JENNERS PRINCES STREET EDINBURGH LIMITED


INTERIM REPORT

Group turnover in the first half increased by 2% on last year, with both Princes
Street and Edinburgh Airport improving on last year's performance.

Operating profits have been reduced by the start up costs for our new store at
Loch Lomond Shores, which opened on 19th September 2002, although overall
expenses have been controlled within budget. The reduction in interest revenue
reflects a continued period of low interest rates and a reduction in funds on
deposit due to the financing of the above.

The results for the full year will depend on the important trading period before
Christmas. Clear signs of consumer expenditure slowing down and increased
competition in the city centre makes the outlook more unpredictable than usual.

An interim dividend on the Ordinary Shares of 82p per share has been declared
and will be payable on 4th November to members on the register at 31st October
2002.



By order of the Board
E Barclay, Secretary                                        3rd October 2002
