In House Group Plc
("In House" or the "Company")
Trading Update
The Board of In House announces that the Company has been in regular
discussions with the Dunfermline Building Society ("Dunfermline"), which
indicated in its latest update to the Company that it expected the existing
facilities to continue to their expiration (the first occurring in August
2010). After this the Company does not expect the facilities to be renewed.
Clearly, the management of the facilities is now out of the Dunfermline's
hands, due to the recent change in ownership, and therefore the Company awaits
information from the new managers. The Company have maintained its interest
payments on time every month and have no formal breaches or demand letters
issued from the Dunfermline.
The Company is also in discussions with several investors with a view to
completing a refinancing of In House to ensure it can complete the
refurbishment of the properties as referred to in the Interim Review and,
indeed, exploit new acquisition opportunities as and when they arise. The
Company expects to be able to update the market with more details of this
shortly.
The Company is pleased to announce a new framework deal with Jomast Properties,
a direct government agency, for the provision of accommodation. In House Group
have apportioned a majority of the Stockton Upon Tees properties to Jomast on
the basis of a 2 year contract until 2011. This gives added security to the
portfolio going forward and allows the Company to concentrate on its other
property assets. Jomast have signed up for one property initially although the
Company expects this to be rolled out across the remaining Stockton Upon Tees
properties, amounting to 53 Units, shortly.
