The Investment Adviser and Manager continues to progress the published strategy to deliver shareholder value, namely:

· To enhance net rental income.

· To reduce borrowings through surplus rental income and to reduce the loan to value through limited strategic sales.

· To deploy capital when 'value add' opportunities are identified.

Occupancy across the portfolio has increased with 86.7% of the portfolio let as at 31 March 2014 based on the ERV, compared with 84.6% as at 31 December 2013.
