Covid-19 update

The Board and the Manager are taking every precaution to safeguard the health and wellbeing of staff, occupiers and stakeholders. We are continually monitoring our assets in light of the outbreak of Covid-19 and our primary focus through this exceptionally challenging period is to ensure that the portfolio is well positioned to begin its recovery once the Covid "lockdown" restrictions are lifted and our tenants can being to generate income again. We are focused on preserving the long-term value and financial strength of the Company.

However, Covid-19 has had and will continue to have a material impact upon the trading performance of the Company. The NAV has reduced 7% in the quarter, largely due to the investment property valuation reducing by 4% across the retail and shopping centre assets. This is a direct consequence of Covid-19. In common with all valuations being carried out at this time, the valuation report is subject to a material uncertainty clause and further valuation and NAV reductions are likely as rent collections will continue to remain under pressure until trading conditions for tenants begin to improve.

The rent collection statistics for the March 2020 quarter, which encompasses the Scottish quarter starting 28 February 2020 (pre Covid "lockdown") and the English Quarter starting 25 Match 2020, are as follows:

· Scotland 91%

· England 58%

· Overall 68%

A clearer picture of the impact of Covid-19 will emerge as we monitor rent collections for the 28 May Scottish quarter and the 25 June English quarter in the coming weeks.

The Board has established a weekly reporting protocol with the Manager and Administrator to ensure all necessary actions are in place to secure rental receipts, reduce operating costs where possible, monitor and manage cashflow and meet liabilities as they fall due. As at 31 March 2020, the Company had cash balances of £0.54 million and borrowings of £22.76 million. The Company has a £25M facility in place with no need to refinance until 30 September 2022.

Dividends

In the light of the exceptional circumstances affecting global economies and markets and particularly given the current uncertainty that the impact of Covid-19 will have on future rental receipts, the Board has taken the decision to preserve cash and suspend interim dividends for the next 2 quarters. The position will be reviewed again for the September 2020 quarter, which is also the Company's year-end
