Highlights: • Increase in properties under management from £1.5b to £2.6b over the six month period including circa £500m from the acquisition of the fund management business of MWB; • Net asset value per share increased by 11.6% to 433p over the six month period on a fully diluted basis (31 December 2002 388p); • Profit before tax of £8.3m (30 June 2002 £4.4m before exceptionals of £7.2m); • Total return, including revaluation surplus, of £36.8m (30 June 2002 £16.6m); • A 4p interim dividend to be paid on 17 October 2003 (2002: 3.0p); • Planning permission granted for the Junction Fund's retail park development at Aylesbury; • Acquisition of Castle Mall Norwich.

The total portfolio under management has increased substantially from £1.5bn to £2.6bn. Profit before tax was £8.3m (30 June 2002: £2.8m loss) and our total return, including revaluation gains, was £36.8m compared to £16.6m for the same period last year. We are also pleased to report that fully diluted asset backing per share has increased 11.6% to 433p per share over the six month period. DIVIDEND Following the establishment of a strong flow of fee income from our asset management business, the Board has decided to increase the dividend from 3p to 4p per share. This will be paid on 17 October to shareholders on the register on 3 October 2003. SHOPPING CENTRES The Mall Fund Gross assets of The Mall Fund have increased from a year end figure of £724.8m to £978.4m. This includes two principal acquisitions completed in the half year: • The Mall Chester - £105.7m • The Mall Sutton Coldfield - £104.0m In addition, our ownership at The Mall, Epsom was consolidated with the purchase of the adjacent High Street, Waterstones unit for £1.6m. These transactions now bring the total square footage in the Mall Fund to 4.1m. Mall Fund performance for the half year was 8.0% ungeared and 12.1% geared. The annualised geared fund return since inception in March 2002 is 26.1%. Rental values excluding acquisitions made in the half year grew by 1.85% to £83m. Net rental annual income has risen to £71.25m, an increase of 4.5% on a like for like basis. In March 2003, the Fund's equity base was enhanced by a £31m investment by Scottish Amicable which diluted the Group's share of the fund from 49.4% to 45.8%. At the same time the life of the fund, and of the Group's management agreement, was extended from 10 to 15 years. Yesterday we announced that the Mall fund has agreed to buy the Castle Mall shopping centre in Norwich for £115m. ISIS Property, the vendor, is investing the entire proceeds in the Mall fund, diluting C&R's interest from 45.8% to 36.7%. RETAIL PARKS The Junction Fund The gross assets of The Junction Fund have increased from a year end figure from £536m to £749m at June 2003. The first six months performance was 7.4% ungeared and 11.1% geared. It is estimated that the rental values have increased in the period by 5.8%. Passing rent has risen by 8% on a like for like basis, and rent reviews are being achieved above expectations. In February 2003, The Junction Limited Partnership was part of a consortium which acquired a substantial portfolio from Chartwell a subsidiary of Kingfisher. This transaction brought approximately £143m of new stock into The Junction. Our first rebranded Junction retail park opened in Hull in April with our first pre-let "Pod". The occupiers, which include Starbucks and Carphone Warehouse, are reporting good trade and the visitor numbers to the park and the dwell time have both increased. We heard last week that the planning permission for 159,000 sq ft of retail space had been granted for the Fund's site at Aylesbury. We expect building work to start later this year. The Glasgow Fort, Auchinlea Our retail park division has a joint venture with Pillar to develop a new retail and leisure park near Glasgow and we are pleased to report significant progress with a start on site made in March 2003. Leases have been exchanged so far for a total of £6.1m per annum representing approximately two thirds of the target rents for the first phase. The key tenants which have been signed to date include Next, JJB Sports, Virgin, River Island, Arcadia, Argos and Boots. It is expected that this project will be open for trade in Autumn 2004, and that the estimated total cost of this phase will be £124m. Swansea Retail Park The Group acquired this 30 acre site from Swansea City Council for £24m in July 2003 and construction has just started. It has planning consent for 322,000 sq ft of retail space and 30,000 sq ft of leisure space. Occupier demand has been encouraging with pre-lets obtained of more than 190,000 sq ft to destination anchors including a B&Q store of 102,000 sq ft. LEISURE X-Leisure In January 2003, we acquired a leisure property fund business from Marylebone Warwick Balfour which manages approximately £500m of leisure property held in three separate funds. The funds own 18 leisure assets with 2.9m sq ft of space, including Fountain Park in Edinburgh, Star City in Birmingham and O2 in North London. A team of 17 joined Capital & Regional and has been merged with the Capital & Regional unit which manages the Xscape joint ventures, led by PY Gerbeau. Since taking over, we have introduced a programme of seasonal events supported by marketing and PR campaigns. The effect has been to raise awareness in local communities and increase footfall. The number of voids in the portfolio has fallen. We have also started to focus on medium term business plans for adding value to each individual property. We are now starting to discuss with the investors of X-Leisure the possibilities for restructuring of the three funds. Xscape Our Xscape operations are progressing well. The Milton Keynes Xscape has seen consistent increases in footfall which is expected to exceed 6m visitors this year, a 22% increase on last year. This has resulted in increased rental values as the occupiers trade profitably. The Castleford Xscape is on programme for completion of construction at the end of September this year with an official launch in mid October. The project is on budget and on time. 81% of the floor area has been leased to date with detailed negotiations progressing with additional operators. We hope to commence our third Xscape at Braehead, Glasgow in partnership with Capital Shopping Centres in the summer of 2004. Great Northern On 30 May the Group entered into a 50:50 joint venture with AWG, the owners of the Great Northern Leisure and Retail Complex in Manchester. This property offers significant opportunities to use Capital & Regional's retail and leisure expertise to add value through new lettings and more imaginative use of the space available. The terms of the joint venture enable us to participate in a disproportionate share of the upside. OUTLOOK There is strong interest from investors, both institutional and private for property in the sectors in which we operate and this has contributed to the increased valuations. What is really important to us, however, is that our particular occupiers are generally trading well and demand for space is strong in all three of the sectors in which we operate. We see no reason in the medium term for either of these to change and therefore are confident of our future growth. INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO CAPITAL & REGIONAL PLC Introduction We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2003 which comprises the profit and loss account, the statement of total recognised gains and losses, the reconciliation of movements in shareholders' funds, the balance sheet, the cash flow statement and related notes 1 to 13. 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 Bulletin 1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed. Directors' responsibilities The interim report, including the financial information 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 polices and presentation applied to the interim figures are 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 the guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making enquiries of group 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 unless otherwise 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 United Kingdom 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 2003.
