Net Asset Value
The unaudited net asset value ('NAV') per share of the Group as at 30 June 2018
was 143.2 pence. This represents an increase of 0.2 per cent from the unaudited
NAV per share as at 31 March 2018 of 142.9 pence and a NAV total return for the
quarter of 1.3 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 30 June 2018 and is calculated after deduction
of all dividends paid prior to that date. As at 30 June 2018, 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 150.60 pence per share at 30 June 2018, which represented a
premium of 5.2 per cent to the NAV per share announced above. The share price
total return for the quarter was 7.6 per cent.

# Net gearing: (Borrowings - cash) ÷ total assets (less current liabilities and

Performance
The capital value growth over the quarter was 0.4%. The IPD Monthly Index
recorded capital value growth of 0.9% over the period.
At the sector level industrials and offices recorded the highest capital growth
in the portfolio with valuations increasing on the back of further yield
compression in the industrial and logistics sector and on the progress of asset
management activities in the office sector. As widely reported the retail
market remains challenging. The Company has no exposure to shopping centres and
limited exposure to traditional High Streets. However, the Company's retail
warehouses have been affected by Company Voluntary Arrangements ('CVA's'),
specifically New Look and Mothercare where rents at Newbury Retail Park have
reduced, impacting the Company's rent roll by 0.5%.
The strong performance of the Alternative sector is due to the annual rental
uplift being agreed at the purpose built student accommodation block at
Winchester and yield compression in the sector for long leased properties.

Property Purchases and Sales
The Company completed the purchase of Hurricane 47, Estuary Business Park,
Liverpool for GBP3.995 million as well as an adjoining site of 3.6 acres with
planning consent for the construction of a 52,000 sq. ft. unit for GBP1.080
million. Hurricane 47 comprises a 47,462 sq. ft. speculatively developed
building, which achieved practical completion in April 2018 and is constructed
to a high specification. The Company has entered into a forward commitment to
acquire the warehouse to be constructed on completion of the works at an
additional sum of GBP3.382 million. The Company already has an existing property
on Estuary Business Park having acquired a warehouse let to Adient Seating in
April 2014. The investment provides the Company with an opportunity to generate
sustainable income and to benefit from the lack of supply for new buildings
and strong occupier demand, both of which are driving up rents in the logistics
sector.
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 average cost of debt is 3.3 per cent per annum.
Key Information
This statement and further information regarding the Company, including
