RNS Number:6078T Comland Commercial PLC 23 December 2003 COMLAND COMMERCIAL PLC INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2003 CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT I have pleasure in reporting to you the interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2003. Results In the six month period to 30 September 2003, operating income, which is primarily rental income, has increased to #3.47 million from #2.03 million for the same period last year. Operating profit has increased to #2.56 million from #1.44 million for the six months to 30 September 2003. Pre tax profits for the six months have increased to #1.24 million from #0.33 million. No dividend will be paid. MERCURY PARK We now have two first floor units of 3,047 sq ft and 3,433 sq ft to let and continue to offer incentives including short-term lettings in an attempt to find tenants for the space. Rents have fallen by approximately 20% since their peak in 2002. DEVELOPMENTS We have started the redevelopment of 62 High Street in Marlow. This involves the extension and refurbishment of the retail unit, refurbishment of a residential flat and construction of a new flat. We currently have no tenant for the retail unit but hope given the strong location that upon completion we will be able to let the 1,500 square feet available. ACQUISITIONS In April 2003 we completed the acquisition of Premium House on the Broadway in Farnham Common for #805,000. This is a medium to long term redevelopment opportunity which benefits from short-term income of 7.4% on cost. In September 2003 we completed the acquisition of Parade Court, Bourne End for #600,000. This acquisition has good site area and has redevelopment potential for residential use. We are currently reviewing possible schemes for the site for which we will seek planning permission. The property generates good short-term income of 7.3% on cost. In December 2003 we exchanged contracts on the #8,270,000 acquisition of Red Lion House in High Wycombe. We are due to complete the purchase in early January 2004. This town centre acquisition includes a 62,000 sq. ft unit let to Woolworths Plc until 2026 and a car park let to National Car Parks Limited for 12 1/2 years. We have options to break the car park lease and believe that this location offers a variety of alternative uses for the future. DISPOSALS We continue to be patient in attempting to maximise the return from the disposal of properties within our portfolio. We have accepted an offer for one of our properties and hope to complete at least two disposals prior to the end of this financial year. DOCTORnow This private general practice commenced trading in April 2003. Whilst revenues have grown month on month since April this business is still some way from viability, currently losing between #20,000 and #30,000 per month. The take-up of this service has been slower than first anticipated and in the New Year we are going to embark on a more comprehensive marketing campaign. I receive many positive comments about the service and I continue to believe this concept is the way forward for general practice to supplement the services of the NHS. FUTURE Since the summer we have seen some positive signs for the commercial property market. We have managed to secure three new tenants at Mercury Park, albeit on less attractive terms than those achieved 18 months ago. We now have less than 10,000 sq ft of vacant office and industrial space. We continue to look for well located acquisitions, particularly in town centres. Our acquisition strategy is enabling us to build a portfolio of short and long term development opportunities whilst maintaining an income stream to cover holding and management costs.
