number of potential targets but at this stage have not entered into any binding
agreements.

base  either  prior  to  or  at  the same time as the Company carries  out  any
substantial acquisition or investment.

The Directors' investment criteria are:

*   that the investments shall be  focussed  on high quality real estate assets
within  Scandinavia, St Petersburg region of Russia,  the  Baltic  States,  the
maritime  provinces  of  Poland  and  the  Hamburg Schleswig Holstein region of
Germany

*   to focus on long term cash-flows based on  sound  lease covenants with good
reversionary prospects and where possible development opportunities  to enhance
value;

*   to  invest  in  an  actively  managed regionally diverse property portfolio
covering all institutionally recognised property investment sectors; and

*   to invest in opportunities that  will  provide  stable  and  growing income
returns, based on long term secured cash-flows.
