Financial performance
· As at 30 September 2022, the value of the Group's investments was £194.1 million (£168.7 million as at 31 March 2022; £263.1 million as at 30 September 2021). The value increased against the previous period as a result of foreign exchange rates, principally GBP:USD. The comparable rates were GBP:USD 1.12 as at 30 September 2022 against GBP:USD 1.31 as at 31 March 2022.
· Net liabilities were £85.7 million as at 30 September 2022 (net liabilities of £46.8 million as at 31 March 2022 and net assets of £72.1 million as at 30 September 2021). The value increased against the previous period due to the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on the Group's borrowings, which are primarily USD denominated.
· As announced in the annual results on 21 December 2022, the net liability position is based on agreed preliminary terms with a third party and the ascribed net minimum consideration for IIP's largest holding, Distribution Logistics Infrastructure Limited ("DLI"). The proposed transaction is structured in two parts, with a deferred consideration - not included in the valuation - which the Directors expect to have a positive impact on net assets in due course. The Board will be making further announcements as and when appropriate.
