Duet Real Estate Finance Limited

("DREF" or the "Company")

Investment Update

The board of the Company is pleased to announce that the remaining portion of the Master Fund's Dutch Office loan (Loan 10) has been sold, earning returns in-line with its investment criteria. The Company's share of the proceeds realised by the Master Fund from this loan totals £0.68 million, equivalent to 0.95 pence per share.

Except for the UK Healthcare loan (Loan 5) which remains fully written down, there is now one investment, the Belgian offices loan (Loan 11), to be realised by the Master Fund before it is wound up and the Company fully realises its investment in the Master Fund. It is anticipated that this will happen early in the New Year and the board will make an announcement shortly thereafter as to how the Company will return its cash to shareholders in the most efficient and cost effective manner.
