                           ('DDC' or the 'Company')

       Unaudited Interim results for the six months ended 30th June 2007

                                   Highlights

   * Successful secondary Placing raising a further #100 million (before
     expenses) completed in May 2007

   * Diversified portfolio spread across 6 countries in Central and Eastern
     Europe

   * During the six-month period ended 30th June 2007, the Company committed
     #29 million of equity to a forward purchase of 55% of a development in 
     Riga. Since 30th June 2007, announced a further two development 
     transactions for a combined equity commitment of #30 million (including the 
     Arad development announced today)

   * On track to meet the investment targets timetable set in May 2007
     supported by a robust pipeline of some ten transactions which includes a
     balanced mix of development and income producing opportunities

   * On track to deliver dividend targets of 10p for 2007 and 2008

   * Net rental income of #11.11 million (30th June 2006: #4.42 million)

   * Net profit grew to #7.16million (30th June 2006: #5.18 million) excludes
     any new revaluation surplus as the properties are only revalued on an annual
     basis

   * Basic earnings per share is 3.7 pence, while diluted earnings per share
     is 3.6 pence

   * NAV per share of 112.41 pence (31 December 2006: 114.15 pence).  Adjusted 
     NAV per share of 119.67 pence (31 December 2006: 126.68 pence). The
     change in NAV values largely reflects the impact of the #100m secondary 
     Placing and dividend declared of #10.7 million during the period.


Rupert Cottrell, Chairman of Dawnay, Day Carpathian, said: "We are pleased to
report that the Company remains in a good position with a strong and
geographically diverse portfolio. While global market conditions have unsettled
specific markets, revenues from our operations have been unaffected and in time
should generate acquisition opportunities for the Company as some of the less
established buyers fall away thereby reducing competition. The additional funds
raised in May 2007 will enable the continued expansion of the portfolio and the
Company is pleased to confirm it remains on track to deliver on its dividend
targets of 10p for 2007 and 2008."

Chairman's statement

I am pleased to report that following the successful secondary Placing completed
in May 2007, the Company is on track to build a substantial retail portfolio in
Central and Eastern Europe, within the timetable set. While market conditions
have become less predictable, the property investment manager, Dawnay, Day
PanTerra ("PanTerra") believes that the Company is well positioned given the
current transaction pipeline which in itself is sufficient to meet the Company's
investment targets together with the expectation of being able to take advantage
of more opportunistic purchases arising from reduced competition as less
established buyers find it harder to operate.

During the six-month period, the Company delivered a solid financial performance
generated currently from the income producing property portfolio which benefits
significantly from being diversified geographically as well as by target
customer groups.

The Company's investment strategy remains focused on enhancing the
diversification of the present portfolio through acquiring or developing new
properties in new locations as well as continuing to pursue the significant
asset management opportunities across the existing portfolio. Ultimately, the
Company is committed to providing shareholders with a resilient property
portfolio and delivering reliable dividend income and capital growth.


Financial results

The Company generated net rental income for the period of #11.11 million (30th
June 2006: #4.42 million) which led to a profit before tax of #7.16 million
(30th June 2006: #5.18 million).

The basic earnings per share of the Company were 3.7 pence, while the diluted
earnings per share were 3.6 pence. NAV per share was 112.41 pence (31 December
2006: 114.15 pence) and the adjusted NAV per share was 119.67 pence (31 December
2006: 126.68 pence). The change in NAV values largely reflects the impact of the
#100 million secondary Placing and dividend declared of #10.7 million during the
period.

As at 30th June 2007, the Company's borrowings totalled #256.2 million,
representing a loan to value ratio of 69%. The weighted average lengths of the
loans are approximately 2.7 years. The weighted average interest rate of the
borrowings is 5.21% for the period. The Company has hedged its interest rate
exposure by swapping the variable Euribor rate to an average fixed rate of
3.57%.


Dividends

The Board has declared its first dividend in respect of the financial year ended
31 December 2007 of 3.33 pence per share on 23 April 2007. This will be paid on
28 September 2007 to ordinary shareholders on the register at the close of
business on 4 May 2007.

The Company's intention is to pay an additional interim dividend of 3.33 pence
per share, together with a final dividend for the financial year ended 31
December 2007, which is intended to result in an aggregate dividend payment of
10 pence per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2007.


Property portfolio

During the period, the Company committed #29 million of equity to the forward
purchase of 55% of the Riga development and since then we have announced a
further two development transactions for a combined equity commitment of #30
million. In addition, all conditions were met in the early part of 2007, with
regard to the final completion of the #57.75 million acquisition of the
Interfruct portfolio in Hungary first announced in November 2006.

The underlying market conditions reflect increasing consumer spending and
affordable rents. This is feeding through to more prompt rental payments.

The development of the Galleria Patollo shopping centre in Riga, Latvia, is
continuing on track, this is a substantial project which on completion in 2009
is expected to be worth in excess of #170 million. The Company's largest asset,
the Promenada Shopping Centre in Poland is currently being extended by 7,600 sqm
to incorporate further retail space and this is also progressing to plan.

Today the Company announced the acquisition of a retail development site in
Arad, Romania for #8.3 million. This acquisition follows on from the acquisition
of the development site in Cluj-Napoca, Romania announced in August 2007 and is
the second of the four pipeline deals identified by PanTerra at the time of the
second fund raising completed in May 2007.


Share buy back

The Company continues to actively monitor share buy back opportunities, but is
equally conscious of conserving existing cash resources for its investment
commitments.


Outlook

The macroeconomic outlook within our target markets is still attractive and the
Board believe it provides the Company with excellent growth prospects in the
consumer sector in the medium and short term.

The present market turbulence experienced in the credit markets of primarily USA
and Western Europe has so far only had a slight impact on our target markets. In
addition, the slight adjustments in pricing on new debt instruments for
prospective deals are compensated by the favourable changes in the Euro swap
rates.

The Board feels that the present market conditions paired with the Company's
resources and its experience in these markets provides us with excellent
opportunities to deliver outstanding value to our shareholders.
