  investment group, today announces results for the six months ended 
  30 September 2011.

                   0.78p (30 September 2010: loss of 4.78p, 31 March 
                   2011: loss of 4.64p) 
 
 
              *    Consolidated net assets of GBP36.3 million (30 
                   September 2010: GBP7.6 million, 31 March 2011:

                   to be returned to shareholders 
 Commenting on the results, Phillip Rhodes, Chairman of O Twelve, 
  said: 
  "Assets will be realised when the Board believes that they have achieved 
  their optimal values, given the particular circumstances of each 
  individual property. It is the Board's intention that the majority 
  of any realisation proceeds will be applied against debt as required 
  and that any cash surplus, after considering the Company's overall 
  financial position, will then be distributed to shareholders. 
 
  "The Board has confidence in the ability of the Group's London and 
  South East based property portfolio to withstand the continuing uncertain 
  economic environment. Whilst the Group's debt position presents ongoing 
  challenges, the current loan terms and relatively high gearing would 
  be very difficult to achieve for a new borrower today and, as a result 
  of our leveraged position, any growth in capital values over the 
  next few years will enhance shareholder returns significantly."

 CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
 I am pleased to present the Group's results for the six months ended 
  30 September 2011. 
 
  At 30 September 2011, the Group's investment property portfolio was 
  valued by CB Richard Ellis ("CBRE") at GBP158.2 million (31 March 
  2011: GBP158.5 million), an increase of 0.3% on a like-for-like basis, 
  although after taking into account capital expenditure during the 
  period the value remained static. The rental value of the portfolio 
  increased by 0.2% in the six months ended 30 September 2011, matching 
  the Investment Property Databank ("IPD") All Property Monthly Index 
  over the same period. 
 
  During the period there was a partial disposal of two units at Larkfield 
  Mill in Aylesford for a total consideration of GBP725,000. 
 
  During the period, the Group accepted a lease surrender from the 
  tenant of Western Avenue, Thurrock. The tenant, then the Group's 
  largest with an annual rental of GBP800,000, had been in serious 
  financial difficulty and it was felt that the best course of action 
  would be to accept a surrender of its lease, subject to payment by 
  the tenant of GBP262,500, rather than pursue a claim after an insolvency 
  event. 
 
  Results 
  The Group reported a net loss for the six months ended 30 September 
  2011 of GBP3.7 million (30 September 2010: loss of GBP5.9 million, 
  31 March 2011: loss of GBP8.6 million), representing a loss per Ordinary 
  Share of 0.78p (30 September 2010: loss of 4.78p, 31 March 2011: 
  loss of 4.64p). A significant contributor to the loss was the adverse 
  movement in the mark to market of interest rate swaps of GBP3.4 million. 
 
  The consolidated net assets at 30 September 2011 were GBP36.3 million 
  (30 September 2010: GBP7.6 million, 31 March 2011: GBP40.1 million), 
  representing net asset value per Ordinary Share of 7.56p (30 September 
  2010: 6.18p, 31 March 2010: 8.34p). 
 
  Financing 
  On 9 May 2011, the Group announced that the fixed rate hedging arrangement 
  on GBP26 million of loan principal had been broken and reset to variable 
  rates at a one-off cost of GBP3 million. 
 
  The loss of the tenant at Western Avenue had a negative impact on 
  the interest cover ratio ("ICR"). However, this was offset by the 
  reduction in interest cost following the hedging break and the thirteen 
  new leases which were contracted in the period, accounting for 45,000 
  sq ft of space and GBP0.7 million of rental income after rent free 
  periods. 
 
  Following the above, the interest cover ratio ("ICR") under the loan 
  facility improved from 117% as at 25 April 2011 to 135% as at 25 
  October 2011 against a current default level of 105%. The loan to 
  value ratio ("LTV") at 30 September 2011 remained unchanged from 
  31 March 2011 at 71% which is satisfactorily below the default level 
  of 85%. 
 
  The loan principal outstanding at 30 September 2011 was GBP124.8 
  million, with GBP12.8 million of the Group's cash balances being 
  held on blocked deposits over which the lenders have security. In 
  October 2011, GBP5.9 million of cash held on blocked deposit was 
  applied in partial repayment of the loan principal. As LTV under 
  the loan facility is calculated after deducting the blocked deposits, 
  this had no effect on LTV, but will have a small positive effect 
  on ICR. At 30 September 2011, cash balances freely available to the 
  Group amounted to GBP4.9 million. 
 
  Dividend 
  The Board does not recommend the payment of an interim dividend (31 
  March 2011: nil). 
 
  Future Prospects 
  The Board believes that the resolution passed at the Annual General 
  Meeting to extend the Group's Target Area is a positive step, which 
  will enable the Group to take advantage of projects and acquisitions 
  outside the original Target Area that it believes will add shareholder 
  value. However, in the present unfavourable economic and financial 
  climate, the Directors do not expect the Group's lenders to approve 
  new acquisitions or projects other than those which would directly 
  benefit existing assets. For the foreseeable future it must, therefore, 
  be assumed that the greater part of any realisation proceeds will 
  not be reinvested and will be applied in paying down the loan facility. 
 
 
 Your Board and its advisers have examined the strategies available 
  to the Group and believe that the interests of shareholders are best 
  served by continuing to unlock the latent value within the portfolio 
  through proactive asset management. Assets will be realised when 
  the Board believes that they have achieved their optimal values, 
  given the particular circumstances of each individual property. The 
  balance of the Group's properties will be disposed of by the end 
  of the loan facility term in 2016. All disposals will take into account 
  the impact on loan covenant compliance at that time. It is your Board's 
  intention that the majority of any realisation proceeds will be applied 
  against debt as required and that any cash surplus, after considering 
  the Company's overall financial position, will then be distributed 
  to shareholders. 
 
  The Directors do not believe that it is in shareholders' interests 
  to use freely available cash resources to break the Group's existing 
  fixed rate loans. Earlier property realisations will, therefore, 
  be limited to the outstanding debt not subject to these arrangements 
  (GBP30 million at 9 December 2011). The adverse mark to market of 
  fixed rate loans, amounting to GBP15 million as at 30 September 2011 
  should, assuming current circumstances continue, be allowed naturally 
  to reduce to zero over the remaining loan term. This alone would 
  increase net assets attributable to shareholders by 41% over the 
  period. 
 
  In light of current market conditions and its realisation plan for 
  the next few years, your Board is reviewing all aspects of the Group's 
  operations to minimise costs over the period. This involves consideration 
  of all management and advisory arrangements and the Group's tax residency 
  and status. This review will be completed by the end of this financial 
  year. 
 
  The Board has confidence in the ability of the Group's London and 
  South East based property portfolio to withstand the continuing uncertain 
  economic environment. Whilst the Group's debt position presents ongoing 
  challenges, the current loan terms and relatively high gearing would 
  be very difficult to achieve for a new borrower today, and as a result 
  of our leveraged position, any growth in capital values over the 
  next few years will enhance shareholder returns significantly.

 PROPERTY ADVISER'S REPORT 
 
 Rugby Asset Management 
  Rugby Asset Management Limited ("RAM"), a member of the Rugby Estates 
  Plc group, was appointed Property Adviser to O Twelve Estates on 
  its admission to AIM on 27 March 2006. Our role is to identify transactions 
  for recommendation to and consideration by the Board of O Twelve 
  and to negotiate on its behalf. We undertake, on a day to day basis, 
  under delegated authority from the Board, all aspects of assembling, 
  managing and financing O Twelve's property portfolio. The Rugby Estates 
  Plc group holds a 1.6% interest in O Twelve Estates Limited. 
 Market Comment 
  In the six months to September 2011, UK commercial property capital 
  values generally continued to increase, albeit at a sluggish pace. 
  The IPD Monthly Index showed a marginal increase of 0.6% over the 
  period. The uncertainty over the Eurozone debt crisis, however, continues 
  to undermine confidence and it is difficult to see any meaningful 
  economic growth in the short term. Investor perception of risk is 
  of paramount importance and the divergence between prime and secondary 
  property remains. London and the South East remain the preferred 
  locations for investors and this bodes well for the Group's portfolio, 
  which is wholly located in the South East. 
 The property to bond yield spread, at approaching 400 bps, remains 
  high but, in our view, reflects the nervousness on occupational demand 
  over the next few years. One of our principal asset management aims 
  continues to be to maximise cash flow with a particular focus on 
  minimising voids and reducing associated property outgoings. Over 
  the period we have completed thirteen new leases producing a contracted 
  rental income of GBP0.7 million per annum. In the 31 March 2011 Annual 
  Report, we noted that the void level within the portfolio had fallen 
  to 7.7%. Since then, we have accepted a surrender of the lease at 
  our distribution unit at Western Avenue, Thurrock which increased 
  the Group's void rate to 13.2% as at 30 September 2011. The tenant 
  company was in financial difficulty and, after a detailed review 
  of its position, it was felt that the best course of action would 
  be to accept a surrender payment of GBP262,500 from them rather than 
  pursue a claim after an insolvency event.

 Valuation 
  The external valuation of the Group's properties as at 30 September 
  2011 was GBP158.2 million (31 March 2011: GBP158.5 million). On a 
  like-for-like basis, the value of the portfolio increased by 0.3%, 
  but remained static having taken capital expenditure during the period 
  into account. This compares with the IPD Monthly Index, which showed 
  a minimal rise of 0.6%. The equivalent yield for the portfolio remained 
  stable over the period at 7.5%. This compares with the IPD Monthly 
  Index which showed an equivalent yield of 7.2%, a compression of 
  10 bps over the same period. 
 
 
 A comparison of the capital value movement of the Company's portfolio 
  against the IPD Monthly Capital Value Index is shown below.

 Activity 
  There were no material sales or acquisitions during the period, with 
  only a partial disposal of two units at Larkfield Mill in Aylesford, 
  which realised GBP725,000. 
 
  Our focus has continued to be on asset management and we are pleased 
  to report that thirteen new leases were contracted over the period, 
  accounting for 45,000 sq ft of space and GBP0.7 million of annual 
  rental income after rent free periods. Some of the key progress is 
  highlighted below: 
 
        *    Queensgate, Waltham Cross: Telford Homes have 
             completed a new 10 year lease without break on 19,500 
             sq ft of office space. 
 
 
        *    The Mall, Dagenham: Five leases have completed 
             accounting for GBP146,800 per annum of contracted 
             rental income after rent free periods. 
 
 
        *    Units 1-4 Mill River Trading Estate, Enfield: 
             Refurbishment works to these four units have now 
             completed and terms have been agreed with our 
             existing tenant, Edmundson Electrical, to extend 
             their lease on Unit 1 and also to take a new lease on 
             the newly refurbished Unit 2.

 Void Analysis 
  The income from Western Avenue, Thurrock accounted for 6.5% of the 
  contracted rent for the portfolio and consequently, as a result of 
  the lease surrender, the void rate has risen from 7.7% at 31 March 
  2011 to 13.2% at 30 September 2011. The rental value of vacant space 
  at 30 September 2011 was GBP1.8 million in 34 lettable units. During 
  the coming year our focus will continue to be on reducing the void 
  rate and minimising associated void costs. 
 Income Security 
  Given the continuing uncertainty in the economy and in the wider 
  banking and financial markets, investors are increasingly focusing 
  on security of income and tenant covenant strength. Some 30% of current 
  rental income is contracted for more than five years. Where leases 
  have less than five years to run, opportunities exist to refurbish 
  or consider changes of use in order to maximise value. In our view, 
  the portfolio offers a good balance between income security and opportunities 
  to add value. 
 Rent Collection 
  Maintaining a high level of rent collection remains one of our priorities. 
 
  Rent collection for the most recent quarter (September 2011) stands 
  at 97%, an increase from the collection rate of 90% in the March 
  and June quarters, which was reduced principally due to the non-payment 
  of rent by the tenant at Western Avenue, Thurrock. The tenant had 
  been in serious financial difficulty and in August 2011 a surrender 
  of their lease was agreed, on payment by the tenant of GBP262,500. 
 Income Expiry Profile as at 30 September 2011 
 Under 5 years                                         70% 
 Between 5 and 10 years                                25% 
 Over 10 years                                          5% 
 
 Of the portfolio's 127 tenants, 20 account for 56% of the contracted 
  rental income with the top 10 accounting for 40%. Tenants of, in 
  our view, a very strong or "national" standard account for 84% of 
  the contracted rent, while smaller regional and local businesses 
  account for 16% of the contracted rent.

 Outlook 
  With Government measures to reduce the budget deficit ongoing and 
  the Eurozone debt crisis unresolved, the occupational market is certain 
  to remain challenging for the near term. The focus of the portfolio 
  in the London/South East area generally and on the "Olympic" side 
  of London in particular should mitigate the impact if there is a 
  prolonged period of economic stagnation. 
 
  On a more positive note, there are clear opportunities to create 
  additional value within the portfolio from asset management initiatives 
  and these are actively being pursued.
