CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


For the six months ended 30 June 2004, Property Fund Management plc (PFM)
recorded a loss before tax of #1.91 million (2003: profit before tax of #0.01
million) on turnover of #4.7 million (2003: #5.0 million). Loss per share for
the period ended 30 June 2004 was 5.74 pence (2003: earnings per share of #0.04
pence). On 30 June 2004, PFM's property assets under management were #924
million (2003: #870 million). The Directors have not declared an interim
dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2004.


We announced on 5 August 2004 that delays in closing the new European Fund (EHI)
would adversely affect these results and it has been primarily the delay in
earning acquisition fees that has impacted negatively in the period. The
period's figures also include the full consolidation of our Dutch and French
joint ventures and this has contributed to the increase in operating expenses.


Since 30 June 2004, the acquisition of properties within EHI has commenced with
Euro116 million having already been acquired. In the UK, the disposal of the
residual portfolio of the Second Industrial Partnership Fund has been
contracted. Both of these developments have generated substantial transaction
fees for the Company.


Shareholders should also note the announcement today of a recommended offer from
Teesland plc for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of PFM (which
it does not already own). Full details of the offer will shortly be posted to
shareholders and your board recommends acceptance of the offer. The terms of the
offer provide PFM Shareholders with the choice of continuing their equity
exposure through participating in a combination of the PFM and Teesland
businesses or realising their PFM shares for cash or a combination of both.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO PROPERTY FUND MANAGEMENT PLC


We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information for
the six months ended 30 June 2004, which comprise the Consolidated profit and
loss account, the Consolidated statement of total recognised gains and losses,
the Consolidated balance sheet, the Consolidated cash flow statement and the
related notes. We have read the other information contained in the interim
report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the financial information.


This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained
in Bulletin 1999/4 'Review of interim financial information' issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not
accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work,
for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.


Directors' responsibilities


The interim report, including the financial statements contained therein, is the
responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The directors are
responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing
Rules of the Financial Services Authority which require that the accounting
policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent
with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where any
changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.


Review work performed


We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4
issued by the Auditing Practices Board. A review consists principally of making
enquiries of management and applying analytical procedures to the financial
information and underlying financial data and based thereon, assessing whether
the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied and
adequately disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of
controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with Auditing
Standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit.
Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information.


Review conclusion


On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial information as presented for the six months
ended 30 June 2004.
