Investment Restrictions
No property acquisition or new letting will be made if, immediately
after the proposed acquisition or letting:
* less than 75% of Gross Property Asset Value will be
situated within the Target Area; or
* any single tenant, other than any government or
governmental (central or local), quasi-governmental,
supranational statutory or regulatory body will
account for more than 20% of contracted rental
income.
Provided that these restrictions will not apply if Gross Property
Asset Value is less than GBP100 million.
Life span of the Company
There are no specific provisions for the life span of the Company,
although the Directors estimate it to be up to 12 years. In accordance
with the Articles of Incorporation, a resolution will be proposed
at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2014 and
at each Annual General Meeting held every two years thereafter giving
Shareholders the opportunity to vote on whether the Company should
continue as an investment company or to call for a winding up of
the Company and a return of its distributable assets to Shareholders.
Dividend Policy
The initial focus of the Company is the delivery of capital growth
for Shareholders and therefore the Company will only consider the
payment of dividends as and when it is appropriate to do so. To the
extent that any dividends are paid they will be paid in accordance
with any applicable laws and the regulations to which the Company
is subject.
Borrowings
Borrowings will not normally exceed 65% of the value of the Group's
property portfolio at the time new borrowings are drawn down. Interest
rate hedging is considered in the light of prevailing conditions
at that time.
