RNS Number : 9406F ING UK Real Estate Income Trust Ltd 21 January 2010 ING UK Real Estate Income Trust Limited 21 January 2010 ING UK Real Estate Income Trust Limited (IRET) - Net Asset Value as at 31 December 2009 The unaudited Net Asset Value ('NAV') per share of ING UK Real Estate Income Trust Limited (the "Company") as at 31 December 2009 was GBP 181.1m, reflecting approximately 55 pence per share. The NAV attributable to the Ordinary Shares is calculated under International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') and reflects an increase of approximately 6 pence per share, or 12%, compared to the previous quarter. At an underlying property level there has been a GBP 20.4m increase in the property portfolio valuation, representing a 6.1% increase over the period. It also includes an upwards adjustment in respect of the mark to market value of the interest rate swaps of GBP 0.8m. This NAV figure incorporates the external portfolio valuation as at 31 December 2009. It includes income for the current quarter and is calculated after the deduction of dividends paid prior to 31 December 2009, but it does not include provision for the next quarterly dividend which is expected to be paid in February 2010.
The unaudited NAV is as follows:
2009 2009 2009 2009
The movements in the NAV can be summarised as follows;
)
An external valuer will next value the property portfolio during March 2010 and the NAV per share as at 31 March 2010 will be issued in April 2010. The Company will be preparing its next Annual Report to 31 December 2009, and this will be issued to shareholders in April 2010. Investment Manager Commentary The UK Commercial Property Market experienced a rapid improvement in pricing over Q4 2009. This recovery has principally been driven by the high demand for real estate, coupled with a lack of suitable product available on the market. The IPD Monthly Index delivered positive capital growth in October, November, and December of 1.9%, 2.4%, and 3.0% respectively. The December figure was the largest monthly increase in IPD's 23-year history. Set against this backdrop, the majority of the Company's assets saw significant positive revaluation movements over the period which was primarily driven by yield compression. As with the IPD results, Retail Warehouse was the best performing sector. The underlying movements in the property valuation and the current sector weightings are set out in more detail below:
The portfolio's Net initial yield and the Net reversionary yield both moved inwards over the period. As at 31 December 2009, the portfolio had a Net initial yield of 7.54% and a Net reversionary yield of 8.50%. The occupancy rate was approximately 93% and the average lease length was 8.6 years. Notable transactions over the quarter included a new letting at Broadmead, Bristol to Barclays Bank for a term of 15 years at a rent of £415,000 pa; the letting of the 4th floor at Boundary House, London to Holman Fenwick Willan LLP at a rent of £113,470 pa; and the regear of the Texas Instruments Ltd lease at Northampton Business Park at a rent of £346,178 pa. The Company remains compliant with its principal banking covenants, with a current LTV for its securitised pool of 48.0% and an Interest Cover Ratio of 2.55 as at the Q4 2009 test date. The Company continues to have operational funds outside the securitised pool.

RNS Number : 8083F ING UK Real Estate Income Trust Ltd 20 January 2010 ING UK Real Estate Income Trust Limited 20 January 2010 Debt Repayment through Opportunistic Purchase and Cancellation of Securitised Notes ING UK Real Estate Income Trust announces that it has agreed to repay GBP 15 million of debt through the purchase and cancellation of loan notes at a discount to nominal value in two separate transactions. Upon purchase and cancellation, which will occur simultaneously on 29 January, the Company will reduce its outstanding loan balance to GBP 175 million. The loan notes, which hold an AAA rating, will be acquired for a total consideration of GBP 14.25 million, representing a 5% discount to nominal value. The Company will also prepay the corresponding SWAP amount, which is currently marked to market. The transaction will result in a one off gain to the Net Asset Value expected to be in the order of GBP 680,000, and will also save over GBP 719,000 per annum in interest charges. Michael Morris, Fund Manager commented: "This is an opportunistic purchase, enabling us to enhance both the underlying NAV and income account, whilst derisking the overall portfolio by maintaining the current LTV ratio and improving the interest cover position. We believe this is attractive for our shareholders, especially bearing in mind the current market dynamics and the limited options for this 'ring fenced' capital. This transaction again shows our proactive approach to debt management whilst at the same time enhancing our covered dividend position."

Fund Managers Commentary
The UK Commercial Property Market, having experienced negative valuation movements since mid 2007, finally appears to be showing signs of stabilisation. The IPD Monthly Index showed positive capital growth in both August and September of 0.2% and 1.1% respectively. There appears to be both widened and increased investor demand and set against this backdrop, the majority of the Company's assets saw either an unchanged or positive revaluation movement over the quarter.
The Company repaid GBP 35 million of its securitised debt over the quarter, and also agreed a revised fee structure with its investment manager that is more closely aligned with investors. The Company remains compliant with its principal banking covenants.
