David Jeffreys, Chairman of Alpha Tiger, commented:

"Alpha Tiger remains committed to its disciplined strategy and investment principles which focus on opportunities that can deliver high total returns, while seeking to manage risk through a combination of operational controls, diversification and preferred return structures. The application of this strategy has been successfully demonstrated in the Company´s investment in the H2O shopping centre in Madrid and in Alpha UK Multi Property Trust Plc. Shorter term investments such as the Company´s investment in Freehold Income Trust demonstrate a commitment to improve shareholder returns including the component derived from income. The anchoring of the H2O investment with a new supermarket operator demonstrates property level added value from the Company's active management approach to its underlying property investments.

Alpha Tiger remains in a strong position to capitalise on further opportunistic investments."

ALPHA TIGER PROPERTY TRUST LIMITED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011

Trust summary and objective

Objective

Alpha Tiger Property Trust Limited ("the Company", "the Trust" or "Alpha Tiger") targets investment and development opportunities in real estate, including real estate operating companies, securities, services and other related businesses that offer high total returns.

Management

The Company's Investment Manager is Alpha Real Capital LLP ("the Investment Manager" or "ARC"). Control of the Company rests with the non-executive Guernsey based Board of Directors.

Strategy

Alpha Tiger's investment strategy is unconstrained by geography and is currently focused on the UK, Europe and Asia.

The Company's real estate investments may be held either directly or indirectly through joint venture or other investment structures, including equity, debt instruments, convertible loans and options or other securities.

The Investment Manager will seek to identify investment opportunities where income and capital values can be enhanced where appropriate through the following:

·; space reconfiguration where under-utilised or inefficient areas within a building can be re-arranged to provide more valuable space;

·; refurbishment and redevelopment where space can be modernised and the specification upgraded to create space which can command higher rents;

·; re-leasing, which has the potential to increase the rental income to an open market level, when this is in excess of the existing rent;

·; space creation by extending the building to meet tenant demand; and

·; change of use which can result in higher value use for certain areas of a building or for entire properties.

Alpha Tiger has an active management philosophy in respect of its investments. 

Listing

The Company's shares are traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.

Financial highlights

Chairman's statement

I am pleased to present the Group's results for the year ending 31 March 2011.

The global economic recovery continues, with GDP growth of 4.3% forecast in 2011. In light of the series of global shocks endured since the start of the year, ranging from one of the worst natural disasters in history to unrest in oil-exporting countries, this would be a resilient outcome, albeit moderated somewhat from 4.9% in 2010, a year that saw extensive economic stimulus measures. The recent shocks have however added a further level of uncertainty to an economic climate which is clouded by diverging growth rates in emerging and developed economies and increasing inflationary pressures. Notwithstanding, 2011 is expected to be a year of continued economic consolidation as consumer and business demand climb slowly in developing economies and emerging market economies begin to exhibit a slowing down of their high growth rates.

The Economic Intelligence Unit ("EIU") indicates that there are signs that the global economy is entering a period of sustainable growth, no longer wholly dependent on government stimulus. However, a two speed global recovery continues. Many developing markets have been experiencing a vigorous recovery and are likely to continue to provide the principal support to global demand in 2011. Developed economies are experiencing a positive but subdued growth pattern. Although economic stimulus measures continue in some countries - notably in the US - they have been withdrawn in many others. Whilst less favourable monetary and fiscal policy will create headwinds for growth with the pace of global expansion expected to moderate slightly, this is part of a policy normalisation process that needs to happen as the private sector recovers. Underlying consumer and business momentum appears to be taking hold in many places.

A combination of rising oil prices and strong demand for many other commodities has pushed inflation higher in many countries. However, as a contextual backdrop, interest rates in the US have been close to zero for more than two years, and have been at historic lows in the eurozone for nearly as long and as such, a gradual normalisation of interest rates should not come as a surprise. Whilst central banks in emerging market countries began implementing a number of interest rates rises in 2010, it is notable that the European Central Bank ("ECB") implemented its first increase in almost four years in April 2011, raising its main policy rate by 25 basis points to 1.25%. This suggests that the ECB is putting more emphasis on the current rate of inflation compared to other central banks, which appear to place more emphasis on the medium-term outlook and to the durability of the recovery. Commentators have observed that the April 2011 increase is unlikely to mark the start of an aggressive round of policy tightening; instead it is likely to be a warning shot rather than the first of many increases .

During the first quarter of 2011, Portugal became the third country to seek financial support from the European Union and International Monetary Fund ("IMF") in the current cycle. Despite this, the eurozone recovery continues, with GDP growth of 1.8% forecast in 2011. As in 2010, performance across the region is anticipated to be mixed.

Sentiment in the real estate markets around the world continues to broadly track performance in underlying economies. Supported by a greater willingness of banks to lend to the sector, activity in prime segments of markets tends to be greatest.

European real estate investment activity during the first quarter of 2011 was 26% ahead of the same period in 2010. As evidenced during 2010, investor demand continues to be focused on lower risk assets and the retail sector. Although many markets reported an increase in investment transactions on the first quarter 2010, the UK and Germany continued to be the focus of activity. Yield compression for prime properties has continued into 2011 but this has potential to moderate going forward, particularly as the positive yield gap to government bonds narrows.

Alpha Tiger remains committed to its disciplined strategy and investment principles which focus on opportunities that can deliver high total returns, while seeking to manage risk through a combination of operational controls, diversification and preferred return structures. The application of this strategy has been successfully demonstrated in the Company´s investment in the H2O shopping centre in Madrid and in Alpha UK Multi Property Trust Plc. Shorter term investments such as the Company´s investment in Freehold Income Trust demonstrate a commitment to improve shareholder returns including the component derived from income. The anchoring of the H2O investment with a new supermarket operator demonstrates property level added value from the Company's active management approach to its underlying property investments. 

Alpha Tiger remains in a strong position to capitalise on further opportunistic investments.

Investment activity

Spain

H2O

As previously reported, the H2O shopping centre was acquired for €83.3 million (£73.3 million) including acquisition costs and funding has been provided for a further €5 million (£4.4 million) of capital improvements. The acquisition was financed with a €75 million (£66.0 million) seven year syndicated bank facility. Alpha Tiger provided €14.5 million (£12.75 million) of mezzanine and equity finance to the transaction. The mezzanine loan of €14 million (£12.3 million) ranks ahead of equity and accrues a coupon of 8% together with profit participation of 10% of EBITDA (after bank interest) of the Spanish property holding SPV. Alpha Real Capital LLP ("ARC") has co-invested €1.5 million (£1.3 million) in equity.

The H2O centre has a gross lettable area of 51,825 square metres, comprising 118 units including shops, a multiplex cinema and restaurants. It has a large fashion retailer base, including some of the strongest European fashion brands, including Zara, Mango, Cortefiel, H&M, C&A, Massimo Dutti and as previously announced, a new lease agreement was signed with supermarket operator, Mercadona.

The asset is jointly controlled by the Company and ARC, and the Company is proportionately consolidating its interest in the joint venture. As part of the H2O acquisition, the Company entered into an option agreement dated 31 March 2010 giving the Company the right to acquire ARC's investment for a pre-determined price (or fair value, if higher) between 1 May 2010 and 31 December 2010. As previously announced in December 2010, a new option was entered into extending this right to 21 July 2011 with the same principal terms as the original option. In addition, the Company has provided a short term acquisition VAT loan for €12.7 million (£11.2 million). The loan has earned an arrangement fee of 2% and accrues a margin of 2% over 3 month Euribor; it is expected to be repaid before the end of the 2011 calendar year when the Spanish tax authorities refund the VAT incurred.

United Kingdom

Alpha UK Multi Property Trust Plc ("AUMP")

As previously announced the Company invested, by way of convertible unsecured loan stock ("CULS"), £4.75 million in AUMP (formerly Close High Income Properties PLC), a London Stock Exchange listed UK property fund with gross property assets of £111.25 million (as at 31 March 2011). AUMP has a regionally diversified portfolio of UK light industrial and office property.

AUMP has recently reported some positive results with an earnings per share as at December 2010 of 4 pence (previous year loss of 18.2 pence per share) and a consolidated profit of the AUMP group for the year of £3.4 million. The Company's CULS earn a coupon of 4.75% per annum. The CULS have preference shares attached to them which give the Company voting rights on resolutions not pertaining to UK Listing Authority matters. The CULS are convertible into ordinary share capital at any time until June 2013 at a conversion price of 31 pence. Should Alpha Tiger not elect to convert, the CULS are redeemable at a premium of 18% to their face value.

Alpha Tiger also has an option to purchase up to a further 4 million shares in AUMP at a price of 50 pence per share (the "AUMP Option"). Should Alpha Tiger elect to exercise the CULS in full (and assuming that the CULS coupon will be met by the issue of further CULS in accordance with its terms) Alpha Tiger will hold 17.4% of AUMP's enlarged share capital (assuming no other issues of shares). If the AUMP Option is also exercised in full, Alpha Tiger will hold 20.5% of AUMP's enlarged share capital (again assuming no other issues of shares).

Freehold Income Trust ("FIT")

As previously announced, the Company invested a total of £6.2 million in FIT, an open-ended unauthorised unit trust scheme that provides secure and stable investment returns from acquiring UK residential freehold ground rents which offer an attractive income stream, capital growth prospects and attractive risk-adjusted returns. FIT owns over 63,900 freeholds in the UK with a gross annual income of £7.3 million. The forecast yield on the investment is expected to be above 4% p.a. FIT's NAV at 31 March 2011 was £151 million.

The investment is expected to be short term and is expected to provide a better return than currently derived from the Company's cash balances. FIT operates a monthly dealing facility to provide investment liquidity.

India

Galaxia, National Capital Region, NOIDA

As previously announced, Alpha Tiger and its development partner Logix Group entered into a settlement agreement to jointly explore a sale of their interests in the Galaxia project, an 11.2 acre special economic zone ("SEZ") located in NOIDA, India. This agreement lapsed on 28 May 2011. It was further announced on 2 February 2011 that, following breaches by Logix Group, the Company has recommenced arbitration proceedings in order to protect its Galaxia investment. The arbitration seeks an award of INR 450 million (£6.2 million) plus the agreed minimum investment return and a further loss of profits from the Logix Group promoters.

Notwithstanding the above, the Company is continuing to actively explore avenues for a sale of the development. Further updates will be provided in due course.

Results, financing and dividends

Adjusted earnings for the period show a profit after interest and tax of £0.426 million (see note 12 of the financial statements). The net asset value per share is 105.3 pence at 31 March 2011 (see note 13 of the financial statements) based upon 55.5 million shares in issue (see note 24 of the financial statements). 

Financing

H2O - Within the H2O joint venture, the Spanish SPV that acquired the property has drawn down senior bank finance of €75 million (£66 million) from a syndicate of banks for a term of seven years (expiring October 2017) with no LTV covenants. Loan interest is charged at a weighted average margin of 2.9% over 3 month Euribor. The SPV has taken out an interest rate cap at 2.85% (pre-margin) to hedge the interest costs on €50 million (£44 million) of debt for the loan term at a cost of €2.2 million (£1.9 million). Given positive cashflow, the scheduled 2011 bank facility amortisation was voluntarily pre-paid by the Company to reduce interest charges over the year and enable repatriation of earnings.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuation on £:€ exchange rates on the euro denominated loans it has advanced in relation to the acquisition of the shopping centre. In October 2010, the Company entered into a forward sale contract for €12.7 million (£10.9 million) relating to the loan advanced to fund the VAT incurred when the shopping centre was purchased. Additionally, in relation to the €14 million (£12 million) mezzanine loan advanced, two forward sale options have been purchased covering €7 million (£6 million) of the exposure. The Company continues to monitor remaining exchange rate exposures.

Foreign currency

All foreign currency balances have been translated at the period end rate £1:€1.137, £1:INR 72.79.

Share buyback authority

On 9 April 2010 the Company announced a buyback programme within the remit of the Company's share buyback authority. Subsequently, during May and June 2010, 550,000 ordinary shares of no par value ("Ordinary Shares") were bought back at an average price of 65 pence per share. Treasury shares totalling 61,111 were cancelled following the purchase to ensure that the Company holds no more than 10% of its share capital in treasury pursuant to Guernsey law requirements.

Further, as previously announced, following the Extraordinary General Meeting on 17 March 2011, the Company's shareholders approved a general authority allowing the Company to buy back up to 24.99% of its shares. 

During March 2011 the Company purchased 900,000 Ordinary Shares at 58.0 pence per share and 100,000 Treasury shares were cancelled following the purchase. As subsequently announced, during April and May 2011, in a series of transactions, the Company purchased 775,000 Ordinary Shares at an average price (before expenses) of 64.3 pence per share. The purchased Ordinary Shares have been cancelled together with 86,111 shares currently held in treasury.

The ordinary share capital of the Company following the purchase and cancellation of those Ordinary Shares is 60,819,215 (including shares held in treasury). The Company holds a total of 6,081,921 shares in treasury. The total voting rights in Alpha Tiger following the purchase and cancellation of the Ordinary Shares is 54,737,294.

Dividends

In accordance with the dividend policy set out in the Company's Admission Document, the Board does not propose to pay a dividend for the year.

Summary

The Company has had an active year, consolidating its investment in Spain and securing new investments in the UK. This redeployment of capital follows the successful repositioning of the Company´s investment portfolio through recycling capital from development projects in India to income-producing opportunistic investments in the UK and Europe. The Company continues to pursue further investment opportunities and is well positioned to take advantage of these as they emerge.

Property investment review

Europe - UK

Economic outlook

The UK economy as measured by GDP grew by 1.3% in 2010. This was lower than expected, owing to a 0.6% contraction in the fourth quarter of the year. This was partly attributable to the severe weather conditions experienced during December. An increase to 1.7% is forecast in 2011, which is favourable when viewed in the context of potentially dampened domestic demand arising from the government´s policy to advance cost cutting in public services.

In the recent budget, a surprise cut in corporation tax, to the lowest level of the G7 countries, was intended to assist in stimulating growth. Much uncertainty however remains with unemployment remaining elevated at 8%. Further, after an absence of several years, inflation concerns are re-emerging as the current annual rate of 4.4% is above the Bank of England target. The view that inflation is linked to transitory external factors appears to be finding a receptive audience, suggesting a delayed increase in interest rates, with the current UK yield curve implying that the market now anticipates rate rises late in 2011 or early 2012. However, given current government policy, interest rate levels are likely to remain relatively low for some time.

Property market outlook

UK investment levels reached £7.7 billion in the first quarter of 2011. Encouragingly, this is 22% higher than the first quarter of 2010, driven mainly by UK institutions.

Positive monthly rental growth has been recorded since the end of December 2010 and 'all property' rental growth during 2011 is expected to be in positive territory (over a 12-month period) for the first time since October 2008.

Property credit conditions in the UK improved throughout 2010 following a recovery in capital value growth driven by yield compression. The availability of financing remains constrained and focused on core, income-producing assets.

There are indications that more investment opportunities are coming to the market as sellers (some distressed) test the appetite for secondary assets. Prime assets remain the main investor targets, but in the absence of this stock, institutional investors are adjusting their criteria.

Strong investor interest and continuing yield compression over the past year have reduced the scope for yield driven capital growth.

Investment review

Alpha UK Multi Property Trust Plc

The Company invested, by way of convertible unsecured loan stock ("CULS"), £4.75 million in AUMP (formerly Close High Income Properties PLC), a London Stock Exchange listed UK property fund with gross property assets of £111.25 million (as at 31 March 2011). AUMP has a regionally diversified portfolio of UK light industrial and office property.

The potential to create value through the active asset management of an income focused property portfolio has been part of the Company´s rationale for its AUMP investment.

The Company's CULS earn a coupon of 4.75% per annum. The CULS have preference shares attached to them which give the Company voting rights on resolutions not pertaining to UK Listing Authority matters. The CULS are convertible into ordinary share capital at any time until June 2013 at a conversion price of 31 pence. Should Alpha Tiger not elect to convert, the CULS are redeemable at a premium of 18% to their face value.

Alpha Tiger also has an option to purchase up to a further 4 million shares in AUMP at a price of 50 pence per share (the "AUMP Option"). Should Alpha Tiger elect to exercise the CULS in full (and assuming that the CULS coupon will be met by the issue of further CULS in accordance with its terms) Alpha Tiger will hold 17.4% of AUMP's enlarged share capital (assuming no other issues of shares). If the AUMP Option is also exercised in full, Alpha Tiger will hold 20.5% of AUMP's enlarged share capital (again assuming no other issues of shares).

The investment manager of AUMP is ARC. The following highlights were included in the AUMP Interim Management Statement published in May 2011:

• Increased Net Asset Value to 33.6 pence per Ordinary Share.

• Successful disposals of two units realising £0.68 million, a premium to the most recent valuation for these properties.

• Strengthened balance sheet with reduction in debt of £1.34 million.

• The loan to value ('LTV') ratio has reduced from 73.1% to 72.5%.

• Portfolio occupancy rate continues to show strong signs of stabilising.

• Further progress in letting of vacant units.

Freehold Income Trust

As previously announced, the Company invested a total of £6.2 million in FIT, an open-ended unauthorised unit trust scheme that invests in UK residential freehold ground rents which offer an attractive income stream, capital growth prospects and attractive risk-adjusted returns. FIT owns over 63,900 freeholds in the UK with a gross annual rent income of £7.3 million. The forecast yield on the investment is expected to be above 4% p.a. post-tax. FIT's NAV at 31 March 2011 was £151 million.

The investment is expected to provide a better return than currently derived from the Company's cash balances. FIT operates a monthly dealing facility to provide liquidity.

Alpha Real Property Investment Advisers LLP ("ARPIA"), a subsidiary of ARC, is the investment manager of FIT. 

Europe - Spain

Economic outlook

The eurozone annualised consumer price inflation rate of 2.7% in March is above the ECB's inflation target of "below, but close to, 2%", albeit still not particularly high by UK and US standards. As expected, the ECB raised its main policy rate by a quarter percentage point to 1.25% p.a. in April. A second increase, of similar magnitude, is in prospect later this year as the ECB is anticipated to adopt a gradualist approach to normalising its policy rate.

Yields on 10-year Spanish government bonds have remained within a range of 5-5.5% since the start of the year, which although high, is sustainable for some time at least. The lack of any recent increases is encouraging.

Sentiment towards Spain has been improved by progress on the restructuring and recapitalisation of the troubled savings banks (cajas de ahorros), with their number having been reduced from 45 to 17 via a series of mergers, targeted to improve economies of scale and raise profitability. In addition the government has had success in narrowing the fiscal deficit. Spain has a lower level of public debt than other eurozone economies with which it is often compared. Further, markets have taken encouragement from recent economic data which provide tentative signs that the economic recovery in Spain may be strengthening. Notwithstanding the positive steps taken to date, economic uncertainties remain.

Property market outlook

During the first quarter of 2011, there has been an increase in investor demand in European real estate investment focused on core markets. In terms of sector, retail and offices accounted for 46% and 32% of the investment transactions.

Strong investor demand at the core end of the market is prompting some investors to target more value-add opportunities. This shift along the risk spectrum is already more evident in the retail sector. A lack of capital investment and new developments over the last few years present attractive asset repositioning opportunities in the shopping centre segment. 

Investment review

H2O Rivas-Vaciamadrid, Madrid

The H2O shopping centre opened in June 2007 and was built to a high standard providing shopping, restaurants and leisure around a central theme of landscaped gardens and an artificial lake. H2O was designed as a new concept centre, combining different uses, with the objective of attracting and sustaining a wide range of consumers.

H2O has a gross lettable area of 51,825 square metres, comprising 118 units, including shops, a multiplex cinema and restaurants. It has a large fashion retailer base, including some of the strongest European fashion brands, including Zara, Mango, Cortefiel, H&M, C&A and Massimo Dutti, in addition to leading Spanish supermarket operator Mercadona opening soon.

The centre has a passing net rental income in excess of €6 million per annum. The weighted average lease length as at 31 March 2011 is 12.9 years to expiry and 2.3 years to next break. The centre is currently 94% occupied.

Asset management review

·; As announced during December 2010, the Spanish property holding SPV has signed a lease with Mercadona, one of Spain's leading supermarket operators. Opening of the store is expected during the third quarter 2011. The 3,111 square metre supermarket unit, which was vacant at the time of the Company's investment in H2O, has been let on a 30 year lease with a minimum 10 year term.

·; An active leasing programmeis underway and during the first year of ownership Alpha Tiger has had success in attracting new tenants including Polinesia, Imaginarium, Todoaromas, Kiko, Partyland, Centros Unico and Mary Paz. In addition, contracts have been signed with Soloptical and Calzedonia.

·; Active negotiations are underway to extend key tenants´ contracted lease periods. A notable success has been the extension of four of the key Inditex Group leases, including Massimo Dutti and Zara Homes.

·; The adjacent lake and landscaped area has been acquired during June 2011. This was an opportunity identified at the time of purchase and provides the H2O shopping centre with greater control of the overall retail environment. Additional value adding initiatives are being actively explored.

·; Licences for the construction of a new terrace and beach area along the lakeside of the centre have been approved by the local authorities.

·; Construction has commenced and the new areas are expected to be open during the summer 2011. The enlarged amenity offering and water play area is aimed at increasing customer footfall, time spent shopping and spend per head. New rental income will be earned from newly created retail kiosks.

·; Further phases of a planned capital expenditure programme are being reviewed including projects to improve the connectivity with the neighbouring retail park to create a larger ´retail village´ and broaden the customer appeal of the location.

·; New access and car parking configurations are being explored to improve vehicular and pedestrian circulation.

·; Tenant relationships have been strengthened and communication initiatives increased.

·; Extensive marketing has been undertaken including advertising and signage using street level, local transport, motorway and publication mediums.

·; An active cost management review has been undertaken and consequently a number of suppliers have been replaced and upgrades to certain mechanical and electrical and ambient services undertaken to improve quality and efficiency.

Asia - India

Economic outlook

India´s GDP increased by 9.1% in the year ending March 2011. Continued growth of 8.9% is forecast in 2011/12. India's strong growth fundamentals - high saving and investment rates, fast labour force growth and a rapidly expanding middle class - are likely to ensure a steady economic performance, with little volatility in growth rates in the short term.

After peaking at over 16% in January 2010, annualised wholesale price inflation is expected to average 5.9% in 2011, while annualised consumer price inflation is forecast to average 8.3% with both measures of inflation being forecast to moderate in 2012. In light of this stubbornly high inflation, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI, the central bank) increased the pace of interest rate rises, raising its main policy rate, the repurchase (repo) rate, by 50 basis points to 7.25% p.a. in May. This follows eight consecutive increases of 25 basis points each since March 2010.

Property market outlook

The Delhi National Capital Region continues to show signs of strong demand. Overall office space take-up during the first quarter of 2011 was 20% higher than the corresponding period in 2010, with demand focused on the central business districts. There are signs that demand is broadening beyond the traditional banking and Information Technology and IT Enabled Services sectors which is a sign of a more broad based recovery. This should assist the prospects for a sale of the Company's Galaxia investment (see below).

There is a lack of clarity on SEZ taxation policy following the Government of India´s budget proposals that developers of SEZs be brought within the ambit of Minimum Alternate Tax and Dividend Distribution Tax during 2011. Whilst this potentially largely unwinds the tax-free status for developers on SEZs, DTZ have indicated a potential upward pressure on rents in the SEZ segment as occupiers seek to secure favourable tax treatment. In the longer term, should the budget proposals be enacted, this is likely to increase competition between other developments and SEZs.

Investment review

Galaxia, National Capital Region, NOIDA

As previously announced, Alpha Tiger and its development partner Logix Group entered into a settlement agreement to jointly explore a sale of their interests in the Galaxia project, an 11.2 acre SEZ located in NOIDA, India. This agreement lapsed on 28 May 2011. It was further announced that, following breaches by Logix Group, the Company has recommenced arbitration proceedings in order to protect its Galaxia investment. The arbitration seeks an award of INR 450 million plus the agreed minimum investment return and a further loss of profits from the Logix Group promoters.

Notwithstanding the above, the Company is continuing to actively explore avenues for a sale of the development. Further updates will be provided in due course.

Summary

Whilst economic uncertainty remains, global economic growth has continued. In parallel with this improving macroeconomic position, the global real estate market continues to stabilise, however diverging growth rates are evident between many countries. Real estate activity continues to be primarily focused in prime market regions and sectors. There have however been signs that investor sentiment is becoming more open to value-add opportunities, partly in response to the level of competition for prime stock and the limited availability of such investment transactions. This marked disparity between real estate sectors and countries continues to create opportunities in Alpha Tiger's investment markets.

Corporate governance

Guernsey does not have its own corporate governance regime and, as a Guernsey registered company, the Company is not required to comply with the UK Corporate Governance Code, issued by the Financial Reporting Council. However it is the Company's policy to comply with best practice on good corporate governance including taking measures to ensure the Company complies with the UK Corporate Governance Code to the extent appropriate. The Board's arrangements in respect of corporate governance are explained in the paragraphs that follow:

Role of the Board

The Board has determined that its role is to consider and determine the following principal matters which it considers are of strategic importance to the Company:

1) Review the overall objectives for the Company and set the Company's strategy for fulfilling those objectives within an appropriate risk framework;

2) Consider any shifts in strategy that it considers may be appropriate in light of market conditions;

3) Review the capital structure of the Company including consideration of any appropriate use of gearing both for the Company and in any joint ventures in which the Company may invest from time to time;

4) Appoint the Investment Manager, Administrator and other appropriately skilled service providers and monitor their effectiveness through regular reports and meetings;

5) Review key elements of the Company's performance including Net Asset Value and payment of dividends.

Board Decisions

At board meetings, the Board ensures that all the strategic matters are considered and resolved by the Board. Certain issues associated with implementing the Company's strategy are delegated either to the Investment Manager or the Administrator. Such delegation is over minor incidental matters and the Board continually monitors the services provided by these independent agents. The Board considers there are implementation matters that are significant enough to be of strategic importance and should be reserved solely for the Board (e.g. all acquisitions, all disposals, significant capital expenditure, leasing and decisions affecting the Company's financial gearing).

Board Meetings

The Board meets at least quarterly and as required from time to time to consider specific issues reserved for decision by the Board including all potential acquisitions and investments.

At the Board's quarterly meetings it considers papers circulated in advance including reports provided by the Investment Manager and the Administrator. The Investment Manager's report comments on:

·; The property markets of India, UK and Europe including recommendations for any changes in strategy that the Investment Manager considers may be appropriate;

·; Performance of the Group's portfolio and key asset management initiatives;

·; Transactional activity undertaken over the previous quarter and being contemplated for the future;

·; The Group's financial position including relationships with bankers and lenders.

These reports enable the Board to assess the success with which the Group's property strategy and other associated matters are being implemented and also consider any relevant risks and to consider how they should be properly managed.

The Board also considers reports provided from time to time by its various service providers reviewing their internal controls.

In between its regular quarterly meetings, the Board has also met on a number of occasions during the year to approve all transactions and for other matters.

Committees of the Board

The Board has operated an Audit Committee, Remuneration Committee and a Nomination Committee throughout the year under review.

The Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is chaired by David Jeffreys and includes Roddy Sage and Serena Tremlett. The Audit Committee meets not less than twice a year and, if required, meetings can also be attended by the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Independent Auditors.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the half-year and annual Financial Statements before their submission to the Board. In addition, the Audit Committee is specifically charged under its terms of reference to advise the Board on the terms and scope of the appointment of the auditors (including remuneration), the independence and objectivity of the auditors, and reviewing with the auditors the results and effectiveness of the audit.

Members of the Audit Committee may also, from time to time, meet with the Company's valuer to discuss the scope and conclusions of their work.

The Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee, chaired by Serena Tremlett includes Jeff Chowdhry and David Jeffreys and is required to consider the terms and remuneration of the Company's directors and senior employees.

The Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee, chaired by Roddy Sage includes Phillip Rose and Serena Tremlett and is convened for the purpose of considering the appointment of additional Directors as and when considered appropriate.

 The table below shows the attendance at Board and other Committee meetings during the year to 31 March 2011:

Investment Management Agreement

The Company has an Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager. This sets out the Investment Manager's key responsibilities which include proposing a property investment strategy to the Board, identifying property investments to recommend for acquisition and arranging appropriate lending facilities to facilitate the transaction. The Investment Manager is also responsible to the Board for all issues relating to property asset management.

Shareholder relations

Shareholder communications are a high priority of the Board. Members of the Investment Manager's Investment Committee make themselves available at all reasonable times to meet with key shareholders and sector analysts. Feedback from these sessions is provided by the Investment Manager at the quarterly Board meetings.

In addition, the Board is also kept fully appraised of all market commentary on the Company by the Investment Manager and other professional advisors including its brokers.

Through this process the Board seeks to monitor investor relations and to ensure that the Company's communication programme is effective.

The Chairman and the Investment Manager will be available at the Annual General Meeting to answer any questions that shareholders attending may wish to raise.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Members of Alpha Tiger Property Trust Limited

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Alpha Tiger Property Trust Limited for the year ended 31 March 2011 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes 1 to 30. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Section 262 of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. Our audit work is undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of the directors and auditor

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement within the Directors' Report, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view.

Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's (APB's) Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Group's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non‑financial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Opinion on the financial statements

In our opinion the financial statements:

·; give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's affairs as at 31 March 2011 and of group's loss for the year then ended;

·; have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union; and

·; have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

·; proper accounting records have not been kept by the company; or

·; the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or

·; we have failed to obtain all the information and explanations, which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, are necessary for the purposes of our audit.

*Still to be endorsed by the EU

The Directors anticipate that, with the exception of IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IFRS 11, the adoption of these standards and interpretations in future years will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group.

In November 2009, the IASB issued the first part of IFRS 9 relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 will ultimately replace IAS 39. The standard requires an entity to classify its financial assets on the basis of the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset and subsequently measures the financial assets as either at amortised cost or fair value.

In October 2010, the IASB issued the second part of IFRS 9 incorporating new requirements on accounting for financial liabilities and carrying over from IAS 39 the requirements for de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard addressed the issue of volatility in the income statement whereby an entity would choose to measure its own debt at fair value. The standard requires an entity choosing to measure a liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity's own credit risk in the other comprehensive income section of the income statement, rather than within the profit and loss. The standard maintained the requirement to measure other liabilities at amortised cost. The new standard is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10 which establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. IFRS 10 replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC-12 Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The new standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 but earlier application is permitted.

In May 2011 the IASB issued IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements which provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form (as is currently the case). The standard addresses inconsistencies in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to account for interests in jointly controlled entities. The new standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

a) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the subsidiary undertakings controlled by the company, made up to 31 March each year. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities.

The results of subsidiary undertakings acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisitions or up to the effective date of disposal as appropriate.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiary undertakings to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

b) Joint ventures

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control (i.e. when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities of the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control).

When a Group entity undertakes its activities under joint venture arrangements directly, the Group's share of jointly controlled assets and any liabilities incurred jointly with other venturers are recognised in the financial statements of the relevant entity and classified according to their nature. Liabilities and expenses incurred directly in respect of interests in jointly controlled assets are accounted for on an accruals basis. Income from the sale or use of the Group's share of the output of jointly controlled assets, and its share of joint venture expenses, are recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to or from the Group and their amount can be measured reliably.

Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishments of a separate entity in which each venturer has an interest are referred to as jointly controlled entities. The Group reports its interests in jointly controlled entities using proportionate consolidation. The Group's share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of jointly controlled entities is combined with the equivalent items in the consolidated financial statements on a line-by-line basis.

When a Group entity transacts with a jointly controlled entity of the Group, unrealised profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the joint venture.

Presentation of statement of comprehensive income

In order to better reflect the activities of an investment company and in accordance with guidance issued by the Association of Investment Companies ("AIC"), supplementary information, which analyses the statement of comprehensive income between items of a revenue and capital nature, has been presented alongside the statement of comprehensive income.

Revenue recognition

Rental income from investment property leased out under an operating lease is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore also recognised on the same straight line basis. Rental revenues are accounted for on an accruals basis. Therefore, deferred revenue generally represents advance payments from tenants. Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Upon early termination of a lease by the lessee, the receipt of a surrender premium, net of dilapidations and non-recoverable outgoings relating to the lease concerned, is immediately recognised as revenue.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable.

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Foreign currencies

a) Functional and presentational currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group entities are measured in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentational currency.

b) Transactions and balances

Transactions in currencies other than Sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value and denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Gains and losses arising on retranslation are included in net profit or loss for the year, except for exchange differences arising on non-monetary assets and liabilities where the changes in fair value are recognised directly in equity.

c) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency which differs from the presentational currency are translated into the presentational currency as follows:

(i) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet;

(ii) income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing in the period; and;

(iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, the exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are taken to equity. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

For Euro based balances the year end exchange rate used is £1:€1.137 (March 2010: £1:€1.1204) and the average rate for the year used is £1: €1.18.The year-end exchange rate used for Inidian rupee (INR) balances is £1:INR 72.79 (March 2010: £1:INR 67.87) and the average rate for the period used is £1:INR 71.41 (March 2010: £1:INR 75.49).

Operating loss

The Group's operating loss includes net gains or losses on revaluation of investment properties, as reduced by administrative expenses and property operating costs and excludes finance costs and income.

Expenses

All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis and include fees and other expenses paid to the Administrators, the Investment Manager and the Directors. In respect of the analysis between revenue and capital items, presented within the statement of comprehensive income, all expenses have been presented as revenue items except expenses which are incidental to the acquisition of an investment property which are included within the cost of that investment property.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of property are added to the costs of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. The capitalisation rate is arrived at by reference to the actual rate payable on borrowing acquired for a targeted property, or with regard to an acquisition financed out of general borrowings to the average rate. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.

Taxation

The Company is exempt from Guernsey taxation on income derived outside of Guernsey and bank interest earned in Guernsey. A fixed annual fee of £600 is payable to the State of Guernsey in respect of this exemption. No charge to Guernsey taxation arises on capital gains. The Group is liable to foreign tax arising on activities in the overseas subsidiaries. The Group has subsidiary operations in Cyprus and India. The Group also holds a joint venture investment in Spain, owned through investments in Luxembourg and the Netherlands; the Group is liable to taxation in these jurisdictions.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible timing differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the statement of comprehensive income, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt within equity.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which they become obligations of the Group.

Investment property

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost being the fair value of consideration given including related transaction costs. After initial recognition at cost, investment properties are carried at their fair values based on half yearly professional valuations made by CBRE Valuation Advisory S.L. The valuations are in accordance with standards complying with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Approval and Valuation manual and the International Valuation Standards Committee.

Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of investment property are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Properties are treated as acquired when the Group assumes the significant risks and returns of ownership and as disposed of when these are transferred to the buyer.

All costs directly associated with the purchase and construction of a property, and all subsequent expenditures qualifying as acquisition costs are capitalised.

Segmental reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, which is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of the Company.

Theinvesting policy means the Group may invest in real estate opportunities unconstrained by geography, but with a particular focus on the UK, Europe and Asia. At present, for management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating segment being Europe. The financial results for this segment are shown in note 15.

All of the Group's revenue is from entities that are incorporated in Europe.

With the exception of the Galaxia investment (note 17), all of the Group's non-current assets are located in Europe.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Group's balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group shall offset financial assets and financial liabilities if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and interests and intends to settle on a net basis.

a) Financial assets

The Group's financial assets fall into the categories discussed below, with the allocation depending to an extent on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. Although the Group uses derivative financial instruments in economic hedges of currency and interest rate risk, it does not hedge account for these transactions. The Group has not classified any of its financial assets as held to maturity or as available for sale.

Unless otherwise indicated, the carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets are a reasonable approximation of their fair values.

(a) (i) Investments held at fair value through profit or loss

Investments are classified as "fair value through profit or loss" and are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given.

Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception are those that are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Group's investment strategy. The Group's policy is for the Investment Manager and the Board of Directors to evaluate the information about these financial assets on a fair value basis together with other related financial information.

Recognition

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the transaction date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the investment.

Measurement

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value with transaction costs being expensed in the income statement. Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the income statement in the period in which they arise.

(a) (ii) Loans and receivables

These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through rental leases with tenants (e.g. trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents), but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary assets. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment.

The effect of discounting on these financial instruments is not considered to be material.

Impairment provisions are recognised when there is objective evidence (such as significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty or default or significant delay in payment) that the Group will be unable to collect all of the amounts due under the terms of the receivable, the amount of such a provision being the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable. For trade receivables, such impairments directly reduce the carrying amount of the impaired asset and are recognised against the relevant income category in the statement of comprehensive income.

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and consist of cash in hand and short term deposits in banks with an original maturity of three months or less.

(a) (iii) Derivatives at fair value through profit or loss

This category comprises only 'in the money' financial derivatives. They are carried in the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Other than these derivative financial instruments, the Group does not have any assets held for trading nor has it designated any other financial assets as being at fair value through profit or loss.

The fair value of the Group's derivatives is based on valuations as described in note 19.

(a) (iv) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (in whole or in part) is derecognised either:

·; when the group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership; or

·; when it has transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards and when it no longer has control over the asset or a portion of the asset; or

·; when the contractual right to receive cash flow has expired.

(b) Financial liabilities

The Group classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories, depending on the purpose for which the liability was issued and its characteristics. Although the Group uses derivative financial instruments in economic hedges of currency and interest rate risk, it does not hedge account for these transactions.

Unless otherwise indicated, the carrying amounts of the Group's financial liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair values.

(b) (i) Derivatives at fair value through profit or loss

This category comprises only 'out-of-the-money' financial derivatives. They are carried in the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Other than derivative financial instruments, the Group does not have any liabilities held for trading nor has it designated any other financial liabilities as being at fair value through profit or loss.

The fair value of the Group's derivatives is based on the valuations as described in note 19.

(b) (ii) Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

Other financial liabilities include the following items:

·; Trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, which are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

·; Bank borrowings are initially recognised at fair value net of attributable transaction costs incurred. Such interest bearing liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(b) (iii) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability (in whole or in part) is derecognised when the Company or Group has extinguished its contractual obligations, it expires or is cancelled. Any gain or loss on derecognition is taken to the statement of comprehensive income.

(c) Fair value measurement hierarchy

IFRS 7 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

·; Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).

·; Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).

·; Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the financial asset or financial liability is categorised is determined on the basis of the lowest input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety into one of the three levels.

(d) Share capital

Financial instruments issued by the Group are treated as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability. The Company's ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments. For the purposes of the disclosures given in note 21 the Group considers all its share capital, share premium and all other reserves as equity. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

(e) Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

A summary of the principal accounting policies are set out below, all of which have been applied consistently for all periods presented unless otherwise stated.

2. (b) Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Investment property

The gross property value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction without deduction for any associated transfer taxes, sales taxes, or other costs normally borne by the seller. Transaction costs normally borne by the seller are not deducted in arriving at gross property value, in accordance with IAS 40. The fair value is calculated by deducting the costs normally borne by the purchaser from the gross property value. Fair value is not intended to represent the liquidation value of the property, which would be dependent upon the price negotiated at the time of sale less any associated selling costs. The fair value is largely based on estimates using property appraisal techniques and other valuation methods as outlined below. Such estimates are inherently subjective and actual values can only be determined in a sales transaction.

The Group's valuers derive the fair value by applying the methodology and valuation guidelines as set out by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in the United Kingdom in accordance with IAS 40. This approach is based on discounting the future net income receivable from the property to arrive at the net present value of that future income stream. Future net income comprises the rent secured under existing leases, less any known or expected non-recoverable costs and the current market rent attributable to vacant units. The consideration basis for this calculation excludes the effects of any taxes. The discount factors used to calculate fair value are consistent with those used to value similar properties, with comparable leases in each of the respective markets.

The fair value of the investment property as at 31 March 2011 was £18.6 million (2010: £18.6 million). Refer to note 16 for further details.

(b) Estimate of fair value of indirect property investment - Galaxia

The property interest in Galaxia is classified as an indirect property investment held at fair value through profit and loss and has been included within the financial statements based on the expected realisable value to the Group. The Group's estimation of fair value is based upon legal advice following a recommencement of arbitration proceedings following breaches by Logix Group. The arbitration seeks INR450m plus the agreed minimum investment return and lost profit against the Logix Group promoters. The Directors consider it prudent to continue to value the indirect investment at INR450m.

(c) Fair value of derivative contracts

(c) (i) Interest rate cap

The Group estimates fair value of the interest rate cap based on valuation techniques employed by the contractual counter parties. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rates and future cash flows. The fair value of the interest rate cap as at 31 March 2011 was £587,000 as shown in note 20.

(c) (ii) Fair value of the conversion option (CULS)

The fair value of the conversion option and other share options received is estimated by using the binomial option pricing model on the date of grant based on certain assumptions. Those assumptions include among others, the expected volatility and expected life of the options. Further details are given in note 20.

(c) (iii) Fair value of foreign currency forward

The Group estimates fair value of the forward currency contract by reference to the difference between the contracted rate as per the contract with the contractual counter party and the relevant forward exchange rate at the balance sheet date.

(c) (iv) Fair value of foreign currency options

The Group estimates fair value of the foreign currency options based on valuation techniques employed by the contractual counter parties.

(d) Income and deferred taxation

The Group is subject to income and capital gains taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the total provision for income and deferred taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination and timing of payment is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded such differences will impact the income and deferred tax provisions in the period in which the determination is made.

3. Revenue

The Group's H2O Shopping Centre, acquired on 31 March 2010 via a joint venture, is leased on standard institutional Spanish retail operating leases with a minimum guaranteed monthly rent and the possibility for the landlord to capture additional income if the tenants' turnover exceeds certain pre-set levels on most leases. The leases are typically for a minimum guaranteed term of 5 years from the opening of the centre in mid-2007 with 5 year renewal options thereafter, e.g. 5+5+5, and generally a 10 to 15 year term.

At the balance sheet date the Group, via its 26% effective interest in the joint venture entity had contracted with tenants at the H2O Centre for the following future minimum lease payments:

4. Finance income

5. Finance costs

6. Net gains or losses on loans and receivables

7. Net gains and losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

8. Total interest income and total interest expense on financial assets and financial liabilities not at fair value through the profit and loss

9. Other administration costs

The Group has no employees. No amounts were paid to BDO Limited by the Group in respect of non-audit services.

10. Taxation

(a) Parent Company

The Parent Company is exempt from Guernsey taxation on income derived outside of Guernsey and bank interest earned in Guernsey. A fixed annual fee of £600 is payable to the States of Guernsey in respect of this exemption. No charge to Guernsey taxation arises on capital gains. The Group is liable to foreign tax arising on activities in the overseas subsidiaries. The Company has subsidiary and joint venture operations in Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Cyprus and India.

(b) Group

The Group's tax expense for the year comprises:

The charge for the year can be reconciled to the profit/(loss) per the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as follows:

Tax at domestic rates applicable to profits in the country concerned are as follows:

(c) Deferred taxation

The following is the deferred tax liability recognised by the Group and movements thereon:

Certain deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset. The following is the analysis of the deferred tax balances (after offset) for financial reporting purposes available for offset against future profits.

At the balance sheet date the group had unused tax losses of £443,000 (2010: £9,000) in Cyprus. Due to the unpredictability of future taxable profits, the Directors believe it is not prudent to recognise a deferred tax asset for the unused tax losses. The Cypriot unused tax losses can be carried forward indefinitely.

At the balance sheet date the group had unused tax losses of £28,000 (2010: £nil) in Spain. Due to the unpredictability of future taxable profits, the Directors believe it is not prudent to recognise a deferred tax asset for the unused tax losses. The Spanish unused tax losses can be carried forward for 15 years.

At the balance sheet date the group had unused tax losses of £10,000 (2010: £nil) in Luxembourg. Due to the unpredictability of future taxable profits, the Directors believe it is not prudent to recognise a deferred tax asset for the unused tax losses. The Luxembourg unused tax losses can be carried forward indefinitely.

At the balance sheet date the group had unused tax losses of £20,000 (2010: £nil) in the Netherlands. Due to the unpredictability of future taxable profits, the Directors believe it is not prudent to recognise a deferred tax asset for the unused tax losses. The Netherlands unused tax losses can be carried forward for 9 years.

11. Dividends

No dividend has been paid or proposed for the year ended 31 March 2011 (2010: £nil).

12. Earnings per share

The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the following data:

The adjusted earnings are presented to provide what the Company believes is a more appropriate assessment of the operational income accruing to the Group's activities. Hence, the Company adjusts basic earnings for income and costs which are not of a recurrent nature or which may be more of a capital nature.

The 3,750,000 warrants issued to the Investment Manager (note 26) could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. The average share price over the year is lower than the exercise price of the warrants and therefore these are not currently considered dilutive.

The Company has bought back further shares subsequent to the year end (see note 27).

13. Net asset value per share

14. Investment in subsidiary undertakings

A list of the significant investments in subsidiaries as at 31 March 2011, including the name, country of incorporation and the proportion of ownership interest is given below.

15. Investment in joint ventures

The joint venture in LuxCo 111 SARL group, the holding structure for the H2O investment interest, has been proportionally consolidated. The following amounts have been recognised in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated comprehensive statement of income in respect of this joint venture:

Within the Spanish SPV that owns the H20 investment property there is a bank account in which an amount of £4.4 million (€5 million) (2010: £4.5 million) has been ring-fenced for future capital expenditure on the shopping centre. The Group's share of this account of £1.1 million (2010: £1.2 million) is included in current assets above.

The joint venture co-investor in the LuxCo 111 SARL group is Alpha Global Property Securities PTE Limited ('Alpha Global'), which is a 100% subsidiary of ARC, the Investment Manager. The Company owns 51% of share capital of LuxCo 111 SARL which in turn owns 51% of the share capital of KMS Holdings BV (the remaining 49% is owned by Alpha Global). KMS Holdings BV owns 100% of the share capital of Alpha Tiger Spain 1 SL which is the owner of the H2O shopping centre. This shareholding structure is referred to as the LuxCo 111 SARL group above and the Company holds a 26% effective interest in this group.

The Company also entered into an option agreement dated 31 March 2010 and subsequently extended on 21 December 2010, giving the Company the right to acquire Alpha Global's investment for a pre-determined price (or fair value, if higher) before 21 July 2011. 

16. Investment property

The investment property as at 31 March 2011 is the Group's proportionate share of the investment property (H2O) held via the LuxCo 111 SARL group.

The fair value at 31 March 2011 has been arrived at on the basis of valuations carried out at that date by CBRE Valuation Advisory S.L., independent valuers not connected to the Group. The valuation basis has been market value as defined by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors ("RICS") Approval and Valuation Standards.

The approved RICS definition of market value is the "estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arms length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion."

The property has been pledged as security for the borrowings in note 23.

17. Indirect property investment held at fair value

As announced on 28 May 2010, the Company signed a Settlement Agreement with Logix Group in relation to its Technova and Galaxia indirect property investments. Under the terms of this agreement the Company has sold its shareholding in the Technova project to Logix Group for INR 250 million (£3.7 million); the Company has received this consideration and no longer holds an interest in the project and as such is released from any future commitments to the project. The remaining interest, the Galaxia project, is carried at INR 450 million (£6.2 million). The Group's estimation of fair value is based upon legal advice following a recommencement of arbitration proceedings following breaches by Logix Group. The arbitration seeks INR 450 million plus the agreed minimum investment return and a further loss of profit from the Logix Group promoters. The Directors consider it prudent to continue to value of the indirect investment at INR 450 million.

18. Investment held at fair value

The Group invested in income units of the Freehold Income Trust ("FIT"), a fund offering monthly redemptions, during the year. The Group considers that the asset will be held for the shorter term and has therefore disclosed the investment as a current asset. FIT provides monthly valuations of the net asset value of its units. The investment has therefore been valued at the net asset value provided on 21 March 2011, this being the closest valuation to the Group's balance sheet date.

19. Categories of financial assets and liabilities

20. Derivatives held at fair value through the profit and loss

On the 9 August 2010, the Company subscribed for £4.75 million of convertible unsecured loan stock ("CULS") in Close High Income Properties plc ("CHIP"). The CULS carry an annual coupon of 4.75% and can be converted at any time up to and including 30 June 2013 into Ordinary Shares at a Conversion Price of 31 pence. The CULS annual coupon can either be paid in cash at the relevant interest payment dates or can be made as a Payment In Kind ("PIK") by the issuance of further CULS at each relevant date. The CULS attract an 18% redemption premium if not converted. CHIP has subsequently changed its name to Alpha UK Multi Property Trust plc ("AUMP"). Additionally, AUMP has issued 4 million share options to the Company at an exercise price of 50 pence per share.

The fair value of the conversion option within the CULS instrument and the additional options have been valued by reference to an external valuation by J.C. Rathbone (using a binomial model).

On 27 May 2010, Alpha Tiger Spain No 1 S.L (formally Orangeburg S.L), the entity that owns the H20 shopping centre, entered into interest rate cap arrangements with Eurohypo AG and Landesbank Hessen-Thuringen Girozentrale (Helaba) to provide an interest rate hedge on €50 million of the company's outstanding debt. The cap provides protection against three month Euribor rising above 2.85% through the full course of the loan (expiring 4 October 2017). A premium of €2.2 million was paid on the day of the transaction. The fair value of the cap is accounted by reference to valuations received from the counterparty banks. The Company proportionately consolidates 26% of the results of Alpha Tiger Spain No 1 S.L.

Alpha Tiger has purchased two fixed rate currency options to hedge €7 million of long term mezzanine loan Euro exposure. The fair value of the options is valued by reference to a year end statement of value provided by J P Morgan.

Alpha Tiger has purchased a foreign currency forward to hedge €12.7 million of short term VAT loan Euro exposure. The fair value of the contract is estimated by reference to a calculation provided by the contractual counter party, Royal Bank of Scotland International.

21. Trade and other receivables

The amounts receivable from joint venture represent an acquisition VAT loan facility of £11.2 million (31 March 2010: £11.3 million (€12.7 million)) and a Mezzanine loan of £12.3 million (31 March 2010: £12.5 million (€14 million)) advanced by the Company; the Group receivable is shown after the proportionate consolidation of the joint venture group. The VAT loan is repayable on the refund of VAT from the Spanish Tax Authorities following the property acquisition on 31 March 2010 and is expected to be repaid within the next 12 months. The VAT loan accrues an interest of 2% over the three month Euribor; there is a charge over the VAT bank account into which the acquisition VAT will be refunded. The Mezzanine loan is repayable on 4 October 2017 (or earlier if the centre or shareholdings in the Spanish SPV are sold) and accrues a fixed interest of 8% and in addition a variable interest of 10% of an adjusted EBITDA of the Spanish SPV. The Mezzanine loan is subordinated to the senior bank debt which is secured against the Spanish property.

22. Trade and other payables

Trade creditors and accruals primarily comprise amounts outstanding for trade purchases and ongoing costs. The Group has financial management policies in place to ensure that all payables are paid within the credit time frame.

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other payables approximates to their fair value.

23. Bank borrowings

Movements in the Group's non-current bank borrowings are analysed as follows:

The bank borrowings represent the Group's proportional interest in the syndicated loan finance provided to the property owning the Spanish SPV in the LuxCo 111 SARL group. The loan is provided by a syndicate of three banks (Eurohypo AG, Deutsche Hypothekenbank and Landesbank Hessen-Thuringen Girozentrale). The loan has two tranches of debt of which one tranche has an agreed schedule of amortisation as reflected in the repayment table above; the balance of the loans after amortisation is repayable on 4 October 2017. The loans are secured by a first charge mortgage against the Spanish property.

The Spanish property owning SPV has entered into an interest rate cap under which the floating rate element of the interest charge is capped at 2.85% for the full term of the loan on €50 million of the principal borrowings of €75 million.

24. Share capital

On 9 April 2010 the Company announced a buyback programme within the remit of the Company's share buyback authority. Subsequently, during May and June 2010, 550,000 ordinary shares of no par value ("Ordinary Shares") were bought back at an average price of 65.0 pence per share. Treasury shares totalling 61,111 were cancelled following the purchase to ensure that the Company holds no more than 10% of its share capital in treasury pursuant to Guernsey law requirements.

Further, as previously announced, following the Extraordinary General Meeting on 17 March 2011, the Company's shareholders approved a general authority allowing the Company to buy back up to 24.99% of its shares. 

During March 2011 the Company purchased 900,000 Ordinary Shares at 58.0 pence per share and 100,000 Treasury shares were cancelled following the purchase.

The Company has one class of ordinary share which carries no right to fixed income.

The Company has the right to reissue or cancel the remaining treasury shares at a later date.

Subsequent to the balance sheet date the Company announced a further buyback programme as detailed in note 27.

25. Reserves

The movements in the reserves for the Group are shown above.

Special reserve

The special reserve is a distributable reserve to be used for all purposes permitted under Guernsey company law, including the buy-back of shares and payment of dividends.

Warrant reserve

The warrant reserve contains the fair value of share-based payments in respect of the warrants issued to the Investment Manager but not exercised.

Translation reserve

The translation reserve contains exchange differences arising on consolidation of the Group's overseas operations.

Capital reserve

The capital reserve contains increases and decreases in the fair value of the Group's invesmentt properties, gains and losses on the disposal of properties, gains and losses arising from indirect property investment at fair value together with expenses allocated to capital.

Revenue reserve

Any surplus arising from net profit after tax is taken to this reserve, which may be utilised for the buy-back of shares and payment of dividends.

26. Share based payments

a) Warrants

The Parent Company has issued warrants in a prior period to the Investment Manager pursuant to which it has been granted the right to subscribe for 3,750,000 ordinary shares in the Company at an exercise price of £1 per share. Such warrants can be exercised at any time up to and including 21 December 2011. The warrant instrument provides that the holder of the warrant may from time to time transfer all or some of its warrants to third parties. At 31 March 2011 no warrants had been exercised leaving 3,750,000 warrants outstanding and available for exercise.

The weighted average exercise price of outstanding warrants at 31 March 2011 was £1.00 (2010: £1), with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.75 years (2010: 1.75 years).

b) Share based payments

The Group has not recognised any share based payment for the year ended 31 March 2011 (2010:£nil).

27. Events after the balance sheet date

Subsequent to the year end, the Group has made the following share buy backs:

As announced, during April and May 2011, in a series of transactions, the Company purchased 775,000 ordinary shares of no par value ("Ordinary Shares") at an average price (before expenses) of 64.3 pence per share. The purchased Ordinary Shares have been cancelled together with 86,111 shares currently held in treasury which were also cancelled following the purchase to ensure that the Company holds no more than 10% of its share capital in treasury pursuant to Guernsey law requirements.

28. Related party transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions. ARC is the Investment Manager to the Company under the terms of the Investment Manager Agreement and is thus considered a related party of the Company.

The Investment Manager is entitled to receive a fee from the Company at an annual rate of 2 per cent of the net assets of the Company, payable quarterly in arrears. The Investment Manager is also entitled to receive an annual performance fee calculated with reference to total shareholder return ("TSR"), whereby the fee is 20 per cent of any excess over an annualised TSR of 15 per cent subject to a rolling 3 year high water mark.

ARC, via its 100% subsidiary Alpha Global, has co-invested in the H2O joint venture and the Shareholder Agreements and the Call Option arrangements are detailed in note 15.

The Investment Manager has a management agreement directly with the new H2O property company, Alpha Tiger Spain 1 SLU under which it earns a fee of 0.9% per annum based upon the gross assets of Alpha Tiger Spain 1 SLU. In order to avoid double counting of fees, the Investment Manager will provide a rebate to the Company of a proportion of its current fee equivalent to the value of the Company's net asset value attributable to the H2O investment.

Additionally, during the year, the Company invested in two further investments ultimately giving rise to related party transactions. Firstly, the Company invested in CULS in Close High Income Properties plc ("CHIP"). CHIP was managed by Close Investments Limited, a division of Close Brothers bank but, as part of the transaction, Phillip Rose was appointed to the board and ARC was appointed fund manager. Additionally, the fund renamed itself Alpha UK Multi Property Trust plc ("AUMP"). Secondly, the Company invested in the Freehold Income Trust ("FIT"). FIT was managed at the time by Close Asset Management Ltd and Close Investments Ltd, both divisions of Close Brothers bank. Subsequent to the transaction, Close Brothers sold their property fund management businesses to Alpha Real Property Investment Advisors LLP ("ARPIA") a subsidiary of ARC. ARC and ARPIA have agreed rebates of their fees in relation to these investments to avoid double charging the Company.

Details of the Investment Manager's fees for the current period are disclosed on the face of the statement of comprehensive income and the balance payable at 31 March 2011 is provided in note 22.

The Investment Manager has also been issued warrants over the Company's ordinary share capital, further details of which are provided in note 26.

On 23 December 2010, ARC acquired 22,175,000 shares in the Company from Rockmount Ventures Limited and Phillip Rose. At 31 March 2011, ARC owns 22,175,000 shares.

The following, being partners of the Investment Manager, have interests in the following shares of the Company at 31 March 2011:

* IPGL Property Funds Limited's interest includes 3,000,000 (2010: 3,000,000) owned by a fellow group company, IPGL.

** Phillip Rose transferred 100,000 of his shares to Alpha Real Capital LLP

Details of the Directors fees and share interests in the Company are included in the Directors Report.

Serena Tremlett is also the Managing Director and a major shareholder of Morgan Sharpe Administration Limited, the Company's administrator and secretary. During the year the Company paid Morgan Sharpe Administration Limited fees of £48,000 (2010: £nil).

29. Financial instruments risk exposure and management

In common with similar businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

There have been no substantive changes in the Group's exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.

Principal financial instruments

The principal financial instruments used by the Group from which financial instrument risk arises, are as follows:

·; Investments held at fair value

·; Trade and other receivables

·; Cash and cash equivalents

·; Trade and other payables

·; Bank borrowings

·; Derivative financial instruments

General objectives, policies and processes

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group's finance function.

The overall objective of the Board is to set polices that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.

Project monitoring

Projects are monitored through regular Project Control Meetings held with development partners to discuss progress and monitor risks. The Investment Manager attends these meetings and reports to the Board on a quarterly basis.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at the balance sheet date.

The Group policy is to maintain its cash and cash equivalent balances with a number of financial institutions as a means of diversifying credit risk. The Group monitors the placement of cash balances on an ongoing basis and has policies to limit the amount of credit exposure to any financial institution.

With regard to its other investments, the Group receives regular updates from the relevant Investment Manager as to the performance of the underlying investments and assesses its credit risk as a result.

The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk by class of financial instrument is shown below:

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The Group has procedures with the object of minimising these risks such as maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions on a short term basis reflecting the Group's desire to maintain a high level of liquidity in order to enable timely completion of investment transactions.

The following table illustrates the contractual maturity analysis of the Group's financial liabilities.

Market risk

a) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates in India and Spain and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures with respect to Indian Rupees and Euros. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised monetary assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.

The following tables summarise the Group's exposure to foreign currency risk at 31 March 2011 and 31 March 2010. The Group's assets and liabilities at carrying amounts are included in the table, categorised by the currency at their carrying amount.

The Group does not currently hedge its Indian foreign currency exposure and only partially hedges its Euro currency exposure. The Board monitors the Group's exposure to foreign currencies on a quarterly basis as part of its Risk Management review.

A strengthening of the Rupee by 5 Rupees would increase the net assets by £456,000 (2010:£ 823,000). A weakening of the Rupee by 5 Rupees would decrease net assets by £397,000 (2010:£ 710,000). A strengthening of the Euro by 5 cents would increase the net assets by £271,000 (2010:£238,000). A weakening of the Euro by 5 cents would decrease net assets by £248,000 (2010:£ 218,000).

Further details concerning the currency derivative can be found in note 20.

b) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group's interest rate risk arises from the following financial assets and liabilities.
