Further re Recovery of Deposits - Canon House, Wallington

Further to the announcement on 26 October 2010, the Fund is pleased to announce that it has now received settlement in full in respect of its insurance claim for a GBP1.1 million deposit paid to Henry Homes (Wallington) Limited ("HHW") on the commencement of the Canon House project. On 31 March 2010, HHW was subject to a winding up order and is now in insolvent liquidation. As a result of HHW's insolvent liquidation and as a beneficiary of the policies to cover such a situation, the Fund made a claim on 9 April 2010 to recover the entire amount of the deposit from the insurer, Zurich Insurance.

As a result of the settlement of this claim, the Fund's only asset is approximately GBP1.8 million in cash. The Directors of the Fund are considering the timing and mechanics of returning funds to shareholders and the likely timetable for the conclusion of the process to wind up the Fund. A further announcement will be made shortly.
