David Tye, Chairman, commented:

"In the present economic climate there are few grounds to expect the value of our residual directly-owned property portfolio to increase over the next few years as a result of general market forces. Accordingly, we are actively continuing our sales programme with the timing of disposals being driven by the circumstances of each individual property. This is particularly linked to lettings, rent reviews and other asset management initiatives with the achievement of planning consent at Chilton Trinity as a major goal.

"A number of property disposals are planned for the second half of the financial year and further returns of cash to shareholders will be announced when economically viable amounts have been realised."

CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW

Financial Performance

The results for the six months ended 31 July 2011 reflect the strategic decision of the Company to dispose of its properties and return proceeds to shareholders, which resulted in a reduction in rental income and a decrease in fee income following the takeover of Rugby Estates Investment Trust PLC ("REIT PLC") in 2010.

In the six months ended 31 July 2011 the Group recorded a loss of GBP0.64 million (31 July 2010: profit GBP2.38 million). There was no tax charge (31 July 2010: credit GBP0.02 million). Net revenue items, comprising rental income, fee income and finance income less administrative expenses, resulted in a net loss of GBP0.1 million (31 July 2010: profit GBP1.19 million). The directly owned property portfolio recorded a loss of GBP0.68 million (31 July 2010: loss GBP1.41 million), comprising a profit from the sale of the property at Staines of GBP1.17 million with realised and unrealised valuation changes for the other properties amounting to GBP1.85 million. The contribution of co-investment vehicles to profit was GBP0.13 million (31 July 2010: GBP2.6 million). Total comprehensive expense for the period, which takes into account certain gains and losses on co-investment vehicles, was GBP0.9 million (31 July 2010: income GBP1.03 million).

We continue to realise the value of the directly-owned property portfolio with individual assets being sold when key lease and asset management events have been completed. We have been working for a considerable time to achieve planning consent for residential development at our industrial site at Chilton Trinity, Somerset and to redevelop our former tool hire depot in Surbiton, Surrey as a convenience supermarket. Achieving these consents will increase the expected realisation proceeds of these properties. In October, we were delighted to achieve consent for the Surbiton property following appeal and a sale of this property to a leading supermarket operator is now in solicitors' hands. The Chilton Trinity planning application continues to suffer from the administrative delays endemic in the UK's planning system but we are now expecting a decision by the end of the year.

Following the property sales during the period and receipt of cash from ING Covent Garden Limited Partnership ("CGLP"), the Board announced, on 30 June 2011, proposals to return 125p per share in cash to shareholders. Following approval by shareholders at a General Meeting and by the Court, cash payments totalling GBP4.6 million were made to shareholders on 18 August 2011. This brings the total cash returned to shareholders since 31 January 2009 to GBP45.4 million. The holder of one hundred ordinary shares at 31 January 2009, when the market value was GBP213, has since received GBP270 in cash and now holds 14 new ordinary shares with a market value as at 25 October 2011 of GBP56, representing an increase in shareholder value of 53% since January 2009.

Triple net asset value per share ("NNNAPS") at 31 July 2011, calculated on a going concern basis consistent with previous periods, was 587p (31 January 2011: 639p; 31 July 2010: 629p (restated for the 2 for 3 share capital consolidation on 20 January 2011)). Pro forma NNNAPS, calculated by adjusting triple net assets of GBP21.6 million at 31 July 2011 for the subsequent return of cash of GBP4.6 million and the associated 9 for 13 share capital consolidation, was 667p per share. The calculation of NNNAPS is set out in note 10 below.

NNNAPS is calculated and reported as a key performance indicator to enable shareholders to assess changes in underlying net assets at estimated market value. This is based on the statement of financial position which is prepared on a going concern basis. Accordingly, NNNAPS does not represent the amount that shareholders would receive on a liquidation of the Company as no allowance is made for such costs as asset disposal fees, termination of employment and other contracts, liquidators' fees and administration expenses during any winding up period.

Rugby Capital

Rugby Capital is the division of the Group that deals with our directly-owned property portfolio. The Group's strategy continues to be to manage the portfolio to maximise net rental income and capital receipts through disposals.

During the period, property disposals realised GBP3.8 million. The properties sold were:

   --     Staines, Moor Lane 
   --     London E15, Romford Road, Stratford 
   --     Harlow, Printers Way (part disposal - one unit remaining) 

Following these transactions and a review of valuations, the Directors' estimate of the market value of the Group's residual directly-owned portfolio as at 31 July 2011 was GBP14.1 million (31 January 2011: GBP19.6 million; 31 July 2010: GBP20.7 million). Sale proceeds realised in the half year of GBP3.8 million added to the portfolio value as at 31 July 2011 of GBP14.1 million show an 8.7% reduction from the portfolio valuation of GBP19.6 million as at 31 January 2011. This reflects the secondary nature of the portfolio and the expectation that the portfolio realisation will be substantially completed during 2012.

At 31 July 2011, 66% of the rental value of the Group's directly-owned portfolio was in offices, with 21% in the industrial sector and 13% in retail. London and South-East England accounted for 43% of the portfolio by capital value, with 35% in the Midlands, and 22% in the South West. Contracted annual rental income as at 31 July 2011 was GBP1.3 million and the estimated rental value for the portfolio, if fully let, was GBP1.5 million. Since 31 July 2011, lease expiries, principally at Edgbaston, have reduced contracted annual rental income to GBP0.9 million.

Rugby Asset Management ("RAM")

Rugby Asset Management is the division of the Group that deals with our co-investment and asset management activities.

Fee income for the period was GBP0.7 million (31 July 2010: GBP1.5 million). The prior period included GBP1.1 million (of which GBP0.6 million was a termination fee) in respect of REIT Plc, which was acquired by ING Real Estate Income Trust in May 2010.

RAM continues to act as Property Adviser to O Twelve Estates Limited and ING Covent Garden Limited Partnership, both vehicles in which the Group is also a co-investor.

RAM actively continues to pursue new asset management initiatives. Attention over the past year has principally focused on two opportunities in the hotel sector. However, a fund to develop budget hotels on the basis of a pre-let to specific major budget hotel operators is no longer progressing. We are actively working with an experienced operator of three star hotels in London to establish a fund to acquire a critical mass of such hotels.

O Twelve Estates Limited ("O Twelve")

O Twelve was launched in 2006 as an AIM quoted investment fund focused on real estate opportunities to the east of London where the 2012 Olympic Games is the catalyst for major regeneration and infrastructure initiatives. We were delighted that O Twelve was able to complete a Placing and Open Offer in January 2011 which raised GBP35 million (net of expenses) of new equity in cash. This has enabled O Twelve to restructure its debt, reduce gearing and replenish working capital. The fundamental rationale for the creation of O Twelve continues to be supported by the positive activity in its target area.

RAM currently receives an asset management fee of 0.6% of O Twelve's Gross Asset Value under a contractual arrangement which is subject to review by O Twelve at 31 March 2012. Fee income from O Twelve for the half year under review was GBP0.5 million (31 July 2010: GBP0.4 million).

In addition to RAM's role as Property Adviser to O Twelve, the Group holds 7,894,502 ordinary shares in O Twelve representing a 1.64% equity interest.

At 31 March 2011, the latest date for which O Twelve has announced results, its portfolio comprised 20 properties valued at GBP158.5 million and its net asset value per share was 8.34p. At 31 July 2011, O Twelve's share price was 5.88p and the carrying value in the financial position statement of our interest was GBP0.5 million. The difference between share price and estimated underlying net assets is not considered to be material for the purposes of calculating the Group's NNNAPS.

ING Covent Garden Limited Partnership ("CGLP")

RAM has been Property Adviser to CGLP since its creation in March 2002, and the Group holds a 6.46% interest.

During the period, CGLP completed the disposal of virtually the whole of its property portfolio and returned cash to investors, with the Group receiving cash distributions of GBP2.0 million. The Group's share of CGLP's estimated net assets as at 31 July 2011 was GBP0.2 million, which is the same as the carrying value in the statement of financial position.

RAM's role as Property Adviser to CGLP is now limited to matters associated with its winding up and any future fee income will not be material.

Financing

At 31 July 2011, Group cash balances amounted to GBP8.8 million and the Group had no borrowings.

After setting aside the GBP4.6 million returned to shareholders on 18 August 2011 and security deposits required for Court approval of GBP2.1 million, cash available to the Group was GBP2.1 million.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The risks and uncertainties facing the Group for the remaining six months of the financial year are:

-- prospects for growth in the UK economy continue to be weak and the effect of government spending policies increases the risk of economic stagnation and of tenant default, falls in rental values and more difficult letting conditions. This would adversely affect the rental income from and the capital value of the Group's directly-owned properties. This in turn would reduce the amount of cash available to be returned to shareholders, or delay the realisation period for the portfolio;

-- increases in investment yields which would adversely affect the value of the Group's portfolio;

-- lack of liquidity and limited investor interest, in particular as a result of the very limited availability of debt financing for purchasers of secondary property, may result in realisation proceeds achievable during the intended realisation period being less than previous valuations;

-- co-investment vehicles with bank borrowings may breach loan covenants or have difficulty in arranging additional or alternative financing. This in turn would adversely affect the value of the Group's holdings in those vehicles and future management fee income;

-- lack of investor appetite for managed property funds, the Group's limited ability to co-invest and competition for mandates from other asset management firms may make growth of the Group's asset management business difficult to achieve. Existing appointments may be terminated and competitive pressures on management fees may inhibit the profitability of the asset management business.

Prospects

In the present economic climate there are few grounds to expect the value of our residual directly-owned property portfolio to increase over the next few years as a result of general market forces. Accordingly, we are actively continuing our sales programme with the timing of disposals being driven by the circumstances of each individual property. This is particularly linked to lettings, rent reviews and other asset management initiatives with the achievement of planning consent at Chilton Trinity as a major goal. On the assumption that there are no further major shocks to the wider economy or the financial system, the Directors currently expect the disposal of the directly-owned property portfolio to have been substantially completed during 2012. Given the limited market activity and the intention to complete the portfolio realisation over the next year, shareholders should be aware that actual property realisations may not achieve current estimates of value and that whilst upsides arising from planning consents, if achieved, may offset shortfalls on other properties, the overall effect on returns of cash to shareholders cannot be predicted with accuracy.

The cost base of the Group remains under continuous review and we continue to expend considerable effort, in a difficult market, into generating new asset management business for RAM.

A number of property disposals are planned for the second half of the financial year and further returns of cash to shareholders will be announced when economically viable amounts have been realised.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting Policies

The interim financial information for the period ended 31 July 2011 has neither been audited nor reviewed pursuant to guidance issued by the Auditing Practices Board and does not constitute full statutory accounts for that period. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 January 2011, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union ("IFRS") and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' opinion on those accounts was unqualified, did not include any references to any matters to which the auditors drew attention without qualifying their report, and did not contain a statement made under section 498(2) or section498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial information in this report comprises the Group statement of financial position as at 31 July 2011, 31 January 2011 and 31 July 2010 and related statements of Group comprehensive income, cash flow and changes in equity and related notes for the periods then ended ("financial information"). The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the Group's principal accounting policies as set out in the Annual Report for the period ending 31 January 2011.

The endorsed IFRS that will be effective (or available for early adoption) in the financial statements for the year ending 31 January 2012 are still subject to change and to additional interpretation and therefore cannot be determined with certainty. Accordingly, the accounting policies for the period will only be determined finally when the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the year ending 31 January 2012.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, assumptions and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and amounts reported in the statements of comprehensive income and financial position. Such decisions are made at the time the financial statements are prepared and adopted based upon the best information available at the time. Actual outcomes may be different from initial estimates and are reflected in the financial statements as soon as they become apparent.

The measurement of fair value of available for sale financial assets and assessment of the net realisable value of property inventories constitute the principal areas of judgement exercised by the Board in the preparation of these financial statements. The underlying market valuations of property inventories and investment properties held by available for sale financial assets are carried out by directors and by external advisors whom the Board considers to be suitably qualified to carry out such valuations.

2. Segmental Analysis

The Group reports internally on two principal business segments. Rugby Capital deals with the Group's property trading and development activities including the Group's directly-owned portfolio and collaborative ventures substantially involving the Group's equity.

4. (Loss)/earnings per share

The calculation of basic (loss)/earnings per share is based on the loss for the period of GBP644,000 (31 July 2010: profit GBP2,398,000; 31 January 2011: profit GBP2,378,000) and 3,585,500 ordinary shares (31July 2010: 3,545,600 (restated); 31 January 2011: 3,550,630), the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. There are no dilutive shares in issue at the end of the period and therefore no diluted earnings per share.

On 27 May 2011, 111,933 ordinary shares were issued at par to satisfy vestings under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"). On 30 July 2011, five ordinary shares were issued for 410p each in cash.

The number of ordinary shares in issue at 31 July 2010 has been restated for the 7 for 15 share capital consolidation on 18 August 2010 and for the 2 for 3 share capital consolidation on 20 January 2011.

As a result of the 9 for 13 share capital consolidation on 3 August 2011, the number of ordinary shares in issue at 28 October 2011 is 2,548,728.

7. Reduction of Capital and return of cash to Shareholders

On 30 June 2011 the Company published a circular to shareholders convening a General Meeting to enable a return of cash to shareholders of 125p per share. The necessary resolutions were passed at the General Meeting on 18 July 2011. As part of this process, application was made to the Court for a reduction of capital and this was confirmed by the Court on 3 August 2011.

In connection with this the following actions took place with respect to the Company's share capital:

On 30 July 2011, five ordinary shares were issued for 410p each in cash, thus increasing the number of Ordinary Shares of 12p in issue to 3,681,496 in order to facilitate the share capital consolidation.

On 3 August 2011:

i. the 3,681,496 Ordinary Shares of 12p each were subdivided into 3,681,496 Ordinary Shares of 9p, 1,717,140 B shares of 3p each and 1,964,356 C shares of 3p each. Shareholders had elected whether to take B shares or C shares;

ii. the B shares were redeemed by the Company for 125p per share, to be paid to shareholders on 18 August 2011, and cancelled;

iii. a dividend was declared of 125p per C share, to be paid to shareholders on 18 August 2011, and the C shares were cancelled; and

iv. the 3,681,496 Ordinary Shares of 9p were consolidated on a nine for thirteen basis into 2,548,728 Ordinary Shares of 13p each.

On 18 August 2011 the cash payments, absorbing GBP4,601,870, in respect of the B share redemptions and the C share dividends were made to shareholders.

At 31 July 2011, the return of cash remained conditional on Court approval. Accordingly, the return of cash and the changes to share capital and reserves set out above, together with future payments of up to GBP230,093.50 under the Property Realisation Incentive Plan as a result of the return of cash, are not reflected in the interim financial statements for the period ending 31 July 2011. 8.

(i) Triple net assets per share is calculated and reported as a key performance indicator to enable shareholders to assess changes in underlying net assets at estimated market value. This is based on the statement of financial position which is prepared on a going concern basis. Accordingly, triple net assets per share does not represent the amount that shareholders would receive on a liquidation of the Company as no allowance is made for such costs as asset disposal fees, termination of employment and other contracts, liquidators' fees and administration expenses during any winding up period.

(ii) At the General Meeting held on 15 June 2009 shareholders approved two executive incentive schemes. Under the Property Realisation Incentive Plan ("PRIP") the executive directors will receive up to 5% of distributions to shareholders arising from the realisation of the Group's property portfolio and capital returns from co-investments between 1 February 2009 and 31 January 2014. If the Group's properties were sold at market value and co-investments were realised at share of estimated net assets as at 31 July 2011, and the proceeds distributed to shareholders, the further cost to the Group would be approximately GBP1.0 million. Under the Value Creation Plan ("VCP"), employees may receive benefits if certain performance targets relating to the value of the asset management business are achieved by 31 January 2014. This has no measurable effect on triple net assets as at 31 July 2011

(iii) The directors do not consider there to be a material difference between the Group's share of the estimated underlying net assets of the co-investments at 31 July 2011and their carrying value.

(iv) The number of ordinary shares and triple net assets per share as at 31 July 2010 have been restated to allow for the effects of the 2 for 3 share consolidation on 31 January 2011.

Pro forma net assets per share following the return of cash and share capital consolidation after 31 July 2011 as set out in note 7 above are calculated as follows:
