Operational Performance

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 has been to ensure that the portfolio is well positioned to begin its recovery. We remain focused on preserving the long-term value and financial strength of the Company. Covid-19 has had and will continue to have a material impact upon the trading performance of the Sector.

While the focus of the Board and the Manager during the March and June quarters has been on tenant and cash management, it is encouraging to now report that those efforts are yielding results and that the portfolio is beginning to stabilise. The revenue account for the quarter recorded an operating profit of GBP0.7m. The fundamental driver for this has been the Manager's engagement with tenants, which has yielded GBP2.4m in rental receipts over the last 3 quarters, some 78% of the total rent demanded.

For the period to 30 September 2020 the portfolio valuation stabilised across all sectors. In addition, asset management initiatives completed during the quarter have increased the portfolio valuation by GBP2.1m. The main value generator was the company entering into a new 10 year lease at Monteith House in Glasgow with Skills Development Scotland Limited at an annual rent of GBP489,989. This, together with the operating profit of GBP0.7m, has led to a corresponding increase in NAV.

The cash balance as at the end of the quarter is GBP1.1m. The Company has a GBP25M facility in place with no need to refinance until 30 September 2022. The amount drawn under the facility is GBP22.7m

The rent collection statistics (as at 13 October 2020) for the 3 quarters impacted by Covid-19 are reported below. We expect to see further improvement in the September 20 arrears in the coming months.

While the Board is pleased to report a degree of stability, exceptional circumstances affecting global economies and markets continue to prevail. The Board has therefore maintained its current policy to preserve cash and suspend interim dividends. The position will be reviewed again for the December 2020 quarter.
