Close High Income Properties PLC09 April 2008 This announcement replaces the announcement made on 09/04/2008 at 16:57 RNS No 0177S Close High Income Properties Plc PRELIMINARY RESULTS For the year ended 31 December 2007 HIGHLIGHTS The consolidated loss after taxation of the Group for the year ended 31 December2007 amounted to £16,326,104 (31 December 2006: profit of £17,850,233). The merger of the Ordinary Shares with the "C" Ordinary Shares completed in June2007. The total dividend paid in the year to Ordinary Shareholders was 28.205pence per share while 3.625 pence per share was paid to "C" OrdinaryShareholders prior to their conversion into Ordinary Shares. The total dividend paid in the year to "D" Ordinary shareholders was 6.5p. The Ordinary Share net asset value fell from 142.97 pence per share to 101.16pence per share, a decrease of 9.51% taking into account the distributions thatwere paid out for the year. The "D" Ordinary Share net asset value fell from98.83 pence per share to 72.52 pence per share, a decrease of 20.05% taking intoaccount the distributions that were paid out for the year. Given the current market conditions, it is prudent for the Company to reduce thefuture target dividend level for both Share classes. We now intend, in theabsence of unforeseen circumstances, that the Company will pay gross annualdividends totalling 6.5p per Ordinary Share and 5p per "D" Ordinary Share. Itis likely that future dividends will be paid out of distributable capitalreserves rather than revenue reserves as has been the case in the past. The Board will keep the Company's dividend policy under review and will increasethe level of dividends if market conditions improve. CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT Introduction I am pleased to present the audited result of Close High Income Properties PLC("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") for the year ended31 December 2007. The merger of the Ordinary Shares with the "C" Ordinary Shares completed in June2007. In the second half of the year the Company experienced a much more difficultmarket in which to operate following the onset of the global credit crunch. As aresult the UK commercial property market has undergone its fastest and mostsevere correction for 15 years. The Company experienced this downturn in itsDecember 2007 valuation when the gross asset value of the Ordinary and "D"Ordinary Share property portfolios fell in the last quarter by 10% and 8%respectively. In the first quarter of 2008 market values across both portfolioshave fallen by a further 5%. At present the Board believe that values may fall further before the bottom ofthe market is established. At that time performance will be driven by activemanagement techniques to maintain low voids and create rental growth. The Boardbelieves the Company has established a good active management track record andit is confident that this will continue. The Property Investment Adviser hasprovided further information on this in its report. Merger of Ordinary Shares and "C" Ordinary Shares The merger of the Ordinary Shares and "C" Ordinary Shares was successfullycompleted on 11 June 2007 following approval by shareholders at theExtraordinary General Meeting held on 6 June 2007. At this meeting shareholdersalso approved changes to the Articles of Association to enable the Directors toinitiate the early conversion of the "D" Ordinary Shares to Ordinary Shares ifthe Directors deem appropriate at a future date. In accordance with the terms ofthe conversion, "C" Ordinary shareholders were issued 0.9 Ordinary Shares and 1Deferred Share for each "C" Ordinary Share held at the Conversion Record Date.The Deferred Shares have a nominal value of 0.1p per share but give noentitlement to any profit of the Company, and therefore in practice have novalue. A special resolution will be proposed for the approval of shareholdersto allow the Company to buy back the Deferred Shares for a nominalconsideration. Pre-merger Ordinary shareholders received a special dividend of 20.08 pence on22 June 2007 for each Ordinary Share they held on the register at 8 June 2007 inorder to align more closely the net asset value per share of the Ordinary Shareswith that of the "C" Ordinary Shares. As stated in the unaudited results to 30 June 2007, the Board is satisfied thatthe merger of the Ordinary and "C" Ordinary Shares has increased flexibility inthe management of the combined portfolios and provided a greater diversificationof underlying properties for shareholders. However the hope that creating onelarger class of shares would improve liquidity and potentially narrow the bid/offer price spread quoted by market markers has not been realised. Investment Progress In accordance with the policy detailed in the unaudited results for the sixmonth ended 30 June 2007, the Board identified and disposed of a number ofmature assets where it was judged that the potential for the implementation ofactive management initiative was limited. The Group completed the sale of fourestates and one unit within an estate during the year. The sale of two estatesand a further unit within an estate were completed after the end of the year.One estate was purchased in January 2007. All sales and the acquisition wereassociated with the newly constituted Ordinary Share Portfolio. No assets from "D" Ordinary Share portfolio were sold during the year. The Board continues to review the Company's strategy, which is likely to includefurther selected disposals of properties. However, given the illiquid state ofthe UK commercial property market further sales at satisfactory valuation maybedifficult to achieve. The Board remains focused on the active management ofGroup's assets and is pleased with the progress achieved during the year. Theoverall void rate has fallen in the Group's assets as a result of increasedlettings and a high rate of tenant retention. The Group also achieved positiverental growth on many of its assets. CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (continued) Results and Dividends The consolidated loss after taxation of the Group for the year ended 31 December2007 amounted to £16,326,104 (31 December 2006: profit of £17,850,233). In January and April 2007, the Company paid quarterly dividends, on anannualised basis, of 7.75 pence per Ordinary Share, 7.25 pence per "C" OrdinaryShare and 6.5 pence per "D" Ordinary Share. Following the merger of the OrdinaryShares and "C" Ordinary Shares, the annual dividend target per Ordinary Sharewas increased to 8.5 pence per share. This represented a 9.7% increase fororiginal Ordinary Share shareholders and a 5.5% increase for original "C"Ordinary Share shareholders. This enhanced dividend was paid to Ordinaryshareholders in respect of the second quarter. As previously referred to, aSpecial Dividend was paid on 22 June 2007 to the holders of Ordinary Shares inthe amount of 20.08 pence per Ordinary Share held. The total dividend paid inthe year to Ordinary Shareholders was 28.205 pence per share while 3.625 penceper share was paid to "C" Ordinary Shareholders prior to their conversion intoOrdinary Shares. The total dividend paid in the year to "D" Ordinary shareholders was 6.5p. The Ordinary Share net asset value fell from 142.97 pence per share to 101.16pence per share, a decrease of 9.51% taking into account the distributions thatwere paid out for the year. The "D" Ordinary Share net asset value fell from98.83 pence per share to 72.52 pence per share, a decrease of 20.05% taking intoaccount the distributions that were paid out for the year. Cancellation of Shares In an attempt to manage the discount to net asset value of the Ordinary Sharesthe Company undertook three separate share buy backs over the course of theyear. In February 2007 the Company purchased 138,963 Ordinary Shares forcancellation. In July 2007, following the merger of the Ordinary and "C"Ordinary Share portfolios, the Company purchased 1,100,000 shares forcancellation. The Company purchased for cancellation an additional 2,250,000Ordinary Shares on 18 October 2007. The Company was granted permission to buy back "D" Ordinary shares on 6 June2007. The Company purchased for cancellation 503,487 "D" Ordinary Shares on 18October 2007 also for cancellation. Since the publication of the unaudited interim results in September 2007 thediscount to net asset value for both the Ordinary Share and "D" Ordinary Shareshas widened to 39% and 25% respectively. The Board believes that this increasein discount is a reflection of the change in sentiment towards the UK commercialproperty market following the onset of the credit crunch and notes that such adiscount is not unusual amongst the peers of the Company. The Board does notbelieve the current discount is a fair reflection of the prospects for theCompany. However, given the existing sentiment expressed towards the UKcommercial property market, the Board would be reticent to undertake a furtherbuy back of shares for either the Ordinary or "D" Ordinary Share portfoliosunless it is satisfied it would be in the best interests of shareholders as awhole to do so. We will continue to monitor the situation over the next yearand have included appropriate resolutions in the notice of Annual GeneralMeeting seeking permission to carry out buy backs with certain restrictions. The potential for share buy backs is limited by the introduction of the MarketAbuse Directive. The Company is unable to buy its own shares during closeperiods (the sixty day period before financial results are normally published inApril and September). The Directors would like to reiterate that shareholderswishing to sell at any other time should first contact their own adviser, whomay wish to contact the Property Investment Adviser, Close Investments Limited. Future Prospects The Board believes that the Company will continue to be affected by thedifficulties in the UK commercial property market. As the Property InvestmentAdvisor reports, the UK commercial property market has experienced its mostsevere and rapid correction in values in the last 15 years and it is likely thatvalues may fall further before the bottom of the market is reached. However, theBoard believes that underlying income profile of the Company's assets isapproaching a level which is sustainable in the current economic climate. CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (continued) Future Prospects (continued) he outlook for the UK economy has worsened since the publication of theCompany's interim report and this may reduce occupier demand for certain sectorsof the commercial property market. This may also affect the potential forrental growth. However, the multi-let and regional nature of the Company'sassets should be more resilient. Given the current market conditions, it is prudent for the Company to reduce thefuture target dividend level for both Share classes. We now intend, in theabsence of unforeseen circumstances, that the Company will pay gross annualdividends totalling 6.5p per Ordinary Share and 5p per "D" Ordinary Share. Itis likely that future dividends will be paid out of distributable capitalreserves rather than revenue reserves as has been the case in the past. The Board will keep the Company's dividend policy under review and will increasethe level of dividends if market conditions improve. The Board does not believe the prospects for the Group are fairly reflected inthe discount to net asset value it is presently trading at. The Board hasconfidence in the asset management team it has in place and believes that theyhave the ability to generate performance when capital values stabilise. We remind investors that a resolution will be put to the 2010 Annual GeneralMeeting of the Company regarding the possible continuation of the Company'sinvestment activities. If that resolution is not passed, it is intended that anorderly disposal programme would be instituted, leading to a return of capitalto investors.
