Chairman's statement

The Group profit before tax, biological asset and hyperinflation adjustments in
the half year to 30th June 2007 was #1,863,000, compared with #1,449,000 in the
half year to June 2006.


We have continued the disclosure we introduced at the year end of displaying the
biological asset and Zimbabwe hyperinflation adjustments as a separate column in
the profit and loss account. For the reasons I gave in my Chairman's statement
for 2006, shareholders are again urged to view these adjustments with caution
when assessing the Group's financial performance. Including these adjustments,
the Group profit before tax was #2,878,000 (half year to June 2006 #2,882,000).


A major reduction in Group borrowings was made last year when all of the #7.5
million of loan stock was converted into ordinary shares. This considerably
reduced the net interest cost, which was down to #246,000 in the half year to
June 2007 from #763,000 in the comparable period in 2006.


Profits for the Food group were down 6%. Tea production was stable, though a
combination of lower tea prices and cost inflation has squeezed margins.


The perishable businesses in Zambia recorded strong improvements. The rose
company, Khal Amazi, shipped 67 million stems in the first six months, a 45%
increase on the same period in 2006. The vegetable business has concentrated on
increasing pea production to satisfy the strong seasonal demand in Europe.

The Malawi macadamia cracking factory has operated for the first time, and
performance has been in line with expectation. With our maturing nut orchards,
we expect this to be an increasing contributor to profits.


Eastern Highlands, in Zimbabwe, is still facing difficult conditions. Although
it maintained its tea production, quality was adversely affected by innumerable
interruptions to the power supplies. Inflation and movements in the market
exchange rate have soared so much that it is impossible to track the true
financial performance of this business.


Following Jensen's successful raising of a new fund (Jensen Group I Limited
Partnership 'JGILP') in July 2006, I am pleased to report that it has now
effectively allocated the entire fund to investments in and around St Petersburg
. These investments have been made in four projects, three of which are detailed
in the Review of Activities for 2006. The fourth and final investment, made in
July 2007, was the acquisition of a portfolio of 12 properties in central St
Petersburg. The current leases of the properties are less than one year. The
intention is to restructure the leases and refinance the investment with medium/
long term bank loans. We are now considering the launch of a new fund.


The Food group businesses are seasonal, so predicting the Group's results for
the year before the new season begins is always difficult. Nevertheless, based
on the assumption that crops, prices and inflation/exchange rate movements
continue at current levels, we anticipate a satisfactory outcome for the full
year.


The Board will consider making a dividend payment when the full year's results
are available.

PGI Group Plc

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements


1.             Corporate information
PGI Group Plc is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in the
United Kingdom, whose shares are publicly traded. The principal activities of
the Company and its subsidiaries ('the Group') are described in Note 3.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six
months ended 30 June 2007 were authorised for issue in accordance with a
resolution of the directors on 6 September 2007.

2.             Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended
30 June 2007 and 2006 are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The
accounting policies adopted are consistent with those followed in the
preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2006.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the
information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and
should be read in conjunction with the Group's audited financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2006. The information for the year ended 31 December
2006 does not constitute the Group's statutory accounts for 2006 as defined in
Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. Statutory accounts for 2006 have been
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The Auditors' report on those accounts
was unqualified and did not contain statements under Sections 237(2) or (3) of
the Companies Act 1985.

In the current financial year, the Group will adopt International Financial
Reporting Standard (IFRS) 7, 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures', for the first
time. As IFRS7 is a disclosure standard, there is no impact of a change in
accounting policy on these interim financial statements. Full details of the
change will be disclosed in the Group's financial statements for the year ending
31 December 2007.


At the end of 2006 the Group restated and changed its accounting policy within
the financial statements for the following:

Restatements

* To value agricultural produce after harvest at the lower of cost or net
realisable value, previously fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs.

* To record on the income statement a fair value adjustment to biological
assets, previously shown as an exchange difference movement in retained
earnings.

Change in accounting policy

*  To incorporate the effects of the impact of hyperinflation on the Group's
subsidiaries based in Zimbabwe, previously partially accounted for by recording
the monetary working capital hyperinflation adjustment.

These restatements and change in accounting policy have been accounted for
retrospectively and recognised in the consolidated statement of changes in
equity at 1 January 2006. The comparative statements for the six months ended 30
June 2006 have been restated to reflect these changes and the effect of the
above changes on the previously reported profit after taxation for the six
months ended 30 June 2006 is as follows:

In addition to the above changes, some reclassifications were made between the
income statement categories for the six months ended 30 June 2006, which had no
effect on the Group's result for the period.

In March 2007, the UK Government announced that they would introduce legislation to
reduce the UK corporation tax rate to 28% with effect from 1 April 2008. This
legislation, which has been substantively enacted by 30 June 2007, has had no
impact upon these interim financial statements, nor is it expected to affect the
Group's effective tax rate in the foreseeable future.
