Net Asset Value
The unaudited net asset value ('NAV') per share of the Group as at 31 December
2016 was 135.5 pence. This represents an increase of 2.7 per cent from the
unaudited NAV per share as at 30 September 2016 of 132.0 pence and a NAV total
return for the quarter of 3.8 per cent.
The NAV has been calculated under International Financial Reporting Standards
('IFRS'). It is based on the external valuation of the Group's direct property
portfolio prepared by CBRE Limited.
The NAV includes all income to 31 December 2016 and is calculated after
deduction of all dividends paid prior to that date. As at 31 December 2016 no
adjustments were required to the NAV in respect of dividends for which the
share price had gone ex-dividend.
Share Price
The share price was 136.4 pence per share at 31 December 2016, which
represented a premium of 0.6 per cent to the NAV per share announced above. The
share price total return for the quarter was 12.2 per cent.

quarter to 31 December 2016 was 2.1%, after allowing for capital expenditure.

# Net gearing: (Borrowings - cash) ÷ total assets (less current liabilities and
cash).
Performance
The capital value growth of 2.1% over the quarter compares favourably with the
IPD Quarterly Index which recorded capital value growth of 1.0% over the same
period.
The portfolio structure was beneficial, having no exposure to shopping centres
and only one small building in the City of London. The sale of 25 Great
Pulteney Street, London W1 and the completion of the commercial units at the
redevelopment of 71-77 Wigmore Street, London W1 were both events contributing
to a strong quarter. The industrial and logistics sector produced good returns
as asset management and a further hardening of capitalisation rates underpinned
performance.

Property Purchases and Sales
The Board announced previously that, on 22 December 2016, the Company completed
the sale of its Freehold interest in 25 Great Pulteney Street, London W1 for GBP
54.4 million, reflecting a net initial yield of 3.95 per cent. The
property comprises a seven-storey building providing high quality,
contemporary, Grade A office accommodation and is fully let to four
tenants. The sale price compares to the valuation as at 30 September 2016 of GBP
51.2 million.
25 Great Pulteney Street is a property that the Company fully redeveloped,
completing in 2011. It was subsequently leased at high rents reflecting the
quality of the building. The most recent re- letting achieved a rent of GBP
96.50psf. The disposal crystallises substantial value for the Company, reduces
its exposure to Central London and allows capital to be deployed into other
opportunities.
Borrowings
The Group's borrowings consist of a GBP260 million loan with a term to 31
December 2024 and a fixed interest rate of 3.32 per cent per annum. The Group
also has a GBP50 million bank loan with a term to 21 June 2021 on which the
interest rate has been fixed, through an interest rate swap of the same
notional value and duration, at 2.522 per cent per annum. In addition the Board
has agreed an additional revolving credit facility of GBP50 million with Barclays
over the same period, to be used for ongoing working capital purposes and to
provide the Group with the flexibility to acquire further property should the
opportunity arise.
The Group's weighted cost of debt is therefore 3.3 per cent per annum.
Key Information
This statement and further information regarding the Company, including
movements in the share price since the end of the period and the Group's most
recent annual and interim reports, can be found at the Company's website
www.fccpt.co.uk.
The next quarterly valuation of the property portfolio will be conducted by
CBRE Limited during March 2017 and it is expected that the unaudited NAV per
share as at 31 March 2017 will be announced in April 2017.
