enjoy strong investor demand and rental appreciation has been positive.  We took
the opportunity to make the strategic acquisition of CHH which has now been
fully integrated and is performing well.  I am pleased to announce today that
the Company is, subject to Shareholder approval, raising up to #40m of new
equity to further develop the business.  The second half has started well and

Chairman's Statement



In June 2006, the Group announced its intention to convert to a real estate
investment trust ("UK-REIT") and on 1 January 2007 the Group's conversion to a
UK-REIT became effective.


The Group also, with effect from 1 January 2007, changed its accounting
reference date to 31 December. The current accounting period, which commenced on
1 July 2006, will therefore comprise 18 months ending 31 December 2007.  In
addition to the publication of these financial statements for the six months
ended 31 December 2006, the Group will prepare a second interim report for the
six months ending 30 June 2007 and final financial statements for the 18 months
ending 31 December 2007.


The results of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2006 reflect
further progress. The Group has continued to expand its portfolio of modern
purpose built primary care properties, both through individual asset purchases
from a number of developers and by portfolio acquisitions, having recently
completed, in December 2006, the acquisition of Cathedral Healthcare (Holdings)
Limited ("CHH") with its portfolio of nine properties, for a cash consideration
of #30.9m.


The total gross assets acquired as a result of the CHH acquisition, once fully
developed, are expected to amount to #39.2m. It is expected that these assets
will generate an annual rental income of approximately #2.0m, reflecting an
initial yield of approximately 5%.


As a result of the regular six monthly review, the property portfolio has
increased by #13.4m, with the diluted net asset value per share increasing by
38% to 420.9p per share compared to 305.1p at 30 June 2006.  This increase
reflects both higher rents and the tightening of yields in the market.


As a consequence of the CHH acquisition, continued individual property
acquisitions and the revaluation surplus, the Group's investment portfolio, at
31 December 2006, had risen to #260.3m. The Group's closing portfolio, including
development loans, leases and commitments, totalled #293.8m.


The Group's profit before taxation, for the six months to 31 December 2006,
totalled #9.0m (2005: #9.4m), a decrease of 4.2%. After the UK-REIT conversion
charge and release of the deferred tax provision, profit after tax for the
period was #29.6m (2005: #7.7m). Diluted earnings per share, which include the
benefit of revaluation gains on investment properties, were 125.4p, an increase
of 280% over the first half of last year (33.0p). Adjusted diluted earnings per
share for the first half were 6.9p, 6% higher than the interim period last year
(6.5p).


The Board proposes to pay an interim dividend of 7.5p per share, a rise of 0.75p
per share over last year's interim dividend. The dividend will be paid on 22 May
2007 to Shareholders on the Register of Members on 23 March 2007.


During the six months ended 31 December 2006, the Group has taken delivery of
#34.9m of completed and fully let properties at Didsbury, Clowne, Hythe,
Wombwell, Sheerness, Clapham, Hoddesden, Milton Keynes, Oxted and Norwich and
entered into new commitments totalling #34.5m during the period at Penkridge,
Kettering, Sheerness, Sutton, Handcross, Wednesbury, Hoddesden (extension) and
Milton Keynes (extension).

Although there have been reports of funding delays within the NHS, the Group has
a strong forward pipeline of transactions. The annualised rent roll has
increased from #11.3m at 30 June 2006 to #13.3m at 31 December 2006,
representing both new deliveries and rental increases.  Rental increases secured
during the period amounted to #0.3m.  On balance, the Group continues to obtain
satisfactory rent reviews.


The Group continues to monitor its exposure to interest rates and, during the
period, has consolidated the RBS interest rate swaps.  The gearing of the Group
was 59% as at 31 December 2006 (based on the value of property covering debt)
and the Group has covered 59% of its exposure to interest rates for the
remainder of the financial period. The Group has broadly similar hedging in
place for the next eight years.


The share save scheme currently has 35 members representing 83,779 shares.
Further details can be found on the website: www.phpgroup.co.uk.


The Board has made alternative arrangements with the Registrar, Capita IRG, to
offer a dividend reinvestment scheme for Shareholders who wish to reinvest their
dividend as shares. A letter explaining this scheme, together with terms and
conditions and an application form, will be posted to new Shareholders with the
published Interim Report.


On 21 September 2006, the Joint Managers exercised their options to acquire 1.6m
shares at a price of #1.71 per share pursuant to the Management Options
agreement dated 17 September 2003.  The number of shares in issue as at 31
December 2006 was 24,277,718.


On 16 November 2006, Shareholders approved the amendments to the Management
Agreement by way of a Deed of Variation whereby the Joint Managers will be
entitled to a performance incentive fee.


On 14 February 2007, the Group negotiated a #20m increase in loan facilities to
#140m from The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and a #20m increase to #50m from
Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c.


The portfolio now has some 89 properties with a further seven contracted for
delivery and two extensions also contracted for delivery.  The portfolio has
performed extremely well and the Board believes that the combination of the
high-quality property portfolio, long lease lengths and strong covenant quality
make a desirable portfolio for future income and capital appreciation.

NOTES:


1.    Accounting Policies


Basis of preparation/ Statement of compliance

The Group's financial statements for the six months to 31 December 2006 have
been presented under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as
adopted by the European Union and on the basis of the accounting policies set
out in the statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2006, which are also
expected to apply for the period ending 31 December 2007.This report is prepared
in compliance with IAS34:"Interim Financial Reporting".


The financial information contained in this report does not constitute statutory
accounts within the meaning of Section 240 Companies Act 1985. The auditors'
report on the full financial statements under section 235 Companies Act 1985,
for the year ended 30 June 2006, did not contain a statement under Section 237
(2) or (3) Companies Act 1985. This audit report, which was unqualified, was
delivered to the Registrar of Companies together with financial statements for
the year ended 30 June 2006.


Convention

The financial statements are presented in Sterling rounded to the nearest
thousand.



Segmental reporting

The Group operates under one business segment and one geographical segment,
being investment in primary health care property within the United Kingdom.



Basis of consolidation

The Group's financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Primary
Health Properties PLC and its wholly owned subsidiary undertakings. Subsidiaries
are consolidated from the date of their acquisition, being the date on which the
Group obtained control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such
control ceases. Control comprises the power to govern the financial and
operating policies of the investee so as to obtain benefit from its activities
and is achieved through direct or indirect ownership of voting rights; currently
exercisable or convertible potential voting rights; or by way of contractual
agreement. The financial statements of the subsidiary undertakings are prepared
for the accounting reference period ending 31 December each year, using
consistent accounting policies. All intercompany balances and transactions,
including unrealised profits arising from them, are eliminated.



Conversion to UK-REIT

The Group's conversion to UK REIT status was effective from 1 January 2007.

Conversion to a UK-REIT means that, where the relevant UK-REIT criteria are met,
the Group's property profits, both income and gains, should be exempt from UK
taxation from 1 January 2007.  The deferred tax liabilities as at 31 December
2006 of #30.0m are therefore released with #29.6m credited to the Group Income
Statement and #0.4m taken direct to the cashflow hedging reserve.


On conversion to UK-REIT, the Group is subject to a taxation charge based on the
value of properties as at the date of conversion, amounting to #5.2m. The amount
is payable over four years.



Change of accounting reference date

The Group changed its accounting reference date to 31 December, with effect from
1 January 2007. The current accounting reference period, which commenced on 1
July 2006, will therefore comprise 18 months ending 31 December 2007. In
addition to these interim financial statements for the six months ended 31
December 2006, the Group will prepare a second interim report for the six months
ending 30 June 2007 and final financial statements for the 18 month period
ending 31 December 2007.



2.    Acquisition of Cathedral Healthcare (Holdings) Ltd ("CHH")


On 22 December 2006, the Group exchanged contracts to acquire 100% of CHH for a
cash consideration of #30.9m. CHH was the holding company of a group of
companies that owned nine primary healthcare facilities across the UK which have
been incorporated into the Group portfolio.


Of the nine facilities, three are under construction and are expected to be
completed by 31 December 2007. In addition, two of the completed facilities are
undergoing extension work, which is expected to be finished in 2007.

Consideration of #30.9m was paid upon completion. Cash acquired upon acquisition
of CHH amounted to #0.2m.

The total gross assets acquired once fully developed are expected to amount to
#39.2m. These assets are expected to generate a total annual rental income of
approximately #2.0m, reflecting an initial yield of approximately 5%.

     Details of the acquisition of CHH:

                                                                      #'000


  Total cost of acquisition                                          30,852
  Investment and development property acquired                      (30,825)
  Other net liabilities acquired                                      5,312

  Goodwill arising on acquisition                                     5,339



Prior to the acquisition of CHH, the investment and development properties were
included in the books of CHH at #21.5m. A fair value exercise was carried out by
Lambert Smith Hampton as at 1 December 2006 resulting in an uplift in value of
these properties of #9.3m to #30.8m.  A deferred tax liability arose on this
uplift of #2.8m.


As the Group paid consideration equal to the value of the acquired properties,
goodwill arises in respect of the other assets and liabilities, principally a
deferred tax liability of #4.9m. On conversion to UK-REIT, the deferred tax
liability is eliminated resulting in an impairment of goodwill arising on
acquisition.


The impact of post-acquisition trading on the Group Income Statement is not
material.




3    Investment Properties


The freehold, leasehold and development properties have been independently
valued at fair value by Lambert Smith Hampton Chartered Surveyors and Valuers,
for the six months ended 31 December 2006.


The revaluation gain for the six months ended 31 December 2006 amounted to
#13.4m.


Property additions during the period amounted to #45.3m (including the acquired
CHH properties of #30.8m). Properties disposed of during the period, valued at
#0.4m as at 30 June 2006, realised a gain of #0.04m.

5   Performance incentive scheme


On 16 November 2006, Shareholders approved the amendments to the Management
Agreement whereby the Joint Managers will be entitled to a performance incentive
fee of 15% of any performance in excess of an 8% per annum increase in the
Company's "Total Return" as derived from the audited financial statements for
the respective financial period.


The Total Return shall be determined by comparing the variation in the stated
net asset value per share (on a fully diluted basis, adjusting for deferred tax
and the REIT conversion charge and adding back gross dividends paid or declared
in such period)  against the fully diluted net asset value per share from the
previous period's audited accounts.


Included in Administration Expenses within the Income Statement is an estimated
incentive fee expense of #752,000. This amount has been calculated based on 50%
of the expected performance incentive fee for the 12 month period to 30 June
2007.


6. Dividends paid

Dividends paid in the period are as follows:

* figures for basic net asset value calculations


There is no difference between the normal and adjusted net asset values as at 31
December 2006, due to the release of all deferred tax liabilities due to
conversion to UK-REIT.


Calculations assume that the dilution takes place on the respective balance
sheet dates.



Following the exercise of the Management Options by the Joint Managers on 21
September 2006, there is no dilution as at 31 December 2006 and therefore there
is no difference between adjusted basic and diluted net asset values as at 31
