The unaudited interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2006 are being sent to all shareholders. Copies may be obtained from the Company by writing to Pathfinder Properties PLC, 1001 Finchley Road, London NW11 7HB. CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT For the six months ended 30 June 2006 Dear Shareholder, I am pleased to confirm that at the Annual General Meeting held on the 8th September 2006 all of the resolutions were approved. Now that the sale of the River Quay site in Manchester has completed, we are in a good financial position to push the company forward and to take advantage of opportunities that we find during the next twelve months. Subsequent to the period under review, your company has recently purchased an exciting development site in East London which is a former car park in the centre of Ilford with planning permission for 83 apartments for a cash consideration of £6 million. We are at the early stages, but we intend to start carrying out the works next year ; the development will take around 24 months to complete. This is a good development scheme for the company and we are working closely with the professional team to minimise the risks and maximise the return to the company. I would like to thank the Board and the staff for their continued hard work and professionalism throughout the year.
