Net Asset Value 
 
The unaudited net asset value ('NAV') per share of the Group as at 31 December 
2019 was 130.9 pence. This represents a decrease of 2.0 per cent from the 
unaudited NAV per share as at 30 September 2019 of 133.6 pence and a NAV total 
return for the quarter of -0.9 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 31 December 2019 and is calculated after 
deduction of all dividends paid prior to that date. As at 31 December 2019, 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 115.60 pence per share at 31 December 2019, which 
represented a discount of 11.7 per cent to the NAV per share announced above. 
The share price total return for the quarter was 0.4 per cent.

Market 
 
UK commercial real estate delivered a total return of 0.3 per cent over the 
quarter according to the MSCI UK Monthly Index. All property capital values 
fell by 1.0 per cent. 
 
Retail properties continue to be impacted by both the distress in the occupier 
markets and a re-rating of pricing. Capital values fell by 4.4 per cent over 
the period. The office and industrial sectors were reasonably solid, recording 
positive total returns of 1.5 per cent and 1.9 per cent respectively. 
 
Activity in the capital markets increased post the General Election with a 
flurry of deals completing prior to the year end. 
 
Performance 
 
The Company's property portfolio delivered an ungeared total return of -0.3 per 
cent over the quarter to December. 
 
The portfolio suffered a 1.4 per cent fall in capital values with the retail 
properties and other commercial properties let to retailers, suffering the 
largest fall in values. The most significant falls were as follows: 
 
  * The Crescent, Wimbledon, had the estimated rental value of the retail units 
    reduced and the capitalisation rate moved out 60 basis points, equating to 
    a fall in value of 6.1 per cent. 
  * Capitalisation rates continued to move out in the retail warehouse sector 
    resulting in the Company's two largest retail warehouses at Newbury and 
    Solihull falling in value by a combined 3.4 per cent. 
  * The value of St. Christopher's Place fell 0.8 per cent due to the continued 
    re-basing of rental values along Oxford Street with the value of the 
    remainder of the Estate largely holding firm. 
  * The logistics portfolio was adversely affected by the property at Daventry 
    which is let to Mothercare. The property benefits from a rental guarantee 
    from a Mothercare company not in Administration, but the valuers moved the 
    yield out by 75 basis points (12 per cent fall in capital value) to reflect 
    the uncertainty surrounding the covenant. 
 
Investment Activity 
 
There were no sales or purchases during the quarter. 
 
Lease Activity 
 
Of particular note post the quarter end was the completion of an unconditional 
letting to Marks & Spencer at Sears Retail Park, Solihull, significantly 
expanding the retailers existing presence on the park. The lease is for a 
redeveloped 35,000 sq. ft store which was formerly a Homebase. This is on a 
20-year lease (breaks year 10 and 15) at an uplift on the previous passing 
rent. 
 
As part of the redevelopment, the new store will be combined with Marks & 
Spencer's adjacent Food Hall. The combined store will create an 82,000 sq. ft. 
store incorporating General Merchandise, a larger Food Hall, as well as a Marks 
& Spencer Café. It is expected that the new premises will be handed over to M&S 
for fit out upon completion of the redevelopment at the end of 2020. This is a 
high-profile initiative which reflects Marks & Spencer's satisfaction with the 
location and supports the ongoing appetite from selected retail brands for the 
right space, in the right locations. 
 
Construction works have started at Newbury Retail Park to create new stores for 
Lidl and Deichman Shoes and it is hoped these new lettings will attract other 
new retailers to the park. 
 
The void rate on the Company's portfolio was 4.8 per cent as at 31 December 
2019, prior to the new letting at Solihull. There are also other important 
lettings close to contracting.
