liquidity. An increased appetite for risk, and yield, is forcing investors to consider portfolios. This presents an opportunity to conduct a realisation of the portfolio albeit that prevailing valuations may not be realisable. Rory Morrison Invesco Asset Management Limited 27 November 2014 . BUSINESS REVIEW Invesco Property Income Trust Limited is a Jersey domiciled property investment company and its investment objective is set out below. The strategy the Board follows to achieve that objective is to set investment policy and limits, and to monitor how they are applied. These are also set out below and have been approved by shareholders. The business model the Company has adopted to achieve its objective has been to contract investment management and administration to appropriate external service providers, who are subject to oversight by the Board. The Company's main supplier of services is Invesco Asset Management Limited (the `Investment Manager') which provides investment portfolio and management services. Further details of the external service providers are contained in the Report of the Directors on page 21. Investment Objective and Policy The Company's Investment Objective and Policy, set out below, have been designed to set out clearly the investment objective of the Company and provide shareholders with information on the policies that the Company follows in order to try to achieve its objective. These relate to asset allocation, risk diversification and gearing, including maximum exposures. The objective and policy were revised in 2011 to reflect a realisation programme, rather than an indefinite life as was the case previously, and further revised (and approved by shareholders) in 2013. Investment Objective The Company holds a diversified portfolio of European commercial properties. The investment objective of the Company has been to repay its bank borrowings and other liabilities and, if it is able to meet these obligations, to provide a return for shareholders. The Directors no longer expect to be able to meet the Group's liabilities in full and so do not expect there to be any surplus for shareholders. Investment Policy The Company has pursued its investment objective by seeking to optimise value from the Group's current portfolio, comprising a diversified portfolio of investment properties located in the UK and continental Europe. It is expected that the principal source of funds from which to repay borrowings and meet other liabilities will be the net proceeds from disposals of assets in the Group's property portfolio. It is likely that all of the property investments will need to be sold to meet the Company's obligations to its lenders and other creditors and that not all such obligations will be met in full. The Directors do not expect that: * any new investments will be made (other than cash or near cash equivalent securities); * any net new borrowings will be drawn down; or * any dividends will be paid. Performance Key Performance Indicators The Board reviews performance by reference to a number of Key Performance Indicators which include the following: * Asset Performance * Income generation * Ongoing Charges Ratio Asset Performance In the circumstances faced by the Company the key metric for asset performance has been the LTV ratio. LTV has been greater than 100% at each quarter end during the period. Income Generation The Board has also monitored closely the Group's cash revenues against the interest cover covenants in the loan facility. The Group has remained cash flow positive and compliant with the covenants. Ongoing Charges Ratio The expenses of the Company are reviewed by the Board at every Board meeting. It is the aim of the Board to minimise charges. The ongoing charges ratio provides a guide to the effect on performance of the costs of the Company. The ratio of charges to gross assets for the year was 1.6% (2013: 1.5%). The increase in the ratio masks a small reduction in expenses payable and is due to the fall in gross assets as assets were sold in the year. Financial Position Assets and Liabilities At the year end, the Group had a total net liabilities position of GBP37.7 million (2013: total net liabilities of GBP35.0 million) equal to -24.6p per share (2013: -22.9p). The assets comprised a portfolio of European property in the office and industrial sectors and the liabilities included bank borrowings totalling GBP150.8 million (2013: GBP191.3 million). At the year end, liabilities included an amount of GBP7.98 million representing the mark to market value of currency swaps. With the agreement of the lending bank the swaps were closed out on 17 April 2014, crystallising a liability of GBP 7.76 million. This was settled from a new drawdown on the Group's borrowing facility. Share Valuations and Net Asset Value (`NAV') On 31 March 2014, the mid-market share price, the NAV and the adjusted NAV (see glossary on page 65) per ordinary share were 0.25p, -24.6p and -19.5p (2013: 0.6p, -22.9p and -11.5p) respectively. The NAVs per ordinary share are calculated on 153 million shares in issue at the year end and net liabilities attributable to ordinary shareholders of GBP37,671,000 (2013: GBP34,988,000). The listing of the Company's shares was suspended on 28 July 2014 and there is no longer any market price. Revenue and Dividends The financial results for the year are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on page 32. No dividends have been paid during the year under review (2013: GBPnil), and no further dividends are expected to be paid. Borrowing The Group's borrowing facility in place at the year end fell due for repayment on 28 September 2014. The Directors did not expect to be able to meet the repayment obligation and, with their advisers, had been engaged in discussions with the lending banks for some time over how to address the position. The conclusion to these discussions, announced in July 2014 and with the support and consent of the lending bank, was for the Company's remaining properties to be marketed in a structured sales process, aiming to achieve a sale of all assets before the end of 2014. To facilitate this, the repayment date of the facility has now been extended to 31 December 2014. Other terms of the facility remain largely unaltered, including covenants. The Group is in breach of the Loan to Value covenant, but in the circumstances this will not act to inhibit implementation of the sales process. It is not expected that the net sales proceeds will be sufficient to meet all amounts due to lenders and the lending banks have agreed that amounts still outstanding following the process will be treated as no longer owing, allowing the group companies to be wound up solvently. The Group also has borrowings due to Invesco Limited (`Invesco'), the parent company of the Investment Manager. The Invesco facility is subordinated to the bank facility and no amounts are permitted to be paid to Invesco until the lending bank has been paid in full. Invesco has consented to the sales process and will also waive any amounts due to it that cannot be paid at completion of the sales process. Hedging Hedging policy is under the control of the Board. Cashflow hedging was used to limit the extent of earnings exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The terms of the Group's borrowing facility require the Group generally to hedge its interest rate exposure but during the year the Lender consented to waivers of this requirement in view of the disposal and debt repayment programme under way. The Group's interest rate exposure remains partially hedged through the use of a basket of interest rate swaps. As at 31 March 2014, interest on 97% of sterling borrowings and 33% of euro borrowings was payable at fixed rates of interest. The rate payable amounted to a weighted average of 2.9% (2013: 4.5%) per annum, including the margin. The euro interest rate hedges were cancelled in April 2014 with the currency swaps as described below and have not been replaced. The remaining sterling interest rate hedges expired on 28 September 2014 and have not been replaced. The Group hedged against fluctuations in the euro for the net investment in European assets, by hedging against future movements in the euro/sterling exchange rate for the amount of the investment in euro denominated assets less borrowings in euros. As a result of falling asset values in Europe the Group's exposure to the Euro is overhedged. At the year end these particular hedges were ineffective and they were cancelled at a cost of GBP7.8 million in April 2014. The currency exposure is now unhedged. Current and Future Developments As described in the Chairman's statement the Board and the Investment Manager are engaged in a process to dispose of all the remaining property assets. The objective is to have completed the sale before the end of 2014, following which the Directors expect to begin the process of winding up the group companies. In the event that the sales process is not successful alternative outcomes will be discussed with the lending banks but in no circumstances is it expected that shareholders will receive any return. Principal Risks and Uncertainties The principal risk factors relating to the Company can be divided into various areas: Investment Policy The Board has established guidelines to ensure that the Investment Policy approved by shareholders is pursued by the Investment Manager. There is no guarantee that the Investment Policy adopted by the Company will provide the returns sought by the Company. There can be no guarantee, therefore, that the Company will achieve its investment objective and, as set out under Current and Future Developments above it currently appears unlikely that the Company will be able to. Ordinary Shares and Dividends The market value of an ordinary share is affected by its NAV, but also reflects
