Company Performance Overview:

Net Asset Value - Invista European Real Estate Trust listed on the main market
of the London Stock Exchange on 20 December 2006 at an issue price of 200p.
Adjusted NAV has grown 10.1% since IPO (proforma NAV of Euro2.82). The total NAV
return, including dividends, from IPO to 30 September 2007 was 11.8%.

Property Portfolio - The value of the property portfolio as at 30 September 2007
was Euro724.3m and consisted of 46 properties. The Company is committed to
acquiring one further property valued at Euro12m. The Company purchased three
logistics properties during the quarter totalling Euro40.5m, two of which are

Company's portfolio on a like-for-like basis, increased in value over the

Portfolio Fundamentals - The property portfolio including committed assets is

currently being pursued to optimise returns which, together with the benefits of
lease indexation, positions the portfolio well for future value growth.

Asset Management Highlights:

Acquisitions

The Company completed the purchase of three logistics properties located in Tiel
and Amsterdam in The Netherlands and Prague, in the Czech Republic totalling
Euro40.5m. The Company committed to purchase these properties in December 2005 (at
pre-agreed yields) and closed the transactions following completion of certain
conditions relating to construction, occupation and receipt of rent from
tenants. The properties are let to multi national logistics companies Christian
Salvesen, DHL and Bax Global and are complementary to the existing logistics
assets in the portfolio. The Company purchased a portfolio of five office
properties in Brussels, Belgium on 19 December 2007, valued at acquisition at
Euro33.1 million. The portfolio provides the opportunity to benefit from upside in
leasing vacant accommodation in two of the properties whose purchase was
underwritten off a low rental level.

Committed Assets

The Company is committed to purchase a logistics property in Girona, Spain for
Euro12m.

Pipeline

Invista Real Estate Investment Management, the investment manager, has access to
strong deal flow of c. Euro3bn per month in Continental Europe and continues to
review a number of potential transactions for the Company. Such transactions are
analysed to enable the company to capture growth through accessing different
markets, regions, sectors or market cycles. Invista Real Estate Investment
Management continues to focus on the main Western European markets - and will
trade in and out of market cycles to capture value where appropriate.

Active Asset Management

Against the background of a challenging capital markets environment the
implementation of an active asset management strategy remains central to
delivering NAV performance. Yield driven capital growth has contributed to
double digit returns in the sector in the last 18-24 months, however fundamental
decisions concerning stock selection and identifying growth markets, regions of
countries or sectors that are forecast to outperform will become an increasingly
important component of property returns. Invista Real Estate Investment
Management has always been focused on such property level characteristics and
identifying growth opportunities that can be generated through active
management. These intiatives, such as lease re-gears, identifying assets
appropriate for sale, investigating use of surplus land etc are now beginning to
generate benefits across the portfolio which have positively contributed to
returns. Further details of such asset management initiatives will be reported,
subject to confidentiality arrangements, once formal agreements have been
reached with tenants/occupiers.
