Placing Programme Update

The Company's announcement of its results for the year ended 31 March 2014 and its Interim Management Statement as at 30 June 2014 highlighted the attractive operating environment that has provided the opportunity for disciplined and accretive growth. This has involved the issuance of 115.6 million shares to raise £57.4 million of equity and the completion of five acquisitions totalling £61.8 million at an average income yield of approximately 8%.

A Placing Programme, established through the Company's prospectus dated 20 March 2014 and approved by shareholders in April 2014, enables the Company to issue up to a further 120 million shares over the period to 19 March 2015, with such shares being issued at a premium to the prevailing net asset value ('NAV') in order to cover the costs associated with the issue. The Company's Investment Manager is actively considering a pipeline of potential acquisitions that satisfy the investment criteria.

It is intended that these potential acquisitions are funded through a combination of (i) the proceeds from property disposals; (ii) the use of a short term revolving credit facility that is under negotiation; and (iii) further equity issuance under the Placing Programme.

The Company, through its Investment Manager and brokers, will continue to engage and consult with existing and prospective new shareholders in connection with achieving accretive and disciplined growth via the Placing Programme over the period to March 2015.

Hinckley disposal

The Company announces that it has exchanged contracts to sell its site at Coventry Road, Hinckley for £4.525 million, on a subject to planning basis, to Redrow Homes Limited ('Redrow'). The price compares with the independent valuation as at 30 June 2014 of £3.85 million.

The property comprises a 9.1 acre former industrial site close to Hinckley town centre and is currently vacant and non-income producing. The disposal of this asset is consistent with the Company's strategy to maximise value from low or non-income producing property.

In August 2013 the Company secured an outline planning consent for 122 residential units. Under the terms of the transaction, Redrow is obliged to make a detailed residential planning application within three months of exchange of contracts at its own cost. This application must be consistent with the outline consent already secured by the Company.

Subject to Redrow securing detailed planning consent and satisfaction of other ancillary conditions, the Company will receive 50% of the purchase price at completion with the balance nine months later. The deferred consideration is secured by a charge over the land and the Company also has potential to receive additional consideration under an overage agreement which is linked to the residential sales values achieved by Redrow in due course.

its remaining, non-income producing site at the Olympic Office Centre in
Wembley for £15.25 million. Barratt have paid a 10% deposit and completion is
due on 23 September 2014.

The Company estimates that completion of the disposal will increase the
underlying pro-forma Net Asset Value (`NAV') of the Company, assuming no other
changes following the last reported NAV as at 30 June 2014, by approximately
3.5%.

The disposal is the successful conclusion of a strategy for the subject site
involving securing outline planning consent for change of use from a car park
to 227,000 sq ft of residential and ancillary uses. Proceeds will be redeployed
into income producing investments that are currently under consideration.

Following completion of the disposal of the subject site the Company continues
to own the 74,000 sq ft Olympic Office Centre which as at 30 June 2014 was
independently valued at £10.75 million.

ACQUISITION OF BEDFORD RETAIL WAREHOUSE PARK

The Company announces that it has acquired the freehold interest in St.John's
Retail Park in Bedfordfor £31.8million reflecting a net initial yield of
approximately 6.5%. The property is well located approximately 1.5 milesto the
south of Bedford town centre and comprises a130,000 sq ft retail warehouse park
let to 12 tenants with an adjoining 11,600 sq ft office building.

The retail park produces a rent of £2 million per annum which reflects a
relatively low average rent of £16 per sq ft. The average unexpired lease term,
assuming all tenants break at the earliest opportunity, is 7.9 years with
tenants including DSG Retail Limited (24% of income expiring in September 2020)
andHomebase Limited (17% of income expiring in May 2024). There is a single
vacant unit comprising 5,000 sq ft where terms have been agreed for a new
letting. Approximately half of the office building islet to DHL GBS (UK)
Limited at £61,000 per annum reflecting a low average rent of £9.50 per sq ft,
with approximately half of the remaining vacant space under offer.

The acquisition satisfies the Company's investment criteria by offering:

* An above average initial yield of approximately 6.5% with potential for
immediate growth assuming the completion of lettings under offer to new
tenants;

* Good fundamentals due to tenant demand, affordable rents, low retail
warehouse supply and vacancy in Bedford and above average population growth
for Bedford and the surrounding area; and

* Significant scope for asset management including lease extensions and
widening the planning consent in order to increase the rental tone and
improve the tenant mix.

The property was acquired via the acquisition of shares in a UK company that
had developed the property and therefore had latent capital gains tax
liabilities. Following conversion to Real Estate Investment Trust (`REIT')
status on 1 May, the Company has been able to extinguish these capital gains
tax liabilities. This provided a competitive advantage when bidding for the
property and resulted in the gross purchase price of £32.2 million.

Following the acquisition of St. John's Retail Park the Company expectsits
dividend to be fully covered by recurring earnings with approximately £12
million of cash remaining for on-going committed capital expenditure and
operational flexibility.

Looking forward, there are further potential capital expenditure initiatives
that should be accretive to earnings and net asset value (`NAV'). The Company
intends to fund these initiatives from selling smaller properties or the
issuance of new equity from treasury. The Company is now cautious about pricing
in parts of the market but may consider issuing new equity in a disciplined
mannerto fund specific acquisitionsthat are accretive to earnings.

Commenting, Duncan Owen, Global Head of Real Estate at Schroders said: "The
acquisition follows the disposal of low or non-income producing property and
results in SREIT being substantially invested with a fully covered dividend.
Converting to UK-REIT status has enabled SREIT to be more agile and competitive
by extinguishing the capital gains in the vendor special purpose vehicle and
therefore enhancing SREIT'sinitial income return."
