Munich Neuaubing
In July, the Company extended a 34,200 sqmlease with an existing multinational tenantat our Munich Neuaubing site for ten years,which over the lease will generate 44.7m
of income (inclusive of service charge).
Cost benets have come despite the welldocumented increases in electricity andheating costs throughout Germany this year.The main benets have come from optimisingand controlling our facility management andutilities suppliers combined with the use ofsignicantly improved cost allocation tools.
The improved optimisation and transparencyto tenants makes the recovery of service chargecosts an easier process and we expect this willcontinue into the future. Overall, we expectto make further savings of approximately1m in the current nancial year.
Despite the challenging economicbackground we are seeing a muchimproved rate from new lettings.

Chairmans statement
IntroductionI am pleased to announce the Groups half-yearlyresults for the six months ended 30 September 2011.In a difcult trading environment, the Company hasmade good progress. Our rent roll is continuing toincrease, reecting demand from the SME marketfor our unique mix of commercial, ofce and lightengineering space. At the same time, the Companyhas remained focused on renewing existing leaseswith key tenants, which is reected in our improvedretention rates.
The programme of cost reduction and better costrecovery from service charges continues and theCompany expects to benet by a further 1m of costreductions in this nancial year. This has been achieveddespite the substantial increases in electricity andheating costs experienced throughout Germany.
Good progress has also been made on the futuremanagement structure and the Company will in duecourse make an announcement on long-term plansfor the management team.
Results
For the period under review, gross income was22.1m (2010: 22.0m). The improvement in totalincome is despite the loss of 345k of surrenderpremiums which were received in the same periodlast year. The property portfolio, consisting of38 properties, had an annualised gross rent rollof 44.4m (30 September 2010: 41.5m) overa total lettable area of 1.15m sqm.
Recurring prot before tax for the period was0.9m (2010: 1.2m), excluding property revaluation,change in fair value derivative instruments and theone-off impact of the 0.4m costs incurred for
advice relating to the asset management contract.Good progress has been made on reducing theirrecoverable service charge costs through a combinationof optimising contracts and improving allocation,
Robert Sinclair
Chairman

therefore bad debts relating to unpaid service chargesare expected to be much lower than previous yearsalthough there will be an impact from the increasedcost of utilities.
Capital expenditure during the six months to30 September 2011 was 4.8m, which was mainlyrelated to creating new space for letting and dealingwith the associated regulatory requirements. We expectcapex investment in the second half to be much lower.
The adjusted EPS, which excludes: property revaluation;related deferred tax and non-controlling interest; andchange in fair value on derivative nancial instruments,was 0.27c as at 30 September 2011 (2010: (0.11c)).
Net Asset Value (NAV)DTZ Zadelhoff Tie Leung GmbH have valued theportfolio at 492.0m (31 March 2011: 505.5m).
The adjusted NAV per share, which excludesdeferred tax and change in fair value adjustmenton nancial derivative instruments, was 66.63c asat 30 September 2011 (31 March 2011: 72.85c).
The reduction in valuation is not reective of the
Companys performance as both income and costrecoveries are moving in a positive direction. Our valuershave indicated that the reduction is due to theirperception of market conditions.
DividendThe Companys focus is on increasing rental incomeand reducing the cost base of the business so thatthe Company can return to paying dividends in duecourse. We will continue to review this policy andexpect to reinstate a progressive dividend once itis prudent to do so.
FinanceAs at 30 September 2011 the Companys borrowings,excluding capitalised loan costs, totalled 300.0m
(31 March 2011: 304.3m), representing an LTVof 61.0% (31 March 2011: 60.2%). Both bankingfacilities are operating within covenants and thefacility with the Royal Bank of Scotland maturesin October 2012. As at 30 September 2011, theCompany had cash reserves of 13m, which is downfrom 24m at the same point last year. The reductionin cash balances stems primarily from debt amortisationand required capital expenditure. The Board is in theprocess of nalising a plan to ensure that the Companyhas sufcient operating cash ow to service itsborrowings and cover future capital expenditurerequirements. This is likely to include further assetmanagement activities to optimise the portfolioand some strategic asset disposals of carefully selectedassets enabling a consolidation of the business andthe creation of a new nancial and operational baseupon which the Company would seek to grow.
Asset managementThe Sirius brand is now well established amongstthe German business park sector and is widely knownamongst the German SME market for providing trulyexible workspace throughout the country. As yet,
the political and economic turmoil across Europe hasyet to result in a slowdown in demand for our productand the manager has continued to see a high levelof enquiries for new space in the Companys portfolio.Sales enquiries are exceeding 1,000 per month inthe majority of months, and the Company sawa 10% increase in the total number of enquiriesfor the period compared to twelve months ago.
The Company signed 65,153 sqm of newleases compared with move-outs of 37,275 sqm.This compares to 87,078 sqm of new leases and73,966 sqm of move-outs in the same period last
year. On a sqm basis, net lettings of 27,878 sqmversus 13,112 sqm represents a solid improvement.However, further success has been achieved in therental rate in the period of 5.18 per sqm comparedto 4.16 per sqm last year. Despite the challenging

economic background the Company is starting tosee some signicantly improved returns from creatingthe unique Sirius product. As a result, occupancywas 77% as at 30 September 2011, comparedwith 73% as at 30 September 2010 and 76% as at31 March 2011. It is worth noting that the new lettingssigned in the period will underpin the next period.This is because there has been a longer than expectedlag between signing and moving in. These will comethrough in the second half of the nancial year butwill be offset, somewhat, by the move-out of Siemens(13,161 sqm) which took place post the half year in
October 2011. The improved lettings rate is reectedin the average rental value of the portfolio improvingto 4.18 psm (31 March 2011: 4.13 psm).
A key focus for the Asset Management team hasbeen on tenant retention and in particular retainingthe Companys largest tenants. In July, the Companyextended a 34,200 sqm lease with an existingmultinational tenant at our Munich Neuaubingsite for ten years at an average rate of 4.46 psm,which over the lease will generate 44.7m of income(inclusive of service charge). Additionally, the move-outsin the period of 37,275 sqm were signicantly lower
than the 73,966 sqm experienced for the same periodlast year. This is an encouraging reection of theemphasis the team has placed on retention.
The programme of cost reduction and costrecovery has continued into the current nancial year.This benet has come despite the well documentedincreases in electricity and heating costs throughoutGermany this year. The main benets have come fromoptimising and controlling our facility managementand utilities suppliers combined with the use ofsignicantly improved cost allocation tools. Theimproved optimisation and transparency to tenantsmakes the recovery of service charge costs an easierprocess and we expect this will continue into thefuture to have a positive effect on the bottom line.Overall, we anticipate making further savings ofapproximately 1m in the current nancial year.
In September, the Company sold a parcel of landat the Bremen Brinkmann site and sold part of oneof the sites in Bonn. These two disposals will generateclose to 2.5m of proceeds and around 600,000of prot, which will be reported in the secondhalf of this nancial year. These properties arecurrently generating 115,000 of annual income.Approximately 2m of the proceeds will be usedto repay the loans outstanding at these sites.
Asset management contract
As previously announced, the Board is in the processof determining the optimum management structurefor the Company going forward. The Board has beenin discussions with various parties including PCSREAM,the current Asset Manager. As a result of thesediscussions, the Board will in due course be makingan announcement conrming the long-termmanagement structure of the business.
Board changesOn 15 July 2011, Dick Kingston stood down fromthe Board. His signicant real estate experience wasinvaluable to the Company and on behalf of theBoard I would like to thank him for his contributions.My appointment as Chairman followed once Dickstepped down.
Subsequently, on 26 July 2011, the Company was pleasedto announce the appointments of Ian Clarke, Rolf Elgeti,Shelagh Mason, Eitan Milgram, Charles Parkinsonand Amanda Spring as Non-executive Directors. On15 November 2011, Justin Schaefer was also appointedas Non-executive Director, replacing Eitan Milgram.
With the new Directors to the Board, the Company
has retained a good balance of independent Directorsplus greater representation from key shareholders.Their wealth of experience is proving extremely usefulin this period of transition for Sirius.
OutlookThe Company has delivered a satisfactory tradingperformance for the rst six months of this nancialyear and is on track to meet management expectationsfor the full year. Given the wider market environment,this reects well on the business and its ability toadapt to the needs of tenants.
The Board is focused on nalising the futuremanagement structure together with a new strategicplan to create a long-term nancial and operationalplatform on which to grow the business in the currentmarket environment. The Board is condent that Siriuscan, with time, deliver signicant returns to shareholders.

We conducted our review in accordance withInternational Standard on Review Engagements(UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim FinancialInformation Performed by the Independent Auditorof the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices Boardfor use in the UK. A review of interim nancialinformation consists of making enquiries, primarilyof persons responsible for nancial and accountingmatters, and applying analytical and other reviewprocedures. A review is substantially less in scopethan an audit conducted in accordance withInternational Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland)
and consequently does not enable us to obtainassurance that we would become aware of allsignicant matters that might be identied inan audit. Accordingly, we do not express anaudit opinion.
ConclusionBased on our review, nothing has come to ourattention that causes us to believe that the unauditedset of nancial statements in the Interim Report forthe six months ended 30 September 2011 is notprepared, in all material respects, in accordance with
the recognition and measurement requirementsof IFRS as adopted by the EU and the AIM Rules.

The interim set of nancial statements has been prepared applying the accounting policies
and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Companys published consolidated nancial statements forthe year ended 31 March 2011. They do not include all of the information required for full annual nancial statements,and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated nancial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended31 March 2011.
These nancial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as it is the view of the Directors that thisis the most appropriate basis of preparation to adopt having considered the issues identied below:
Asset management agreementOn 3 May 2011, the Company announced that it was in discussion with the Asset Manager with the objectiveof agreeing new management arrangements following termination of the existing arrangement as part of a reviewto ensure shareholders receive the best value and quality of service. The Board has been in discussions with variousparties including PCSREAM, the current Asset Manager.
FinancialThe Group incurred a net loss of 23,208,000 during the period ended 30 September 2011 (30 September 2010: 3,634,000).The Directors have prepared cash ow forecasts for a period greater than twelve months from the date of approval of thehalf-yearly results. These forecasts show that the Group will require additional nancing in October 2012.
The Board is in the process of nalising a plan to ensure that the Company has sufcient operating cash ow to serviceits borrowings and cover future capital expenditure requirements. This is likely to include further asset management activitiesto optimise the portfolio and some strategic asset disposals of carefully selected assets enabling a consolidation of thebusiness and the creation of a new nancial and operational base upon which the Company would seek to grow.
Based on the reasons outlined above, the Directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the nancial statementson a going concern basis.

Balance as at period end 491,960 501,180 505,500
The fair value of the Groups investment properties at 30 September 2011 has been arrived at on the basis of a valuationcarried out at that date by DTZ Zadelhoff Tie Leung GmbH, an independent valuer.
The value of each of the properties has been assessed in accordance with the RICS Valuation Standards on the basis ofmarket value. Market value was primarily derived using a ten-year discounted cash ow model supported by comparableevidence. The discounted cash ow calculation is a valuation of rental income considering non-recoverable costs andapplying a discount rate for the current income risk over a ten-year period. After ten years a determining residual value(exit scenario) is calculated. A cap rate is applied to the more uncertain future income, discounted to a present value.
On 14 September 2011 an agreement was made to dispose of some land at the Brinkmann site for 1,073,670. The saleis conditional on the purchaser acquiring an adjacent piece of land from the local authority and this is expected to takeplace at the latest by 28 March 2012.
