# 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.
