Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report that the Group has made significant progress during 2007.

In May 2007, the Company successfully raised a further #100 million (before
expenses) by means of a placing (the "Placing") of 83,333,334 new ordinary
shares at 120p per share. Together with the proceeds raised from the Company's
admission to trading on AIM in July 2005, the Company has now raised proceeds of
#240 million (before expenses). At the time of the Placing, the Company also
sought to participate in development and regeneration projects by investing up
to 25 per cent of its equity into retail property development and regeneration
projects.

The Group has largely completed its investment programme well ahead of the
target timetable of December 2008 set at the time of the Placing. The Group now
has a well diversified portfolio of 55 property assets across 7 countries in
Central and Eastern Europe. The Company has built a good reputation and track
record within its target markets, developing strong relationships with local
businesses through its property investment advisor, Dawnay, Day PanTerra.

As the Company has now substantially invested the entire net proceeds of the
Placing, the primary focus is on active portfolio and individual asset
management, together with development initiatives in order to provide rental and
capital growth opportunities.

Operations

During the year, the Group completed a total of eight acquisitions, comprising
three retail property portfolios and five retail development sites.

The Marina Mokotow transaction comprises 31 retail units in an upmarket
residential development in Warsaw. In October 2007, the Group also acquired a
portfolio comprising two properties in Hungary and two in the Czech Republic,
which will provide secure, long term income flow, being let to major
international brand retailers on long leases. Finally, in December 2007, the
Group completed the purchase of six supermarkets in Croatia, the Company's first
purchase in that country. The units, in excess of 32,000 sqm, are let to the
largest retailer in Croatia.

As at 31 December 2007, the Group had acquired investment properties at a total
cost of #429.6 million, with an annualised rent roll in excess of #33.5 million
and a blended net initial yield of 7.8%.

During the course of the year, the Group also acquired a pipeline of four
development opportunities in Romania, for a total cost of #37.3 million,
allowing the Company to establish a strong presence in that country. All of
these projects will be undertaken in conjunction with our joint venture, Atrium
Developments. Current plans provide for the development of over 150,000 sqm,
with an end value in excess of approximately #300 million. Heads of terms have
already been agreed with a number of reputable operators and anchor tenants.
Construction is expected to span a two to three year period. Further, the
Company is also in advanced negotiations with several banks with whom it has
established relationships in relation to the arrangement of development
financing for the projects.

In addition, the Group has also entered into a forward purchase agreement to act
as a development funding partner in exchange for a 55% interest in a prime, city
centre retail development in Riga, with a planned opening in the second quarter
of 2010. This development has secured 100% of the construction financing
required and the leasing discussions are progressing well.

The gross lettable area of the portfolio is approximately 400,000 sqm, and the
Company's property investment advisor, Dawnay, Day PanTerra, has identified the
potential to increase this by approximately 20% over the next few years.

The revaluation surplus at 31 December 2007 at the individual property level
varies due to the length of actual ownership of each property. The Antana
Logistic Park and the Ericsson Office Building complex were both acquired with
the intention of implementing regeneration projects to maximise their future
value while providing attractive income yields at present.

* valuation at purchase, and capitalised costs

The planned gross lettable area of the four developments in Romania is expected
to exceed 150,000 sqm.

When completed, the Riga development will be in excess of 35,000 sqm, and the
Company has invested approximately #20.3m in the project to date, in the form of
an asset backed loan.

Financial Results

The net rental and related income for the year amounted to #24.3 million, an
increase of 91% over 2006, reflecting a first-time, full year contribution from
those properties acquired in 2006 and the acquisitions made during 2007.

The portfolio has been valued by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited ('DTZ') as at 31
December 2007 at #523.1 million,  giving a net uplift of #16 million compared to
the 31 December 2006 valuation (or the purchase price if acquired  thereafter).
The cumulative revaluation surplus amounts to #55.2 million (excluding foreign
exchange movements).

As the Group's functional currency is the euro, and its presentation currency is
sterling, the continued strengthening of the euro against sterling had to be
presented in the financial statements in accordance with IFRS. This has resulted
in an unrealised foreign exchange loss on its sterling cash deposits of #7.0
million over the period, while a net unrealised gain of #23.1 million on the
euro denominated property valuation was classified under the translation
reserve. The present strengthening of the euro benefits the shareholders of the
Group as it is the underlying currency for the majority of its rental income.

The Company overall generated a net profit before tax of #21.9 million. Adjusted
profit before tax, which excludes any fair value and exchange movements amounted
to #11.5 million, an increase of 18% over 2006.

Basic earnings per share were 8.3 pence, while the diluted earnings per share is
7.3 pence for the year. The adjusted earnings per share excluding the unrealised
tax liabilities is 12 pence for the year.

The net asset value per share, adjusted to exclude goodwill and associated
deferred tax liabilities arising on the  property valuations, has risen to 136.7
pence from 126.7 pence, an increase of 8%. Non-adjusted, net asset value per 
share has also risen, to 123.9 pence from 114.2 pence at 31 December 2006, an
increase of 8.5%.

At 31 December 2007, the Group's borrowings totalled #310.4 million,
representing a loan to value ratio of 57% and a loan to cost ratio of 69% of the
investment property. Following the #30 million refinancing of the Agrokor
Portfolio in March 2008, the loan to value ratio has risen to 62% and a loan to
cost ratio of 76% of the investment property. The above loan balance also
includes land and development related financing at a total amount of #13.7
million.

All loans are secured against properties and are denominated in euros. The
weighted average interest rate for the year was 5.52%. Hedging instruments are
in place for all loans, which swap the variable Euribor rate to fixed rate with
a weighted average rate of 3.7%.

The Group actively manages its cash flow to deliver maximum returns. At the 2007
year end, the Group's current liabilities were temporarily higher than its
current assets which was primarily due to the equity invested into the Agrokor
project. The purchase contract provided for the transaction to be rescinded
should debt financing be unavailable. However, as the debt financing was
successfully completed, in March 2008 the Group has, as anticipated returned to
a positive balance of current assets and liabilities.

Dividends

A first interim dividend of 3.33 pence per share for the year ending 31 December
2007 was declared in April 2007 and was paid in September 2007.

A second interim dividend, also of 3.33 pence per share, was declared in
November 2007 and paid in January 2008. This second interim dividend was the
first dividend in respect of which the new placing shares issued in May
qualified for.

The Board intends to declare, subject to shareholder approval, a final dividend
for the year, of 3.34 pence per share. This will result in an aggregate dividend
payment of 10 pence per share for the year ending 31 December 2007, which
achieves the Board's previously stated target.

In light of the markedly different economic climate, and the impact this has had
on the property sector, the Board has  set a new dividend objective for 2008 of
8 pence per share which still represents an attractive yield but also takes 
account of the current market environment.  The dividend is expected to be
funded partially from value realizations and  from income generated by the
investment properties.

Outlook

While we believe that the current uncertain market and financial conditions will
no doubt continue for some time, in our view the diversity of our portfolio and
the expertise of our property investment advisor will assist us to continue to
add value for shareholders in order to deliver very attractive returns.

Having now successfully invested the available funds well ahead of our target
timetable, the immediate focus will be to realise value within our investment
portfolio and to progress our development projects. The key to our continuing
success rests upon utilising the property investment advisor's extensive local
experience, and relationships across our markets. In addition, we will progress
asset management opportunities including adding additional space to our existing
properties and look to take advantage of the current environment through
opportunities such as distressed sales. We are therefore confident of continuing
to deliver value to our shareholders in the current financial year and beyond.
