For the period, the company has continued to make operational progress during the first quarter, with 50 new lettings signed representing 72,100 sq m of space and generating £5.2 million of new annualised rental income compared to £4.9 million in the first quarter of 2012. This includes £0.9 million of new annualised rental income from the take-up of recently completed developments but excludes space re-let at the Neckermann site in Frankfurt compared to £0.9 million in the first quarter of 2012. In general, lettings were completed at good rental levels and were ahead of the valuers' December 2012 estimated rental values.
