Gavin Tipper, chairman, commented: 
 
 
"The period under review has again been characterised by turbulence in world 
financial markets and a continued decline in the UK and European property 
markets. Against this backdrop, CIREF has been managed conservatively and 
remains financially sound, despite significant write-downs in asset values, 
substantial mark to market losses on interest rate swaps, and the forced 
administration of Trinity Walk Wakefield. CIREF's core operating earnings were 
marginally lower than those in the comparable period last year. 
 
 
The Group will continue to be managed conservatively with a focus on protecting 
existing assets. The market is presenting a number of attractive investment 
opportunities and these will be assessed in accordance with Group strategy, 
subject to available financing and maintaining its sound financial health. "

1.             CIREF is a property investment and development company 
incorporated on 28 September 2005 under the laws of Jersey which immediately 
after incorporation acquired the assets of Corovest International Real Estate 
Fund. It invests in commercial real estate primarily in the UK and Europe, with 
a focus on retail and commercial assets. CIREF's current investments are in the 
UK, Europe, the Channel Islands and the British Virgin Islands and it will 
continue to source value-enhancing opportunities in the these markets. 
 
2.             As at 31 March 2009 the portfolio consisted of 27 investments, 
including: 
-               Two large integrated town centre developments;

3.             The strategy of the Group comprises four distinct yet 
complementary elements: stable income investments; major development projects; 
value-enhancing projects and investments in property collective investment 
vehicles. The resources of the Group are intended to be allocated across all 
four elements with the aim of providing shareholders with a balanced exposure to 
lower risk, income-generating assets and assets that have the potential to 
provide a higher capital return. 
 
4.             The CIREF Group has an experienced board of eight non-executive 
directors. Five of the directors are connected to the Investment Manager.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
 
The period under review has again been characterised by turbulence in world 
financial markets. 
 
 
The UK IPD all property index for the six months to 31 March 2009 declined by 
19.7% and the European listed property index fell by 45.6%. 
 
 
A consequence of this was that banks in the UK looked to significantly reduce 
their exposure to the property sector. This resulted in a dramatic reduction in 
new lending and in some cases extended to an aggressive de-leveraging of loan 
books as facilities were called up and borrowers were forced to reduce debt by 
injecting cash, where loan covenants had been triggered by the declining 
property values. 
 
 
The resultant upheaval had a significant impact on real estate equities and a 
flurry of rights issues were launched and concluded during the first quarter of 
2009. 
 
 
The Group incurred a charge of GBP16.04m on asset impairments as a result of 
market conditions, with the write-off on Trinity Walk Wakefield comprising 
GBP6.65m of this. 
 
 
UK interest rates declined materially during the period with the consequence 
that losses were incurred on the interest rate swaps the company holds to hedge 
its cash flow exposure to the loans on certain of its investments. 
 
 
CIREF was conservatively managed during the period with a strong emphasis on 
preserving cash and remains financially sound despite the significant 
write-downs in asset values, the substantial mark to market losses on interest 
rate swaps, and the forced administration of Trinity Walk Wakefield. CIREF's 
core operating earnings were only slightly lower than those in the comparable 
period last year. 
 
 
Operations 
 
 
At an operating level, the Company produced profit from core operations of 
GBP2.10m (2008: GBP2.53m). 
 
 
Net earnings were however affected by asset impairments, the write-off of the 
Trinity Walk Wakefield investment, and substantial losses on interest rate swap 
valuations which in aggregate resulted in a net loss of GBP28.27m or 38.78p per 
share. 
 
 
Dividends 
 
 
The Board of Directors has resolved to declare a dividend of 1.74p per share. 
This equates to 4.5% of net asset value pro-rated for the half-year period, and 
is consistent with the Group's dividend target payment ratio. 
 
 
The dividend will be offered to the shareholders as a scrip dividend, with the 
ability to elect to receive a cash dividend alternative. Further details 
surrounding the terms of the scrip dividend will be set out in the Circular and 
Form of Election which will be sent to all shareholders in due course. 
 
 
Prospects 
 
 
Expectations in the UK markets are that the worst of the decline in asset prices 
has passed. In Europe, the general consensus is that there may be further 
declines until a floor is reached. 
 
 
There is, however, a view that the substantial intervention by governments and 
central banks around the world (with stimulus packages, interest rate cuts and 
quantitative easing) will lead to increased inflation in time. This should be 
positive for property while interest rates remain low. 
 
 
The Group will continue to be managed conservatively with a focus 
on protecting existing assets. The market is presenting a number of attractive 
investment opportunities and these will be assessed in accordance with Group 
strategy, subject to available financing and maintaining its sound financial 
health.

  INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REVIEW 
CIREF was incorporated on the 28 September 2005 under the laws of Jersey and 
admitted to trading on AIM on 26 May 2006. 
The Group has investments in commercial and retail properties in the UK, 
Switzerland, Germany, the Channel Islands and the British Virgin Islands, which 
provide sustainable occupancy rates and income flows, together with 
opportunities for development and significant value enhancement. 
CIREF has an investment management agreement with Corovest Fund Managers Limited 
("CFM"), a British Virgin Islands registered and regulated Fund Manager. Under 
the agreement with the Group, CFM is responsible for the investment and 
management of the Group's assets. 
 
 
Group Strategy 
The Group's strategy is to provide investors with strong investment returns and 
a balanced exposure to lower risk income-generating assets and opportunities 
that will provide a higher capital return. 
This is achieved by acquiring property investments that are selected on the 
basis of four distinct yet complementary criteria: 
Stable income investments 
Part of the resources of the Group are applied to investment in properties that 
provide a stable, predictable and low risk income stream and which have limited, 
if any, associated development opportunities. The Group will typically only 
invest in such properties where there are opportunities to enhance the value of 
the investment, for example where the properties are under-rented and where rent 
reviews are due, or where yield compression is expected. 
Major development projects 
The investments that fall into this category provide an opportunity for 
considerable redevelopment in which the future post-redevelopment income is 
expected to be underpinned by pre-letting major parts of the development to 
businesses with strong rental covenants on a long-term basis and from existing 
tenants occupying the properties. 
These are multi-year projects which generally require high levels of funding and 
which may be delayed in difficult markets to reduce risk. 
These investments provide the Group with exposure to potentially high return 
projects but without being overly speculative in nature. 
Value enhancing projects 
The projects that fall into this category are smaller properties which can be 
converted on a relatively low risk basis to provide premium commercial space. 
These projects may also include an element of residential or mixed use 
development to enhance the returns. 
Investments in property collective investment vehicles 
The Group will explore opportunities to invest in property securities when the 
value is considered to be superior to that of physical property. 
The investments will often be of a strategic nature in which shareholding can be 
used to unlock value in underlying property assets. 
 
 
  Portfolio Details 
The Group's portfolio consisted of twenty-seven investments at 31 March 2009 in 
a range of fixed and listed property assets located within the UK, Switzerland, 
Germany, the Channel Islands and the British Virgin Islands. 
Details are set out below.

Market Overview 
 
 
The global credit crisis which started in mid 2007 continued to be the major 
driving force on international real estate markets during 2008/2009. 
 
 
During the six months to end March 2009, UK and European property share prices 
continued their dramatic declines. The EPRA (European listed property) index 
fell 45.6%.  Physical property fared a little better with the IPD All Property 
Monthly Index for the six months to end March 2009 falling 19.7%. 
 
 
Both the UK and Europe are in severe recession with deflation the major concern 
for policy makers. 
 
 
Central banks have reduced interest rates to unprecedented levels and, together 
with stimulus packages and other measures such as quantitative easing, this is 
resulting in some confidence returning to financial markets and at least one 
respected property analyst has called the bottom of the market in the UK. 
 
 
The investment manager is being cautious in its outlook and, although in 
agreement with the view that the worst may be over, it expects any recovery to 
be slow and prolonged. 
 
 
Acquisitions 
 
 
The Group reached agreement on the following acquisitions during the period 
under review: 
 
 
United Kingdom 
 
 
 
 
50% of Byron Place Shopping Centre, Seaham 
Agreement was reached with the Modus Property Group to acquire a 50% stake in 
Byron Place Shopping Centre, Seaham.  The investment comprises a circa 42.000ft² 
ASDA Food Store as well as a further 15 units totalling 73,000ft² of additional 
retail space arranged along a straight enclosed mall.  Completion occurred on 27 
April 2009. 
 
 
Europe 
 
 
Bremen - Lindenhof 
 
 
The acquisition of a recently developed shopping centre in Bremen, Germany for a 
purchase price of EUR 7.7m is at an advanced stage. The centre is anchored by an 
Aldi supermarket and several other multi-national tenants, all on ten year 
leases, accounting for approximately 65% of the total rental income. The 
consideration will be funded by senior debt (provided by a local German bank), 
vendor finance and equity. Agreement on the terms and completion of this 
acquisition is expected before the end of June 2009. 
 
 
Update on Development Projects & Major Retail Schemes 
 
 
The Company announced on 16 December 2008 that its joint venture development 
partner Modus Property Group "Modus" was in discussions with its bankers 
regarding its working capital facilities. 
 
 
Modus has informed the Company that it is not in a position to provide any 
further funding for its joint ventures with CIREF. These joint ventures 
comprised: 
 
 
  *  Trinity Walk, Wakefield 
  *  Houndshill Shopping Centre, Blackpool 
  *  West Orchards Shopping Centre, Coventry 
  *  Birchwood Shopping Centre, Warrington 
  *  Delamere Place, Crewe 
  *  Friars Walk, Newport 
 
 
 
An update on each scheme is provided below: 
 
 
Trinity Walk, Wakefield 
The bank providing the development finance, Anglo Irish Asset Finance plc 
("Anglo"), demanded an additional equity contribution in November 2008.  As 
Modus were not in a position to contribute, a public sector grant of GBP7.0m was 
secured from the Wakefield District Council and additional equity of GBP3.8m 
each was raised from CIREF and the Contractor. On this basis the Modus interest 
would have been diluted to 0.1%. 
 
 
While the legal documentation to reflect the new grant and equity terms was 
being been drawn up, Anglo Irish Bank Plc ("Anglo") was nationalised. 
 
 
Notification was then received from Dublin that notwithstanding the GBP14.6m of 
new capital agreed in principle, an additional GBP20m of equity was required or 
the loan would not be granted. The exceptionally tight deadline imposed by the 
bank meant the only option was to put Trinity Walk Wakefield Limited into 
voluntary administration. 
 
 
The Group is working with the administrators and the development partners, 
including Wakefield City Council, in order to find a solution which will allow 
the development of the Trinity Walk Retail Centre to continue. 
 
 
The Group has written off its investment in Trinity Walk Wakefield Limited, 
GBP6.65m at an attributable level, equivalent to a reduction of 9.02p in NAV per 
share. 
 
 
Houndshill Shopping Centre, Blackpool 
Discussions are taking place with the funding bank to restructure the debt as it 
now exceeds the open market value of the centre.  CIREF is committed to 
providing additional equity if a sensible solution can be reached. In this event 
it is likely that Modus will be diluted to a notional interest. 
 
 
Provision has been made in the accounts to reflect the investment at a zero net 
value. 
 
 
West Orchards, Coventry 
Following the decision by Modus not to provide any further funding, Ciref 
Coventry Limited has increased its ownership to 99.78%.  CIREF owns 81.25% of 
Ciref Coventry Limited. 
 
 
This 210,000 sq ft shopping centre, anchored by a 100,000 sq ft Debenhams 
department store, continues to trade well with only 3.0% of the lettable area 
vacant. 
 
 
The development of the new Severn Trent Water Business Centre on a site near 
West Orchards is expected to boost retailing in the Coventry City Centre. The 
new building comprises 170,000 sq ft of offices and will house 1,700 Severn 
Trent staff which are being relocated from other West Midlands locations.  It is 
expected to open in early 2010. 
 
 
Birchwood Shopping Centre, Warrington 
Negotiations with the proposed anchor for the redevelopment of the secondary end 
of the centre are at an advanced stage. The development will commence once the 
threshold pre-let level has been reached.  Discussions will be held with Modus 
and other minority shareholders with respect to the financing of this extension. 
 Those shareholders that do not participate will be diluted. 
 
 
Delamere Place, Crewe 
A redesign of the original scheme is being undertaken to simplify the 
development. Further updates will be given on timing when an agreed redesign has 
been finalised.  Equity funding will be raised from existing shareholders with 
those not participating having to dilute. 
 
 
The centre in its current form continues to trade well. Vacancies account for 
2.7% of rentable area. 
 
 
Friars Walk, Newport 
Discussions are being held with the Newport City Council with the intention of 
raising an element of public sector funding for this project. 
 
 
Modus's investment in the project going forward is under discussion. 
 
 
 
 
Interest Rate Swaps 
 
 
The Group has incurred significant mark to market losses on its interest rate 
swaps. This is as a result of the application of IFRS and despite the fact that 
much of the Group's borrowings are of high quality and could not be replaced in 
the current market at the rates that have been secured. 
 
 
Strategy 
 
 
The Group will remain opportunistic in its investment decision-making. 
 
 
In the short term, the Group intends to ensure that its portfolio is managed as 
defensively as possible. Principally, this will be achieved through: 
 
 
  *  Maximising cash generation and minimising outflows; 
  *  Ensuring loan facilities are extended well ahead of expiry dates; 
  *  Maintaining a very close watch on all debt facilities to ensure any potential 
  covenant stresses are identified well in advance and rectified before triggered; 
   and 
  *  Delaying capital expenditure projects where possible. 
 
 
 
The focus for the European portfolio in the next half year will continue to be 
on consolidation and value-enhancing asset management opportunities. With this 
in mind, it is intended that all short term leases will be extended.  Having 
extended all leases expiring in 2008/2009, the Investment Manager is currently 
in discussions with the tenants whose leases are scheduled to expire in 2010. 
 
 
The Group is well placed to withstand any prolonged recession in the UK 
and Europe and will be on the lookout for opportunities that present themselves 
in this environment. 
 
 
  FINANCIAL REVIEW 
 
 
Interim period 
 
 
The 2009 interim results reflect an operating gain of 2.89p per share, as shown 
below. 
 
 
Other than the one-off write-off of the Trinity Walk Wakefield investment, a 
large part of the significant asset and swap impairments is unrealised.

Commercial Property Price Risk 
 
 
The Directors draw attention to the risks associated with commercial property 
investments. Although over the long term property is considered a low risk 
asset, investors must be aware that significant short and medium term risk 
factors are inherent in the asset class. 
 
 
Investments in property are relatively illiquid and usually more difficult to 
realise than listed equities or bonds and this restricts the Group's ability to 
realise value in cash in the short term. 
 
 
The property valuations on which these results are based have been prepared in a 
period of market uncertainty. The current turmoil in the world's financial 
markets has resulted in commercial and residential properties selling in much 
reduced quantities with virtually no market activity in some areas. Many vendors 
are choosing not to go to the market until conditions improve. Many purchasers 
are choosing not to buy now in the expectation that market conditions will 
continue to deteriorate and they will be able to purchase more favourably in the 
future. Other transactions are failing due to the current difficulty in funding 
acquisitions. 
 
 
The lack of market activity and the resulting lack of market evidence means that 
it is generally not possible to value properties with as high a degree of 
certainty as would be the case in a more stable market with a good level of 
market evidence. 
 
 
Estimates of fair value of investment properties 
 
 
The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for 
similar lease and other contracts. In the absence of such information, the Group 
determines the amount within a range of reasonable estimates. The Group 
considers information from a variety of sources including: 
 
 
-Independent valuers; 
-Current prices in an active market for properties of a different nature, 
condition or location, adjusted for those differences; 
-Recent prices from similar properties in less active markets, with adjustments 
to reflect any changes in economic conditions; 
-Discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash 
flows, derived from the terms of any existing lease and from external evidence 
such as current market rents for similar properties in the same location and 
condition, and using discount rates that reflect current market assessments. 
 
 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with 
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and interpretations adopted 
by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The accounting 
policies have been applied consistently by the Group. The abridged consolidated 
financial statements are contained in the following pages.

Ciref Plc 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
 
 
For the 6 months ended 31 March 2009 
 
 
 
 
1.    Basis of preparation 
 
 
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Great British Pounds, 
which is the presentation currency of the Group and rounded to the nearest 
thousand pounds. They are prepared using the historical cost basis except for 
investment property and financial instruments at fair value through profit or 
loss. 
 
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use 
of accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement 
in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The estimates and 
assumptions relating to the fair value of investment properties have a 
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities within the next financial year. 
 
 
2.Accounting policies 
 
 
The interim results have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with 
those set out in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 
September 2008. 
 
 
3.Taxation 
 
 
The group is exempt from all forms of taxation in Jersey, including income, 
capital gains and withholding taxes. In jurisdictions other than Jersey, foreign 
taxes will, in some cases, be withheld at source on dividends and interest 
received by the Group. Other than Germany and Switzerland capital gains derived 
by the Group in such jurisdictions generally will be exempt from foreign income 
or withholding taxes at source. 
 
 
Income tax expense 
 
 
The Group invests in UK property and therefore is liable to income tax in the UK 
on the net rental profits. The current rate of UK income tax for a non-resident 
company is 22%. Based on current UK law, certain joint ventures in the Group 
will be subject to UK capital gains tax, or corporation tax on capital gains, on 
the realisation of UK investment property gains. 
 
 
The Group invests in Swiss property and therefore is liable to cantonal and 
federal taxes in Switzerland. The rates depend largely on the canton in which 
the property is situated and the property values. The effective rate of tax 
ranges from 22% to 25%. 
 
 
The Group also invests in German properties held either in corporates or 
partnerships. The effective rate of tax ranges from 18.463% to 25% and the rate 
of capital gains tax on any future disposal ranges from 15.825% to 20%. 
 
 
Provision has been made for deferred capital gains tax in UK joint ventures, 
where taxable temporary differences arise.
