The portfolio continues to perform operationally, with high levels of resident occupancy and tenant satisfaction.\n \nOur newly appointed Investment Manager, Atrato, is in post and is already progressing key strategic improvements for SOHO. Its initial focus has been on successfully completing the Westmoreland transfer and resolving the My Space issue, where we have entered into an option agreement which provides us with control over the solution.\n \nThis proactive step, led by Atrato, will help improve rent collection and resident occupancy. With the dividend for last year being effectively covered (0.99x), top line growth has the potential to drive earnings and valuation upside going forwards, particularly when coupled with our long term, low cost debt and the cost savings resulting from the switch to market capitalisation management fee under Atrato's appointment.\n \nLooking ahead, we are excited to take SOHO forwards with Atrato, building on our track record of providing much needed homes for vulnerable residents, allowing them to live independent and happy lives whilst delivering long-term, growing income for shareholders.\"\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n31 December 2024\n\n\n31 December 2023\n\n\n\n\nIFRS & EPRA Net Tangible Assets per share\n\n\n99.05p\n\n\n113.76p\n\n\n\n\nTotal Accounting Return\n\n\n(8.1)%\n\n\n9.32%\n\n\n\n\nAdjusted Earnings per Share\n\n\n5.40p\n\n\n4.61p\n\n\n\n\nAdjusted Dividend Cover\n\n\n0.99x\n\n\n0.85x\n\n\n\n\nLoan to Value1:\nGross\nNet\n\n\n \n40.0%\n37.7%\n\n\n \n37.0%\n34.5%\n\n\n\n\nRent Collection\n\n\n92.6%\n\n\n90.2%\n\n\n\n\nOngoing Charges Ratio\n\n\n1.6...
