Unaudited Interim Results
for the six months ended 30 June 2007
The Board of Pathfinder announces the results of the Company for the six months
ended 30 June 2007, which are set out below. The un-audited interim financial
statements for the six months ended 30 June 2007 are being sent to all

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
For the six months ended 30 June 2007
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to confirm that at the Annual General Meeting held on 11th
September 2007 all of the resolutions were approved.
The interim accounts show a loss for the period of £497,000. A settlement
payment of £250,000 made to the Anglo Irish Bank is included in this figure.
This sum was paid to enable the company to extricate itself from its liability
with the Bank in relation to the Loch Lomond site.
The redevelopment of the landmark Brewery Building in Newark is progressing well
and we intend to market the apartments early next year when the essential
structural repairs to the building are completed.
With regards to the site in Ilford, we have submitted a planning application to
increase the number of apartments and for additional commercial space which will
increase the value of the site and the development. We expect to have a decision
from the planners within the next few weeks. It is hoped that this will increase
the value of the assets within the company and in turn the profitability of the
company.
As always I would like to thank the Board and staff for their continued hard
work and professionalism throughout the period.
Edward Azouz
Chairman

NOTES

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
Pathfinder Properties PLC has previously prepared group financial statements in
accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice ('UK GAAP'). From 1
January 2007 the Group is required to prepare it consolidated financial
statements under International Accounting Standards and International Financial
Reporting Standards (collectively 'IFRS') as adopted by the European Union
('EU'). The Group's date of transition to IFRS is 1 January 2006 being the start
of the previous period that has been presented as comparative information.
The financial information presented in this document has been prepared on the
basis of the IFRS in issue that are either endorsed by the EU and effective at
31 December 2007 or are expected to be endorsed before the financial statements
are approved and authorized for issue. Based on these adopted and unadopted
IFRS, the directors have made assumptions about the accounting policies expected
to be applied when the first annual IFRS statements are prepared for the year
ending 31 December 2007. In addition, the adopted IFRS that will be effective in
the annual financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2007 are still
subject to change and to additional interpretations and therefore can not be
determined with certainty. Accordingly, the accounting policies for that annual
period will be determined finally only when the annual financial statements for
the Group are prepared for the year ending 31 December 2007.
The Interim Statements does not constitute statutory financial statements as
defined in section 240 of the Companies Act 1985 and have not been audited by
the company's auditors, Sedley Richard Laurence Voulters. The financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2006 have been reported on by the
Company's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of
the auditors was unqualified and did not contain a statement under s.237(2) or
(3) of the Companies Act 1985.
2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In implementing the transition to IFRS, the group has followed requirements of
IFRS 1 'First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards'
which in general requires IFRS accounting policies to be applied fully
retrospectively.
3. RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD
The Group's turnover arises principally from property development activities.
