As at 31 March 2007, UCP had already investedapproximately £317 million (91%) of its initialnet funds, evidence of significant progress andconsistent with the Company's originalinvestment objectives.

I am also pleased to update Shareholders onthe ongoing substantial progress made byyour Company in the period since the balancesheet date.

Results

Net investment income for the period was£2.7 million.

NAV as of 31 March 2007 was £1.0184 per sharecompared to £0.9626 per share at the time ofAdmission. This represents a rise of 5.8% overthe three months from Admission.

Adjusted NAV excludes the impact of thedeferred tax provision on the net assets of theCompany and is considered by the Board to be amore appropriate method of evaluating theperformance of the Company than NAV. TheBoard considers the provision of deferred tax atechnical accounting issue and does not believethat a material tax liability will arise on acorrectly structured sale of the Company's

assets. See note 10 of the accompanyingfinancial statements for further information onthe deferred tax provision.

As previously announced to Shareholders,Jones Lang LaSalle (“JLL”), an independentvaluer, completed the valuation of theCompany’s properties as at 31 March 2007.The Board of UCP is pleased to report,therefore, that the total market valuation ofthe six assets in the Company’s portfolio ("SeedPortfolio Assets") including construction costsand based on the exchange rate on 31 March2007, is £553.0 million, compared to £481.5million at Admission.

As at 31 March 2007, the Group held £110million of cash.

As stated in the Admission document, theDirectors have not proposed a dividend inrespect of the period ended 31 March 2007. TheDirectors will consider the payment of dividendswhen, in their opinion, it becomes commerciallyprudent to do so.

Outlook

Prospects for the Indian real estate marketcontinue to remain strong, especially for highquality, secure and well located assets such asthose in your Company’s portfolio.

Robust demand for quality commercial,residential, and retail space driven by India’scontinuing economic growth, and a constrainedquality supply in the midst of escalatingdemand, provide support for our strategy ofdeveloping commercial and retail space tosatisfy the increasing demand.

As evidenced by the recent successful IPO of anIndian commercial property portfolio, listed onthe Singapore Stock Exchange, we believe thatcurrently there is strong investor appetite forhigh quality real estate assets as those in yourCompany's portfolio.

With the initial investments in the NCR andKolkata projects, UCP has made significantprogress toward its goal of capitalizing on thediverse and growing Indian real estate marketthrough the development of commercial andretail space. Additionally, the Companycontinues to explore strategic funding optionsto further enhance project and shareholderreturns.

Given the timely investments in the projects,solid marketing initiatives, assembly of a world-class delivery team and progress on the pipelineprojects, I believe UCP has established a strongbase, with excellent momentum to achievetargeted returns.

India Macro

The Indian economy is the fourth largest in the worldas measured by purchasing power parity (PPP), witha gross domestic product (GDP) of USD 4.04 trillionin 2006. It is also the second fastest growing majoreconomy in the world (after China, which had a GDPgrowth rate of 10.7% in 2006). India's foreignexchange reserves, which stand in excess of USD 200billion, reflect the investor's confidence in theeconomy. As detailed in Goldman Sachs' BRICReport, India's economy is likely to become the thirdlargest in the world by 2032, ranking just after theUnited States and China. (Source: JLL, EconomicSurvey of India, PricewaterhouseCoopers Global RealEstate Now March 2007)

Due to its regulated financial environment, under-control inflation, stable political outlook, growingforeign exchange reserves, sustained growth in allsectors of the economy and young demographicprofile, the economy is expected to maintain ahealthy growth rate during the next few years. As aresult of the robust economic fundamentals, Indiahas emerged as an attractive investment destination.Continual liberalization and global liquidity haveresulted in significant increases in FDI and FII flowswhich help support the investments required to fundsuch high growth.

Within services, offshoring and outsourcing activitiesby global MNCs are a key driver of this growth. Indiais now one of the most preferred destinations interms of skilled and low-cost labor for suchoffshoring activities. In fact, India topped the ATKearney Offshore Location Attractiveness index in2005 by a significant margin, due to its mix of lowcosts, English language strengths, a well-developedinstitutional framework, significant depth in humanresources and critical mass of existing outsourcingactivities. Apart from IT/ITES and BPO services, therehas also been rapid growth in offshoring of activitiesto India in other industries such as banking andfinancial, health care and hospitality services.

India Real Estate

India has been experiencing increasing real estateactivity across all property segments of commercial,retail, residential and hospitality in the past fewyears. India real estate is expected to grow from USD12 billion in 2005 to USD 50 billion in 2010. OverUSD 15 billion of foreign investment is estimated tohave flown in in the year 2006-2007 of which 30%is in real estate. (Source: Industry Experts, JLL MerrillLynch, ASSOM Study, ENAM Research estimates)

The sector contributes 2% to the country’s currentGDP, with its share expected to rise to 5% in themedium to long term. As in other countries, theIndian real estate sector has significant linkages withseveral other sectors of the economy and over 250associated industries. Typically, every rupee investedin this sector results in 78 paise being added to theGDP. (Source: Deutsche Bank Report on UnitechCorporate Park, 2 March 07)

Strong demand for residential housing, townshipdevelopment, commercial/IT Parks and retail malls ismore structural. The key drivers to it are existingshortages, demographics, urbanization, growth innuclear families, easy availability of finance, andrising incomes. Additionally thrust on infrastructureprojects across the country has further enhanced thegrowth potential for real estate assets. (Source: JLL,Merrill Lynch, ASSOM Study)

The growth in the number of households has beenfaster than the population growth resulting in anincrease in the demand-supply gap for housing units.This is largely due to the recent trend of joint familiesbreaking up into nuclear families, driving demand formore residential units. (Source: Deutsche Bank Reporton Unitech Corporate Park, 2 March 2007)

While most developers remain concentrated on theresidential segment, players with development plansacross residential, commercial and retail assets wouldoffer stronger growth potential. A combination of adevelop-sell model for residential and a develop-lease-sell model for some commercial/IT Parks and retailassets will be more appropriate.

India Commercial Office Space - IT/ITES Space

A significant part of India’s strong economic growthhas been driven by the services segments – domestic,outsourcing and knowledge sources segments. Thishas created significant demand for large scale highquality office space across geographic markets. Lowstock of Grade A buildings in absolute terms andrelative terms, the strong demand for IT/ITES services,and the growing domestic economy has triggeredthis demand. (Source: JLL, Merrill Lynch, Researchreports, ASSOM Study)

The Indian IT/ITES industry is among the significantdrivers of commercial real estate. With the IT/ITESindustry expected to grow at 15-20% CAGR overFY2010-16E, this would translate into potentialcommercial real estate demand of another 400-700million sq ft. Add to this the demand from the non-IT/ITES sectors from domestic companies, banks,insurance companies, other financial services firmsbuilding out and MNCs targeting the India market;the total potential commercial real estate demand islikely to be ~450-530 million sq ft by FY2011E.(Source: Citigroup Investment Research, 4 May,2007)

According to a McKinsey-NASSCOM study, anadditional 14 - 16 million people would be requiredin the IT/ITES space alone, directly or indirectly, whichwould further create cumulative demand of 150million sq ft of office space by FY 2010. With limitedavailability of land and high prices in city centres,demand is shifting to new cities and the outskirts oflarge towns. Hence, even Tier-II and Tier-III cities arerecording significant growth in demand.

Interest Rate movement

The direction of interest rates remains critical to theproperty development cycle. Key risks to demand arespiraling interest rates and high property prices,which have raised some affordability issues in thenear term.

Government of India intends to cool real estate assetprices by curtailing funds to developers, imposingservice taxes on commercial/retail lease rentals andwithdrawing tax benefits on housing projects todevelopers. It is also proposed to clamp down on

overseas financing via External CommercialBorrowings for real estate developers to containinflation. Lack of easy access to capital will lowerprojected Return on Equity.

According to HDFC Chairman Deepak Parekh,interest rates in the Indian economy, including homeloan rates, have peaked and he neither expects ahike in interest rates by Reserve Bank of India nor afall in interest rates in the near future. (Source:Business Line, 11 July, 07)

The construction work at all of the Group'sdevelopment projects is performed by third partycontractors and the Group is reliant on suchcontractors performing these services in accordancewith the relevant construction contracts. If thecontractors fail to perform their obligations in amanner consistent with their contracts, thedevelopment projects may not be completed as andwhen envisaged, which may lead to unexpectedcosts. The Group has entered into a ProjectManagement Agreement with Unitech Limited, itsco-investor and India's largest listed propertydeveloper (by market capitalisation), under whichUnitech Limited is engaged to provide propertymanagement services in respect of each of theinvestment properties under construction.

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in the prices ofraw materials and components used in itsconstruction projects. These commodities includesteel, cement and timber. The costs of componentsand various small parts sourced from outsidemanufacturers may also fluctuate based on theiravailability from suppliers.

The Group's currency exposure as at 31 March 2007was as follows:

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Group holds financial assets and liabilities thatare interest bearing; as a result the Group is subjectto interest rate risk due to fluctuations in theprevailing levels of market interest rates. Any excesscash and cash equivalents are invested at short-termmarket interest rates.

The effective rate of interest on the Group's financelease liabilities is 10% per annum.

5.3 Credit risk

6.1 Investment properties under construction
