    The loan-to-value ratio is calculated by dividing total interest-bearing borrowings, adjusted for cash and cash equivalents and derivative collateral, by the
    total of investments in property, listed securities at fair value, investment in associate at fair value, derivative financial instruments, and loans advanced.


OUTLOOK
The properties in Portugal, Spain, and Slovenia are performing well and are well positioned for future growth. The French portfolio
is undergoing considerable redevelopment, refurbishment, and reletting. This will place the company in a strong position and will
facilitate the letting of vacant space which was not included in the initial acquisition price.
