Final Results

Pathfinder Properties PLC 29 June 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 29 June 2007 Pathfinder Properties PLC Results for the year ended 31 December 2006 The Board of Pathfinder announces the results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2006, which are set out below. The audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 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 Dear Shareholder I am pleased to present the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2006. The sale of our site at River Quarter, Manchester was completed and consequently, the group has returned to profit. The net asset value of the group has increased by over 30%. The Loch Lomond site was sold by the administrators in the year under review. I am pleased to state that we have managed to resolve the position of the continuing liabilities by agreeing a one off payment. The group is now free to move forward without this problem site hanging over it. We have started our development at Newark, with the conversion of the 49 flats within the brewery. We hope to start the 99 River Edge flats within the next 6 months. The remainder of the site has outline planning, and we are in the process of firming it up into a full planning consent. During the year, the group purchased a site in Ilford with planning consent for 83 flats. The site in the centre of Ilford town is not far from the new Olympic village. After lengthy negotiations with the planners, we have managed to increase the consent from 83 to 102 residential units, together with approximately 3,000 square feet of commercial space. It is hoped to start this development before the end of this year. After many years of the group being in the doldrums, the board believes the development sites in Newark and Ilford are going to help the group grow and return substantial profits to the group. Even though the group has embarked on large developments, we have managed to keep administrative expenses at nearly the same level as last year. At this time, the board has decided not to pay any dividend, as it is in the best interest of the group to reinvest all monies and concentrate on increasing the net asset value of the group. Once the group maintains a steady profitability, it is the board's intention to resume the payment of dividends. Once again, I would like to thank everyone for all their hard work and effort in managing to turn this group around.
