Compliance with IFRS and their application on the property loan stock structure 
which is unique to South Africa has made it difficult for users to interpret    
these financial statements. This investor information insertion is aimed at     
disclosing to the users the basis on which the distribution per weighted average
number of combined units in issue was calculated.                               
A reconciliation has been included to illustrate the accounting adjustments     
which were not taken into account in calculating the distribution.

1.   Basis of preparation                                                       
     The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, IAS 34
- Interim Financial Reporting and the requirements of the Companies Act of 
     South Africa 1973, as amended.                                             
     IFRS 1 - First-time adoption of IFRS has been applied in the preparation of
     the group annual financial statements.                                     
There has been no impact on the income statement for prior years due to the
     adoption of IFRS, the only impact on the balance sheet has been the writing
     off of goodwill to opening retained earnings.                              
     The accounting policies are consistent with those applied for the year     
ended 30 June 2005 except for goodwill, where the policy has been adjusted 
     to comply with IFRS.                                                       
2.   Related-party transactions

concluded at arm"s length terms as would be negotiated between unrelated   
     willing parties.

     Siyathenga was a wholly owned subsidiary in the prior financial year. On   
listing, Pangbourne"s holding was diluted and at year-end was 42% which has

The Company has signed a suretyship in favour of a bank in respect of a loan of 
R58 000 000 made by the bank to the Pangbourne Unit Purchase Trust.             
In terms of a lease entered into on 1 April 1995, the Company is liable to      
compensate one of its tenants for improvements effected by the tenant to the    
fixed property, if the lease is cancelled before the contractual expiry thereof 
on 31 March 2015. The amount of compensation is based on R3 200 000, the amount 
expended by the tenant, reducing proportionately over the period of the lease.  
The Company"s obligation in this regard is covered by a mortgage bond registered
over the Company"s fixed property with a book value of R19 350 000.             
Commitments                                                                     
There are contracted commitments for capital expenditure of R145 305 000 (2005: 
R23 430 000). These will be funded from the Group"s resources.                  
The operating lease commitment for a subsidiary`s premises amounts to R129 546  
for the next 12 months.

Pangbourne recently announced the proposed acquisition of a 40,6% stake in the  
Calulo property fund. The transaction is subject to competition commission      
approval and thereafter a compulsory offer has to be made to minority           
unitholders of Calulo. It is envisaged that Calulo will serve as the specialised
office fund in the multi-fund strategy. Pangbourne will assist in the growth of 
assets in the funds as well as the placing of further equity to improve         
liquidity and investor appeal in the funds.                                     
IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures                                     
This standard is effective for the Group from the year ending 30 June 2008. The 
standard adds certain new disclosures about financial instruments to those      
currently required by IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Disclosure and            
Presentation. The Standard also replaces the disclosures currently required by  
IAS 30 Disclosures in the Financial Statements of Banks and Similar Financial   
Institutions. The Group is in the process of evaluating the effects of the new  
Standard.                                                                       
The circular dated 13 February 2006 relating to the acquisition of a portfolio  
of properties from TRFPT included a forecast for the three months ending 30 June
2006. This forecast has been materially achieved.                               
The consolidated financial statements for the year have been audited by Deloitte
& Touche and their accompanying unqualified report, as well as their unqualified
audit report on this set of financial information, is available for inspection  
at the Company"s registered office.                                             
Commentary

Pangbourne continues to deliver growth ahead of inflation to its combined       
unitholders. Distributions increased by 7,3% from 96 cents per unit to 103 cents
per unit and, added to the growth in unit price from R10,30 to R12,00, providing
a total annualised return to investors of 26,5%.  The property and investment   
portfolio has increased from R2,9 billion to R4,2 billion and properties under  
management total R7,2 billion, supporting sustainable growth in annuity income  
in the future.                                                                  
Property management                                                             
Occupancy of 96,5% reflects the buoyant property market and, with replacement   
costs of buildings still not being matched by current rental levels, there are  
no signs of this abating.                                                       
Asset management                                                                
Pangbourne has continued its aggressive growth strategy, having successfully    
listed Siyathenga Property Fund in August 2005, followed by the black           
empowerment deal with Yard Capital who acquired a 6,15% stake in Pangbourne on  
the back of a R125 million property acquisition.  Structuring the transaction as
a vendor placement enabled Pangbourne to effect an empowerment deal which was   
not dilutionary to unitholders.  The acquisition of the Transnet Retirement     
Funds Property Trust ("TRFPT") portfolio for R1,4 billion enabled Pangbourne to 
significantly grow the assets of both Pangbourne and Siyathenga with quality,   
yield-enhancing properties.                                                     
Pangbourne recently announced the proposed acquisition of a 40,6% stake in the  
Calulo property fund. The transaction is subject to Competition authorities     
approval and thereafter a compulsory offer has to be made to minority           
unitholders of Calulo. It is envisaged that Calulo will serve as the specialised
office fund in the multi-fund strategy.                                         
In addition to the TRFPT portfolio and the Yard Capital vendor placing for      
properties, Pangbourne acquired 19 buildings for R147 million.  During the year 
22 buildings were sold for R111 million.                                        
Valuations                                                                      
One sixth of the properties are valued on a rotational basis by an independent  
external valuer registered as a professional valuer in terms of the Property    
Valuers Profession Act, 2000 (Act 47 of 2000) every six months.  Valuations have
been consistently applied on a discounted cash flow basis, using a risk-free    
rate, adjusted for a property risk factor. Further allowances are made for,     
amongst others, vacancies, rental reversions to market, tenant installations and
capital expenditure. The valuations have been assessed at executive committee,  
audit committee and board level for rationale, consistency and accuracy. The    
result of the revaluation process was an increase of R377 million to the        
property portfolio.                                                             
Strategy                                                                        
Pangbourne"s strategy is to have an associated house of specialised property    
funds. This strategy provides Pangbourne with annuity income from its directly  
held properties, from service contracts with the specialised funds and from the 
distributions received from the strategic holdings. In addition to the annuity  
income, this strategy gives Pangbourne the opportunity of warehousing properties
for the specialised funds, or partnering with reputable developers, in order to 
assist in the growth of the associated funds. Pangbourne maintains gearing at
