EMBARGOED UNTIL 7.00AM 9TH MAY 2003



OFFER FOR PROPERTY INCOME & GROWTH



SECOND CLOSING DATE - OFFER EXTENDED TO 15TH MAY 2003







Land Race Limited ("Land Race") announces that by 3.00pm on 8th May 2003, being
the second closing date of the Offer, valid acceptances had been received for
58,338,324 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 67.05 per cent. of the
existing issued ordinary share capital of Property Income & Growth Fund Limited
("Property Income & Growth"). Land Race has therefore decided to extend the
Offer until 3.00 pm on 15th May 2003.



Land Race notes the announcements released on 6th May 2003 in connection with an
approach from ING Real Estate concerning contemplated inter-conditional offers,
indicating that the contemplated offers, if made, would, inter alia, be
conditional on the satisfactory outcome of their further due diligence, on
receiving valid acceptances in respect of both 75% of the Ordinary Shares and
75% of the ZDP Shares, and on the amendment at separate meetings of the
Subsidiary's ordinary shareholders and ZDP Shareholders of the Articles of
Association of the Subsidiary to enable ING Real Estate to acquire,
compulsorily, all the remaining ZDP Shares in issue if acceptances have been
received in respect of 75% of the ZDP Shares.



Land Race wishes to remind Shareholders that its offer is the only formal offer
which has been received by Property Income & Growth and the consideration under
the Offer, including the special dividend, cannot be despatched to Ordinary
Shareholders until the Offer is declared wholly unconditional.



Land Race therefore urges those Ordinary Shareholders who have not already done
so to accept its cash offer without further delay.
