Further to the announcement, on 24 September 2004, by Teesland of its offer for
all of the issued and to be issued share capital of Property Fund Management 
plc not already owned by Teesland, the board of Teesland announces that by 3.00
p.m. on 7 October 2004, valid acceptances of the Offer had been received in 
respect of 10,086,217 PFM Shares, representing 45.6 per cent. of the issued 
share capital of PFM. The Offer has, therefore, become unconditional as to
acceptances.

The Offer remains conditional, inter alia, on approval by Teesland Shareholders.
An extraordinary general meeting of Teesland is to be held at 11.30 a.m. on 20
October 2004 for this purpose.

Prior to 19 August 2004 (the date of the commencement of the Offer Period)
Teesland held 3,305,537 PFM Shares, representing 14.9 per cent. of the issued
share capital of PFM.

As set out in the Offer Document dated 4 October 2004, Teesland has received
irrevocable undertakings to accept or procure the acceptance of the Offer from
the PFM Directors and certain other PFM Shareholders in respect of holdings
totalling 10,086,217 PFM Shares, representing approximately 45.6 per cent. of
the existing issued share capital of PFM. Acceptances under the Offer have been
received in respect of these undertakings and have been included in the total
above.

In total, Teesland now owns, has received valid acceptances in respect of, or
has irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer in respect of 13,391,754 PFM
Shares, representing in aggregate approximately 60.5 per cent. of the existing
issued share capital of PFM.

Save as disclosed above, neither Teesland nor any persons acting or deemed to 
be acting in concert with it owned any PFM Shares or rights in respect thereof
prior to 19 August 2004 (the date of the commencement of the Offer Period) and,
other than as disclosed above, neither Teesland nor any persons acting or 
deemed to be acting in concert with it has acquired or agreed to acquire any 
PFM Shares or rights over such shares since that date.

The Offer will remain open for acceptance by PFM Shareholders until 3.00 p.m. 
on 25 October 2004 (unless KBC Peel Hunt and Teesland agree to extend it). PFM
Shareholders who hold their shares in certificated form and who have not yet
accepted the Offer are urged to complete and return their Forms of Acceptance 
to Capita IRG, Corporate Actions, PO Box 166, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road,
